Chapter 100

However, this spirit flower grows on a steep cliff. If one is not careful, they might slip and fall off the cliff. This danger is nothing to a cultivator at the Core Formation stage, but Jiang Suqing is merely at the high stage of the Body Tempering period.

Jiang Suqing carefully took out a silk ribbon, tied one end around her waist, and the other end to a large tree. Then, she grabbed the spirit herb hoe and, with a basket on her back, cautiously descended the steep cliff.

Hard work pays off. When Jiang Suqing carefully picked the purple wisteria spirit flower and placed it in her basket, she couldn't help but sigh in relief. She wiped her forehead, climbed up the cliff, and plopped down on the grass. Although she was very tired, her face was filled with joy.

At that moment, a soft sound came from behind Jiang Suqing. She stood up like a frightened rabbit, looking back with a wary expression. Upon seeing, Jiang Suqing's face showed surprise.

"Huh, it's actually a person!"

Jiang Suqing observed for a while and found that the person was lying motionless. After a long time, Jiang Suqing cautiously approached. Upon closer inspection, she discovered that the person lying there was a man who looked to be in his twenties. However, this man had a good appearance, but his face was pale as if he had lost a lot of blood, looking like a sheet of white paper.

This person was none other than Zhao Shuo, who had been sent out of Death Island by the Death Daoist after suffering a great loss of vitality.

Jiang Suqing extended her hand to feel Zhao Shuo's pulse, and upon detecting the weak pulse, she slightly relaxed. The presence of a pulse meant he was not dead, and even if he was injured, there was still a chance to save him.

Gently shaking Zhao Shuo, there was no response for a long time. Jiang Suqing frowned, looking at the setting sun. Thinking of her master, she became anxious. If she didn't return soon, her master would definitely be very worried. But what to do with this person? He wouldn't wake up no matter how she called him. Could she just leave him here? There were wild beasts in the mountains, and if something happened...

Biting her lower lip, Jiang Suqing hesitated for a long time. Finally, she took off her basket, picked up Zhao Shuo, and headed straight for the Spirit Herb Valley.

The Spirit Herb Valley is a very insignificant small sect in Chongxiao Mountain, or rather, it is a sect established by a wandering cultivator hundreds of years ago. After several hundred years of development, it not only failed to flourish but became increasingly declining. By this generation, the entire Spirit Herb Valley had only Jiang Suqing and her master, as well as two servants, almost on the brink of extinction.

A woman who looked to be around fifty years old stood at the entrance of a valley, looking worriedly at the valley entrance and muttering, "This girl Suqing, she went to gather herbs again. I'm really afraid she might encounter some danger."

Jiang Hua could be considered the last generation's sect leader of the Spirit Herb Valley. Her cultivation was at the third level of the Human Rank, and her overall cultivation was only at the mid-stage of the Core Formation. Such cultivation was inferior even to the outer disciples of the Chongxiao Sect. Jiang Suqing was an orphan adopted by Jiang Hua, so she took her surname. Jiang Hua treated her like a real daughter, and when she discovered Jiang Suqing's excellent talent, she resolutely used the most precious spirit herb of the sect to help Jiang Suqing open her seventh-level Heaven Rank spirit aperture. Unfortunately, the cultivation method Jiang Suqing practiced was too poor, or rather, the cultivation method passed down by the Spirit Herb Valley focused on health preservation. It took people over ten years just to temper their bodies, laying a very solid foundation, but such a slow pace was useless, which is why the Spirit Herb Valley declined so much that it couldn't even recruit disciples.

Suddenly, Jiang Hua's eyes lit up, and she stared intently at the valley entrance. She saw Jiang Suqing, who was carrying a person, struggling to return step by step.

Originally, with Jiang Suqing's cultivation at the high stage of Body Tempering, carrying a person or even a large rock would not be a problem. However, Jiang Suqing had been out all day, constantly climbing steep cliffs, and had already exhausted her energy. It was fortunate that she managed to carry the unconscious Zhao Shuo back.

Looking up, Jiang Suqing's face showed joy. She finally brought the person back. After a journey of several dozen miles, if she hadn't gritted her teeth and persisted, she would have given up.

Jiang Hua quickly walked to Jiang Suqing and first examined her from head to toe. Seeing that Jiang Suqing was not injured, she slightly relaxed. Her gaze fell on the person Jiang Suqing was carrying, and she frowned, saying, "Suqing, who is this person? Why did you bring a stranger back?"

Jiang Suqing carefully put Zhao Shuo down and wiped her sweat, saying, "Master, I encountered him while gathering herbs on the mountain. He was unconscious, and no matter how I called him, he wouldn't wake up. I didn't feel right leaving him alone on the mountain, so I brought him back."

Jiang Hua glanced at the unconscious Zhao Shuo and said, "You silly girl, how many times have I told you that people outside are unpredictable. You are always so kind-hearted. What if you encounter a bad person? What will your master do then?"

Sticking out her tongue, Jiang Suqing held Jiang Hua's hand and said, "Master, there aren't that many bad people. The people in the villages below are quite nice."

Knowing that Jiang Suqing often went to the villages below to interact with ordinary people, Jiang Hua smiled bitterly in her heart. However, she didn't want the innocent Jiang Suqing to be exposed to the dark side of human nature.

Suddenly, Jiang Suqing proudly placed her basket in front of Jiang Hua and said, "Master, look at this purple wisteria spirit flower I gathered. With this spirit flower, we will have something to offer as a gift next month, and the Chongxiao Sect won't make things difficult for us anymore."

Jiang Hua's eyes lit up when she saw the purple wisteria spirit flower in the basket. Looking at the freshly picked spirit flower, she said excitedly, "I didn't expect you to have such good luck. To encounter this spirit flower, it seems that heaven has not abandoned our Spirit Herb Valley."

Seeing Jiang Hua's excited expression, Jiang Suqing's face showed joy, and she said, "Master, the Chongxiao Sect's young master is getting married. Why is there no sign of it? It seems a bit rushed."

Jiang Hua carefully put away the purple wisteria spirit flower and said, "I have also inquired with a few fellow cultivators. It seems everyone received the notification at the same time. Apart from knowing that the young master is marrying someone named Zhao Luan, there was no prior information about this person."

At this moment, Zhao Shuo, who was lying on the side, slightly frowned. In a half-conscious state, he vaguely heard someone mention his sister's name and quickly became fully awake. He soon realized the poor condition of his body.
