n't even twenty-three years old, which means that this young man has managed to anticipate this to the month. It's truly unbelievable."That's great, though it's a pity she won't be your wife. But she...Chapter 211: Ten Thousand Year Ginseng, Part 2

"Forget it. I'll act as if I didn't see anything and wasted my efforts for nothing. You little glutton! If you wanted to eat it yourself, why didn't you just take a bite Why did you make me climb up and down like this, which is so tiring!!" In the end, Xianyao gave up and didn’t want to argue with the glutton anymore. Originally, spirit fruits were meant for eating, and if the glutton needed it, even if it was in his hands, he would give it to him.

For Xianyao, although this spirit fruit was a rare treasure, compared to the glutton, it wasn't as important!

The only thing that annoyed Xianyao was that the glutton could have eaten it himself when he discovered it. Why did he make him climb down and up Wasn’t this just making things difficult for himself

"You little glutton!!" When Xianyao thought of this, he angrily tapped the glutton's head.

"Xiao Xi!" The glutton called out.

"Xiao Xi, you only know how to eat. Let’s go up now," said Xianyao as he took out a small grappling hook; it was one of the tools he prepared before venturing into the dangerous world. Despite its small size, it was made from the hardest metal.

At the same time, there was also a small mechanism that could shoot the grappling hook out and retrieve it after grabbing onto something. The rope used for this contraption was made of the finest material, capable of easily supporting the weight of two people without any issues.

"Xiao Xi!" the glutton called again.

"" Xianyao paused momentarily and looked at the glutton, sensing that there might be something else he wanted to say. "Is there anything else you want"

The glutton called out, "Xiao Xi..." then jumped onto another platform dozens of meters away below this one.

Xianyao found it easy to deal with this distance; without the use of tools, he could simply rely on his light body skills and terrain features to quickly reach the other side.

Following the glutton’s lead, Xianyao jumped onto that platform. The glutton then continued jumping to another one. After a few jumps, when Xianyao was about to jump again, he suddenly noticed that the glutton had crawled into a small hole.

Huh A small hole

Xianyao paused and squatted down to take a closer look; this hole seemed too small for him but just right for the glutton or perhaps even a child. However, Xianyao’s build was rather difficult to fit.

"Xiao Xi…" The glutton inside called out, seemingly asking Xianyao to come in as well.

"Come on, this hole is so small! Can’t you bite it bigger How am I supposed to squeeze through!!" While saying that, Xianyao also squeezed himself into the hole.

Indeed, Xianyao managed to get inside. Although the hole was small, as long as there was a space larger than his head, he could fit in due to his mastery of an extraordinary skill called Bone Contraction Technique from martial arts lore.

Although Xianyao’s cultivation might be weak, he knew many extraordinary techniques like Bone Contraction and Flexibility Techniques. He was proficient in all of them.

Therefore, this small hole presented no significant obstacle to him.

"You little glutton! Next time you should make the path bigger!" After passing through the hole, Xianyao first scolded the glutton and then began exploring inside.

The glutton kept calling out, "Xiao Xi…" while Xianyao was completely absorbed in what he saw.

This place was truly a wonderland!!

The sunlight shining into this dark cave deep within the mountain turned it into an idyllic paradise. Not only did it have trees and flowers, but also small streams and lakes.

Xianyao could only describe this unique existence as miraculous!

When Xianyao was still immersed in wonderment, the glutton called out again, leading him to another place.

Along the way, Xianyao noticed various precious herbs and even some he couldn't identify. He felt they might be valuable medicinal ingredients worth testing for their properties if possible.

However, it seemed that the glutton wasn’t interested in them; instead, he was leading Xianyao somewhere else. Although Xianyao didn’t know why, he believed that the glutton would give him a satisfactory answer.

Soon enough, he understood what this place was about, and he was very pleased with his discovery!

"Darn it! Ginseng Ten thousand years old! There’s even some two thousand years old!! If I refine these into medicine, someone at my level could break through to the Emperor Realm within three years. Even if there's a glutton like you dragging me down, I can still reach the King Realm!!" Xianyao gazed at the ten-thousand-year-old ginseng with longing and said, "Then I’ll be an era-defining hero!! This is awesome!!"

Although it seemed that Xianyao was focused on training Guxing, he hadn’t neglected his own cultivation either. He practiced every day; while he could already defend himself now, who wouldn't want to become even stronger Xianyao wasn't lazy; otherwise, he wouldn’t have acquired so many skills.

Don’t forget that when Xianyao initially integrated martial arts into various skills for cultivation, he was able to understand the essence of martial arts while practicing. He never let his mastery of martial arts slack off.

For others, taking such pills might cause their strength to grow too fast and make their realm unstable. However, for Immortal Free, this wouldn’t be a problem because his realm was already sufficient. Even if he were given the power of an Emperor now, he would still be able to control it completely.

Of course, even though Immortal Free could obtain this ten-thousand-year ginseng and create such pills, he wouldn’t keep them all for himself. He would share some with Lone Star and perhaps reserve one for the Young Miss if possible. The others wouldn't receive such a generous treatment.

If Southern Palace Su Xin were to find out about this, she would definitely lash out at Immortal Free, scolding him fiercely.

Immortal Free carefully harvested the ginseng and used special methods to preserve it. This not only protected its medicinal properties but also sealed off its aura so that no one could detect its presence.

Afterwards, Immortal Free quickly collected useful herbs from nearby areas, leaving some temporarily unused ones behind for future visits, since nobody would come here anyway; this place was practically his personal herb garden.

"Alright, let's go. We'll return another time."

Immortal Free couldn't stay long because Eastern Void Wistfulness was waiting above. Thinking of Eastern Void Wistfulness, Immortal Free picked up some ingredients while he was there.

When Immortal Free arrived at the cliff top, Eastern Void Wistfulness was sitting by the edge of the cliff, but she hadn’t noticed that Immortal Free had already come up because his arrival point was a bit far from her. Don't forget that Immortal Free hopped onto several platforms on his way up.

"Second Miss!"

Immortal Free called out to Eastern Void Wistfulness.

"Ah, Immortal Free! What are you doing over there Are you alright" Eastern Void Wistfulness immediately stood up and dashed towards Immortal Free, asking him anxiously.

The time Immortal Free had spent below was quite long, so she began to worry that something might have happened. She started feeling anxious.

"I'm fine! I even brought back some delicious food for you; these are pretty rare!" Immortal Free replied with a smile.

"Food Didn't you go down there to gather herbs Was it for me" Eastern Void Wistfulness looked at Immortal Free, touched by his gesture. She was somewhat mistaken about the reason behind this.

"Sort of, but I just happened to find them. Don’t be too moved." Immortal Free immediately said in explanation; however, to Eastern Void Wistfulness, it sounded like Immortal Free didn't want her to worry, intentionally or not.

"Alright, understood! Next time don't do such reckless things!" Eastern Void Wistfulness said.

"It's fine. It wasn’t dangerous; I had my tools and as a gatherer, it’s normal for me to work on cliffs like this." Immortal Free casually explained, dismissing the misunderstanding without elaborating further. Time would prove everything.

When he suddenly jumped down earlier, I was startled. Next time could you warn us beforehand" This wasn’t from Eastern Void Wistfulness but from Cui Xu. He indeed worried about Immortal Free because if something happened to him, it might make Eastern Void Wistfulness blame herself and most importantly, the Sect Leader wouldn't be pleased with her. Immortal Free was a great benefactor who healed Eastern Void Wistfulness.

"Haha, sorry for worrying you, Young Master Cui! I’m used to gathering herbs this way; I didn’t mean any harm!" Immortal Free said with a smile and responded politely, even though he knew it was just out of self-interest.

"Alright, let’s call it quits. We should head back now as we’ve been outside for quite some time." Cui Xu wanted to leave the place and looked towards the mountain foot.

"Right, let's go!" Eastern Void Wistfulness nodded in agreement; Immortal Free naturally agreed too.

When Immortal Free, Eastern Void Wistfulness, and Cui Xu approached their original resting spot, Immortal Free suddenly stopped. His expression turned serious as he said:

"There’s a smell of blood... What"

Eastern Void Wistfulness and Cui Xu instantly halted in puzzlement, looking at Immortal Free with confusion over what the scent of blood meant.

"There's a smell of blood ahead. Let's be cautious as we approach; something might have happened there!" Immortal Free pointed toward the front, which seemed to be the place they had been resting earlier.

“How could this be There’s an Elder guarding that area. How would anything happen Even if it did, it wouldn’t remain silent given our proximity.” Cui Xu shook his head, finding Immortal Free's words unbelievable.

"That’s strange indeed. We’ve been there for such a long time; someone should have come to call us back." Eastern Void Wistfulness thought of another matter, seemingly supporting the possibility that something might be amiss now.

"Better safe than sorry!" Immortal Free simply said four words and didn’t care if they followed his advice or not. All he cared about was keeping a low profile as he slowly approached to see what had happened.

Eastern Void Wistfulness chose to stay hidden too, adhering to Immortal Free's caution of being overly careful.

"What a waste; with an Elder around, how could anything happen Unless it’s the Demon Race! Still, they rarely appear here and wouldn’t attack without reason…" Cui Xu said disdainfully before rushing toward the front.

Soon enough, whether hiding was necessary or not was proven by reality for Cui Xu!red not speak up against it here. In this place, the Cao Family was like an unruly princess of Qingyun City, and a blackened one at that – simply put, true bullies.True bullies would never act like su...
