As the saying goes, speed is of the essence in war. While Elder Nan Gong was waiting anxiously, the disciple of the Profound Cloud Sect only spent one day to reach the Liuxian County where the Burning Sky Faction was located.
Relying on the powerful network of the Profound Cloud Sect, he quickly found out that Gong Ruitong had indeed gone berserk during cultivation, causing her blood to flow in reverse, causing her meridians to be broken and becoming a cripple.
Furthermore, there were a lot of witnesses, so it could not be faked. This was because Gong Ruitong had specially found many doctors to diagnose him. However, everyone's conclusion was that his injuries were too serious and could not be cured. It was estimated that he would not be able to stand up again in this lifetime!
After the Yun Xuan Sect disciple asked all kinds of people in the Liuxian County, he had a rough idea in his heart. He then turned around and snuck into the Burning Sky Faction silently.
However, after entering the Burning Sky Faction, the scene that he saw made him endlessly shocked. He saw Gong Ruitong in the plaza giving guidance to the disciples' cultivation in high spirits, walking here and there with large strides. His figure was extremely nimble, and he didn't look like someone who would be permanently disabled!
The Yun Xuan Sect disciple looked at the scene in front of him in shock. He could not believe his eyes. When he came back to his senses, he finally remembered Elder Nan Gong's instructions. He hurriedly left the Burning Sky Faction and returned to the inn where he was staying.
After returning to the inn, the Yun Xuan Sect disciple did not even have time to stick his butt to the chair. He immediately took out the Sound Transmitting Amulet to contact Elder Nan Gong and reported everything in detail.
Elder Nan Gong, who had not slept for the whole night, listened to his subordinate's report. He did not know whether he was surprised or happy. He stood there in a daze for a while before grabbing the list of medicinal ingredients that Xiao Chen had asked for. He turned around and walked towards the direction of the medicine room.
Elder Nan Gong's position in the Yun Xuan Sect was originally very high. In addition, he was also healing himself. Therefore, when he asked for all kinds of strange medicinal ingredients, the disciple in charge of the medicine room did not suspect much. After letting him simply register, he obediently handed over all the medicinal ingredients with both hands.
After receiving the medicinal ingredients, Elder Nan Gong did not say much to the others. He directly left the mountain gate and went straight to the inn that Xiao Chen had mentioned before in the Yaoxian County.
"Dong dong dong!"
At this very moment, Xiao Chen was leisurely waiting in the inn for Elder Nangong to deliver the herbs to him. When he heard the knocking on the door, he first spread out his spiritual sense to check the surroundings. After confirming that the visitor was indeed Elder Nangong and that there were no other suspicious people lying in ambush nearby, he nodded to Hong Zhu and opened the door with his spiritual sense.
"Hehe, that … Exalted Immortal Xiao, Miss Hong, good morning!" When Elder Nan Gong saw the door open by itself, he panicked a little. He quickly put on a smiling face and tiptoed into the room. He closed the door gently and respectfully greeted the two of them. He conveniently placed the bundle in his hand on the table.
"You came? Have you brought all the heavenly treasures that I've told you about? "Xiao Chen glanced at Elder Nangong indifferently and asked unhurriedly.
"I've brought them, I've brought them!" Elder Nan Gong immediately answered. He then carefully opened the bundle on the table and carefully took out every single heavenly treasure and piled them on the table. He did not forget to introduce them one by one. "Look, this is the Flaming Mist Lotus, that is the Tranquilizing Demon Emperor Flower, and this is the Blood Lingzhi Star Leaf Grass …"
Not long after, the medicinal ingredients that Elder Nan Gong brought filled the entire table. He only stopped when he had taken out all the heavenly treasures from the bundle. He said with a humble expression, "Exalted Immortal Xiao, the medicinal ingredients that you've asked me to bring are all here. They have all been lost. You can count them yourself. There shouldn't be any mistakes."
"There's no need for that. I still have some trust in you. Since you said there's no mistake, then there's definitely no mistake!" Xiao Chen waved his hand casually. He did not even look at the dazzling array of heavenly treasures on the table. He said lazily, "Alright, there's nothing else for you to do. You can go back first!"
Elder Nan Gong was taken aback. He did not leave immediately. Instead, he awkwardly rubbed his hands together and squeezed out a smile. He asked weakly, "Uh … Exalted Immortal Xiao, didn't you say that as long as I have the medicinal ingredients that you need, you will heal my injuries? Since I've brought all these things for you, do you think … "
"What's the hurry? In any case, you won't die for a while. " Xiao Chen glared at Elder Nan Gong. He stood up and walked to the table. He quickly put away the heavenly treasures and put them into his own bag as if nothing had happened.
"Ah? But this … that … "Elder Nan Gong was a little dumbfounded. Looking at Xiao Chen's attitude, could it be that he was going to turn his back on him after he had obtained the heavenly treasures? Now that he had lost his cultivation, there was nothing he could do even if Xiao Chen wanted to renege on his promise!
Xiao Chen did not care too much about Elder Nan Gong's thoughts. He just wanted to try out the heavenly treasures and see if they were useful. If the medicinal effects were insufficient or if there were any problems, he could ask Elder Nan Gong to bring more over.
However, when Xiao Chen turned his head and saw that Elder Nan Gong was about to cry, he could only shake his head helplessly and explain, "What are you thinking about? Won't I need time to brew the medicine for you? Just wait obediently. I'll finish brewing the medicine for you later. Wait … three days later, you can come back to get it! "
"This … Alright! Then I'll wait for your good news! "Elder Nan Gong's heart relaxed slightly. He forced a smile and nodded in agreement.
Elder Nan Gong originally thought that after handing over all the heavenly treasures to Xiao Chen, he would be able to help him heal. He did not expect that he would have to wait for a few more days.
Although it had been delayed for a few days, at least Xiao Chen had given him a definite answer. It was not like what Elder Nan Gong thought that Xiao Chen would burn the bridge after crossing it.
Right now, Elder Nan Gong could only choose to leave first. After all, his fate was still in the hands of Xiao Chen. No matter what Xiao Chen said, he had to do as he was told. There was no room for negotiation.
However, Elder Nan Gong did not directly return to the Xuan Yun Sect. After leaving Xiao Chen's room, he immediately went to the innkeeper of the inn. He also booked a room in the inn. He planned to go to Xiao Chen's place as soon as possible in three days, so that he would not have to make a trip to the Xuan Yun Sect.
Elder Nan Gong's actions were clearly seen by Xiao Chen through the Divine Sense Imprint. However, he was too lazy to care about this old man's thoughts. If he wanted to wait, then wait!
