When Chu Qi heard Yan Jiuge say this, he couldn't help but look towards his shoulder.
From the outside, the material on Yan Jiuge's shoulders showed signs of wear and tear, and the defensive spell on his robe had disappeared, probably because it was consumed during the battle.
But Yan Jiuge's robe was black, so even if the wound was bleeding, it would not show through.
You need to take off your outer clothes to see the injuries inside.
Yun Jiangmiao stood beside them. He was quite familiar with the characteristics of animals, and he quickly advised, "The scales on the monster's body are very likely to be poisonous. You have to treat the wound as soon as possible."
As a medical practitioner, Chu Qi knew that poisoning was more troublesome than external injuries, and that he needed to prepare detoxifying elixirs for internal or external application.
Chu Qi cast a healing spell on the gold-eating beast's tail, put it on the ground, and then focused all his attention on Yan Jiuge.
The gold-eating beast muttered softly, but didn't dare to continue arguing with Yan Jiuge, and ran away to play alone.
Seeing that they were busy, Yun Jiangmiao was very self-aware. He said goodbye in advance and walked towards the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect.
The nine-tailed fox followed Yun Jiangmiao's steps closely. Although it was curious about Chu Qi, it didn't want to get too close to Yan Jiuge.
*
There was no one around to disturb him for the time being, so Chu Qi said to Yan Jiuge, "Ah Yan, let me see your wound."
Yan Jiuge's shoulder was scratched by the monster's scales, destroying the defensive magic spell on the Tianxuan Sect's sword-cultivating disciple's clothing, causing a minor scratch, but no injury to the bones.
He can heal himself without treatment by relying on his own spiritual power, so the injury is not as serious as Chu Qi thought.
Now that Chu Qi paid so much attention to him, Yan Jiuge felt a little insecure.
"Just give me a healing spell, no need to go through so much trouble."
"No, you have to let me see. If you're poisoned, I can make an antidote." Chu Qi looked serious and refused to give in on this matter.
Chu Qi knew clearly that Yan Jiuge never cared much about his injuries, especially the internal injuries, and sometimes he would even get angry and refuse treatment.
"Okay, Ayan, I'll just take a look."
Chu Qi softened his voice and urged him.
"… "
The soft voice reached Yan Jiuge's ears, making him forget what he should say for a moment. When he came back to his senses, he had already nodded in Chu Qi's expectant gaze.
Yan Jiuge pursed his lips, his eyes looking a little uncomfortable, as if explaining, he emphasized, "It's really not serious."
"I heard it, it's not serious." Chu Qi nodded along with his words, and after seconding the proposal, he reminded him, "But you clearly nodded and agreed just now, let me see."
Yan Jiuge: “…”
*
Under the shade of a lush tree, Yan Jiuge sat on the ground leaning against the trunk, while Chu Qi half-knelt in front of Yan Jiuge.
This place was found by Chu Qi. Taking into consideration that Yan Jiuge was a rich young master and was unwilling to just sit on the ground, Chu Qi also used the cleaning technique to wash the grass and leaves under the tree.
Sitting down is easier than standing. Moreover, this posture makes it convenient for Chu Qi to check the injury on Yan Jiuge's shoulder.
The outer garment was unbuttoned, and the inner garment at the collar was pulled down to the shoulders, revealing the injured left shoulder.
The wound on the shoulder was much more serious than the words Yan Jiuge had said lightly.
The flesh that was cut by the scales was turned inside out. Thanks to Yan Jiuge's powerful self-healing ability, the bleeding at the wound had stopped, but it had not yet recovered.
"But fortunately, I wasn't poisoned."
After checking the wound, Chu Qi felt relieved and used his spiritual power to heal Yan Jiuge's shoulder injury.
White spiritual power surged out from Chu Qi's palm, and in accordance with his wishes, condensed on Yan Jiuge's shoulder and healed the wound.
Chu Qi's eyes were focused, and the scattered sunlight fell through the gaps between the trees. A little bit of light fell on his long eyelashes, making him look elegant and gentle.
Yan Jiuge lowered his eyes and looked at it seriously.
He suddenly felt that being hurt was sometimes a good thing. At least at this moment, Aqi's attention was all on him.
"alright."
After healing the wound on Yan Jiuge's shoulder and making sure there were no scars or other blemishes left, Chu Qi withdrew his spiritual power with satisfaction.
When Chu Qi raised his eyes, he found Yan Jiuge looking down at him.
Because he was leaning against the tree trunk, Yan Jiuge looked a little lazy while sitting. The sunlight fell on the strands of hair on his forehead, and his eyebrows and eyes lost their sharpness, making him look very relaxed.
Looking down half a step, he saw the loose clothes and the exposed left shoulder. Without the hideous wound to grab Chu Qi's attention, he could easily see the texture of Yan Jiuge's shoulder and collarbone. Those lines were smooth and beautiful, showing the well-proportioned physique that only sword cultivators have.
Forcing himself to look away, Chu Qi whispered to remind Yan Jiuge.
"It's been cured. Put on your clothes quickly."
"Yeah." Yan Jiuge responded softly and raised his hand to straighten his shirt.
The defensive spell on the outer garment of the sword-cultivating disciples of the Tianxuan Sect was worn out, so it could no longer be worn. Yan Jiuge simply took out his own outer garment from the Qiankun bag.
Although also black, Yan Jiuge's robe was more fancy. Dark golden embroidery spread freely from the left shoulder diagonally downward to the hem. It looked very luxurious, the kind that would cost a lot of spirit stones to buy.
Chu Qi hadn't seen Yan Jiuge wearing this kind of robe for a long time. He used to think that the Yan family hadn't prepared any for him. But now it seems that the Yan family still cares about him.
Seeing this, Chu Qi couldn't help but sigh, "Although your family members are not close to you, they have never lacked clothes and spiritual weapons. They have not ignored you for so many years."
"Well, I will never lack material things." Yan Jiuge replied according to Chu Qi's words.
Yan Jiuge rarely mentioned things about his family.
Chu Qi initially thought that he had a bad relationship with his family, so he consciously did not ask about these things. Now that he thought about it, the Yan family might not be so bad to Yan Jiuge, and Chu Qi became a little curious about this.
So Chu Qi couldn't help but ask, "Ayan, where is your home?"
"… "
After these words were spoken, the air was silent for a moment.
It was just a casual question, but Chu Qi noticed that there was something a little unusual on Yan Jiuge's face.
Thinking that he had touched Yan Jiuge's scar, Chu Qi quickly changed his words, "I was just asking casually. If it's inconvenient, you don't have to answer me."
"It's not inconvenient..." Yan Jiuge hesitated for a moment and found a suitable description, "It's just that it's far away from Tianxuan Sect and the location is very remote, so it's hard to describe."
The main residence of the Yan family is located at the junction of the Yunhua Realm and the Yunyin Realm, which is indeed very remote.
"Okay." Chu Qi nodded and gave up the idea of asking further questions.
If Yan Jiuge didn't want to talk, Chu Qi wouldn't ask any more. Everyone has unspeakable secrets in their hearts, just like he was reborn from the last life.
Chu Qi was not entangled, but Yan Jiuge was a little troubled.
The identity of the Yan family is somewhat special, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter. If Yan Mingchao could not hold on and died one day, the position of the head of the Yan family might fall to him.
Then what should he and Aqi do
Yan Jiuge’s previous idea was that after the evil spirit of the Yan family altar was cleared away, he would give up his position as the heir of the Yan family and stay with Chu Qi as an ordinary cultivator.
But every time a sacrifice was made, the evil spirit in the black abyss seemed to have no end, and no matter how it was sealed, it was not enough.
If he can't get rid of this responsibility, would Aqi be willing to accompany him to the Yan family
This thought flashed through Yan Jiuge's mind, but he quickly rejected it.
The main house of the Yan family was like a cage, and he didn't want his A Qi to suffer with him.
There is no answer to this, we can only take one step at a time.
As long as Aqi is by his side, he will be able to solve the remaining troubles.
Yan Jiuge thought.
*
After Chu Qi and Yan Jiuge rested for a while under the shade of the tree, Yun Jiangmiao and the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect came over from not far away and thanked them again.
Chu Qi: "You are welcome, Fellow Daoist Yun."
The monster was originally the one they had caused trouble for, but Yun Jiangmiao and the others were unlucky and were teleported right under the monster's nose.
"Don't spread the word that Qi is a medical practitioner."
Yan Jiuge did give a warning.
"We will keep it a secret." Yun Jiangmiao understood.
Yan Jiuge nodded slightly.
In fact, what he wanted to hide was not Chu Qi's identity as a medical practitioner, but Chu Qi's special spiritual power and talent. But there was no need to explain these to Yun Jiangmiao.
"In addition, there is one more thing, the corpse of the monster..." Yun Jiangmiao looked a little embarrassed when he said this.
Yan Jiuge killed the monster with his sword, and Chu Qi cured his internal injuries and the injuries of other disciples of the Beast Taming Sect.
But Yun Jiangmiao really needed the inner elixir of the demon beast, so that the nine-tailed fox he contracted could be more powerful and safer during training.
"I really need the inner elixir of that demon beast. I wonder if you two fellow Taoists need it. If not, can you sell it to me?"
Yun Jiangmiao asked pleadingly.
The inner elixir of demon beasts is generally useful to spiritual beasts. For cultivators, absorbing the inner elixir may cause them to go astray due to the demonic energy, which is not worth the loss.
Chu Qi called over the gold-eating beast that was playing with stones not far away, "Xiao Jin, do you want to eat the inner elixir of the monster beast?"
“Lulu.”
The gold-eating beast swept away the pebbles with its tail and shook its head after hearing Chu Qi's words.
That doesn't taste good. Eating it will easily change the color of your body and make you look ugly.
"We have no need for the monster's inner elixir, you can take it." Chu Qi replied to Yun Jiangmiao.
As for the remaining corpse of the monster, some of it can be kept as materials for refining weapons, and can be taken back to the Tianxuan Sect in exchange for some contribution points.
Chu Qi put it into his Qiankun bag.
Yun Jiangmiao took the monster's inner elixir and knew that he had gotten a good deal, so he wanted to compensate Chu Qi and the others with some spirit stones.
But Chu Qi had dug for ten thousand year old spiritual jade and visited a whole spiritual jade vein, so he didn't have much desire for spiritual stones. "You don't need to compensate for anything. You and your contracted beast also contributed to the fight against the monster just now."
"That won't work. If you don't need spirit stones, is there anything else Brother Chu needs?" Yun Jiangmiao felt bad.
Chu Qi thought of the gold-eating beast, "Then... what do you usually feed the spirit pets in the Beast Taming Sect? Give me some."
Although we know that the Gold Devourer likes to eat ore, what if it also likes to eat spiritual animal food like other spiritual pets
Yunjiang Miaobie may not have many natural treasures, but he does have a lot of spiritual beast food. Upon hearing this, he directly gave Chu Qi a Qiankun bag filled with spiritual beast food.
After getting the spiritual beast food, Chu Qi took out a bag and handed it to the gold-eating beast, "Xiao Jin, do you want to try this?"
"chatter."
The gold-devouring beast curled up its tail, stood on its hind legs, stretched out its front paws and took the spiritual beast food given to it by its owner.
This time it was much more alert. It did not eat it immediately as it did when it received the night pearl, but smelled it first.
"!"
The taste is delicious.
Then, its obsidian eyes shone brightly, and it put the bag directly on the ground, buried its head in the bag, and started eating with big mouthfuls!
The size of a bag of spiritual beast food is about the same as the body of the gold-devouring beast. However, the gold-devouring beast can also mimic and shrink. By the end of the meal, its entire body has entered the bag of spiritual beast food.
Chu Qi: “…”
He was just about to say, try a bite first, and if it doesn’t suit you or make you uncomfortable, forget it.
But Chu Qi didn't expect that the gold-eating beast could eat the whole bag in one bite.
After three breaths, the bag of spiritual beast food on the ground fell over. The mimic gold-eating beast happily ran out of the bag with its tail curled up.
With his face still stained with spirit beast food, he looked at Chu Qi eagerly.
“Lulululul!!”
Still want it!!
"Do you feel uncomfortable?" Chu Qi performed a cleansing spell on it and washed away the residue on its face.
"Lulu!"
I didn't feel uncomfortable anywhere and I enjoyed the meal very much. I want to eat again.
Chu Qi felt a little relieved and was about to take out the spiritual beast food from the Qiankun bag for the gold-devouring beast, but he caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye that the gold-devouring beast's tail began to change color little by little.
From the original golden metallic color, it turned into green!
"Xiao Jin, you'd better not eat anymore." Chu Qi paused and decided not to continue feeding it the spiritual beast food. Maybe the food was not suitable.
"Lulu?"
The gold-eating beast was a little depressed.
"Your tail has changed color. Did you eat something bad?" Chu Qi pointed at the tip of its tail.
The gold-eating beast lifted up its tail, and when it found that its tail had really changed color, it purred twice, feeling sad and depressed.
Yun Jiangmiao was watching nearby. Seeing this, he couldn't help but explain, "Spiritual beast food is not poisonous, but this bag of spiritual beast food is made from low-level spiritual beast meat. Some spiritual beasts have trouble digesting meat... Why not try the pure spiritual plant flavor?"
"Lulu!"
It wants to try the spiritual plant flavor.
Chu Qi took a bag for it and it finished it in three breaths.
This time, in front of everyone's eyes, the gold-eating beast turned green. When it found itself green, it screamed and dived directly into the ground, unwilling to come out again.
"Ah, this... I'm so sorry." Yun Jiangmiao was a little confused. He had never taken care of such a spiritual beast and was not very sure about its taste.
"It's okay, maybe Xiao Jin didn't digest it well." Chu Qi knew that the gold-eating beast would change color if it ate the wrong thing.
Although the gold-devouring beast ate with relish, these spiritual beast foods were not suitable for it.
Chu Qi thought about it and decided that it would be better not to waste it and return it to Yun Jiangmiao.
"Fellow Daoist Yun, why don't you take back these spiritual beast food? My little Jin isn't suitable for it..."
"Lulu!"
A head that was not as green as the one just now poked out from the soil. The gold-eating beast felt a little aggrieved, but also a little stubborn, and came out to refute Chu Qi's approach.
Chu Qi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you sure? Do you want to eat more?"
"chatter!"
"After eating, your body will turn green, so you have to eat it, right?"
"chatter!"
"Okay then, stay." Chu Qi sighed and decided to follow the gold-devouring beast's wishes.
After receiving a positive answer, the gold-eating beast jumped back into the ore underground and became autistic.
So green, so green. So ugly, so ugly.
But the contents of that bag were so fragrant and delicious.
How come there is food in the world that tastes better the more you eat it, but gets uglier the more you eat it!
The gold-eating beast couldn't figure it out.
*
The matter was settled, and the Beastmasters and others said goodbye to Chu Qi and the other two.
They left here on a flying spiritual weapon. Even though there might be natural treasures in the forest, they were still frightened by what happened to the monsters, and they were unwilling to stay here.
After the Beast Taming Sect disciples left, Chu Qi asked Yan Jiuge for his opinion, "Should we go find Senior Brother Liu and the others next?"
"Not urgent."
Yan Jiuge thought for a while and then spoke.
"We should be in the southern part of the secret realm now, while Junior Brother Liu and the others are in the western part, so it's still a long way to go. And after we get there, they will continue to search for natural treasures. In addition, in the last month of the opening of the Yunxi Secret Realm, top-level natural treasures will descend on the center of the secret realm. At that time, all the cultivators will gather in the center of the secret realm, and we can go there to join them."
Chu Qi felt that what Yan Jiuge said made a lot of sense.
The number of people from their Tianxuan Sect who came to the secret realm was originally small. Other immortal sects were divided into several teams, but they only had two teams. If they merged into one team, it would reduce the chance of encountering natural treasures.
After Yan Jiuge told Liu Weiming about this matter, he and Chu Qi planned to walk towards the center while searching for rare treasures.
After a while, when the gold-devouring beast had digested the spiritual beast food, its body turned back to its original color and it came out from underground.
Chu Qi and Yan Jiuge then flew away from the mountains on their swords.
