"Hmm?"
Noticeably, even though the danger facing these individuals had been averted, they continued to look rushed and worried, prompting Lu Changsheng to direct his Divine Sense toward the merchant vessel.
The formation prohibition surrounding the ship managed to obstruct only Nascent Soul Cultivators, making it utterly powerless against Lu Changsheng’s Taiyi Divine Soul.
Within moments, Lu Changsheng peered into the primary cabin of the merchant ship, spotting a group of female cultivators assisting a woman who featured a refined forehead and fine eyebrows, her allure resembling that of the moon amid blossoms.
Clearly, this female cultivator had sustained grave injuries.
Her attire was badly torn, scarcely covering her elegant figure, with glimpses of smooth white skin showing through.
Yet, those areas of skin, much like her ashen face, displayed faint traces of dark blood streaks.
A nearer look revealed that these dark blood streaks were extending into her meridians, dantian, and across her arms, legs, skeleton, and entire physique.
"Is it her?"
Lu Changsheng immediately understood that the chance he had detected was linked to this woman.
Additionally, the Peach Blossom Gu stirred to life right then, suggesting that by putting in some work, he could forge a Peach Blossom Fate with her.
"Core Formation Middle Stage cultivation, based on her physique and magical aura, she’s probably in possession of a Superior Grade Gold Core."
"No matter the group, a Superior Grade Gold Core places her among elite geniuses, and this lady is doubtless a key member of Penglai Island. Saving her would boost my favor with them immensely."
Lu Changsheng assessed this badly hurt woman and figured she could be a prominent personality from Penglai Island’s Goddess Palace.
Should he rescue her, it would save him considerable hassle when dealing with Penglai Immortal City later on.
Besides, if he aimed to link up with the Third Palace Master of the Goddess Palace, arranging a regular encounter with such a person would prove incredibly challenging.
Nevertheless, by getting to know this woman and gaining an introduction via her, he could gain substantial ease.
"Screech!"
Right then, the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng eliminated the robber cultivators who had escaped into the ocean and burst from the waves to rejoin Lu Changsheng, startling the women on the deck.
They never imagined this man could not only repel the Star Pirates with mere words but also command a spirit pet mount able to chase off and hunt down this group of Star Pirates.
One must remember, the Star Pirates’ leader had displayed Core Formation cultivation just before!
"If you wish to save her, refrain from using elixir medicines or mana to purge the poison; the toxins currently infecting her will erode both mana and medicinal power. Unless a Late Stage Core Formation Cultivator expends mana to help detoxify, otherwise, your current attempts will only exacerbate the spread of her toxins."
Lu Changsheng advanced gently, positioned atop the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, glanced toward the merchant ship, and uttered calmly.
Following that, he instructed the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng to depart.
Even though he wanted to help her, showing too much eagerness was unwise.
Else, they could doubt his intentions because of his overzealousness.
Thus, just giving a piece of advice was enough.
In the end, this spot lay only half a month’s travel from Penglai Immortal City, and barring any surprises, this woman ought to hold out until Penglai Island and the Goddess Palace could render aid.
At that point, given Penglai Island’s power, if they chose to return the favor, locating him in the Immortal City would be no trouble.
"What? The poison erodes mana and medicinal power."
Aboard the merchant ship’s deck, hearing this caused the chief False Core female cultivator’s expression to shift dramatically.
She was aware her senior sister bore heavy wounds and poison, so lately, she had ordered the ship’s healer and various disciples to help concoct elixir medicines for cleansing her senior sister’s toxins.
She hadn’t foreseen her efforts were making things worse.
Her Divine Sense probed the main cabin, where she saw her insensate senior sister.
She observed that her senior sister’s condition hadn’t bettered and the toxins on her face had intensified. Without delay, she dashed from the deck and called out to Lu Changsheng: "I beg the senior to offer assistance! Our Goddess Palace will definitely reward you generously!"
"Aren’t you worried I’m an ill-intentioned person?"
The Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng under Lu Changsheng halted as he pivoted, offering a slight smile in reply.
"This..."
The False Core female cultivator paused briefly, then bowed deeply: "Senior wields profound Divine Skills, and should you harbor evil designs, we couldn’t possibly withstand you. Therefore, I plead with Senior to help us, and our Goddess Palace will repay you handsomely later!"
While she said this, she truly had no other choice at present.
Moreover, seeing Lu Changsheng’s poised and attractive features, her instincts assured her he was a dependable fellow, someone to trust.
"Hehe."
Lu Changsheng gave a light shake of his head and soft chuckle, then declared: "Let’s go."
He accompanied the False Core female cultivator onto the merchant ship, directing his gaze at the insensate woman within the main cabin.
Though gravely injured, with shallow breaths and a pallid face like snow marked by dark blood streaks, her loveliness persisted, truly radiant as the moon and breathtakingly gorgeous.
In particular, the sophisticated and intricate gown she donned was ripped in several spots, revealing hints of her poised, slender and pale jade-like form, exuding an enticing charm.
Reflecting on earlier times, such captivating beauty might have stirred Lu Ancestor’s emotions a bit.
Yet nowadays, after enduring endless struggles and trials, Lu Ancestor stayed composed, simply converting the Yin Yang Magic Power into the form of the Cauldron Medical King’s Scripture.
Next, he raised his palm, unleashing a flow of Treasure Tripod Medicine King’s Qi to clash with the toxins tormenting the woman’s frame.
Soon after, his fingers danced, dispatching multiple threads of mana to block her meridians and dantian, as he stated: "I have temporarily stabilized the toxins in her body, for a short period she will be fine, sufficient time to reach Penglai Island."
Having spoken, he turned to depart.
As always.
Even in aiding, one must avoid seeming too keen or fond.
Lest suspicions of secret agendas surface readily.
"Thank you, Senior! Such immense grace, our Goddess Palace will surely remember forever!"
The False Core female cultivator along with the others hastily cupped their hands, voicing their thanks to Lu Changsheng.
"Hehe, as it happens, my journey is taking me to Penglai Immortal City this time. At that time, I might need to trouble your sect."
With flowing robes and an imposing stature, Lu Changsheng perched on the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, his words drifting over like echoes from a distance.
Saving others without cause invites easy doubts of ulterior purposes, so declaring the aim straightforwardly proves wiser.
