"This is it!"

By the Lake Yunshui, in a scarcely travelled patch of grass, Jiang Banchu carefully brushes away some weeds, looking at a medicinal plant hidden in the middle. The plant has yellowed leaves and jagged edges, which brings a satisfied smile to his face.

He gently pulls the herb out by the roots and tucks it into his medicine pouch. Finally, all eleven ingredients for "Itchy powder" had been gathered.

"Those liars, just wait and see!" Jiang Banchu grinned.

He was about to leave when he noticed a figure by the lake.

"What is that person doing?" Jiang Banchu looked over in surprise.

It was a girl dressed in a white shirt and jeans, standing alone by the lake. The wind was blowing her long, let-down hair, looking like a picturesque oil painting.

Being a man who appreciates beauty, Jiang Banchu couldn't help but stare a little longer.

Suddenly, his mouth fell open.

The girl, who was standing perfectly fine by the lake, for some reason started walking into the lake. First her feet, then her legs, and soon half her body was submerged. Yet, without showing any fear, she kept moving forward.

"Oh no!" Startled, Jiang Banchu sprinted forward like an arrow.

By the time he reached the shoreline, only the girl's head was visible above water.

"Miss, if it's something you can't deal with, don't make hasty decisions! Listen to me!" Jiang Banchu shouted.

But the girl never intended to stop. She took another step forward and disappeared completely.

"Damn it!" Jiang Banchu cursed, quickly stripping off his clothes and shoes, and with a "splash" dived into the lake.

Jiang Banxia is a good swimmer and quickly swam to the spot where the girl had disappeared.

Inhaling deeply, he plunged into the lake, opening his eyes underwater only to see the girl rapidly sinking.

His legs kicking repeatedly, Jiang Banxia descended swiftly and grabbed the girl’s shoulder.

But the girl was determined to end her life. She twisted and struggled against Jiang Banxia’s attempt to save her.

This irritated Jiang Banxia. With one sudden pull, he brought the girl into his arms, one hand clasping the front of her chest from the back, while the other hand supported her. He tightly controlled her attempts to free herself and finally started to float upwards.

The girl was already choked and confused due to the water. Suddenly, her body was tightly gripped by an unknown man, and she became paralyzed, her body tingling as if she'd been electrocuted. Remarkably enough, she ceased to struggle.

With a "splash" sound, Jiang Banxia, still holding onto the girl, emerged from the water and used all his strength to swim towards the bank.

As he swam, he appraised the girl in his arms.

Her white blouse was soaked through by the lake water, sticking to her skin, revealing her pleasing body without any reservation. Even the luminous sheen on her soft, pale skin was distinctly visible.

During the swim, their bodies inevitably came into contact, evoking Jiang Banxia’s senses.

"Why would such a beautiful girl consider suicide??" Jiang Banxia was rather perplexed.

He had just been dumped by his ex-girlfriend Jin Jinyun and had been feeling a sense of loneliness, his heart empty. Holding a woman in his arms, he couldn’t help but let his thoughts wander.

But after all, he was not the kind of guy who would take advantage of someone's peril. The thought crossed his mind in a flash, and he immediately reined in his indecent thoughts, kicking his legs to paddle forward until they safely reached the shore.

The girl collapsed weakly on the shore. She suddenly opened her small cherry mouth, spat out a few mouthfuls of water, and started to shiver.

Jiang Banxia hurriedly grabbed his own clothes, wanting to put them over the girl. He hesitated, then said, "Miss, you need to get out of those wet clothes quickly; otherwise, you might get sick."

The girl had a pair of beautiful long eyelashes that fluttered slightly, but she didn't respond.

Jiang Banxia felt that it was inappropriate for a man to remove a woman's clothes, so he decided to put his clothes on her first.

Once he caught his breath, he took a good look at the girl and noticed how startlingly pale her skin was. Her face was bare, yet her features were as finely crafted as if she was a person drawn from a painting.

"So beautiful!" Jiang Banxia was entranced.

Suddenly, a voice echoed in his ears.

"I've been wandering in this place for so long, and finally, I see a decent young man. Alright, you can inherit this legacy."

"Who's there?" Jiang Banxia looked around, startled.

Suddenly, his vision went black, and a flood of memories rushed into his mind!

In the world of cultivation, there was a "Poison Hand Medicine King" who pioneered a generation of elixir cultivation techniques.

You've mastered the art of the flying sword? I'll refine a sword-pill that can explode a hundred flying swords with a snap of my fingers!

You've cultivated the Nine Suns Divine Skill? I'll swallow a Sun God Elixir allowing me to unleash a fierce blaze that can incinerate everything.

You've tamed a divine beast? I have a Beast Language Pill that can allow conversation and friendship with divine beasts, making them go east when they wouldn't go west.

As for immunity to extreme temperatures, imperviousness to weapons, eternal youth, command over the seas… there isn't a problem that can't be resolved with an elixir. If there is one, then just use two!

The elixirs of Medicine King Valley had swept the cultivation world. Men would brave dangers, even walk through fire and water, for an elixir from the Medicine King Valley, women could set aside their modesty for one. To acquire an elixir, countless people in the world of cultivation were willing to pay any price!

Poison Hand Medical King was once a formidable figure, yet he trained a sinful disciple.

This sinful disciple mastered all the skills of Poison Hand Medical King, even surpassing him. However, he had a malicious nature.

Upon hearing that the Poison Hand Medical King planned to pass on his legacy to another disciple, the sinful disciple flew into a jealous rage, even colluding with enemies to attack the Valley of the Medical King!

Thousands of cultivators swarmed into the Valley of the Medical King, destroying the fields of medicinal herbs, shattering the furnaces, and robbing them of their elixir pills.

Outnumbered, Poison Hand Medical King was shattered, leaving only a wisp of his soul crossing time and space to land on Earth.

This remnant soul has been waiting for a person of good character and destiny to pass on his legacy, return to the world of cultivation, purge the sinful disciple, kill his enemies, and avenge his grievances!

Until now, when Jiang Banxia saved a young girl, was rewarded for his good deeds, and was regarded by the Poison Hand Medical King.

"Inherit my legacy, bear my karma!" Poison Hand Medical King's mournful voice rang out.

“Inherit my legacy, bear my karma!”

“Inherit my legacy, bear my karma!”

After repeating the important matter three times, the memories of the Poison Hand Medical King faded like a receding tide, and Jiang Banxia returned to reality.

He shuddered all over, a little unwilling to believe the authenticity of the memories in his mind.

But when he had a flitting thought, all sorts of pill refining methods, cultivation techniques, and inherited treasures appeared in his mind, he couldn’t help but believe it!

“I just saved a person, yet the blessings are so immense!” Jiang Banxia was both shocked and ecstatic.

Just then, a crisp yet icy voice rang out.

"Why did you save me?"

Jiang Banxia turned her head, and the girl had somehow sat up. Her beautiful eyes were steadfastly staring at her, and her fair, attractive face was full of anger.

"Why did you save me?"

"Couldn't you have just let me die?"

"Butt out!"

Jiang Banxia frowned and walked over. With a "slap," she gave her a resounding slap on her face!
