This guy was that annoying sword-obsessed guy who always liked to appear and disappear mysteriously. However, his strength was undeniable. But initially, he clearly said there was no other way besides the Soul-Returning Grass, so why did he suddenly show up now claiming there was another method?
“Young man, what method do you have? If you can wake Xiaodie up, I’m willing to pay any amount of money!” Qin Shousheng quickly said, as if he had seen a savior.
Who knew the sword-wielding man would frown at Qin Shousheng and say, “Young man? I could be your grandfather’s grandfather! How dare you call me young man!”
Qin Shousheng’s face darkened instantly. After all, he was a high-ranking member of the Qin family. Being spoken to like this by a young man, it was only natural for him to be angry!
However, I actually believed the sword-wielding man’s words. After all, those who practiced cultivation couldn’t be understood with ordinary thinking.
He was, at the very least, an early-stage Sun Crown level expert. Reaching that level definitely couldn’t be achieved in just over a decade.
“What?! You said you’d pay any amount? Well then, I’m definitely helping with this!” That sword-carrying idiot suddenly exclaimed excitedly.
D’mn, are people in the cultivation world really this obsessed with money? Last time, he was hired by Zhao Gao with money. How could someone so easily swayed by wealth cultivate to such a level?
Qin Shousheng, however, was still hung up on the earlier comment, especially since the sword-wielding man had never demonstrated his skills in front of him.
I whispered to Qin Shousheng, “Uncle Qin, don’t be angry. He really is much older than you. You should know that in this world, some people have particularly long lifespans…”
“You mean he’s a Heaven rank master?!” Qin Shousheng said with a surprised expression.
I was stunned for a moment. ‘Could it be that reaching Heaven rank in martial arts also extends lifespan?’ But from Qin Shousheng’s words, it seemed that things like cultivation were still beyond their knowledge.
“Something like that. Listen to him, and Qin Mengdie will definitely be saved!” I sighed and said to Qin Shousheng.
To be honest, my trust in the sword-wielding man’s ability was almost blind. Since I started cultivating, he was the strongest expert I’d encountered. Just by observing me, he could figure out Mei’er’s situation.
Moreover, like that old man back then, he said confusing things about me being a Nine-Life Saint.
But the feeling he gave me was even stronger than that old man!
Hearing this, Qin Shousheng’s attitude toward the sword-wielding man completely changed. With a respectful expression, he said, “If you can wake Xiaodie up, senior, my Qin family will definitely reward you heavily!”
“Senior your sister! Do I look that old?!” Who knew that calling him “senior” would offend him again.
Qin Shousheng was immediately left speechless.
“Stop spouting nonsense! Didn’t you say only Soul-Returning Grass could save Qin Mengdie? Why are you saying there’s another method now?” I looked at the sword-wielding man and asked doubtfully.
The sword-wielding man looked at me playfully and said, “Back then, you asked me what you could do. The only thing you could do was search for the Soul-Returning Grass. You didn’t ask me if I could save her! Besides, you didn’t mention payment back then either!”
D*mn! This is totally screwing me over!
Seeing that I was a little angry, the sword-wielding man smiled and said, “I’ll go in to save her. Except for you, have everyone else leave!”
“I’ll immediately go call everyone out!” Upon hearing that the sword-wielding man was really going to save Qin Mengdie, Qin Shousheng’s face instantly lit up with a smile. After hurriedly saying a few words, he returned to the ward and called out Sister Lin and the others.
“Let’s go!” The sword-wielding man looked at me and said with a smile.
I nodded and prepared to follow him into the ward, but Tang Shuyao tugged at me, asking with a worried expression, “Narcissist, can this person really save Mengdie?”
“He can. Believe me!” I took a deep breath, assuring Tang Shuyao, though I actually had no confidence in my heart because this sword-wielding man was almost never serious.
Once in the ward, the sword-wielding man first told me to lock the door, then went to Qin Mengdie’s bedside.
I thought he would start the treatment directly, but who knew this guy actually started taking off Qin Mengdie’s clothes!
D*mn! Soul damage shouldn’t have anything to do with taking off clothes, right?
“Hey! What are you doing?!” I shouted angrily at the sword-wielding man.
The sword-wielding man was startled, quickly retracting his hand, then said with a smile, “Professional habit, professional habit!”
Professional habit? Come on! What profession involves taking off other people’s clothes first?!
“How are you planning to save her?” I looked at the sword-wielding man and asked doubtfully.
The sword-wielding man smiled: “Brother has been rolling around in the cultivation world for so many years. Treating a little soul damage is a piece of cake!”
“Do me a favor. If you really wake Qin Mengdie up, charge a little less for the treatment!” I said to the sword-wielding man. After all, the main reason for Qin Mengdie’s soul damage ultimately lay with me.
Who knew the sword-wielding man would be unhappy upon hearing this: “D*mn! A favor? Can favors be eaten? Besides, respect is earned, not given! And anyway, are we that familiar?”
The sword-wielding man’s words left me speechless. To be honest, I’d only met him three times, and each meeting was brief. I didn’t really know him well, so he indeed didn’t need to do me any favors.
Seeing that I wasn’t speaking, the sword-wielding man continued: “Nowadays, doctors only treat patients if they have money. Some people even end up chatting with the King of Hell because they can’t pay their medical bills. The fact that I’m treating first and collecting payment later is already giving you face! Seriously, there are very few veterinarians with as much medical ethics as me nowadays!”
“Damn! Veterinarian?!” I suddenly felt that this sword-wielding man was definitely a scammer.
The sword-wielding man was stunned for a moment, then quickly said: “Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue! Professional habit, don’t mind it!”
‘He’s relating this to professional habit again?’ If it weren’t for his high level of cultivation, I would’ve started suspecting this guy was insane!
“First, feed her this Nine Revolutions Soul-Returning Pill!” The sword-wielding man handed me a pill.
For some reason, looking at this pill, I kept feeling like it looked like a hawthorn berry pill.
“This isn’t a hawthorn berry pill, is it?” I sniffed it; the smell really was somewhat like a hawthorn berry pill.
Hearing this, the sword-wielding man said somewhat unhappily: “What hawthorn berry pill? I even added some digestive tablets to it!”
“Digestive tablets?!” D*mn! What the hell kind of Nine Revolutions Soul-Returning Pill is this?!
“Ha… haha…” The sword-wielding man forced a dry laugh, then said: “No, I’m joking! Just joking!” Seeing that I still looked doubtful, he frowned: “Do you still want to save her or not? Hurry up and feed it to her!”
“Alright!” Saving Qin Mengdie was urgent now. Regardless of whether the pill was real or not, as long as it could cure Qin Mengdie, it was fine.
After saying that, I gently pried open Qin Mengdie’s mouth and placed the pill inside.
“Leave the rest to me!” The sword-wielding man smiled, then suddenly turned serious. He formed a hand seal, palm facing upward. Powerful True Qi fluctuations instantly filled the entire room.
Monster! For this sword-carrying guy, I could only describe him with these two words, or perhaps freak!
Filling the entire ward with True Qi in an instant—this simply wasn’t something a human could do! I even suspected this guy might have already become an immortal!
At this moment, the sword-wielding man’s palm was completely enveloped in white light. Then, he suddenly slapped his hand toward Qin Mengdie’s head.
The intense white light was so dazzling I could barely keep my eyes open. Only after the white light faded did I slowly open my eyes.
I don’t know when, but the sword-wielding man had taken out a box of hawthorn berries and was eating them while saying: “Done!”
“That’s it?” I said somewhat incredulously, taking a hawthorn berry from the box and eating it myself.
“Yep!” The sword-wielding man said nonchalantly.
While chewing the hawthorn berry, I said: “Your Nine Revolutions Soul-Returning Pill isn’t just hawthorn berries, is it?”
“You…” The sword-wielding man seemed excited, but halfway through, he straightened his face: “How could it be! That was the Nine Revolutions Soul-Returning Pill, refined from ninety-nine eighty-one precious spiritual herbs. How could it possibly be hawthorn berries!” After saying that, he put away the hawthorn berries in his hand.
Regardless of whether the Nine Revolutions Soul-Returning Pill was hawthorn berries or not, as long as it could wake Qin Mengdie up, it was fine!
“Hmm?” Just as I thought this, a sound came from Qin Mengdie’s hospital bed.
I turned around to look—Qin Mengdie had actually really woken up!
