"Hmm?"
Observing that the danger had passed for those individuals, Lu Changsheng noticed their continued rush and worry, prompting him to send his Divine Sense sweeping over the merchant ship.
Even though the vessel was shielded by a formation barrier, it merely obstructed Nascent Soul Cultivators, proving utterly useless against Lu Changsheng’s formidable Taiyi Divine Soul.
In a flash, Lu Changsheng peered into the primary cabin of the merchant ship, where a group of female cultivators were tending to a woman with a refined forehead and slender eyebrows, her allure resembling that of the moon amid blooming flowers.
Clearly, this female cultivator had sustained grave injuries.
Her garments hung in shreds, scarcely covering her elegant form, with glimpses of her smooth, pale skin peeking through.
Yet, those areas of skin, much like her ashen face, were marred by faint traces of dark blood streaks.
A nearer look revealed these dark blood streaks creeping toward her meridians, dantian, and across her entire limbs, skeleton, and flesh.
"Is it her?"
Lu Changsheng immediately understood that the chance he had detected was linked to this woman.Besides, the Peach Blossom Gu stirred to life right then, suggesting that a Peach Blossom Fate could be forged with her through some dedication.
"Core Formation Middle Stage level, based on the physique and magical aura, she’s probably a Superior Grade Gold Core."
"No matter the group she belongs to, a Superior Grade Gold Core counts as elite talent, and this lady seems to hold a key position in Penglai Island. Saving her would greatly boost my favor with them."
Lu Changsheng assessed this badly hurt woman and concluded she could be a prominent member of Penglai Island’s Goddess Palace.
By aiding her recovery, he could avoid plenty of future hassles in Penglai Immortal City.
Additionally, building ties with the Third Palace Master of the Goddess Palace would be nearly impossible through ordinary channels.
Still, getting to know this woman first and asking for her introduction might offer substantial benefits.
"Screech!"
Right then, the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng dispatched the robber cultivators who had plunged into the ocean and surfaced from the depths to rejoin Lu Changsheng, startling the women on the deck.
They never imagined this man could not only repel the Star Pirates with a single phrase but also command a spirit pet mount powerful enough to chase down and repel that gang of Star Pirates.
One must remember, the Star Pirates’ leader had just shown Core Formation cultivation!
"If you want to save her, avoid using pills or mana to clear the poison; the toxins now ravaging her will consume both mana and pill effects. Only a Late Stage Core Formation Cultivator pouring out mana to detoxify could succeed, or else your efforts are just speeding up the poison’s advance."
Lu Changsheng advanced lightly, positioned atop the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, eyed the merchant ship coolly, and uttered calmly.
Following that, he directed the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng to depart.
Though he intended to help her, showing too much eagerness wouldn’t do.
That could lead them to doubt his true intentions from his overeagerness.
Thus, dropping a simple hint was enough.
After all, this spot was merely half a month’s sail from Penglai Immortal City, and barring surprises, this woman ought to last until Penglai Island and the Goddess Palace could intervene.
At that point, given Penglai Island’s power, they’d have no trouble tracking him down in the Immortal City to settle the debt if they chose to.
"What? The poison devours mana and medicinal power."
Aboard the merchant ship’s deck, the words struck the leading False Core female cultivator, twisting her expression in shock.
She was aware her senior sister bore heavy wounds and poison, so lately, she’d ordered the ship’s healer and various disciples to brew detox pills for her senior sister.
She hadn’t foreseen that their work was making things worse.
Her Divine Sense probed the main cabin, spotting her insensate senior sister.
She saw no betterment in her senior sister’s condition and the poisons on her face had intensified. Without delay, she dashed from the deck and called out to Lu Changsheng: "I beseech the senior to offer help! Our Goddess Palace will repay the kindness bountifully!"
"Aren’t you worried I’m an ill-intentioned person?"
The Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng under Lu Changsheng halted as he pivoted, curving his lips in a mild smile while replying.
"This..."
The False Core female cultivator froze briefly, then bowed politely: "Senior wields profound Divine Skills, and if harboring evil designs, we couldn’t possibly fend you off. Thus, I plead with Senior for assistance; our Goddess Palace will repay the debt handsomely later!"
Even as she said it, she had little choice remaining.
Moreover, gazing at Lu Changsheng’s poised and striking features, her instincts assured her he was a reliable figure, someone to depend on.
"Hehe."
Lu Changsheng gave a soft shake of his head, letting out a light chuckle, before stating: "Let’s go."
He moved along with the False Core female cultivator to the merchant ship, directing his gaze to the senseless woman in the main cabin.
Though gravely injured, her breathing faint and complexion as white as snow laced with dark blood lines, her loveliness persisted, genuinely luminous like the moon and breathtakingly gorgeous.
In particular, the sophisticated and ornate gown she donned was ripped in several spots, exposing hints of her poised, slender and porcelain-like figure, exuding an enticing charm.
Reflecting on past times, such captivating beauty might have faintly stirred Lu Ancestor’s emotions.
Yet presently, after enduring endless conflicts and trials, Lu Ancestor stayed composed, simply shifting the Yin Yang Magic Power to mimic the Cauldron Medical King’s Scripture approach.
Next, he raised his palm, unleashing a surge of Treasure Tripod Medicine King’s Qi to clash with the toxins tormenting the woman’s form.
Soon after, his fingers danced, dispatching threads of mana to block her meridians and dantian, as he declared: "I’ve momentarily halted the toxins within her, buying her enough stability for a while, plenty to get to Penglai Island."
Having spoken, he spun to depart.
Same as always.
Even in aiding, one mustn’t seem too keen or warm.
Lest doubts of secret aims surface readily.
"Thank you, Senior! This vast kindness, our Goddess Palace will engrave it eternally!"
The False Core female cultivator and her companions hurriedly cupped their hands, voicing their thanks to Lu Changsheng.
"Hehe, coincidentally, I’m heading to Penglai Immortal City this trip. Then, I may have to impose on your sect a bit."
Clad in flowing robes with an imposing stature, Lu Changsheng perched on the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, his words drifting over like an echo from distance.
Saving folks without cause invites easy suspicion of ulterior schemes, so it’s wiser to voice the purpose outright.
