At this moment, Wu Nian was even more curious about one thing and asked, "Are you really willing to give up the ten-thousand-year ginseng for your little familiar This is something that even you need. You are still only at Human Rank and require such medicine to enhance yourself!"
"Strength, I can improve my own strength, it's just a bit later than usual. For me, this doesn't matter! Compared to it, what Xiao Chi wants is more important. Let’s pretend that I never found the ten-thousand-year ginseng!" Xiaoyao smiled and replied.
"…" Wu Nian couldn’t understand Xiaoyao's thoughts. Could he really give up a heavenly treasure for which others would kill to obtain
Yes, Xiaoyao could because in his heart, Xiao Chi was not just a little familiar but also because the ginseng was found by Xiao Chi, so it didn’t matter anyway!!
"Where did you find it Is there any more" The Medicine Garden Manager asked this question. Even he thought that it might be a foolish one to ask, yet he couldn't help himself.
Of course not, how could it still exist Such an unpredictable treasure wouldn’t appear again. Moreover, even if there was some left, would anyone tell you about it, so that you could snatch it
"It was found at the cliff just now. There’s only one ginseng and no more," Xiaoyao replied straightforwardly. He wanted everyone to know that this was something he had just obtained by chance and wasn’t being selfish with a long-term possession.
If he were to be selfish, others would suspect his identity. Who could privately keep such treasures Could he still be considered an ordinary herbalist
Xiaoyao's words, along with Cui Xu and Wu Nian’s confirmation, plus the freshness of the ginseng, nobody doubted that he was lying. Indeed it happened this way.
At the same time, everyone could also understand why Xiaoyao might be so generous since it was newly obtained and didn’t cost him anything. If he had never found it, then it would have been fine.
Mm-hmm, indeed that’s how Xiaoyao thought, but if this was just the thought alone, who would willingly give away such a precious ten-thousand-year ginseng
Regardless of anything else, now the matter between Xiaoyao and the ten-thousand-year ginseng had come to an end. Nobody continued to bring it up because there was no point since even Snow Wolf had already consumed the ginseng.
The current priority was healing their injuries. Xiaoyao’s emergency treatment hadn’t fully recovered everyone’s injuries, so naturally they needed further recovery. They would also have to deal with the battlefield afterwards; nobody could clean it up completely no matter which side you were on. Even if they all came together, there would still be remnants.
Although demons at a certain level must possess inner cores, some might as well. In this pack of black tigers, there definitely had to be some. Even just one or two was a gain.
An hour later, Xiaoyao continued treating Snow Wolf's injuries while the other Heavenly Gate members started gathering materials. They had processed about half of the black tigers but still couldn’t carry any more because it was just an expeditionary team after all.
Afterwards, they could have left but since Xiaoyao was continuing to send Shen Nong’s true energy to Snow Wolf, they waited nearby out of gratitude for his help.
They had to wait on the outskirts, unable to approach Xiaoyao and Snow Wolf due to wolf-shaped demon beasts blocking them. Although these were injured, they weren’t easy to deal with and nobody felt it necessary to conflict with them.
During this time, some of the wolf-shaped demons found black tiger corpses, ate flesh, drank blood, and swallowed inner cores as well. Demons had a sharper sense for locating inner core-bearing carcasses.
They then began their cultivation practices, digesting inner cores to recover from injuries. These surviving wolf-shaped demons were all elite among elites; after this battle and consuming inner cores, they would certainly see significant strength improvement.
If their strengths fully recovered, the expeditionary team might not be a match for them but naturally, neither side showed any signs of conflict at that moment.
The Heavenly Gate members didn’t dare to provoke them since they had already gained an advantage with so many black tiger corpses processed. These should have been the spoils of war for the wolf pack.
Several more hours passed, and by then it was starting to get dark but Xiaoyao seemed still to be adjusting Snow Wolf’s meridians and treating its injuries!
"Strange, how can Xiaoyao continuously transmit energy to heal someone for such a long time" Wu Nian noticed this. To her mind, he was just a Human Rank martial artist; how could he have such stamina Even she would find it hard to maintain so long and how did he manage
Could this be the characteristic of Shen Nong’s Technique
"Nian, did you notice too" The elder asked Wu Nian.
"What" Wu Nian was momentarily at a loss for words.
"His true energy seems to flow endlessly. It's hard for anyone below King Rank to achieve this; he’s just Human Rank though. Could it be due to Shen Nong’s Technique" The elder looked over towards Xiaoyao and mentioned.
"Should be, this should be asked of the personnel from the Medicine Garden; they would know about the Shen Nong Scripture!" Eastern WuNian shook his head and looked at the person in charge of the Medicine Garden who accompanied them on this trip.
"This... The Shen Nong Scripture indeed has a strong continuous capability. Maybe because the Shen Nong True Qi has healing properties, it heals itself while healing others! However, it doesn't seem to have such high sustained performance. We at Sky Gate also know of someone who practices the Shen Nong Scripture and reached Rank 9, but he could only maintain it for two hours!" The person in charge of the Medicine Garden frowned, finding this situation with Xianyao a bit strange but didn’t feel right about discussing it further since the Shen Nong Scripture was too unique; just because you can't do something doesn't mean others can't.
"That means he's somewhat different then!"
"There are differences, but perhaps his focus on the Shen Nong Scripture is different or he has cultivated a different version of the scripture."
"You're right, it’s an extraordinary martial skill, hard to explain!!"
"Mm, that's how we'll put it!"
Eastern WuNian and others ended their discussion, attributing Xianyao’s special case to the miraculous nature of the Shen Nong Scripture. They didn't pay too much attention since it was just the scripture; even if it had a longer duration, it still lacked offensive power.
After waiting for a long time, night fell and the Sky Gate group raised their campfire. The bodies of tigers and wolves littered the ground, fortunately this place deep in Tianxin Mountain didn't see any visitors, otherwise the sight would have frightened countless people.
"Wooo!!!"
A high-pitched howl came from the wolf pack, as it echoed outwards with an aura that made nearby individuals feel its overwhelming power.
This aura indicated something: The snow wolf’s injuries seemed to have healed. Xianyao truly managed to save a near-dead snow wolf back to life; though mainly thanks to the ten-thousand-year ginseng, his contribution couldn’t be ignored either.
Moreover, it appeared that this elder noticed an increase in the snow wolf’s power, perhaps even three levels higher. If he had been able to take down the wolf with a surprise attack before, now even in fair combat, he wouldn't last long against the wolf, maybe for less time than before.
At its current strength, if this snow wolf faced that black tiger again, it would win without needing mutual destruction!
"This... This power..." The snow wolf seemed somewhat surprised by her own power increase, hardly believing what she was experiencing. It wasn't strange for her to react like this; she originally thought breaking through just meant advancing a level, but now the situation seems to have upgraded her three levels.
The snow wolf could be sure that with closed-door cultivation, she would soon reach human form!
"You’re quite surprised, right Because of me, I pushed this ginseng’s medicinal power to its peak, allowing for your breakthrough. However, it's too bad, if we had made medicine from other herbs along with the ginseng, the effect would have been several times better; at least I could give my boss a pill then! Alas, there wasn't enough time!" Xianyao stretched his body out and though he said it was a pity, no one seemed to sense any genuine regret in his voice.
"Human, you helped me this time. If there's anything I can do for you, let me know!" The snow wolf spoke up.
"There’s nothing needed, this isn’t about helping you; it was this little glutton who wanted to help! By the way, are you female" Xianyao asked.
"... Yes..." After a moment of silence, she replied.
"No wonder, this little glutton likes beauty in addition to eating..." Xianyao whispered to himself.
"Chow-chow!" Chow-chow jumped and chirped excitedly.
"..." The snow wolf remained silent.
"Why are you chirping Want me to ask the white she-wolf to follow you" Xianyao snapped his fingers at Chow-chow.
"Chow-chow..."
"Alright, it's getting late. Everyone should rest! You can have your wolf pack clean up these corpses. Oh right, I need to handle the black tiger’s corpse myself, you do what you want!" Xianyao said before rushing over to the black tiger’s remains; although they had been cleaned once, there were still plenty of spoils awaiting his attention.
As Xianyao approached, wolf-shaped beasts respectfully made way for him and seemed to have a unique attitude towards him. This didn’t catch Xianyao's attention since he was focused solely on the black tiger remains.
Rapidly, Xianyao began carving up several black tiger corpses with his knife, surprising Eastern WuNian as she noticed that each of these corpses contained an inner core.
At this moment, accompanying Xianyao, she wanted to ask why he could maintain the effects for so long. She had already asked him and he had answered her (to be continued).omething she is passionate about!Peak of martial arts, that's her life goal!!And for lazing, she can sacrifice that goal, fortunately, there is no conflict between the two!!"Lone Star Sword, the solit...
