74: Chapter 74 Having accomplished his task, he departed without a trace.

"Withdraw!"

Once the poison in the Prince of Lanzhou's body was completely purged, Ji Taichang withdrew the silver needles and let out a long breath of turbid air.

"The xuanming golden flame poison has been removed. As for using the Taiyi Azure Wood Art to nourish the Nascent Soul, I'll leave that to you."

Ji Taichang clapped his hands and turned to leave.

"Senior, please wait!"

"You have saved the Prince's life and are a great benefactor of the mansion. Please stay as a guest for a while so that we may prepare a thank-you gift for you..."

"Yes, indeed. We don't even know how to repay such a great kindness..."

"Speaking of which, we still don't know which Sect you hail from."

"Senior Elder Yao..."

Everyone in the mansion tried their best to persuade him to stay.

Even Divine Physician Elder Li rubbed his hands and gave a dry laugh, saying, "Fellow Daoist, if you have time, you are welcome to visit my Medicine King Valley..."

He was still hoping Ji Taichang would help treat his illness!

Ji Taichang thought for a moment and said, "As for the reward, I haven't decided yet. You can just owe me a favor for now. I'll come find you whenever I've made up my mind."

"Remember, I am an Elder of the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect, Yao Chen!"

Having said that.

Ignoring the pleas of the people in the mansion, Ji Taichang left after the matter was settled, leaving behind only a dashing and unrestrained silhouette.

"Ah! Fellow Daoist... Fellow Daoist, you must visit the Medicine King Valley when you have the time..."

Divine Physician Elder Li waved at Ji Taichang and shouted eagerly.

"Truly, there is always someone better. I was too arrogant in the past."

Shao Yangzi also watched Ji Taichang's departing figure quietly, a trace of admiration in his eyes!

"Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect... What kind of Sect is that? Why have I never heard of it?"

"Seventh Young Master, where did you find such a highly skilled physician?"

Everyone in the mansion racked their brains, but none had ever heard of the name Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect. They all instinctively turned their gaze toward Qin Wenhua!

"This... I don't know either."

Qin Wenhua gave a bitter smile. "I only know that the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect is a hidden Sect. As for my acquaintance with Elder Yao, it was just a chance encounter. I don't know much about him..."

Naturally, the people in the mansion didn't believe Qin Wenhua's explanation and began to question him one after another.

But Qin Wenhua truly didn't know more. At the same time, he didn't want to reveal anything about 'Yang Dingtian' to avoid drawing the Wuya Sect's attention. After all, 'Yang Dingtian' had beaten Wu Ji, the son of the Wuya Sect Master, and plundered all his wealth.

Thus, Qin Wenhua revealed nothing, maintaining a firm attitude.

Until a weak but majestic voice rang out.

"Wenhua, who exactly was the one who treated this King?"

On the sickbed.

The previously unconscious Prince of Lanzhou had woken up at some point. Although his face was still a bit pale, his aura had stabilized, and his brows regained some of their former spirit.

"That's wonderful! Your Highness, you've finally woken up. You had me worried to death..."

"Your Highness, Your Highness, how are you feeling?"

"Father..."

Everyone in the mansion was overjoyed and hurriedly gathered around to offer their concerns.

But the Prince of Lanzhou waved his hand impatiently, interrupting them. His sharp and steady gaze was fixed on Qin Wenhua from beginning to end!

Feeling immense pressure, Qin Wenhua could only whisper, "Senior instructed me not to disclose any related information. I can only tell you, Father."

"Very well, everyone else dismiss."

The Prince of Lanzhou spoke.

No matter how curious the others were, they could only obediently leave the room.

The Prince of Lanzhou raised his hand, and a powerful surge of spiritual power spread out, forming a barrier in the room to isolate it from the outside.

"Now you may speak."

Seeing this, Qin Wenhua no longer hid anything and honestly told the Prince of Lanzhou everything he knew.

"Yang Dingtian, Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect, Yao Chen..."

After listening, the Prince of Lanzhou couldn't help but mutter to himself, a flash of surprise in his eyes!

"I didn't expect that within the borders of the Great Wu Dynasty, there was such a powerful and mysterious hidden Sect!"

"No..."

"Perhaps they moved here from elsewhere; their origin is mysterious and extraordinary."

The Prince of Lanzhou said solemnly, "Wenhua, in the future, you must do your best to befriend the people of the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect. If they have any requests, you must fulfill them and inform this King immediately!"

"Your son understands!"

Qin Wenhua was overjoyed!!

With the Prince of Lanzhou placing such importance on the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect, and since it was the Elder Yao invited by Qin Wenhua who saved the Prince's life, Qin Wenhua's status in the Lanzhou Princes Mansion would surely rise!

He might actually have a chance to sit in the position of the Heir Apparent!!

Outside the door.

Qin Wenxi and Qin Wenyan both thought of this as well. Both of them clenched their fists, their eyes filled with a trace of resentment and anger!

The Shao Yangzi and Divine Physician Elder Li they had invited at such a great cost had ended up paving the way for Yao Chen, ultimately benefiting Qin Wenhua instead!!

...

After leaving the Lanzhou Princes Mansion, Ji Taichang quietly blended into the bustling streets, silently changing his appearance and temperament. After switching to another persona, he left Lanzhou City and began his return to the Qingyun Sect.

"The life-saving gratitude of a Great Wu Dynasty Prince and a Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse... Let me think, what kind of reward should I collect?"

Ji Taichang stroked his chin and fell into thought. "Asking directly for treasures and resources seems like a bit of a loss. Even if I can get a Magic Treasure, it won't play a critical role; having the fire cloud pill cauldron is enough."

"Forget it, I'll save this life-saving favor for now. I'll ask the Prince of Lanzhou for help when I encounter trouble later. I remember there seemed to be more than just two Nascent Soul Stage powerhouses in the mansion..."

Ji Taichang quickly made a decision.

"As for that old geezer from the Medicine King Valley, although he doesn't have much life left, his status and position are right there."

"If I help treat his injuries, it will be quite useful in the future."

"Medicine King Valley... I should find some time to visit. Maybe I can even snatch a few high-status patients from the Medicine King Valley's hands to gain more favors."

"After all, the Jianghu isn't just about fighting and killing; it's about the ways of the world and human relationships!"

Ji Taichang flew while contemplating.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he spotted an ancient city below.

"Looks a bit familiar. Isn't this Feiyun City where Li Jinlian is?"

Ji Taichang slapped his forehead.

He had been a bit distracted just now, so he flew off course and passed by Feiyun City.

"Since I'm already here... I still remember that woman Li Jinlian snatched half a purple jade vine from me and I haven't taken it back yet."

Ji Taichang immediately activated the Turtle Breath Art, concealing his entire aura, and slipped into the Lin family's residence silently.

With his current powerful cultivation and Divine Sense perception, he quickly located the position of the Lin family's treasury.

Ji Taichang's Divine Sense spread out, and with just a vibration of Soul Power, he knocked all the Lin family guards unconscious.

He pulled out the Quick Sword and slashed out streaks of powerful Sword Qi, directly cutting out the Lin family's treasury along with its foundation and taking it all away!

"Hmm?!"

The Lin Family Ancestor soon sensed a powerful surge of Sword Qi and his expression changed instantly!

When he arrived at the scene, he only saw a deep pit where the treasury had been; it had vanished into thin air!

"No... No!!"

"Which god-damned bastard did this? I swear I will kill you!!"

The Lin Family Ancestor's body trembled with rage, his eyes nearly bursting from their sockets. He soared into the sky, his Divine Sense spreading frantically in an attempt to search for the culprit.
