The Ghost Clan was one of the Hundred Clans of the Great Wilderness. They fed on the souls, flesh, and blood of humans. They were not like the formless souls of Xiao Chen's previous world, the Great Technological Era. The Ghost Clan of this mainland did not seem to be a pure soul body. They had flesh and blood, and were a special life race that existed between flesh and soul. They were incomparably evil and controlled the hearts and souls of humans.
Seeing that his wife's expression had softened, Xue Sha, who was beside him, gently extended his hand into the coffin. Over the past few years, it had been difficult for him to touch her body because of the rampant Ghost Qi. In fact, in the past year, he had not even opened the stone coffin in order to prevent the Ghost Qi from wreaking havoc.
At this moment, Xiao Chen and the others did not disturb Xue Sha. Even the little pony at the side suddenly blinked its large golden eyes. It was extremely puzzled by the actions of the person in front of it. Could this be eaten?
In his young mind, the pills that Xiao Chen had taken out were the most important.
After a long time, Xiao Chen finally spoke, "Brother Xue, your wife has been corroded by the Ghost Qi of the Ghost Clan and her internal organs have been injured. Right now, I am only absorbing the Ghost Qi from her body. However, this does not solve the root of the problem. Before long, the Ghost Qi will once again spread throughout her body. At this moment, Xiao Chen does not have the confidence to cure her!"
"Today, I am already extremely grateful to Clan Leader Xiao for your help. I am well aware of my wife's illness. If not for Clan Leader Xiao's help, I'm afraid she would not have been able to hold on for a year. I have also caused Clan Leader Xiao to lose so many pills. I don't know how much these pills are worth. Even if I have to traverse the entire Desolate Ancient Forest, I will find medicinal herbs to forge materials to repay the debt.
"Brother Xue, have you ever thought about what you would do if the Ghost Qi in your wife's body could not be suppressed with ordinary pills!"
"This …!"
Xue Sha was suddenly at a loss for words. Yes, if he could not suppress it, could he just watch as his wife was swallowed up by the Ghost Qi and even turned into an evil spirit?
Fortunately, he reacted in the next moment and hurriedly said, "Could it be that Patriarch Xiao has a way? As long as my wife can recover, I am willing to be your servant!"
This price could not be said to be small. As a powerful martial artist, who would be willing to be someone else's servant and crawl at someone else's feet for the rest of their life? And this Xue Sha's bargaining chip for his true love could not be said to be small.
Xue Sha's actions played into Xiao Chen's hands. Otherwise, why would he continue to wait here for Xue Sha? After Xue Sha snatched away his bronze war chariot, how could he just let the matter rest? However, after understanding Xue Sha's past, he had a different thought.
If he wanted to take something, he must first give it. As someone who had experienced the influence of the materialistic desires of the later generations, Xiao Chen came up with this plan. However, Xiao Chen did not deceive Xue Sha. With his current strength, he could not cure his wife's recovery. Unfortunately, she had been corroded by the Ghost Qi for too long. At this moment, he could only ensure that the Ghost Qi did not spread and slow down the illness.
Since the destruction of Xue Sha's tribe, he had been wandering in the Great Wilderness. He did not have a fixed place to stay, and all he did was search for herbs to treat his wife. To be able to reach the late stage of the Blood Refining Realm while wandering, and he was not more than 40 years old, in the entire Great Wilderness, the younger generation was not ordinary. If Xiao Chen's Gu Yuan Tribe absorbed this person, it was not impossible for them to cultivate a Heaven Building martial artist in the future.
Moreover, Xue Sha valued relationships and righteousness. Just the sincerity he showed for his wife was enough to show. Not only that, Xue Sha came from a tribe that was weaker than the Gu Yuan Tribe, but he had achieved so much in just a few years. How could he be simple?
As long as Xue Sha's temperament could be seen, Xiao Chen was not afraid that he had secrets. The more secrets one had, the more potential one had. If a person could be seen through from top to bottom, it also meant that this martial artist had no potential or future to speak of. If everything was seen through, and the life and death of cultivation were controlled by others, how could one even talk about pursuing the peak of martial arts? Their growth would also be limited.
"I wonder if Brother Xue is willing to join my Gu Yuan Tribe!" Xiao Chen did not hide anything and asked directly.
When Xue Sha heard this, he knew that this was Xiao Chen's condition. There was no such thing as a free hand in the world. He lowered his head and looked at the slender figure in the white jade coffin. The slender figure was constantly being corroded by the ghostly Qi, causing a deep pain in his heart. As long as he could make her open her eyes, so what if he became a slave?
With a thought, Xue Sha raised his head and looked at Xiao Chen, staring into his eyes. From Xiao Chen's eyes, he saw sincerity and magnanimity. Such a gaze seemed to let him see the depths of Xiao Chen's heart, straight to the source.
After a long time, Xue Sha came back to his senses and said, "In order to find medicine for my wife in this Vast Wilderness, I have also wandered for many years in order to help her recover. However, after so many years, I have found nothing. Instead, the ghost energy has become even more rampant. Fortunately, I met Chief Xiao. As long as Chief Xiao can help my wife recover, if Chief Xiao doesn't mind, Xue Sha is willing to work for the tribe and never leave you!"
At this moment, Xue Sha could be said to have been forced into a corner. At this moment, he saw his wife's condition worsening, but he was helpless. Now that he had met Xiao Chen, who was a pharmacist, there was no doubt that he had reached the end of his rope, but there was a glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel. Moreover, Xiao Chen even had a way to save his wife.
Looking at Xue Sha's expression, Xiao Chen knew that there was still a trace of doubt in his heart. After all, he was concerned about the life of his loved one, so it was normal for him to be a little worried.
"Brother Xue, don't worry. Your wife's body has been corroded by the ghost energy for a long time, and her body has long been overdrawn. Not to mention the difficulty of finding fire or lightning attribute medicinal herbs, they are even more dangerous and hard to endure. In my opinion, why don't we use pills to slowly absorb the ghost energy in her body? Once the ghost energy in her body is half gone, we can use other pills. This process might take more than a year, what does Brother Xue think?"
Before he finished speaking, another five porcelain bottles appeared in Xiao Chen's hand. He opened the bottle stopper, and a rich medicinal fragrance wafted out, immediately causing everyone to quiver. The little pony at the side even ran forward, wanting to taste it. The medicinal power of this pill was too strong, and there were even traces of enshrouding the surface of the pill.
These were the pills that Xiao Chen had refined for use in the Blood Refining Realm. He had even added a kind of thousand-year-old spirit medicine into them, so they could be said to be exceptionally precious. The eyes of the Five Heaven Raising Tigers also sparkled. If it was not for the fact that they knew that they were no match for Xiao Chen, they might have rushed forward to snatch them. With their strength, they could already feel that these pills were very helpful to their current realm.
In the next moment, ignoring the few scorching gazes, Xiao Chen flicked his finger, and five round pills filled with dense mist were flicked into the white jade stone coffin. To him, these five pills might be exceptionally precious to others, but to him, they were just ordinary. If it was not for the fact that thousand-year-old spirit medicine was hard to find, he would have long given these pills to the Blood Refining Realm warriors as the tribe's welfare as a salary.
Boom!
The white jade stone coffin closed once again, and Xiao Chen casually said, "Brother Xue, with these five Blood Refining Realm pills, your wife will be safe for a month. Next month, when she has absorbed enough ghost Qi, we can take them out and replace them with new pills. This way, after a year, the ghost Qi will be more than half removed!"
What!
Hearing this, everyone could not help but exclaim in surprise. Five priceless Blood Refining Realm pills could only support her for a month, and it had to last for a year. This meant that a total of 60 Blood Refining Realm pills had been used. With 60 pills, even a pig could reach the peak of the Blood Refining Realm. Who could afford to spend so much? For the sake of Xue Sha, Xiao Chen's spending could not be said to be small.
Waving his hand to stop Xue Sha from bowing, Xue Sha could not help but feel extremely grateful for Xiao Chen's actions. He, who had a cold personality, did not know how to thank Xiao Chen at this moment. Fortunately, the strange movements of the Five Heaven Raising Tigers broke his awkward silence.
Xiao Chen saw a stout man with a yellow tiger skin around his waist. With the urging of the four brothers behind him, the stout man walked over to Xiao Chen.
"Chief Xiao, um … does your tribe need to hire warriors? Every month, we five brothers only need five pills as remuneration, and we will work like slaves for your tribe!"
Hearing this, Xiao Chen smiled and did not say anything.
"Um, Chief Xiao, how about three pills a month?"
Similarly, Xiao Chen smiled and did not say anything.
"Two!
Two!
I can't go any lower than two! "
