When Liu Ming finally found the girl in a broken wooden house in the city, the girl was already seriously ill and looked like she was on the verge of death.
If it weren't for a few kind-hearted beggars taking care of her, Uncle Qian's granddaughter would have passed away at such a young age.
Liu Ming was shocked and naturally tried his best to save her. However, he found that the girl was suffering from a strange disease that was rarely seen in the world. It continuously ate away at her life force as if she was suffering from tuberculosis.
Luckily, Liu Ming had learned a lot of remedies from people on Savage Island. In addition, he had a lot of Spirit Glyphs and pills on him. He was able to temporarily reverse the disease and barely prevent it from worsening. However, to completely cure it, he needed a rare Spirit Medicine.
Thus, he waited for Qian Ruping's condition to improve before he set fire to the houses of the uncles and uncles who had taken over Uncle Qian's son's property. He burned all of their property and left some gold and silver for the beggars who were taking care of the girl. Then, he took the girl and left her hometown, heading straight for Xuanjing.
Although the Spirit Medicine he was looking for was rare, with the size of Xuanjing, there was still hope for him to find it.
Moreover, there wasn't much time left until his term of office and he couldn't continue wandering outside of Xuanjing.
On the way here, he had used the Thousand Illusion Spirit Face to transform himself into his current appearance. At the same time, under the effects of the Bone Changing Technique, his figure was also shorter than before, causing his slightly tall figure to look no different from an ordinary person.
As for what to do after he cured Qian Ruping's strange disease, that was something he would consider later.
At the very least, during this period of time in Xuanjing, this girl would have to stay by his side.
Ever since Qian Ruping was saved by Liu Ming from her serious illness, she became abnormally dependent on this new "Brother Ming". For the first few days, she even had to grab onto Liu Ming's clothes to sleep. Only then would she be able to sleep peacefully. She had a pitiful look as if she was afraid that when she woke up the next day, "Brother Ming" would abandon her.
Liu Ming naturally took pity on this thin and weak girl who had a close relationship with Uncle Qian. Along the way, he fulfilled almost all of her small requests. Sometimes, he even cast some simple spells, causing her to giggle incessantly along the way.
In order to take care of Qian Ruping's body, he naturally couldn't use the Soaring Sky Technique to fly in the air. Instead, he had hired a carriage and personally drove the girl to Xuanjing.
However, Liu Ming didn't think that he would run into the Black Tiger Guards, who had chased him to the point where he had no way out of Xuanjing, and even put on an assassination show on the spot.
But just as he said at the beginning, if the dwarf hadn't suddenly attacked Qian Ruping, he really wouldn't have bothered to do anything.
After all, with just a glance, one could tell that this matter involved the powers within Xuanjing.
Before he had a clear understanding of the current situation in Xuanjing, he didn't want to reveal his identity as a Spirit Apostle.
Of course, the situation now was different.
Since he had already made his move, he decided to borrow Lady Mi's power and use the identity of a Loose Cultivator to sneak into Xuanjing.
According to what he knew, there were many Loose Cultivators that appeared in Xuanjing every year and under normal circumstances, they wouldn't attract any attention.
As for the strange poison that the boy had, naturally, it wasn't because of the black gas between his eyebrows. Instead, it was because his strong mental strength had scanned the boy's body and discovered the abnormality.
In order to maintain his mysteriousness, he casually said it.
At this time, the maid had already pulled out a silver needle from the boy's arm. In the end, the bottom half of the needle was completely black.
This caused Lady Mi to cry out in shock.
The maid hurriedly stuck the remaining glyphs in her hand onto the boy's body.
However, after the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the maid pulled out another silver needle. Seeing that the black color was still the same, her face finally became extremely ugly.
On the other hand, Lady Mi's face was full of fear. After a quick conversation with the maid, she took out a small delicate bottle and poured out a dark green pill for the boy to consume.
After a while, when he pulled out the silver needles, they were also jet-black. The two women became really anxious.
However, after they whispered a few more words, they pulled the boy and walked over to Liu Ming's side.
"Mister Qian, there is indeed a strange poison in my son's body. Aunt Hong and I have already tried our best, but we are unable to cure the poison. Since Mister can see through the poison, you must be able to cure it. I hope that Mister can save my son's life. "Once Lady Mi walked in front of Liu Ming, she pulled the boy's hand and was about to bow to him.
Seeing this, Liu Ming frowned. With a shake of his sleeve, an invisible force surged out.
Lady Mi, who was about to bow, immediately felt a huge force in front of her and she could no longer bow.
"Lady, there is no need to be so polite. Even though the poison is strong, it won't act up in a short amount of time. Even though I can cure it, it isn't something that can be done in a day. I need to use acupuncture to let out blood in order to slowly remove the poison. After all, your son is already deeply poisoned! "Liu Ming said unhurriedly.
"No problem. As long as there is an effect, what's the point of spending a bit more time? Can Mister begin to remove the poison now? "Hearing this, Lady Mi was overjoyed and spoke without hesitation.
"If that's the case, then I'll give it a try. However, I don't like other people watching when I use my technique. Lady and the others will need to leave for a while. "Liu Ming's gaze swept over the boy before calmly speaking.
"Leave! How does Mister need us to leave? "The maid didn't feel too surprised and instead asked carefully.
"Yes, you don't need to go anywhere. I can directly use a technique to isolate you." Liu Ming muttered to himself for a while before speaking with a smile. Then, he shook his sleeve again and a black mist rolled out. In a flash, it entered the black boy's body and disappeared.
The boy, who was originally staring at Liu Ming with his eyes wide open, suddenly turned over and fainted without a sound. However, as soon as his body fell, it was wrapped by an invisible force, and his body floated in the air.
This scene caused Lady Mi, who was naturally not prepared for it, to jump in fright. A worried expression appeared on her face as she wanted to say something. However, Aunt Hong, who was beside her, suddenly pulled on her sleeve. Only then did the words that came out of her mouth suddenly change.
"If that's the case, then I'll have to trouble Mister Qian to cast the technique. I'll wait here."
Liu Ming nodded his head and gave a few instructions to the girl beside him. Then, he beckoned with one hand and the boy flew to a corner of the temple.
With a sway of his body, he also appeared there like a ghost. Then, he made a hand sign with one hand, and a burst of black gas came out of his body. After rolling and condensing, it turned into a black mist that covered a radius of several tens of feet.
As a result, Lady Mi and Aunt Hong looked at each other and could only obediently wait where they were.
At this time, the girl with the surname Du finally finished interrogating the captives and walked over with large strides:
"Lady Mi, I've already interrogated them. These people are only bandits from a nearby village. A few days ago, they were taken in as subordinates by those practitioners and forced to attack us. Not only do they not know who we are, they don't even know where those practitioners came from. "The girl said coldly to Lady Mi.
"Lieutenant Du, this is not strange. Our Hundred Spirit House only has a few business competitors. Other than them, who else would send people to attack us. However, I didn't think that they would make a move so close to Xuanjing. Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent the Ba brothers back to Xuanjing a few days ago. "Hearing this, Lady Mi's eyes flashed fiercely as she gritted her teeth and spoke.
"If that's the case, then I won't keep these two captives. In order to prevent any accidents, I'll split the people into two groups to guard the area. To prevent any accidents from happening again! "Hearing this, the girl with the surname Du thought for a while before replying.
"Alright, everything will be as you say. Sister, you've worked hard for a night. You should rest. " Although most of Lady Mi's thoughts were on curing the poison for her beloved son, she still smiled when she heard this.
The girl with the surname Du nodded her head and looked at the black mist in the corner of the temple. Then, she silently walked back to the fire and sat down again.
Around 15 minutes later, the dense black mist finally dissipated after a long inhale.
Liu Ming's hands were supporting the body of the boy. A trace of fatigue could be seen on his face.
On the ground nearby, there was a large puddle of black poisonous blood that emitted an unpleasant smell that made people want to vomit.
"Mister Qian, my son …" Lady Mi quickly walked over and took the boy. Seeing that he was still unconscious, she couldn't help but ask with a face full of concern.
"Don't worry, I've already cured a portion of the poison. At least for a few days, the poison won't break out again." Liu Ming said with a smile.
Auntie Hong also took a few steps forward and carefully inserted a silver needle into the boy's arm. After pulling it out, she was surprised to find that there was only a faint layer of black gas where the needle had penetrated the flesh. She couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
Seeing this, Lady Mi also relaxed and immediately spoke to Liu Ming with gratitude.
"This time, it's all thanks to Mister Qian. Otherwise, even if we were able to beat back those assassins, my son would have died. When we reach Xuanjing, other than the Spirit Medicine, I will definitely prepare other gifts to thank you. "
"Don't worry about the other gifts. However, the Spirit Medicine that my niece learned must be obtained as soon as possible. Also, your son's body is a bit weak after letting out the blood. When he wakes up, you can give him some nourishing food. Of course, it can't be too much at once. Just in case he can't take the nourishment. Also, this kind of poison extraction must be done every three days. After a month, the poison can be completely removed. "Liu Ming shook his head and said calmly.
"Alright, Mister, don't worry. Once we return to Xuanjing, I will immediately tell the workers to help you find the Spirit Medicine. However, when it comes to removing the poison from my son, I will need Mister's help. "Lady Mi said without hesitation.
