BIRTH OF DRAGON WARRIORS
17 - Return to Wushi Mountain Sect

Xia Ling Qing said that he had come to Bai Nang Village to carry out a mission and accidentally met Wei Zhang Zihan and Chu Kai, in fact the girl was still waiting for the two young men to recover, especially Chu Kai.

Wei Zhang Zihan himself knew how the character of Xia Ling Qing was. But not with Chu Kai. That was why, the young man was so astonished that Xia Ling Qing remained in the inn with them.

On the day that Chu Kai had completely recovered and his body was no longer in pain, he returned to the Wushi Mountain Sect with Wei Zhang Zihan and Xia Ling Qing.

On the way, Chu Kai was beside Wei Zhang Zihan while staring at Xia Ling Qing's back which was walking far in front of him. He half whispered, "Expert Wei. Do you know what kind of mission Miss Xia was on in the village earlier? I think after the incident back then, Miss Xia looked quite leisurely. He rarely even leaves the inn."

Chu Kai breathed slowly and whispered more and more as he said, "Miss Xia is also always beside the healer when it is time for me to take medicine. I was even afraid of leaving behind one drop of that bitter liquid because Miss Xia continued to be there and watch over me."

"The problem.." Chu Kai held his breath, "Miss Xia's eyes seemed to want to finish me off. Really, I'm not lying."

Wei Zhang Zihan without turning his head explained, his voice softly as he said. "Hunting evil spirits is actually the mission of disciples who are at the Worldly Cultivation Level, at least they have already reached the [grandfather] level. This mission is not a task carried out by those who are holy warriors. So it was clear Xia Ling Qing's goal was to come here,"

"Destination?" Chu Kai was astonished.

"You,"

?!

"Me?" Chu Kai blinked. He grimaced as he got a jerk in the forehead by Wei Zhang Zihan.

Without a tone, Wei Zhang Zihan said. "Miss Xia is watching you. She was indeed spicy-mouthed and rude, but she was actually a good girl. If you've known him for a long time, you'll know what he's like."

"Ah.. Just like you," Chu Kai smiled. "You look like a cold and authoritative young man, but you're actually very rude and fond of poking around! Hey..!"

"Stupid,"

"W-what did you say?!" Chu Kai was startled as Wei Zhang Zihan greeted him and immediately walked away just like that. He rubbed his head and then caught up with the young man while grumbling.

"Executor Wei, take that word back. I saved your life, you know! Ouch... Sh. Swordsman Wei..!"

While in his room, Chu Kai stood in front of the mirror with his bare upper body. He tried to see the wound on his back that turned out to be impaled.

If you look carefully, Chu Kai's body has scars in several parts. There were even three scratches on his lower back that turned out to be connected to a scratch on his left arm.

The wound had been for many years and the depth of the scratch was not made by an ordinary savage beast. It felt like Chu Kai had experienced an incident with the most ferocious animal ever or something.

Shaking his head slowly, Chu Kai again put on his clothes. It's just that if you look carefully, there is a white silhouette carved by a dragon on the right waist to slightly to the stomach of Chu Kai. Either this young man knew it or not, but the silhouette only occasionally appeared when exposed to the sunlight.

!!

The sound of knocking on the door made Chu Kai flinch. He rushed to open it and a disciple of the Wushi Mountain Sect stood before him.

"..............." Chu Kai did not know what the name of this 16-year-old man was. He said, "What do you want?"

"Sourcefully, every student was given by the college every month." the voice of the teenager was calm, he raised the cloth bag in his hand that was spontaneously received by Chu Kai.

!!

Chu Kai gasped because the cloth bag that fit in this hug turned out to be quite heavy. "What do you mean by this?"

"I told you it's a resource, it's an herbal plant. There are red ginseng roots as well. You boil it in warm water, some of it you drink and some of it you mix into your bath."

".................."

Realizing the man before him was just staring made the teenager's forehead twitch. "You still don't understand? Haaaah..."

The teenager exhaled and explained, "Murid who is still a beginner and does not know how to use natural energy for his strength, is given herbs in exchange for spirit stone. Herbal plants are good for strengthening your body, making blood circulation smoothly and cleaning toxins in the body. Use it once every three days and drink the concoction twice a day. It is stock for a month, so use it wisely. Already, I still have a lot of stuff to bring."

!!

Chu Kai had yet to respond and the disciple had already left. He rubbed his neck and closed the door again.

Inside his room, Chu Kai looked puzzled. "Plant herbs, but I'm not sick. What is spirit stone? It's weird..."

Chu Kai began to open the cloth parcels given to him. He put every item he took in a pack into the table and was flabbergasted by every plant he knew what it was called.

"God... What exactly do they want to do to me?"

"Buddies,"

!!!

Chu Kai was startled and spontaneously shouted as he moved away from the window. His heart was pounding very strongly when he heard the sudden sound. His own response also surprised the person who was outside the window.

"Geez, man. I'm just greeting you" the 23-year-old man wore light blue clothes and appeared to be rubbing his chest.

Chu Kai was already able to calm down and finally walked over. He noticed this figure that had already shocked him.

"You who?" Chu Kai opened his voice.

"Oh. My name is Shou, from the Qin family. I am your next-door neighbor," Qin Shou smiled and jumped into Chu Kai's room.

"Brother, if you have any questions about anything.. Don't ever hesitate to ask me."

"................." Chu Kai noticed Qin Shou who seemed to be holding onto his herbs. The young man even sat on the chair just like that and acted as if this was his own room.

Chu Kai approached and then asked, "So what do you want here?"

Qin Shou looked over. He smiled and said, "Sit down first. No need to be embarrassed,"

"Well.." Chu Kai bitterly laughed.

"Buddy. Since you're new here, then I'll just go right ahead." Qin Shou said, "The Resources in this sect are the most important for any swordsman to improve their practice. In one year, you are only given four times the resources and the amount will be further reduced each time. Don't believe if he says resources are shared every month, that's not true."

"................."

"What I'm trying to say is.. You can't rely on the resources the sect provides to improve your practice. You have to go find your own resources,"

"Oh," Chu Kai did not understand, but he still nodded. He smiled and said, "I will remember your advice. Thank you,"

"Together brothers need not say 'thank you'," Qin Shou stood up and then said, "You should boil herbs that are young leaves and do not forget to drink his ginseng. That's good for men's health,"

Chu Kai saw Qin Shou darting out the window. He blinked as the man came and entered his room as he pleased. What a strange person.

"Oh, yes. Kai..!"

!?

Chu Kai flinched as Qin Shou returned again. It was just that the man remained at the window and took out a pouch that was just the size of a hold.

Qin Shou said, "Herbal plants sometimes have a strong smell when boiled. You have to mix these flowers to reduce the smell. I'm leaving, yeah."

"Mn, okay." Chu Kai watched as Qin Shou was no longer seen. He walked towards the window and exhaled because the man was completely gone. He took the pouch given by Qin Shou and looked at the contents.

"................." Chu Kai took out a rock flower from the pouch and the distinctive scent of this flower was indeed admirable.

"It's a big flower" Chu Kai smiled. Cadas flowers are white with purple ends. This flower grows attached to the stone with thin, yet thorny leaves.

The location of this plant is on the top of the mountain and most often on the edge of steep cliffs. Because of the difficulty of the terrain to find this flower, it becomes very expensive for one that has not bloomed perfectly. And in Chu Kai's hands was now the largest rock flower with a perfect blooming shape.

Chu Kai initially suspected that Qin Shou had bad intentions on him, especially when he remembered that quite a number of the disciples of this sect did not like him. But after receiving this flower, he came to know that the young man indeed had sincere intentions to befriend him.

Chu Kai closed his bedroom window and began to boil herbs and flowers given by his new friend. He was impressed at this room because it was quite spacious and even had his own kitchen. This place has complete cooking equipment.

Elsewhere, Qin Shou is seen walking while greeting his fellow students. He was unceasingly smiling and in fact this fellow was indeed friendly in the eyes of the disciples of the Wushi Mountain Sect.

!

Qin Shou suddenly stopped walking when he remembered something. His facial expression became solemn as he turned around, "He was... You know a lot about flowers, right? I didn't have time to tell you that there are some herbs that would be poisonous if boiled with the flowers."

Qin Shou is careless. He was about to go back to Chu Kai's room when his steps came to a halt. He took a breath and thought for a moment, "What am I doing. He was the chosen Dragon Swordsman, so must have known a lot about herbs already. After all, if he dies, he won't deserve to be a Dragon Warrior."

Qin Shou smiled and walked back. He greeted the Mountain Wushi Sect disciples he met on the road. His actions and attitude were as if that he did not care about his mistakes that might harm others.
