Chapter 870
The man only sold medicine . He didn’t do consultations .
The disciples from the Wuji Sword Sect felt that the man was swindling them .
Su Yiqiu asked the man, “How much is your medicine?”
“It cannot be bought by money,” the man said .
“What do we need to use to buy it then? Spirit stones? We have some on us . How much do you need?” The currency for normal people was different from the currency of cultivators .
The man shook his head . “I don’t need spirit stones, either . ”
The disciple that got poisoned was on the brink of death . Everyone got impatient . “What do you want?”
“Life . ”
The man’s gentle voice sounded as though it was tainted with ice . Everyone shivered uncontrollably .
Life?
“One medicine, ten years of your life . ”
Shua—
The disciples from Wuji Sword Sect took out their swords and pointed them at the man . “Who on earth are you!”
“A physician . ”
“No physician would ask for people’s lives . Also, how are we supposed to give you our lives?”
The man didn’t say anything . His attitude was humble and gentle . It was hard to get angry at him .
One medicine, ten years of your life .
What sorcery is this?
“I will give it to you . ”
“Junior Sister Su!” The disciples from Wuji Sword Sect quickly stopped Su Yiqiu . “We don’t know where this person came from . He might not be speaking the truth . ”
“Do you have a better way to save our senior brother?” Su Yiqiu looked at him with her clear eyes .
“Junior Sister Su…”
They were all men . How could they let a woman save them?
But it was life!
Ten years…
“Senior Brother came out with us . We already lost… no matter what, I must save our senior brother . ” Su Yiqiu was firm . “Master, please . ”
The man took out his hand from his sleeve .
Fang Wan suddenly stood up . “I am willing to give you my life too . Senior Brother was protecting me . Let me do it . ”
Su Yiqiu felt that she agreed already so she didn’t want anyone else to sacrifice themselves because of her decision .
She rejected Fang Wan’s offer .
However, Fang Wan felt that Su Yiqiu wanted to gain recognition so she didn’t want to take a step back .
“Can we give you five years of our lives each?” Fang Wan suddenly said to the man .
The man thought for a while . “Sure . ”
Su Yiqiu couldn’t persuade Fang Wan so she agreed to this proposal .
The man didn’t do anything to them . He just placed his hand on their foreheads . Su Yiqiu felt something cold being sucked out of her body .
On the other hand, Fang Wan was a little uncomfortable .
If Su Yiqiu didn’t look normal, she would have thought that this person came to kill her .
The man retracted his hand after a while . He stared at Fang Wan intently .
“Is there… is there a problem?”
The man placed his hand back into his sleeve . “Take care, my lady . ”
Fang Wan frowned . What does he mean?
He didn’t say anything to Su Yiqiu just now .
The man asked them to take his basket over and passed them a porcelain bottle . “He will be fine after consuming this . ”
Everyone hurriedly fed it to the disciple .
Amazingly, the disciple started recovering at a very fast speed .
The man saw this and put his basket on his back . He walked out of the array and said, “Don’t kill anything for 49 days . Not even a flower or grass . Remember this . ”
The snakes outside the array went around him too .
“Lady, do you want to go down the mountain together?”
When he walked past Ming Shu, the man asked her this softly .
Ming Shu looked at the Lianjing sword and then glanced at the basket on the man’s back . She turned and walked down the mountain .
The man followed her and they disappeared into the forest .
…
On the mountain road…
Ming Shu walked in front casually . There were a lot of snakes on the trees and they kept hissing as they stuck out their tongues .
The man followed behind her at a steady pace .
Ming Shu turned back . “Why do you want me to buy your medicine?”
She had seen the man’s ability so she knew that there was a reason behind his request .
The man slowly replied, “You don’t have much time left . ”
“Oh . ” Her body would not live for a long time so it was normal that she didn’t have much time left . It was nothing surprising .
The man seemed puzzled . “Are you not afraid?”
“Everyone will die . What is there to be afraid of . ”
I will be alive again in the next world .
The man smiled . “You are really interesting . ”
“You are even more interesting . You can buy and sell life . ” Ming Shu smiled . “However, since I am dying, I don’t know what I can pay you with . ”
She didn’t think anyone was willing to use their own life to buy their life .
The man answered her blatantly, “Spirit . ”
“The spirit after a person dies?”
“Yes . ” The man’s gentle voice echoed in the forest . “One medicine, one spirit . ”
Ming Shu suddenly turned around and looked at the man .
The man’s clothes flowed gently in the wind . A few small snakes slithered around his feet .
Ming Shu narrowed her eyes . “You are not human, right?”
The man replied, “I never said that I was human . ”
He just said that he was a physician . He never said that he was human before .
Ming Shu plucked a fruit from the tree beside the path . “When will I die?”
The man replied, “I thought that you didn’t care about that . ”
Ming Shu sighed . “I have to see how much time I have left . I cannot…”
The man’s expression froze .
Ming Shu took a bite of her fruit . “I cannot miss any good food in this world . ”
The man paused for a while . He thought that she had something important that she must do .
The man said, “I don’t know when you will die . ”
Ming Shu replied, “I thought you knew everything . ”
The man continued, “Only an immortal will know everything . I am not an immortal . I am just a physician . ”
Ming Shu said, “If all the physicians are like you, the country would be a mess . ”
The man replied, “I am the only one in this country . Don’t worry . If I don’t have fate with someone, I will not meet them . ”
Ming Shu smiled . “That means that we have fate?”
The man nodded . “You can say so . I met you twice . ”
Ming Shu smiled brightly . “Since that is the case, why don’t you give me some of the fruit in your basket?”
The man: “…” He felt that she chatted with him so that she could get the food in his basket?
The man passed her two of the fruits in the basket .
Ming Shu realized that this person was really nice . If he met anyone that needed help, he would help them .
However, she never saw him buying life again .
“Normal people can’t afford to buy life . ” The man took the initiative to explain to her .
“Normal people can live to an average age of 60 years . There is nothing wrong with taking away ten years of their life . Why can’t they afford it?”
The man shook his head . He didn’t explain any further .
Ming Shu waved the green bristlegrass in her hand and commented, “You are discriminating against them . ”
“…”
“Cough… lady, the city is right in front of us . Are you not planning to keep this sword?” The man reminded Ming Shu .
Ming Shu looked at the replica behind her which was swaying like a drunkard . “I can’t order it around . ”
They had an equal bond . She could use it, but she couldn’t order it around .
The high quality replica of the Yi Xie sword: Buzz buzz!
