"Madam, we're back!"
As soon as they entered the backyard of the inn, Zi Ling and the other three hurriedly carried the stretcher in.
There were already many people gathered in the small courtyard, packing their things and preparing to leave. When they saw four people carrying a stretcher, they were all stunned.
A woman's voice came from inside, "I was just about to crush the jade tablet to summon you back. It's almost our turn. We're back at the right time."
The door of the room creaked open and a beautiful woman walked out. She frowned and asked, "What is this?"
Zi Ling blushed and quickly said, "Madam, we were picking hyacinths in the mountains when we suddenly saw someone fainting in the mountains, so … so we saved him."
A trace of anger flashed across the beautiful woman's face and she reprimanded, "This is not our Tian Ling City. How many times have I told you not to cause trouble? Are you ignoring my words?"
Zi Ling and the other three panicked and knelt down to admit their mistake.
This beautiful woman was the manager of the Ink Feather Chamber of Commerce. She called her Madam and had great power.
The president of the Chamber of Commerce died in an accident many years ago. The entire Chamber of Commerce was shouldered by her alone.
The beautiful woman reprimanded, "Hong Yue City is one of the seven superpowers in the world. Now is a troubled time. Offending anyone can cause us to fall into eternal damnation. The four of you are getting bolder and bolder. It's been a long time since you've remembered the taste of punishment!"
When the four women heard this, their faces turned pale and their bodies trembled. They kowtowed desperately and begged for mercy.
"Mother, you don't have to blame them too much. After all, they did it out of kindness."
A man in white walked out of the small courtyard. He was steady and powerful. His body faintly revealed the fluctuation of Yuan Qi. He was obviously an expert.
When the Madam saw her beloved son, her heart immediately softened. She said softly, "Zizi, you only know how to cultivate. How would you know the dangers of the world? Moreover, this is Hong Yue City. There are many experts in the world and it's a troubled time. I've been worried for the past few days. I can't wait to fly back to Tian Ling City."
Her son Di chuckled, "Mother, you worry too much. How can there be so many dangers in the world?"
He glanced at the ugly person on the stretcher and said in surprise, "Hey, this person's injury is so strange. The upper half of his head is almost swollen, and there are signs of ulceration. Is he poisoned?"
Madam Ji was also somewhat shocked when she saw this. She said, "It is possible that he used a skill similar to Demon Transformation, so he suffered a backlash from his Cultivation Technique. Let's leave Red Moon City first. If we miss our number, we will have to draw a new card."
Ji Zizi nodded and said, "Let's go first. This person's injuries are too heavy. If we want to save him, we'll probably have to meet up with Uncle Nan and the others. Uncle Nan has the strength of a Tier 7 Alchemist. Treating this person should be easy."
His wife laughed and said, "You really dare to speak? Letting Uncle Nan, a dignified Tier 7 Alchemist, take action, isn't it too childish? "
Everyone chatted and laughed as they walked out of the inn.
Zi Ling and the others secretly heaved a sigh of relief and broke out in a cold sweat. If Madam was angry, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The other three women all glared at her, revealing a look of reproach. Zi Ling laughed bitterly and could only repeatedly signal with her eyes to express her apology.
Naturally, the ugly person did not need the four women to carry him. There were warriors in the family to help carry him. A group of more than 20 people headed towards the teleportation area.
Along the way, everyone chatted and laughed. It was obvious that they were about to leave Red Moon City and were in an extremely good mood.
Ji Zizi said, "This trip to the end of the world has indeed been fruitful. When we return, I will go into seclusion and strive to break through to Seven Star Martial Venerable."
Madam Ji was pleasantly surprised and said excitedly, "If you can break through to Seven Star Martial Venerable, then you will be an existence of a high-level Martial Venerable. Then, our position in Heaven Spirit City will be stable!"
Madam Ji cried tears of joy. She could not help but be a little emotional as she held her son's hand.
Ji Zizi smiled and said, "Mother, don't be too happy too early. I am just fighting for it."
Madam Ji said, "In short, you are mother's pride. With your talent, it will definitely not be a problem."
When the group of people heard that Ji Zizi was about to break through to a high-level Martial Venerable, they were all overjoyed. As the saying goes, when a man achieves the Dao, even his chickens and dogs rise to the heavens. When the master became stronger, they, as servants, also felt that their status increased.
There was still a long queue at the teleportation area. They were all teleported by number and the checks on all the people were very strict. It seemed like they were looking for someone.
Under the strict control of the imperial guards, no one dared to make a sound. The atmosphere was very solemn.
The queue continued to move forward. After waiting for a while, it was finally the turn of the people from the Ink Feather Merchant Guild.
The person in charge of the inspection was a skinny middle-aged man. When he saw the ugly person on the stretcher, he was shocked and shouted, "Wow, is this a ghost?!"
Madam Ji hurriedly said, "This is a patient from our merchant guild. His face was poisoned, that's why he became like this."
The skinny man's eyes revealed a suspicious look. He snorted and then dared to look at the person on the stretcher again. He frowned and said to himself, "Eh, other than the head that looks like a ghost, why does it feel like there is …"
"What is there? Why are you still not letting us through? There are so many people waiting in line!"
Just as the skinny man was feeling suspicious, there was a sudden shout that caused him to jump up. He saw Zhu Jingyi glaring at him angrily and shouted, "This madam is my friend. Are you trying to extort a bamboo pole?"
The skinny man was startled. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Elder Brother Zhu must be joking. How would I dare? So it is one of us. Madam, please, please!"
His wife revealed a stunned expression as she sized up Zhu Jingyi. She didn't have any impression of such a fatty. After managing the merchant guild for so many years, she had seen all sorts of people. It was normal for her to forget. However, with Zhu Jingyi's physique, it was impossible for him to not have any impression of him.
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and move!"
Zhu Jingyi waved his hand impatiently and said to the back of the line, "Everyone, follow me. Hurry up!"
Madam Ji no longer hesitated and went forward. After she handed over the Essence Stones, she entered the large formation.
Soon, a teleportation light lit up and everyone from the Ink Feather Merchant Guild disappeared from Hong Yue City.
Only then did Zhu Jingyi turn his head back. An indescribable joy flashed in his eyes. He ignored the teleportation and ran into the city.
Heaven Spirit City was one of the cities in the Eastern Region. However, it was not the main city. One had to go through Long Valley City to get there.
Long Valley City was one of the main cities in the Eastern Region. The Ink Feather Merchant Guild had also opened a branch here. Madam Ji's plan was to wait for her son to become a high-ranked Martial Saint before moving their headquarters to Long Valley City. After all, with the strength of a high-ranked Martial Saint, they would have a foothold in Long Valley City.
"Haha, Madam Ji, Zizi, you made me wait for a long time!"
The people from the Ink Feather Merchant Guild quickly arrived at their branch. Immediately, an old man with white hair and a ruddy complexion walked out and laughed heartily.
Without waiting for Madam Ji to speak, Zizi went forward and greeted, "Uncle Nan!"
Only then did Madam Ji smile and say, "Uncle Nan, you do not know our hardships. You Alchemists have special privileges to cut the queue for teleportation. However, we have to wait for a number."
Zizi quickly said, "Uncle Nan, come and take a look. This is a cultivator we met on the way here. I do not know how he got injured. Can you save his life?"
Madam Ji reprimanded, "This child is really insensible. Who is Uncle Nan? How can you make a move so casually? Let the few Alchemists from our Merchant Guild take a look."
"It's fine."
Uncle Nan twirled his beard and smiled. He also saw the stretcher on the back of the crowd.
The few cultivators hurriedly carried the stretcher to the backyard of the Merchant Guild. Uncle Nan started to extend his Spiritual Sense and check on the ugly man. Everyone waited quietly.
At first, Uncle Nan was just curious. However, as he continued to check, his expression started to turn strange. Then, he became doubtful. Then, his expression turned grave. Finally, he was stunned and at a loss.
Madam Ji and the rest watched quietly at the side, not daring to disturb him. When they saw the change in Uncle Nan's expression, they all felt that it was strange.
"What is wrong with this person?"
After a long time, Uncle Nan finally opened his mouth and asked. His tone was extremely solemn.
Zi Ling hurriedly said, "We found him when we were picking hyacinths outside the Purple Cloud Peak of Red Moon City. When we found him, he was already like this. He must have been injured until the end of time."
Uncle Nan suddenly said, "So he was injured until the end of time. No wonder he is so strange. This person seems to be dead but not dead. He is alive but not alive. I have never seen such a situation before. I am afraid I cannot help him. "
"What? Even Uncle Nan can't do anything? "
This time, even Madam Ji was surprised. Uncle Nan was a peak Seventh Rank Alchemist. In her eyes, he was almost omnipotent. Unexpectedly, even he could not do anything.
Uncle Nan said, "Generally, there are many reasons for falling into this state of suspended animation. However, in most cases, one can only rely on their own will to survive. If Madam wants to help him, you can only give him a Five Elements Return Pill. Maybe it will slightly increase his chance of survival. "
Madam Ji's expression changed. She said decisively, "Forget it. We don't know this person. How can we waste a Five Elements Return Pill? It is an Eighth Rank Spiritual Medicine. It is worth tens of thousands of gold."
She glanced at Zi Ling and said, "This person was brought back by the four of you. The four of you will deal with him."
The four maids were stunned for a moment. How could they deal with such a person who was neither alive nor dead?
One of the cultivators secretly said, "Move him outside the city and find a place to throw him away."
Zi Ling's face was a little pale. She shook her head slightly.
The other two maids also did not want to interfere. In the end, only Bai Yi was willing to help. The two of them carried the person into the woodshed and temporarily placed him there.
The woodshed was very simple. One night, moonlight shone in and shone on the ugly person.
The ugly person's body seemed to have changed slightly. If one looked closely, they would find that his body began to have a faint golden light. His skin seemed to have a soft white light. When the moonlight shone on his body, it seemed to be directly absorbed.
