CHAPTER 40: CHAPTER 40: MEDICINE KING MOUNTAIN! GU GOD SECT!

"Hahaha... The hatred between me and the Xia family is irreconcilable. I intend to kill his entire family, but has he ever spared a thought about not peeling my skin, pulling my tendons, or dismantling my bones?"

Wei Chuan laughed heartily, but his ice-blue eyes remained cold and indifferent, and he said icily: "Old Mo, you are indeed as hypocritical as ever!"

"But I didn’t come here to listen to your nonsense!"

"I know Xia Mingyang recently acquired a Seventh Grade Spirit Medicine, the Flood Dragon Blood Vine. He specifically invited you to refine a Flood Dragon Blood Pill for him, so he can achieve Great Success in Blood Transformation! Solidifying his foundation! This way, he might truly have a chance to establish his Dao Foundation and attain the Celestial Human Realm in the future! He may even return to his mountain sect and gain the respect of the sect elders, seizing great power!"

"But I refuse to let him have his way!"

The ice-blue in Wei Chuan’s eyes grew even more intense, and he spoke with a chilling tone:

"Old Mo, I know that although you and Xia Mingyang aren’t from the same sect, you have some connections. Xia Mingyang hails from Medicine King Mountain, while you studied under Baicao Temple, the subordinate sect of Medicine King Mountain, and you two are quite familiar. But I advise you not to meddle in these murky waters this time; this matter is between him and me! If you turn and leave, I won’t trouble you, but if you insist on being stubborn, I’ll have to kill you!"

"Achieve Celestial Human? Medicine King Mountain?!"

Among the crowd, Gu Yuan listening to the conversation between the two, couldn’t help but be shocked!

Xia Mingyang is their Pavilion Master and Xia Xiuxue’s father; this much he knew.

But hearing Wei Chuan speak, it seemed he and Xia Mingyang had a deep blood feud, and Xia Mingyang invited Old Mo to have this Alchemy Master refine a Flood Dragon Blood Pill for him, so he could achieve Great Success in Blood Transformation and glimpse the path of the Celestial Human!

Moreover, Xia Mingyang turned out to be a disciple of Medicine King Mountain.

However, in Gu Yuan’s eyes, Pavilion Master Xia Mingyang was already quite a mysterious and important figure.

Yet according to Wei Chuan, Xia Mingyang seemed to be just an unremarked disciple at Medicine King Mountain.

So, what kind of place is this Medicine King Mountain?

A legendary Great Immortal Sect?!

Furthermore, Jade Cauldron Tower has branches all over the Six States of the Southern Border, dealing in business related to herbs, Spirit Medicines, and Spirit Pills, and Medicine King Mountain has the word ’medicine’ as well. Moreover, Xia Mingyang, a disciple of Medicine King Mountain, serves as the Pavilion Master of Jade Cauldron Tower.

So, could Medicine King Mountain be the backing behind Jade Cauldron Tower?

At this moment, Gu Yuan’s mind was filled with countless speculations.

"Kill me?"

Old Mo chuckled lightly, showing no sign of fear, instead appearing calm and composed: "Wei Chuan, I thought that as a disciple of the Gu God Sect, you would be a smart person, but I didn’t expect you to be such a fool!"

Gu God Sect, another extraordinary influence... Gu Yuan sighed inwardly.

Hearing Old Mo’s words, Wei Chuan’s eyes glinted with a cold light, but his expression remained calm and he laughed:

"What, do you think I can’t kill you?"

"Your cultivation is indeed higher than mine, but do you think I’ve been able to live safely up to now just because of my mastery of alchemy and wealth?!"

Old Mo waved his sleeve, and layers of white mist appeared on his body, fluttering like living creatures, forming a protective light shield:

"Do you think you can threaten me?! You’re dreaming!"

What’s going on... Gu Yuan looked at the layer of white light covering Old Mo’s body with suspicion and confusion.

"Could it be True Qi... or..."

Once a Martial Master achieves Great Success in Organ Refining, they can break through to the Innate Martial Master Realm.

They not only have endurance like a galloping horse and strength to tear apart tigers and leopards, but their spirit also connects with the heavens and earth, attracting the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, and integrating it with their internal Qi and Blood Power, nurturing True Qi.

While a Martial Master has abundant Qi and Blood and strong muscles and bones, all they can rely on are their exceptional physique and weapons to injure others, but their destructive power is ultimately limited.

However, an Innate Martial Master, by relying on True Qi, can achieve a Three-foot Blade Gang and Protective True Qi.

A punch can shatter metal and iron!

Even a fallen flower or leaf can become a lethal weapon under the influence of True Qi, akin to a Divine Weapon!

In the eyes of ordinary people, this is already an extraordinary and remarkable ability!

But to Gu Yuan, it appears more like a small-scale version of a superhero.

However, Gu Yuan had a feeling that the white light shield on Old Mo’s body didn’t quite resemble True Qi.

After all, the descriptions of True Qi in books were not like this.

"Cloud-Banning Magical Artifact?!"

Wei Chuan squinted his eyes, recognizing the origin of the white light shield on Old Mo:

"So you actually own such a treasure!"

Magical Artifacts are devices refined by cultivators using Spirit Iron, Exotic Gold, Demon Materials, or certain Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. Not only are they more powerful than ordinary weapons and concealed weapons, but they also possess various mystical abilities.

Such as forming a protective barrier, attacking, soul destruction, illusion creation, sealing, trapping enemies, or alchemy.

Only cultivators of the Celestial Human Realm have the ability to refine such items.

Even he didn’t possess such a treasure!

Wei Chuan’s expression was complex, showing surprise and a hint of jealousy, but then he laughed again:

"What use is a Magical Artifact? I don’t believe your artifact can withstand my Corpse Fly Gu!"

As he spoke, he waved his sleeve, releasing something like a red cloud from within, swarming towards the crowd. Most of them headed towards Old Mo.

Buzz, buzz—buzz, buzz—

These red clouds scattered unpredictably. Gu Yuan focused his gaze and saw that they were actually dense masses of dark red flies!

These flies were incredibly fast, and once they landed on a person, they would start biting.

Some were bitten and screamed in pain, instinctively trying to swat them away.

But then something even more terrifying happened!

When these flies were swatted and killed, they exploded into black-red liquid, which splattered on people’s skin, causing sizzling sounds as flesh began to fester and melt, revealing bone and internal organs.

It was more terrifying than any poison!

Immediately, several people writhed and wailed in agony, dying on the spot!

This scene frightened others into fleeing in panic, caring for nothing else.

Gu Yuan also quickly retreated, slashing precise strokes with his Sword Light, slicing through several incoming corpse flies.

The liquid splattered onto the sword, corroding the Hundred-Forged Refined Iron blade with a sizzle, emitting white smoke, and leaving small pits.

Suddenly, six or seven more corpse flies came buzzing. Gu Yuan was not an Innate Martial Master and hadn’t perfected his swordsmanship to an impenetrable level, barely fending off the corpse flies. However, the splattering liquid from the sliced flies inevitably landed on his arm.

Gu Yuan’s heart tightened. He was just about to cut out the part of his skin that touched the liquid when he noticed that there was no abnormal reaction upon skin contact.

He felt no pain, and his skin wasn’t being corroded.

"Could it be because I’ve gained the protection of being Immune to Hundred Poisons?"

Gu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, silently grateful for having tamed Ah Wu back then, otherwise, even if not dead, he would have been crippled!
