Ye Qiu’s arrival spread throughout the village, especially in such a small place where even minor happenings are quickly talked about.
A stranger joined the Wang family, his strength unknown, but when it cos to killing, he does so without batting an eye.
This truly frightened many, causing so of Wang Hu’s little friends, under their parents’ instructions, to avoid playing with Wang Hu.
On the hill behind, Wang Hu had already beco skilled at finding so useful herbs. Nowadays, he understands the effects of various herbal combinations. Whether it’s for treating sprains or stopping bleeding and resolving bruises, he can locate the appropriate herbs.
Wang Hu’s several hesitations hinted to Ye Qiu that he had concerns.
"Say whatever you want to say," Ye Qiu remarked with a smile as he looked at the young lad full of mischief.
"Senior, I want to know if there are herbs that can heal the hidden injuries on my father’s body." After thinking for a long ti, Wang Hu finally spoke the words most important to him on this trip.
"You want to cure the hidden ailnts in your father’s body?" Ye Qiu asked.
Wang Hu nodded vigorously.
Regarding Wang Tiegang’s hidden afflictions, Ye Qiu had examined them. Instead of hidden wounds, it was more accurate to say toxins were residing within his body, slowly corroding his Dantian. In less than a year, Wang Tiegang might completely devolve from a martial artist to a cripple.
Due to these toxins, Wang Tiegang couldn’t train, often agonized by their effects.
Ye Qiu pondered for a while, "Using ordinary herbs to heal your father’s body would be rather difficult unless..."
"Unless what?" Wang Hu’s eyes lit up, showing his concern.
"Unless it’s a Spiritual dicine, sothing categorized as a heavenly treasure." Ye Qiu explained.
"Spiritual dicine?" Wang Hu didn’t understand what Spiritual dicine ant.
"Spiritual dicine often absorbs the essence of heaven and earth, grows in special places, and can revive the dead and regrow flesh and bones," Ye Qiu elaborated.
Wang Hu carefully mulled over Ye Qiu’s words about Spiritual dicine. To revive the dead, what a rare thing it must be; where could he find such a thing for his father?
"Do you truly wish to heal your father’s injuries?" Ye Qiu asked.
"Yes."
"Even if there’s a threat of death, you’re not afraid?" Ye Qiu added.
"I’m not afraid. As long as I can remove the pain from my father, even if it ans death, I’m not afraid," Wang Hu stated firmly.
Ye Qiu nodded; such filial piety was rare in one so young.
"Alright, then let’s take on that dangerous journey." Ye Qiu said.
Soon after, Ye Qiu lifted Wang Hu and shot into the sky, disappearing into the horizon.
After half a day, Ye Qiu’s figure stopped, and Wang Hu, still shocked and not recovered, realized it was incredibly fast. It was his first experience flying rapidly through the air.
"Senior, where are we?" Wang Hu asked, surveying the scene that felt abundant in spiritual energy, with taller, broader mountains.
"We are tens of thousands of miles outside Green Mountain Village, but the exact na of this place is unknown to . However, it’s likely there are Spiritual dicines here," Ye Qiu replied calmly.
"Tens of thousands of miles..." Wang Hu was montarily stunned. They flew tens of thousands of miles in such a short ti? It might take him decades to walk even if he attempted it.
The strength of Ye Qiu ascended another level in Wang Hu’s heart. Even he felt that no martial artist from the myth realm could match this speed, no wonder the village chief dared not challenge Ye Qiu.
"Senior, you said there are Spiritual dicines here?" When Wang Hu overca his shock from the distance, he rembered the ntion of Spiritual dicines and asked excitedly.
"Yes, however, acquiring Spiritual dicines is very dangerous; there are often terrifying entities guarding them. One careless move and you might lose your life. Do you still want to proceed?" Ye Qiu asked.
Now at the possible location of Spiritual dicine, it ant he was a step closer to healing his father’s injuries, but the threat was enormous.
"Senior, if you could bring close to the Spiritual dicine, I would be forever grateful, but obtaining Spiritual dicine is dangerous; I don’t wish to implicate you. Let go down and look for the Spiritual dicine myself, you can wait here," Wang Hu said seriously.
Ye Qiu studied Wang Hu for a while, eventually laughing, which confused Wang Hu.
"Senior, why are you laughing?" Wang Hu asked, puzzled.
"Do you know what the Spiritual dicine looks like?"
Wang Hu shook his head.
"Can you defeat the powerful guardians of the Spiritual dicine?"
Wang Hu thought for a mont and said uncertainly, "I’m afraid I cannot."
"If you can’t do either, how will you obtain the Spiritual dicine?" Ye Qiu questioned Wang Hu, leaving him scratching his head, realizing it wasn’t going to be easy.
Ye Qiu laughed aloud, "Let’s go, the sooner we get the Spiritual dicine, the sooner we can return to treat your father."
Without giving Wang Hu any chance to object, Ye Qiu landed with him in the mountain forest.
Once in the forest, only then did they realize that the trees were imnse and robust, each tens of ters tall; they were indeed towering trees.
Where the Spiritual dicine was located, Wang Hu wasn’t sure; he could only follow Ye Qiu.
After passing through a patch of woods, they arrived at a mountain gully, and Wang Hu was awestruck by the beauty before him.
A small pool of water shrouded in a faint mist, with several blooming flowers of vibrant colors, extrely beautiful.
But the most strikingly beautiful was a flower that grew from the stone wall.
"See that flower? That’s the Spiritual dicine we’re looking for," Ye Qiu pointed to the golden flower attracting Wang Hu’s attention.
"Ah!" Wang Hu rejoiced imdiately, was it this easy to find?
In fact, when Ye Qiu had arrived, his powerful spiritual power had already spread out; he was acutely aware of the areas dense with spiritual energy, which is why they quickly found the location of the Spiritual dicine.
"Finding Spiritual dicine isn’t difficult, it’s how to harvest it," Ye Qiu said slowly.
Upon hearing this, Wang Hu knew that harvesting Spiritual dicine would not be straightforward and thus volunteered, "Senior, let try. If sothing happens to you while harvesting Spiritual dicine, I’d feel guilty."
"You want to try? Can you handle the golden snake in the water?" Ye Qiu asked.
Snake? What snake?
Wang Hu was about to ask where the snake was when a golden snake erged and crawled up the stone wall, watching the two of them, hissing, seemingly warning them.
The aura exuded by the golden snake alone told Wang Hu he wasn’t its match, possibly bitten to death just approaching. However, he didn’t want to leave; this was the Spiritual dicine that could relieve the root pain of his father.
Ultimately, Wang Hu took a deep breath and exhaled, face firm, "Senior, I will harvest the Spiritual dicine."
"If you go, you’ll die," Ye Qiu said.
Wang Hu didn’t halt his steps, kept walking towards the pool, intending to cross it to reach the stone wall.
Watching the golden tail start to move, Wang Hu refused to retreat, prompting Ye Qiu to smile slightly, flash in an instant to shield Wang Hu, and calmly said, "Let handle it, you stay here and don’t move."
Wang Hu thought it over and stopped.
Ye Qiu began to walk across the water, moving towards the flower, as the golden snake did not attack.
Even when Ye Qiu plucked the golden flower, the snake remained still.
Upon returning to the shore, Wang Hu looked at the golden flower in Ye Qiu’s hand, then at the snake, feeling confused; didn’t Ye Qiu say harvesting Spiritual dicine was dangerous? Yet the scene just now didn’t align at all.
"Senior... is this... truly Spiritual dicine? Are we sure we weren’t mistaken?" Wang Hu felt a sense of disbelief, questioning whether it was a fake Spiritual dicine.
"It’s genuinely Spiritual dicine, not a mistake," Ye Qiu smiled.
"But you said harvesting Spiritual dicine was dangerous, lives on the line, yet you just..."
"Oh? You’re wondering why the golden snake didn’t attack , right?"
Wang Hu nodded.
"Harvesting Spiritual dicine sure is dangerous; of course, that’s true for you. If it’s harvesting... naturally, there’s no danger," Ye Qiu laughed heartily.
"..."
Wang Hu felt he surely encountered a false master and couldn’t help internally griping about Ye Qiu; the peril described earlier turned out to be for him, Wang Hu!
Senior, you really are boring!
Even Wang Hu, a boy with youthful eagerness, couldn’t resist scoffing at Ye Qiu’s antics.
