Chapter 92 - Deputy Han
"Uwaah, this guy is beyond saving!"
Wu Kun received extremely severe internal and external injuries as almost all of his bones were broken, his internal organs and meridians damaged. Worse yet, the most important part of cultivators, which was the Dantian, was also crippled.
Qin Yi did not know that drinking wine could end up in this state.
Thus, he murmured: "I have to be careful drinking wine in the future..."
With these kinds of severe injuries, it was already a miracle that Wu Kun still managed to preserve his life.
Then again, even if Wu Kun were still alive, his career as a cultivator would have ended.
For cultivators, cripple Dantians were like death sentences for them.
"Forget it, let's save him first!"
Although Qin Yi previously said that Wu Kun's injuries were beyond saving, it was in the case for Wu Kun to be healed using common healing methods. However, Qin Yi's healing method was different...
Qin Yi immediately took out a bottle of water mixed with [heal].
He opened the bottle cap and pinched Wu Kun's cheeks from both sides using his other hand. After that, he dripped the water into Wu Kun's mouth drop by drop.
One drop...
Two drops...
...
Five drops...
..
Twenty drops...
Changes finally started to occur in Wu Kun's body. However, it was still not enough to completely heal him.
Qin Yi kept dripping his miraculous water into Wu Kun's mouth.
"Still not enough?"
However, when it exceeded a hundred drops, he finally got impatient. In the end, he shoved the bottle in Wu Kun's mouth.
However, Qin Yi seemed to have underestimated Wu Kun's injuries. Even after Wu Kun swallowed all of the water in the bottle, his wound was still not completely healed.
His miraculous water contained 5000 [Heal], which was equal to the efficiency of a Rank 2 Healing Pill.
He originally thought it should be enough by feeding Wu Kun with all the magic water in this bottle. However, it seems like Wu Kun's wound was so serious that even a Rank 2 Healing Pill couldn't heal it.
In that case, Qin Yi can only increase the amount of [Heal] to heal this fellow.
"Seriously, the government should ban this kind of wine..."
Though, he didn't know which government he was referring to.
A few minutes later, Wu Kun's body finally recovered completely. It's just that Wu Kun's Dantian, Qin Yi, still can't fix it even with his magic water.
"Well, I've done my best. My debt has also been greatly repaid by saving Wu Kun from the hands of that fiend cultivator and healing his injuries. As for the rest, let's leave it to Wu Kun himself!"
Qin Yi saved Wu Kun because he didn't want Li Hai to find fault with him. Besides, he still owed Wu Kun something.
Back then, when Wu Kun gave him a bottle of Summer Joyous Wine for free, he was already indebted to Wu Kun.
Although he also extracted the same thing from Wu Kun, extracting and receiving gifts were two different things.
By now, his debt of gratitude should have been paid more than even.
Qin Yi stood up and patted the nonexistent dust on his palms.
"What should I do now? My mission could be considered complete, but the crisis on this mountain is still ongoing. However, it is not my responsibility to save them, let alone prevent this tragedy from happening. The main point is that I don't have the capability to do that..."
Although he might be able to evacuate everyone on this mountain to the Mystical Garden, he couldn't do that!
He is not that foolish to reveal his secret treasure to people, especially those who have absolutely nothing to do with him.
He was willing to save the children from Green Willow Village because they were innocent children and knew nothing about cultivation-related objects.
Qin Yi crossed his arms across his chest as he pondered how to resolve this matter.
"Well, for now, let's report this incident to Senior Brother Li Hai."
Since this unnamed mountain is within the territory of the Sleeping Dragon Sect, it should be right for Li Hai as an inner sect disciple to take action. Moreover, he was the one who ordered Qin Yi and Wu Kun to investigate this mountain.
With Li Hai taking action personally, this matter should be easy to solve.
Although it might be a little late, there was still enough time before the blood ritual began.
With Li Hai's speed using Jin Shen, it only took him an hour to get here.
Furthermore, his senior brother was extremely powerful.
Although Qin Yi couldn't accurately estimate his senior brother's strength, he could feel that his senior brother's aura was much stronger than the man he had just met.
He just hoped that Li Hai could outmatch that whatever king...
If Li Hai managed to save this mountain from the Blood Crimson Sect's hands, the children in his hands might be able to return to their village and reunite with their relatives.
"Great!"
With that kind of mind, Qin Yi carried Wu Kun on his shoulders.
The next step, he jumped into the void and appeared again somewhere in Ancient Dragon City.
***
When Qin Yi arrived at the Guardian Temple, he immediately asked the temple guard to call Li Hai.
With the identity token in Li Hai's possession that he received a while ago, the guard immediately believed him and immediately went to find Li Hai.
But unfortunately, it was someone else who appeared, not his Senior Brother Li Hai.
"Captain Li is busy with other business. He hasn't returned to the temple for almost a month. Therefore, if this fellow cultivator doesn't mind, you can report your business to this humble one, and then I will relay it to Captain Li when he returns."
"By the way, below is Han Jue. Everyone here calls me Deputy Han."
This Deputy Han could be described as having an advantageous face, with a handsome face and distinct pupils.
It's just that his skin is too pale like a corpse, and there are dark circles in his eyes like he hasn't slept for days.
As for his strength...
It's something that doesn't need to be asked again.
As someone who had managed to climb to the deputy position in a force like Guardian Temple, his cultivation base must at least reach the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Though, Qin Yi doesn't know the exact stage.
"It turned out Deputy Han. Before Captain Li and I part ways last time, he said to contact Deputy Han if I couldn't find him."
That was what Li Hai had said at their last meeting.
Qin Yi definitely remembers Deputy Han's name.
He was honestly grateful that it wasn't Li Hai that he had met at this time because Qin Yi was afraid that his senior brother would see through his cultivation base that he had been trying so hard to suppress.
But on the other hand, he also urgently needs the presence of his senior brother.
What a dilemma.
Fortunately and unluckily, it seemed that Li Hai was busy with something.
Did something happen in the inner sect?
Or maybe Li Hai is still chasing the dragon materials seller he met last time?
It sounded unbelievable that the senior brother of him still hadn't caught that person.
Maybe some other unknown business.
"Hmm?" When Deputy Han was about to ask the identity of the black-cloaked man, his eyes advertently fell on the person on the black-cloaked man's shoulder.
"Isn't that Wu Kun? I remember that he was assigned on an investigative mission in the southern unnamed mountain. How did he end up on your shoulders?"
Oh?
It seems like this Deputy Han already knew about Wu Kun's mission. In that case, everything is easy.
Therefore, Qin Yi began to tell about the mission of the two of them and what was going on in the unnamed mountain at the moment.
Qin Yi could see that although Deputy Han's face didn't change much, he was still shocked regardless.
He only hoped that this person would understand the graveness of this matter and send reinforcements to the unnamed mountain as soon as possible before it was too late.
"Deputy Han, I've recorded everything in this Recoder Talisman. Also, please take this fellow, my shoulders are already feeling stiff!"
Qin Yi handed over a Rank 2 Talisman, which was especially useful for recording sound. He also did not forget to hand over the person who had been unconscious for a long time on his shoulders.
"So, what happened to Wu Kun?" Deputy Han asked curiously.
Although Qin Yi had already informed him of the situation on the unnamed mountain, he had not been informed about how Wu Kun ended up like this.
Qin Yi originally wanted to tell him everything about his encounter with Wu Kun, but he decided to insert some made-up stories in his narration in a second thought.
He said that he accidentally found Wu Kun full of wounds and unconscious when he was about to get out of that mountain.
Since they both are fellow subordinates, he decided to save and heal Wu Kun using a Rank 2 Healing Pill.
