There is something wrong with the bodies of these guys? Is it possible that they are not normal human beings?
”Right! I forgot that I could use my blood too,” Song Shuhang said as he patted his forehead. Eyes could easily see others, but they would often fail to see oneself.
After saying this much, he said to Riverly Purple Mist, ”In that case, can you apply the medicine to Miss Chu Chu while I drip some blood on the materials to active their medicinal properties?”
”Sure.” Riverly Purple Mist nodded. After all, it wasn't that much of an effort.
Venerable White added, ”I need to mark the bodies of these test subjects. After she's done treating Miss Chu Chu, fellow daoist Purple Mist can bring them away.”
If one wanted to obtain the lost technique of the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Sect, they needed to start from the bodies of these test subjects. Venerable White already had a plan.
”Sure.” Riverly Purple Mist nodded.
...The number of test subjects had increased all of a sudden. Luckily, she brought a flight-type treasure along that would allow her to bring them back in one go!

Inside the tent, Chu Chu was gazing at the ceiling in a daze.
Earlier, Song Shuhang a.s.sured her that he would mention the matter about the Grievance Settling Platform to Venerable White. With his help, the Chu Family would be able to stay alive even if they were to lose the battle on the platform.
It was a pity that she couldn't help with the battle. If she had the strength, she would have crawled up from this bed and gone there—dying in battle was way better than staying here and helplessly lying on the bed!
Just as her imagination was running wild, the tent opened and two figures stepped inside.
One was Song Shuhang—his s.h.i.+ning bald head was very eye-catching amidst the sunlight.
The other was a pet.i.te girl. Her short purple hair and the red light flickering in her eyes made her resemble a demonic spirit.
Song Shuhang faintly smiled and said to Chu Chu, ”Miss Chu Chu, we've come to apply the new medicine.”
”New medicine?” Chu Chu gazed in puzzlement at Shuhang, and her eyes lit up a moment later. ”Can this new medicine allow me to recover at a faster pace?”
Song Shuhang forced a smile and comforted her, ”It won't let you recover at a faster pace, but it will eradicate potential hidden injuries that might otherwise remain. Anyway, you don't have to worry. The battle between the Chu Family and the Illusory Sword School will not go as badly as you think. Don't lose hope.” After all, Soft Feather was there!
Chu Chu forced a smile and said, ”Sorry, I was being impatient.”
Riverly Purple Mist shot a glance at Chu Chu and said, ”Tsk, these injuries are quite serious. Even worse than what Medicine Master said.”
”Shuhang, quickly drip some blood here. My time is limited,” Riverly Purple Mist said as she unwrapped the new medicinal paste—she wanted to return to Medicine Master's side as soon as possible!
”Sure,” Song Shuhang said as he extended his arm. Then, he grabbed Broken Tyrant and made a cut on his wrist; he looked very valiant while doing so!
It was strange though. He should have felt nervous since it was his first time doing something of the sort, and yet, he made the cut skillfully and without hesitation. Had he already done something like this earlier?
After his wrist was cut, blood spurted out, falling on the medicinal paste in Purple Mist's hands.
When the blood of the male cultivator came in contact with the medicinal paste, there was a sudden change. The originally dark-colored paste became deep-red, and bubble-like things appeared on its surface. It seemed as though the whole paste had started to boil.
”Miss Purple Mist, is it enough?” Song Shuhang asked.
Riverly Purple Mist nodded and said, ”It's enough.”
”In that case, can you stop the bleeding?” Song Shuhang asked. He felt that he cut too deeply, blood was quickly gus.h.i.+ng out.
Riverly Purple Mist blinked a few times. ”I have no idea how to stop a bleeding.”
”What?” Song Shuhang opened his eyes wide… Aren't you Medicine Master's disciple? How come you don't know how to stop a bleeding?
As though she had realized what Song Shuhang was thinking, she said innocently, ”I just recently switched to this profession! Moreover, I'm Medicine Master's disciple in name only. If we compare our cultivation realms, I'm slightly stronger than him.”
Song Shuhang had tears streaming down his face. He covered his wrist and ran out of the tent, heading toward Venerable White as he shouted, ”Senior White, save me~”
”...” Chu Chu who was lying on the bed.
Riverly Purple Mist shrugged. ”And here I was wondering why he cut his wrist so deeply. I even thought that it was to act cool in front of a sick beauty.”
After saying this much, Purple Mist raised the quilt and looked at Chu Chu's chest. ”Heh, it's completely flat.”
The corner of Chu Chu's mouth twitched.
Purple Mist started to treat the injury on Chu Chu's chest. She quickly removed the old paste and started to apply the new one. Although she had become Medicine Master's disciple not too long ago, she could easily do something as simple as applying a medicinal paste.
After the new medicine was applied, Chu Chu opened her eyes wide. A hot feeling spread from her chest, and soon after, she felt a piercing pain—so painful that even her eyes turned red! She could only emit a pigeon-like cooing sound.
”Oh! I forgot to tell you that the new medicinal paste would cause some pain. Endure, endure!” Riverly Purple Mist heartily laughed and even carefully covered Chu Chu with the quilt.
Chu Chu clenched her teeth. What's the point of saying it now! I already know it!
Riverly Purple Mist smiled and added, ”If it's fate, we'll meet again. I have other matters to attend to and I can't accompany you any longer. If you need someone to comfort you, I can call little friend Song Shuhang and the two of you can have a heart-to-heart talk.”
Little friend Song Shuhang was after all a good person, and like every good person, he had the innate talent to comfort young girls. After he had comforted the heartbroken girl, he would be conveniently added to the friend zone.
Chu Chu gasped for breath and slowly shook her head.
”In that case, rest well and try to recover from your injury. No need to overthink stuff. Things will work out by themselves. If you don't have the strength to change some things, you should let them take their own course.” Before leaving, Purple Mist consoled Chu Chu a bit and stretched.
Chu Chu resisted the pain with much difficulty and heaved a sigh. ”Things will work out by themselves, huh...? But wouldn't things have changed a bit if I had partic.i.p.ated in the battle? Now, I can't even do that…”
❄️❄️❄️
Riverly Purple Mist summoned a huge rosy cloud and put Wolf One and company on it, leaving the island.
This rosy cloud was a flight-type treasure. Although its speed couldn't be compared to that of a flying sword, its cargo capacity was much greater. One was like a racing car, the other like a big bus.
After Riverly Purple Mist left, Venerable White and the others didn't leave the small island immediately. For some unknown reason, Senior White decided to spend some more time there.
Night approached, and the moon and the stars shone brightly in the sky.
Since Venerable White decided against leaving the island, Song Shuhang and others could only pa.s.s the night there.
