164 Healing
Moreover, after hearing about that incident in the palace, Nie Yin’s desire to come to Spirit Mountain to search for treasures became even stronger.
No matter what, he had to find that treasure for the Nie family!
Nie Yin had his own plans, but he didn’t know that he had already become a part of Chao Bai’s scheme.
Chao Bai led them up the mountain on a path they had never taken before.
Along the way, the rocks were rugged and the plants were flourishing. Even Nie Yin found it very difficult to walk forward.
The guards behind him were either scratched by rocks or cut by plants.
Those wounds would quickly swell and burn, making the team’s progress even slower.
Nie Yin had brought some ointment to treat external injuries, but it was useless against these injuries.
He grabbed Chao Bai’s collar and questioned coldly, “What’s going on?”
“We’ve been to Spirit Mountain a few times, but we’ve never been here! Where are you taking us?!”
Chao Bai spread his hands out helplessly. “The two of us have always traveled to Spirit Mountain from here. If you know other pathways, since we don’t know them, why don’t you lead the way?!”
Hearing Chao Bai’s words, Nie Yin frowned, but he still let go of Chao Bai’s collar angrily.
They had gone to Spirit Mountain a few times but found nothing. That was why they made the siblings lead the way.
Although the path they had led was rugged, it was indeed a place they had never been to before. Perhaps they could really find what they wanted!
At this moment, Kong Rui walked forward and handed him a small porcelain bottle with both hands. “Sir, I have some pills here that can treat these injuries. Get your subordinates to take them. The symptoms will ease soon.”
Hearing Kong Rui’s words, Nie Yin showed a look of distrust.
As Nie Yin’s subordinate scratched the wound on his face, he said to Nie Yin, “Master! We’re fine! It’s fine if we don’t eat this pill!”
When he saw that the person’s face was already covered in red marks, even more terrifying than the wound itself, Nie Yin’s expression became even uglier.
He grabbed the porcelain bottle in Kong Rui’s hand and said coldly, “If there’s anything wrong with this pill, I’ll immediately kill you two!”
Kong Rui chuckled and bowed slightly. “Don’t worry, Sir. This pill will definitely be useful!”
When Chao Bai saw that Kong Rui had actually given the bottle of pills she had plundered from him to Nie Yin, he instantly became angry and quickened his pace.
Seeing that Chao Bai actually left angrily, Nie Yin guessed that the brother probably didn’t want to treat them, so he believed Kong Rui’s words even more.
Seeing this, Kong Rui smirked.
She didn’t expect that taking something from Chao Bai would anger him and have such an unexpected effect.
Nie Yin instructed his subordinates to distribute the pills in the porcelain bottle. As expected, the wounds on those people’s bodies no longer hurt. However, there were marks on the places where they had scratched previously and they felt a little uncomfortable.
These situations were normal, especially for cultivators like them.
Therefore, the group advanced towards the forest in front of them even faster.
This time, the guards paid special attention to the rocks and plants around them. Because Kong Rui had given them healing medicine, they trusted her even more.
The gazes that were fixed on Kong Rui and Chao Bai were no longer as wary as before.
Kong Rui sent a voice transmission with her divine sense and continued to ask about Chao Bai’s plan. “What are your plans? We’re about to enter the hinterland of Spirit Mountain!”
Chao Bai snorted and said, “I thought you would help these people enter Spirit Mountain!”
When Kong Rui heard Chao Bai’s resentful words, she immediately felt amused.
At times, this person was mature and cunning, but at other times, he was as immature as a child!
