Chapter 5: Heavily Injured Person

Although the Iron Bones Clang Clang Sect was a ninth-grade sect with only two members, Jun Changxiao was ultimately still the sect leader. Since a member had dared to ‘educate’ him, where was his sect leader’s prestige?

No, no.

He had to establish his prestige and make this woman understand that he was the sect leader of the Iron Bones Clang Clang Sect. He was her superior!

“Cough, cough.” Jun Changxiao moistened his throat. He placed his hands behind his back and solemnly said, “Qianqian, those words are wrong. It’s true that we cannot be merciful to our enemies.

“But, you must note that

“We cultivators cultivate our dao, as well as our hearts.

“If we bully others due to us being stronger, we are no different from an evil tyrant.

“In addition, they are just a few rubbish disciples and don’t constitute the slightest threat to this seat. If I kill them, it will definitely cause our sect’s prestige to fall.”

Ding!

“Congratulations, host, for completing the side mission. Obtained 1 sect contribution point!”

Ding!

“Sect contribution points: 5/100”

It was completed like that?

Jun Changxiao had a dumbfounded look on his face.

He initially thought he had to unleash all his verbal prowess and completely convince Lu Qianqian before it could be considered a successful mission.

Actually, because this mission did not have any strict conditions, as long as Jun Changxiao displayed prestige belonging to the sect master, he would complete it.

Whether Lu Qianqian agreed with his words or not, that has nothing to do with him.

From the gaze she shot Jun Changxiao, it felt like she was looking at an idiot. Jun Changxiao knew that this woman was not convinced at all.

“I understand now,” Lu Qianqian said. “Since you feel it would damage the reputation and prestige of our sect if you were to personally kill these trash, sect leader, let me substitute you and kill them for you then.”

Keng!

Her long sword was unsheathed, emitting cold qi.

Jun Changxiao almost broke down. “Qianqian, you didn’t understand my words. This seat means that

“Oi, oi, don’t go!

“Lu Qianqian, you are a woman. Women should have the appearance of women; you shouldn’t keep thinking about fighting and killing!”

Lu Qianqian halted. Her beautiful eyes flashed with a cold intent as she asked, “Who set the rules saying that women cannot fight or kill?”

She was very beautiful.

From Jun Changxiao’s current angle, there were no flaws in her beauty at all.

But the cold intent and killing aura that flashed through her eyes caused his heart to tremble. He silently mused, She is definitely a woman with a story!

Lu Qianqian had joined the Iron Bones Clang Clang Sect, but Jun Changxiao was completely ignorant of her identity and origins.

He had once wondered if he should find some time to ask her about herself, but after a short period of interaction, he discovered that her personality was as cold as ice. Hence, he decided to drop the notion.

It was not easy to interact with women that had icy personalities. It was best to antagonize them as little as possible!

“Qianqian.” Jun Changxiao smiled. “Sheathe your sword.”

Keng!

Lu Qianqian retracted her sword and calmly said, “You are the sect leader. I must follow your orders. But please remember not to despise or look down in contempt at women.”

Despise? Jun Changxiao was speechless. I don’t want you to fight or kill because I’m worried that you might meet danger.

Jun Changxiao felt that as a sect leader, he truly did not have much prestige at all. That was because he could not see any respect or reverence from the only female member of the sect.

How could he make her respect him?

Jun Changxiao pondered, but he did not manage to think of a good solution. He then decisively stopped thinking about this. He opened his attributes panel and looked at the five contribution points while silently musing, I wonder if I can exchange them for anything in the merchant store.

He skipped over the newbie segment store and directly went into the low-grade segment. An array of items appeared before his eyes.

“Fireball charm – requires 10 contribution points!

“Icecone charm – requires 10 contribution points!

“Low-grade Ice Edge Sword – requires 10 contribution points!

“Nine Layers Collapsing Fist – requires 10 contribution points!”

“” Jun Changxiao only had five contribution points. Everything he saw required ten contribution points. He could not help feeling disheartened.

There was nothing cheap?

There was nothing that could be purchased with one contribution point?

Yes!

Jun Changxiao continued to watch. He discovered that on the shelf that was furthest back, there was an item where he could purchased for just one contribution point. The name of the item was ‘low-grade recovery pill’!

He was not injured at all, so it was useless if he bought this item.

He would only take it if it was free. He did not want to purchase it.

In the low-grade store segment, other than the low-grade recovery pill, all other items required ten points at the minimum to buy. This caused Jun Changxiao to feel extremely helpless.

Sigh.

He could only head to Qingyang City and recruit more disciples to gain more contribution points.

Ga!

Lu Qianqian, who was walking ahead, abruptly halted. Her jade hands lightly touched her sword hilt as her willow brows creased into a frown. “There’s someone here.”

“Someone?”

Jun Changxiao hurriedly glanced over. He discovered that this place was a normal pathway. Other than rocks and trees on both sides of the path, there was no one else there.

He did not feel that Lu Qianqian would joke with him, so he asked, “Where’s the person?”

Lu Qianqian did not say anything. From the start, she was paying attention to a grassy area beside the path.

Jun Changxiao followed her line of sight. He could see some slight movements in the grassy area. It was like there was something there. He could not help but ask in trepidation, “Could there be a savage beast?”

Humans were not only the life forms on the Fallen Star Continent. There were savage beasts as well. Although they did not cultivate the martial dao, their strength was extremely formidable.

On their journey, Jun Changxiao had encountered a savage beast with strength equal to the Martial Apprentice Realm in the wilderness.

That physique, that power

It could shatter stones and trees with ease!

After witnessing the terrifying strength of savage beasts in this world, Sect Leader Jun had naturally decided to take a detourthe path ahead was covered in urine, which was not suitable to walk on.

“It isn’t a savage beast,” Lu Qianqian said. “It’s a human.”

“Human?” Jun Changxiao heaved a sigh of relief after hearing the confirmation.

As long as they did not encounter a savage beast that could crush stones and blast trees apart, there was nothing much to worry about.

Sect Leader Zhang swaggered over, pushing aside the shrubbery. A while later, he saw a cultivator covered entirely in blood lying on the ground.

It was not simply a human.

It was a heavily injured human!

Lu Qianqian also walked over. “He is heavily injured.”

As they spoke, she loosened her grip on her sword hilt. She inclined her head and stared at the sky. “It’s going to be dark soon. We should make haste on our journey.”

“Are we not going to save him?” Jun Changxiao blurted out.

Lu Qianqian stared at him as one would look at an idiot. “Are you planning to save him?”

Jun Changxiao smiled. “Saving the life of someone will garner greater merit than building a seven-story pagoda.”

Lu Qianqian calmly replied, “Who knows if he was hunted by his enemies. If you save him, you might bring huge trouble to yourself and the sect.”

Even though he had crossed-over, Jun Changxiao also understood this logic.

He squatted down and pulled at the robes of the injured man. “Do you feel that the injuries on his back are caused by humans?”

Lu Qianqian shook her head. “It’s a claw injury.”

“So, he was injured by a savage beast, not human enemies.” Jun Changxiao smiled.

Lu Qianqian acknowledged that, but she still calmly continued, “This person is too heavily injured and might die. You are not skilled in the dao of medicine. How can you save him?”

“Although this seat doesn’t know anything about the dao of medicine” Jun Changxiao spread his palm open as he laughed. “I have a recovery pill.”

Lu Qianqian narrowed her eyes. There was a peanut-sized alchemy pill. She then stated, “From its color and luster, this pill is undoubtedly an ordinary one. Can it even save someone who is so heavily injured?”

“Whether it can or not, we will know after trying it.”

Jun Changxiao turned the injured person over. He pried the person’s mouth open and exerted his spirit qi slightly, pushing the pill down the person’s throat, allowing the pill to enter his body.

Lu Qianqian did not say anything.

This person did not only have external injuries, he also suffered internal injuries. Ordinary recovery pills would not be able to heal him.

“Cough! Cough!”

All of a sudden, the unconscious person coughed lightly. His closed eyelids fluttered before opening with difficulty.

Did he awaken?

Amazement appeared in Lu Qianqian’s beautiful eyes.

Jun Changxiao grinned. “Seems like the effect of my recovery pill isn’t bad, right?”
