36: Chapter 36 Licking the Residue? Three Bottles of Divine Pills Smash in His Face!

'Thump!' A Disciple of the Tianjian Sect knelt down.

Immediately after.

The second, the third... the Disciples fell to their knees one after another.

'Thank... thank you, Senior, for saving our lives!' someone shouted with a sob.

'Disciples of Wanshou Mountain are willing to obey Senior's orders!' a burly man rasped.

'Baicao Valley... obeys Senior's instructions!' the Baicao Valley Elder said with a bow.

Duan Gujin walked toward the area where the wounded were gathered.

He scanned those pained and weary faces, occasionally stopping to check on one or two severely injured Disciples.

He looked like a Senior who cared for his juniors.

But in reality, he didn't care about them at all; he was looking for the Daughter of Luck.

As he walked near a corner at the edge of the battlefield,

[Target character has appeared!]

[Name: Qin Youyou]

[Age: 32]

[Cultivation: Seventh Level of Foundation Establishment]

[Aptitude: Spring-Returning Wondrous Wood Body (Unawakened)]

[submission level: 0]

[The Spring-Returning Wondrous Wood Body is a very special divine body.]

[Once awakened, it is comparable to a Heavenly Spiritual Root.]

[Those with this divine body can quickly heal themselves or others.]

[To completely activate this divine body, one needs enough Wood Spirit Stones!]

[Currently, Qin Youyou is displaying a Medium Grade Water-Wood Dual Spiritual Roots.]

Duan Gujin immediately looked toward that corner.

A woman in green clothes was kneeling in the mud, her hands pressed against the chest of a severely injured Disciple.

Her figure was slender and frail, and her palm-sized face was so pale it was almost transparent.

Sweat soaked several strands of black hair on her forehead, sticking to her smooth temples and cheeks.

She tightly pursed her bloodless lips, looking exceptionally fragile.

Her face was pale and she was exhausted, but the hands pressed against the injured person's chest were emitting a faint green light,

Her slender fingers were doing their best to combat the Devilish Qi inside the injured person, her knuckles turning slightly white from the effort.

Qin Youyou was putting all her effort into saving the person, until a tall and intensely oppressive shadow completely covered her.

She was startled and abruptly looked up.

At this close distance, her features were clear; her willow-leaf brows were like mist, and her almond eyes were hazy with moisture from overexertion, her dark pupils reflecting fear.

Her small chin was pointed, and her skin was delicate but completely bloodless.

'Se... Senior...' Her voice was as faint as a mosquito's buzz.

'From Baicao Valley?' Duan Gujin's gaze swept over her overly exquisite but weary little face.

'Yes... Disciple Qin Youyou, under the Medicine King Peak of Baicao Valley,' she answered hurriedly, instinctively wanting to stand up and salute, but her body swayed because she had exhausted her strength.

Duan Gujin looked at her muddy, slightly trembling hands.

He then looked at the dirty hem of her green clothes and her face, which remained clear and beautiful despite her disheveled state.

He quickly took out a Medicinal Pill bottle.

'This is the Spring-Returning Bone-Continuing Pill. Each person should take one, and you can take one yourself!'

'Thank you!'

Qin Youyou held the warm jade bottle and immediately poured out a Medicinal Pill.

The Medicinal Pill was green and round, emitting a rich fragrance of plants and the aura of life.

With just one sniff, her depleted Dantian trembled slightly.

She immediately fed the Medicinal Pill to the fellow Disciple whose chest was being corroded by Devilish Qi and who was on the verge of death.

The Medicinal Pill melted as soon as it entered the mouth.

A miracle happened!

The Disciple's sallow face quickly became ruddy.

At the wound on the chest, the decayed flesh was purified and fell away, and fresh flesh grew and closed up quickly.

The wound, so deep that bone was visible, contracted, scabbed over, and grew new flesh within a few breaths!

'This... this...' Qin Youyou's almond eyes widened in disbelief.

'Senior Sister! Quick, over here!' a call came from nearby.

Qin Youyou snapped back to her senses, her heart filled with shock and joy.

The pill the Senior gave was actually such a Divine Pill!

Forcing herself through her weakness, she immediately ran among the wounded.

'Open your mouth, take it quickly!' She distributed the Medicinal Pills to the most severely injured.

A miracle occurred every time, and those Disciples recovered quickly.

Qin Youyou watched her fellow Disciples escape danger, her heart filled with excitement and gratitude.

Senior's kindness was far too great!

After finishing with all the severely injured, she looked at the last remaining Medicinal Pill in the bottle, and a sense of longing welled up.

Her own Qi was exhausted, her Meridians were burning with pain, and she was incredibly weak.

This Medicinal Pill was a lifesaver.

She tremblingly brought the jade bottle to her lips, but her movement paused.

She looked at her fellow Disciples whose injuries hadn't fully healed and thought of the pill's preciousness.

Once one was used, there would be one less.

'I... I can still hold on...' she whispered.

She gave the last Medicinal Pill to another injured Disciple.

In the end, she licked the remaining pill residue from the walls of the bottle.

A stream of warmth flowed in, giving her exhausted body a slight relief and barely restoring a hint of color to her pale face, but her Foundation was not restored.

After doing all this, she could no longer hold on and collapsed into a kneeling position on the ground, gasping for air and dripping with cold sweat.

That bit of warmth was quickly swallowed by fatigue.

At that moment, the intensely oppressive shadow enveloped her once again.

Duan Gujin had returned.

His tall figure completely covered her.

His sharp gaze swept over the recovering wounded and finally landed on the woman in the mud who was pale, weak, and struggling even to remain kneeling.

His brow furrowed imperceptibly.

He had seen her action of licking the bottle wall and saw even more clearly that she was at the end of her rope.

'Where are the pills?' Duan Gujin's voice was low and majestic.

Qin Youyou trembled: 'Re... reporting to Senior, they... they were all distributed to the severely injured fellow Disciples. They... they are recovering very well! Thank you, Senior, for the medicine!'

'Foolish.' Duan Gujin shook his head slightly. 'I said you could take one yourself.'

'This Disciple... this Disciple can still endure,' Qin Youyou explained with her head lowered.

Duan Gujin quickly took out three bottles of Medicinal Pills from his Storage Ring and handed them to Qin Youyou.

Qin Youyou took the three bottles of Medicinal Pills, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

She remembered her embarrassment just now when she licked the bottle wall to save a single pill.

And the pathetic state she was in when she almost collapsed from exhausting her Qi; she felt extremely ashamed and self-reproachful.

She secretly cursed herself for being too stupid!

Senior clearly said she could eat one herself, and Senior could take out such Divine Pills at will, so how could he mind a single one?

Her self-righteous saving appeared both laughable and petty in the face of true strength and generosity.

'Thank... thank you for the gift, Senior!' Qin Youyou's voice was a bit choked as she tightly gripped the jade bottles.

She quickly lowered her head to hide her burning face and the feeling of wanting to cry.

Duan Gujin saw the change in her emotions, which was exactly what he wanted.

To make her realize her own foolishness, thereby making her even more grateful and dependent on him.

Duan Gujin smiled slightly: 'No need to thank me. Saving people is what matters. Your Qi is exhausted and your Foundation is unstable; take one first to recover. Otherwise, how will you save more people?'

This time, Qin Youyou did not hesitate.

She immediately opened a bottle, poured out a green, shimmering Spring-Returning Bone-Continuing Pill, and put it in her mouth.

The Medicinal Pill melted upon entry, turning into a powerful warm current that instantly filled her parched Dantian and aching Meridians.

She felt her fatigue swept away, her internal hidden injuries quickly healed, and her exhausted Qi surged back.

Her face quickly became ruddy, and her hands stopped trembling.

After just a moment, she felt completely recovered!

The effect of this Medicinal Pill was even more miraculous than she had imagined!

She looked at Duan Gujin, her eyes filled with worship and awe.

'How do you feel?' Duan Gujin asked, knowing the answer.

Qin Youyou answered excitedly.

'It's... it's too miraculous! Senior! I feel better than ever before! The hidden injuries are gone, and my Qi is full!'

'Senior's great kindness, Youyou... Youyou has no way to repay it!'
