Two hours later, Chu Chen stopped.

"This is Hundred Herb Valley, my temporary residence." The lady in red said.

Chu Chen looked down and saw a small valley at the foot of the mountain. It was filled with all kinds of flowers and plants, and it was filled with a purple and alluring color.

In the middle of the sea of flowers, there were a few bamboo houses that were constructed in an extremely exquisite manner. They were paired together with an endless array of flowers, creating an incomparably dreamy scene.

"You live alone?" Chu Chen was surprised. This girl in red was not ordinary at all.

"Can't I live alone?" she asked.

"No, I mean, your parents, or relatives?" After Chu Chen finished asking his question, the red-clothed girl no longer spoke, and a trace of undetectable grief flashed through her eyes.

"I'm sorry!" Chu Chen said in embarrassment. Seems like she was someone with a story, the words just now touched upon the pain in her heart.

After returning to the bamboo house, the red-clothed girl did not pay any attention to Chu Chen. Instead, she took out a small purple wooden box and skillfully took out a lot of medicinal herbs, then mashed them and applied them to her wound.

"After two hours, my foot should be more or less injured. At that time, I'll think of a way to get rid of the blood poison in your body." With that, she began to clean up the room.

Ahem, what a strange girl." Chu Chen did not say anything, but sat cross-legged at the door, silently looking at the girl in red. His body, which was wrapped in red clothes, appeared a bit weak, or even a bit small, but when he raised his hand, it was very nimble. His hair was black, and it was even a bit painful to look at.

"You are an apothecary?" Chu Chen asked, realizing that she was extremely familiar with medicinal herbs and Devil Beast s.

"I guess so, but I can only make low level pill, so I'm still far from becoming a true alchemist." Her words were very gentle and calm, like a pool of blue water.

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.

"Alright, my leg is almost healed. To clear your blood poison, I need to consume some herbal concocted antidotes. However, I don't have any Nine Leaf Grass here, so I need to go to the Devil Cliff Town to buy some."

"Do you want me to go with you?" Chu Chen asked.

"If you're not afraid of trouble, then so be it." She calmly said. Before she left, she carried the small purple wooden box on her back and brushed her hair.

"What are you doing with it?" Chu Chen asked in confusion.

"This is my medicine chest. It contains all kinds of medicinal herbs and even some refined pill."

"You went to the Demon Flame Mountain Range alone to gather medicinal herbs?" Chu Chen finally understood.

"Yes." The red-clothed girl nodded her head. She did not say much, cherishing words like gold, but she had aroused Chu Chen's curiosity. She really was a strange, beautiful young lady.

"Oh yeah, you still haven't told me your name, I'm Chu Chen." Chu Chen said.

"Life is hurried, and countless people pass by. So what if you know my name?" Life is hurried, and countless people pass by. The red-clothed girl said indifferently.

"If you are willing to say it, I might not promise not to forget it for the rest of my life, because before I forget, there is no life left."

The red-clothed girl stopped and glanced at Chu Chen. "Yu Ziling." He retracted his eyes and continued to walk.

"That's right, there are many mercenary groups in Devil Cliff Town, all of them are rogue cultivator warriors. They rely on entering the mountain range and killing Devil Beast for a living. After we go there, it would be best for them to not get into conflict with others." Then, as if feeling that something was wrong, he continued, "Your cultivation is very high, and you can even kill a blood piercing beast. Although it won't be dangerous, it's better to keep a low profile." With that, she chuckled.

This smile was like a quietly blooming flower, beautiful to the point of being blasphemous, even Chu Chen was a little absent-minded. This was the first time she was smiling, yet it was so captivating.

"You look very nice when you smile, but why do you look so calm? It's even a little cold." Chu Chen retracted his gaze, wanting to dig out all the secrets on her.

"I like this. I like to be quiet. I like to be at peace with the world. Do you think that's not good?"

In terms of Profound Abyss Continent, it should be a rather difficult life for warriors. However, since he had chosen this path, Chu Chen felt that he could not give up everything, and lead a life free from worldly strife. Everyone had their own aspirations.

They walked and chatted as they walked, and very quickly, a small town appeared in their line of sight, situated in a large empty area. From afar, it looked like it was not very big, but they could vaguely see groups of people walking around the town, and these people, must be the mercenary group that Yu Ziling was talking about.

"Look, the red-clothed Fairy has come. We can finally be saved from our injuries." As Yu Ziling walked into the Devil Cliff Town, the group of burly men all walked forward to greet him as if they had seen their savior.

"Everyone, don't argue. I'll treat everyone at the same place later." Yu Ziling said calmly. Even though she was young, after she finished, the dozens of big sized men all went quiet, as if they were all very respectful to her.

Perhaps it was because he saw Chu Chen's doubt that Yu Ziling slowly said: "Every month, I will come to the small town regularly. I will use the medicinal herbs I have collected and the pill s that were simply refined to treat everyone, and then, I will reduce the amount of fees I need to collect so at this time of every month, everyone will steadily come to the small town to wait for me to see a doctor. However, in the past two months, I have already not come anymore."

Although she didn't understand why Yu Ziling hadn't come, Chu Chen knew that she was only here today because of him. She was going to buy the Nine Leaf Grass to refine the detoxification liquid to remove the Blood Thorn Poison.

After Yu Ziling spoke up, the group of burly men, even though they did not say anything, their gazes were focused on Chu Chen, mixed with various forms of curiosity. With Yu Ziling's beauty, who knows how many people wanted to forcibly marry her, but there was still a portion of the mercenaries who did so, and because they had accepted help, they protected Yu Ziling, so no matter what happened.

But no matter who it was, Yu Ziling's identity was very mysterious, and no one even knew his name, which was why he had the title of the red-clothed fairy. And now, a young man actually appeared by her side, causing people to think about him, and there were even some mercenaries who revealed deep resentment in their eyes. The red-clothed fairy was everyone's, it was the sacred girl in everyone's heart, and no one was allowed to approach her, much less occupy her.

Chu Chen could feel a dozen or so gazes filled with killing intent sweeping their gazes on him with malicious intent.

"Since Yu Ziling told me to keep a low profile, it seems that I had already anticipated this situation. However, this group of people better not do anything excessive or else don't blame me for being impolite." A cold light flashed across Chu Chen's eyes.
