Chapter 21 Analgesics

  Lishi's eyelids were trembling slightly, and it could be seen that he was now having an unusually intense mental struggle in his heart.

  After a short while, his tightly closed eyes opened, staring fixedly at the medicine pill in Han Li's hand, with a frenzied glint in his eyes.

  Han Li didn't say anything else, and stuffed the pill into his mouth. He watched as he swallowed it with a gulp of saliva, then gently pulled out the silver needles that were inserted in his body one by one.

  After removing all the silver needles, the medicinal power of the medicine pill began to take effect. Li Shi Xiong's pale face rose with a few strands of abnormal redness, and his entire cheek gradually turned blood-red. At this time, his body convulsed again, his hands and feet started trembling, and his mouth emitted a low, mournful hum.

  It can be seen that he didn't want to lose face in front of Han Li, so he had lowered his voice as much as possible, but this inhuman pain still made him cry out.

  Lishi's roar grew louder and his body shook more violently, after a long time, his roar slowly subsided until the shouting sound completely disappeared.

  His face began to regain its normal luster, and his body also stopped **, it seemed that he had survived the most painful stage.

  Lethal brother slowly straightened his body, crossed his legs, closed his eyes again, and sat still in place to adjust his breath. Han Li found a clean mountain stone and casually sat down beside him, watching him recover his vitality.

  After a meal's time, Brother Li suddenly opened his eyes and jumped up with a long knife in hand, swinging it with force. The blade flashed, and the shining blade was already placed on Han Li's neck.

  "Give me a reason not to kill you!" Lishi's eyes gleamed with cold light, full of murderous intent.

  "I just saved your life, isn't that a reason?" Han Li's expression didn't change, but the corners of his eyebrows twitched slightly, and if one didn't look closely, they wouldn't have noticed.

  Lethal Brother's face slightly relaxed, but he still stared at Han Li with a pair of fierce eyes.

  "I knew before I saved you that you might kill me to keep the secret, but I didn't think you'd do it so quickly." Han Li finally let out a bitter laugh, with a hint of self-mockery on his face.

  "Cough! Even if I knew saving you would be looking for trouble, but since I've learned medicine, I couldn't just stand by and do nothing." Han Li sighed.

  Lethal brother listened, his face revealed a few points of awkward expression, the blade moved away from Han Li's neck slightly, but didn't completely remove the knife from his neck.

  Han Li secretly let out a breath of relief from within, and his tone became even more calm.

  "You don't have to worry that I'll tell others your secrets, one look and you can see I'm not a talkative person. If you're still worried, I can take an oath of poison, you should be able to see that I won't resort to any martial arts tricks. If you find out that I've broken my oath, you can easily kill me." Han Li calmly proposed this suggestion.

  "You swear an oath of poison." Lishi said with a straightforward tone.

  But Han Li didn't put his heart at ease until then, although he had observed the man's facial features before treating Lie Shi Xiong and thought that he wasn't a person who would forget kindness and repay it with malice, being ruthless and cruel. However, this couldn't be taken as absolute certainty; if he was a petty person who repaid kindness with enmity, Han Li could only use his sole defensive measure.

  Han Li thought of this and quietly moved his fingers away from an iron tube that was shrunk into the cuff.

  After Han Li made a solemn oath, Elder Li finally put away the long knife and sheathed it.

  Han Li touched his own neck, on which a shallow bloody mark was left by the sharp blade. It felt sticky to the touch and he also felt a chill on his back, apparently having sweated a lot.

  "This time was really close! I didn't think it through thoroughly enough, I must learn from this lesson and never do such a stupid thing again. It's their own business if others want to die or live, it has nothing to do with me." Han Li thought with some lingering fear.

  "Not enough benefits and no guarantee of success, next time I will never take the initiative to rescue others again." He made up his mind with a vicious determination in his heart.

  Han Li's first attempt at helping someone with ulterior motives directly led to his subsequent habit of not getting up early without a profit, and his originally somewhat innocent nature was completely abandoned. Although he didn't become a bad person, he strayed far from being loyal, kind and good.

  "Your Excellency saved my life and promised to keep my secret, I, Lei Feiyu, owe you a great favor. As long as I'm alive, if you need any help with anything, just come find me, and I'll do whatever I can to assist you." Brother Lei had fully recovered his usual demeanor on the mountain cliff, put away all the miscellaneous items that Han Li had searched out and placed on the ground, before coming in front of him and sincerely saying his name and making a promise.

  "I'm afraid I won't be troubling you much, but rather it's you who has a lot of trouble yourself?" Han Li smiled slightly and asked him back.

  "How did you know?" Lü Feiyu was taken aback, somewhat surprised.

  "It's something anyone can guess, you're just an ordinary disciple of the Guardian Sect, yet you've surpassed a large group of Hall Masters, Elders, and even the Master's own disciples. How could they let you have a good life!" Han Li pointed out incisively.

  Lifeng Yu's face turned gloomy and he didn't speak for a while.

  "I don't want to interfere with your business and I couldn't even if I wanted to. However, regarding the suffering caused by taking morphine, I can help alleviate it a bit."

  "Really?" Lü Feiyu's spirit was shocked, the gloom on his face disappeared, and a joyful expression filled his face. It seemed that the suffering of the Bone Marrow Pill had not been light for him.

  "Why would I deceive you?" Han Li gave Lie Fei Yu a cold glance. Of course, he had this kind of prescription to alleviate human suffering, which was specially researched by him during his free time for Zhang Tie. It could greatly reduce the body's perception of pain and was very effective.

  "This is great! Too good!" Lü Feiyu excitedly rubbed his hands together, staring eagerly at Han Li.

  "Why are you looking at me like that? I don't have this medicine right now. I need to go back to Shengong Valley to concoct it, only then will we have the finished product."

  Lü Feiyu felt a bit embarrassed. He had just threatened the other person with a knife, and now he was asking them to help him get medicine.

  "Tomorrow at noon, come to the entrance of Shen Shou Valley and wait for me. After I finish preparing the medicine, I will send it over to you. Since Dr. Mo is not home now, I don't want outsiders entering the valley casually." Han Li said slowly.

  "I'm on my way, I'll arrive on time, thanks brother." Lei Feiyu hastily replied, afraid that he would change his mind again.

  "My name is Han Li, I'm a direct disciple of Mo Daifu. You can just call me Young Master Han since your martial arts skills are so high."

  Han Li heard him say something as intimate as "brother", so he quickly told him his name, lest he come up with even more embarrassing titles.
