Chapter 1889: Sun Ying The Medicine King

“He’s hiding and watching the three of you!” As the old man hid himself and watched Duan Ling Tian and his two companions, Elder Huo’s voice rang in Duan Ling Tian’s ear in a timely manner.

Duan Ling Tian instantly transmitted his voice to Gu Li and Zhu Lu Qi. “Start acting now!”

Acting!

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s Voice Transmission, whether it was Gu Li or Zhu Lu Qi, both of them were momentarily stunned.

“The powerhouse who stole the Spirit Grasses and Spirit Medicines earlier really possesses a very fast speed! From the beginning until the end, I didn’t even realize what was happening, and he has already stolen all the Spirit Grasses and Spirit Medicine,” Duan Ling Tian said as he looked at Gu Li and Zhu Lu Qi with an expression of disbelief and confusion on his face. It was as though someone had really stolen the Spirit Grasses and Spirit Medicines.

“It’s a good thing we didn’t try to stop or him or else we would’ve been sent flying. Judging by his expression, I’m afraid he would’ve killed us if we tried to stop him!” Gu Li said with a fearful expression on his face.

“He’s really strong! I wonder if the owner of this herb garden is a match for him. If he can’t catch up to him, I’m afraid all of the Spirit Grasses and Spirit Medicines will be gone!” Zhu Lu Qi chimed in.

Duan Ling Tian and his two companions continued talking as though they did not know someone was eavesdropping on them. Their words sounded so genuine that the old man who was hiding believed their words and finally felt at ease. In the next instant, he instantly flew in the south direction.

Whoosh!

The old man’s figure flew out and left a ‘heavenly trail’ in the sky. His speed was terrifyingly fast.

“How many years has it been since someone dare to anger me, Sun Ying? No matter who you are, you’ll die for touching my things!” The old man’s eye shone coldly.

Sun Ying!

If someone from the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land heard this name, they would be shocked.

The Medicine King, Sun Ying, was a famous powerful sectless cultivator in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. Apart from being a Quasi Celestial Grade Saint Refinement Master who specialized in Medicine Dao, he was also a sectless cultivator who was ranked in the top 300 on the Supreme Saint Ranking!

Although that was the case, it did not cross Sun Ying’s mind that he had been fooled by the three fellows who came from the Lower Province! He was fooled because he did not expect Duan Ling Tian and his two companions could sense his Divine Consciousness and knew he was hiding.

Sun Ying was very confident of his own strength. Naturally, this was because it did not cross Sun Ying’s mind that Duan Ling Tian had someone like Elder Huo helping him.

If he had known about Elder Huo, he would have made Duan Ling Tian and his two companions swear on the lightning penalty oath instead of simply monitoring them on his own to see if they would steal things that had been entrusted to them. When one’s strength had reached Sun Ying’s stage, it would be a habit for them to do things on their own. The lightning penalty oath would not be the first thing to come to their minds unless they had no other choice.

Duan Ling Tian would have been caught if this was not the case.

The instant Sun Ying left, Elder Huo informed Duan Ling Tian about it. Duan Ling Tian instantly gestured to Gu Li and Zhu Lu Qi to leave. “He has already left to the south. He won’t be back for the time being. Let’s head west at our fastest speed. Let’s travel for a month before we decide what to do next.”

“Sure!” At this moment, Gu Li and Zhu Lu Qi both looked to Duan Ling Tian and waited for his instruction.

After three of them rose into the air, they flew west without even looking back. They did not dare to stop even for a moment.

“It’s a good thing the old fellow only checked our Spatial Rings and hid in the dark to eavesdrop on us. If he had asked us to swear on the lightning penalty oath, all of us would have died!” Gu Li said while they were traveling. He felt really lucky.

“Indeed.” Zhu Lu Qi expressed his agreement. After listening to Gu Li’s words, he broke out in cold sweat. It was indeed a close call.

“However, I think it did not even cross his mind that we would uproot all the Spirit Grasses and Spirit Medicines in his herb garden when he wasn’t watching us. I’m sure he didn’t expect Junior Brother Ling Tian is able to tell that he was hiding or that we were acting,” Gu Li said as he looked at Duan Ling Tian with admiration in his eyes.

“That’s right.” Zhu Lu Qi also nodded.

Up until now, Zhu Lu Qi still could not figure out how Duan Ling Tian was able to find out when the owner of the herb garden was not watching them. He did not think Duan Ling Tian was able to sense the Divine Consciousness of the herb garden’s owner.

His cultivation base and Divine Consciousness were stronger than Duan Ling Tian, but even he could not detect the Divine Consciousness of the owner of the herb garden at all.

However, since Duan Ling Tian did not say anything about it, he and Gu Li were sensible enough to not question him about it. Everyone had their secrets after all.

Duan Ling Tian did not speak at all as he listened to Gu Li and Zhu Lu Qi’s exchange. Their words made him break out in cold sweat since he was also worried about this matter before this.

“Elder Huo, why are you so certain he wouldn’t make us swear on the lightning penalty oath?” Duan Ling Tian could not help but ask Elder Huo.

Previously, he had voiced his concern to Elder Huo. He was worried the owner of the herb garden would make them swear on the lightning penalty oath. However, Elder Huo was confident the owner of the herb garden would not make them swear on the lightning penalty oath. He had reassured Duan Ling Tian so that he would go ahead with the plan.

Although Duan Ling Tian felt slightly anxious, he decided to take the risk. In the end, it had paid off. He had successfully escaped from the owner of the herb garden.

Earlier, he was too happy that he had momentarily forgotten about this. When he heard Gu Li and Zhu Lu Qi’s words, he was reminded about his earlier concern which prompted him to question Elder Huo.

“It’s because of the mindset of a strong powerhouse,” Elder Huo replied.

“The mindset of a strong powerhouse?” Duan Ling Tian was puzzled.

“To the owner of the herb garden, three of you are merely ants to him. If he wants information from three of you, there’s no need for him to rely on the lightning penalty oath,” Elder Huo said before he asked, “Try to imagine this. If you’re in his shoes, would you even think of asking three people whom you think of as ants to swear on the lightning penalty oath?”

Duan Ling Tian fell silent for a moment when heard this.

He tried putting himself in the position of the owner of the herb garden. He discovered he would also rely on his own strength and would not rely on the lightning penalty oath!

“He did not expect I’ll have someone like Elder Huo to help me. He’ll definitely regret his decision!” When Duan Ling Tian regained his senses, he understood what Elder Huo meant by the mindset of a strong powerhouse. They were arrogant and looked down on others due to their confidence in their own strength!

“Moreover, who would ever expect that you possess the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda and can store the stolen goods in there?” Elder Huo smiled.

“No matter what, it’s all thanks to you that we managed to get out of trouble, Elder Huo. Thank you.” Duan Ling Tian sincerely expressed his gratitude to Elder Huo.

Although he was the owner of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, and he could be considered as Elder Huo’s master since he was the pagoda spirit of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, he had never regarded Elder Huo as his subordinate. From the beginning until the end, he had always treated Elder Huo as his senior.

As it turned out, he had made the right decision. Due to this reason, Elder Huo had always helped him unreservedly and did not keep things to himself.

During the tenth day when Duan Ling Tian and his two companions were traveling west, Sun Ying who made his way south still did not catch the person who had looted from his herb garden. Moreover, he did not find any traces of the person at all.

“Don’t tell me this person’s strength is not inferior to mine?” Sun Ying stood in the air and looked below him with a terrifyingly grave expression on his face.

As he thought more about it, he felt that it was impossible. There were only about 200 people in the entire Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land whose strength was not inferior to his strength. Apart from that, they were all famous powerhouses on the Supreme Saint Ranking! It was impossible for those people to stoop so low and commit such a sneaky act!

Moreover, in the eyes of these powerhouses, although the Spirit Grasses and Spirit Medicines that he planted were good, it was not enough for them to risk offending him.

In the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, he was ranked 300th in terms of strength. However, in regards to Medicine Dao, as a Quasi Celestial Grade Saint Refinement Master, he could be considered to be in the top three among all Medicine Dao Saint Refinement Masters in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land!

It was not worth it for anybody to offend him just for Spirit Grasses and Spirit Medicines.

“Could it be that fellow who had done this?” Sun Ying’s gaze suddenly turned cold. Among his many rivals, there was only one man who was stronger than him.

However, Sun Ying soon dismissed this possibility. ‘Wait a minute! There are not more than five people in the entire Upper Province who are privy to the location of my herb garden. It’s impossible for that person to do this. There only one possibility left, something’s not right with those three ants from the Lower Province!’ Sun Ying immediately turned around the moment he thought of this.

When he returned to his herb garden, he discovered the three people whom he had regarded as ants had long left the herb garden. Moreover, despite his thorough search in the north, east, and west, he could not find any traces of the three men.

At this moment, he was certain those three men from the Lower Province had escaped a long time ago.

“They actually ran away! Could they have done this as well?” Killing intent appeared in Sun Ying eyes.

However, up until now, Sun Ying only knew three of them had escaped. He was uncertain if they were the ones who had stolen the Spirit Grasses and Spirit Medicines from his herb garden.

First of all, he did not think the three of them would dare to do so under his watch since they could not sense when he was monitoring them.

Secondly, he did not think they were acting when he had hidden himself and watched them since he did not think they could sense his presence.

“However, even if they did not steal the Spirit Grasses and Spirit Medicines, to think they actually dare to defy my order and run away. They’ll definitely die if I encounter them in the future!” Sun Ying sentenced three of them to death in his heart.
