Big monster...
Two oddities…
Jing Zhe finally learned their "names," which were quite unique...
Moreover, the conversation between the two monsters of Tongtian, which was like that of two clowns, made him feel both amused and terrified!
Jing Zhe felt that these two old men were not as easy to fool as they had been the previous two times. After throwing the dates over, he took Mu Qingren's hand and leaned towards the old medicine boy.
Mu Qingren was being led by him, and she wanted to refuse, but for some reason, the hand he was holding seemed to have lost all feeling, and she couldn't pull it back no matter what she did.
I think I must be sick.
Mu Qingren sighed inwardly. Her face was flushed, but luckily she was standing at the back of the crowd, so no one would notice her.
It seems she really can't get the Breakthrough Flower. She overestimated herself. Even a grandmaster like Master Jing Zhe couldn't leave. If they had come first, they probably wouldn't have been able to go back.
Watching Jing Zhe's retreating figure, she thought again about what he had said before he left. She wondered what kind of training method it was that could really instantly improve one's cultivation level.
If he refuses to teach, should we swallow our pride and beg him?
At this moment, Jing Zhe had already arrived at the old medicine boy's side. When he got close, he noticed that the old medicine boy's complexion was not good and his breathing was slightly disordered. He was shocked: No wonder he asked him to hand over the pills. It seems that Master is really injured!
Then, pretending to be nonchalant, he looked at the Twin Monsters of Tongtian and asked, "Seniors, we've given you the date pills, can we leave now?"
The Twin Monsters glanced at him and said, "Dream on! Wait here for half an hour. If you're alright then, we'll talk!"
"..."
They could only wait for half an hour. After seeing that the white mouse Jing Zhe was fine, the Tongtian Twin Monsters ate the jujube pill along with the jujube.
Jing Zhe breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he could finally leave.
But after the two monsters from Tongtian finished eating, their brows furrowed.
If the pill from the night before last was a substandard medicine—after all, it could mobilize their qi, just a little weaker—then the one we just took was a fake! After taking it, apart from feeling a bit bitter in our throats, it was completely useless!
The monster was furious: "Are you lying to us? Are you tired of living?"
Erguai figured out the key point. Judging from Jing Zhe's reluctant look when he took the pill and the faint scent of the Breaking Realm Flower he smelled, he felt that the pill was genuine and the problem lay elsewhere!
He then said coldly, "Hand over this jujube-eating pill technique! Otherwise, none of the three of you will leave here today!"
It seems they already knew about his master's injury, otherwise why would they be so brazen?
The old medicine boy sighed: "You two old monsters, what kind of grandmasters are you? If you hadn't attacked from behind, how could you have hurt me?"
"You came to steal our Breakthrough Flower, and you think you're a Grandmaster?"
"Even if I am injured, it won't be easy for the two of you to kill the three of us! If you let me leave, Tongtianque will never have a peaceful day again! I, the old medicine boy, mean what I say!"
The old medicine boy spoke with a firm and resolute tone. The two monsters remained silent for a moment before finally saying, "Then hand over the cultivation technique!"
"Alright, then I'll reveal the cultivation method, and you can let my master and me, along with that girl from the Wuxian Pavilion, leave!"
Then the old medicine boy said, "When taking jujube pills, jujubes must be used as a guide to balance yin and yang, so as to strengthen the body's foundation and consolidate its vitality!"
"..."
The technique was very simple. After hearing it, the Tongtian Twin Monsters were stunned for a moment, their eyes glancing at Mu Qingren. Mu Qingren happened to meet their gaze and suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, so she quickly lowered her head.
At this moment, Jing Zhe pulled her behind him and shielded her with his body. Mu Qingren looked up and felt that his back suddenly became much taller, his eyes darting around, as if he was thinking about something.
"Alright, we've taken the medicine and explained the cultivation method. Can we leave now?"
The old medicine boy asked.
"You can leave, but..."
The two oddballs chuckled and said lewdly, "However, only two of you three can leave. As for the last one, you'll have to stay here!"
"Second Brother, are you going back on your word? Aren't you afraid I'll come back to cause you trouble after I recover?"
"Heh, do you really think we're afraid of you? When you stole those three Breakthrough Flowers, if the two of us had attacked you at full strength, do you think you could have survived? The only reason we let you go was because we valued your ability to make pills!"
After the first monster finished speaking, the second monster chimed in, "These Breakthrough Flowers are no longer useful to us. They're only useful to you weaklings who need to refine medicine or are below the Grandmaster level. Do you know why we've left these last two Breakthrough Flowers here, letting people harass us?"
The old medicine boy sighed: "You deliberately used the Breakthrough Flower as bait, waiting for me here?"
"Hehe, you're smart!"
The second monster smiled slyly: "You've spent half your life refining medicine, and the best thing you've ever made is probably this jujube pill, isn't it?"
He glanced at Jing Zhe with a hint of envy: "Old Medicine Boy, you've certainly not wasted your life training by enabling this kid to reach the fifth level in such a short time! Now that you've fallen into our hands, do you really think you can leave so easily? Ha, still thinking about revenge later? If we wanted to, you wouldn't have a future! Besides, since my brother and I entered the Grandmaster realm, what do we care about the Heavenly Gate or the Heavenly Palace? If you're so capable, just go and cause them trouble!"
After saying that, he looked at Jing Zhe again: "However, we also owe a lot to this kid this time! If it weren't for him, we might have just given up without getting the pills from you. But he's quite bold, breaking in three times in a few days, and he really ran into us! Did he really think that two pills could get rid of us?"
"We want all the pills! And the hidden weapons too!"
The big monster immediately chimed in, then glanced at Mu Qingren behind Jing Zhe and chuckled lewdly, "Hehehe, as for the person, we want him too!"
Hearing this, anyone who isn't a fool would know that things wouldn't end well today; it's either you die or I live.
Jing Zhe and Mu Qingren are both at the fifth level of cultivation, while the old medicine boy, though a grandmaster, is injured. On the other hand, the two opponents are grandmasters in perfect condition. Therefore, this fight seems to have no suspense.
The old medicine boy sighed, his face grave.
"You mean what you say and can let two people go? Then I'll stay and let those two juniors leave!"
"Master!"
The old medicine boy waved his hand, signaling him to be quiet.
Erguai thought for a moment and said, "I didn't expect that, old medicine boy. I thought that with your personality, you would only take your apprentice with you!"
As she spoke, she glanced at Mu Qingren again, seemingly still thinking about the matter of "rotating Yin and Yang".
"What, have you changed your mind?"
"Heh, since you just said it, you won't go back on your word. However, leave all the pills and hidden weapons on your person!"
"..."
