"Uncle Chu, you..."
Chen Xiao was full of confusion, unable to understand Chu Qingbai's complete reversal.
Chu Qingbai smiled and said, "I've told you so much, and I've long since put life and death aside. Tonight is my last term. I'll take you to the Medicine King Valley blessed land tonight. Even if the Tianyuan Sect blames us, they will only blame me and not trouble Luo'er."
Hearing this, Chen Xiao remained silent for a long time.
Chu Qingbai might not be a complete man, but he was certainly a complete father.
"Uncle Chu, when will the people from Tianyuan Sect arrive?"
Chen Xiao suddenly asked.
"Every year on the ninth day of the ninth month, they send special envoys to Medicine King Valley to stay for three days,"
Chu Qingbai replied truthfully.
Chen Xiao calculated, "There's less than a month left. Uncle Chu, don't worry, you definitely won't die."
"I'm betting I won't die either. I haven't seen Luo'er get married, nor have I seen him have children. To let me die now, I'm not reconciled... This is also one of the reasons why I'm taking you to the Medicine King Valley blessed land,"
Chu Qingbai said very calmly.
Damn it!
Chen Xiao really wanted to curse. Chu Qingbai's scheming was truly terrifying.
He realized that from the moment he walked into the room, he had already been calculated by this old fox.
However, Chen Xiao didn't feel any resentment, nor did he feel like he had been tricked.
This was the truly frightening aspect of Chu Qingbai, far superior to those who only resorted to moral blackmail.
"Alright, time waits for no one. I don't want to know what you're going to do in the Medicine King Valley blessed land, nor will I ask. You just need to leave the blessed land before dawn. So, Mr. Chen, let's set off now."
Chu Qingbai urged.
"Mm!"
Chen Xiao nodded, "Please lead the way, Uncle Chu."
Chu Qingbai led Chen Xiao out of the room through another door and headed straight for the outside of the manor. They didn't encounter anyone along the way.
After walking in the wilderness for about ten minutes, the two arrived at an open space between two mountain walls, facing a lush green medicinal field.
Chen Xiao could sense the surging spiritual energy, and the Yin-Yang Jade on his chest vibrated again.
However, what lay before him was merely a very ordinary medicinal field, growing common herbs, not spiritual herbs.
Therefore, this place was not the legendary Medicine King Valley blessed land.
Just then, Chu Qingbai suddenly walked to a mountain wall, took out a long strip of jade from his embrace, and inserted it into a groove in the mountain wall.
Rumble—
Chen Xiao suddenly felt the ground shake. The medicinal field beneath his feet actually parted to the left and right, revealing a stone staircase leading underground.
Following the stone staircase down, after passing through a narrow section, the space inside suddenly became incredibly spacious.
And a medicinal field planted with true spiritual herbs finally appeared before Chen Xiao.
This was the legendary Medicine King Valley blessed land.
Chen Xiao suddenly thought of the medicinal field underground in Baguan Village. The design of the two was identical.
It was evident that people living in the Immortal Hidden Realm had very little novelty.
However, this blessed land was much more advanced than the Manzhushahua medicinal field in Baguan Village. It was planted with various precious spiritual herbs, some of which Chen Xiao couldn't even name.
It was just that these spiritual herbs were far from maturity. It seemed that the spiritual herbs Chu Qingbai had to hand over on the ninth day of the ninth month were not here.
"Mr. Chen, this is the Medicine King Valley blessed land. Please make yourself at home. I'll be going back now. I'll come here to pick you up at the fifth watch tomorrow morning!"
"Alright, Uncle Chu, please take care."
Chu Qingbai cupped his hands, bid farewell to Chen Xiao, and left the Medicine King Valley blessed land.
Chen Xiao waited for a while, released his divine sense, and after confirming that Chu Qingbai had returned to the Medicine King Mountain Villa, he took out the Yin-Yang Jade.
Hum—
Hum—
Hum—
Even in Chen Xiao's hand, the Yin-Yang Jade vibrated non-stop. Chen Xiao could even feel excitement and eagerness from it.
"The Yin-Yang Jade is one of the five great sacred relics left by the Eternal Immortal Emperor. Now that it's so excited, could it be because it encountered other sacred relics?"
This thought suddenly appeared in Chen Xiao's mind, and the more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.
He immediately released his divine sense, covering the entire blessed land to probe.
However, Chen Xiao soon found that this method wouldn't work.
Because he discovered that there seemed to be something beneath the Medicine King Valley blessed land, but his divine sense could only probe about two meters downwards before being blocked by something.
It should be known that under normal circumstances, with Chen Xiao's current strength, his divine sense could at least probe a hundred meters.
But now, it couldn't continue after probing only two meters, which was clearly abnormal.
Since his divine sense couldn't probe down, Chen Xiao decided to use the most primitive method—digging the earth!
After making his decision, Chen Xiao immediately took out the Yitian Sword and began to dig at the ground.
The shape of the Yitian Sword destined it not to be suitable for this task, and the efficiency was very low, but it was better than nothing, and certainly better than digging with his hands.
Just as Chen Xiao was digging with great effort, a voice filled with mockery suddenly came.
"Tsk tsk tsk, using such a good magical artifact as a hoe, what a waste of heavenly resources! Little fellow, your method won't work!"
Hearing this voice, Chen Xiao looked up and saw an old man in a white robe standing before him, though he didn't know when he had arrived.
Chen Xiao never expected to meet him here again.
Furthermore, this "him" was still not his true form, but another energy body.
That's right, the old man was Zhu Hanshan, and he was looking at Chen Xiao with a playful expression, a faint smile on his face.
"Heh heh, I didn't expect us to meet again."
Chen Xiao said lightly, not showing any panic due to Zhu Hanshan's appearance.
Zhu Hanshan chuckled softly, "Yes, I didn't expect to meet again so soon. The first time I saw you, I broke out in a cold sweat. If you were with that Yang Potian, it would have been troublesome."
"But fortunately, you are one of us."
Chen Xiao smiled, "How did you know I was one of us?"
"If you weren't one of us, Qingbai wouldn't have brought you here,"
Zhu Hanshan replied, "But for you to gain his trust so quickly at such a young age is truly not simple."
Chen Xiao shrugged and said playfully, "I didn't gain his trust, I just got on his pirate ship."
Zhu Hanshan laughed heartily and suddenly changed the subject, "Young man, why don't I say you should give up? You won't find what you're looking for here."
Chen Xiao was immediately stunned, "You know what I'm looking for?"
"Of course, I know."
As he spoke, Zhu Hanshan looked towards Chen Xiao's chest.
Chen Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly, "How do you know I won't find it?"
Zhu Hanshan stretched lazily and said indifferently, "Because, you haven't gained my trust yet..."
