The Healer Demands Payment!

Chapter 37

Su Junmo watched Meng Qi's busy movements curiously. In these few days, Xun Yan had ordered his disciples to find all the medicinal ingredients she needed. Meng Qi took out her small cauldron, drew an array on the ground, and threw two spirit stones in it.

"Ah, right." She took out the spiritual stone that Su Junmo had previously given. "This, I'm returning it to you."

Because of the five elements blue crane's sudden appearance, Meng Qi missed the chance to return his spirit stones. She now had a way to earn the spirit stones she needed, and Su Junmo also helped them much, so she didn't want to take payment from him.

"Just a bit of money, you take it." Su Junmo's eyes were glued on the array Meng Qi drew on the ground. If he didn't see it wrong, Meng Qi just casually threw fourth-grade spirit stones in it. This little girl was a mere Qi Condensation cultivator, yet not only Chu Tianfeng and Qin Xiumo willingly followed her, but her own actions were also pretty bold.

Very intriguing.

This Qingfeng Valley didn't seem to be that grand. So, where did Meng Qi get so many spirit stones? Did she get them as the payment for her medical treatment? Or...

Su Junmo squinted his eyes slightly, and he became more certain that Meng Qi was that Xiao Qi, the seller of the Beiming Pill.

"Your senior sister, ah, she also seems to be pretty good." Inside the tent, there were only Su Junmo, Meng Qi, and three injured Fentian Palace disciples. Of course, Chu Tianfeng and Qin Xiumo were also there, but his chatterbox nature has long been exposed to them, so Su Junmo had nothing to hide.

"Well, she indeed suspected you just now, Meng Qiqi, so I suppose I shouldn't speak for her. But still, she didn't speak unreasonably either. Her arguments have a tiny bit of logic." Su Junmo made a circle with his thumb and index finger, showing a very short gap between. "So, don't be too angry with her. I just asked around. She felt that her master was being wronged, so she came forward to clarify. She didn't deliberately go against you, but simply being too filial."

Meng Qi turned to glance lightly at Su Junmo. Similarly, Chu Tianfeng and Qin Xiumo also stared at him. The two young men's gaze contained a little gloating and even seemed eager to watch a good show.

"Mm." Meng Qi answered casually. She put the spirit stones aside before turning her attention back to her small medicinal cauldron. Meng Qi took out her silver medical knife and began to process the ingredients.

Su Junmo was itchy with curiosity. Now that he was in a close enough distance, he could clearly see the array engraved on the knife's handle. Although seemingly simple, this array definitely wasn't originated from Three Thousand Worlds. No matter how he looked, it should come from the hand of a celestial demon.

Of course, the most talented array user that Su Junmo knew was his Lord, a high being even among the celestial demons.

Su Junmo's gaze turned to the fire control array that Meng Qi used for her refinement process.　Although he wasn't an expert, he has followed the Lord for a long time, so his knowledge was still far better than most people.

"Li..li..li...Lihuo great fire array?!" Upon recognizing that it was a reduced and simplified version of Lihuo array, Su Junmo's eyes widened in shock. "How can such extravagant things all gathered here!" First, the protective array that almost harmed him before. Next, the array engraved in Meng Qi's low-grade medical knife. And now, he even saw her refining medicine using the simplified version of Lihuo great fire.

"So Lihuo great fire array can really be simplified! Let me take a look! Ah, there are many changes indeed. Here, here, and here have been strengthened. Hmm, by stacking three smaller arrays together, you can control the intensity and duration of the fire. I see, so this Lihuo array has been specifically modified for refining medicine! What kind of person actually did this crazy thing—" Su Junmo suddenly shut his mouth. The 'person' he just mentioned was most probably his Lord, the deity-like genius who was always aloof and never been close with women.
