Under Xiao Jin's full speed, a month later, Ling Xiao finally left the Southern Demon Region and arrived at the Wanhua Sect's territory.
The Wanhua Sect was a sect formed entirely by women. The entire sect was made up of female disciples, and all of them were bewitching beauties.
The Wanhua Sect was not an evil sect that survived by seducing men. They were one of the twenty great powers, and they were a very disciplined sect. Basically, it was very rare to hear of a woman from the Wanhua Sect having any scandals with other men.
However, the women of the Ten Thousand Flower Sect weren't old virgins who would never marry for their entire lives. The sect allowed them to marry outside of the sect, but once they did, their status in the Ten Thousand Flower Sect would drop and they would be assigned to a position outside of the sect. Their men were also not allowed to take a single step into the Ten Thousand Flower Sect unless the man was also a member of one of the 20 factions.
This had always been the rule of the Wanhua Sect, and no one dared to break it.
After all, the Wanhua Sect was able to become one of the eighteen great powers, so their foundation was naturally extraordinary.
Ling Xiao arrived at a city at the border of the Wanhua Sect. He originally wanted to leave from here, but he suddenly heard something that piqued his interest.
"Have you heard? An old sect master of the Wanhua Sect is seriously injured, and her life is in danger. If anyone can save her life, the Wanhua Sect's' Xue Yue 'Twin Flowers are willing to be slaves, and they will also receive a satisfactory reward!"
"You mean the two sisters, Hua Feixue and Hua Piao Yue?
The most famous pair of flowers in our Southern Abyss? "
"That's right. It is said that the old sect master is their great teacher, and for some reason, he was seriously injured and only has seven days to live. Now that two days have passed, the people in their sect are powerless, and they don't have enough time to ask the old sect master of the Medicine Sect for help or the Spirit Martial Pavilion for help. They can only announce the news here, hoping to attract the help of a high level alchemist."
"That requires a grade eight pill, and how many people in the central region can refine it? Moreover, with such a short time, I'm afraid …"
"The 'Xue Yue' Twin Flowers are said to be the future sect master. Both of them are as beautiful as flowers, and they are devastatingly beautiful. It would be too miserable to have them serve others."
"I heard that many alchemists have already rushed over, but without a grade eight alchemist, I'm afraid everything will be in vain."
…
In the restaurant, Ling Xiao listened to the discussions of the people around him. It wasn't easy for him to not know what happened in the Wanhua Sect.
Listening to these people's discussions, Ling Xiao understood that the Wanhua Sect was now asking for an eighth rank heaven defying pill to save someone.
It was easy to imagine how serious the injury of the person who needed to use the Eighth Grade Medicinal Pill was. At the very least, it had reached a half-dead state. Even the various kinds of Spirit Liquids could not save him.
"Brother, what's going on with the Wanhua Sect's Old Sect Leader? Does he need an eighth-rank medicinal pill to survive?"
After listening for a long time, Ling Xiao still didn't know what kind of injuries the Old Sect Master had suffered. He had no choice but to ask the people at the next table.
Ling Xiao wasn't interested in the "Xue Yue" Twin Flowers, but he was interested in the Wanhua Sect's rewards.
The foundation of such a large sect was definitely not weak. If he could help them, he would be able to form a good relationship with them and obtain many benefits.
He had offended enough enemies now, so he had to think of a way to get one or two powerful allies.
Although Ling Xiao couldn't refine an eighth-rank medicinal pill for the time being, it didn't mean he didn't have something good to save his life. The Spring of Life was a holy liquid that had a powerful effect on Saints. It was comparable to an eighth-rank healing medicinal pill. He was confident that it could save the Wanhua Sect's Old Sect Leader.
The person glanced at Ling Xiao and found that Ling Xiao had an amiable and dignified appearance. He felt that he gave off an inexplicable sense of affinity and immediately responded with a smile: "Little brother, you just arrived, right? The announcement said that the Wanhua Sect's Old Sect Leader was injured by an eighth-rank Hundred Poisons Centipede Queen. The poison has invaded her body, and no medicine can save her. Only an eighth-rank or above antidote pill can save her!"
"I see. The eighth-rank Hundred Poisons Centipede's poison is fierce. It can kill a person with just a touch. The fact that the Wanhua Sect's Old Sect Leader was able to live for seven days is a miracle!" Ling Xiao replied with a sigh.
"Isn't that so. I'm afraid that after seven days, she will … sigh!" The person said with infinite regret.
Ling Xiao chatted with the person for a while more before he stood up and left the restaurant.
"This is a little troublesome. It would be easier to handle if it was just an internal injury. This is the Hundred Poisons Centipede's poison. The poison is extremely fierce. Only an eighth-rank antidote pill can save her!" Ling Xiao muttered to himself.
The eighth-rank antidote pill was considered the most common kind of medicinal pill among the eighth-rank medicinal pills. It was easier to refine than other eighth-rank medicinal pills.
However, it was definitely not something that any seventh-rank alchemist could refine.
Ling Xiao was hesitating whether he should take this job or not.
Previously, when he had just become a low-level Mystic Thearch, he tried to refine eighth-rank medicinal pills but failed. However, in the recent three years of recuperation, he successfully refined a few half-finished eighth-rank medicinal pills.
Now that his strength had increased so much, he felt that he had some confidence in refining a genuine eighth-rank medicinal pill. Moreover, the antidote pill was the simplest kind of medicinal pill.
"Forget it, I better not get involved in this matter!"
Ling Xiao hesitated for a while but still decided not to fish for this extra profit. If he were to ruin his own reputation, it would not be worth it.
Ling Xiao made up his mind and rushed to the city's teleportation formation. He was prepared to use it to return to Wind Cloud City.
However, when he rushed to the teleportation formation, a group of people also happened to rush over. This group of people were all women with enchanting figures. They were all wearing cloaks on their heads, making it hard for others to see their faces.
They seemed to be in a hurry. All of them were walking in the air without touching the ground.
Ling Xiao glanced at them and immediately guessed that they were from the Myriad Flower Sect.
Ling Xiao did not intend to fight with them for time. He gave way and brushed past them.
The faint fragrance of the women made Ling Xiao slightly dazed. He rubbed his nose and thought to himself, "Simple and elegant fragrance. The smell is not bad. I wonder what they look like?"
Although Ling Xiao had promised his woman that he wouldn't mess around with other women, he couldn't help but take a few glances at the enchanting women in front of him. Especially when he stared at the woman in the lead. She had a full chest, a slender waist, and a round bottom. She was like a willow swaying in the wind. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Based on his many years of observation, this woman was definitely a first-class beauty.
Just as the group of women reached the teleportation formation, the woman in the lead turned around and looked in Ling Xiao's direction.
The woman made a gesture to the person who was about to throw the beast core out, stopping her. Then, the woman actually walked in Ling Xiao's direction.
Ling Xiao touched his eyebrows and thought to himself, "Could it be that this girl has fallen in love with me at first sight? This … this can't be done, this can't be done. I am a married man!"
Although Ling Xiao was thinking this, his eyes never left the woman's body. Her graceful figure, her elegant steps, all of it showed the alluring beauty of a lady from a noble family.
The woman walked faster and faster, and in a few breaths, she arrived in front of Ling Xiao. The faint fragrance of a virgin filled the air, intoxicating him.
Ling Xiao did not dare to be distracted. Although he did not feel any hostility from this woman, who knew if she was sent by his enemies to kill him?
"It really is Brother Ling … No, it should be Palace Master Ling!" The woman exclaimed with a hint of joy.
The woman's voice was soft and sweet, giving people a good impression.
"Uh … Miss, you are?" Ling Xiao hesitated for a moment.
He did not expect someone to recognize him in the Southern Abyss.
Immediately afterward, the woman pulled off the cloak on her head, revealing a delicate face that looked as if it was naturally sculpted. Her facial features were perfectly matched. Her beautiful eyes were bright, her eyelashes were long, her nose was sharp, her lips were pink and tender, and her hair was like a waterfall. She was like Chang 'e, a fairy in the full moon. She was breathtakingly beautiful.
"Palace Master Ling, do you still remember this little girl, Hua Piaoyue?" The woman asked with a smile.
Under her smile, it was difficult to hide the worry between her brows.
Hua Feixue and Hua Piaoyue were the two most beautiful flowers in the Southern Abyss. They were the leaders of the Wanhua Clan's new generation. There were countless people pursuing them.
Ling Xiao did recognize Hua Piaoyue. He had always had the ability to ignore beauties of this level.
Ling Xiao had seen her when he participated in the Imperial Ranking Tournament and before he entered the Chaotic Abyss.
"So it's Miss Hua. It's an honor to meet you!" Ling Xiao cupped his hands and replied politely.
"Palace Master Ling, you are a guest. You are now a palace master, how can our status compare to yours?" Hua Piaoyue said respectfully, then said, "I wonder where Palace Master Ling is going?"
Hua Piaoyue really didn't expect to meet Ling Xiao here. This miraculous man who had entered the Chaotic Abyss with her and won the first throne in one fell swoop had already left a deep impression on her. Later on, when she heard about Ling Xiao's various achievements, she was even more amazed. Her evaluation of Ling Xiao could be described as a "strange man".
Now that she saw him again, she could clearly see that this man actually had a handsome and extraordinary face, which made it easy for her to have a good impression of him.
Ling Xiao smiled faintly and said, "I was just passing by and was about to go back."
"Oh, this is our Wanhua Sect's territory. Palace Master Ling has come in person. If our Wanhua Sect doesn't do our best as a host, wouldn't it mean that we don't know how to treat our guests? I wonder if Palace Master Ling would do us the honor of visiting our Wanhua Sect?" Hua Piaoyue invited rather enthusiastically.
Those who didn't know the situation would think that Hua Piaoyue really had feelings for Ling Xiao.
Actually, Hua Piaoyue had other plans.
Their old sect master, who was also her great master, was poisoned by the Poison Centipede Queen. It was difficult to find an antidote to the poison in this world. Only an eighth rank pill could cure it.
Ling Xiao was already a seventh rank alchemist. This identity was no longer a secret.
Hua Piaoyue was also desperate. Although she didn't expect Ling Xiao to be able to cure her old sect master, it was still a sliver of hope. After all, time was too short. Where could she find an eighth rank alchemist?
