Not far away.
A young woman with a graceful figure and a fairy-like presence, dressed in white robes, surrounded by a faint mist, walked swiftly towards the Transmission Hall.
"A white investable person!"
Li Xun looked at the woman, and the voice of the system resounded in his mind.
[Ding, congratulations, Host, for discovering a white investable person. By investing in the Expelling Evil Pill, you can obtain 10,000 Low-Grade spirit stones!]
"10,000 Low-Grade spirit stones?"
Li Xun narrowed his eyes.
The quantity wasn't particularly large. In conversion, it was only equivalent to one High-Grade spirit stone.
Correspondingly, the white light emanating from the woman wasn't as dazzling as Lu Changhe's.
"No matter how small a meat is, a meat is still a meat, 10,000 Low-Grade spirit stones, whether for outer or inner disciples, is a substantial amount of sum to be having!"
Li Xun hurriedly took a few steps forward, catching up with the woman's pace, and shouted, "Junior Sister, wait!"
"Hmm?"
Hearing Li Xun's voice, the woman halted her steps. She turned around slowly, a look of astonishment flickering in her beautiful eyes. She glanced around, confirming that there was no one else nearby.
She looked at Li Xun, raised an eyebrow, and said in a melodious voice, "Are you calling me?"
"Yes!"
Li Xun arrived in front of the woman. He was momentarily taken aback by her appearance but quickly composed himself.
It had to be said that she was extremely beautiful, with top-tier looks and temperament.
However, in the world of cultivation, there were almost no ugly people. After seeing so many, Li Xun had become immune to beauty, which made him slightly distracted for a moment.
Regaining his composure, Li Xun solemnly nodded and said, "Junior Sister, you are poisoned!"
With the experience of Lu Changhe and Ye Han, Li Xun had deduced some of the investment patterns given by the system.
That is, the items he invested in were generally what the invested person needed the most.
And the Expelling Evil Pill...
As the name implied, it was a pill used to detoxify.
This pill wasn't expensive, costing only one Low-Grade spirit stone per bottle.
But its use was extensive. For example, when encountering miasma in the wilderness, taking an Expelling Evil Pill could resist most of the poisonous gas. It could also neutralize poisons with weak toxicity and delayed onset.
It could be said that the Expelling Evil Pill was an essential medicine for traveling or staying at home.
"I'm poisoned?"
The white-clad woman responded in surprise, her voice as melodious as a silver bell. She looked Li Xun up and down, trying to see through him.
She couldn't understand why a senior brother at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm could discern that she was poisoned when she hadn't even realized it herself.
Could it be... he had cultivated some kind of eye technique?
But after carefully observing Li Xun's eyes, she dismissed this speculation.
Because Li Xun didn't look like someone who had cultivated any eye technique.
"Yes!"
Li Xun nodded solemnly. He flipped his hand, and a bottle of Expelling Evil Pill appeared in his palm. He said, "Fortunately, the poison in Junior Sister's body is not deep. This bottle of Expelling Evil Pill I'm giving you today can help you eliminate the poison."
"Expelling Evil Pill..."
The white-clad woman smiled bitterly. Although she had an extremely beautiful appearance and every smile could move people's hearts, even she couldn't help but show a hint of disbelief. Earlier, this inner disciple had spoken with such seriousness.
She almost believed it.
She thought she had been poisoned by some colorless and tasteless strange poison. But unexpectedly, the other party took out a bottle of Expelling Evil Pill, which was the most basic detoxification pill.
What threat could there be from a poison that could be eliminated by the Expelling Evil Pill?
"Junior Sister, don't underestimate the Expelling Evil Pill. As the saying goes, simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. In critical moments, the role played by a small bottle of Expelling Evil Pill often exceeds everyone's expectations."
Li Xun advised her.
Then, he grabbed the white-clad woman's hand and placed the Expelling Evil Pill in her palm.
During that moment of contact, the white-clad girl seemed to have been electrified. She quickly withdrew her hand, but there was already a bottle of pills in her palm.
[Ding, congratulations, the investment is successful. You have obtained 10,000 Low-Grade spirit stones. Would you like to claim them, Host?]
"No, don't claim."
Li Xun responded in his mind.
"So... you stopped me just to give me this Expelling Evil Pill?" the white-clad woman asked, looking at the pill in her hand, then raising her head to look at Li Xun, her crystal-clear eyes gazing at him as she spoke softly.
"Yes and no."
Li Xun calmly replied, "My main intention was just to help Junior Sister."
"Heh."
The white-clad woman chuckled lightly, teasingly saying, "Then, may I know how to address you, Senior... Senior Brother?"
"Li..."
Li Xun began to answer.
Suddenly...
At the foot of the mountain.
A disciple from the outer sect rushed over, running as fast as he could, his voice reaching Li Xun before he did.
"Senior Brother Li Xun!"
"So, you're here. Junior Brother has been looking for you!"
The disciple had been running for who knew how long, and when he arrived in front of Li Xun, his whole body almost collapsed. Fortunately, Li Xun reached out and supported him, preventing him from falling to the ground.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Li Xun furrowed his brow and asked.
He recognized this person. His name was Wang Kun, also an outer sect disciple, with only a cultivation level Seventh Level of Body Tempering. He lived near Lu Changhe.
Normally, Wang Kun had a decent relationship with Lu Changhe. Over time, Li Xun had become somewhat acquainted with Wang Kun as well.
Of course...
They are just quite familiar with each other. In Li Xun's eyes, they were not considered friends, they are acquaintances at best.
"Senior Brother Li Xun, something bad has happened. Last night, Senior Brother Lu Changhe went to seek revenge against Bai Shaowei. Bai Shaowei and the others were instantly crippled by Senior Brother Lu Changhe."
"Later, the disciples from the Disciplinary Hall arrived, and without saying a word, they captured Senior Brother Lu Changhe!"
Wang Kun gasped for breath and quickly explained.
"What?"
Li Xun's face changed, and he exclaimed, "He was captured by the Disciplinary Hall?"
Within the Xuanyang Sect, the Disciplinary Hall represented absolute authority. No disciple dared to fall into the hands of the Disciplinary Hall.
Because...
The Disciplinary Hall was responsible for cleaning up the sect from troublemakers!
Once a Xuanyang Sect disciple entered the Disciplinary Hall, there were hardly any who could walk out unscathed.
"You go back and wait for news. I'll go to the Disciplinary Hall and take a look."
Li Xun reassured Wang Kun, then quickly descended the mountain and hurried towards the Disciplinary Hall.
