Chapter 203 Medication (2)
Shortly after taking the medicine, Tao Zi propped herself up and continued on her journey with the others.
Li Xiu looked at her and said, "The spirit ship is gone, we can only rely on our legs. Are you sure you can endure it?"
"No problem, we can't stay here any longer. The people of Minglan Sect are not useless."
They hurriedly left the place, and Hua Monk skillfully destroyed all traces.
Not long after, someone really arrived at this place.
The leader was Fifteen. He scanned the area with a sullen expression and said, "They've been here before. Keep searching!"
They searched bit by bit, and Fifteen looked worried. Although he had an average relationship with Thirteen, Thirteen was a member of the Minglan Sect. Killing Thirteen would be a slap in the face of the sect.
A disciple suddenly appeared in front of him and said respectfully, "Uncle Fifteen, we found some medicinal residue over there."
He looked over and saw the disciple stretched out his hand, which had some scattered medicinal residue on it.
Someone nearby scoffed, "What can you tell from such a small amount of medicine residue?"
The disciple said calmly, "From the faint scent of the medicinal residue, we can tell they weren't fully prepared. This herbalist disciple had seen them not far away, gathering the herbs locally. Furthermore, this is sufficient evidence that one of them was injured, which aligns with the image Thirteenth-Master's spiritual vision in his mind."
"What's the use? Judging from these points, there is no trace of them at all." Fifteen squinted at him.
The disciple smiled faintly and said affirmatively, "I would venture to guess that they don't have any medical practitioners—medical practitioners usually have medicines prepared, so they must have gone into the city to seek medical help. Secondly, they aren't from a large sect, otherwise they wouldn't have even these common medicines. Therefore, they probably don't have many tools, especially those for traveling, which is why they're staying here. Thirdly, the medicine residue is still faintly warm, which means they haven't been gone for long. We shouldn't chase them with spiritual tools, as this will easily miss them."
Fifteen raised his eyebrows and asked, "What if you guessed wrong?"
"This is just my guess. Whether you believe it or not is up to you, uncle."
He laughed and asked, "Where are you from?"
"A new disciple who joined the Punishment Hall in recent years. His surname is He."
"That's right. I'll give you a group of people and you lead them to look for the person."
"Thank you for your trust, uncle." The disciple surnamed He responded respectfully.
Soon, he led his men to a soft patch of land. He lowered his eyes to look at the fresh soil beneath his feet and calmly said to the people behind him, "There are many trees here. Pay attention to whether there are people in the trees."
"Yes, Senior Brother He." The disciples responded one after another and looked up at the tree cautiously.
He stood there motionless until his disciples came over one by one and said nothing unusual. Then he frowned and said, "Keep going. Look to the west. There's a small town over there. They might have gone that way."
As he spoke, he called over a disciple and said, "Go tell Uncle Fifteen that there's nothing unusual here. Then check on the other three teams. If there's any news, we'll go over and help."
"Yes, brother."
He left as if nothing had happened, and during the process he also looked in the grass to see if there were any signs.
Not long after they left, a hand stretched out from the land, and the Flower Monk emerged from the ground, panting and saying, "I almost couldn't help but want to come out and fight."
Han Yueshan also emerged with difficulty: "That person stepped on my chest and it hurt."
After several people emerged, Xi Jing looked around, horrified: "Where's my senior sister?"
They dug in a hurry and finally dug out Tao Zi who was almost unconscious.
She coughed softly, and the dirt on her face couldn't hide her discomfort.
Xi Jing hurriedly patted her back, and two foxes also emerged from other places.
Li Xiu said, "It's already like this, and you're not struggling, Tao Mei, do you want to die?"
The flower monk said helplessly: "I should have beaten him directly if I had known this earlier."
Han Yueshan said seriously, "No, we can't guarantee a kill with one strike, and without a spirit ship, there's a high probability that we'll be entangled, and then we'll be finished. Given our current situation, we can only be timid."
Tao Zi spoke weakly: "What are you talking about? Hurry and leave."
The little fox suddenly said, "Just now, the monk put something in the bushes."
"Give it to me."
“Don’t touch!”
Tao Zi and Han Yueshan said completely different things.
The little fox didn't think twice and just followed Tao Zi's instructions. It picked up something from the bushes, which was a small bag.
The Flower Monk took it and opened it, and exclaimed in amazement, "All kinds of healing pills."
"Isn't that person a disciple of Minglan Sect?"
Tao Zi repeated: "Stop talking, let's go first."
Han Yueshan carried her on his back and the group left in a hurry.
Perhaps it was because someone from the Minglan Sect was causing trouble, they safely made their way to the forest that Tao Zi mentioned.
The Flower Monk found a cave, roasted the native inhabitants inside, and said, "We have food and shelter, which is good."
Xi Jing half fell to the ground and said with emotion: "I can finally take a breath."
"Li Xiu."
Tao Zi suddenly called Li Xiu by his full name. He looked over blankly and asked, "What's wrong?"
"This spiritual plant should be treated using the method you mentioned before."
"Which one? I've given you a lot of ideas." He looked at her blankly.
Tao Zi said word by word, "The most useful method."
"That's also the most dangerous!"
"There's no time, and there's no chance. We can't guarantee there'll be a second Spirit-Restoring Plant, nor can we guarantee we'll be able to snatch one a second time."
Li Xiu was silent for a moment, looked at the pale Tao Zi, and nodded: "Okay, I'll make it right away."
When he took action, Han Yueshan was squatting there, thinking secretly.
Xi Jing asked, "Brother, what's wrong?"
"When we were buried in the ground before, that person mentioned Uncle Fifteen. From the name, it seems that Fifteen and Thirteen are of the same generation, so their strength should be similar. He also said that there are three teams..." He was analyzing what the person said.
Xi Jing asked in confusion: "Didn't we escape?"
Han Yueshan taught Xi Jing: "Silly, we escaped to our destination, not escaped. Know yourself and your enemy, and you will win every battle, understand?"
Zhao Xue also pondered: "That person must have a grudge against Minglan Sect, otherwise he wouldn't do these things."
Li Xiu originally thought that they could analyze something, but after hearing this, she turned away miserably. Didn’t these people think that the man was related to their senior sister?
Three days later, the weather was just right.
Li Xiu said seriously, "Your injuries haven't fully healed yet. Are you sure you want to take the medicine?"
Tao Zi nodded calmly: "Use it. We can't delay it any longer. No one knows what will happen next."
Li Xiu stood guard on one side, while Han Yueshan, the other two, the flower monk, and the two foxes each guarded the three directions outside the cave.
Tao Zi drank the bowl of medicinal juice full of spiritual energy.
Li Xiu quietly stood at the entrance of the cave and watched her.
