"Friend, please wait."

Looking at Heng Cheng's gradually stabilizing condition, Rong Jingyun sighed in relief, her eyes filled with tenderness as she looked at her husband. She spoke softly, "Husband, how are you feeling?"

Heng Cheng responded in a sowhat halting manner, "I... I'm fine. Thank you, Jingyun."

Rong Jingyun smiled gently, "We are husband and wife; there is no need for thanks."

Heng Cheng lowered his head in guilt, "But I'm sorry for what I did outside..."

Rong Jingyun interrupted him, "We will discuss this later. For now, let's resolve the current issue."

She stood up and cupped her fists in gratitude towards Song Wen, "Thank you, friend, for allowing to treat my husband."

Song Wen replied with a peculiar laugh, "Hehe... I dare not accept your thanks. It was your husband whom I injured."

"You should not waste ti. Please fulfill your promise quickly."

"Understood!"

Rong Jingyun's thoughts moved, and two wooden boxes and a jade bottle appeared in front of her.

"Here are ten silver horn grasses and sixty Beast Refining Pills."

With a wave of her hand, the wooden boxes and jade bottle flew towards Song Wen.

Song Wen inspected the wooden boxes and jade bottle with his spiritual sense, confird their authenticity, and then stored them in his storage ring.

"This is not enough. Our agreent was for ten silver horn grasses and a hundred Beast Refining Pills in exchange for the child's whereabouts."

Rong Jingyun turned to look at Heng Cheng lying on the toad's back. He nodded and looked at his storage ring.

However, Heng Cheng was too weak to open his storage ring.

Rong Jingyun moved closer to Heng Cheng, infused her spiritual power into him to help him open the storage ring.

A wooden box and two jade bottles appeared on the ground.

Rong Jingyun used her spiritual power to push the wooden box and jade bottles towards Song Wen.

"Between us, this is all the silver horn grass and Beast Refining Pills we have."

Song Wen took the wooden box and jade bottles, scanned them with his spiritual sense, and found that the ten silver horn grasses were sufficient. However, there were only seventy Beast Refining Pills in the two jade bottles.

Song Wen was not greedy; eighty Beast Refining Pills were already enough for a long ti.

He put away the herbs and pills and said, "It's ti for you to make the soul oath."

As per Song Wen's request, Rong Jingyun and Heng Cheng each made a soul oath: if they revealed Song Wen's existence, their souls would be shattered, and they would never be able to transcend.

Song Wen nodded and turned to leave.

"Wait a mont."

Rong Jingyun suddenly spoke, stopping Song Wen.

"Friend, you have taken the benefits, and we have made the soul oath. But you have not told us where the child is."

Heng Cheng looked at his wife in surprise, not expecting her to ask about the child's whereabouts, which deepened his guilt.

Song Wen stopped and turned to Rong Jingyun.

"But the quantity of the pills you provided is insufficient. What you have given can only be considered as your husband's ransom. The child's whereabouts require a different price."

Rong Jingyun said, "We can offer spirit stones as compensation."

Song Wen shook his head, "I don't need spirit stones."

"Then what does the friend want? I am an elder in the Beastmaster Sect's alchemy room, and I have so resources. If you tell what you want, I will do my best to satisfy your request, as long as it is within my capability."

Song Wen stared at Rong Jingyun, his mind racing, and did not imdiately respond.

Making a grand demand for all of her assets would be unrealistic; he could only ask for what The urgently needed.

Heng Cheng gazed at his wife, feeling that he had wronged her far too much. He should not

have kept a concubine outside.

After a mont, Song Wen finally spoke.

"I want your alchemical insights. Is that possible?"

Rong Jingyun smiled faintly, "I didn't expect you to be a fellow practitioner. If you want my alchemical insights, you can have them."

As she spoke, Rong Jingyun threw a jade slip to Song Wen.

Song Wen took the jade slip and probed it with his spiritual sense. It recorded no less than a hundred alchemical formulas and insights.

He could not imdiately determine the accuracy of these formulas and insights but glanced over the blood dicine formulas and insights. At first glance, he found no apparent issues.

Satisfied, Song Wen stored the jade slip. Its value outside would be at least a hundred thousand spirit stones.

At this mont, he couldn't help but admire this woman. To casually give away such a valuable jade slip was impressive.

For the sake of saving her husband and the child of the concubine, Rong Jingyun could be so generous. It was truly worthy of respect.

However, for Rong Jingyun, giving out this jade slip did not incur much loss.

If there was any loss, it would be to the Beastmaster Sect, as half of the formulas in the jade

slip were unique to them.

After putting away the jade slip, Song Wen kept his word and revealed the location of Jingyu

and Xu Zheng.

Heng Cheng beca agitated upon hearing this, shouting, "This is impossible; you must be

making it up."

Song Wen mocked with a smile, "I have no grudge against you, so why would I lie?"

"If you don't believe , go to the cliff located one hundred and thirty miles west of the Huafang Market. There is a cave at the bottom of the cliff, and the child is in that cave."

"Xu Zheng only has the cultivation of Qi Refining Third Level and cannot use flight techniques. The child was personally bound and thrown into the cave by his mother."

"That poor child has not had a drop of water for two days. If you don't hurry, he might die of starvation in the cave."

After speaking, Song Wen ignored their reactions and vanished into the darkness, leaving no

trace.

After confirming with his spiritual sense that Song Wen had truly left, Rong Jingyun let out a

sigh of relief.

She waved her right hand, and a small flying ship, about seven to eight ters long, appeared

in mid-air.

"Let's go. We need to save that child."

Rong Jingyun used her spiritual power to lift Heng Cheng onto the flying ship, and they

ascended into the air.

Heng Cheng took so healing pills and sat cross-legged, while Rong Jingyun, standing behind him, used her spiritual power to assist in refining the dicine.

"Jingyun, I am sorry for what I did. I shouldn't have kept a concubine," Heng Cheng said,

filled with guilt.

Rong Jingyun replied, "Husband, let the past be the past. We should support and rely on each other in the future, and cherish each other."

"On this long path of cultivation, it is only between us that we can truly open our hearts. If we

are to doubt and deceive each other, this path of cultivation will be too lonely. If that's the case, immortality is not worth pursuing."

Heng Cheng nodded heavily and said, "Jingyun, after this, I will be devoted to you, and we

will stay together."

"But what about the child? The child is innocent."

Rong Jingyun was silent for a long ti before finally sighing deeply.

"Let's bring the child back to the sect. I will treat him as my own. He is still young and doesn't

understand the situation. When he grows up, he will probably forget this incident and see

as his real mother."
