The Cool and Aloof Senior Sister Always Flirts with Me

Chapter 106: Bone-Piercing Arrowheads

Fox demon blood.

Yan Jue paused for a moment.

If offering a bowl of her own blood could secure an important piece of information, Yan Jue would gladly do it.

Qi Xianqing's wound kept bleeding, which led Yan Jue to suspect poisoning. However, if it were poison, there should have been other symptoms.

Yan Jue wasn't skilled in medicine, and if she went to the Pheasant Spirit Apothecary for an antidote only to return to the cave and find Qi Xianqing wasn't actually poisoned, the back-and-forth would waste precious time.

She needed guidance from someone well-versed in medical skills.

In the uppermost level of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, candlelight flickered.

Lady Turtle Spirit waved her right hand, and a gilded bowl flew over, landing before Yan Jue.

Without hesitation, Yan Jue rolled up her sleeve. The blade of her sleeve dagger flashed coldly as she sliced her pale wrist.

Blood began to trickle out.

Yan Jue instinctively closed her eyes.

Although she had been in this world for some time, she still found scenes like this—full of blood and mystery—difficult to stomach.

Slowly, the fox demon's blood filled the bowl.

Lady Turtle Spirit had already prepared a hemostatic powder for her. Yan Jue sprinkled it onto the wound, then bandaged it securely.

Cultivators weren't afraid of blood loss; such injuries would heal quickly with a bit of rest for a fox demon.

Even so, Yan Jue felt momentarily dizzy.

Leaning on her elbow, Lady Turtle Spirit answered Yan Jue's question lazily: "The nearest Medicine Immortal is at the stream's end."

"......"

Such an enigmatic response infuriated Yan Jue.

Couldn't this turtle spirit woman just be clearer?

The woman smiled, adjusting her Western-style glasses. "With your cleverness, you'll surely figure out where I mean."

Exasperated, Yan Jue left the pavilion and began to ponder Lady Turtle Spirit's words outside.

The stream, she knew, was the only one in this mountain where she and Qi Xianqing had landed after falling from a cliff.

The water was clear and brimming with spiritual energy, and it had saved both Yan Jue and Qi Xianqing's lives.

Yan Jue had carried Qi Xianqing a great distance that day, always following the path of that stream.

...

Yan Jue left the Demons' Pavilion, arrived at the stream, and quickly began to follow it upstream.

She wondered if a Medicine Immortal would truly be there; could the world really be so fortuitous?

The night sky gradually lightened, with the distant sky showing hints of dawn as the stars faded.

Before she knew it, it was nearing daybreak.

She originally thought the stream's end would still be far off, but after walking only about the length it takes to burn a stick of incense, she arrived.

A small waterfall cascaded down a towering rock face, framed by lush trees. This was the stream's source.

At first, she saw no one, and her heart sank.
