43 -42: Acquiring the Purple Blood Vine_1
With ambitions high as the sky and a life as fragile as paper, this was the true portrayal of a Rebel Clansman.
Despite his formidable strength, he bore an endless resentment as his soul descended into the Netherworld.
The valley, previously filled with the sounds of combat, became eerily silent at this moment.
Apart from Xiao Chen and Master Hu Guyue, there were no other signs of life.
Gently withdrawing his long spear, Xiao Chen instantly felt drained.
He sighed quietly.
Nobody else knew that if it were not for his constant medicinal baths and self-disciplined body refinement that resulted in an extraordinarily resilient body, he, Xiao Chen, might have been the one to fall today.
After enduring multiple medicinal baths, Xiao Chen’s internal organs had already become extraordinarily robust, and under the influence of the latent medicinal power, they began to glow with vitality.
Consequently, due to the increased density of Xiao Chen’s body, his weight had also increased.
By now, his body mass already exceeded two thousand pounds, and he could instantly display a strength of fifty thousand pounds.
Additionally, with the amplification of his combat qi, it was not impossible for him to battle against those of a higher rank.
While Xiao Chen stood still, reflecting on the course of the combat, Master Hu Guyue’s voice traveled over to him, “Clan Leader Xiao, I am amazed by your performance in this battle.
With this victory, in the next Border Wasteland Region Young Genius Ranking contest, you will qualify to compete with the other prodigies for the top spot and bring glory to the Great Wasteland.”
The frankVoice startled Xiao Chen from his reflection.
He slowly mobilized his body to shake off the fatigue.
When he lifted his head again, a pair of eyes filled with immense confidence shot out.
“Master Hu’s praise is too generous.
The people who compete for the Young Genius Ranking are all exceptional prodigies.
I’m still far behind,” Xiao Chen replied modestly, amid a light chuckle.
The discussion regarding the young genius ranking was still quite distant for him, and this place was not suitable to discuss such matters.
Surveying his surroundings, Xiao Chen’s gaze pierced through the thick blood mist, taking in the view of the entire valley.
Nearly a hundred remaining rebel clan fighters were scattered haphazardly, lying lifeless on the blood-stained earth, their flesh sprayed all over the place.
Suddenly, he realized something and turned to Hu Guyue, saying, “Master Hu, as I recall, I heard those two human traitors say that in the gathering place of these rebel clansmen, there are two warriors in the Blood Realm.
But only one is present.”
“Ah, I’m old.
I made a blunder.
I forgot to leave a living mouth to interrogate,” Hu Guyue touched his forehead lightly, his face feeling slightly hot as he spoke.
He was embarrassed that he had killed all the rebels without leaving any survivors.
After decades of experience and witnessing too many tragedies of humankind, seeing these human traitors ignited the killing intent in his heart.
His only thought was to send these traitors to hell.
Therefore, he showed no mercy.
Every stroke of his was fatal, leading to instant death.
“Today indeed is his lucky day, since he wasn’t in the valley.
But there will always be a chance to eradicate this scourge in the future.”
After completely scouring the valley, Xiao Chen didn’t find any valuable items.
He could only sigh at the extreme poverty of these people and decide to give it up.
After all, the reason they came to the Bloodfallen land was not solely to kill these monsters.
This was just a trivial task for them.
Since they encountered them, they removed these cancers for the human race on the way.
Their primary task was to find the Purple Blood Vine.
“Master Hu, the Purple Blood Vine grows on the mountain and coiled around the stone, it’s extremely attracted to blood.
This valley, surrounded by mountains and filled with nearly tens of thousands of corpses, the blood qi is exceptionally rich.
There might be a presence of the Purple Blood Vine here.”
Next, the two of them were continuously rappelling and leaping around the cliffs surrounding the valley, striving to find the Purple Blood Vine.
Whether in crevices or steep cliffs, every place was searched meticulously by the two.
In the end, they found nothing.
“It seems that there’s no Purple Blood Vine in this valley.
This unnamed hill is at least ten miles wide.
Let’s go and search other places.”
After a long fruitless search, the two decided to shift their area of search and continue their investigation in other regions of the unnamed hill.
Before leaving, Xiao Chen set a large fire in the valley.
Whether innocent commoners or traitors, everything under this raging flame returned to dust.
The grievances and resentments were settled here and now.
On the quiet unnamed hill, due to long-term erosion by the blood mist, the surface of the mountain appeared barren from a distance, with only a few withered trees scattered sporadically.
It was completely silent, and not even an animal could be seen.
Two agile figures were continuously appearing and disappearing on the steep mountain wall.
Each time they arrived at a place, they paused briefly.
Upon not finding what they were looking for, they headed in another direction.
“Found it!”
Suddenly, a figure that was previously flickering non-stop came to a halt at the edge of a steep cliff and shouted loudly.
An older figure in the distance heard the young man’s call and swiftly rushed toward the cliff.
His gaze swept the edge of the cliff and his murky eyes suddenly lit up, decisive on the giant stone protruding from the cliff.
“One section…two sections…fifty-five sections; this Purple Blood Vine is about five hundred and fifty years old.
It’s enough for alchemy use.” After seeing the Purple Blood Vine, Hu Guyue was extremely excited.
He couldn’t resist counting the age of the Purple Blood Vine.
In fact, with his current level of martial arts, a quick scan would be enough to observe the exact number of sections on the Purple Blood Vine, without the need to count it section by section.
As a revered Alchemy Master, he was fully aware of how to carefully extract and preserve the medicinal quality of an herb.
In this regard, Xiao Chen was no match; hence, he stood aside without saying a word.
He quietly watched as the old man painstakingly extracted the Purple Blood Vine from its root and gently placed it in a pre-prepared jade box, which was then stored in a space bracelet.
After stowing away the Purple Blood Vine, Xiao Chen and Hu Guyue continued to explore the unnamed hill in search of more.
After all, the treatment of Mu Yun Tian’s body required a consistent and prolonged treatment.
A single Purple Blood Vine could not sustain for an exorbitant amount of time.
Perhaps the luck was in their favor.
In the subsequent period, they managed to collect several more Purple Blood Vines, varying in age.
The oldest one was nearly four hundred years old, which was the biggest gain of the trip.
After a day’s endeavor, both Xiao Chen and Hu Guyue had successfully collected enough medicinal materials.
However, once this was over, the Purple Blood Vine on the unnamed hill was completely exhausted.
Future generations could now only look at the hill with regret.
