The Healer Demands Payment!

Chapter 86

The blaze gradually went out, and simultaneously, the medicinal fragrance in the small bronze cauldron had become very strong. A burst of smoke spread out before quickly converged into the center of the cauldron, all blended into a small pill.

Finally, everything became tranquil again, leaving a small, dark blue round pill inside the bronze cauldron. A smile appeared on the corner of Meng Qi's lips, and she bent down to take the pill.

Meng Qi had just taken out the Cangmingsan Pill when suddenly, the bronze cauldron let out a soft click. Unable to withstand the powerful fire, the cauldron began to crack. In no time, it broke into countless small pieces and scattered on the ground.

Meng Qi: "..."

She looked with distress at the cauldron that had accompanied her for almost a year. But she quickly stood up, Cangmingsan Pill in hand, and shouted: "Ji Wujiong!"

When she had been refining the pill, Meng Qi was completely in focus and did not dare to be distracted at all. Now she finally looked at Ji Wujiong again, the situation didn't seem to be good. Ji Wujiong was panting hard, the narrow black saber in his left hand, with eyes staring ahead. His face was pale, which made his scars even more conspicuous. His right hand hung on his side, fingertips dripped with blood. His amethyst eight trigram compass spiraled around him; its purple light flashed quickly. Meng Qi actually could see a worry from the compass. The compass was just a magic tool with no living soul, but it probably had followed its master for a long time and gradually became connected with each other.

Ji Wujiong heard Meng Qi's call, but did not look back. He let out a cold sneer and kept staring at the Tengshe Sect leader.

Tengshe sect leader floated arrogantly in the air. The originally despondent disciples standing behind him had also regained their fighting spirits. Their faces were rosy, as if victory was already in their hands.

On Meng Qi and Ji Wujiong's side, only five Nascent Soul sword cultivators remained. The rest were six or seven Golden Core cultivators, who could barely stand behind the five sword cultivators. However, there were more wounds on their body, and all of them looked shaky as if they could be blown away at any moment.

The gaze of Tengshe Sect leader swept across gloomily. He actually wasn't as unperturbed as in the beginning. A large part of his right sleeve was scorched black, and on his exposed arm, there was still a bleeding wound, looked extremely hideous.

"Give me the pill!" Ji Wujiong inhaled deeply and slowly took a step back.

Tengshe Sect leader snorted coldly. He lifted his left hand, on which the green phosphorous snake was coiling on the wrist, and waved it.

The green phosphorous snake pounced towards Meng Qi. Only then she realized that, like its owner, the snake had also been injured quite a bit. Half of its head was missing; its remaining one eye shone coldly. Not only that, but many of its scales had also gone, exposing its tender white flesh in many places.

With a loud hiss, the green phosphorous snake bit towards Meng Qi when suddenly, a circle of white light appeared around her.

The array left by Ji Wujiong responded quickly and protected Meng Qi.

"Don't come out!" Ji Wujiong reminded hurriedly.

"Okay." Meng Qi stared at the green phosphorous snake with burning eyes. Her medicine cauldron had been broken, and she had no way to make a second Cangmingsan Pill. Meng Qi took a deep breath and gripped the pill in her palm. The footwork done by the five sword cultivators immediately flashed through Meng Qi's mind. She moved her feet, then quickly rushed out of the array.
