Not knowing what to do, Shi Ling asked again, "How much?"

When Gongsun Jie saw the astonished expression on Shi Ling's face, he smiled. He immediately raised a finger and repeated the words he had spoken, "My medical fees, is a total of ten thousand gold coins!"

The corner of Shi Ling's mouth twitched as he said, "No, Senior Brother, isn't your medical fees too expensive?" Ten thousand gold coins? Did you give me some immortal elixir or elixir? "

At this time, Gongsun Jie seemed calm and composed. As he placed his silver needles, many healing tools and pills back into the medicine box, he calmly said, "Young man, you don't understand. If I really gave you elixirs, do you think 10,000 gold coins would be enough? I just gave you some very ordinary healing pills. "

Shi Ling opened his mouth and asked, "An ordinary pill is worth ten thousand gold coins?"

Gongsun Jie replied with some displeasure, "If I hadn't come to heal you, you would have died in this tree hole a long time ago. Don't tell me you think your life wouldn't even reach 10,000 gold coins?"

When Shi Ling heard this, he didn't know how to refute. Gongsun Jie then continued, "I'm too lazy to talk to you. With just one sentence, my medical fees, ten thousand gold coins. If you don't have enough cash, use the Star Origin Fruit, or Spiritual Bead, or any other medicinal pills, magical equipment, or talismans of equal value."

As he said this, he extended his hand out towards Shi Ling, but Shi Ling lowered his head at this moment, and scratched the back of his head with one hand. As he said this, he extended his hand towards Shi Ling, but at this moment, Shi Ling lowered his head, and scratched the back of his head with the other hand.

At that moment, Shi Ling said somewhat embarrassedly, "What? Senior Brother, you should know that low-level disciples like us don't even have that much money. Do you think that would be possible?"

As he spoke, a wide smile appeared on Shi Ling's face. However, Gongsun Jie raised his hand and pushed it forward, stopping Shi Ling from continuing. Then, he heard Gongsun Jie say, "No credit at all!"

With a single sentence, Shi Ling had blocked his path. At this time, he spread out his hands and said, "Senior Apprentice Brother, let me be frank with you. The items I have here are worth less than ten thousand gold coins. Even if you kill me now, they're useless. I can't give you that much money either."

At this moment, Gongsun Jie also noticed the awkward situation Shi Ling was in and took a look at his clothes. He was only a service disciple, and a service disciple would not be able to take out ten thousand gold coins.

Ten thousand gold coins was already the cheapest price he could offer. If it was at a lower price, wouldn't he suffer a loss? At this moment, Gongsun Jie revealed an expression of contemplation as he tried to think of how to deal with this matter.

At this moment, Shi Ling sat quietly to the side. He did not speak, nor did he disturb Gongsun Jie.

Very soon, Gongsun Jie appeared to be deep in thought. He immediately turned to Shi Ling and asked, "How strong are you?"

Shi Ling was stunned for a moment. He didn't know why the other party would suddenly ask such a question, but he didn't try to hide it from him. "The Great Circle of the Spirit Accumulation Realm. What's wrong?"

Gongsun Jie knitted his brows and pondered again before saying, "The person that the Zhang disciples are looking for should be you, right?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Ling could not help but let out a bitter laugh and said, "Sorry, Senior Brother."

However, Gongsun Jie had an evil smile on his face as he recalled what that Zhang disciple had told him about Shi Ling using his own strength to suppress the Zhang family's three great experts and nearly a hundred disciples.

He had a bad premonition, but at this moment, Gongsun Jie was rubbing against Shi Ling's side, the evil smile on his face became even more pronounced. Shi Ling swallowed a mouthful of saliva, instinctively moving away from this guy, his hands still crossed in front of his chest, as if someone was trying to molest him.

At this moment, Gongsun Jie spoke up, "What? Since junior Shixiong Shi has such strength, why don't you help me make up for the insufficient medical fees?"

Shi Ling couldn't help but exclaim, "What is it?"

"Help me get something!" Gongsun Jie said.

Gongsun Jie pointed at a spot outside and said, "At that place, there is a cave. Inside the cave, there is a 300 year old Ancient Fragrance. I want you to help me get that Ancient Orchid Fragrance back so that the 10,000 gold coins you owe me can be paid. What do you think?"

The corner of Shi Ling's mouth twitched as he thought to himself, Three hundred year old herb, it should be worth at least twenty thousand gold coins, right? Of course, Shi Ling wouldn't say these words out loud. Immediately, he took out a clean set of clothes from his spatial ring and changed into them. He said, "Okay, then lead the way."

After saying that, Shi Ling put on his clothes. Gongsun Jie was a little speechless, but he continued, "I'll stay here. Just bring them here after you go and pick them up yourself."

At this moment, Shi Ling stood up and stretched out his head to look around the dark forest. He then turned to Gongsun Jie and said, "How am I supposed to search alone in the middle of the night? What's more, are you not afraid that I would suddenly run away and not pay your medical fees? "

Gongsun Jie's eyes widened as he said, "I bet that you won't pay my medical fees. Let me tell you, even if you hide, it's useless. As long as you're still in the Spirit Sword Sect, I'm not afraid that I won't be able to find you!"

Seeing that this guy had such a huge reaction, Shi Ling couldn't help but shake his head and laugh. "Alright, I understand. But just to be safe, why don't you give it to me?" "If I recognize the wrong plant, you can't blame me then."

Gongsun Jie's temper was immediately cut off by Shi Ling. He took a deep breath, stood up, and pointed a finger at Shi Ling as he said: "Let's go, I'll take you there!"

After saying that, Gongsun Jie jumped out of the tree hole and landed under the tree. After showing an expression of having succeeded in his evil scheme, Shi Ling followed Gongsun Jie and jumped down.

In fact, both Shi Ling and Gongsun Jie understood why Gongsun Jie didn't want to go there, and wanted Shi Ling to go instead. "The purpose was simple, because every region that contained a great treasure would have all sorts of natural barriers blocking the way. It would either be a powerful demonic beast, or a strange environment, or it would have a special ability that prevented people from approaching it.

For an ordinary cultivator, the natural protective barrier usually possessed a terrifying amount of power. Therefore, unless there was no other choice, basically no one would choose to take the initiative to retrieve those treasures.

Immediately, Gongsun Jie brought Shi Ling to a cave. With the cover of the night, the two of them hid in the bushes. Gongsun Jie pointed at the cave and said, "It's that cave."

Shi Ling looked into the dark cave and whispered, "Ying Huanhuan, open!"

After which, the darkness in Shi Ling's eyes swiftly disappeared. At the same time, it was as though he had added a telescope into his vision, allowing him to instantly see the scene within clearly.

On top of a huge rock, there was a snow-silver flower, which looked a little like a dandelion. On top of it, there was also a little light, which meant that it should be the fragrance of Ancient Orchid. However, Shi Ling shifted his gaze away from the flower, and saw a gigantic wolf demon lying below the huge rock.

Immediately, Shi Ling turned to Gongsun Jie and said, "There's a wolf demon inside!"

Gongsun Jie looked at Shi Ling in surprise as he thought to himself, "How did this kid know there was a wolf demon inside?" Could it be that he had come here before? No, if he had come here before, he wouldn't need to leave any marks along the way to prevent himself from getting lost. Could it be that he could clearly see the scene inside? That's not right. At that moment, the lighting is very dim. Even some nocturnal creatures would have difficulty seeing clearly in such an environment. Besides, it's a cave 500 meters away from that place. "

Gongsun Jie's eyes flickered for a moment. Since Shi Ling already knew that there was a wolf demon inside, there was no point for him to hide anything. He immediately said to Shi Ling: "That wolf demon is Ancient Fragrance's guardian beast.

When Shi Ling heard this, a hint of hesitation appeared on his face. However, he quickly nodded and said, "Alright, I'll try to lure it away."

The main reason why Shi Ling readily agreed to Gongsun Jie's request was because he wanted to repay Gongsun Jie's kindness as soon as possible.

As he walked, his eyes stared fixedly at the wolf demon sleeping soundly on the ground. His eyes started to slightly twirl, allowing Shi Ling to instantly see through the enemy's cultivation. It was four hundred years old, and was almost at the Blood Solidification Realm. With Shi Ling's current cultivation, if he ran into a demon beast like this, he would be instantly blown to smithereens.

However, Shi Ling did not cower because his opponent was too strong. When he arrived at the entrance of the cave, he pulled out the Mystic Wood Sword from his back and gripped it tightly in his hand. His footsteps were a little stiff.

Gongsun Jie also became nervous when he saw Shi Ling's appearance behind Shi Ling. When Shi Ling walked into the cave, Shi Ling saw the eyes of the wolf demon still lying on the ground twitch.

Fortunately, the demon wolf's head twisted to the side, and it continued to fall asleep. Only then did Shi Ling let out a sigh of relief, and he continued to carefully walk towards the demon wolf. As he walked towards the demon, he thought, how do I lure it out?

As a result, a tree branch under Shi Ling's feet was suddenly crushed by him, emitting a light cracking sound. It was very obvious in this quiet cave, causing Shi Ling to become completely dumbfounded. Then, he saw the wolf demon lying on the ground raise its head, then turn to look at Shi Ling.

"..."

Outside, Gongsun Jie began to walk back and forth as he muttered, "What's going on? Why haven't there been any reactions for so long?" Even if that brat is eaten by a wolf demon, shouldn't it at least make a sound of chewing? "

With that, he turned his gaze towards the cave again. It was the same as before, from the outside, it was pitch black.

Right at this moment, a loud screech echoed out. Shi Ling dashed towards the exit, with the wolf demon behind him following closely behind as he issued out a few beastly roars.

At this moment, Gongsun Jie could clearly see that a tuft of hair had been plucked off of the head of the wolf demon. After that, he saw the wolf demon furiously chasing after Shi Ling.

After which, he hid in a secret location and watched as Shi Ling successfully lured the wolf demon away. After which, he hid in a hidden place and watched as Shi Ling successfully lured the wolf demon away, and then rushed inside.

At this moment, Gongsun Jie rushed into the cave. Soon, he saw the glowing fragrance of the Ancient Orchid. He did not have the time to slowly pull it out of the soil.

However, it was also at this moment that Gongsun Jie felt his heart tighten, and a chill ran down his spine, as if a pair of scarlet eyes were staring at him from the depths of the darkness. He turned around to see a wolf demon that was even larger than before slowly walking out of the darkness.

Gongsun Jie was instantly petrified on the spot. At this moment, he could no longer hold onto the incense in his hand.

"..."

At this moment, as Shi Ling frantically escaped, he couldn't help but turn around to look at the Demonic Wolf behind him. He thought to himself, it's been so long, Gongsun Jie should have already obtained it, right? Then would he be able to shake off this beast?

As Shi Ling thought of this, he pulled out the Mysterious Wood Sword from his back. Then, he suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned around to face the wolf demon. Lifting the sword up high, he shouted, "Afterimage Kill!"

The next moment, a dot of light appeared on the tip of the Mystic Wood Sword. As the wolf demon charged towards Shi Ling, Shi Ling abruptly chopped the sword down.

Boom! A sword aura was released. With the power of the afterimage, it directly formed a three-meter-wide half moon light that shot towards the wolf demon.

Boom! * The moment the Half Moon Flowing Light collided with the wolf demon, an astonishing gale immediately swept through the surroundings, blowing up thick smoke on the spot.

Upon seeing this, Shi Ling immediately placed the black wooden sword back into his back and fled into the distance. He had never thought that the sword Qi would be able to kill the wolf demon as long as it could give him some time to escape.

However, just at this moment, another loud roar rang out. Shi Ling couldn't help but turn back to look, only to see Gongsun Jie dashing in his direction at an astonishing speed. Shi Ling's eyes widened abruptly, because he saw an even larger wolf demon chasing after Gongsun Jie.

However, Gongsun Jie had his eyes on Shi Ling and followed closely behind him. Furthermore, he was even faster than Shi Ling, and the two of them were on the same level in just a short moment.

The two Demonic Wolves followed closely behind them. As Shi Ling ran, he said to Gongsun Jie, "Didn't you say that there was only one Demonic Wolf in the cave? Where did you get the other one? "

Gongsun Jie shouted as he ran, "How would I have known that there were two wolf demons in there!"

At this moment, Shi Ling revealed an expression as if he had seen a dog before, and said: "Then what do we do now?"

Gongsun Jie roared, "What else can we do? Run! "

Shi Ling: "…"

However, just as the two of them were running madly, a loud roar came from the front, "Shi Ling, I want to see where you're going to run to this time!"

Shi Ling was stunned for a moment. Then, he saw Zhang Yuquan leading a group of disciples towards his direction.
