Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

This guy...

In the past, Ye Yuchan would have definitely kicked Yun Ping in the head, but now she probably understands that this is just a little trick by the old rogue to flirt.

He has never been serious about doing things.

The old rogue took a deep breath, rubbed his hands together, glanced back at the small wooden house, and after confirming that Ning Xuchen had not finished brewing the medicine, slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

Immediately afterwards...

Snap snap snap snap snap snap—

The sounds of flesh colliding could be heard from inside the room.

Ye Yuchan, who watched the whole thing from the sidelines, was completely bewildered.

……

Five minutes later.

"They're here! They ...!"

Carrying a large bowl of medicinal soup with dark foam floating on top, Ning Xuchen, his face pale, hurriedly came out of the wooden house and quickly slipped into the room where Lu Yingqiu was.

As soon as he entered, he saw Ye Yuchan and Yun Ping standing silently in their original positions, as if they hadn't moved at all.

But for some reason, Ye Yuchan's expression was subtly awkward.

But Ning Xuchen had no time to care about any of that. He rushed to Lu Yingqiu's side, helped his master up, and hurriedly said:

"Master, the medicine is here... Just drink this..."

Before he could finish speaking, he noticed something was amiss.

Why is my master's pretty face so red? There seem to be two palm-sized marks left on it?

Ning Xuchen scratched his head blankly, his pretty face swollen. He wondered why his master's face seemed a little chubby.

No, no! Now is not the time to worry about these things.

Ning Xuchen quickly used his spiritual energy to hold the back of Lu Yingqiu's neck, who was unconscious. Then he placed the bowl of medicine on Lu Yingqiu's cherry lips. With a jolt of his spiritual energy, Lu Yingqiu's lips parted slightly.

Glug glug—

The prepared medicine was consumed by Lu Yingqiu in no time.

Ning Xuchen, panting heavily, carefully placed Lu Yingqiu back on the soft bed, and then nervously inquired about his master's condition.

Upon investigation, he was surprised to find that the putrefied poison in his master's body had suddenly weakened, and even the poison that was about to rush down his throat into his brain had been suppressed!

The medicine was surprisingly effective!

At that moment, Ye Yuchan coughed and tentatively asked, "Um, how is your master? Is the medicine still effective?"

"Yes! The effect is even better than I expected!" Ning Xuchen was so excited he almost jumped up, and there were even a few glistening tears in the corners of his eyes: "That's great... at least I've made some difference..."

"But... I don't know why, is it because of poisoning? Master's face seems to be swollen."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yuchan quickly smiled apologetically, secretly pinching the young man's waist three times with her fair hand, but her gaze still returned to the unsuspecting Ning Xuchen: "It's probably because of the poison, we don't know what happened."

After speaking, he glared at Yunping beside him.

The old rogue helplessly spread his hands and explained to Ye Yuchan telepathically:

"There was nothing I could do. The putrefactive poison in that girl's body was almost rushing to her head. I could only slap her a few times to push the poison back down..."

Ye Yuchan responded by transmitting her voice – after all, they were both at the Void Transmission stage.

"I thought you'd have some kind of acupuncture treatment or some strange medical technique, but it turns out it's just slapping..."

"This is called physical therapy, what do you know?"

Ye Yuchan rolled her eyes, then glanced at Ning Xuchen, who was so excited he was almost in tears. She pursed her lips slightly and couldn't help but ask, "So if you have this ability, why don't you just get rid of all the poison?"

"If I just expel the poison directly, then all that effort this kid put into making the medicine will be wasted."

Yun Ping chuckled, leaned against the wall, stood next to Ye Yuchan, and stared at Ning Xuchen with a smile.

"No matter what, this kid is practically my grand-disciple, wouldn't you say?"

……

To prevent Ning Xuchen from feeling utterly useless, the poison wasn't completely expelled; instead, it was suppressed, and then Ning Xuchen personally prepared medicine to cure him…

This practice of killing people...

Ye Yuchan smiled and pinched Yunping's waist, teasingly saying, "You do look quite like a teacher."

"I am a teacher, okay?"

"A guy who left someone out there for over twenty years has no right to say such things."

Yunping smiled helplessly and rubbed Ye Yuchan's head: "Okay, okay, it's my fault. Your teacher was wrong."

"Humph."

Ye Yuchan snorted coldly, but unlike before, she did not shake off Yunping's hand.

Instead, she blushed, remained silent, and said nothing.

5. Intelligence.

Lu Yingqiu woke up faster than expected.

Perhaps it was because she was in good health, or perhaps Ning Xuchen's medicine did have a significant effect, but in just half a day, this renowned doctor from Broken Wood City woke up with his pain slightly relieved.

During this half-day, Yunping and Ye Yuchan strolled around the entire Broken Wood City.

Broken Wood City was originally an extremely ordinary city in the Lantian Empire. Its fame was even less than that of Jinglin City or Maple Leaf City. Because the surrounding environment was almost a desert, there were few carriages and horses, the transportation was inconvenient, and merchants rarely came and went. The population in the city was pitifully small.

This is why entertainment buildings such as taverns and teahouses, which are common in other city-states, are almost non-existent in Splinterwood City. In addition, with the current chaos of war and the invasion of the Demon Dynasty, the streets of Splinterwood City are deserted, and the city seems to be shrouded in a dark aura of death.

Moreover, Ye Yuchan and Yunping also discovered that most of the inns were filled with medicinal herbs for healing injuries, and occasionally some magical artifacts for exorcising evil spirits were also placed there. A few shops had a large number of golden talismans with profound Buddhist inscriptions pasted on their doors, as if they were constantly on guard against the invasion of demons.

Throughout the city... there was an extremely oppressive sense of panic.

Even the guards of the city lord's mansion, which symbolizes the only fighting force of Broken Wood City, were mostly covered in wounds of varying severity. Some even had half of their legs wrapped in white cloth, yet they still stood firm at their posts.

Even the wounded guards are being used to guard the city lord's mansion... This shows that the entire city probably has no healthy fighting force left.

This is why Lu Yingqiu and Ning Xuchen, these two physicians, are so respected in Broken Wood City.

Without them, perhaps most of the people in the city would have died from the demonic invasion. Let alone building those towering city walls, Broken Wood City would probably have long since become another dead zone under the Demon Dynasty.

"The Demon Dynasty..."

Walking back to the cabin, looking at the dim candlelight and the tightly closed doors and windows beside her, Ye Yuchan sighed, "Old rogue, have you thought about how to deal with this Demon Dynasty?"

She didn't think Yunping would turn a blind eye and stand idly by.

Putting aside the fact that the founding ancestor of the Lantian Empire had a life-and-death friendship with him, the sheer number of bloodthirsty demonic cultivators in the Demon Dynasty alone had already violated Yun Ping's code of conduct.

It should be known that both the Martial Emperor and the Civil Emperor in the past had repeatedly cracked down on evil sects and heretics. Such beings who disrupted the order of the three great heavens were always despised by the people of the world.

To this, Yunping simply replied calmly, "The Demon Dynasty definitely needs to be dealt with, but now is not the time..."

"Firstly, we don't know where the others are right now, and their safety is still uncertain."

"Secondly, if we directly destroy the Demon Dynasty, the effect may not be as good as we imagine."

Ye Yuchan heard the first point clearly.

The second point Yunping made made Ye Yuchan think.

Her gaze fell on a woman with disheveled hair in the distance, wrapped in an ochre cloak, holding a young child in her arms and carefully feeding him bread. A hint of pity flickered in her eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Are you worried that if you directly destroy the Demon Dynasty... you won't be able to deal with the remaining followers?"

"Pretty much. Besides, there are so many demonic cultivators in the world. Even if you destroy one demonic dynasty, another will emerge. You can never kill all of these people. You can only deter them."

"But simply destroying the Demon Dynasty isn't enough to have a deterrent effect."

"If we really want to completely suppress the demonic cultivators of the three heavenly domains, we can only wait for an opportunity to launch a major attack in front of everyone in the three heavenly domains."

At this point, Yunping looked up at the dark sky, as if trying to see through it to some being, and murmured softly, "However, when that opportunity will come is anyone's guess."

The words had barely left his lips.

The two had already returned to the wooden house where Lu Yingqiu and Ning Xuchen had been.

Before Ye Yuchan could even push the door open, she seemed to sense something and took a step back.

The next second, the wooden door was slammed open from the inside out.

"Master, you're not feeling well right now...you can't move around too much!"

The girl with long, flowing blue hair was dragged away by the anxious Ning Xuchen, and walked out without looking back.

A hint of pain appeared on that young face, turning deathly pale, but her eyes remained resolute: "No... I still have many patients to save, and if I don't save them now, it will be too late..."

"division……"

As Ning Xuchen was contemplating whether to use brute force to drag his master back to rest, he caught a glimpse of Yun Ping and Ye Yuchan out of the corner of his eye.

At the same time, Lu Yingqiu, noticing two figures ahead, also stopped unconsciously.

Her wary and suspicious gaze swept back and forth between the two men. She took a small step back and spoke in a heavy and cautious tone: "Who are you people?"

“Master…” Before Yunping could answer, Ning Xuchen stepped forward to stop Lu Yingqiu and said, “These two are my saviors. They brought me out of that deadly place.”

"It's you..."

The wariness in Lu Yingqiu's eyes slowly disappeared, but a few lingering doubts remained.

Even so, her expression relaxed considerably, and her gaze shifted several times before finally settling on Ye Yuchan.

She took a deep breath, her voice filled with gratitude: "Thank you... for saving Chen'er's life, and for saving mine as well."

"No, no, it's my duty, it's my duty~"

Ye Yuchan waved her hand and looked at Lu Yingqiu with a smile.

Lu Yingqiu was a little confused by that smile. After that, she seemed to remember something and looked at Ye Yuchan with a surprised expression, her gaze first falling on her clothes.

"Black and white robes, silver hair... Miss, your magical artifact... is it a longbow?"

"Huh? You mean this?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yuchan summoned the magical artifact Black Rain from her storage ring.
