The appearance of an unfamiliar black warship in Hermean Alliance's core territory immediately attracted a lot of attention. Hermean Alliance's territory rarely saw battleships, let alone battleships that were ridiculously large.

Gu Ding and his crew stepped down from the spaceship and were immediately recognized by many pharmacologists.

"It's Gu Ding, the Interstellar Pirate who escaped from Purgatory Gate!"

"A guy with a bounty of 28 billion Source Stones, he must have killed a lot of people …"

"It's said that those with a bounty of more than 10 billion Source Stones have true god-level combat effectiveness. There are only two people in the Gu Ding Pirate Crew with a bounty of less than 10 billion Source Stones, which means that the rest of them have true god-level combat effectiveness."

"Why would Interstellar Pirates appear here? This is Hermean Alliance's core territory. Did they attack their way here?! "



Gu Ding and his crew attracted a lot of attention as soon as they arrived, mainly because they had been in the limelight recently. Their projections had been sent to the entire Human Cosmic Sea by the Federal Government, so it was hard not to know them.

Gu Ding and his crew had gotten used to this kind of 'stare' since more than three years ago. Under the watchful eyes of countless people, Gu Ding and his crew calmly got into the car arranged by Venerable Master Medicine.

The car was also recognized by many people, and some people raised their doubts.

"Isn't that the car from Venerable Master Medicine's residence? Does that mean that Gu Ding and his crew were invited by Venerable Master Medicine? But why would Venerable Master Medicine invite Interstellar Pirates? "

Gu Ding and his crew heard these questions, but they only smiled.

About half an hour later, the car drove into a forest. Deep in the forest, Gu Ding and his crew saw a small bungalow in the distance.

"Whose house is that?" Gu Ding could not help but ask.

"It's Venerable Master Medicine's," the driver replied after looking in the direction.

"He lives in a place like this?" Gu Ding was not the only one who was surprised. Lilliath and the others were also puzzled.

Venerable Medicine's residence was completely different from what Gu Ding and the others had imagined. It stood to reason that a leader like him would give off the impression that he lived in a luxurious castle. However, all Gu Ding and his crew saw was a small bungalow. Although it was not small, it did not look luxurious at all.

The only thing worth mentioning was that there was a courtyard in front of the bungalow. It was about sixty to seventy square meters and was divided into three small nursery plots filled with various herbs. Looking into the distance, Gu Ding could not name most of the herbs.

However, Gu Ding soon noticed that the car was not heading toward the hut. "Aren't we going to visit Venerable Master Medicine?"

"The Venerable One asked me to send all of you to the Forest Hotel. Everyone is to gather there and depart tomorrow. Although that's where the Venerable One usually stays, he spends most of his working hours at the Medicine God Tower in the city center, "the driver explained patiently.

The Forest Hotel was located in a valley, with mountains and rivers on one side. It was far away from human habitation, so the transportation was actually not convenient. However, for those who were at the level of gods and above, interstellar teleportation was a piece of cake. There was no problem of whether transportation was convenient or not. Moreover, other than Gu Ding and the others, the people who were selected this time were all powerhouses above true god-level. True God experts already possessed the ability to teleport short distances between different universes.

When they arrived at the Forest Hotel, Gu Ding and the others were amazed by the hotel's appearance.

This was because the entire hotel was actually a giant tree. The diameter of the tree trunk was estimated to be several thousand meters, and it was completely hollow.

"Is this man-made?" Gu Ding could not help but exclaim as the group got out of the car.

"No, this tree is called the Guardian Giant Tree. It first appeared in the Archean Era. Only a small number of them survived in the Archean Era, and they were considered a rare species. Later, some replanters from the Archean Era grafted and modified the species, allowing them to proliferate in large numbers. The one we're looking at is a remnant from the Archean Era, and it's a mutated species. "

"This kind of plant takes hundreds of millions of years to grow, and it goes through a metamorphosis every ten billion years. If there are no accidents, it can live for hundreds of eras. This one has obviously existed for less than an era, and it's still a seedling. "

"The Guardian Giant Tree is born with an internal vacuum, and it has a unique affinity for all kinds of species. The plant hormones they release can make people naturally relax. If you want to live in it, you just need to stand on its leaves, and the leaves will automatically form a cocoon, forming an independent internal space. Its leaves have a unique isolation effect, and it's impossible to see what's going on inside from the outside, but it can be adjusted to a variety of colors from the inside. As long as you adjust it to a transparent color like a window, you can see the scenery outside. Although it's in a cocoon state, there's no obstruction to air circulation, and ordinary people can also live in it. "

Neptune's explanation was an eye-opener for Gu Ding and the others.

As soon as Gu Ding and the others entered the tree trunk, they were surrounded by many people, and some of their gazes did not seem very friendly.

"Gu Ding's Pirate Crew, why are you here?" Someone muttered in a low voice. Obviously, Gu Ding and the others were immediately recognized.

"Mr. Gu Ding, this way please!" The waiter immediately greeted them.

"Wait!" At that moment, a burly man suddenly stood up.

"What's the matter?" Gu Ding raised his head and looked over. The man was slightly more muscular than Dockett, who was nearly two meters tall. Dockett, who was standing beside him, was glaring at him angrily as if he was ready to fight at the slightest provocation.

"This is Hermean Alliance's territory, not a place where you Interstellar Pirates can come. Go back to where you came from!" The burly man said rudely.

As soon as he said that, everyone in Gu Ding's crew except Gu Ding was ready to attack, but they were stopped by Gu Ding's outstretched hand.

"First of all, I'm a pharmacologist. Hermean Alliance's territory is freely accessible to all pharmacologists in the entire Cosmic Sea. Second, we're here with the approval of Hermean Alliance's leader, Medicine Lord. Third, I suggest that you brush your teeth every time you go out. It's good for freshening your breath. "

"I'll brush you …" The burly man stopped abruptly before he could finish his sentence.

"Don't hold it in, say it." A white-clothed Phaser's longsword was already at his neck at some point, and there was a faint cut on it. There was no sign of it stopping the bleeding. Phaser's expression was calm, and there was a slight smile on her lips.

"What a fast sword strike!" A powerhouse in the crowd could not help but exclaim.

Although the burly man was also a True God, he was only a low-level True God. He could tell from the speed of Phaser's sword that the other party had the ability to kill him, so he swallowed back the curse he was about to say.

"Gu Ding, it's not very kind of you to attack someone from Hermean Alliance the moment you arrive." Another person walked out from the crowd. The person was handsome and wore a white doctor's robe. His appearance caused a commotion in the crowd.
