After disappearing for ten years, the junior sister made the entire sect kneel down to welcome her.

Liu Rumei gave a slight curtsy in thanks, her tone earnest.

"I am deeply grateful to my friend Zhenzhen for her kindness and generous help during the lowest point in Rumei's life."

"Ru Mei hereby swears with a sincere heart: In the future, Ru Mei will repay this debt with boundless gratitude. If I break this oath, may I be struck by lightning and die without a burial place."

And standing behind Liu Rumei was Yu Tianrong.

He was already very grateful to Luo Zhenhuan.

Seeing that her master had already started, she immediately followed suit.

"Me too! Thank you for your kindness and generosity, Sect Leader Luo. My master and I will never betray you."

Luo Huanzhen's big eyes couldn't help but crinkle into a smile.

"You guys are so serious."

"We're an alliance that defies fate, so of course we should help each other!"

She and Liu Rumei are undoubtedly villains and cannon fodder. The fact that they have come this far is because they are rebelling against their predetermined fate.

As for Yu Tianrong, a cultivator without excellent spiritual roots or outstanding aptitude, embarking on the path of cultivation is also a form of resistance against fate.

Luo really felt that his name was extremely fitting.

And the future.

Liu Rumei truly became one of the supreme medical masters.

And this junior disciple who followed behind her, with a low cultivation level and low-grade spiritual root, truly defied the heavens and changed his fate.

He became the most outstanding disciple of a master healer, and a beacon of hope and a benchmark in the hearts of countless cultivators with mediocre spiritual roots.

……

at the same time.

Dongzhou, Medicine King Valley.

Liu Ruoci, along with a group of medical cultivators from Medicine King Valley, boarded the sect's spirit boat and prepared to depart.

They are a medical cultivation sect that specializes in the art of medicine.

They couldn't possibly miss the medical skills ranking competition.

Besides him and the disciples of Medicine King Valley, six elders also went to Zhouhai City.

Even the elders have to participate in the triennial medical cultivation ranking competition.

The goal was to improve my ranking from three years ago.

Of course, if you feel that you haven't made any progress, you can choose to give up, but your ranking will automatically drop by twenty places.

But everyone's gotten used to it.

The phenomenon of new generations replacing the old is commonplace in the medical training circle.

……

Four days later.

Luo Huanzhen and his two companions arrived at Zhouhai City.

Zhouhai City is a small seaside city that was once prosperous. Various sects that went to the North Sea Secret Realm to search for treasures would usually choose to stay here for a few days if they were not in a hurry.

This has spurred the development of Zhouhai City.

However, since Xiao Hei returned to its nest and the North Sea Secret Realm collapsed, the major sects have stopped coming to the North Sea much.

As a result, the number of monks visiting this seaside city, which relies on the sea for its livelihood, has decreased sharply.

It became a small, peripheral town in Dongzhou.

However, because the Medical Cultivation Competition was held here, the once somewhat desolate Zhouhai City has become lively again.

As soon as Luo Huanzhen and his two companions entered the city on the small lotus throne, they felt the atmosphere of the grand competition.

People were everywhere.

Various independent cultivators set up stalls, vendors selling food, and cultivators selling all sorts of trinkets... grilled sea beast meat, steamed spirit oysters, and all sorts of sea-related toys.

The three of them bought some things as soon as they entered the city.

Then, while eating, they searched around for a spirit inn to stay in.

However, there were simply too many cultivators participating in this medical cultivation competition, and many well-located spirit houses with good local reviews had already been booked in advance.

After being told her classes were full by another spirit shop, Liu Rumei looked at Luo Huanzhen apologetically: "I found out a little late, it's all my fault."

Luo Huanzhen led them on a magical artifact the whole way.

Liu Rumei felt guilty that she couldn't find a place to rest as soon as she arrived.

Luo Huanzhen comforted her, "It's alright, Sister Mei. You're busy cultivating, so it's already lucky that you even know about the Medical Cultivation Competition. Don't be too hard on yourself. My body is in excellent condition; I can keep going!"

As she spoke, she patted her small chest.

She experienced even more arduous things while inside the Ten Thousand Demon Banner, and going ten days or half a month without sleep was the norm.

These little difficulties are nothing.

After saying that, Luo Huanzhen pointed to another spirit shop not far away, "Shall we go ask at that one?"

The signboard of that spirit shop didn't look as high-end as these other spirit shops.

It looked a bit dusty.

But now, they no longer have the choice of which spirit shop to choose.

The key is to live wherever there is a place to live.

Liu Rumei had been focusing on these large inns because she wanted Luo Zhenhuan to stay in a better place.

She kept hitting roadblocks and gave up.

Seeing the inn that Luo Huanzhen pointed to, he nodded and led Luo Huanzhen and Yu Tianrong toward the inn.

People are constantly coming and going in the lobby.

It seems that even in this kind of spirit inn, quite a few people stay.

With a nervous heart, Liu Rumei took two steps forward and asked the shopkeeper who was sitting behind the counter doing the accounting.

"Shopkeeper, are there any rooms available?"

This time, we received good news.

The innkeeper replied, "Yes! You're in luck, fairy! Our inn has expanded, and we currently have plenty of rooms. How many rooms would you like?"

Liu Rumei's slightly furrowed brows relaxed.

Great.

"I need three rooms. How many spirit stones will it cost?"

The shopkeeper's abacus clicked rapidly, and after calculating a number, he informed Liu Rumei.

The price isn't cheap, but it's not expensive either.

During her time at the Xuantian Sect, Liu Rumei often took on sect medicine cultivation tasks, and would also help disciples refine pills or treat illnesses to earn some spirit stones.

The price is 30-40% cheaper than if they went to a doctor or repair shop outside.

She also managed to save up a little money.

It's a mutually beneficial arrangement.

Therefore, she paid the spirit stones without hesitation.

After obtaining the spirit key to the spirit inn, Liu Rumei happily led Luo Huanzhen and Yu Tianrong up to the second floor.

The three had just left not long ago.

People stepped into the gate of this spirit shop once again.

There were many people, all wearing the uniforms of the Medicine King Valley medical practitioners. Who else could the leader be but Liu Ruoci?

After arriving in Zhouhai City, they were turned away by several spirit inns before finally arriving at this one with the help of a fellow Daoist.

Liu Ruoci gave Qian Lao a look.

Old Qian then stepped forward and knocked on the table, "Manager, are there any rooms available?"

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper turned his head and glanced at the number of people behind them.

There are quite a lot of people...

So he asked, "How many rooms do you need? I need to calculate it."

Old Qian said, "Two people share a spirit inn, and the Valley Master has a room by himself. We need eighty-two rooms."

After hearing this, the innkeeper said with an embarrassed look, "What a coincidence! We only have eighty-one rooms left. If you had come an hour earlier, we would have had enough rooms!"

After a moment's thought, Old Qian decided, "It's alright, then we'll take all these houses from Medicine King Valley."
