"On what basis?" The two members of the Alchemy Guild smiled evilly, then drew out their long blades and stabbed him. "Based on the fact that we're from the Alchemy Guild."
It wasn't that there weren't any experts who came to seek medical help, but no one wanted to offend this local tyrant. They all retreated and chose other routes. The family of the deceased were also scared and dragged the corpse away.
With this departure, only Mu Xiaoling and the other two remained.
The two members of the Alchemist Guild looked at them and once again let out a scornful laugh. "How can there still be people who don't know the meaning of death? They don't even know the meaning of death."
"That will depend on whether you have the ability or not." Mu Xiaoling didn't even bother to take a glance as she led the way inside.
"There really are people who aren't afraid of death." The two of them were provoked by Mu Xiaoling's actions. They brandished their long sabers and rushed over. However, they saw the figure of the young man fluctuate. Their sabers clearly saw the person, but they felt as if nothing had happened.
This was only Mu Xiaoling's shadow. The real Mu Xiaoling had already appeared under an old tree by the side of the road. She raised her hand and caught the two green leaves. Then, she circulated her true energy and shot the green leaves directly into the duo's dantian.
People without a dantian would naturally not be able to enter the martial path. Since there was no virtue, he could just return to being an ordinary person.
"Let's go." Mu Xiaoling pulled her veil tighter and led the way up the mountain, followed by Xiao Yu and Liu Chen'er.
When the others saw this, they were all moved. There was already no one standing guard on the left and right. They might as well go up and take a look. Immediately, a large group of people followed them onto the third path.
The person leading the group was the chairman of the branch, his name was Ning Yuanshui.
Speaking of which, Ning Yuanshui was sent by the Medicine Guild from the Middle Realm. His goal was to find the Medicine God Valley and find that genius doctor from the Southern Palace.
He had heard that the ancient divine tool, the Shen Nong Cauldron, was in the hands of the Southern Palace. The Medicine Master Guild and the Southern Palace had fought over it for so many years just for the sake of the Shen Nong Cauldron.
Ning Yuanshui had been cultivating for more than 300 years, so he had a young and handsome appearance. However, once he reached this lower realm, his cultivation was limited, so he had no choice but to reveal his original appearance. Although he vomited to the point where he was about to die, he had no other choice.
In any case, he wasn't really going to fight them, as long as he found a place to send a message back to the central world.
On the fifteenth day of the month, he would bring along such a group of people to the mountain. Firstly, it was to collect funds, and secondly, it was to be used as hostages.
However, this time, before he had even walked up the mountain for a long distance, he felt a wave of heat in his pocket. He took it out and saw that two small wooden tablets had a crack in them.
Every time he went up the mountain, he would make two wooden boards for the members that were guarding the mountain path to connect to their lives. If any accidents happened to the two of them, the wooden plates would react according to their circumstances, so as to avoid any experts coming up the mountain, he did not know.
Ning Yuanshui knew that he couldn't afford to delay any longer. He immediately took out the compass and other items to calculate the correct path.
Below, Mu Xiaoling and the other two weren't in a hurry. After all, it was midnight when the entrance to the Medicine God Valley was opened. Thus, they walked while enjoying the scenery around them.
Suddenly, a voice resounded in Mu Xiaoling's head. "Master, Xiao Jin can't endure it any longer. Can we let Xiao Jin go?"
Mu Xiaoling's footsteps faltered for a moment before she immediately condensed a real body into a space within her sea of consciousness. She saw Xiao Jin drool as he looked at her and said, "The smell outside is so fragrant. Xiao Jin is about to lose his appetite."
Only then did Mu Xiaoling remember that there were a lot of spiritual herbs on Herb Mountain. To Xiao Jin, this was a huge temptation. "I'll let you out right now. However, you have to keep your ears."
The two large, round ears on Xiao Jin's head shook and with a 'sou' sound, he retracted his hair. He happily tilted his head and said, "Master, look. There's nothing left."
"Alright." Mu Xiaoling couldn't resist stroking his soft hair as she exited the beast driving space and returned to reality. She looked around to her left and right and found no one else. She then said, "Use my blood to call for the spirit of Ru."
Not only did she not bleed, she didn't even finish reciting the incantation. After a soft flash of light, the Crimson Gold Rat appeared before her.
Mu Xiaoling had a feeling that the deeper she was bound to the pets, the simpler the chants would be. In the end, perhaps with just a thought, her pets would be able to break through the boundaries and appear before her.
This was a type of feeling that was incredibly mysterious. As for the principle, she couldn't say.
Xiao Yu wasn't surprised, he even praised with a smile, "Xiao Jin has grown taller again."
"Hee hee." Xiao Jin smiled sweetly and immediately turned into a golden-red mouse. In the blink of an eye, he dived into the bushes nearby and quickly took out a 500 year old ginseng and handed it to Mu Xiaoling.
Mu Xiaoling smiled and gave the ginseng back to the Rat. "I'll give it to you to eat."
The Crimson Gold Mouse spun around happily as he used his front legs to hug the ginseng and began chomping down on it.
Liu Chen'er watched on dumbfoundedly, especially the scene where a living person turned into a mouse. She already did not know how to evaluate the astonishment in her heart. "This is …"
Mu Xiaoling said, "His name is Xiao Jin and he is my beast pet. I have the innate ability to drive away beasts."
"No wonder." She didn't see anyone with a better talent than Mu Xiaoling.
The Crimson Gold Rat finished eating the ginseng and then ran forward. It seemed to be wondering why its master hadn't caught up to it when it turned around and squeaked twice.
"Let's go." There was plenty of time. After Mu Xiaoling finished her sentence, she took a step forward and followed behind the Crimson Gold-Mouse.
At the beginning, the golden rat only ate ginseng to satisfy its appetite. However, it didn't want to eat anymore. As long as it could find a passable one, it would throw them to Mu Xiaoling.
The three people and the mouse became more and more desolate until the Crimson Gold Rat seemed to have smelled something. It actually started dancing excitedly as it used its sea of consciousness to communicate with Mu Xiaoling. "Master, Xiao Jin smelled an extremely nice smell. It's right in front."
When Mu Xiaoling heard this, she knew that a rare treasure had appeared in front of her. Only this kind of treasure could make the Crimson Gold Rat so happy. "Go take a look."
The Goldbiter Rat cheered as it walked in the direction of the fragrance.
There was no road here, it was filled with long grass that reached to her knees. Mu Xiaoling was completely unable to see the Crimson Gold-Mouse, so she could only use her contract power to follow behind. Xiao Yu and Liu Cheng followed closely behind her.
In front of a cave.
However, the scenery in front of him was extremely strange. This lush vegetation seemed to have encountered a natural moat when it reached a hundred meters away from the cave entrance. It formed a huge ring around the cave entrance.
In front of him was crimson-black soil, as if it had been burnt by flames. There was also a pungent smell of sulfur, as if it had drifted out from the cave.
