The Cool and Aloof Senior Sister Always Flirts with Me

Chapter 6: Drunken Spring Tower (3)

Yan Jue wandered around the market for quite a while before finally finding what she was looking for.

A medicine stall.

The stall was tended by a peacock demon, who asked expressionlessly, "What medicine do you want?"

Yan Jue replied, "Do you have any medicine for treating wounds? Like, say, a stab wound in the abdomen—something to help heal a long cut."

They say demons are omnipotent; what if there really is such a thing?

The peacock demon said, "Sure."

Yan Jue:！！！

The demon whispered something to a nearby spirit beast, which then turned around, rustling as it ate something. After a moment, its hind legs tensed as if it were straining, and it produced a pale blue pill.

Yan Jue was astonished. She had read many cultivation novels and knew that any pill in the cultivation world required raw materials to be refined.

The thing the spirit beast had just eaten must have been the material, which it then instantly transformed into the pill.

This spirit beast must be quite rare.

The peacock demon continued, "This pill can heal wounds and stop bleeding effectively, and it even has the ability to bring someone back to life."

Yan Jue, having no hairpin left, untied her pouch from her waist and asked, "Can I trade this for it?"

The peacock demon responded, "Not enough. Young lady, I'm not joking; this spirit beast is an extremely rare medicinal beast from the northern regions. The medicine it produces is never of ordinary quality!"

Reluctantly, Yan Jue took out her Qiankun bag, emptied all her possessions—a total of ten low-grade spirit stones, plus her pouch and handkerchief. Finally, she managed to exchange them for a pill.

Overall, it was still quite a bargain.

Although it felt a bit unreliable, she had no idea where else to find medicine at such a late hour.

On the way back to the Drunken Spring Pavilion, Yan Jue pulled out a talisman.

The killer had agile movements and a high mastery of lightness skills.

Her own cultivation was at the early Foundation Establishment stage. With the bloodline of a fox demon, she still couldn't keep up with her opponent's pace, suggesting that the killer's cultivation was likely no less than the mid Foundation Establishment stage.

This indicated that the intelligence she received was incorrect.

The task's difficulty far exceeded what a beginner's task should entail—this was no longer something she could handle on her own.

Yan Jue tried to inject her spiritual awareness bit by bit into the talisman. After a lengthy explanation of the current situation, she requested reinforcements from the management pavilion.

Yan Jue knew how naive this was; if this were an A-level task, that would be one thing, but who would take a D-level task seriously?

Still, she clung to a faint hope.

Upon returning to the Drunken Spring Pavilion, Yan Jue went straight to the Morning Glow Hall, where Rou Yi resided.

Earlier, the killer had acted stealthily, allowing the madam to suppress the news, but tonight, Rou Yi's loud cries had startled the few remaining guests downstairs.

The entrance to the Morning Glow Hall was surrounded by people.

"No way! Another life lost? Wasn't there a case six months ago with Li Huaiqi?"
