Unknowingly, two full days had passed since they entered the Palace of Ancient Medicine.
On top of a rugged mountain range, Chu Chen's expression was indifferent. His footsteps were extremely fast as he ran on the ground, almost turning into a faint gray shadow.
In front of him, a student wearing the blue and white uniform of the Heavenly Court was madly fleeing in a sorry state. The robes of the Heavenly Court's disciple had become tattered, and there were even traces of fire in some places.
His hair was disheveled, and his expression was terrified. As he madly fled, he would occasionally look behind him. Every time he saw the unhurried gray figure behind him, his face would become even paler.
Zheng Xueyang was a rather famous disciple in the Palace of Medicine. Once his name was mentioned, almost everyone in the Heavenly Court would know him. In fact, his strength was not considered top-notch. He was only at the Illusory Stream Realm, and could only be considered above average in the Heavenly Court, where geniuses were everywhere.
The most important reason why his reputation was so great was that in the process of exploring the Primordial Ruins, Zheng Xueyang unintentionally obtained a shocking fortune … The peerless Divine Ability left behind by the legendary "Shadowless God of War" of the Primordial Era, the remnant chapter of the Floating Light Passing Shadow movement technique, the Unique Wave Treading Steps!
This was an extremely superior movement technique in the legends. When cultivated to the extreme, it was said that one would have the fastest speed in the world. In terms of the level of the movement technique, it was even comparable to the legendary "Cloudlight Moon Movement Technique" of Consort Yun Xiao.
Although it was only a remnant, it had already far surpassed the speed of ordinary cultivation techniques.
In the past, in every adventure, trial, and battle, with the unparalleled speed of the "Unique Wave-treading Steps", Zheng Xueyang could be said to have never failed. Even if he encountered a super expert of the Spirit Stream Realm like Huangfu Yin or Zhao Yeyuan, even if he could not defeat them, he could still escape.
Therefore, Zheng Xueyang was also known as the "Little Shadowless" of the Heavenly Court. It was said that after a certain elder of the Heavenly Court heard of his name, he even planned to explore some ancient ruins, hoping to find the other remnant parts of the "Flickering Light Shadow Movement Technique" so that he could truly comprehend and study it.
It was such a peerless genius, but at this moment, he was like a stray dog, living in fear.
Eight hours ago, he had encountered a small team from the Heavenly Court and wanted to sneak attack them to steal their medicine tablets. Zheng Xueyang's nightmare had begun …
A grey-clothed youth had appeared behind him like a mantis stalking a cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!
He still couldn't understand how that grey-robed, calm-looking fellow, who was only at the peak of the Heavenly Spring Stage, could beat him up like a dog.
What was even worse was that he couldn't beat them, so he chose to escape, but he couldn't escape at all.
How was he able to keep up with his speed?
Zheng Xueyang, he could not understand it even if he broke his scalp!
He didn't have the slightest doubt about the marvelousness of the Wave-like Unrivaled Steps technique. The characteristics of this technique were not only well-known in the entire cultivation world, even the martial artists in the secular world had heard of this technique's great name.
The footwork used by that grey-clothed youth did not seem to be any kind of technique. It was plain and ordinary, but he was able to follow behind him like a shadow, and he could not shake him off even if he died!!
What was worse was that the other party was following behind him at a neither fast nor slow pace. Rather than saying that he was chasing him, he seemed to be studying his ancient footwork technique, as if he wanted to learn something.
But to Zheng Xueyang, who had been locked on for eight hours, he even had the thought of dying.
He could not beat him, and he could not escape. Zheng Xueyang even regretted participating in this Intermediate Level Pharmacist Competition, letting himself meet such a nightmarish opponent.
In order to avoid his pursuit, Zheng Xueyang clenched his teeth and chose to escape into the swamp. In the end, his speed was obviously affected, and the other party was still following behind him like he was taking a stroll.
Zheng Xueyang, who was anxious and panicked, finally fell into the swamp. His body was covered in mud, and he struggled to move forward. But after moving forward for a short distance, he fell into the mud again, and his tears almost flowed out.
The grey-clothed youth calmly stopped beside him. "Do you still want to escape?"
Zheng Xueyang shook his head forcefully.
"Then give me the medicine tablet." The grey-clothed youth stretched out his hand, as if it was a matter of course.
Zheng Xueyang wanted to shake his head, but when he thought of his nightmarish experience, he steeled his heart and took out an ancient medicine tablet that was hot from holding it, and threw it to the grey-clothed youth.
Swish!
Dense spiritual light, the sparkling and translucent medicine tablet drew a beautiful arc in the air, and Chu Chen caught it in his hand.
The elixir on the tablet looked like a small winding silver dragon. Under the illumination of the sky, it radiated a brilliant silver light.
"Silver Dragon Spirit Whiskers, number five. My luck is not bad, to be able to obtain such a rare medicine tablet in one go."
Chu Chen's eyes revealed a satisfied expression. His hand gently rubbed the medicine tablet for a moment, and he nodded slightly. "Very good, the second medicine tablet is in my hands. Also, your Unique Wave Treading Steps is worthy of being called an ancient footwork technique. There are many exquisite aspects. I have basically learned most of them in these few hours. Many thanks."
"…"
Zheng Xueyang's eyes widened, and he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. It turned out that he had chased him for eight hours, mainly to study his footwork.
After forcing him into a desperate situation, he had indeed gambled his old life!
He felt like he was about to vomit blood. This guy … the reason why this guy chased him for two days and two nights, was actually to comprehend his Rippling Waves!!
"Goodbye." Chu Chen said indifferently.
Zheng Xueyang weakly waved his hand. He didn't dare to say anything, but in his heart, he was cursing. I have eight lifetimes of bloody bad luck to meet a monster like you. Goodbye? Who wants to see you again? Never again!
Chu Chen kept the medicine tablet that represented the Silver Dragon Spirit Whisker into his storage ring. His body flashed, and he quickly transformed into a grey shadow. After flying for an hour, he arrived at the other side of this large swamp.
On top of a dry rock, Tang Rou and Shen Hou were excitedly starting a bonfire.
In front of them, a skinned and washed Ancient Blood Antelope was skewered on a hard jade bamboo. As Shen Hou flipped the bamboo, golden jade-like grease continuously dripped down.
As the fire roasted the Ancient Blood Antelope, its entire body had turned into a tempting golden color. A meaty aroma that contained the scent of a strange elixir wafted out, making one's mouth water.
This Ancient Blood Antelope was a spirit beast that lived in the ruins of the Palace of Ancient Medicine. Because it had been nourished by the astonishing medicinal aura of the ancient medicines in the ruins for many years, its meat was delicious and contained rich medicinal properties.
