Chapter 7.1: Tossing My Treasure
“Th-thank you, Senior Brother, for saving me. I will remember this kindness forever, and will repay you greatly in the future,” Ye Han said with difficulty.
Previously, he had been attacked by eight outer sect disciples and heavily injured twice by Bai Shaowei.
It was already remarkable that he could speak at all.
“It was just a small effort,” Li Xun replied with a warm smile.
Hearing Ye Han’s promise of future repayment, his smile grew even warmer.
He bent down, extended a hand to help Ye Han up, and said, “I see that your injuries are quite serious. It will take some time to recover.”
“Fortunately, I have a Blood Qi Pill here. Today, I’ll give it to you,” he continued, flipping his palm to reveal a crimson pill.
“This…” Ye Han’s Adam’s apple moved as he hesitated. “Senior Brother, I am already deeply grateful for your help. I cannot accept your pill.”
“It’s just a small pill. Your injuries are more important,” Li Xun insisted, placing the pill in Ye Han’s hand.
“I…” Ye Han looked at the pill in his hand, feeling a surge of warmth.
This was the first time since joining Profound Sun Sect that he felt a bit of warmth in the cultivation world.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Han stepped back, enduring his injuries, and cupped his hands in a difficult bow. “I am deeply grateful. Should Senior Brother need anything in the future, I will not hesitate.”
‘Finally!’ Li Xun thought.
This was exactly what he had been waiting for!
Whether Ye Han was the protagonist of this world, Li Xun wasn’t sure.
His system didn’t have the ability to identify someone with protagonist-like fate.
However, someone who could attract blue investments must have considerable luck.
As long as Ye Han survived, his future achievements would be significant.
When Ye Han grew stronger, today’s promise would be incredibly valuable.
“Junior Brother Ye, there’s no need for this. Your injuries are severe; you should return and rest,” Li Xun said.
“Then, I’ll take my leave,” Ye Han replied, cupping his hands before limping away. “I won’t see you out,” Li Xun said, returning the gesture.
As Ye Han hobbled away, the familiar sound of the system echoed in Li Xun’s mind.
[Ding! Congratulations, Master. Investment successful. You have received the Pure Yang Body and an Azure Dragon Halberd. Would you like to claim them?]
‘Not now!’ Li Xun glanced around.
He was still outside, and claiming rewards now might cause unwanted phenomena that would be hard to explain.
After responding to the system, Li Xun quickly made his way back to his residence.
After Li Xun left, the place burst into discussion.
Though Li Xun’s actions were brief, many outer sect disciples had witnessed everything.
“Qi Condensation Realm!”
“Senior Brother Li Xun is actually in the Qi Condensation Realm!”
“It seems our Profound Sun Sect has another genius. Reaching the Qi Condensation Realm in just two years is exceedingly rare among all outer sect disciples!”
