vel, many people tend not to choose it. Even if one manages to overcome difficulties and enter Mingyu Gong, they won't attain the highest level. Therefore, it's simpler to opt for other inner cultivat...Could the Medicine Immortal Peak really treat them for free That's impossible! It would be great if they didn't take advantage of the situation to squeeze money out of them. Offering a fair price is already very considerate.

The Medicine Immortal Peak isn’t something they own; it requires funds every day, and other sects certainly wouldn't provide assistance without expecting anything in return!

When Xianyao arrived at the Medicine Immortal Peak, he didn't encounter any of the events involving the righteous alliance because their location wasn't on the main peak of Medicine Immortal Peak. Instead, it was elsewhere, as Medicine Immortal Peak hadn’t lent out its main peak but rather a secondary area.

Of course, this place also had rent to pay. If Xianyao knew these details, he would doubt whether the sect leader of Medicine Immortal Peak came from a merchant background.

No matter what happens with the righteous alliance, the benefits Medicine Immortal Peak gains are enough for it to operate smoothly for three to five years and can also replenish its medicinal materials.

But Xianyao isn’t aware of these things. What he knows now is that the main peak of Medicine Immortal Peak is a great place, with clouds and mists swirling around the mountain. Bamboo-wood architecture adds an elegant touch, truly resembling仙境 (a fairyland).

Soon, Xianyao's gaze was drawn to a stone tablet. This was in the small plaza atop the main peak of Medicine Immortal Peak, where a giant tortoise carried a huge stone tablet. This is something that Medicine Immortal Peak has had since its inception and can be considered one of its most important symbols.

On this stone tablet are written some words. These characters seem to be related to the medical arts but also don't appear to be, as no one has been able to understand them until now, not even those with exceptional talent.

It's said that these words weren’t owned by the person who founded Medicine Immortal Peak initially but rather were discovered in a medical book. He found it very mysterious and managed to grasp some of the essence of medical arts, thus achieving great success and founding Medicine Immortal Peak.

Therefore, he had this text carved on the stone tablet hoping that someone might understand it. The reason everyone could see it was because he didn't harbor any selfish thoughts; unlike martial arts, medical arts can tolerate others surpassing oneself.

Even so, no one has fully grasped its meaning, and those who have understood something different from each other: some grasping medical knowledge, some martial arts knowledge, while others even gaining insights into calligraphy or tea ceremony that are unrelated.

This leads to the belief that perhaps the original founder of Medicine Immortal Peak might not truly understand these characters either. Up until now, possibly no one has understood them.

When Xianyao saw the text on this stone tablet, he immediately stopped and stared at it intently, completely engrossed.

The others could tell that Xianyao must have some understanding of these characters from his reaction. Therefore, they didn't disturb him.

Even though there aren’t many people who understand them, Medicine Immortal Peak is already accustomed to it and isn't too concerned about what Xianyao might grasp since no one knows what he'll come up with; this can be seen from past records.

If they knew that Xianyao had a unique understanding of the text that others didn’t, they wouldn’t relax but would be tense and guard him, asking about its true meaning afterward.

But no one knows this since people can't read others' minds; only if someone shares their insights. But Xianyao doesn’t share what he understands even after grasping it thoroughly when asked, just giving a vague response.

This text indeed has its extraordinary aspects as Xianyao spent three whole days pondering over it without eating or drinking, standing motionless the entire time!

Others may not know what he understood, but they can be sure that this isn’t simple, given the duration and his continued flow of true qi indicating a breakthrough might be imminent.

From this, it’s clear that at least part of what Xianyao grasped is related to martial arts. Could these characters be...

A cultivation technique No, not really. But they do affirm some of Xianyao's ideas, making his cultivation methods and martial arts more perfect.

Xianyao isn’t sure if he truly understood the text’s meaning, but at least he grasped what was useful to him.

And this isn't just for martial arts; there are also numerous improvements in other aspects, lifting his realm to a prodigious level. In terms of realm alone, no one can match him now, whereas before, perhaps some could, but none currently can!

This step is quite significant...

“I’m so hungry; why am I feeling this way” When Xianyao regained consciousness, he felt extremely hungry. He didn’t know that he had stood there for three days and nights and, like others in such situations, was unaware of the passage of time.

In these circumstances, it seemed as though only moments had passed since his arrival!

"It's normal to feel hungry; you've been here for three days!" A voice came over, and this voice seemed unfamiliar to Xiaoyao.

Xiaoyao looked back and found an old man standing not far behind him. The old man had white hair and beard, giving a feeling of being ethereal and otherworldly. From the angle where he stood, it was more likely that he was looking at the stone tablet rather than waiting for Xiaoyao to wake up.

Indeed, the old man wasn't waiting for Xiaoyao but observing the stone tablet. Upon seeing that Xiaoyao had grasped something from it, he decided to stay there and see if he could gain some insight himself.

Not just him, many others also had this idea and were standing behind Xiaoyao; initially, there were quite a few people but as time passed, fewer remained. Even those who stayed had gone back to sleep after eating and then returned again.

"May I ask how to address you" Xiaoyao asked politely with a bow. One must maintain courtesy when addressing elders.

“I am Tian Yi, the headmaster of this place,” the old man replied, introducing himself. It turned out he was actually the headmaster of Immortal Doctor Peak, which somewhat surprised Xiaoyao.

Of course, it wasn't about being surprised that Tian Yi appeared here but rather about unexpectedly meeting him under such circumstances. Nevertheless, this surprise was only slight.

"Youngster Xiaoyao, I've been troubling you for a few days," Xiaoyao said respectfully with clasped hands.

“No trouble at all. With more people around recently anyway, one less person doesn't matter much. Also, perhaps we are the ones disturbing you,” Tian Yi shook his head and smiled gently as he replied.

"Mutual disturbance," Xiaoyao laughed back; he felt quite good about this Immortal Doctor Peak's headmaster, not just because of his age but more so due to his tone and attitude.

At that moment, Xiaoyao didn't ask why there were suddenly many people. Perhaps it was related to the villagers with strange illnesses, but either way, these matters weren't his concern.

"Please enter for a meal first, young friend. Later, someone will lead you to your room to rest; I believe you must be very tired." Tian Yi said, as expected of an elder, he considered others and decided to hold off on discussing things further.

Xiaoyao didn't refuse; now his stomach was hungry, and his body needed rest. Naturally, he accepted the arrangements, ate, rested, and everything would wait until tomorrow.

No incident overnight...

After a full night's sleep, Xiaoyao woke up when it was already noon. This long and comfortable sleep should be followed by sparring with Tian Yi and others on medical arts; he was ready for that.

However, what Xiaoyao prepared for seemed to have changed—Tian Yi didn't come!

Was it because of the headmaster's dignity that Tian Yi didn't approach this junior Theoretically speaking, even if so, he should send someone to call him, not leave anyone behind.

Xiaoyao looked at the sun in the sky; a cloudless blue sky was beautiful and especially so here in this fairy-like place. This clear blue sky seemed more beautiful under these conditions, pure and natural beauty indeed.

Xiaoyao had not raised his head to look at the sky for quite some time and couldn't help but sigh: Sometimes wonderful things are right beside us; perhaps we just need to lift our heads or bow them down, pause a moment...

Overall, such beauty is always within reach yet often overlooked by people.

However, Xiaoyao didn’t gaze at the sky for long as he felt hungry and wanted something to eat. Although not very familiar with this place, where meals were served, he knew it from yesterday's experience.

Speaking of which, Run-Run was nowhere to be seen. Oh well, perhaps she went searching for food; if she had followed him while he was in deep thought these days, she would have starved to death long ago.

When Xiaoyao reached the dining hall, there wasn't anyone inside, not even in the kitchen, but many breakfast dishes were present. He didn’t ponder on this strange situation; instead, he directly picked some food and then thought about what had happened when done eating.

"Strange, where did everyone go Did something happen or was it a supernatural event" Xiaoyao wondered while biting into his breakfast, also searching for other dishes. He found a plate of steamed dumplings and took it out as well.

To confirm whether this is a supernatural event, he must look around; if everyone disappeared from here, then undoubtedly it would be categorized as one. However, the probability was very low.

After searching for a while, Xiaoyao realized that it wasn't any supernatural occurrence but an emergency. Everyone had gone to help at the front plaza, hence no one could be found in this area.based, where one presents a question and the other responds with their own. They usually proceed in a calm and peaceful manner, without much intensity."Miss Three, let's wait a moment. Let them procee...
