Chapter 597: Detoxification Spirit Pill

"Do you need to switch to human service?" the puppet asked.

"What is human service?" Senior Brother Zhu Yue asked urgently, as his third junior brother was on the brink of death, and every second counted.

"It means a human will take over to assist you."

"But first, you must answer my questions," the puppet stated.

"Water Mirror Sect, Zhu Yue, from Water Source Fairy City."

"Water Source Fairy City was destroyed, and it took us six months to get here," Zhu Yue said with a grim expression.

"Can you help my third junior brother first?"

"Your request is reasonable; transferring to human service now," the puppet said, its eyes glowing with spirit light.

"How may I assist you? This is the comprehensive service department of Lin Sen Fairy City," a pleasant female voice responded.

"My junior brother is severely poisoned and injured; we need detoxification and healing spirit pills urgently. Can you deliver them now? I will reward you handsomely," Zhu Yue pleaded.

A light curtain appeared before them, displaying various healing and detoxification spirit pills with their temporary prices.

"I want the most expensive one, the Tai Su Detoxification Spirit Pill."

Zhu Yue chose the pill priced at five hundred top-grade spirit stones.

"Please stay where you are; the Tai Su Detoxification Spirit Pill will be ready in three hours. Have your spirit stones ready," the puppet said, then returned to its mechanical state.

Zhu Yue hurried to his third junior brother, who was battling the deadly poison.

"Brother, hold on; the detoxification pill will be here in three hours," Zhu Yue reassured him.

The injured cultivator on the stretcher nodded, looking back at his son, who was infusing him with spiritual energy.

"Better to live poorly than to die well; thank you, Senior Brother," the injured man said with a weak smile.

Three hours later, a Small Spiritual Boat landed from the sky.

A member of the Hidden Spirit Sect approached, holding a jade bottle.

"Who ordered the urgent delivery? This is the Tai Su Detoxification Spirit Pill," the member said, addressing the exhausted group.

"Hello, friend. This is the pill I ordered; thank you for your trouble," Zhu Yue said, handing over a storage bag filled with spirit stones. He also offered ten top-grade spirit stones as a token of appreciation.

"No need; the delivery fee is already covered. Saving lives is the priority," the Hidden Spirit Sect member said, declining the extra spirit stones with a smile.

After all, the entire Lin Sen Fairy City area was under strict control, and accepting bribes could lead to a significant loss of points, making it impossible to redeem anything later.

"Thank you, friend."

Zhu Yue took the Tai Su Detoxification Spirit Pill and rushed to his third junior brother.

The junior brother’s body glowed with spirit light as a powerful wood energy worked to heal his core.

He coughed up a mouthful of poisoned blood, finally expelling the deadly toxin.

"I feel alive again," the third junior brother said, taking a deep breath.

"Dad, I thought I’d never see you again," the boy behind them said, tears streaming down his face.

“Haha, let’s not talk about such unlucky things now,” the third junior brother said, looking at his son, feeling as though he had been given a new lease on life.

Seeing this, Zhu Yue, who had been on edge for years, finally allowed himself to relax a little.

“Which fairy city did you come from?” the outer member of the Hidden Spirit Sect asked Zhu Yue.

“Water Source Fairy City. A hundred years ago, the city was overrun by the beast race, and my sect brothers and I have been wandering ever since,” Zhu Yue replied, his voice heavy with the weight of time.

When they fled the Water Mirror Sect, there were over ten thousand of them. Now, only a few hundred remained.

“You flew all the way here from Water Source Fairy City?” the outer disciple of the Hidden Spirit Sect asked, clearly shocked.

Zhu Yue nodded.

At that moment, the outer member of the Hidden Spirit Sect pulled out a communication artifact and called out, “Send a Large Spiritual Boat over here.”

“Friend, once you reach Lin Sen Fairy City, you’ll finally be able to live in peace,” the outer disciple said sympathetically.

After a hundred years of wandering in the wilderness outside the fairy city, it was hard to imagine what they had been through.

“Can we really rent a spiritual boat to get to the fairy city from here?” Zhu Yue asked, surprised.

“Of course. We’re already sending you healing and detoxification spirit pills—renting a spiritual boat is no trouble at all,” the outer disciple replied with a smile.

Not long after, a spiritual boat, hundreds of feet long, landed near Zhu Yue and his group.

“I get one free use of a spiritual boat each month. I’ll take you back to the fairy city,” the outer disciple offered.

“Thank you, friend. We appreciate your help.”

Meanwhile, Xu Fan was watching the group through the light curtain.

“Zhu Yue does indeed have a celestial tool on him, but it’s well hidden. Even a Great Ascension Master or a beast king wouldn’t be able to detect it,” Xu Fan remarked.

“Why are you showing me this, Grape?”

“To decide whether to kill them and take their treasures, or to bring them into our sect,” Xu Fan mused, stroking his chin.

“The Water Mirror Sect was destroyed by the beast race. The remaining three hundred or so disciples could be brought into the Outer Sect,” Grape’s voice chimed in.

“Is it because of that celestial tool?” Xu Fan asked.

“Yes. You’ve noticed it’s damaged, but if it can be repaired, it could significantly strengthen the sect.”

“What if they refuse to join the Hidden Spirit Sect?” Xu Fan asked, intrigued.

“Then we’ll sign a long-term strategic cooperation agreement with them,” Grape replied.

“Good thinking. Send someone to negotiate,” Xu Fan said, waving his hand.

For him, the allure of the celestial tool wasn’t as strong as it once had been.

“Understood.”

On the Large Spiritual Boat heading to Lin Sen Fairy City,

Zhu Yue gazed at the scenery below, finally allowing himself to relax.

From the outer member of the Hidden Spirit Sect, he had learned that all the powerful beast races within hundreds of thousands of kilometers of the fairy city had been wiped out. The area was now safe.

“Friend Chai, which sect is the strongest in Lin Sen Fairy City? And who is the respected elder guarding the city?” Zhu Yue asked curiously.

“The Hidden Spirit Sect is the strongest, and there’s no respected elder guarding the city at the moment,” the outer disciple replied.

“What about the beast race?”

“They’ve all been wiped out by our Hidden Spirit Sect,” the outer disciple said proudly.

Zhu Yue was about to say he had heard of their reputation, but then he realized he actually hadn’t.

“Don’t worry about it. Our sect keeps a low profile. It’s normal that you haven’t heard of us,” the outer disciple said with a smile.

He had been among the first batch of outer members of the Hidden Spirit Sect and hadn’t known about it before joining. Only afterward did he realize how valuable it was.

“Haha,” Zhu Yue laughed awkwardly.

As the spiritual boat sailed on, the outline of Lin Sen Fairy City came into view in the distance.

On the boat, the group who had wandered for a hundred years began to stir with emotion.

Some laughed, some cried, some had tears in their eyes, and others simply fell silent.
