"Elder Medicine, this must be a disciple of Spiritual Medicine Peak." He Yiming said in a deep voice, "She kidnapped Lixun and wanted to obtain the Innate Golden Core, but I killed her."
The Medicine Man nodded. His expression was one of regret, anger, and hatred, but there was also a hint of loneliness.
"Elder He, this is all because I didn't manage it well enough, which is why such a regrettable thing happened." The Medicine Man sighed. "I'm sorry to have frightened Miss Yuan."
Yuan Lixun quickly walked out from behind He Yiming and bowed deeply at the Medicine Man. "Elder Medicine, this has nothing to do with you. It's all that woman's fault for being greedy."
The Medicine Man smiled bitterly. "She's a disciple of Spiritual Medicine Peak, and this happened on Spiritual Medicine Peak, so how can it have nothing to do with me?" He lowered his head to look at the corpse in front of him and said slowly, "The refinement of the Innate Golden Core is indeed a huge matter in the sect. However, after the Golden Core is refined, these disciples who have cultivated their whole lives to reach the tenth level of inner force won't be able to enjoy it at all. It's only natural that they're upset. "
He Yiming raised his eyebrows, and his disgust toward Gu Lianying faded a little.
He had once reached the tenth level of inner force, and he clearly remembered how helpless he felt when he reached the peak of the tenth level of inner force, only to realize that he could not advance any further. If his grandfather and eldest uncle had not opened the secret chamber in his house and let him know how to advance to the Innate Stage, only God knew if he would have gone mad because of it.
To be honest, Gu Lianying was just a pitiful person who wanted to obtain the Golden Core and advance to the Innate Stage.
Of course, after learning his lesson from the Red-scarf Bandits and Fan Haoyue, He Yiming would never show mercy to those who wanted to harm him.
For example, just now, as soon as he saw the Medicine Man show any signs of appearing, he immediately killed Gu Lianying without hesitation.
He was as fast as lightning, and it was obvious that he did not want to give the Medicine Man a chance to plead for mercy.
However, he didn't expect that the Medicine Man wouldn't appear to plead for leniency.
Although Gu Lianying was also a martial arts talent, how could she be compared to He Yiming? In order to obtain the Golden Dan of the Xiantian Realm, he did not hesitate to kidnap Yuan Lixun. If something irreconcilable happened and He Yiming was forced to leave Hengshan, then even the Medicine Daoist wouldn't be able to bear the consequences, let alone her.
Even if He Yiming didn't do anything, the Medicine Man wouldn't have spared her life.
However, after this incident, the Medicine Man was able to sense the hidden intentions of the Houtian tenth stage inner strength experts.
It was impossible to say that the other outstanding disciples did not have similar thoughts.
Before coming out, the Medicine Man had already made the decision to discuss with Yu Jinglei and Lian Yi how to deal with this matter.
He Yiming reached out and grabbed Yuan Lixun's hand without hesitation. He suddenly said, "Medicine Elder, I've heard that generations of Spirit Medicine Peak have accumulated some Golden Dan of Energy and Golden Dan of the Limit. Is that true?"
The Medicine Man nodded reflexively. These two types of Golden Dan were indeed priceless treasures in the great clans of the northwestern countries. However, in the remote mountains, which were far from the bustling world, very few people would take these two types of pills.
That was because the cultivation environment here was many times better than the outside world. Most people relied on their own efforts to cultivate. Only if they met a rare cultivation genius would the sect give them a Golden Dan to help them reach the peak of the tenth stage of inner strength as soon as possible so that they could break through to the Xiantian Realm.
It had been a hundred years since such a genius had appeared in Hengshan, so the number of Golden Dan of the two types was not small.
He Yiming tightened his grip on Yuan Lixun's hand and said seriously, "Medicine Elder, I'd like to ask for a few Golden Dan of Energy and Golden Dan of Limit. Is that okay?"
The Medicine Man glanced at Yuan Lixun and immediately agreed. "That's a small matter. No problem."
He Yiming thought to himself. These two types of Golden Dan were priceless treasures in the outside world, but in the Medicine Man's mouth, they were small matters. The Hengshan lineage, which had three thousand years of history, had a heritage that even the great clans with a thousand years of history could only dream of.
The Medicine Man hesitated for a moment, then said, "Elder He, today's matter is indeed regrettable. I have a pill formula here. I'll give it to Miss Yuan as an apology."
As he spoke, he took out a yellowed piece of paper and flicked it lightly. It flew over as if an invisible hand was holding it.
Yuan Lixun caught it with a baffled look on her face. She didn't understand why the Medicine Man would suddenly give her the pill formula.
He Yiming knew that the Medicine Man was giving Yuan Lixun a gift to calm her nerves, but he was actually giving the pill formula to him as an apology.
He sighed inwardly. This was the benefit of being powerful. If he was not an Innate Stage expert but merely He Wude's grandson, the Medicine Man would not have been so considerate.
He Yiming could not help but be stunned when he glanced at the pill formula. There were more than fifty types of medicinal herbs recorded in the formula.
Most of these herbs were extraordinarily precious. Some of them were not even found in Spirit Medicine Peak's herb garden.
Now, He Yiming was no longer the ignorant kid who had just joined the Spiritual Medicine Peak. At this moment, when he saw the herbs on the prescription, he knew that it must be extremely precious.
"Elder Medicine, what kind of pill is this?" He Yiming asked curiously.
The Medicine Man had been carefully observing He Yiming's expression. He was only relieved at this moment because he knew He Yiming did not hold a grudge against Spirit Medicine Peak because of what happened.
Of course, this was because Yuan Lixun was not hurt. If she was, He Yiming would not have let the matter rest.
The Medicine Man cleared his throat and said, "This is a pill formula that has been passed down since ancient times. I came across it by chance when I was young, and I also obtained a pill that was successfully refined at the same time."
He Yiming was very surprised. This was the first time he'd ever felt something like this from the Medicine Man.
He glanced at the pill formula in Yuan Lixun's hand again and was shocked. It turned out that someone had collected all the herbs in the formula and refined it successfully.
He instinctively asked, "Where's the pill?"
The Medicine Daoist chuckled awkwardly and said, "I ate it." He let out a long sigh and said, "Back then, I obtained this pill formula and pill by chance. As soon as I saw so many precious herbs, many of which could increase inner strength, I couldn't help but eat them. "
He Yiming immediately understood that the Medicine Man had not entered the Innate Stage when he obtained the formula.
He Yiming looked at the Medicine Man seriously and asked, "What's the effect of this pill? Is it more precious than the Innate Golden Pill? "
"For martial artists like us, this pill is far from being comparable to the Innate Golden Pill. However … "The Medicine Man paused and smiled bitterly before he continued," I's appearance hasn't changed for more than a hundred years after he consumed the pill. "
He Yiming and Yuan Lixun exclaimed at the same time. They finally understood what the pill formula in their hands was.
The Face Retaining Pill — so this was the legendary Face Retaining Pill that could preserve one's youth forever.
Although this kind of Face Retaining Pill could only make a person's appearance reach eternal youth, it was already a rare peerless treasure.
However, for a Innate Stage master like the Medicine Man, he didn't care about his youthful appearance at all.
Yuan Lixun gently tugged on He Yiming's sleeve and said with surprise and joy, "Young Master."
Although she didn't say anything else, even an idiot would know what she was thinking just by looking at the expression on her face.
When one cultivated martial arts to the extreme, it could slow down one's aging, but compared to the legendary Face Retaining Pill, the difference was like heaven and earth.
He Yiming might've only been amazed and didn't care too much about it, but Yuan Lixun was completely different. This was the first time she couldn't hold herself back in front of He Yiming and showed a desperate desire for something.
He Yiming reached out and took the pill formula. Although he sighed inwardly when he saw the all-encompassing list of precious medicinal ingredients, he didn't hesitate to say, "Lixun, don't worry. I'll definitely refine the Face Retaining Pill for you."
Yuan Lixun nodded excitedly and looked at the Medicine Man with eyes full of gratitude.
The Medicine Man nodded slightly. After seeing He Yiming's attitude towards Yuan Lixun, he understood how important this little girl was to He Yiming. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken out such a precious gift so easily.
The Face Retaining Pill formula was useless to him, but it was an ancient formula that had been lost for thousands of years. If it wasn't for a coincidence, it wouldn't have seen the light of day again.
The sound of hurried running was suddenly heard. In just a short while, He Wude arrived with Bei Youhui.
He looked around and said in surprise, "Master, you're here too."
The Medicine Man grunted in response as his sharp gaze landed on Bei Youhui.
The girl's face turned ashen when she saw the Medicine Man, and when she saw Gu Lianying lying motionlessly on the ground, her face drained of all color.
The Medicine Man sighed and said, "Do you know your crime?"
Bei Youhui's lips trembled a few times before she finally said, "Ancestor, you refined two Innate Golden Pills, but our Spiritual Medicine Peak didn't get a single one in the end. That's not fair."
The Medicine Man slowly shook his head and said, "Then, is it fair to give the two of you the Golden Pills?"
Bei Youhui was stunned. She was instantly tongue-tied and speechless. As thick-skinned as she was, she could not say anything at this moment.
"You didn't hesitate to lay your hands on your fellow disciples for the sake of your selfish desires …" The Medicine Man's face was stern without being angry. "You should know what you should do."
Bei Youhui trembled and suddenly cried out, "Ancestor, please spare my life. I was deceived, and I won't do it again."
The Medicine Man looked coldly at her and said, "Why do you have to do this?"
With a wave of his sleeve, Bei Youhui's cries came to an abrupt stop. She then weakly lay down, but her eyes were still wide open, as if she still had an endless longing for life.
He Yiming slowly nodded. These two women were indeed courting death. Even if the Medicine Man hadn't killed them, He Yiming wouldn't have shown them any mercy. Moreover, the Medicine Man did things cleanly without any hesitation. As soon as his disciples made a big mistake, they would be punished accordingly.
Only in this way could the entire Spiritual Medicine Peak be managed in an orderly manner.
Suddenly, a sharp whistle was heard from afar. Due to the great distance, the sound was extremely faint by the time it reached them. If it were not for the fact that everyone was at the foot of the mountain, they might not have heard it.
He Yiming and the others looked up and saw a fiery red arrow of light shooting straight into the sky from afar. It splashed a dazzling light in the air like a flame. It was exceptionally bright and eye-catching in the evening sky.
The Medicine Man and He Wude's expressions changed at the same time. The Medicine Man said, "Wu Dao, call Wu Zhang over to deal with the aftermath. Elder He, please come with me. "
With that, he exerted force on his legs and shot out as if he was flying.
He Yiming did not understand what had happened, but he knew that the flame was definitely related to Mount Heng when he saw the Medicine Man's reaction. Moreover, it was definitely not a small matter.
He nodded slightly at Yuan Lixun and gave her a comforting smile. Then, his figure flashed, and he immediately chased after the Medicine Man.
The Medicine Man used all his strength to rush in the direction of the flame. Suddenly, he heard someone ask softly beside him, "Elder Medicine, who was the one who set off the flame?"
He turned around in surprise and saw He Yiming with his hands behind his back, following closely behind him as if he was taking a leisurely stroll. The Medicine Man immediately knew that he was not using his full strength. He looked up and saw the rectangular bag on Ou Yangming's back. He could not help but be shocked. 'What a powerful light-body technique!'
The Medicine Man slowed down slightly and said hurriedly, "Elder He, that flame is a distress signal that only Elder Hengshan has. Elder Yu Xichen must've encountered an enemy. Please go ahead and help him. "
He Yiming's heart skipped a beat. He did not expect that Elder Yu, whom he had yet to meet, would encounter an enemy that he could not handle when they were so close to Mount Heng. He acknowledged the Medicine Man's words and suddenly sped up. Like a gust of wind, he disappeared into the distance in an instant, leaving the Medicine Man far behind.
In terms of speed, He Yiming was indeed the fastest in Mount Heng. Even the Supreme Elder, Yu Jinglei, who had reached the One-Line-Sky level, had to admit defeat.
When He Yiming used all his strength, he left a straight line in the forest formed by countless afterimages. He was so fast that it took only a moment for him to reach the flame.
His ears trembled slightly, and he immediately heard the sound of weapons clashing. He also heard the sound of heavy breathing. Just by hearing the sound, he knew that someone must've been injured, and the injury was not light.
His body moved like lightning, and he exerted another layer of strength under his feet. He suddenly floated out from behind a few large trees and arrived outside the battlefield under the flame.
At that moment, there was a large open space in the forest. There were originally several towering trees on this open space, as well as some shrubs and other things. However, they had been razed to the ground in the fight between the Connate masters.
His gaze shifted, and he saw the few people who were fighting.
In this open space, there were three men in black robes who were besieging a man in a blue robe.
When He Yiming's gaze fell on the faces of the three men in black, he could not help but be slightly startled. These three men were obviously different from the rest. They had high noses and deep eyes, and they were tall and big. Even their eyes were not pure black.
As for the man who was struggling to hold on in the middle, his face bore some resemblance to Yu Jinglei. However, he was in a very bad situation at the moment. Under the siege of the three men, he was already in dire straits, and it seemed that he would die at any time.
He Yiming did not dare to be negligent. Almost at the same time when he saw these people, the muscles on his shoulder trembled slightly, and the large glaive suddenly flew into the air.
He stretched out his hand and immediately grasped the large glaive firmly in his hand, and completed the combination in an instant. With a thunderous roar, the large glaive turned into a golden light, and unreasonably slashed towards the three men in black.
The four men in the battle were all masters of the Connate realm. If it was a one-on-one, He Yiming was absolutely fearless. However, if it was a one-on-three, he had no confidence at all. However, since it had come to this point, even if he was unwilling, he could only bite the bullet and face the difficulties.
Fortunately, he had the glaive in his hand, which gave him endless courage for no reason.
When the glaive was slashed out, it was a bit like a whirlwind. After the battle with Yu Jinglei and the epiphany of the Panorama of Mountains and Rivers, his glaive skills had become more and more powerful and incredible.
The three men seemed to have a tacit understanding. When they saw He Yiming attack, one of them immediately gave up the attack, took a step back, and turned around.
He was holding a huge two-handed broadsword in his hand. Although the broadsword was not as exaggerated as the glaive, it was still considered a heavy weapon.
However, just as the man raised the broadsword, he felt the unparalleled power of the glaive, which was far beyond the limit of what he could bear.
His eyes suddenly widened, and he opened his mouth, hurriedly shouting a series of words that He Yiming could not understand at all.
However, He Yiming did not care at all what he wanted to say, and the glaive was still mercilessly slashing down.
"Clang …"
A loud sound of metal clashing rang out. That person's body trembled, and he immediately lost his balance. Both of his feet stomped on the ground, and he retreated as if he was flying. In his hand, the well-tempered two-handed broadsword had a crack the size of a grain of rice.
He Yiming's glaive was not reduced in power, and it continued to slash at the second man without any pause.
The second black-robed man turned around, and he also held a broadsword in his hand. When the glaive and the sword clashed, he could not help but stagger backward like the first man.
Under the brute force of the glaive, although he was shocked and furious, he had no choice but to temporarily avoid the glaive.
The glaive continued to slash, and the glaive was like the rising tide of a great river. Each wave was higher than the previous one, and there was no sign of exhaustion.
The third black-robed man sighed. The person in front of him was already seriously injured, and if they were given a little more time, they would definitely be able to kill him here.
However, in the face of the extremely sharp and murderous Saber Qi coming from behind, he did not dare to hesitate in the slightest.
His body turned beautifully, and his movements were much more agile than his two companions. The sword in his hand was even more slender and flexible.
Under the control of his vital energy, the flexible sword was like a venomous snake, and it wanted to avoid the glaive and stab He Yiming.
However, before he could stab with his sword, the glaive trembled slightly, and at an extremely mysterious angle, collided with the tip of his sword.
The man snorted angrily, and flew backward. The web between his thumb and forefinger was in great pain, and he almost could not hold it.
He Yiming withdrew his glaive, and glared angrily. Under the glaive, the three Innate Experts retreated.
The man behind him watched this scene with his mouth agape, and his heart was filled with excitement.
The power of the glaive was actually so fierce …
PS: Last night, the poor White Crane was dragged to play cards by the even more vulgar, crafty 72 and the Enchantress. They played Dou Dizhu.
White Crane, who did not know how to play cards at all, was completely defeated by them …
Sigh, let's not talk about anything else. My original plan to write my story was disrupted by this group of lewd fellows. Fortunately, the afternoon was free time, so White Crane was able to post on time.
However, I can't guarantee tomorrow. If everything goes well, I can post it earlier. Otherwise, I'll have to wait until I get home.
In addition, White Crane will be taking a 5 pm flight back to Ningbo tomorrow, and it will probably be around 10 pm when he reaches Ningbo. Therefore, I won't be able to join the Q group tomorrow. Friends who know, please pass on this message in the group. Many thanks!!!
From the day after tomorrow, White Crane should be back to normal. However, these few days were really too tiring, so I'll update 10,000 the day after tomorrow, and 10,000 the day after tomorrow.
