Chapter 1984: Chapter 1964: Mysterious Woman (Part 2)

Upon hearing that she only needed to be taken to the bus station, Chen Yang turned around and agreed.

"Alright, I’ll take you to the bus station."

If it were any other place, Chen Yang would not go.

Because he always felt that the woman in front of him wasn’t harmless. In fact, there was a somewhat dangerous aura about her.

But just to the bus station, that’s completely fine.

"Haha, truly a little brother who opens his eyes to gain." The woman smiled charmingly.

Chen Yang didn’t look much at her face.

Purely a siren, although he had good self-control, looking too much was of no benefit and could potentially affect him, so Chen Yang didn’t pay too much attention.

"Wait here, I’ll be right back."

After agreeing to the escort, Chen Yang didn’t waste time and returned directly to the clinic, bringing out his van.

Then he let the woman get into the car and took her to the county.

"Little brother, is that your home we just passed? Can you tell me your name? If elder sister has time in the future, I could come look for you to play, how about it?" Although the woman’s face was as pale as paper, her words were extremely enticing, attempting to engage Chen Yang in conversation.

However, Chen Yang remained guarded against her in his heart, naturally uninterested in these seemingly suggestive words.

"You’re thinking too much; we don’t know each other. I only took you because of the Spirit Stone!" Chen Yang replied calmly.

"You did it for the Spirit Stone, but I didn’t. Elder sister repays kindness. You saved my life; I can’t even know what you’re called?" the woman continued.

Chen Yang did not respond to these words, driving silently.

Half an hour later, the car reached the county bus station.

"We’ve arrived."

Chen Yang stopped the car and said indifferently.

Upon hearing the words, the woman looked outside the car, confirmed it was the county bus station, and took out her phone to make a call.

A few minutes later, several lean men rushed over to surround the car.

Among them, an older man in his forties or fifties saw the woman, feeling excited but unable to speak before the woman spoke first.

"We’ll talk about it later. This little brother saved my life. First, give me sixty Spirit Stones." The woman stated directly.

Upon hearing this, the man glanced at Chen Yang, then immediately pulled a pouch out of his pocket containing Spirit Stones.

Chen Yang noticed that the man’s pouch appeared similar to a brocade bag, capable of holding many things.

He also deduced from how these men treated the woman that her status was higher.

It was highly likely that they were subordinates or possibly hired personnel.

"Little brother, these are the Spirit Stones I promised you. Check whether the quantity is correct." The woman changed her expression to a smile, handing the Spirit Stones to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang didn’t hesitate, took the Spirit Stones, and began verifying.

He counted meticulously—sixty pieces, no issues at all.

"That’s correct."

The quantity was correct, so Chen Yang directly placed the bag of Spirit Stones into his own brocade bag.

The woman curled her lips into a smile, saying, "Little brother, now that elder sister is here, I have to get off. You truly don’t intend to tell me your name?"

"I delivered you to the place, and you paid with the Spirit Stones, which compensates my effort. We owe each other nothing." Chen Yang said coldly; he didn’t wish to entangle with the mysterious woman before him.

"Haha, you think we owe each other nothing, but elder sister doesn’t think so. However, if you don’t want to say, it’s fine. When we meet again, I will naturally know." The woman’s body was weak, and upon seeing her people, she didn’t want to say much more.

After leaving that statement, she voluntarily got out of the car.

Then, surrounded by those men, she left hurriedly.

It seemed that there was something important to handle, prompting her to leave in such haste.

"Strong cultivation on her own, plus so many experts around her, not a simple identity." Watching the direction of the woman’s departure, Chen Yang squinted slightly.

Afterward, he didn’t think much more, reversed the car, and left.

The distant woman, after leaving the bus station, immediately entered a secluded neighborhood under the protection of those men.

Upon arriving at the small villa’s entrance, the woman’s complexion turned even paler.

Her body was so weak that she could barely stand, almost tumbling on the villa steps.

"Sect Hierarch! You are too weak and must return to the headquarters."

One man supported the woman, speaking with a face full of concern.

However, the woman shook her head, "I haven’t found the item I need; returning to the headquarters won’t do much. It’s an old ailment, an unavoidable situation."

"But your bouts of backlash at random intervals are too dangerous."

The man said.

"Indeed, Hierarch, you should return to the headquarters. Leave the search to us. If we find it, we will deliver it immediately."

Others added.

Yet the woman persisted, "It’s okay. I know my body well; just help me rest."

The woman’s words carried absolute authority. The man, despite his worry and hope for the woman’s departure, dared not say more and carefully supported her into the villa.

...

Liuhe Village.

After escorting the woman, Chen Yang immediately returned to his clinic.

Originally, he planned to deliver the Spirit Stones to Chen Tianmin immediately, but he decided to return first to handle the herbs he’d been gathering.

Lately, he discovered a new recipe in the Medicine King Canon.

Using rare herbs to refine an Elixir with potent effects, urging him to try it eagerly.

An entire afternoon was spent at home making preparations.

Collecting herbs, organizing herbs.

Getting everything ready, he ate dinner, and night fell, planning to start refining the Elixir.

Yet, before he could begin, the sound of his phone ringing disrupted his plans.

The call was from Ma Jiantao.

He mentioned discovering traces of the Five Poisons Cult, wanting Chen Yang’s assistance.

After a brief contemplation, Chen Yang agreed.

The Five Poisons Cult is utterly evil. It’s beneficial for Liuhe Village to eliminate this tumor early.

It would allow the scenic area to open sooner.

Now, every day is spent inactive, resulting in significant losses.

"Alright, where are you now? I’ll come over immediately."

"Head over to the county hospital; we have personnel poisoned by the Five Poisons Cult and need your help."

Ma Jiantao said.

"Someone’s been poisoned?" Chen Yang was slightly surprised, then didn’t have time to ask further questions, hurriedly leaving home.

Speeding along the way, he arrived at the county hospital.

"Chen Yang, you’re here. Quickly examine what poison they’re suffering from; the doctors are at their wits’ end." Ma Jiantao, seeing Chen Yang, immediately pulled him into a hospital room.

The room contained three beds, each occupied by poisoned secret agents.

They lay there with painful expressions, gritting their teeth, enduring it.

A lot of medical personnel surrounded them, but no one dared to step forward for treatment.

"Alright, let me take a look."

Without saying much, Chen Yang immediately began examining the situation.

The three were indeed poisoned.

Though the methods varied, the reactions indicated it was the same poison.

"Today, the three encountered members of the Five Poisons Cult in the county. Afraid of losing them, they took some risks but didn’t anticipate the cult members striking so unpredictably, poisoning them before they could retaliate." Ma Jiantao narrated the situation from the side.

Chen Yang examined while listening.

"It seems the Five Poisons Cult didn’t intend to kill them."

From the current situation, though the poison inflicted great pain, it wasn’t lethal.

"You mean the poison isn’t deadly?"

Ma Jiantao immediately asked.

"Yes, the poison causes significant pain but isn’t fatal. If the cult truly intended to kill them, they wouldn’t have survived until now." Chen Yang nodded while taking out three Elixirs from his pocket, saying: "Give these three Elixirs to them to ingest; it will detoxify."

"Alright." Ma Jiantao promptly complied, administering an Elixir to each.

Shortly after ingestion, within minutes, the three quickly regained composure.

Clearly, the medication had taken effect, alleviating their suffering.

"Within a night, the toxins will be purged, and they’ll be fine tomorrow," Chen Yang stated.

"Alright."

Ma Jiantao nodded, relieved.

The doctors in the room, seeing there was no longer an issue, left one after another.
