Chapter 1692 Offer For Luo Liqin

Luo Liqin had never thought that he would be matched up against Yao Changying in his second match.

While they had all been given the mission to defeat her, and were even given tools to weaken her. Her strength was overwhelming enough for him to be wiped out instantly. It didn't look like Yao Changying had put him into any consideration at all as she had only used her sword skills.

According to what they had heard from Princess Shang, Yao Changying had various skills, the strongest of which were the ones she had acquired by sacrificing others. Even Luo Liqin had loved ones that had been involved in it, thus his enmity was personal.

And now that he had faced her, he had barely been able to stand for a minute before being defeated.

If not for the fact that he had practiced body cultivation in the past, he might not have lasted that long either. It resulted in injuries that would take a while to heal even if they weren't life threatening.

If Luo Liqin had fought Yao Changying somewhere other than the tournament, he would have certainly died. After all, he was knocked out from the attack and wouldn't be able to recover without treatment.

It just showed how dangerous even a casual attack from Yao Changying was.

When he came to his senses, he had found himself in the Recovery Pavilion. The healers had already tended to him and patched up his wounds. But the internal injuries were still there and would take a lot more effort to heal.

Luo Liqin would have to use his own Healing pills, or buy them in order to return to normal. As of now, he barely had half of his strength, as exerting anymore would only cause him to get strained and worsen the injuries.

He had been regretting losing this early and could only curse fate. But fate held more surprises for him as he now woke up to Lin Mu coming to meet him.

"How did you come here Daoist Mu Lin?" Luo Liqin asked feeling confused.

"Hearing that a friend was injured, I obviously had to come check up on them." Lin Mu said with a smile. "Besides, we both have a mission and keeping an eye on the target of the mission is normal." He added vaguely.

Luo Liqin quickly understood what Lin Mu meat from this and let out a sigh.

"Of course I was defeated by her, after all." Luo Liqin said in a frustrated tone.

"Out of all of us, I had never thought someone would be facing her right on the first day of the tournament either." Lin Mu stated. "But it did allows us to know a bit about her abilities now." He added.

"That's true While she hasn't revealed all her capabilities, I'm afraid what she's shown is already enough to stop all of us." Luo Liqin said with regret.

"It might not be as you think, Daoist Luo Liqin." Lin Mu said mysteriously.

"What do you mean?" Luo Liqin wondered if Lin Mu had some tricks up his sleeve. "Do you have a way?" he asked, remembering that he still needed revenge against Yao Changying.

"I just might but I also need your help with it." Lin Mu replied.

"If you really can do it, then I don't see why not." Luo Liqin answered. "But then again In my current condition it'll be difficult. I'm afraid I might be useless to you right now." He said in a sad tone.

"We can get that sorted in a jiffy." Lin Mu chuckled and took out three pill bottles.

He took out one pill from each of the bottles and presented them to Luo Liqin.

"What are these?" The man furrowed his brows.

"Meridian Mending Pill, Vein establis.h.i.+ng pill and Immortal Restoration Pill." Lin Mu answered. "They should return you to your peak." He explained.

Hearing this, Luo Liqin's eyes went wide.

"M-Meridian mending pill? And even an Immortal Restoration Pill?!" While he had not recognized the pills from the appearance, he certainly knew about them once he heard the names. "Such precious healing pills, how can I"

The Meridian mending pill was a healing pill that was meant for internal injuries, more accurately injuries to the meridians. Luo Liqin had been pierced in several locations by the flower petals of Yao Changying and while the surface wounds were closed, the actual meridians inside his body were still injured.

d---n?a| om Of course, while they weren't crippled, there were still injuries on them and the damage was wide spread.

There were several pills that could address this, but the Meridian Mending Pill was one of the good ones that worked fast.

Same was the case for the Vein establis.h.i.+ng pill. Instead of meridians it was meant for the blood vessels and blood clots that might be present in the body. It wasn't as valuable as the Meridian Mending Pill, but was still worthy a pretty penny.

Then there was the Immortal Restoration Pill which was an overall healing pill. It could work on the entire body, expect its effects were diffused. The main benefit of it was that when used in combination with other healing pills, it had a synergistic effect and also increased the speed of healing.

The combination of the three pills was something that would basically revert Luo Liqin's body to how it was before the battle.

'I would have given him flesh mending pills too, but the healers here took care of that. At least they are good in that aspect.' Lin Mu thought to himself while watching Luo Liqin come to terms with his offering.

It was normal for others to be stunned by this, as the three pills were worth at least two or three High Grade immortal stones. To Lin Mu, this was a small amount, but to others it was something they needed to be careful about.

Plus, even if one had the fortune to buy these pills, there was no guarantee they would be available freely. Chances were, one would need to commission an Immortal Alchemist to make them, which would further raise the cost.

"I ~Gulp~" but before Luo Liqin could say anymore, Lin Mu stuffed the pills into his mouth.

"Let's get you healed first. Ignore the cost of the pills for now." Lin Mu replied, shutting the man up.

Or rather, Luo Liqin was forced to shut up as there was now strong medicinal energy rising within his stomach. He needed to focus on it to absorb it properly. After all, wasting it would be a great shame.

Thus, Lin Mu watched over Luo Liqin for a while until his injuries healed.

Lin Mu's immortal sense was scanning Luo Liqin's body and a.n.a.lyzing the injuries beforehand too. And now they were keeping a check on how well they healed and whether there were any after effects left.

'Yao Changying's attack don't leave remnant Sword energy or intent within the body. That's a good thing, or perhaps she didn't think to use that level of power.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

A swordsman could choose to infuse his sword energy and sword intent into the attacks that would linger in the body of the victim. This could further aggravate their injuries and cause lingering damage.

If left untreated, they could get worse over time with some even crippling them at first contact.

That was the first thing that Lin Mu had checked for and was relieved that there was nothing like that. After all, from what Lin Mu had heard so far, Yao Changying sounded exactly like the person that would do it.

'Though Luo Liqin's body cultivation in the past has also helped him. It is certainly a.s.sisting him in healing faster.' Lin Mu noticed.

Soon enough, Luo Liqin was done healing his wounds and all the medicinal energy was absorbed. In fact, the effect was even greater than he had expected.

"My hidden injuries are healed too the flow of Qi is smoother than before." Luo Liqin muttered.

He then looked up at Lin Mu with emotion in his eyes.

"Thank you for this grace, Daoist Mu Lin." The man said with grat.i.tude. "I will surely pay you back." He said with determination.

"Don't mind it. Plus, what we are going to do will give a return hundred times more than the value of the pills." Lin Mu replied.

Hearing this, Luo Liqin was now intrigued. Now that he didn't have to worry about his injured body, he could think of other things.

"What are we going to do?" Luo Liqin asked.

"Let's talk elsewhere. Won't be good to let stray ears hear it." Lin Mu said before turning around..

"Ah! I'm coming." Luo Liqin quickly got up and followed after the man.

The healers didn't pay much attention to them other than when they left the pavilion. They simply marked him as having been discharged.

They didn't care that Lin Mu had healed the man this quickly either. After all, they could do the same as long as the people were willing to pay more.
