After Yang Wu recovered, he first killed the Yaksha and then hurriedly chased after the nuns, so he did not have time to change his clothes. His clothes were tattered, making him look like a beggar, but his important parts were covered. He thought that there would be no problem, but when he rushed over, his already tattered pants were torn again, revealing a small part of his butt.
Just now when Yang Wu scared Chen Hu away, Qing Jing saw it. The reason why she lowered her head was mainly because she did not want to see something indecent.
Yang Wu's hearing was extraordinary, so even if Qing Jing spoke softly, he could still hear it. He turned around to look, and his old face became hot. He quickly took out a cloak from the universe space and quickly covered himself.
"Cough cough … Today's weather is really good." Yang Wu lightly coughed, looked up at the sky and speechlessly said. His heart was incomparably embarrassed.
"Many thanks to benefactor for saving us." Qing Li said gratefully to Yang Wu with the other nuns.
Yang Wu repeatedly waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. You guys saved me first, so this is what I should do."
This time it was Qing Li's turn to be embarrassed.
The person who saved Yang Wu was Qing Jing, not them. Although they did put in some effort, but compared to Qing Jing who wholeheartedly took care of Yang Wu, it was insignificant.
Qing Li was worthy of being the leader of their group. She changed the topic to ease the atmosphere and said, "Benefactor, are you a member of the Beggar Clan?"
Yang Wu explained, "I just had a small accident and was seriously injured. My clothes are tattered, so I am not a member of the Beggar Clan."
"Then which sect are you from?" Qing Li asked again.
Yang Wu replied, "Me … I am from the Marquis Clan, Yang Wu."
"Marquis Clan?" Qing Li and her junior sisters were stunned. They did not seem to have heard of such a power.
"It must be a new power." They all thought in their hearts.
"Hurry up and heal your injuries. I'll protect you. If you have anything to say, wait until you're better." Yang Wu said.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, benefactor," Qingli bowed to Yang Wu, then led her Junior Sisters to sit down and treat their injuries.
They had suffered heavy injuries in the battle just now and needed to recover before they could continue their journey.
Qing Jing was not seriously injured. She and Yang Wu stood guard for their Junior Sister.
Yang Wu came to Qing Jing's side and sincerely thanked her, "Junior Sister Qing Jing, thank you for saving me."
Qing Jing waved his hand and said, "Saving a life is better than building a seven-storied pagoda. This is what we monks should do."
"No matter what, I will engrave it in my heart. I have decided to escort you all the way." Yang Wu said with certainty.
"Really? That's great. " Qing Jing said happily. After a pause, she added, "Then my Senior Sister and the others will be much safer. It's too dangerous here."
"What is this place? Why does it feel so dangerous?" Yang Wu took the opportunity to ask.
"This is a broken space. You've already asked twice. When you came in, didn't your family tell you that this is the battlefield for the Heaven King Ranking?" Qing Jing asked back.
Yang Wu hesitated and said, "Actually, I didn't mean to fall here. Would you believe me?"
"Where did you fall in from?"
"From the Wolf Smoke Mountain Range."
"I've never heard of it. It must be an ancient mountain range. Since you're not here to participate in the Heaven King Ranking, then you should hurry up and leave. There are evil Yaksha Clan, Blood Wyrm Clan, and many ancient fierce beasts here. They will all see us humans as invaders and want to eat us all." Qing Jing said vividly. Her face was filled with anxiety.
Yang Wu asked again, "What do you mean by the Heaven King Ranking?"
"You don't even know about the Heaven King Ranking? It seems that you must be from a place far away. It refers to the ranking of disciples under the age of 30 in the Heavenly Fish Realm and the Earth Sea Realm. Everyone's goal is to compete for this ranking and win glory for their respective sects. Whoever can enter the top 100 of the Heaven King Ranking will be given the title of 'Heavenly King', which means that their future achievements will be very outstanding. Outside of the top 100, the top 1000 can only be called 'Battle King'. Those outside of the top 1000 can only be called 'Battle King'.
Qing Jing explained. Yang Wu instantly understood the situation of the ranking. It turned out that it was the battle ranking of the younger generation. He was completely stunned. He thought to himself, "There are too many geniuses under the age of 30 in the Heavenly Fish Realm."
In the mortal world, to be able to break through to the Earth Sea Realm before the age of 30 was already an amazing genius. But here, there were actually existences under the age of 30 in the Heavenly Fish Realm. It was really shocking.
Qing Jing continued. Their goal for this trip was to kill more Yakshas and Blood Wyrms and find items to break through. In this space, there were many King Herbs and Heavenly Medicines. They were all of extraordinary value and could be collected and brought back to their sects to contribute. It was also an opportunity for them to break through.
In this fragmented space, there were also relics left behind by the ancient people. If they could discover something, their strength might increase by leaps and bounds.
After Yang Wu heard this, he felt that his horizons had been broadened. He finally understood that Little Hei's words about him being a frog at the bottom of a well were not wrong.
Through Qing Jing's words, he knew that those who entered this fragmented space were basically all young people from various forces in the Transcendent Realm. They were all fighting for their own opportunities. They all wanted to get a chance to break through in a limited time and shake off their peers as much as possible. Only then would they be able to monopolize the competition in the future.
"This space only opens once every 20 years. Every time it opens, it will only open for a year. After a year, we will leave this place. If we don't leave, we will stay here for another 20 years. We will definitely become food for the Yakshas and Blood Wyrms. We have only been here for a little over a month. We still have to stay here for another 10 months before we can leave," Qing Jing said, a little distressed.
"Junior Sister Qing Jing, we are martial artists. If we have the opportunity to improve our strength, why not? Why do you look so unhappy?" Yang Wu asked with a faint smile.
Qing Jing looked unhappy and said, "I don't want to cultivate. I just want to quietly chant scriptures and do things that make others happy. I'm satisfied. I'm afraid of killing."
Yang Wu could tell that she was speaking from the bottom of her heart. He sighed in his heart. "What a naive little nun."
"Yes, if you don't want to kill, I'll do it for you," Yang Wu said casually.
"No, you can't kill. It will shorten your lifespan." Qing Jing quickly stopped him.
"But if you don't kill them, they will kill you. What if they kill your senior sisters?" Yang Wu asked.
Qing Jing was stumped by Yang Wu's words and didn't know how to respond. She pinched the corner of her clothes and said, "As long as we don't attack them, they won't come looking for trouble with us."
Yang Wu smiled and didn't dwell on this issue. He continued to ask about the things he wanted to know from the side.
Qing Jing didn't have any ulterior motives. She told Yang Wu everything.
An hour later, Qing Li was the first to recover. She walked over and interrupted Yang Wu and Qing Jing's conversation. She said, "Junior Sister, we should go."
"Okay, Senior Sister. Are you all better?" Qing Jing asked.
"Yes, we're much better." Qing Li replied. Then she said to Yang Wu, "Benefactor, thank you for helping us. We will repay you in the future."
Yang Wu could feel that this nun was very guarded. He didn't mind and said, "You saved me, so I should save you. I plan to protect you for a while as repayment."
"There's no need. Our debt is settled." Qing Li said decisively.
Yang Wu smiled and said, "Our debt is settled. But I owe Junior Sister Qing Jing. I must protect her and not let her get hurt. Do you think you have the ability to protect her?"
Qing Li was speechless. She didn't expect the man in front of her to be so good at finding excuses. This made her even more certain that this man had other motives.
Qing Jing said, "Benefactor, you don't have to protect me. I will be safe with Senior Sister and the others."
"If you meet those people again, you will be humiliated by them." Yang Wu said in a deep voice. Then he added, "Even if you don't want me to protect you, I will follow you."
"Okay, then follow us. We will soon meet up with the Five Peaks' Senior Brothers and Junior Sisters. You can leave then." Qing Li felt Yang Wu's determination. She might as well go with the flow. This place was full of danger. One more person meant one more strength. No matter what his motive was, as long as she was careful, it would be fine.
Just like that, Yang Wu followed the thirteen nuns on their way. Their goal was to meet up with their fellow sect members. They had been separated when they came in.
Along the way, Yang Wu was very silent. He didn't take the initiative to talk to Qing Jing, nor did he talk to the other nuns. It was a bit inappropriate for a man like him to mingle with the nuns. If he got too close to them, it would affect their reputation.
On the way, he picked herbs one after another. The nuns also picked them. However, their ability to identify herbs was very poor. There were some herbs with extraordinary effects that they didn't pick. When they saw Yang Wu pick them, some of them couldn't help but ask him what he was doing with the herbs.
Yang Wu fully displayed his knowledge of pharmacology as an alchemist and patiently explained to them. They realized that the man in front of them had an extraordinary knowledge of pharmacology. They guessed that Yang Wu might be an alchemist's disciple and had a high level of medicinal pills to be able to quickly recover his body.
Through the matter of identifying herbs, Yang Wu gradually gained the trust of these nuns. Their vigilance towards him was reduced a lot.
Yang Wu didn't become complacent because of their trust in him. He still kept a distance from them and always paid attention to the movements around him to avoid accidents.
After nightfall, Yang Wu prepared some spirit fruits for these nuns. This was what he found on the road. The nuns didn't refuse Yang Wu's kindness. Their impression of Yang Wu was getting better and better.
"I have to prepare some pills." Yang Wu went to a corner and took out a medicinal cauldron to refine pills.
When the pills he refined attracted the pill thunder, the nuns couldn't help but exclaim, "Benefactor Yang is an alchemist!"
