In Cheng Xiaofan's view, Shen Ruobing's people, as well as Long Xingyun and his girlfriend Jiang Xueyan, would at least reach this place by this afternoon.
He hadn't expected them to arrive so soon.
Cheng Xiaofan said to Long Xingyun, "Xingyun, take your girlfriend directly to Nanshan Lake. I'll come and arrange your work later."
"Alright, Master!" Long Xingyun replied decisively.
Not long after, Cheng Xiaofan arrived at Nanshan Lake, riding on Po Tianying.
"Ah, a poisonous snake!"
"Damn it, where did so many poisonous snakes come from here!"
"King cobra, five-step viper, short-tailed pit viper, green bamboo snake... Wow, why are there so many poisonous snakes around Nanshan Lake?"
"What's wrong with these snakes, showing up at this time? Can't people fish anymore!"
"Hey, what do you guys know? This must be the dragon qi attracting these poisonous snakes!"
"That's true. If these poisonous snakes hadn't suddenly appeared, would you really believe that dragon qi had appeared here?"
"Ah, help, I've been bitten by a krait!"
As soon as Cheng Xiaofan dismounted from Po Tianying, he heard someone crying for help.
His gaze immediately swept over the surroundings of Nanshan Lake's shore. Indeed, he found various poisonous snakes hidden in the dense grass.
It was normal for dragon qi to attract poisonous snakes.
Since the news of dragon qi appearing in Nanshan Lake spread, not only cultivators but also many curious tourists had come here.
Generally, cultivators with higher levels possessed an invisible aura that poisonous snakes dared not approach.
However, those with lower cultivation levels, as well as ordinary tourists, were not so lucky. If they accidentally stepped on a poisonous snake hidden in the grass, they would inevitably be retaliated against.
Legend had it that snakes and dragons shared the same ancestor before their evolution.
Among snakes, the more venomous the snake, the higher its spiritual intelligence.
Therefore, the appearance of dragon qi first attracted snakes with strong venom.
It was said that once poisonous snakes obtained dragon qi, they could not only mutate and possess immense power but were also delicacies eagerly sought by cultivators.
The stronger the dragon qi a poisonous snake possessed, the more delicious it tasted.
The problem was that poisonous snakes with dragon qi were not easily caught by ordinary cultivators.
And being bitten by a poisonous snake imbued with dragon qi, whether a cultivator or an ordinary person, was basically a death sentence.
Cheng Xiaofan had also overlooked the fact that the dragon qi would attract all the nearby poisonous snakes to Nanshan Lake.
He couldn't bother to meet with Long Xingyun. For now, the priority was to treat those bitten by snakes. Regardless, they couldn't let this minor flaw of poisonous snakes appearing in Nanshan Lake ruin the huge profits from taking advantage of those cultivators.
Ring ring!
At this moment, Cheng Xiaofan's phone rang.
He took it out and saw it was his "White Goddess" calling.
"Yiling, what's wrong?" Cheng Xiaofan immediately asked.
Bai Yiling said anxiously, "Xiaofan, I've arranged Shen Ruobing's people in the hotel on the lake island. But I don't know what's going on, there are so many poisonous snakes suddenly appearing around Nanshan Lake, and quite a few people have been bitten. What should we do?"
Hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan smiled faintly, "Yiling, don't worry, I'm already at Nanshan Lake. I will save everyone who has been bitten by poisonous snakes."
After hanging up, Cheng Xiaofan found a secluded spot, took out a bottle of Shenlong Dan from his spatial storage.
This Shenlong Dan was refined from snake venom fruit and could perfectly cure those bitten by poisonous snakes with just one pill.
No matter who it was, or what kind of venomous snake they were bitten by, there was no one that Shenlong Dan couldn't cure.
Cheng Xiaofan excitedly ran towards the direction of the cries for help.
"Don't worry, don't shout. With me here, you definitely won't die!" Cheng Xiaofan reached the person, scanned the aura on them, and his face immediately darkened.
It was a woman!
Just an ordinary woman!
The only thing eye-catching about her was her beauty!
But no matter how beautiful she was, she couldn't compare to his own "White Goddess"!
He had thought the person bitten was a cultivator.
Most cultivators were wealthy, and he could have made a good profit from this rare opportunity.
What a wasted effort.
Cheng Xiaofan took out a Shenlong Dan from the bottle and handed it to the beautiful woman, saying somewhat reluctantly, "Swallow this pill, and you'll be fine immediately!"
"Is your pill really that miraculous?" a young man squatting beside the beauty asked with a look of doubt.
Cheng Xiaofan glanced at the man, and his eyes immediately lit up.
This guy was a cultivator!
"Who is she to you?" Cheng Xiaofan asked, ignoring his question.
The young man replied, "She's my girlfriend!"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled slightly and immediately pressed further, "Tell me, whose life is more important, your girlfriend's, or your money?"
The young man answered quite sincerely, "Money is important, of course, but compared to my girlfriend, her life is more important!"
"Good. I see you're someone who isn't short of money. I'll save your girlfriend's life!" Cheng Xiaofan immediately put the Shenlong Dan into the beauty's mouth.
A crowd had gathered around to watch.
The crowd saw that after the beauty swallowed the pill, her originally pale complexion quickly turned rosy.
Then, looking at her ankle, which had been bitten by the snake, the swelling, which had been frightening, now disappeared at a visible speed.
A stream of black liquid seeped out around her ankle.
"Alright, you're fine now!" Cheng Xiaofan clapped his hands and said with a smile.
The young man asked the beauty, "How are you feeling now?"
The beauty smiled slightly and said, "Darling, I feel completely fine, really fine!" As she spoke, she got up from the ground.
"My heavens, it's too miraculous!"
"What kind of pill is this? It's so effective against snake venom!"
"A divine doctor, this is a true divine doctor!"
"Hey, this young man looks so familiar. That's right, I remember now, isn't he the village ruffian Cheng Xiaofan exposed online?"
"That's unbelievable. A village ruffian can also be a divine doctor?"
The onlookers around were all discussing animatedly.
Cheng Xiaofan's face turned as dark as ink upon hearing this. Who said a village ruffian couldn't be a divine doctor?
At this moment, seeing that his girlfriend was completely fine, the young man's face broke into a wide smile. He bowed to Cheng Xiaofan several times and said, "Thank you, divine doctor. Thank you for saving my girlfriend's life!"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "You're welcome. Please pay for the medicine!"
The young man nodded repeatedly and said, "Alright, divine doctor, name your price. How much is it? I'll transfer the money to your bank card immediately via mobile banking!"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled, "My pills are just a bit expensive. You pay what you think is fair!"
