Save 36 people in 2 days

  Xia Mingyu gazed at Tang Ge, but Tang Ge didn't notice him. He just stood in the crowd, his eyes darting back and forth as if waiting for someone.

  When Freya walked out, Tong Ge's eyes suddenly lit up, and his gaze was like a hungry wolf seeing a rabbit, a beggar seeing gold coins!

  Needless to say, Tong Ge was there waiting for Freya.

  It wasn't just Tong Ge, there were many people around him, all of whom were men, and their eyes were more or less fixed on Freya.

  Xia Ming couldn't help but smile as he took in the scene: Freya's charm was indeed stunning, and it wasn't just the girls who were smitten - these young men were also infatuated.

  As soon as Freya came out, everyone rushed up and surrounded her.

  "Freya, I don't know if you'd be interested, but would you like to join me for dinner?" This was an invitation from a mature male instructor.

  "Miss Freya, you're as beautiful as ever, just like the fragrant rose in the morning, so perfect and moving..." Such cheesy words can be spoken, Xiaoming looked up to see that it was actually Lanning, that old rascal!

  Lan Ning also came to join in the fun, he drooled on his face and leaned forward, with flattering words pouring out of his mouth, this old rascal!

  Xia Ming was speechless, he had thought that Lan Ning's promise to send a love letter was just a joke, but this old guy actually came through.

  At this time, Tang Ge finally came forward, his face flushed with excitement: "Freyja teacher, can I invite you to lunch today? Last time, there were a few magic experiments that you mentioned that I didn't quite understand, and I'd like to ask for your guidance..."

  Xia Ming was taken aback, and Tang Ge's excuse was also a bit far-fetched - Big brother, you're obviously a warrior, why are you studying magic experiments? This is too obvious...

  Seeing this normally bold warrior also having a shy side, Xia Ming thought that indeed one thing can subdue another.

  Freya seemed to be accustomed to such enthusiasm. She smiled politely at everyone, refused one by one, and then quickly left the Qingyun Tower.

  Pursuers sighed, only Lan Ning was still smiling, Xia Ming was extremely suspicious that this old fellow was just here to join in the fun.

  "Brother Tang!" Xia Ming stepped forward and patted Tang Ge's shoulder.

  Hearing a familiar voice, Tang Ge subconsciously turned his head: "Xia Ming, little brother!"

  Tang Ge's face lit up with surprise: "Xia Ming, little brother, how did you end up at the Academy?" He glanced at the emblem of Flamecrest Academy on Xia Ming's magic robe and exclaimed, "You're also studying at Flamecrest Academy? That's great! I've been thinking about you lately!"

  "Yes, I'm afraid I'll have to call you senior now." Xiaoming smiled slightly. When they were exploring the Green Caterpillar Forest, Tang Ge was just a first-year student, and now in the new school year, he's in second grade. It's only proper to address him as senior.

  Tang Ge burst out laughing: "Xia Ming, little brother, just call me senior... huh? Your strength, you're actually at level 5?" Tang Ge's smile stopped abruptly, and his eyes widened in surprise.

  Xia Ming did not deliberately conceal his aura, and Tang Ge was surprised to find that Xia Ming had actually reached the level of a fifth-grade magician.

  "How is this possible..." Tong Ge was shocked, "Your strength has increased too quickly, we just left and you were only at level three, now you're already at level five!"

  Two people hadn't seen each other for less than a month, and within a month, they rose from third grade to fifth grade. This speed is simply astonishing. Tang Ge really couldn't imagine it, and he wanted to ask if there was still justice in this world!

  Xia Ming smiled and patted Tang Ge's shoulder: "Looking at your aura, you've also reached the threshold of level 6, and your cultivation is quite fast too."

  Old friends met, Xiaoming and Tang Ge were delighted to talk, chatting and laughing all the way, leaving Qingyun Tower.

  At this time, Lan Ning in the distance also turned her eyes and quietly followed behind Xiaoming and Tang Ge...

  Unconsciously, Xiaoming and Tangge had walked to the side gate of the college. Over there, a large crowd of students was gathered, seemingly in a commotion, with over a dozen people surrounding and discussing something.

  "Come on, let's go take a look!" Tang Ge couldn't sit still, pulling Xia Ming to join the commotion, pushing aside the students who were watching: "Make way, make way!"

  Xia Ming also squeezed into the crowd, took a closer look, and saw two people lying in the corner of the wall, one big and one small, all covered with tatters, their clothes were old and could only cover their bodies, their hair was messy.

  Among them, the big man seemed to be ill, shrinking in the corner of the wall, trembling all over, and occasionally making a low groan, looking very pitiful. The little boy beside the big man was about eleven or twelve years old, very thin and weak, but his big black eyes were very spirited and likable.

  "What's going on?" Tang Ge furrowed his brow and asked with a wave of his hand to the students beside him.

  The student next to him explained, "This is a father and son pair. The father seems to be a second-class warrior. It's said that he was poisoned during an adventure in the Shadow Forest. The little boy has brought his father to our academy entrance, hoping someone can cure him..."

  Poisoning?

  Xia Ming looked at the poisoned man with a strange gaze, only to see that there were no wounds on his body, but Xia Ming carefully discovered that there was a dark red spot on the man's neck, and several fine, almost invisible red lines spreading outward.

  "This is the poison of the White Bone Flower." Xiaoming muttered to himself, as a master pharmacist, he naturally understood the properties of countless herbs. The White Bone Flower was a relatively rare poisonous plant that only grew in cold and dark places, its toxicity was fierce, usually ordinary people would die within ten days after being poisoned. This poisoned man was a second-level warrior, his physique was much stronger than an ordinary person, which is why he had been able to hold on until now.

  But judging from this man's symptoms, he won't last for a few more days. If he can't be detoxified, he will definitely die within three days!

  The little boy was always perked up his ears to listen to the surrounding movement, as soon as he saw Xiaoming say out his father's poisoned name, his eyes lit up, grabbed Xiaoming's hem and said loudly: "Sir, sir please save my dad, no matter how much money it takes, I'll do whatever you want!"

  The little boy looked at Xiaoming with a determined face and hopeful eyes.

  "Little brother, do you still understand pharmacology?" Tang Ge stared at Xia Ming, thinking that this guy was truly a freak, with mysterious magical attainments, proficient in magical mineral materials knowledge, and seemingly also well-researched in medicine...

  The poor little boy kept tugging at Xiaoming's hem, Xiaoming sighed, he wasn't a softie, but this kid was really pitiful, if he could save him then so be it.

  "It's actually not difficult to save your father, as long as you can find the Blood of Rhinoceros and Sacred Heart Grass." Xiaoming said to the little boy.

  The little boy seemed to understand and yet not understand, pulling at Xiaoming's clothes and saying: "Sir, please save my father... as long as you can save him, I will definitely repay you..." As he spoke, the little boy was about to kneel down.

  The little boy knelt halfway but was held up by Xia Ming, looking at Xia Ming's somewhat gentle face, only to hear Xia Ming say: "You're a man, how can you casually kneel down to others."

  He helped the little boy up, and then turned to Tang Ge and said, "Brother Tang Ge, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to go to Wàn Xiàng Trading House to fetch two rare herbs: Rhinoceros Blood and Sacred Heart Grass." These two herbs were not commonly found, and probably only Wàn Xiàng Trading House would have them.

  "Don't worry, leave it to me!" Tang Ge patted his chest with a loud slap and ran off in a flash. He was indeed a warm-hearted person, even more enthusiastic than Xia Ming.

  The students who were watching did not disperse and most of them stayed, waiting to see how Xia Ming would rescue the little boy's father.

  In a little while, Tang Ge ran back, still holding the herbs in his hand. He handed all the herbs to Xia Ming and panted: "Done! Rhinoceros blood and sacred heart grass!"

  Xia Ming smiled as he took over, with these two herbs, as a master pharmacist, he could easily refine the antidote. After all, the antidote for the White Bone Flower poison, [Bi Ling San], was only a third-level medicine, and for Xia Ming, who was now a seventh-level pharmacist, it was easy to do.

  Xia Ming flipped his hand, and a flame burst out from the tip of his finger. The temperature rose instantly, melting the medicinal properties of the two herbs. Then, he took out test tubes and a crucible from the secret silver ring. Everyone's eyes widened as they saw Xia Ming rapidly manipulating the equipment. Half a minute later, a bottle of emerald green liquid emitting a rich spiritual energy had taken shape!

  "Here, take it." Xia Ming handed over a small bottle filled with the antidote, Bì Líng Sàn, to the little boy.

  The little boy carefully held the bottle, his expression moved everyone present. Under Tong Ge's encouraging smile, the little boy fed the antidote to the man...

  Xia Ming patted Tang Ge's shoulder and said, "Let's go."

  "Hey? Not waiting for this boy's old man to wake up?"

  "It's unnecessary."

  It's easy to detoxify the man, but Xia Ming doesn't want to wait for the man to wake up and thank him again, it's really troublesome, so he might as well leave now.

  A commotion arose from the crowd of onlookers, apparently the poisoned man had awoken.

  Right after that, the little boy rushed out from the crowd with a delighted face and said: "Big brother, big brother, thank you for saving my dad. May I know your name?"

  Xia Ming really wanted to say that his name was Lei Feng, but after thinking about it, he told the little boy his real name and then pulled Tang Ge away from here.

  In the crowd, Lan Ning, who had been following Xia Ming, stroked his chin and chuckled as he gazed at everything, muttering to himself: "Actually, he's also proficient in pharmacology... interesting little guy..."
