“These vine flower demons in this forest are non-toxic. The one just now... should have been a mutated wisteria flower demon,” William Grant said.

“This is bad,” Benjamin Lee said. “The antidote pills we prepared are the Purging Pills for the miasma in the forest. This wisteria flower demon is quite rare, and we didn’t prepare any antidote for it... At this point, there’s only one way!”

“What is it?” Everyone looked at him.

They saw Benjamin Lee with a look of heroic sacrifice, resolutely saying, “Junior Sister Ziqing, seal your qi and blood to slow the spread of the poison. I’ll use my cultivation to suck the poison out for you!”

As he spoke, he bared his teeth and stretched his mouth, as if already warming up.

“Nonsense!” William Grant frowned and scolded, “Your cultivation is about the same as Junior Sister Ziqing’s. If you suck out the poison, what if you get poisoned yourself? Hmm... My cultivation is higher, I’ll do it.”

At this moment, the always silent Samuel Clark Jr. also spoke up: “Senior Brother Fang has great responsibilities and shouldn’t take risks. Junior Brother Lin’s cultivation is too low, don’t act rashly. Let me do it instead.”

With that, he licked his lips as well.

“Ah...” The young girl held her tender little foot, her voice already tinged with tears. Clearly, this was a situation she had never imagined.

As the three argued, Liam Carter interjected from the side, “Everyone, I...”

Benjamin Lee looked up at him. “What? You want a taste too?”

“No,” Liam Carter shook his head. “I just wanted to say, I brought a kind of antidote. Maybe it can cure the flower demon’s poison in Junior Sister Thompson.”

“What?” Emily Thompson immediately looked at Liam Carter as if grabbing a lifeline, her eyes shining. “Senior Brother Chu, you really have an antidote?”

“That’s right. Although it’s not specifically for flower demon poison, it should have some effect.” Liam Carter took out the Hundred Flowers Powder.

“It’s not a specialized antidote, so there’s still some risk,” Benjamin Lee seemed a bit reluctant, looking at Emily Thompson. “Junior Sister Ziqing, it’s up to you...”

“In this situation, there are only two choices: suck it out by mouth or take the medicine?”

“I’ll take the medicine!”

Emily Thompson said without hesitation.

Liam Carter handed over the Hundred Flowers Powder and said, “Half to be taken internally, half applied externally.”

“Okay, thank you so much, Senior Brother Chu.” Emily Thompson was moved to tears.

“Sigh.” Benjamin Lee sighed, looking guilty. “I can’t help at all, my conscience feels uneasy. Since I can’t help suck out the poison, how about I help you apply the medicine?”

This only earned him a big eye roll from Emily Thompson.

Following Liam Carter’s instructions, she divided the Hundred Flowers Powder in two, applied half to the wound, and swallowed the other half with water, then circulated her energy to adjust her breath.

Amazingly, in just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the blackness at the wound had completely faded! Even the wound, as big as a bowl’s mouth, was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Of course, part of this was due to the vigorous qi and blood of a cultivator, but the healing effect of the Hundred Flowers Powder was certainly a great help.

“Senior Brother Chu, your medicine is amazing!” Emily Thompson looked at Liam Carter in surprise.

“As long as it works,” Liam Carter just smiled lightly.

For cultivators, as long as there’s no demon poison, ordinary flesh wounds are no big deal. Emily Thompson applied some more ointment for external injuries and immediately stood up as if nothing had happened, lively and energetic.

She wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but after using the medicine from Liam Carter, she felt as if her body was emitting a fragrance, and the scent even changed. At first it was a faint jasmine, then a fragrant rose, and later... hmm... a strange smell she’d never encountered before, and it was quite strong.

Maybe it was some kind of floral scent too?

After recovering, she gracefully walked over to Liam Carter and said softly, “Senior Brother Chu, how should I thank you?”

“It’s nothing,” Liam Carter smiled. “You gave me a Qi Gathering Pill, I gave you the Hundred Flowers Powder. It’s just an exchange of favors.”

“But...” The girl tilted her head. “A Qi Gathering Pill and your Hundred Flowers Powder... how can they compare?”

Liam Carter waved his hand. “We’re fellow disciples and friends, no need to be so calculative.”

“We’re friends...” Emily Thompson was stunned for a moment, then suddenly showed a delighted smile. “Okay.”

At this moment, Benjamin Lee also asked from the side, “But, Brother Chu, weren’t you dragged over from the Sword Exchange Pavilion by us? You always carry antidotes with you?”

“Better safe than sorry,” Liam Carter replied casually.

Soon, William Grant called the team to set out again. Liam Carter immediately moved to the front, resuming his role as the pathfinder.

This time, as everyone watched his back, their gazes were much softer than before. Now, all the disciples of Jade Sword Peak felt... this disciple from Silver Sword Peak is reliable. If there’s a monster, he really fights; if there’s medicine, he really provides it.

Liam Carter is the real deal!

Chapter 012: The Proud Senior Brother Grant

“Sigh.”

Liam Carter let out a gentle sigh, sheathing his sword and standing still.

The latter half of the journey yielded little, with only two flower demons encountered. A smooth journey is naturally a good thing in others’ eyes, but for those aiming to hunt monsters, it’s inevitably a bit disappointing.

However, this faint disappointment was quickly dispelled by the scene before them.
