Coming of the Villain Boss! Chapter 870 – The Sword That Breaks Through The Sky (12)

The man only sold medicine. He didn’t do consultations.

The disciples from the Wuji Sword Sect felt that the man was swindling them.

Su Yiqiu asked the man, “How much is your medicine?”

“It cannot be bought by money,” the man said.

“What do we need to use to buy it then? Spirit stones? We have some on us. How much do you need?” The currency for normal people was different from the currency of cultivators.

The man shook his head. “I don’t need spirit stones, either.”

The disciple that got poisoned was on the brink of death. Everyone got impatient. “What do you want?”

“Life.”

The man’s gentle voice sounded as though it was tainted with ice. Everyone shivered uncontrollably.

Life?

“One medicine, ten years of your life.”

Shua—

The disciples from Wuji Sword Sect took out their swords and pointed them at the man. “Who on earth are you!”

“A physician.”

“No physician would ask for people’s lives. Also, how are we supposed to give you our lives?”

The man didn’t say anything. His attitude was humble and gentle. It was hard to get angry at him.

One medicine, ten years of your life.

What sorcery is this?

“I will give it to you.”

“Junior Sister Su!” The disciples from Wuji Sword Sect quickly stopped Su Yiqiu. “We don’t know where this person came from. He might not be speaking the truth.”

“Do you have a better way to save our senior brother?” Su Yiqiu looked at him with her clear eyes.

“Junior Sister Su…”

They were all men. How could they let a woman save them?

But it was life!

Ten years…

“Senior Brother came out with us. We already lost… no matter what, I must save our senior brother.” Su Yiqiu was firm. “Master, please.”

The man took out his hand from his sleeve.

Fang Wan suddenly stood up. “I am willing to give you my life too. Senior Brother was protecting me. Let me do it.”

Su Yiqiu felt that she agreed already so she didn’t want anyone else to sacrifice themselves because of her decision.

She rejected Fang Wan’s offer.

However, Fang Wan felt that Su Yiqiu wanted to gain recognition so she didn’t want to take a step back.

“Can we give you five years of our lives each?” Fang Wan suddenly said to the man.

The man thought for a while. “Sure.”

Su Yiqiu couldn’t persuade Fang Wan so she agreed to this proposal.

The man didn’t do anything to them. He just placed his hand on their foreheads. Su Yiqiu felt something cold being sucked out of her body.

On the other hand, Fang Wan was a little uncomfortable.

If Su Yiqiu didn’t look normal, she would have thought that this person came to kill her.

The man retracted his hand after a while. He stared at Fang Wan intently.

“Is there… is there a problem?”

The man placed his hand back into his sleeve. “Take care, my lady.”

Fang Wan frowned. What does he mean?

He didn’t say anything to Su Yiqiu just now.

The man asked them to take his basket over and passed them a porcelain bottle. “He will be fine after consuming this.”

Everyone hurriedly fed it to the disciple.

Amazingly, the disciple started recovering at a very fast speed.

The man saw this and put his basket on his back. He walked out of the array and said, “Don’t kill anything for 49 days. Not even a flower or grass. Remember this.”

The snakes outside the array went around him too.

“Lady, do you want to go down the mountain together?”

When he walked past Ming Shu, the man asked her this softly.

Ming Shu looked at the Lianjing sword and then glanced at the basket on the man’s back. She turned and walked down the mountain.

The man followed her and they disappeared into the forest.

…

On the mountain road…

Ming Shu walked in front casually. There were a lot of snakes on the trees and they kept hissing as they stuck out their tongues.

The man followed behind her at a steady pace.

Ming Shu turned back. “Why do you want me to buy your medicine?”

She had seen the man’s ability so she knew that there was a reason behind his request.

The man slowly replied, “You don’t have much time left.”

“Oh.” Her body would not live for a long time so it was normal that she didn’t have much time left. It was nothing surprising.

The man seemed puzzled. “Are you not afraid?”

“Everyone will die. What is there to be afraid of.”

I will be alive again in the next world.

The man smiled. “You are really interesting.”

“You are even more interesting. You can buy and sell life.” Ming Shu smiled. “However, since I am dying, I don’t know what I can pay you with.”

She didn’t think anyone was willing to use their own life to buy their life.

The man answered her blatantly, “Spirit.”

“The spirit after a person dies?”

“Yes.” The man’s gentle voice echoed in the forest. “One medicine, one spirit.”

Ming Shu suddenly turned around and looked at the man.

The man’s clothes flowed gently in the wind. A few small snakes slithered around his feet.

Ming Shu narrowed her eyes. “You are not human, right?”

The man replied, “I never said that I was human.”

He just said that he was a physician. He never said that he was human before.

Ming Shu plucked a fruit from the tree beside the path. “When will I die?”

The man replied, “I thought that you didn’t care about that.”

Ming Shu sighed. “I have to see how much time I have left. I cannot…”

The man’s expression froze.

Ming Shu took a bite of her fruit. “I cannot miss any good food in this world.”

The man paused for a while. He thought that she had something important that she must do.

The man said, “I don’t know when you will die.”

Ming Shu replied, “I thought you knew everything.”

The man continued, “Only an immortal will know everything. I am not an immortal. I am just a physician.”

Ming Shu said, “If all the physicians are like you, the country would be a mess.”

The man replied, “I am the only one in this country. Don’t worry. If I don’t have fate with someone, I will not meet them.”

Ming Shu smiled. “That means that we have fate?”

The man nodded. “You can say so. I met you twice.”

Ming Shu smiled brightly. “Since that is the case, why don’t you give me some of the fruit in your basket?”

The man: “…” He felt that she chatted with him so that she could get the food in his basket?

The man passed her two of the fruits in the basket.

Ming Shu realized that this person was really nice. If he met anyone that needed help, he would help them.

However, she never saw him buying life again.

“Normal people can’t afford to buy life.” The man took the initiative to explain to her.

“Normal people can live to an average age of 60 years. There is nothing wrong with taking away ten years of their life. Why can’t they afford it?”

The man shook his head. He didn’t explain any further.

Ming Shu waved the green bristlegrass in her hand and commented, “You are discriminating against them.”

“…”

“Cough… lady, the city is right in front of us. Are you not planning to keep this sword?” The man reminded Ming Shu.

Ming Shu looked at the replica behind her which was swaying like a drunkard. “I can’t order it around.”

They had an equal bond. She could use it, but she couldn’t order it around.

The high quality replica of the Yi Xie sword: Buzz buzz!
