Chapter 15

Li Ming was expressionless as he watched Duan Xiuwen get dragged away.

They were all adults and had to be responsible for what they did.

Duan Xiuwen should have known that he could end up like this when he set out to do what he did.

“Li Ming, you can go back now.”

Zhang Haofeng looked at Li Ming, his expression much gentler.

To be able to defeat a perfected level qi refinement cultivator at the fifth-level qi refinement stage and even withstand a magical artifact, his talent was considered exceedingly high.

They were all members of the Divine Will Sect. The stronger the disciples were, the more they admired them.

Especially after knowing Li Ming’s actions, he knew his limits and was very talented.

Each and every one of them looked pleased with him.

Elder Lin took out a bottle of healing medicine and handed it to Li Ming.

“We, the Divine Will Sect, have no lack of geniuses. Take this back to treat your injuries.”

Li Ming took a look and saw that it was a high-grade healing pill. He immediately thanked the elder.

“Elders, this disciple will take his leave now.”

After he said his goodbyes, he returned to his cave abode.

After Li Ming left, Zhang Haofeng called over a law enforcement disciple and asked him to record the incident for the sect elders to read.

“I think Li Ming is a good seedling,” Elder Lin said.

One of the law enforcement elders suddenly recalled, “Wait, Duan Xiuwen’s storage bag is gone…”

“Don’t worry about it,” Zhang Haofeng said casually.

With the hall master of law enforcement hall having already spoken, they did not pay it any more mind.

…

After Li Ming exited the law enforcement hall, he immediately used the Wind Lightning Steps to rush back to the cave abode in the dark of night.

The atmosphere in the Divine Will Sect was quite harmonious.

Even if Li Ming kept a low profile, it was still possible for people to kill him for treasures, plot against him, and go mad.

On the path of cultivation, there was no avoiding competition.

When facing someone like Duan Xiuwen, if he was weak, he would have been killed.

It could be seen that in the world of cultivation, great combat power was the foundation of one’s standing.

Li Ming just wanted to go back to his cave to cultivate as soon as possible.

He passed by the familiar bamboo forest.

As soon as he arrived at the door to his cave abode, he saw a figure standing there.

Who is loitering in front of my cave abode?

Li Ming’s heart tightened.

When he walked closer, he saw Chen Qingke with her bright eyes and white teeth.

It turned out that Chen Qingke had come to look for Li Ming quite a while ago, but Li Ming was not home at the time.

Just as she was about to leave, Li Ming had finally returned.

Seeing Li Ming return, Chen Qingke greeted him casually.

“Senior brother.”

“…Junior Sister Chen.”

Li Ming came to the door and pushed it open.

He had never locked the front door of this cave abode.

Chen Qingke saw Li Ming’s outstretched palm and realized that it was seriously injured. She immediately said in surprise, “Senior brother, you’re injured!”

“I was careless,” Li Ming scratched his head.

Chen Qingke was very worried. “Since you’re injured, you should get treatment as soon as possible. Hm, the medical elder is already asleep… Senior brother, I’ll help you dress your wound.”

Li Ming had fought two battles in a row today, and the second one was even a life-and-death battle. He just wanted to rest as soon as he could.

After all, as a body cultivator, his body was not so weak.

However, people like Elder Lin and Chen Qingke attached great importance to it. They firmly believed that the earlier one received treatment, the less an impact the injury would have on one’s cultivation.

Junior Sister, I’ll go to the medical elder’s place tomorrow.

“If you’re really worried, you can go with me tomorrow,” Li Ming said.

Chen Qingke patted her chest. “Sigh, senior brother, aren’t we friends? Just let me accompany you in and help you treat your wound…”

Li Ming was speechless.

Since he could not refuse, he could only follow Chen Qingke into the house.

Cheng Qingke went into Li Ming’s room and pushed him onto the bed. Then, she found some bandages and helped him bandage his wound.

“The palm is an important part of a cultivator’s body and is especially important when facing an enemy and casting spells. Senior brother, how could you be so careless?”

“Once you get injured, you have to attend to it as soon as possible. Stuff like this can leave behind hidden dangers. While it might seem fine in the early stages, it can affect you quite severely in the later stages.”

Chen Qingke wagged her finger and explained in a serious tone.

In fact, she had her doubts as well. Senior Brother Li was not at a disadvantage even against Duan Xiuwen, who was at the perfected level of the qi refinement stage.

So why would he come back injured in the middle of the night?

However, she saw that Li Ming was tired, so she did not ask.

“I actually received some medicine from Elder Lin. If you want to treat my wound, then use it together with the bandage.

Li Ming remembered the high-level medicinal pill that Elder Lin had given him.

If it was an internal injury, it could be ingested. While for external injuries, it could be applied to the injury.

After applying it, the slight pain was replaced by a cool and refreshing feeling.

“Oh? “Chen Qingke was pleasantly surprised. “With this medicinal pill, you should be fine in a few days.”

Originally, since Li Ming had faced the attack of the profound bright magic sword head-on, he was with a rather severe injury.

It would have taken some time for him to heal, but it would not take more than several days. By then, he could resume training as if nothing had happened.

While Chen Qingke was bandaging his wound…

Li Ming was simply too tired and, since he trusted Chen Qingke, as he maintained a steady pace breathing, he fell into a deep sleep.

…

“Mmh?”

When Li Ming opened his eyes, he felt very refreshed.

He looked at his right hand. The wound was carefully wrapped in a white bandage, and it did not look swollen.

He also smelled the aroma of food.

“Senior brother, you’re awake?”

“I made some dishes for you,” Chen Qingke said at the door. “Eat more demonic beast meat. It’ll help you recover.”

Li Ming was slightly stunned.

Usually, he would just deal with such an injury casually. He did not expect that Junior Sister Chen, who usually appeared to be quite carefree, would be so meticulous for such a thing.

He did not act unreasonably and got out of bed to eat.

After his hand was injured, other than the Five Divine Fists, he could still practice the rest of his cultivation techniques.

He also had the entries [Lifetime of Qi Refinement] and [Unobstructed Hundred Meridians] to help him, as well as the newly bought pills.

He would be able to return to his previous cultivation speed when he improved at a tremendous pace.

However, when Chen Qingke saw him, she would interrupt him and have him recuperate safely.

In the next few days, Junior Sister Chen would come over to take care of him every day, resulting in Li Ming living a few days of an idle life.

However, this made it so that the injury on his hand healed very quickly.

This afternoon, Chen Qingke removed the bandages for Li Ming and found that only a shallow white mark was left of the severe wound on his hand from a few days ago.

All of this was thanks to his careful recuperation over the past few days, as well as the self-recovery of his body under the effects of the healing pills.

“Alright, it should be fine now.”

“Senior brother, you have to be more careful in the future.”

Chen Qingke was also very happy to see Li Ming having healed up.

Li Ming thought for a moment, then gave her his qi sea pill and said sincerely, “Junior Sister, thank you for taking care of me these past few days.”

“If you run into any trouble, feel free to look for me.”

Chen Qingke was stunned. “Isn’t that my line? I’ll leave this qi sea pill with you, senior brother. Work hard on your cultivation.”

Even though Li Ming had defeated Duan Xiuwen in the arena that day, the fight had happened too quickly. Chen Qingke still believed that Li Ming needed to improve more than her.

“Since you’re fine, senior brother, I’ll take my leave.”

Chen Qingke left after saying that.

Looking at his junior sister’s back, Li Ming scratched his head.

It seemed that he had been looked down upon…

He had no intention of showing off. Now that his junior sister had gone back, everything returned to normal.

He could finally train properly. This time, he should be able to cultivate in peace for a period of time.
