Chapter 5305

As the two were talking, Hu Mazi came stumbling over with his head bandaged like a dumpling, his face brimming with excitement. “Kai! I’m fine! That old guy’s Holy Light Bullet only looks scary, not half as powerful as your Dragon Slaying Sword!”

“Be careful with your wounds.”

Kai shook his head helplessly. This guy always forgets the pain after the wound has healed.

Hu Mazi waved his hand nonchalantly and pulled out a dark clay pot from his bosom. “Look what I brought you! This is an ointment made with the inner elixir of the purple crystal toad from the Ten Thousand Poison Valley. It’s specially made to treat all kinds of injuries. Apply it and I guarantee you’ll be able to pick up a sword and chop people tomorrow!”

Looking at the green paste bubbling in the pottery jar, Kai’s eyes twitched: “Are you sure this isn’t poison?”

“Hey, you don’t trust me?”

Hu Mazi was anxious. He grabbed a piece of gravel and smeared the ointment on it. The stone suddenly emitted green smoke. “Look, even stone can be corroded. It’s perfect for cleaning wounds!”

Kai: “…”

At this moment, Li Chunfeng’s voice rang out from outside the courtyard: “Mr. Chen, there is no rush to heal your wounds.”

He walked in slowly, holding a jade box in his hand. “This is the ‘Concentrated Jade Marrow’ from Sword Saint City. It’s very beneficial for repairing meridians.”

The moment the jade box was opened, a refreshing fragrance filled the air. The semi-fluid milky white liquid in the box was slowly rotating, and faint traces of spiritual energy could be seen condensing into mist.

Kai’s pupils shrank slightly. This kind of treasure might not even be found in three boxes in the entire Fifth Heaven.

“I dare not accept such a valuable gift.” Kai stood up and declined.

Li Chunfeng pressed the jade box into his hands and said, “Mr. Chen has given me a new life. Why should I bother with such mundane things?”

He paused, his tone becoming serious. “Excalibur Villa seems to be making a move. Mr. Chen, it would be best if you could recover your strength as quickly as possible. If there’s any unusual movement, just shout my name in the direction of the City Lord’s Mansion.”

After saying this, he transformed into a white rainbow and disappeared into the night, leaving only a few faint words echoing in the courtyard: “Rest assured and recuperate, Sword Saint City is fine for now.”

Looking at the chalcedony slowly flowing in the jade box, Kai felt mixed emotions.

For the next three days, the Sword Sect’s headquarters was unusually peaceful.

Kai immersed himself in healing every day. The Concentrated Jadeite was indeed worthy of its reputation. The damaged meridians healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Under the harmony of the sword energy left by Li Chunfeng, the dragon essence and the evil spirit gradually formed a delicate balance.

Mo Chen and Hu Mazi recovered a little slower. The former’s internal organs burned by the holy light needed to be slowly nurtured, while the latter suffered a backlash from forcibly activating the talisman. At this moment, he was holding a medicine jar and sighing every day.

Ling Xue and other disciples of the Sword Sect took on the responsibility of vigilance. These days, there were always groups of cultivators wandering outside the base with unfriendly looks.

“Brother Chen, there are a few unfamiliar faces sneaking around the door again today.”

Ling Xue walked into the room carrying a bowl of medicine, a look of worry on her beautiful face. “I heard from my disciples that there are rumors out there that our Sword Sect has offended the Divine Sword Villa and will be expelled from Sword Saint City sooner or later.”

Kai took the medicine and drank it all in one gulp. The bitter taste spread on the tip of his tongue. “Their mouths are on their bodies. Let them say whatever they want.”

He put down the bowl and looked at the bruise on Ling Xue’s wrist that had not yet faded. He couldn’t help but ask curiously, “How did it happen?”

Ling Xue covered her wrist and shook her head, saying, “Recently, there have been people challenging the Sword Sect. Master and Senior Brother Chen are injured, so I have no choice but to step in!”

“I’m sorry for putting you through this.” Kai reached out and gently stroked her wound. As his spiritual energy flowed, the bruise faded at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Ling Xue’s cheeks flushed slightly, and she shook her head gently: “I don’t feel wronged to be by your side.”

The life and death they had shared during these days had already made her fall deeply in love with this seemingly ordinary boy in front of her.

Just as the two were looking at each other and smiling, a quarrel suddenly came from outside the yard.
