Chapter 87

When Meng Qi woke up, the sky was already bright. Strands of black threads hang down in the air, sheltering her from the sun. Meng Qi looked up and saw Ji Wujiong's black saber floating in front of her eyes. Under the bright sunlight, the saber looked old and dull, no longer so mysterious. Meng Qi's eyes silently fixed on the weird patterns on the saber's handle for a while before she slowly returned to her senses. Yesterday, they killed Tengshe sect leader and his men, successfully saving Fengyu Town from the danger of total destruction. They also saved the lives of the ordinary people living in Fengyu Town...

So, did it mean they had completed the mission? Meng Qi sat up, wondering.

Ji Wujiong's black saber seemed to have consciousness. As Meng Qi got up, it jumped aside. Floating lightly in the air, the saber leaned its handle towards Meng Qi. Rather than a weapon, it was a bit like a little spirit beast who wanted to please its owner and asked to be touched.

Meng Qi was amused by her own thoughts and subconsciously smiled. She reached out her hand and lightly prodded the saber's handle. It was icy cold. Just a light contact with fingertips was enough to send a blast of chill into her bones.

"You woke up?" Ji Wujiong's voice came from behind.

Meng Qi turned her head and saw the black-robed young man sitting lazily on the grass. Although he didn't sit cross-legged, she could see that he was in the middle of cultivating. Both of his hands faced upwards, and strands of black misty aura slowly rose from his palms.

Meng Qi's eyes fell on Ji Wujiong's face. She didn't know whether it was just her feeling or an impression made by the bright sunlight, but the hideous black scars on the his face seemed to look lighter than before. "Are you okay?" Meng Qi asked as she stood up. Cangmingsan Pill was very potent. Ji Wujiong looked okay now, but she couldn't tell whether he was feeling better after a night.

The black-robed young man raised his eyes and said, "I'm okay." After a pause, he said again: "Did someone from Canglang give you that Cangmingsan formula?"

Meng Qi did not reply.

"I've heard the name of Cangmingsan Pill and also heard that a medical sect located near the sea in Southern Realm is very skilled in refining this pill, which can forcibly raise someone's cultivation base to the peak in a short duration." Ji Wujiong continued. "Unexpectedly, you can refine it."

Meng Qi lightly stretched her body, refusing to talk about Canglang Academy with Ji Wujiong.

"You have reached the fourth rank of medical cultivation?"

"Yes." There was nothing to hide about, so Meng Qi nodded.

"How high is your current cultivation base? The fifth realm of Foundation Establishment stage?" Ji Wujiong glanced at Meng Qi. "Yet your medical cultivation has reached the fourth rank? Tsk...that Xue clan from Feng Alliance is very skillful at boasting. That little girl from their family was praised to heaven, saying that she is a medical genius who hardly appears once in centuries. They are really proud of her for entering the fourth rank of medical cultivation soon after reaching the Golden Core stage. Tsk, tsk, tsk...I really want to take you to Xue clan for a walk and let those old people's faces turn blue. Hahahaha!"

Meng Qi: "..."

She ignored Ji Wujiong and walked towards the small bronze cauldron that was broken after being used to refine Cangmingsan Pill yesterday. This cauldron wasn't expensive nor rare, but had accompanied her for a long time. Meng Qi bent down and gently stroked the broken fragments on the ground. After being left out for one night, the surface of the fragments was a bit damp.

Ji Wujiong, still sat in the same place, turned at her: "It's just an ordinary cauldron. No need to feel distressed. After we leave this place, I will find a few good cauldrons so you can choose as you like."
