The Other Side of A Cultivation Story

"Bring the heavily injured back to the base," one of the elders of the Han Valley yelled.

Prior to the start of the event, Shu Wu had informed the Han Valley chief and elders that his wife Shu Ling had Water elemental affinity and was willing to give emergency treatment for the heavily injured.

Ordinarily, minor cuts and wounds can be fully healed by medicinal pills—thus, there was no need to instruct the slightly wounded to.

Although Shu Ling was only at half-step sage realm, she however followed the healing path so she could at least apply profound healing which was enough to help heavy wounds get initial treatment.

Yu Yue, on the other hand, who also awakened Water element, was only at the peak of Sky stage Expert realm and only had 'Basic Healing' so she could not be of any help to the injured.

"And send them to the Shu family shop," the elder instructed. "They can give them emergency healing."

With such announcement, many team leaders were relieved that they're injured team members can survive the battle—and instantly had the confidence to go all out in the fight with a healer on their side.

Water element was not a rare element but not too many chose the support path of cultivation, so at a time like this extermination event, having a healer on the team was already a luxury.

Several minutes after the announcement, the Shu family shop at the base was slowly looking like an infirmary.

The advantage for the Shu family though was that those cultivators who brought their injured comrades had the opportunity to buy medicinal pills from the family's shop as it was wise for them to replenish their supplies.

"Dear husband..," Shu Ling called, "I think we're gonna need additional tent for these cultivators to rest."

"Right," Shu Wei answered. "I'll tell the elders to help us provide one or ask them to at least give us instruction where send these guys for a rest."

"Ah."

The couple was softly conversing when one of the cultivators who brought an injured interrupted.

"There was no need for the masters of the Shu family to worry about such thing," the cultivator said. "It was already too much that we receive such kindness from you.. allow us to worry about where to find a place to rest for our comrades."

Shu Wei paused a little before he took a soft sigh.

"Alright," he said, "..please help your friend to rest.. he needs to recover some more.. my wife's healing may not be enough to immediately send them back to battle.."

The cultivator nodded and said his thanks before he and his comrade who received emergency treatment left.

Meanwhile at the battle, Qai was relentlessly shooting his arrows with the help of his 'Hawkeye' skill as he stunned the bandits randomly.

'Swoooosh,' 'swoooosh,' 'swoooosh,' 'swoooosh,' 'swoooosh.'

'Baam,' 'baam,' 'baam,' 'baaam,' baaam.'

Jing and Shnadian on the other hand took Qai's attack as a cue and effortlessly pick the spot where there were petrified bandits to activate 'Poison Haze' in the bandits' midst and swiftly left the spot.

The poisonous mist created from the skill, which blurred the targets' vision helped Jing and Shandian escape the area—the two then immediately transferred to another spot and did the same where there were petrified bandits. The coordinated series of attacks consequently created much confusion.

Although the area of effect of Jing's skill was not really large, it was however enough for the targeted bandits to be occasionally affected as there were few of them who attacked their fellow bandits.

"What's going on!?" A bandit yelled.

The bandits, especially the low leveled ones who were vulnerable to the effect of 'Poison Haze' did not know what struck them.

"It's the mist!" Another bandit surmised loudly.

"Get away from the mist."

The bandit boss from afar noticed at once the commotion among the bandits and directed one of his underlings to check what it was.

"Go find out what's happening there," he said.

The bandit boss could clearly see the mist but he was unsure where it came from as there was no way he could monitor the entire battle field while he himself was continuously creating rockslide.

'Swoooosh,' 'swoooosh,' 'swoooosh,' 'swoooosh,' 'swoooosh.'

'Baam,' 'baam,' 'baam,' 'baaam,' baaam.'

Qai was overjoyed with the turn of events and hit some more arrows as if he was merely practicing.

'Shandian,' Qai mentally communicated, 'it's that you head back to Han Valley's side.'

After such instruction, Qai released more arrows but this time to petrify the bandits who were on Jing and Shandian's way and to help the two get away easily.

'Follow my attacks.'

'Groowl.'

'Swoooosh,' 'swoooosh,' 'swoooosh,' 'swoooosh,' 'swoooosh.'

'Baam,' 'baam,' 'baam,' 'baaam,' baaam.'

Seeing where the stunned enemy bandits were, Shandian immediately brought Jing to the area who unleashed his 'Poison Haze' along the way.
