The Mercury Gourd was a natural spiritual treasure. It could be as large as a star or as small as a speck of light. Zhang Ruochen stored it in his Sea of Qi the entire time. The Crazy Alcoholic naturally couldn’t find it.

Zhang Ruochen was annoyed to be touched by the Crazy Alcoholic. He was practically an old pervert. He dared to touch the private spots without feeling any shame.

Zhang Ruochen felt speechless. “Are you taking advantage of me?” he asked, annoyed.

“How could I do those things with my character and morals? I’m not stealing the Mercury Gourd. I just want to touch it.”

His wrinkly hand reached into Zhang Ruochen’s collar and started patting again.

“Old alcoholic, Zhang Ruochen is badly hurt. You better get away, or else I’ll kill you.”

Huang Yanchen didn’t know the Crazy Alcoholic. She unsheathed her saintly sword and cut downward, producing a beam of white sword Qi.

The Crazy Alcoholic quickly dodged the sword Qi. “What are you doing? Burning your bridges? I drank legendary wine I preserved for 200 years to save you just now. Can’t I ask for some payment?”

Qing Mo couldn’t stand this. “Grandpa, Sir Zhang’s veins, meridians, and Saintly Meridians have all been shattered. The Princess is just worried that you’ll hurt him, so she attacked you. Plus, you just drank a flagon of your own wine. It’s not that high of a cost. You shouldn’t demand something like the Mercury Gourd from him.”

“Just a flagon of wine?” The Crazy Alcoholic was instantly upset. “Little girl, don’t you know that after drinking that wine, you’ll have multiple times the speed? You can escape from any enemy. I prepared to drink that wine when I was in danger and use it to escape. I didn’t think I’d waste it on you all.”

A flagon of wine represented a way to escape.

Qing Mo pursed her lips. Looking to the side, she chuckled and said, “Weren’t you in danger earlier? It counts as helping yourself too.”

“I…” The Crazy Alcoholic thought that this girl was heartless. “If I wasn’t trying to save you all, I wouldn’t have been up against those cruel figures! I wouldn’t have been in danger! I wouldn’t have drunk that flagon! So the source of everything is all because of you.”

“If you want to find the source, it’s not us,” Qing Mo said.

The Crazy Alcoholic was stunned. “Not because of you?”

Qing Mo nodded seriously. “We came into the Yin Yang Sea to help Blackie find its sealed physical body. If not for it, we wouldn’t have entered the Yin Yang Sea or run into any danger. So Blackie’s the one who owes you. You should go ask it for compensation.”

“That fat cat?” The Crazy Alcoholic was taken aback. Thinking carefully, he nodded. The girl seemed to make sense, but it still felt wrong. What was amiss?

Did he really have to find that fat cat and ask for compensation?

Huang Yanchen checked Zhang Ruochen’s condition. His injuries were very serious. There was practically no way he could recover.

To a proud talent, having his cultivation disabled would be worse than death. Many people wouldn’t be able to accept this and would give up on themselves, even committing suicide.

“Zhang Ruochen…”

Huang Yanchen’s eyes reddened and shone with unshed tears. She was worried that Zhang Ruochen would also follow their steps.

Zhang Ruochen moved his lips with difficulty and smiled. “I’m not dead yet. Why are you crying? There are Spring Pills in my spatial ring. Take one out for me.”

Huang Yanchen shook her head. “No, your meridians and Saintly Meridians have all exploded. If you take the Spring Pill and the Pill Spirit spreads out, it won’t circulate within you. It’ll only dart around randomly and could worsen your injuries instead.”

“Oh, right. I don’t have meridians and Saintly Meridians anymore. I can’t use Holy Qi anymore.” Zhang Ruochen chuckled. He didn’t show any negative feelings. He tried to keep calm instead.

Huang Yanchen realized that she’d said the wrong thing. “Don’t think too much,” she quickly said. “When we return to the First Central Empire, I’ll definitely find the best pill master to help reconnect your meridians.”

Ao Xinyan bit her red lip with her white teeth. “Team Leader, come with me to the Divine Dragon and Half Human Clan. I’ll definitely send people to find the best healing medicine. We’ll heal you no matter how high the cost.”

Zhang Ruochen was clearer than the others about his own body. It was practically impossible to heal shattered meridians to their original state, unless a miracle happened.

The Crazy Alcoholic walked over. He looked at Zhang Ruochen in Huang Yanchen’s arms with a complex look. Earlier, he’d seemed to be searching for the Mercury Gourd. He’d actually been checking Zhang Ruochen’s injuries.

“Kid,” he said. “I know a Saint of the Pill Way. We have a good relations.h.i.+p. We’ll go find him now. That old guy is pretty respected as a doctor in Kunlun’s Field. He might be able to make you as good as new.”

Ao Xinyan and Huang Yanchen’s eyes brightened. They stared at the Crazy Alcoholic.

Huang Yanchen’s att.i.tude toward him completely changed. “Senior, do you really know a Saint of the Pill Way?”
