The Medicine Village was a bustling village near the God Burial Mountain Range. It was quite famous within a radius of a hundred miles.
The people in the village were all skilled in medicine and herbs. It was rumored that they were the descendants of the Godly Doctor Hua Tuo from thousands of years ago.
They had originally lived in seclusion deep in the mountains and lived a carefree life. However, several decades ago, a group of powerful cultivators who claimed to be from the Evil Emperor Pavilion broke into their village and massacred them. In the end, they even enslaved the Medicine Village and made it into tools for them to gather herbs and refine pills.
Every month, they would come to collect medicinal herbs and pills. If they didn't have enough medicinal herbs and pills, then they would capture a large number of villagers from the Medicine Village to beat and torture them.
Those who were lucky enough to survive to the end would be able to return alive.
Those who were unlucky and had weak resistance would never be able to return alive.
At the beginning, the villagers of the Medicine Village would still join forces to resist, but as time passed, they no longer had the courage and strength to resist.
This was because those who had any martial arts in the Medicine Village had either died in the struggle, or had fallen while fighting magical beasts on the way to the herbs.
The current Medicine Village was no longer as prosperous as it was at its peak. The only ones who could barely survive were the old, weak, and sick.
Ye Xuan sat on the sickbed as he listened to Xiao Fang tell him about the many stories of the Medicine Village. His heart was filled with deep emotions and complicated emotions.
Honestly speaking, he never thought that the Evil Emperor Pavilion would extend their claws to such a remote village.
"Tomorrow is the day when the people from the Evil Emperor Pavilion will come to collect the medicinal herbs and pills. They will definitely not allow any outsiders to enter the Medicine Village and know of its existence. If they find out that we hid outsiders in the Medicine Village, the entire village will be punished and implicated. When the time comes, just hide in the house and don't come out no matter what happens, do you understand? "
Xiao Fang blew the brewed medicine cold and handed it over to Ye Xuan as she spoke in a gentle voice.
"Don't worry, I won't implicate you!"
Hearing Xiao Fang's words, Ye Xuan lightly nodded.
Under the pursuit of the countless magical beasts and Titan Divine Tiger in the God Burial Mountain Range, Ye Xuan, who'd escaped, was severely injured. If it wasn't for Xiao Fang helping him and carrying him back to ask the Patriarch to help him heal, the heavily injured Ye Xuan might've become a delicacy in the mouths of the magical beasts deep in the mountains.
"En, it's good that you know. This is the soup that the Patriarch specially sent for you. He said that it can help you recover from your injuries as soon as possible. Drink it while it's hot! "
Xiao Fang fed the medicine to Ye Xuan's mouth and smiled.
"Thank you!"
Ye Xuan lightly nodded and didn't refuse. After thanking him, he lowered his head and started drinking.
His current condition could not be considered good. There were injuries all over his body, and his movements were rather restricted. He could only display twenty to thirty percent of his strength. He would probably need another half a month to fully recover from his injuries.
"Then rest well and recuperate. I should go up the mountain to pick herbs …"
After Xiao Fang finished feeding Ye Xuan the medicine, she closed the door and left in a hurry.
Lying on the bed, watching
As Xiao Fang left, Ye Xuan quietly frowned as he thought of the current situation of the Medicine Village.
Just as he was about to sit up and meditate to recover his strength, an intense argument came from outside the door.
"Patriarch, you …" The medicinal herbs and pills that our village has handed over this time are already lacking. Xiao Fang is kind-hearted and doesn't know the big picture. It's one thing for her to take out many precious medicinal herbs and pills to treat that brat, but why did you even take out so many spiritual medicines to treat that brat? "
"That's right, Patriarch!" You and Xiao Fang did this … How are we going to explain ourselves tomorrow? Those fellows will definitely not let this matter rest! "
"That's right, who knows how many people will be unlucky at that time! If this continues, our Medicine Village will really be finished! "
"Patriarch, the overall situation is more important. We can't lose our Medicine Village just to save an outsider!" Moreover, once those fellows find out that we hid outsiders in the village, they will die! Let's send him away, shall we?
"Just as Xiao Fang walked out of her room, she saw an old patriarch being surrounded by the villagers, causing her to quickly run over.
Just as Xiao Fang was about to speak, the white-haired, white-bearded old patriarch gently waved his hand and said in an ancient voice, "I know that under the oppression of the Evil Emperor Pavilion all these years, our Medicine Village has been living a difficult life, and many villagers have died at the hands of others … However, we cannot forget the rules set by our ancestors. The Old Ancestor said that the people of our Medicine Village must save the dying and help the injured. We must not leave them in the lurch … Have you forgotten all of this? "
"We haven't forgotten, and we don't dare to forget, but we can't even save ourselves right now." The villagers replied with pained expressions.
"It's precisely because we can't even save ourselves that we have to save others. Only then will there be hope …" Everyone has dispersed, let's go back! "
The old patriarch waved his hand and said meaningfully.
"This …"
"Let's go, let's go back …" The old patriarch is right, we can't forget the rules of our ancestors. It's still early, so let's organize a trip into the mountains to gather herbs and try to gather all the herbs we need to hand over tomorrow. "
"Alright, let's go up the mountain!"
Hearing the old patriarch's words, everyone hesitated for a moment before hurriedly leaving.
When the villagers had all left, Xiao Fang walked to the old patriarch's side and said apologetically, "Patriarch, I'm sorry, it's all because of me …"
"Xiao Fang, don't talk nonsense, you didn't do anything wrong! No one is wrong, don't blame yourself, don't blame anyone, understand? "
Before Xiao Fang could finish her words, she was interrupted by the old patriarch.
After pausing for a moment, the old patriarch continued, "Has that young man woken up?"
"He woke up!" Xiao Fang nodded lightly.
The old patriarch pondered for a moment, then took out a jade bottle and a sheepskin scroll from his sleeve and handed them to Xiao Fang. "Later on, feed him this Spirit Transforming Pill. When his injuries are better, you can take this' Shen Nong Scroll 'and sneak out of the village with him tomorrow morning!"
"Patriarch, you want us to leave the village? "Why?" Xiao Fang asked with a puzzled expression.
"This time, we'll take it.
There were too few medicinal herbs and pills, and most of them had been consumed by that young man. This time, it wouldn't be so easy to explain things to those fellows. "Furthermore, I've noticed that every time those fellows look at you, their gazes are very unfriendly. I'm afraid you guys will be in danger if you stay here, so …"
The old patriarch spoke in a deep voice.
"But …"
Xiao Fang wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the old patriarch. "No buts, this matter is settled. Tomorrow morning, you will take that young man and leave!"
With that, the old patriarch left in a hurry with his walking stick.
Ye Xuan, who was lying on the bed in his room, clearly heard the conversation outside. It was true …
He was moved by the old patriarch and the others and secretly decided to help their village tomorrow.
"Although my strength hasn't completely recovered, it shouldn't be difficult to solve the problem of the medicine village!"
As soon as Ye Xuan finished muttering, he sat cross-legged on the bed and began to cultivate and heal his injuries.
At dawn, Xiao Fang came to Ye Xuan's room and prepared to leave with him. However, Ye Xuan refused because his injuries were too severe to move. "My injuries are very severe right now, so I can't walk. Moreover, you don't want to leave either, right?"
In the end, Ye Xuan and Xiao Fang didn't leave the village.
The next morning, when the morning sun shone down from the sky, the peaceful and peaceful Medicine Village was broken by the ear-piercing sound of horse hooves and noise.
"Where is he?" "Get the f * ck out here to welcome me …"
"F * ck, is everyone in the village dead?" Hurry up and get the hell out! "
"You pieces of trash, don't tell me you're all dead?"
A group of uninvited guests with large sabers in their hands, dressed in battle armor, and riding fierce horses with a murderous look on their faces, charged into the Medicine Village.
There were about a hundred of them, and every single one of them had a baleful look on their faces. They looked extremely vicious and unfriendly, as if they were bandits who had descended the mountain to rob.
They were members of the Medicine God Hall, the overlord of Bright Sun City. Every single one of them possessed extraordinary strength!
The Medicine God Hall was founded by the Medicine God Han Feng. As the Medicine God Han Feng joined the Evil Emperor Pavilion, the Medicine God Hall also became a power of the Evil Emperor Pavilion.
However, following the Evil Emperor's announcement of the temporary dissolution of the Evil Emperor Pavilion and the fall of the Medicine God Han Feng, a cruel battle began within the Medicine God Hall. In the end, the Medicine God Han Feng's junior brother, the Medicine King Han Yu, won and became the new leader and hall master of the Medicine God Hall.
Perhaps it was because he wanted to increase his prestige, but the new hall master of the Medicine God Hall, the Medicine King Han Yu, actually came to the Medicine Village to collect the Medicine Village and the pills!
His long hair was tied up, and his face was pale and cold. He was wearing a set of medicine refining clothes, riding a war horse, and hugging a beauty in his arms. The two of them were flirting with each other intimately, completely ignoring the people around them.
The guards of the Medicine God Hall that the Medicine King Han Yu had brought with him were wreaking havoc in the village. The sound of doors being kicked, people being beaten, and children crying resounded throughout the Medicine Village.
The scene in front of him was like a devil entering the village.
Very quickly, the villagers of the Medicine Village came out of their rooms and gathered in the village's courtyard.
