An IOU?
Chu Tianfeng took the bamboo slip.
The finger-long bamboo slip was as smooth as jade, very comfortable to hold in his hand.
In the blink of an eye, he saw the contents written on the bamboo slip:
"Today, Chu Tianfeng of the Burning Heaven Palace owes Meng Qi five sixth-grade spirit stones and nine hundred first-grade spirit stones. The deadline is one month, and interest will be paid every month. "
It was the first time in his life that the Young Palace Master of the Burning Heaven Palace saw an IOU.
The little flame of excitement and appreciation that had just ignited in him was completely extinguished with a "chi" sound.
He gritted his teeth and left his Divine Sense imprint on the bamboo slip.
Chu Tianfeng returned the bamboo slip to Meng Qi.
Then he turned around and walked towards the residence of the Cool Breeze Valley Sect.
Meng Qi put the bamboo slip back into her storage bracelet.
She didn't leave immediately. Instead, she sat cross-legged beside the cold pond with a grain of spring warmth in her mouth.
This day and night had consumed too much energy, but she had also gained a lot.
The way of the world was never as peaceful as it seemed on the surface. Every bit of strength counted.
The moon moved and the stars tilted. The morning sun rose.
The sun shone on her white cheeks.
Meng Qi's long eyelashes fluttered twice, and she slowly opened her eyes.
Yesterday, she repeatedly used her Empty Spirit Qi, then filled it up, and used it again.
And what she faced was the poison of a fifth-grade demon.
After one day and one night, she was already close to perfection at the eighth level of Qi Refining. Now she directly broke through the eighth level and smoothly entered the ninth level.

Meng Qi nodded in satisfaction and stood up.
Half of Chu Tianfeng's poison still hadn't been cured.
She needed a few herbs that could be found in the mountain range next to the Cool Breeze Valley and the demon world.
It was still safe there for now.
Meng Qi had done something similar in her previous life, but she didn't have the experience at that time.
Moreover, the Cool Breeze Technique was one level lower than in this life, so it took her ten days and ten nights to cure Chu Tianfeng.
According to the current progress, it should be done in about five days.
Meng Qi returned to the sect first.
It was quiet in the Cool Breeze Valley.
It was morning class time, and the disciples of the Cool Breeze Valley were all cultivating.
There was a small bamboo hut in Meng Qi, located halfway up the mountain.
She packed a simple bag and prepared to pick herbs.
As soon as she stepped out of the door, Senior Sister Lan Zhuxuan stopped her.
"Junior Martial Sister Meng." Lan Zhuxuan crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked her up and down. "You didn't come back last night?"
Her gaze fell on Meng Qi's green robe.
The corners of Lan Zhuxuan's lips curled up. She smiled with some schadenfreude. "I heard that the Young Palace Master of the Burning Sky Palace came back first last night."
"Is that so?" Meng Qi replied faintly.
"Yes." Lan Zhuxuan rolled her eyes. "As soon as he returned, he went to visit Junior Martial Sister Lu Qing Ran."
"You know, Junior Sister Lu is still unconscious, and Young Palace Master Chu stayed by her bedside for the whole night." She smiled and continued, "Everyone says that Young Palace Master Chu really likes Junior Sister Lu."
"Okay." Meng Qi nodded.
Of course, she knew. Otherwise, she wouldn't have charged Chu Tianfeng ten times the amount.
"Where are you going, Junior Martial Sister Meng?" Lan Zhuxuan looked at the calm expression on Meng Qi's face and was not reconciled. "Don't say that I didn't remind you. Young Palace Master Chu is still in Junior Martial Sister Lu Qing Ran's room. If you go to him, I'm afraid you'll be asking for a snub."
Lan Zhuxuan raised her chin. "It seems that Junior Martial Sister Meng didn't cure Young Palace Master Chu. I heard from Sect Leader and Elder Yan that the poison in Young Palace Master's body is still there."
"Junior Martial Sister Meng is really smart. She stepped forward at that time. Whether she can cure Young Palace Master Chu or not, she must have left a deep impression on him. I just don't know … "
Lan Zhuxuan smiled playfully. "Is it a good or bad impression?"
"Senior Martial Sister Lan." Meng Qi completely understood. "The Three Thousand Worlds are full of dangers. If Senior Martial Sister has time, you should seize the time to cultivate and make yourself stronger."
Her tone was sincere. "Otherwise, it will be difficult to survive if something happens in the future."
After Meng Qi finished speaking, she nodded at Lan Zhuxuan. "I have to leave the sect for a day. I'll leave first."
"Hmph!" Lan Zhuxuan looked at Meng Qi's figure that was gradually disappearing. "What are you being so arrogant for?!"
She pursed her lips and fiddled with her hair.
She was sure that this Junior Martial Sister Meng had no way to cure the Young Palace Master of Burning Sky Palace.
She had made a fool of herself in front of him and might even be scolded by him.
So when the other party was still in the sect, she didn't have the face to continue staying.
She went out to hide.
She wouldn't let her have her way.
Lan Zhuxuan curled her lips.
She turned around, and before she took a few steps, she met a male disciple she knew in the sect.
The other party was quite familiar with her.
After greeting him, Lan Zhuxuan immediately said, "I saw Junior Martial Sister Meng Qi leave the sect in a hurry just now. Do you know where she went?"
She said innocently, "I was looking for Junior Martial Sister for something, but I couldn't stop her even after calling her several times."
"I don't know." The disciple shook his head.
"Could it be …" Lan Zhuxuan blinked. "Because she lied to the sect master and the Young Palace Master of Burning Sky Palace and angered them, she was so scared that she ran out to hide?"
"Haha." The disciple couldn't help but laugh. "It's really possible. The day before yesterday, I saw Junior Martial Sister Meng Qi stand up so confidently and say that she wanted to collect money or something. I thought she was very confident. "
"Damn! You can't say that. Didn't Elder Yan praise Junior Martial Sister Meng for her talent? Maybe she really thinks that a little Qi Refinement cultivator can cure the poison that even the sect master is helpless against. "
"Haha, I think she saw that the Young Palace Master is handsome and is from the Burning Sky Palace, so she even forgot who she is."
"I don't think Junior Martial Sister Meng is such a person …"
The two of them talked as they walked away.
Meng Qi didn't know that on the day she left.
She shamelessly stuck to the Young Palace Master of Burning Sky Palace and lied to him and the sect master. The rumors of her lying had already spread throughout Cool Breeze Valley.
Meng Qi's memory was very good.
It was already a few years ago that she went to pick herbs in her previous life.
But she still remembered the approximate location.
With the memory of the past, the time spent on the road was much less.
At noon the next day, she returned to Cool Breeze Valley.
Those herbs weren't considered expensive.
Their grades were only first or second grade.
Just like the Cool Breeze Technique, the higher Meng Qi's medical skills in her previous life, the more she felt.
In fact, whether it was medical skills or herbs, there shouldn't be too many grades.
She could use the Fourth Level Cool Breeze Technique to resolve the poison of the fifth-grade demon that Chu Tianfeng was poisoned by.
She could also use second-grade herbs to remove the remaining poison in the other party's body.
People thought too much about grades. In fact, sometimes they would give up what was near and seek what was far away.
She returned to Cool Breeze Valley with a big bag of herbs. It was exactly noon the second day after she left.
The disciples of Cool Breeze Valley had finished their morning classes that day and were exchanging their cultivation experiences in twos and threes.
Meng Qi still returned to her bamboo house first.
Chu Tianfeng should still be at Lu Qing Ran's place at this time.
According to the memories of her previous life, this Senior Martial Sister Lu wouldn't wake up until she resolved Chu Tianfeng's poison.
That wouldn't do.
Because the more she detoxified the poison, the more difficult it would be.
Meng Qi was very worried that she would be so tired that she would faint again.
At that time, if Senior Martial Sister Lu Qing Ran woke up and she fainted and couldn't defend herself, it would be troublesome if she was wronged again.
Although she accepted Chu Tianfeng's spirit stones this time, she couldn't really completely cut off the karma.
Meng Qi wasn't completely sure.
Therefore, she simply plucked a few more stalks of Mind-clearing Grass.
On the way back on the paper crane, she also refined a few heart-clearing pills.
In fact, Cool Breeze Valley also had heart-clearing pills. The sect leader had also given them to Lu Qing Ran immediately.
However, although she only fainted from fright, she still inhaled the mo energy of a fifth-grade demon.
Lu Qing Ran was only a zhuji stage xiuzhe when the mo energy invaded her body. That was why she was unconscious for so long.
As Meng Qi walked in the direction of Lu Qing Ran's room, she nodded at the Cool Breeze Valley disciples she met on the way as a form of greeting.
She soon realized that her Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters passing by were looking at her in a strange way.
Several people were looking at her with mocking smiles on their faces.
Meng Qi even heard someone say behind her, "She still has the face to come back!"
"She doesn't think that since Young Palace Master Chu left, this matter is over, right?"
"She's a bit thick-skinned."
"Daring to do such a thing in public that day, you and I wouldn't have been able to do it."
"I wonder how she would feel seeing Young Palace Master Chu still so affectionately guarding Junior Martial Sister Lu?"
Meng Qi blinked.
She suddenly turned around and looked at the senior martial brothers and sisters who were happily gathered together and "whispering" not far from her.
When those people saw her turn around, they quickly left.
But those words were clearly said for her to hear.
Meng Qi frowned.
Even though she felt that something was wrong, she still walked quickly towards Lu Qing Ran's room.
As the direct disciple that the sect leader valued the most.
Lu Qing Ran's room was in the place with the densest ling energy in Cool Breeze Valley.
Even though it could not compare to the cold pond, it was an independent little courtyard. There were some ling flowers and grasses growing in the courtyard.
When Meng Qi pushed open the door and entered, she felt comfortable all over.
Her action of pushing open the courtyard door alerted the people in the room.
The sect leader of Cool Breeze Valley walked out of the room.
Her gaze landed on Meng Qi's face.
She had heard some of the rumors in the sect these past two days.
The sect leader did not believe that Meng Qi was such a person.
But Lu Qing Ran was unconscious these past few days.
The poison in Chu Tianfeng's body was still there, and it would still act up every two hours.
If he did not talk about the pain when the poison acted up, others would not be able to tell how serious it was.
And he did not want to talk about what happened at the cold pond that day.
In addition, Meng Qi went straight down the mountain as soon as she came back.
The sect leader of Cool Breeze Valley was worried about her direct disciple, so she did not have the heart to control the rumors among the disciples.
At this time, she saw the calm Meng Qi and met the other party's clear eyes.
The sect leader did not know why, but she suddenly felt a little guilty.
"Sect leader." Meng Qi bowed to her.
As soon as her voice fell, Chu Tianfeng, who heard Meng Qi's voice, also walked out of the room.
He was still wearing the black robe.
The youth's eyes were as black as ink, and his long hair was tied up with a small black sandalwood crown.
His face was still pale, but compared to the day he carried Lu Qing Ran back to Cool Breeze Valley, his complexion was better.
Meng Qi sized him up briefly before retracting his gaze.
She walked into the room. "Has Lu Shijie not woken up yet?"
"What do you want to do?!" Chu Tianfeng did not even think as he flashed in front of Meng Qi and blocked the door.
Meng Qi: "… …"
She looked at the youth in front of her whose eyes were bright and on guard against her.
"I brought back a few heart clearing pills." She explained, "Shijie has been unconscious for many days. She should have been affected by the presence of that demon."
"Heart clearing pill?" Chu Tianfeng stilled. "Cool Breeze Valley also has it."
"En." Meng Qi nodded. "When I made the heart clearing pill, I added two kinds of medicine and increased the effect by eighty percent."
This was a method she had learned from her benefactor.
The xiuzhe in the three thousand worlds were divided into law xiu and sword xiu.
There were also medical xiu and forging. In the eyes of most xiuzhe, these were only unorthodox cultivation methods.
Of the three thousand great paths of xiuzhe, the great majority were mainly law xiu and sword xiu.
Meng Qi had met an expert in her last life who was very skilled in forging.
The two were both people who were very studious and hit it off immediately.
In the end, they used the forging method on medicine.
It was like when forging talismans, they could seal spells on talismans and weapons.
They had thought of a way to seal spells on medicine pills.
But Meng Qi had died too early and too suddenly.
She knew this method, but it could only be used on low level first-grade dan.
Thinking about it, this was probably the most regretful thing of her last life.
Of course, she could not say these words to Chu Tianfeng.
Meng Qi was a medical xiu and knew very well that this method was enough to shake the entire medical xiu world.
"Let me see." The sect leader of Cool Breeze Valley quickly walked over and took the pill from Meng Qi's hand.
She lowered her head and sniffed. There was no problem with the pill.
As for its effect.
"Then let's try it." The sect leader sighed softly.
She was only the sect leader of a small sect, and her ability was limited. In this trichiliocosm, to put it bluntly, she was like an ant.
Most of the time, she was helpless.
For example, now that her personal disciple was unconscious, she was helpless.
The pill was quickly sent to Lu Qing Ran for her to take.
Meng Qi turned to look at Chu Tianfeng. "When Shijie wakes up, we will continue."
"You … …" The sect leader could finally ask, "Meng Qi, how is the poison in Fellow Daoist Chu's body?"
"It hasn't been cured yet," Meng Qi said frankly.
Chu Tianfeng frowned slightly.
He looked down on Meng Qi's love for money, but the other party had indeed relieved a lot of his pain.
"Half of it has been cured," Chu Tianfeng said coldly.
"Really?" The sect leader was very surprised.
She agreed to Meng Qi's attempt, but in fact, it was just a desperate effort.
After all, the entire Cool Breeze Valley was helpless at that time, and only Meng Qi dared to step forward.
Chu Tianfeng dropped this sentence and sat silently to the side.
Meng Qi also didn't explain.
What came next was the most dangerous. She also found a chair to sit down and began to close her eyes to rest.
The room suddenly became quiet.
After a while, she finally heard a soft sound.
Lu Qing Ran, who had been lying in bed in a coma for many days, slowly opened her eyes.
Chu Tianfeng, who was sitting the furthest away, was the fastest to move.
He suddenly jumped up and hurried to the side of the bed.
"Qing Ran!" Chu Tianfeng leaned over to look at Lu Qing Ran.
The girl's eyes were still a little confused, but when she saw him, her almond-shaped eyes widened. "Tianfeng?"
Lu Qing Ran sat up immediately. "You're fine!"
She suddenly threw herself into Chu Tianfeng's arms and hugged his waist tightly. "I thought … I thought we were all going to die …"
"It's okay." Chu Tianfeng lowered his head and gently patted Lu Qing Ran's shoulder.
Just as he was about to comfort the beauty in his arms, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head.
"Uh …" Chu Tianfeng reached out to press his forehead and staggered back.
"Tianfeng?!" Lu Qing Ran didn't care that she had just woken up and hurriedly reached out to support him. "What happened to you?"
Meng Qi also took a step forward. "He's suffering from the poison! Quick! Let him sit down. "
As she spoke, her right hand quickly formed a seal and placed it on Chu Tianfeng's head.
Lu Qing Ran widened her eyes in surprise and looked at this somewhat unfamiliar junior martial sister in front of her.
She looked at the other's familiar movements and calm face.
"Qing Ran …" Until the sect leader's voice sounded beside her.
"Master." Lu Qing Ran turned to look at the sect leader, the rims of her eyes red.
She threw herself into the sect leader's arms and was about to cry. "Disciple … Disciple thought she would never see you again."
"It's okay." The sect leader sighed in relief and patted Lu Qing Ran's shoulder.
"This … Junior Martial Sister Meng Qi …" Lu Qing Ran hugged the sect leader and acted coquettishly for a while, then turned to look at Meng Qi. "She's …"
"She's detoxifying Fellow Daoist Chu." The sect leader comforted her softly. "It's fine as long as you're okay."
"But isn't Junior Martial Sister Meng just in the Qi Condensation stage?"
Lu Qing Ran was even more surprised.
Her eyes suddenly widened. "Master, I remember. When we encountered that demonic creature, Disciple seemed to have seen a girl wearing Cool Breeze Valley's disciple robes together with that demonic creature. Didn't Disciple say it was Junior Martial Sister Meng Qi? But Junior Martial Sister Meng, she … she … "
Lu Qing Ran was also at a loss. "That demonic creature is at the Fifth Stage, and Junior Martial Sister Meng is only at the Qi Refining stage. How can she detoxify the poison … Disciple doesn't suspect her, but even Tianfeng … Could she be … "
She knew it!
Although Meng Qi was detoxifying Chu Tianfeng, she heard everything very clearly.
Fortunately, she had already predicted this and woke Lu Qing Ran up first.
Otherwise, she would probably be locked up for another three months for no reason.
Meng Qi exhaled and withdrew her hand from Chu Tianfeng's shoulder.
She was about to speak, but a voice was faster than her.
"It's not her!"
Eh?
Meng Qi was stunned.
She subconsciously lowered her head to look at Chu Tianfeng.
Chu Tianfeng had already opened his eyes at some point.
His expression was calmer than before, but his gaze had become somewhat complicated.
Especially when he was looking at her.
Meeting Meng Qi's gaze, Chu Tianfeng quickly turned his head.
He took a deep breath and said resolutely, "Meng … Meng Qi is definitely not that kind of person!"
