"Is this era that bad? No, to us healers, especially the inheritors of ancient medical science, this is the best era! Is there any other era that can compare to this era in terms of medicinal efficacy?
Look at you! Look at you! You've messed up the proportions of the herbs! You're the stupidest thing you can do by following the ancient books! I can't believe I thought you were talented! "
At this moment, a slightly old but vigorous voice roared in a valley. Just by listening to the tone, one could tell that the owner of the voice was fierce as if he wanted to devour someone. Naturally, no one responded to him.
However, even though the sound was frightening, the valley was wonderful.
It was already winter, and the snow had blanketed the mountain range, but the valley was lush with greenery. The lawn was like a velvet carpet and the wildflowers of all colors were like stars in the night sky. A waterfall cascaded down from the peak of the valley. When the water fell into the pool at the bottom of the valley, it splashed the water and created layers of mist.
What was even more amazing was that there were all sorts of mutated plants and even ferocious plants around the valley. However, no matter how dangerous and ferocious these plants were, they seemed to be 'obedient' in the valley. They only swayed with the wind as if they were acting cute, displaying their blooming flowers, flowers, and leaves. They had no intention of fighting with each other at all. If one looked at them for a long time, they would even find it a little funny.
Upon a closer look, the knowledgeable would be shocked to realize that the mutated and vicious plants around the valley were all very precious and had high medicinal value. There were even two or three of them that were said to be able to produce the most precious Genetic Chain Potential Enhancement Reagent.
It would be a mistake to think that the valley was a treasure trove just because of that.
Upon a closer look, the knowledgeable would also notice an even more extravagant and amazing fact. Whether it was the lawn, the wildflowers, or the meticulously cared for flowers and fruits in the garden, they were all plants from the old civilization. They were the original plants from the old civilization, and there were no mutated plants from the old civilization!
One thing worth noting was that Emperor Han had a garden that he wanted to cultivate plants from the old civilization, but after a long time of hard work, he could only cultivate plants that were similar to those from the old civilization. None of them had mutated at all.
So, who was the owner of the valley? How did he possess such power? Even the wildflowers and grasses were original plants from the old civilization. In terms of actual value, the plants from the old civilization were not as valuable as the mutated and vicious plants around the valley.
However, this kind of thing was just like the hobbies of the rich in the old civilization. All they cared about was luxury and taste.
Who was the owner of the valley? Was that the old man who roared with vigor just now?
At this moment, the old man was standing at the entrance of an inconspicuous cave on the left side of the valley, glaring angrily at a girl outside the cave.
The old man had a head full of white hair, but his face was ruddy. He was tall and straight, and he wore a very simple grayish-white hemp robe weaved from some kind of tough grass.
He might be dressed simply like a commoner of the lowest class in the Purple Moon era, but his presence was like the immortals described in ancient Huaxia's myths and legends. He was a master of the mountains, so no one dared to underestimate him.
And what about the girl at the entrance of the cave?
From the back, he looked a little thin and slender. He was also dressed in white linen clothes, and his long black hair reached his waist.
In front of him was a table and beside him was a piece of white cloth. On top of the cloth were some scattered herbs and some ancient tools for grinding and cutting herbs.
She was bending over the table and copying something. From the side of her face, the girl was elegant and beautiful. She looked calm but had a faint sense of stubbornness.
The girl did not seem to care about the angry old man who had just roared at her. She was seriously copying a thread-bound ancient book in front of her and would stop to think from time to time.
"Copy, copy, copy. All you know is to copy. You didn't even wait for me to say anything and you're already accepting your punishment? Do you think I'll forgive you? " Maybe because the girl did not budge, the old man was even angrier. He could not help but point his finger at the girl and throw another tantrum.
As he spoke, another old man carefully walked out of the cave with a steaming hot marinated bone in his mouth. He carefully looked at the angry old man and mumbled, "Master Fu, your skin has turned black …"
The general meaning of his words should be 'Master Fu, don't be angry', but because he did not want to let go of the bone in his mouth, his words were muffled.
Hearing this, the old man became even angrier. He turned to look at the old man with the bone in his mouth. Just as he was about to say something, the old man suddenly stopped.
The girl who was copying suddenly looked up with a smile. "Great Master, what else should I do? How do you want to punish me? "
As the girl raised her head, a face that had completely bloomed like a flower that had bloomed at its most beautiful time appeared. Her smile was like the most beautiful flower in the valley.
More than two years had passed. Along with the changes in her bones, the face of the young girl had changed slightly.
Her delicate features had gained a sense of elegance and a sense of heroic beauty.
If Tang Ling was there, he would have recognized the girl at first glance. Was she not Ro Xin?
The old man with the bone in his mouth was Gu Dao, the owner of the drugstore in Darkness Port. Why were they here? Even Han Xing, who always asked about his friends and Boss Huang from time to time, did not know that Ro Xin was in such a place!
It meant that all the information about Ro Xin that the outside world had received was delayed and might be a smokescreen.
As for Boss Huang's information, Han Xing always had to guess.
With Han Xing's intellect, he might not be able to understand Boss Huang's mysterious information, but if he really knew that Ro Xin was studying in a mysterious valley, he would at least be able to figure out one thing. Who had the ability to create such a huge smokescreen around Ro Xin's whereabouts? Even Han Xing, who had Holy Tree City behind him and purposely asked for information, was kept from the public.
However, Han Xing did not know the truth. Even if he did, no one would tell him the answer and the hidden purpose behind the answer.
In short, in this turbulent era, there was more than one mastermind behind the scheme.
Aside from the heavy burdens behind the scenes, the mysterious valley was quiet and beautiful. Ro Xin's smile and question rendered the hot-tempered, mysterious elder speechless.
He blew his beard and glared. It seemed like he did not want to be at a disadvantage, so he turned to look at Gu Dao, who was gnawing on the bone. It seemed like he wanted to vent his anger on Gu Dao …
Gu Dao shrunk his neck and looked a little sneaky. It was time for him to run. No one knew better than him how difficult it was to deal with the elder before him. His beloved disciple, Ro Xin, might seem calm, but she hid a weird and rebellious soul.
However, the elder did not plan to let Gu Dao go. Just as he was about to lose his temper and Gu Dao was about to run, an eagle's cry came from the valley.
The cry attracted the attention of the three of them, who each had their own thoughts. Ro Xin put down the pen in her hand and Gu Dao stopped trying to run. As for the mysterious elder whom Ro Xin addressed as Great Master, his expression turned serious as he strode out of the cave.
The elder did not seem to be walking fast like a common man, but in the blink of an eye, he was a few hundred meters away and arrived at the center of the valley.
Any Purple Moon Warrior above rank 3 would know that it was a profound usage of Shadow Steps. If the elder could use Shadow Steps during his normal steps, his true strength must have reached the upper rank.
Right after the elder stood still in the middle of the valley, a giant shadow appeared in the sky like a floating dark cloud.
A breeze blew in the valley. A giant Level 4 vicious beast, the Scarlet Sky Tempest Eagle, flapped its wings and slowly descended. It stopped in the middle of the valley and landed in front of the mysterious elder as if it was very intimate with him.
The mysterious elder jumped up and landed on the Scarlet Sky Tempest Eagle's back, which was as tall as a two-story building. He caressed it a few times before he sauntered to the back of the eagle's neck. He reached his hand out and searched the few green feathers on its neck before he fished out a small golden barrel.
With the barrel in hand, the elder looked even more serious. He sent the Scarlet Sky Tempest Eagle away and returned to the cave. He sat down and opened the golden barrel.
This palm-sized bucket couldn't hold much. After opening it, there was only an animal skin scroll inside. Without much hesitation, the old man opened the animal skin scroll and began to read it.
Ro Xin, who had always been calm, was a little anxious. She stood up and looked at the mysterious elder. "Great Master, is there any order?"
Gu Dao did not care about the bones anymore. He wiped his hands on his shirt and asked with concern, "Master, is there any change in the outside world?"
The mysterious elder did not answer. He read the scroll a few times and fell into deep thought.
She looked a little nervous, but she did not know what she was nervous about.
Gu Dao, on the other hand, was even more unsettled than Ro Xin. Since the old man did not speak, he could not help but ask, "Master, tell me, what happened? Why did you … "
Gu Dao wanted to ask the Scarlet Sky Tempest Eagle to deliver a message.
In this era, one's strength was divided according to one's level, but some special abilities could not be expressed by level. For example, the Scarlet Sky Tempest Eagle was known as the safest beast to deliver information. It was related to its ability to evade detection from super-advanced technology and had nothing to do with its level.
The Scarlet Sky Tempest Eagle was the most common variant of the Gale Eagle, so it was extremely rare. Under normal circumstances, it would not be used to deliver information. After all, if one was lost, it would be a matter of luck to breed another.
Even the mysterious elder would not use the Scarlet Sky Tempest Eagle if it was not something important. With that in mind, how could Gu Dao remain calm?
However, the mysterious elder did not want to keep Gu Dao in suspense anymore. He tossed the scroll to Gu Dao and Ro Xin moved to Gu Dao's side.
Almost impatiently, Gu Dao opened the beast skin scroll. There was only a simple line of words on it.
"Send Ro Xin to Valley X in three months."
Other than that, there were two red words at the bottom of the sentence — assemble!
"Valley X?" Ro Xin did not care about the word 'assemble'. She was very curious about the place. Was there a valley with such a name?
However, Gu Daoze closed the beast skin scroll and walked up to the mysterious old man. "Are we going to assemble? Did you find a new candidate or …? "
As he spoke, Gu Dao looked at Ro Xin with a worried gaze. Even someone as smart as Ro Xin did not understand what her master and Great Master were talking about. However, Gu Dao's gaze made her heart race a little faster.
Why did it race? Ro Xin frowned, but she could not tell the reason.
"Regardless, since the Assemble Order has been used, the matter has come to an end. It's been a decade of sharpening a sword, but the blade has yet to be tested. It's time for Little Ro Xin to leave Medicine Fanatic Valley, "said the mysterious elder with a sigh.
"Isn't the time a little too short?" Gu Dao also sighed.
"Before the one in the sky comes, the one on the ground must be dealt with first, isn't it?" The mysterious elder raised his head and closed his eyes. His expression was devoid of emotion.
The strange conversation made Ro Xin's heart race and a little anxious. "Great Master, Master, what are you talking about? Do you still need to talk in riddles? "
"Pack your things and follow me out of the valley." Gu Dao also became serious. He tossed the bone away but did not answer Ro Xin's question.
"Go to Valley X?" Ro Xin could not help but ask, "What kind of place is Valley X?"
"A place where the greatest hero of this era is buried," replied Gu Dao simply. Gu Dao replied briefly before he turned around and walked into the cave. He had to pack his things and send her to Valley X safely.
Every spark of hope was of the utmost importance, and they could not afford to lose it.
The era was unpredictable. Those who could meet the absolute protagonist of the era would eventually become the stars of the era. Was this fate that could not be seen?
**
On top of a hill with its back facing the sun, a buff young man sat cross-legged with his eyes closed and muttered, "The Qi of Heaven and Earth seems chaotic, but it is actually orderly. The shape of the mountain hides the force field, the water contains the force of fate. Observe the landscape, search …"
More than two years had passed, and Ro Li had shaved off his beard. He looked much younger than before. At the very least, it was possible to see that he still looked masculine and handsome. He also looked more mature than before, and he was wearing a gray robe in the style of ancient Huaxia. He even looked a little more refined.
A breeze blew over. Ro Li, who had his eyes closed, suddenly opened them and said softly, "Rise."
Not far away from him, there was a stone statue that was sitting cross-legged. It looked rather cumbersome, but it slowly stood up and began to slowly pace back and forth.
This kind of thing did not seem to have any power, but upon closer inspection, as the stone statue moved, the entire hillside facing away from the sun was actually trembling slightly with the stone statue's steps. Even every blade of grass, every tree, and every rock on the hillside seemed to be moving with the rhythm of the stone statue's movements.
Seeing this, a hint of joy appeared in Ro Li's eyes.
A light voice came from behind Ro Li, "Mountain Elf's Puppet. Li 'er, you've finally succeeded."
Hearing this voice, Ro Li quickly stood up and bowed respectfully to the person behind him. "Master, when did you come?"
The newcomer was a typical native of the Dongsheng State. From his appearance, he seemed to be a middle-aged man who had experienced the vicissitudes of life. He wore the same gray robes as Luo Li and had his hands behind his back. The sleeves of his robes fluttered in the wind. His black hair was tied into a simple ancient Huaxia Daoist bun on top of his head. His beard reached his chest and fluttered in the wind. He had the elegance of an otherworldly person.
While Ro Li was asking, the middle-aged man whom Ro Li addressed as master swung his sleeves and walked toward Ro Li.
Ro Li did not move very fast, but he only felt his vision blur and his master was already in front of him.
Ro Li could not help but sigh at his master's prowess. Then, his fighting spirit to become stronger was ignited, and he heard his master say, "I've been here for a while. But that's not important. What's important is that you should leave. "
Ro Li's expression changed when he heard his master's words. "Master, why are you chasing me away? Is it because I'm too stupid? I still have a lot to learn … "
"No, you've done very well. Other than that, I've taught you everything I know … "At this point, the middle-aged man paused for a moment." But you should know that learning is not something that can be rushed. Even if you know all the techniques, you will need time to slowly accumulate them. If you want to convert them into combat power, you need to train yourself in blood and fire. "
"But, Master …" Ro Li lowered his head. He knew his master very well. He might seem calm and collected, but once he made up his mind, he would never change his mind. However, Ro Li still wanted to struggle. He wanted to stay by his master's side and learn more.
"Have you forgotten your father's hatred? Have you forgotten how helpless you were when your most important friend was in trouble? More importantly, when you came here to learn, I told you that if you want me to teach you, you'll have to shoulder the fate that you'll have to face in the future. You can't go against my words, "the middle-aged man said word by word.
"Master, Ro Li will never forget that. But you still haven't told me what kind of fate I'll have to face. " The middle-aged man's words reminded Ro Li of the past. His father, Tang Ling, his sister …
"Now, your fate begins." As the middle-aged man spoke, he fished out an animal pelt scroll from his sleeve and placed it in Ro Li's hand.
Puzzled, Ro Li opened it. There was only one line on it: Send Ro Li to X Valley in three months.
Below this line of words, there were two blood-red words — Assemble!
Ro Li read the animal pelt scroll a few times, but he could not figure out what it had to do with his fate. What kind of place was X Valley?
However, the middle-aged man did not seem to like explaining. He looked at Ro Li and said, "Pack your luggage. Your senior brother will escort you there."
"Senior brother? I have a senior brother? "Ro Li was even more confused. He had never seen any senior brother while he was cultivating here.
The middle-aged man glanced at Ro Li before he turned around and left. The moment he turned around, his eyes that were as calm as an abyss showed a trace of complicated reluctance.
At the same time, a figure in a black mantle came from the bottom of the hill. Is this my senior brother?
Ro Li would never know that he had crossed paths with this senior brother a long time ago. Back during the Dark Cliff Challenge in Darkness Port, this senior brother was in the same room as Boss Huang and Gu Dao.
In this era, there was more than one Hand of Turmoil who was plotting against the world.
