Upon seeing Jiang Xiaobai, everyone was stunned, especially Li Muzhou, whose face was full of disbelief. He couldn’t believe his ears.
“Young man, do you truly know a way to save Qingzhou’s life?” asked Li Muzhou hurriedly, his eyes full of eagerness.
Jiang Xiaobai smiled lightly and nodded as he walked into the courtyard, “Naturally.”
At that moment, Li Muzhou felt he was yanked out from the deepest pit of despair, feeling like he was riding a roller coaster.
“It’s wonderful, Qingzhou can be saved!” Li Muzhou exclaimed in excitement, eager to approach.
Just then, Taoist Changfeng suddenly stopped in front of Jiang Xiaobai, a cold smile on his face.
“Arrogant, do you know what you’re talking about?”
Taoist Changfeng scoffed, “That girl has been completely taken over by evil energy, even her heart channels are filled with it. As a beginner at Qi refining, you dare to speak so boastfully?”
“What you cannot do, does not mean I cannot do.”
Jiang Xiaobai said calmly, “As you mentioned, the situation can be resolved with the right herbal remedy.”
“Nonsense. What medicine could you possibly have at your level of Qi refining?
Even I don’t have access to such a remedy!”
Taoist Changfeng huffed, “Get lost and stop wasting everyone’s time.” After mocking Jiang Xiaobai, the Taoist then turned to Li Muzhou.
“Master Li, you shouldn’t be so desperate as to trust any physician who comes along. This boy is just a beginner at Qi refining. He certainly cannot produce any top-grade herbal remedies. I believe he heard the news and specifically came to deceive you.”
For a moment, Li Muzhou was stunned, unsure what to choose.
He was already in complete despair, now a glimmer of hope appeared from the abyss. Regardless of whether it would work, he had to try.
But when he thought about Taoist Changfeng, a well-respected immortal within a thousand miles, his words made sense too.
Li Muzhou weighed both sides in his mind. Eventually, his love for his daughter overpowered his rationality.
“Taoist Changfeng, my daughter is critically ill. Regardless of whether this young man has a cure, I have to let him try. Otherwise, I’ll fail my helpless daughter!”
Li Muzhou said with red eyes, “Besides, my daughter is already at death’s door. Even if this young man cannot cure her, I’ll have to accept it!”
Hearing this, Taoist Changfeng’s face showed a grudging expression. He firmly didn’t believe that Jiang Xiaobai had the ability. But if he object now, fear that he would get a bad reputation.
“Hmph, I’ve said all that needs to be said. If you still don’t believe and want to waste your effort, be my guest. But the greater your hope, the greater your
disappointment. Don’t blame me for not warning you.” Taoist Changfeng
waved his hand and huffed.
Although this disdainful attitude was quite irritating, Li Muzhou didn’t say anything. Instead, he looked at Jiang Xiaobai pleadingly.
“Young man, if you really can cure my daughter, I’ll agree to any conditions you ask, even if it means being your servant!” Li Muzhou was almost kneeling in front of Jiang Xiaobai.
Jiang Xiaobai kept his calm and reassured him, “Don’t worry, your daughter will be fine.’
“Humph, ignorant boy, do you really think that any random pill can cure her? In such a situation, only top-grade pills can have an effect; otherwise, it would be in vain.”
Taoist Changfeng scoffed.
He couldn’t stop Li Muzhou, but it didn’t mean he couldn’t mock Jiang Xiaobai. He believed Jiang Xiaobai was just showing off to the crowd.
Regarding the old man’s mockery, Jiang Xiaobai chose to ignore it, walked to Li Qingzhou, and held her wrist.
In fact, he had known about her condition long ago. His actions were just for show. But, unexpectedly, her talent was extraordinarily good. She had a divine spiritual root!
“Is this a pleasant surprise?” Jiang Xiaobai chuckled in his heart.
After a short examination, a round pill appeared in his hand with a flip of his wrist.
“Young man, my daughter, she…”
“Be at ease, Master Li. As long as she consumes this pill, she will recover immediately.” Jiang Xiaobai said with a smile.
“Good, good, thank you, young friend. Thank you.” Li Muzhou was extremely excited. His eyes were glued to the pill in Jiang Xiaobai’s hands, waiting for him to feed it to Li Qingzhou.
At this time, the annoying voice rang again.
“Tch, boy, what’s this pill? How come I have never seen it before?” Taoist Changfeng sneered, “It seems like a rubbish pill made to cheat people. Is this fun for you?”
“Taoist Changfeng, this young man is just trying his best, why do you have to be so hostile?” Li Muzhou said unpleasantly.
Why did you have to interfere when others were trying to save my daughter’s life?
Jiang Xiaobai also narrowed his eyes. He had long wanted to scold this old man: “Old bastard, it’s me who can save people now. Since you, an early-stage foundation builder, are helpless, please stand aside.”
“If you don’t want to say anything, no one will take you as a mute. Or, do you not want Master Li’s daughter to recover?”
With his accusation, the atmosphere in the courtyard instantly changed. All of Master Li’s servants looked angrily at the Taoist.
They didn’t care who he was. All they knew was that they were expendable. If you dare to prevent their young lady from getting better, they would fight you till the end.
Even the nearby city lord, Sun Shouheng, couldn’t stand it anymore and suggested tactfully, “Taoist Changfeng, why not just let the young man have his way. He might really have a solution.”
All of a sudden, the face of Taoist Changfeng turned red. He was not against saving the girl. He just disliked a novice Qi refiner trying to teach him.
With no other options, Taoist Changfeng had to remain silent, yet his gloomy eyes clearly showed his dislike for Jiang Xiaobai. Probably he was planning how to kill him.
To this, Jiang Xiaobai naturally didn’t care. He could easily kill the early-stage Qi refiner.
Jiang Xiaobai didn’t waste any more time. The pill was something he had casually refined just now. Although it wasn’t a precious pill, it was easily capable of eliminating the evil energy.
Everyone watched as Li Qingzhou, with great effort, barely opened her mouth to contain the pill, but she didn’t even have the strength to swallow it.
Luckily, the pill dissolved as soon as it entered her mouth and quickly transformed into pure spiritual energy. Within seconds, it completely dissolved the evil energy in her body.
Thump!
Li Qingzhou suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood and then fell into a deep unconsciousness. The blood she spat corroded the ground, creating big holes where it splashed.
Witnessing this scene, everyone in the courtyard felt their hair standing on end..
