Chapter 870 Not Just for Myself
The bird demon's name is also quite common. Because its master is called Mingyi, it is called Chongtian, which means soaring to the sky.
After Pan Jun heard this, she was silent for a moment, then continued to stroke the fur on its neck and build a bond with it: "It's a very suitable name."
The bird demon exhaled a breath at her, turned around, and faced her with its rear end.
Xuanmiao turned and left: "Stop teasing it. It needs the Wisdom-Opening Pill to cultivate now. It won't betray us. Come and heal its wounds."
Upon hearing this, Pan Jun immediately withdrew her hand and followed along eagerly. As long as it was loyal, that was good; she was just afraid it would rebel during a fight.
The big black bird watched the two figures leave, then lifted its foot to follow them down the hillside. It simply squatted down at the cave entrance, blocking out the last bit of cold wind.
Inside the cave, Tao Ji opened his eyes, his face still pale and his lips bloodless.
Upon seeing Pan Yun, he couldn't help but smile: "Junior Sister is here?"
Pan Yun sat down opposite him: "Senior brother, how did you get so badly injured?"
Tao Ji touched his chest and said, "I wasn't paying attention and someone slapped me in the chest. Luckily, I had the life-saving medicine that my senior brother gave me, which saved my life in time."
Seeing that Pan Yun's face and lips were also pale, clearly indicating that she had suffered serious injuries and was deficient in both qi and blood, he felt sorry for her and asked, "How did you also suffer such serious injuries?"
Pan Jun also touched his chest: "I met a great lama. His cultivation level was at the first marquis level, but not quite at the second marquis level. However, he didn't fare well either. He was injured more badly than I was."
Xuanmiao: "Is this something to be proud of?"
She frowned at her: "Your dantian is more robust than others, not to mention your meridians are wider, and your Niwan Palace is even better than ordinary people. As a result, your merit energy has become dull and gray, you are burdened with karmic debts, your dantian is empty, and your meridians are blocked, all because you fought a first-rank marquis to perfection?"
Tao Ji explained, "Your fourth senior sister has always been challenging opponents of higher levels. This time, when we went to challenge the Mingying Sect, we encountered two number one marquises."
Pan Yun: "...Wouldn't that expose their ancestors?"
Tao Ji looked proud.
Pan Yun felt a pang of sympathy, but her heart ached with guilt: "Senior brother, senior sister, you've taken too much risk. You've actually challenged the entire Mingying Sect for my sake..."
“It’s not for you,” Xuanmiao shifted uncomfortably, looked away, and said expressionlessly, “This isn’t our first time going to the Mingying Sect. We’re going this time to find medicine, not entirely for you.”
Tao Jichong smiled at Pan Yun and said softly, "Although we were injured on this trip to the Mingying Sect, it was worth it. We found the medicine we've been looking for."
"Is this the medicine for Senior Brother Zhang?"
Tao Ji smiled and nodded. He took out a bunch of medicine bottles from his space and picked out three for her: "This one is for repairing the dantian and meridians, this one is for restoring qi and blood, and this one is for restoring vital energy. The medicines used do not conflict with each other, so you can take them together for better results."
They formulated their own recipes and refined their own pills, taking all factors into account when making them, so the medicinal materials used were the most suitable.
Tao Ji said they could eat them together, so Pan Yun poured out three round, swirling pills and popped them into her mouth one by one.
The medicine rushed into his lungs and internal organs, and Pan Yun immediately sat cross-legged to meditate.
Tao Ji then casually poured out three pills and presented them to Xuanmiao.
Xuanmiao frowned slightly.
Tao Ji quickly replied, "There's more. I've recovered a bit after eating this. I'll just buy more herbs and refine it. These are turbulent times, so you need to recover as soon as possible."
Xuanmiao recalled that it was because she was injured and not paying attention yesterday that she failed to protect Tao Ji, allowing him to be slapped by that old bald monk.
The lamas insisted on getting involved in the affairs of the Mingying Sect.
Xuanmiao's face darkened for a moment, then he reached out and took the medicine, popping it directly into his mouth. Tao Ji then took a healing pill and put it in his mouth as the three of them sat facing each other, taking medicine to heal their wounds.
Nothing happened that night. Pan Yun opened her eyes as the sunlight streamed in.
She looked down at her palm, felt the energy within her body, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.
Although this medicine wasn't as potent as her senior brother's life-saving medicine, it was still enough to help her recover quite a bit.
Pan Yun's lips regained some color, and she looked at Xuanmiao and Tao Ji opposite her.
Both of them had their eyes closed and their bodies were filled with spiritual energy, clearly still in a meditative state.
Pan Yun watched the two of them quietly for a while, then got up and walked out of the cave without making a sound.
The large black bird guarding the cave suddenly poked its head out from under its wings, its two bright eyes staring at Pan Jun's chest.
Pan Xiaohei seemed to sense it, and peeked out from Pan Jun's clothes, glanced at the big black bird, and then shrank back inside.
The rapid loss of merit, the added sins, and the pressure from the Heavenly Dao made it very uncomfortable. If it weren't for its reluctance to part with this cat body, it would have long since retreated back into its original form, letting Pan Jun bear the force of rejection.
Perhaps it was because Pan Yun had recently interfered too deeply in mortal politics, causing some things to happen prematurely. People who should have died didn't, while people who shouldn't have died were dying one after another, making the Heavenly Dao aware of these two huge bugs...
No, that's not right. Pan Yun isn't a bug, because she was born normally. It's just that it was there at the time, so she retained her memories of her past life. It was that bug.
Pan Xiaohei is in great pain right now, feeling a sense of destruction both physically and mentally.
It clearly knows that it needs to accumulate merit!
For it to continue to exist and remain conscious in this world, it needs to accumulate a great deal of merit.
I don't know what its original owner was thinking, sealing it away with such a complicated formation.
It has feelings, and when it adds more sins, and its merits and sins can no longer offset each other, that is when it will be completely sealed away and return to chaos.
But it glanced at Pan Yun and remained silent, knowing that Pan Yun must know as well.
But things are different now; it trusts Pan Yun!
It was certain that she wouldn't let it be sealed back, so when faced with the black bird's provocation, it merely glanced at it contemptuously before retreating, its eyes looking down on it.
It doesn't even worry about Xiao Hong and Hong Yan, so why would it worry about a demon that appears out of nowhere?
He's just a wage earner, not worth mentioning.
The big black bird stared wide-eyed, and when it saw Pan Xiaohei shrink back, it couldn't help but peck at it, but Pan Yun grabbed its beak.
She smiled, flipped over and jumped onto the big black bird. Just as she was about to take off, she saw Xuanmiao standing at the entrance of the cave.
The two sisters looked at each other for a moment, and Pan Yun said, "Senior sister, please take care."
Xuanmiao: "Your sins are grave; you should think more about yourself."
She looked up at the dark sky in the southeast and said in a deep voice, "Changing the fate of the nation may not be a good thing for you. It's not too late to turn back now. With your abilities, you can proceed at a steady pace."
Pan Yun: "But people can't live in this world just for themselves forever. I hope that the land I live on will get better and better, and that people under the same sky will get better and better."
Pan Yun said, "I won't regret what I've already decided to do."
