Under the night sky, a black figure had appeared at the top of the mountain without anyone noticing. The person was wearing a black cloak and his entire body was shrouded under the cloak. It was as if he could not be seen.
"Who are you?"
Xu Qianqian looked at the black figure and screamed in fright. Her voice was trembling slightly as she asked.
"Who am I?"
A hoarse voice came from under the black figure. "Hehe, you still don't know who I am?"
As he spoke, he slowly took off his hood, revealing an old and ugly face. A pair of cold and treacherous eyes stared silently at Xu Qianqian on the top of the mountain.
"You …"
Xu Qianqian's eyes widened. Under the moonlight, although the person's appearance was a little blurry, she recognized him immediately. Who else could it be other than the miracle doctor who had recommended her to Changbai Mountain to find medicine?
"Why are you here?"
Xu Qianqian had a bad feeling. Why would the old miracle doctor appear on the top of the mountain in the middle of the night? It was obviously not normal.
When she had come out to find medicine, the miracle doctor had said that he was old and could not walk anymore. Hence, he had given her a map and told her to find the Blood Lingzhi Mushroom herself. When she returned, she could just give him the medicinal ingredients.
But now, the old miracle doctor had appeared on the top of the mountain. It was obviously different from what he had said.
"Of course I am waiting for you."
The black figure laughed sinisterly and released a strange aura from his body.
"What is your motive?"
Xu Qianqian took a deep breath and asked calmly.
"You still don't understand?"
The black figure laughed sinisterly and said in a hoarse voice, "Of course I want to kill you and nourish the Blood Lingzhi Mushroom with your blood."
"What do you mean?"
Xu Qianqian gasped. So it was all a conspiracy. The miracle doctor had tricked her to Changbai Mountain to kill her.
But why did he have to trick her to Changbai Mountain to kill her? Wasn't that unnecessary?
"The Blood Lingzhi Mushroom is a sacred medicine. Do you think you can pick it so easily? Only by completing the last step of nourishing the Blood Lingzhi Mushroom can you take it away. "
The black figure snorted coldly and the Yin aura around him intensified.
"Nourish the Blood Lingzhi Mushroom?"
Xu Qianqian looked at the black figure in confusion.
"I'll let you be a ghost. Before picking the Blood Lingzhi Mushroom, it must be watered with the blood of a virgin's ventricle. It can only be picked after a day. Otherwise, the Blood Lingzhi Mushroom will wither. Furthermore, the ventricular blood must not leave the body for more than an hour. Otherwise, it won't work. "
The black shadow laughed lewdly and said, "Now do you know why I tricked you to Changbai Mountain? You should feel honored to complete the final feeding of a sacred herb. "
"Right now, I only want to know if that Blood Lingzhi Mushroom can cure my father's illness."
Xu Qianqian bit her lips and stared coldly at the black shadow.
"No, I was just lying to you. How could you believe me?"
The black figure laughed coldly. This woman was really stupid, she still believed in that kind of thing. What kind of item was the Blood Lingzhi Mushroom? To use it to treat a mortal was a reckless waste of resources.
"You …"
Xu Qianqian's eyes flashed with despair. Sure enough, it was all fake. There had never been any hope.
"Do you understand now? Then go to hell. "
The black shadow laughed sinisterly. Just as he was about to capture Xu Qianqian and feed her to the Blood Lingzhi Mushroom, a sudden voice rang out in the night sky.
"I still have a question. Where is the Blood Lingzhi Mushroom?"
There was no one around. The voice seemed to have appeared out of thin air.
"Of course it's at … Who is it?"
The black shadow had only spoken halfway when he suddenly realized that something was wrong. There were clearly only two people on the mountain top. When did a third voice appear?
He looked around and realized that there was no one.
"Behind you."
That strange voice rang out again. A slender hand reached out from behind and patted the black shadow's shoulder, as if telling him — I'm behind you.
The black shadow's expression changed as if he had been struck by lightning. In a flash, he moved seven to eight meters away and looked at his original position in shock.
There was a person standing there. To be precise, it was a youth. At this moment, he had his hands behind his back and was looking at him calmly.
When did he appear? He actually did not notice him at all.
The black shadow was extremely shocked. Why was that youth like a ghost?
"Who are you?" The black shadow asked cautiously.
"You seem to have not answered my question," Mo Wen raised his eyebrows and said.
"Who exactly are you? I advise you not to be a busybody. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
The black shadow shouted sternly. Although the youth's appearance was strange, he was so young and might not have much ability. Perhaps he was just bluffing. Thinking of this, he felt a lot more at ease.
Xu Qianqian, who was not far away, heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Mo Wen appear. Although that guy was despicable, he gave her a sense of security.
"Looks like you are not going to answer my question voluntarily."
Mo Wen laughed coldly. The next moment, his figure flashed like a bolt of lightning, traversing more than ten meters away. Suddenly, he appeared in front of the black shadow and grabbed his shoulder with one hand.
The black shadow's pupils constricted. He was shocked and prepared to retreat. However, he realized that the speed was too fast and too violent. He couldn't dodge it at all.
Since he couldn't dodge it, he naturally couldn't just sit and wait for death. Instantly, he used all his strength to strike out a palm.
"Flaming Palm."
A streak of crimson flame faintly appeared on the palm of the black shadow. That withered hand was like a piece of burning red iron. When the palm struck out, the heat wave rolled.
"Huh!"
Mo Wen raised his eyebrows. This old man was actually an ancient martial art practitioner who practiced the Fire Techniques. Moreover, his attainments in the Fire Techniques were extraordinary. That Flaming Palm was also a ranked martial art. Back then, even the clan leader of the Zhou Clan Village didn't have a high-ranked martial art.
From this, it could be seen that this old man dressed in black in front of him should have some background.
He curled his lips and also struck out a palm. A streak of golden light spread out with his palm as the center. It was like a sun, emitting thousands of rays of light. The scorching hot aura swept out wildly.
The two palms collided. Under the night sky, the mountaintop lit up for a moment. It was as if it had become daytime. However, in the blink of an eye, it returned to darkness.
Mo Wen stood quietly on the spot. His figure was tall and straight. The night wind blew, blowing his clothes and hair. He was like an ancient tree, unmoving like a mountain.
That black shadow was thrown out like a kite with a broken string. After floating in the air for a distance, he crashed onto the ground.
"You have the Cultivation of the Qi Nucleation realm?"
The black shadow struggled for a while before climbing up from the ground. He looked at Mo Wen in disbelief. How could a youth have the Cultivation of the Qi Nucleation realm? What kind of monstrous talent did he have to meet such a person?
If it wasn't a person in the Qi Nucleation realm, it would be impossible to injure him with one move. Only an ancient martial art practitioner in the Qi Nucleation realm would have such ability.
He looked at his arm. At this moment, his entire sleeve had already turned into ashes. His hand was like a cooked shrimp, bright red. The degree of burn on his arm had reached 100%.
He was a person who practiced the Fire Techniques. Usually, it was only him who burned others. How could he let others burn?
So, he could be sure that the youth also practiced the Fire Techniques. Moreover, his realm was far above his. However, such a powerful Fire Techniques expert, and so young, there weren't many people in the entire ancient martial arts world. So, who was that youth?
Mo Wen shrugged his shoulders and declined to comment. The old man in front of him had a high Cultivation. He was in the later stage of the Sea of Qi realm. However, in front of him, this realm was naturally not worth mentioning.
Xu Qianqian covered her mouth with her small hands. Her eyes were wide open. She looked at Mo Wen and the old man in black in shock. She had actually seen the two of them emit flames just now. What exactly was going on?
Martial arts expert? Superman? Immortal? Naruto? Invincible East? …
Some absurd and chaotic thoughts surged into Xu Qianqian's small head. She couldn't react for a moment.
"Now, you should answer my question, right?" Mo Wen said calmly as he flicked the dust off his sleeves.
"Your Excellency, I am from the Medicine Manor. Can you give the Medicine Manor some face? I will be eternally grateful in the future."
The black shadow wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and struggled to get up to bow.
The Blood Lingzhi Mushroom was a sacred medicine that he had discovered 15 years ago. At that time, the Blood Lingzhi Mushroom had not matured yet, so he couldn't pluck it. He had waited for 15 years and had finally waited for the Blood Lingzhi Mushroom to mature. However, he didn't expect that someone would appear out of nowhere and snatch the sacred medicine from him.
From the youth's words, he naturally knew that he was interested in the Blood Lingzhi Mushroom. However, he couldn't just let the Blood Lingzhi Mushroom go.
Hence, he brought up his sect, hoping to intimidate the youth. He was very confident in his own sect. In the entire ancient martial arts world, there were not many people who dared not give the Medicine Manor face.
"Medicine Manor?"
Mo Wen raised his eyebrows and said plainly, "What's that? I've never heard of it. "
"You …"
The old man in black pointed at Mo Wen and was speechless for a while. The Medicine Manor was one of the top ten sects in the ancient martial arts world. Moreover, it had always been listed as a strong sect among the top ten sects. Regardless of heritage or ability, it was far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
As a person of the ancient martial arts world, the youth had actually said that he didn't know the Medicine Manor. If that wasn't purposely teasing him, then what was the meaning of that? Moreover, he had even teased the Medicine Manor. He was simply extremely arrogant.
"Your Excellency, if you are willing to give up on the Blood Lingzhi Mushroom, I am willing to return to the Medicine Manor to request for three bottles of pills that can increase your Cultivation. Who knows, it might even allow your Cultivation to advance further. As for the Blood Lingzhi Mushroom, Your Excellency doesn't know how to concoct pills. Even if you had it, it wouldn't be of much use. "
Since using the sect as a deterrent didn't work, the old man in black could only choose to tempt him. The pills of the Medicine Manor were something that all the ancient martial arts practitioners of the various sects in the ancient martial arts world dreamed of. Many people begged for it but couldn't get it. He didn't believe that the youth wouldn't be tempted.
As for the Blood Lingzhi Mushroom, to someone who didn't know how to concoct pills, other than selling it, it didn't have any value at all.
"The people of your Medicine Manor know how to concoct pills?" Mo Wen raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.
The name of the Medicine Manor had the word "medicine" in it. It could be seen that they had a certain level of attainment in the use of medicinal herbs. In his previous world, he had seen many ancient martial arts sects that knew how to concoct pills. The Mo Clan was one of the most famous sects, producing miracle physicians in every generation.
However, in this world, it was the first time he had seen a sect that specialized in the study of medicine. Naturally, he was a little curious. (To be continued.)
