Humanity’s Great Sage

in the morning and came back late was that she had to go to the neighboring towns to treat the injured rogue cultivators to earn some cultivation resources.

The battles between rogue cultivators were intense, so they would get injured most of the time.
If their wounds were not severe, they could just take some Healing Pills.
If their wounds were serious, they had to seek help from a medicine cultivator.
Otherwise, they would be left with some hidden health concerns.
However, they didn’t have a great force to rely on, so their only option was to look for a medicine cultivator who was also a rogue cultivator.

In that case, Hua Ci wouldn’t have to worry about having no business.
Perhaps that was the biggest upside of being a medicine cultivator.
They didn’t have to take part in any battle in order to earn enough cultivation resources.

Under the night sky, Hua Ci shuffled towards a spot that was a short distance away from Lu Ye.
Then, she turned around and told Kong Niu to take a rest.
In this small group of rogue cultivators, Hua Ci was undoubtedly treasured and respected by everyone.
No one would disobey her orders.

Ruan Ling Yu wasn’t lying when she told Lu Ye that all of them were saved by Hua Ci.
That was indeed what had happened.
Everyone in this small group had received treatment from her before.
She single-handedly pulled them back from the death’s door.

These people owed her a favor.
After they became healthy again, they chose to stay in this place because they admired her temperament or for some other reasons.

Lu Ye stored his sword as he was already covered in sweat.
Although some blood had streamed out of his wounds, he felt more energetic after some exercise.
Furthermore, perhaps it was because he had escaped from death’s door once, he felt that his sword-wielding technique had improved significantly.
Nevertheless, he had to practise sword-wielding with someone else to be certain about it.

“Tsk… I thought I could earn more pills.
Why did he recover so quickly?” Hua Ci was heard muttering under her breath.

Lu Ye’s eyelids twitched.
“What did you say?”

After a few days of contact, they had become familiar with one another, and he had finally realized this beautiful woman’s true colors.
She was practically a miser.
Every single day, right after she was  done with treating his wounds, she would immediately demand payment from him as though she was worried that he would renege on his debt.

On the previous day, she had sold him an even more bitter herbal juice.
After drinking it, he felt as though his face had turned green.
Moreover, he was unable to suppress the bitterness he felt in his body.
Then, she introduced to him another kind of herbal juice and claimed that it could soothe his discomfort.
These two bowls of herbal juice cost him four Spirit Pills.

At that time, he even suspected that this woman was lying to him.
Nevertheless, judging from how he felt on this day, she didn’t lie to him.
The bowls of herbal juice he consumed on the previous day were indeed more effective than the previous ones.

Hua Ci flashed a uniquely charming smile at him.
Her voice remained soft and soothing, but she still had no qualms about saying words that were different from what she thought.
“I said that you’ve recovered quickly.”

Lu Ye pointed at his ear to mean that he wasn’t deaf.

Ignoring his gesture, Hua Ci placed her hands on her belly, her posture remaining as elegant as ever as she said, “In that case, I’ll formally start treating your wounds tonight.”

“What do you mean by that?” Lu Ye was stunned.
“Then the previous treatments…”

“They were just the preparations prior to the formal treatments.
Do you think your wounds can be healed so easily?” Hua Ci appeared solemn.
“Doctors are most concerned about their patients.
Don’t worry.
I’ll take good care of you and make sure that you won’t be left with any hidden health concerns.”

Lu Ye appeared befuddled as there was an idea that sprang into his mind.
[Is this woman trying to con me again?]

“Take a bath now.
I’ll get ready and look for you later.”
