Quick Transmigration: Don't Let an Honest Man Become a Villainous Supporting Female Character

Chapter 290 If You're Going to Cultivate, Cultivate the Path of Ruthlessness 17

"Senior Brother, I heard that the Sect Master used the Ice Marrow Pill when he broke through to the Mahayana stage. If any of us urgently need the Ice Marrow Pill, should we prioritize the sect or the person who urgently needs it?"

The man with the triangular eyes moved closer to the fire, joking around.

As soon as he said this, the air suddenly became quiet, and the other disciples' gazes lingered on Wen Shubai.

The Ice Marrow Pill was ostensibly for the sect's formation, but in reality, they all knew that it was very likely to be given to the disciple who performed best in this trial.

Otherwise, the elders in the sect wouldn't have specifically sent Wen Shubai out to find the elixir.

Wen Shubai adjusted his gaze and said gently, "With the sect's great responsibilities ahead, junior brother's assumptions are meaningless."

Between a sect and fellow disciples, he would only choose the sect.

Ji Chaoxi was rummaging through the bag for magical artifacts. She remembered that she had brought two with her. It took her a long time to finally find them.

The man with the triangular eyes was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "As expected of the senior brother. If I were the senior brother, I might have divided up these Ice Marrow Pills. After all, they are meant for the disciples who are going through this training."

Even a broken piece of an Ice Marrow Pill is an incredible stroke of luck.

The expressions on the other disciples' faces were somewhat subtle.

To be honest, their team had stayed in the Tianjue Sect the longest and had the highest cultivation level.

If the Ice Marrow Pill is truly meant to be given to the disciple who performed best during this trial, then it can only be given to one of them.

Wen Shubai lowered his eyes, and suddenly, he felt something warm being placed in his palm.

"Senior Brother, this is so warm. I bought it on the black market too," Ji Chaoxi whispered, her eyes full of pride.

Although she has no spiritual power, she has a lot of magical artifacts.

Wen Shubai chuckled softly, "Thank you, Junior Sister."

Ji Chaoxi had no interest in the Ice Marrow Pill at all; it wasn't her turn to eat it anyway.

While the other disciples were resting with their eyes closed, Ji Chaoxi was practicing her manipulation technique. Her face was flushed from the firelight as she stared at a palm-sized piece of ice on the ground, her forehead breaking out in a cold sweat. But the piece of ice only moved symbolically.

"Junior Sister, focus your energy in your dantian, don't use brute force to move it," Wen Shubai said softly.

He leaned forward slightly, and Ji Chaoxi's back bumped into his chest. Wen Shubai's hand gently covered her hand, which was stiff from the force, and guided her through several curves.

"Can you feel the spiritual energy within the ice?"

As Ji Chaoxi listened to Wen Shubai's words, she carefully sensed the ice. Finally, the ice trembled and floated up. With a gentle flick of her wrist, the ice fragment appeared in an arc in the air.

Ji Chaoxi turned around excitedly, almost bumping into his cheek.

Everyone else was asleep. She was incredibly excited, but still managed to whisper, "Senior Brother, I did it!"

Looking into her bright eyes and mimicking her speech, Wen Shubai whispered, "Junior Sister is indeed talented."

The surrounding ice blocks were stealing heat from the fire, so Wen Shubai made the fire burn even brighter.

Ji Chaoxi fell asleep. She had been sitting properly to one side, but as the night deepened, she drowsily moved toward the heat source next to her.

Wen Shubai, who was resting with his eyes closed, noticed Ji Chaoxi approaching. He opened his eyes and gently pulled her closer to him. She was not sleeping soundly, and her fingers were trembling slightly because of the cold.

Wen Shubai placed his palm on her back, and his spiritual energy transformed into a warm current that slowly flowed into her body.

The next morning, the sun shone on the glaciers of the far north ice field, but it did not bring any warmth, and several disciples looked even paler.

The group set off through the snow. Having not slept well all night, the other disciples all wore expressions of frustration.

Wen Shubai walked at the front, his compass spinning wildly, pointing towards the forest ahead.

"It's just ahead," Wen Shubai said softly.

The disciples behind them looked better; they had finally found the approximate location. If they had stayed a few more days, their bodies would have become extremely weak.

Just then, the ground suddenly trembled violently, and several blood-red monsters burst out of the ice and attacked them directly.

The fellow disciples didn't show any fear on their faces, which startled Ji Chaoxi.

Wen Shubai protected the compass. He frowned, drew his sword, and a moon-white sword aura pierced through the bodies of the demonic beasts. The beasts didn't even have time to scream before being cleaved in two by the sword aura.

At this moment, Ji Chaoxi stood aside, testing his magical artifact.

She bought so many magical artifacts, and they were so expensive; she wanted to try them one by one.

Wen Shubai glanced at her and left her a demon beast. Ji Chaoxi quickly grabbed her magic weapon and attacked the demon beast.

With so many magical artifacts, she had almost forgotten what each one was for, so she just threw them at the monster!

Anyway, the butcher's daughter has plenty of money.

The monster was blown apart, and blood splattered all over the ground.

"Senior Brother, I'm amazing, aren't I?" Ji Chaoxi said with a hint of pride.

Wen Shubai smiled but didn't say anything.

When they encountered monsters later, Wen Shubai handled them all, while the other disciples stood by without moving. Ji Chaoxi even used her magic weapon to kill several of them.

The more she looked, the more uneasy she felt, and she began to observe the disciples behind her.

They discovered that they were just hiding behind Wen Shubai, showing no intention of making a move.

Wen Shubai was observing the direction of the compass when he suddenly felt his sleeve being tugged. He looked at Ji Chaoxi, who was looking at him with a serious expression, and lowered his head.

Ji Chaoxi whispered in his ear, "Senior Brother, don't be so foolish as to take action every time. They won't help you."

Seeing her huffing and puffing, Wen Shubai gently patted her head and said with a smile, "I know, Junior Sister."

Ji Chaoxi sighed. Judging from her senior brother's expression, she knew he definitely hadn't taken her words to heart.

No wonder the Second Elder said in his letter that the Eldest Brother was a kind-hearted person who didn't care even when he was used as cannon fodder.

The group continued walking forward, and the further they went, the more difficult it became for them to breathe. Strange noises often emanated from them, and their expressions grew serious.

Just then, a spiderweb-like crack suddenly exploded beneath the group's feet.

"ah--"

One of the disciples screamed and plunged straight into the ice crevice, a heart-wrenching scream echoing from the depths of the fissure.

The man with the triangular eyes didn't stop walking. He frowned impatiently and said, "How come he was the one who fell?"

No one else fell.

He couldn't help but speak up: "The Ice Marrow Pill is about to mature, Senior Brother, let's hurry, this concerns the sect!"

Seeing that Wen Shubai was about to go down to rescue people, the man with the triangular eyes became even more impatient. He suppressed his impatience and said, "Senior Brother, we don't know how deep the ice crevice is. Going down now would be a complete waste of spiritual energy."

The other disciples hesitated for a moment before speaking up, "Senior Brother, it's not too late to save him after we find the Ice Marrow Pill."

But Wen Shubai still went down to rescue people.

Ji Chaoxi stood silently to the side, waiting for Wen Shubai to come up.

What happened to the brotherhood they promised? They're not even saving him yet.

Thinking about what the triangular-eyed man had told her before they set off, she wasn't so angry anymore. After all, this group of people treated their fellow disciples the same way.

She's probably better off staying with the kind-hearted senior brother; at least he'd save her...

Several people sat nearby, their faces showing extreme annoyance.

"Why do you want to save him now, Senior Brother? The Ice Marrow Pill is the most important thing, isn't it?"

"He was the only one who fell; everyone was waiting for him."

Ji Chaoxi pretended to be mute.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Wen Shubai brought up the disciple who had already fainted. The disciple's legs were twisted strangely, and the white bone pierced through his pants, with blood flowing continuously, staining the surrounding area red.

Wen Shubai took out a pill, his triangular eyes wide with disbelief: "A bone-regenerating pill?"

His heart ached terribly: "Senior Brother, these are such precious pills! What if someone else gets injured later?"

What if he gets injured and there are no medicines for him to take?

Wen Shubai ignored the triangular-eyed man's words and put the pill into his disciple's mouth. The disciple's pale face finally improved.

Not only the triangular-eyed disciple, but other disciples were also somewhat dissatisfied with Wen Shubai's actions.

The Regenerating Muscle Pill is so precious, how could Senior Brother use it so casually, especially on someone like him who is a burden to them?

The atmosphere in the team was a bit heavy. Wen Shubai suddenly noticed that Ji Chaoxi was clinging to him even more.

She used to cling to him, but now she's clutching his sleeve, her brow furrowed, as if she's deep in thought.

Wen Shubai thought she was thinking about the Ice Marrow Pill, so he took her hand and said softly, "Junior Sister, we'll find the Ice Marrow Pill soon."

But at this moment, Ji Chaoxi was not thinking about the Ice Marrow Pill.

Wen Shubai noticed Ji Chaoxi's nervousness and asked gently, "What are you thinking about, Junior Sister?"

Ji Chaoxi sighed: "I'm thinking about how to go back after being abandoned."

Seeing her worried expression, Wen Shubai couldn't help but pat her head and say, "I won't abandon my junior sister."

He hadn't expected his junior sister to have such a strong sense of crisis.
