A light rain pattered down and quickly turned into a torrential downpour. A group of around twenty people were walking quickly within the forest. The one leading them was a beautiful lady wearing a pale-green dress. There were quite a number of guards beside her. At this moment, the edge of her dress had already been dirtied by the muddy ground. She looked a little miserable, but it did not affect her somewhat tranquil demeanor.
The lady's crisp voice could be heard: "Everyone, find a place to take shelter from the rain. We'll stop for a while."
"There's a big tree over there. Everyone, go down there and set up a tent so that the young miss can take shelter from the rain." A man who looked like the captain of the guards waved his hand and gave instructions.
The crowd was quickly mobilized as they charged towards the large tree. A tent component appeared in their hands out of thin air. Each of them had a storage ring on their hands. Clearly, they were all martial artists.
"Eh, young miss, captain, there's a corpse here!" A warrior shouted.
Hearing the shout, the lady could not help but turn around. She lifted her dress and quickly walked over, saying: "Let me take a look."
The captain and the other guards hurriedly followed. Soon, they saw the "corpse" on the ground. It was a young man. His face could not be seen clearly. He was wearing a white robe, but it was stained with mud. It seemed that he had been dead for some time. If Chen Xiaohan and the others were here, they would discover that this man was Lu Xuan, who had escaped from the Mysterious Ice Pavilion!
"Everyone be careful. Since someone died here, there might be a Demonic Beast." The captain of the guards reminded.
The lady in green shook her head: "There are no wounds on his body. It shouldn't be the work of a Demonic Beast."
After speaking, she squatted down and wanted to check the cause of Lu Xuan's death.
The guard hurriedly stopped her: "Young miss, don't dirty your hands. If you can't stand it, I'll find a few brothers to bury him."
The lady in green smiled sweetly: "Who in our Hundred Herb Hall doesn't deal with the injured and the dead? There's no need to care about such things."
Speaking up to here, she suddenly exclaimed in surprise. It was because she had touched Lu Xuan's chest, and she actually discovered that there was still a faint trace of his heartbeat!
"He doesn't seem to be dead yet!" The green-robed woman said in astonishment. Then, she quickly stretched out her hand to check Lu Xuan's pulse and breathing. Sure enough, although it was very weak, it was still there. Moreover, although his pulse was beating very slowly, each beat was extremely strong. It seemed that his cultivation was not low.
"Quick, help him into the tent. He's not dead yet, he can still be saved," the green-robed woman quickly ordered.
The guard captain revealed a troubled expression and said, "Miss, this person's origins are unknown. I think it's better if we don't meddle in other people's business."
Hearing this, the green-clothed woman was a little displeased. She lightly reprimanded: "Saving the dying and helping the injured has always been the responsibility of our Hundred Herb Hall. How can we just stand by and watch someone die? Hurry and do as I say. "
The guard captain had no choice but to call for a few of his brothers to carry this half-dead fellow into the tent. The green-clothed woman also entered the tent. Her expression was a little solemn as she helped to check Lu Xuan's pulse. She appeared to be extremely cautious. She was the granddaughter of the Hundred Herb Hall's leader. Her ability to heal and save people was deeply inherited from her grandfather.
Seeing that the Miss really wanted to save this person, the guard captain had no choice but to stay by her side. If this person made any strange movements, he would definitely kill him with a single stroke of his sword to ensure the Miss' safety.
The green-clothed woman frowned slightly and muttered to herself: "His meridians seem to be injured, and it's not a small injury at that. It's as if someone had used a strong force to directly attack his body, intending to directly shatter all his meridians. But I don't know why he's not dead yet. What's even stranger is that his regenerative abilities are extremely strong. Even with such heavy injuries, he's still able to maintain a trace of life."
"Can he still be saved?" The guard captain couldn't help but ask. He wasn't a cold-blooded person, he was just worried that this man would harm the Miss.
"If it was a normal person, I'm afraid that there's no way to save him. But his blood and qi are vigorous and his regenerative abilities are quite strong. As long as he's given a little help, he should be able to recover on his own." The green-clothed woman nodded. After thinking for a moment, she took out a medicinal pill from her Storage Ring.
Seeing this medicinal pill, the guard captain was shocked. Since he was a guard of the Hundred Herb Hall, of course he was very familiar with medicinal pills. With one look, he could tell that this was a Alioth Moisturizing Pill. It was mainly used to treat meridian injuries. It was a Human Tier Ninth Rank medicinal pill and could be said to be exceptionally rare.
"Miss, you absolutely can't. How can you use this kind of medicinal pill to save a complete stranger? We don't even know if he's a friend or foe." The guard captain hurriedly tried to dissuade her.
However, the green-clothed woman retorted: "No matter how good a medicinal pill is, isn't it used to treat illnesses and save people? One medicinal pill can save a person's life. No matter how you look at it, it's worth it. "
The guard captain smiled bitterly again. The Miss really didn't know much about the world. Who could easily take out a Human Tier Ninth Rank medicinal pill? Perhaps only someone like the Miss could casually use it to save people. More importantly, they still didn't know who this fellow was.
In this short period of time, the green-clothed woman had already gently pinched open Lu Xuan's lips and placed the Alioth Moisturizing Pill into Lu Xuan's mouth. Then, she sent a strand of Yuan energy into his body to help him swallow the medicinal pill.
Once the medicinal pill entered Lu Xuan's body, the Taiyi Return to Origin Technique in his body began to automatically and slowly circulate, digesting the medicinal effects of the medicinal pill. The green-clothed woman carefully examined him and was even more shocked. This medicinal pill of hers seemed to have acted as a catalyst. Lu Xuan's vitality, which seemed rather weak just a moment ago, immediately began to glow with a trace of vitality. The Yuan energy in his body began to unceasingly and automatically generate, rapidly repairing the damaged meridians.
Lu Xuan was a person with the Azure Dragon and Ice Phoenix bloodlines. Furthermore, he had activated the recovery ability of the Azure Dragon bloodline. In addition, with the help of the Divine Marks of Yi Wood and Ninth-Water, his recovery ability was strong. How could an ordinary person compare to him?
"Miss, the person has been saved and the medicinal pill has been fed. I think we should wait for the rain to lighten up a little before we set off as soon as possible. There's not much time left until the hall master's birthday. As for this person, just leave him in this tent. Miss, you've already done your best, "the guard captain advised.
"In this forest, demonic beasts may appear at any time. When the time comes, just send a few people to bring him along. We'll talk about it when he wakes up." The green-clothed woman was rather kind-hearted. Even though she had already saved Lu Xuan, she was still worried that he would become food for the demonic beasts.
Seeing that the guard captain still wanted to persuade her, the green-clothed woman could only helplessly say: "Alright, alright. Let's wait for the rain to stop. I think his condition is not bad. Maybe he can wake up before we leave."
When the guard captain heard this, he couldn't help but think in his heart: "It's best if he doesn't wake up. Otherwise, if an accident happens, it will be too late for regrets. Ai, Miss is still too kind."
