    As the two were talking, Hu Mazi came stumbling over with his head bandaged like a dumpling, his face brimming with excitement: “David! I’m fine! That old guy’s holy light bullet only looks scary, not half as domineering as your Dragon ying Sword!”


    “Be careful of the wound.” Chen


    Ping shook his head helplessly. This guy always forgets the pain once the wound has healed.


    Hu Mazi waved his hand nonchntly and took out a ck pottery jar from his arms: “Look what I brought you? This is an ointment made from the inner


    elixir of the purple crystal toad in the Ten Thousand Poison Valley. It is specially used to treat various external injuries. Apply it and I guarantee that you will be able to pick up a sword and kill people tomorrow!” Looking at the green paste bubbling in the pottery jar, David’s eyes twitched: “Are you sure this is not poison?”


    “Hey, don’t trust me?”


    Hu Mazi was anxious. He grabbed a piece of gravel and applied the ointment on it. The stone actually emitted green smoke in an instant. “Look, even stones can be corroded. It is very effective in cleaning wounds!”


    David: “…”


    At this moment, Li Chunfeng’s voice rang outside the yard: “Mr. Chen, healing cannot be rushed.”


    He walked in slowly, holding a jade box in his hand, “This is the ‘Concentrated Jade Marrow’ from the Sword Saint City. It is very beneficial for repairing meridians.”


    The moment the jade box was opened, a refreshing fragrance spread out. The semi-liquid milky white liquid in the box was slowly rotating, and faint traces of spiritual energy could be seen condensing into mist.


    David’s pupils shrank slightly. A treasure like this might not even be found in the entire Fifth Heaven.


    “I dare not ept such a precious gift,” David said, rising to decline.


    Li Chunfeng, however, pressed the jade box into his hands. “Mr. Chen has been so kind to me. How can such mundane gifts be of any use to me?”


    He paused, his tone bing serious. “Excalibur Vi seems to be making a move. Mr. Chen would do well to recover as quickly as possible. If there’s any disturbance, simply shout my name in the direction of the City Lord’s Mansion.” With


    that, he transformed into a white rainbow and vanished into the night, leaving behind only a faint voice that echoed through the courtyard: “Rest assured, Sword Saint City is fine for now.”


    Looking at the slowly flowing chalcedony in the jade box, David felt a mixture of emotions.


    For the next three days, the Sword Sect’s headquarters remained unusually peaceful.


    David immersed himself in healing daily. The Concentrating Jade Marrow lived up to its reputation. Damaged meridians healed at a visible rate. The Dragon Essence and the Sha Qi, tempered by the sword energy left by Li Chunfeng, gradually formed a delicate bnce.


    Mo Chen and Hu Mazi recovered more slowly. The former’s internal organs, burned by the holy light, needed to be slowly healed, while thetter, suffering from the bacsh of his forceful talisman activation, currently clutched a medicine jar and sighed daily.


    Ling Xue and the other Sword Sect disciples took on the heavy responsibility of vignce. These days, groups of cultivators were constantly lingering outside the base, their eyes unfriendly.


    “Brother Chen, there are a few unfamiliar faces skulking around the door again today.”


    Ling Xue walked into the room carrying a bowl of herbal medicine, a look of worry on her beautiful face. “I heard from my disciples that rumors are circting that our Sword Sect has offended the Divine Sword Vi and will sooner orter be expelled from Sword Saint City.”


    David took the medicine and downed it in one gulp, a bitter taste spreading across his tongue. “Others have their mouths on them, so let them say what they want.”


    He set the bowl down and looked at the bruise on Ling Xue’s wrist, which hadn’t yet faded. Curiously, he asked, “How did it happen?”


    Ling Xue covered her wrist and shook her head. “There’s been constant challenges to the Sword Secttely. Master and Brother Chen are injured, so I had to step in!”


    “I’m sorry for that.” David reached out and gently caressed her wound. As his spiritual energy flowed through her, the bruise faded at a visible speed.


    Ling Xue’s cheeks flushed slightly, and she shook her head softly. “I don’t feel wronged to be by your side.”


    These days of sharing life and death had already left her with a deep affection for this seemingly ordinary young man.


    Just as the two of them were smiling at each other, the sound of an argument suddenly broke out from outside the courtyard.
