Qiu Luoye and Xiao Qianshou fight in a bathhouse. Xiao Qianshou attacks Qiu Luoye's internal organs, but Qiu Luoye's healing allows him to trap Xiao Qianshou's hand and retaliate, damaging Xiao Qianshou's face. Other bathhouse patrons, Cui Tiq and Dou Jiyan, are revealed to be observing the fight. Li Banfeng also arrives, sensing Xiao Qianshou's presence.

Especially since there's a Disease Cultivator among them.

In the past, he had plenty of ways to deal with Disease Cultivators, but now the situation is a bit special.

Cui Tiq advised: "Senior, I think you should stop here. Your condition is really bad, and you're also injured. Continuing to fight is not wise."

Xiao Qianshou rubbed his cheek: "These minor injuries, what's the big deal?"

Cui Tiq shook his head and said: "The wounds on your face are quite severe, and your internal injuries are also very serious."

Xiao Qianshou looked at Cui Tiq: "Since when do you know how to diagnose injuries?"

Disease Cultivators don't treat injuries, insiders know this, but Cui Tiq was not wrong, Xiao Qianshou indeed had injuries. He was not only injured by Qiu Luoye, but also by Li Banfeng, and Gui Jianchou. The injuries had not healed.

Cui Tiq said: "Senior, you know too little about me. I ran a hospital for a long time, and I have a clear understanding of the differences between injuries and illnesses. You should take my advice and leave here."

"Take your advice? Who are you to say that?" Xiao Qianshou sneered, curled up, and slipped into the bathhouse's sewer, disappearing without a trace.

Qiu Luoye's perception wasn't strong, he didn't know what trick Xiao Qianshou was about to use.

"He escaped!" Cui Tiq sighed, "This person is so shameless, he clearly took my advice yet still insulted me."

After saying that, Cui Tiq picked up the liver of the bathhouse shopkeeper from the ground and handed it to Qiu Luoye: "Give this to the Medical Cultivator, maybe it can still save that bathhouse shopkeeper."

Li Banfeng entered the bathhouse, took the liver, and hurriedly handed it to the Medical Cultivator to have it put back in the shopkeeper.

Qiu Luoye looked at Cui Tiq and asked: "Foreigner, what's your background? Did Green Flower send you?"

Cui Tiq shook his head and said: "I'm a friend of Li Qi."

Next door, Dou Jiyan shouted: "So am I!"

Cui Tiq said: "I came to Qi Qiu City to discuss some matters with Li Qi."

Dou Jiyan shouted: "So am I!"

Cui Tiq paused for a moment, then said: "The matters I need to discuss with Li Qi are private, I don't want others to hear."

Dou Jiyan again said: "So am I!"

Cui Tiq got angry: "This is a bathhouse, I'm planning to bathe with Li Qi and discuss matters together!"

Dou Jiyan didn't say anything.

Qiu Luoye looked at Cui Tiq and said: "I know Dou Jiyan, but I don't know you, you say you're Old Qi's friend, how come I've never seen you?"

Splash!

Someone suddenly stood up in the water and said to Cui Tiq: "I've seen him, he practiced medicine at Zhengjing Village!"

Cui Tiq quickly saluted: "Senior Shui, long time no see, I love Zhengjing Village."

Shui Yongquan glanced at Cui Tiq's chest, didn't see a tattoo, and turned to Qiu Luoye: "Fake, this foreigner didn't speak truthfully just now."

Qiu Luoye was puzzled: "Old Shui, why did you come down from the mountain? How did you get into the hall? How come I didn't know anything?"

Shui Yongquan laughed and said: "I came to help you, we're good brothers, I'm much better than Zhu Chunhua!"

In a place like the bathhouse, Shui Yongquan indeed had the advantage, his memory was mostly restored, his fighting strength too, only his mind was not quite right.

Shui Yongquan looked at the sewer: "Just now, I could have caught Xiao Qianshou, but after thinking it over and over, I let him go."

Qiu Luoye sneered: "You coward, in the end, you were still scared."

"Why not be scared? How much cultivation level do I have left? What tier is Xiao Qianshou?"

Qiu Luoye snorted: "No matter what tier he is, didn't he still run for his life?"

Shui Yongquan shook his head and said: "He ran away, it's because he has no hands, he came here to find hands."

Qiu Luoye thought about it: "Why does he have to come here to find hands? Why deliberately come to this bathhouse to upset me?"

The Medical Repair Gang restored the shopkeeper's liver, Li Qi entered the hall, saw Shui Yongquan rubbing his temple, trying hard to search his memory: "Xiao Qianshou's hands are not easy to find, you can't just randomly use a hand to make do,

I heard that back then the Peddler chopped off all his hands, seeing you guys fight just now, he probably only has his original pair of hands left, I guess you have suitable hands here, attracted him over."

"I have suitable hands here?" Qiu Luoye couldn't think of anyone suitable.

Li Banfeng knew clearly, suitable hands, it was his own spotted gloves.

Xiao Qianshou can track the trail of the gloves, this must be guarded against.

He looked at Cui Tiq and said: "What do you want with me?"

Cui Tiq said: "Friend, I have something very important, I can only discuss it with you alone."

Dou Jiyan shouted from next door: "Big Brother Qiu, Big Brother Shui, let's go for a walk outside, once they're done discussing, I'll talk to Brother Seven."

The three left the bathhouse, Li Banfeng stood at the door of the hall, asked Cui Tiq: "What do you want with me?"

Cui Tiq went to the dressing room, put on clothes, took a top hat, and hung it on the coat hook in the dressing room.

The dressing room was soundproofed, those outside couldn't hear the sound inside,

Cui Tiq said: "Do you know someone named Du Wenming?"

"I do."

"He recently went to the Worry-Free Plain, ran into me by chance."

Li Banfeng was quite surprised: "What was he doing at the Worry-Free Plain?"

"I was curious too, he explained that he was hit by some special spell, uncontrollably flew to the Worry-Free Plain from far away, I think this might be related to the Traveling Cultivator's technique, so I thought of you."

"Did he mention me to you?"

Cui Tiq shook his head: "No, he didn't mention you, but he did mention something very important, which you might find interesting, he is researching the formula of the Taoist Sect's Medicinal Powder, which is very important to me."
