Chapter 59 Two Blood-Soaked People
"Sect Master Qin!"
When Lu Ming heard Qin Zhonghai calling out, he looked up and saw Qin Zhonghai standing at the entrance of a cave three zhang above the ground on the mountain wall in front of him. His face lit up with joy and he called out back.
Using his lightness skill, he leaped up and arrived beside Qin Zhonghai.
Seeing Qin Zhonghai covered in blood and extremely weak, his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked:
"Sect Leader Qin, how are you? Shall I take you back right now?"
Qin Zhonghai waved his hand slightly, stopping Lu Ming's actions, and said with a hint of satisfaction:
"The fact that you came to me proves that I didn't misjudge you. I can die without regrets knowing that I have recruited a genius of excellent character."
Lu Ming's expression changed slightly, "Sect Master Qin, you..."
Qin Zhonghai sighed, "If Pavilion Master Lei comes looking for me, perhaps I will still have a chance to survive."
"I was struck by that mysterious man's palm, and my heart ruptured. Although I was temporarily saved by a holy medicine for healing, I will still die within half an hour if I do not receive treatment."
"At your speed, even with me in tow, we won't get back to Chiyun County in half an hour. Besides, I can't handle any jolting right now."
"Unless you can find a few rare medicinal herbs within half an hour, but... alas!"
Clearly, Lu Ming didn't know anything about medicinal herbs, and he couldn't find those rare herbs within half an hour.
However, the fact that Lu Ming came to find him already offered him some solace. At least before he died, his heart wasn't filled only with resentment. He was content with the current situation.
Lu Ming frowned and said, "Pavilion Master Lei didn't come looking for you at all... Wait, you said you were looking for medicinal herbs?"
Lu Ming's heart skipped a beat, and he turned his head to look, seeing Li Hu huffing and puffing as he climbed up from the bottom of the mountain wall.
With Li Hu's advanced skin-refining cultivation and lack of lightness skills, he couldn't climb the steep stone wall as easily as Lu Ming.
"Sect Master Qin!" Li Hu said, looking at Qin Zhonghai with some awe.
"Hmm." Qin Zhonghai recognized that this was Lu Ming's friend and nodded to him.
Lu Ming's eyes lit up, and he said, "Sect Master Qin, he is my friend. It was because I brought him with me that I was able to find you so quickly."
"He came from a background of herb gathering, and he is very skilled at finding things, especially medicinal herbs."
"Quickly tell him what medicinal herbs he needs. Let him try them."
Qin Zhonghai was taken aback, staring at Li Hu for a moment. "You're quite good at finding medicinal herbs?"
Li Hu nodded quickly and said, "Yes, I know a little about medicinal herbs. If Pavilion Master Qin needs any medicinal herbs, just tell me."
Qin Zhonghai hesitated for a moment, then thought to himself, "I might as well try anything, especially since this is Lu Ming's kind gesture."
He then said, "I need to find Tianxingzi (天星子), Zhixuezhu (止血珠)... Do you recognize these medicinal herbs?"
He named five medicinal herbs in a row, and Li Hu immediately replied, "I recognize them, and I've found them all before. Then, Pavilion Master Qin and Senior Brother Lu, I'll go find them right now."
Lu Ming nodded. "Thank you."
Watching Li Hu leap down the mountainside, he quickly ventured deep into the forest to search for medicinal herbs.
Lu Ming thought about it and decided not to go.
Qin Zhonghai is covered in blood now, and there's no guarantee that some wild beasts won't come looking for him. If they find the medicinal herbs, but Qin Zhonghai is killed by wolves, insects, tigers, and leopards, then the joke will be far too serious.
However, he secretly used his Heavenly Leakage Divine Power to keep watch for any movement within a radius of two hundred feet, acting as a lookout for Li Hu.
Fortunately, no suspicious persons were seen.
Nearly half an hour later, Li Hu finally ran out of the forest. Lu Ming hurriedly leaped down, grabbed his shoulder, jumped up the mountain wall, and arrived at the cave entrance.
At this moment, Li Hu was panting heavily, covered in sweat, and looked exhausted. Clearly, he had been running and searching non-stop for the past half hour.
Although tired, I happily put down a small package, opened it, and revealed several medicinal herbs of different colors.
These medicinal herbs still had soil attached, emitting the scent of earth and herbs.
"We were lucky this time, we found them all!" Li Hu said with a smile.
Qin Zhonghai was extremely weak at this moment, his eyes were almost closed, and he could die at any moment.
Li Hu's arrival startled him, and he immediately became much more energetic.
His eyes widened as he glanced at the medicinal herbs on the ground, and he was moved as he looked at the grinning Li Hu.
He saw that Li Hu had torn off a piece of his clothes and used it to wrap the medicinal herbs.
"Thank you so much, young friend! And Lu Ming, you both saved my life this time." Qin Zhonghai said solemnly.
Without hesitation, he picked up the medicinal herbs from the ground and stuffed them into his mouth, swallowing even the dirt stuck to them. In this critical moment, he couldn't care less about anything else.
After consuming these medicinal herbs, their effects combined and dispersed, immediately improving Qin Zhonghai's pale complexion and gradually restoring its rosy hue.
Seeing this, Lu Ming felt relieved and said, "Sect Leader Qin, is that alright?"
Qin Zhonghai did not answer, but closed his eyes to regulate his breathing. Under Lu Ming's Heavenly Leakage Divine Vision, Qin Zhonghai's aura rebounded, and the number of black leaking points decreased significantly.
Previously, Qin Zhonghai's entire body was covered in black acupoints.
After a long while, Qin Zhonghai opened his eyes, revealing a hint of joy, and said, "The injuries have stabilized for the time being, but a ruptured heart is no small matter. Only a master physician can bring him back to life."
Lu Ming quickly said, "I'll take Pavilion Master Qin back to the city to find a doctor right now."
Qin Zhonghai shook his head. "The doctors in Chiyun County couldn't cure my injuries. Moreover, Lei Wanchun refused to help me when I was dying. I'm very disappointed in him and will never trust him again."
Speaking of Lei Wanchun, his eyes turned cold. This time he had truly seen through this man. After returning to the prefectural city, he would definitely settle this matter.
He looked at Li Hu thoughtfully and asked, "What's your name? Are you also a disciple of the Martial Arts Department?"
Li Hu quickly replied, "Reporting to Pavilion Master Qin, my name is Li Hu. Like Senior Brother Lu, I am a disciple of the Martial Arts Department."
Qin Zhonghai nodded slightly, then turned to Lu Ming and said, "Lu Ming, even among the officers of the Martial Arts Department, Wei Sizheng is a special case."
"Since he thinks highly of you, you should not leave Chiyun County."
"I am seriously injured and need someone to take care of me on my way to the prefectural city. I want to take Li Hu with me."
"Lu Ming, Li Hu, what do you two think?"
Upon hearing this, Li Hu paused for a moment, then looked at Lu Ming: "Senior Brother Lu, this..."
Lu Ming's heart skipped a beat. It was clear that Qin Zhonghai would take Li Hu there to thank him.
Li Hu had helped him a lot, and this time he had risked his life to come with him to find Qin Zhonghai. He had originally planned to give him some demon meat as a token of his gratitude.
But now, if he is chosen by Qin Zhonghai, it would be a stroke of luck for him.
Lu Ming pondered for a moment and said, "But Li Hu is still serving his mandatory military service?"
Qin Zhonghai smiled and said, "I can transfer him to the Military Service Division of the Prefectural City."
Upon hearing this, even the slow-witted Li Hu realized that Qin Zhonghai was trying to elevate him, and his face lit up with joy as he looked at Lu Ming again.
He had this opportunity entirely because he was following Lu Ming, so he had to see what Lu Ming thought first.
Upon hearing this, Lu Ming thought of Li Youning, who had also been transferred to the Military Service Department, and couldn't help but feel resentful.
Some martial arts instructors couldn't even leave the instructor's office after three months, but for a strong person like Qin Zhonghai, they could be mobilized at will.
Of course, with Wei Jinlin as his powerful backer, Lu Ming naturally wouldn't feel envious.
He laughed and said, "That's a good thing, of course I have no problem with it."
Upon hearing this, Li Hu said happily, "Thank you, Senior Brother Lu, and thank you, Pavilion Master Qin."
"I still have ten Enlightenment Pills on me, you can use them. Lu Ming, see you in the city!" Qin Zhonghai handed Lu Ming a bottle of Enlightenment Pills and then hurriedly left with Li Hu.
Lu Ming held the pill in his hand, his heart filled with joy; this was a good thing.
"Oh, right, Senior Brother Lu." Just as they were about to enter the forest, Li Hu suddenly remembered something and turned to him, saying:
"When Wu Yong, the blood-soaked man, appeared just now, Senior Brother Lu left halfway and settled me on a hillside. I saw two blood-soaked men in the forest."
Two blood-soaked figures?!
