Chapter 825: Chapter 820: Ancient Medicine Town (Fourth Update!)
With two punches and a sword, the dignified Golden Core Stage cultivator was frightened into a hasty retreat. frёeweɓηovel_coɱ
Duan Shiyue, who was watching beside him, was left dumbfounded.
However, Lin Tian didn’t pursue, instead, he retrieved his flying sword with a backhand move.
There was no need to chase down the black-robed old man; he was in a hurry to rush to the Ancient Medicine Sect to save people.
"You... you are a Golden Core Ancestor!"
Duan Shiyue snapped back to reality after a long while, looking at the youth who still stood there calm and collected; she stepped forward, disbelief etched on her face.
Lin Tian raised his young face, estimating, he seemed even younger than her.
Such an evil genius, truly terrifying!
"You might say that!"
Lin Tian nodded slightly, smiling as he replied.
Right now, his cultivation was stuck at the mid-Foundation Establishment Realm due to the appearance of the Yin Yang Platform, very difficult to break through.
Yet his actual combat power was enough to contend with a Golden Core Middle Stage cultivator!
Facing a Golden Core Early Stage, except for those who have condensed a Perfect Level or above Golden Core with the talents of Fission and Divine Hidden, he was confident he could defeat them.
It’s not an exaggeration to say he is a Golden Core cultivator!
But Duan Shiyue suddenly thought of something, mustering the courage to boldly ask, "Then... then this appearance of yours, is it your actual age? Or are you an old monster that’s lived for hundreds of years?"
"Old monster? You might say that!"
Lin Tian laughed freely, but after pondering he added, "However, my actual age is just as I appear now!"
This sounded somewhat contradictory.
But the soul within Lin Tian had already lived for countless millennia in his previous life.
Yet his actual bodily age now was precisely that of an eighteen-year-old youth.
He couldn’t possibly tell Duan Shiyue that he had been reborn from the Immortal Domain Continent, could he?
So, this was the only explanation he could give.
But Duan Shiyue didn’t think that much, she only heard the latter part of Lin Tian’s words, her beautiful eyes widened in shock, exclaiming, "My God, are you a monster? I’ve been cultivating since I was a child, and even now, after over ten years, I’m only at the Qi Refining Fifth Level, you... you’re simply not human!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Tian couldn’t help twitching the corners of his mouth.
It was then that Duan Shiyue realized what she had misspoken, apologizing somewhat hesitantly, "I didn’t mean it that way, I mean, your talent is amazing!"
After learning Lin Tian’s actual age, Duan Shiyue was no longer so nervous and restrained.
"Alright, since I saved you this time, how do you plan to thank me?"
Lin Tian waved his hand, winking as he smiled at Duan Shiyue.
"Ah..."
Duan Shiyue was first stunned, then as if thinking of something, her pretty face blushed, she quickly lowered her head, her eyes carrying a hint of shyness, her heart pounding like a little deer, extremely nervous.
If he asks for something excessive, what should I do?
Should I agree or refuse?
If I refuse, will he just leave and ignore me?
Such an excellent man, should I seize the opportunity?
In an instant, Duan Shiyue’s mind was in turmoil, and before Lin Tian could continue speaking, she suddenly looked up, quivering her lips, blushing as she said, "I’m willing... I’m willing, whatever you say, I’ll do!"
Seeing the girl’s reaction, Lin Tian was stunned at first, then helplessly shook his head, saying, "Follow me!"
With that, Lin Tian took the lead, walking toward the place where he had thrown Miao Feiyun.
Behind them.
Duan Shiyue hesitated, her face flushed with embarrassment.
She stood there, hesitating for a while, before finally following step by step.
Her face was as red as the sunset, her expression both anxious and expectant, extremely complex.
Soon, they arrived at the place, Lin Tian scanned the surroundings, his brows furrowed.
The figure of Miao Feiyun was no longer there.
Lin Tian’s Divine Sense spread out, probing a ten-kilometer radius, but also failed to spot the other party’s figure.
He actually escaped!
"Forget it!"
Miao Feiyun’s cultivation had been crippled, and now with Duan Shiyue to guide him, Lin Tian wasn’t bothered to search.
"Ah... forget it?"
Suddenly hearing Lin Tian’s words, Duan Shiyi was stunned, then showed a face full of disappointment, "Do you... do you dislike me?"
"How could I dislike you?"
Lin Tian smiled wryly and said, "Weren’t you going to thank me? Take me to the Ancient Medicine Sect! I need to save someone, the people from the Holy Gu Sect have captured my friend! I suppose you and your family came here because of the Holy Gu Sect, right? We can help each other!"
Earlier, Lin Tian had thought things over. If the situation allowed, he could let Duan Shiyue go rescue Leng Shuangning and the others.
If he directly stormed in, and the other side used Leng Shuangning as a threat or got furious, Leng Shuangning and the others could be in greater danger.
At the very least, he couldn’t let those people know he was coming to save someone.
"Ah... you want me to take you there?"
Duan Shiyue was startled again, finally understanding Lin Tian’s purpose, with some disappointment on her face, she said, "I see. With me and my family going there, we won’t be discovered by the Holy Gu Sect. And you’ll help me, won’t you? You’re a friend of my sister’s, so you wouldn’t ignore us!"
At this moment, thinking of Lin Tian’s strength, maybe he could handle the Holy Gu Sect, and her family wouldn’t have to be threatened anymore, Duan Shiyue’s mood instantly improved.
"Alright, you lead the way!"
Lin Tian smiled and nodded, then reached out to grab Duan Shiyue’s waist, stepping onto the sword, and they soared away swiftly.
Suddenly being held, Duan Shiyue let out an exclamation, her delicate body stiffening, but as she sensed the pleasant scent from Lin Tian, her heart gradually settled.
Following Duan Shiyue’s lead, after an hour, a town situated between a vast forest and barren mountains came into view.
The town had only one road connecting to the outside world, with the occasional sight of a passing vehicle.
According to Duan Shiyue’s introduction, the people of Ancient Medicine Town had lived for generations by picking and planting herbal medicine, with a famous herbal medicine plantation base; it was quite renowned in the entire Southwest.
The Duan Family had developed there, and later, when her grandfather showed cultivation talent, he entered the Ancient Medicine Sect, further expanding the family.
However, a few years ago, her grandfather was framed, expelled from the Ancient Medicine Sect, and the whole Duan family was implicated, with even clansmen from the Logging Village losing their lives, simply because her grandfather was unwilling to fight the Great Elder in the sect, and clansmen who helped him suffered many casualties.
Later, an envoy from the Holy Gu Sect arrived, sided with the Great Elder, and declared her grandfather defected from the sect, exiled permanently as punishment.
But as small as the loss of life was, the burden of a wrongful accusation was something her grandfather could not bear; he went to the Ancient Medicine Sect again, swearing to clear his name.
After Duan Shiyue’s explanation, Lin Tian somewhat understood the grudges between the Duan Family and the Ancient Medicine Sect.
"Lin... Lin Tian, let me take you to meet my grandfather and sister first! Tomorrow we’ll go to the Ancient Medicine Sect together!"
After entering Ancient Medicine Town, Duan Shiyue led the way in front.
With a gentle nod, Lin Tian followed behind, having already decided that as long as Leng Shuangning and the others were safe, he would personally level the Holy Gu Sect!
Ancient Medicine Town was small, with only a few streets.
Soon, Lin Tian followed Duan Shiyue to a typical courtyard located deep in a small alley.
They walked in to see nearly twenty people already gathered inside, men and women, old and young, but all adults, no weak old or women and children.
Among these people, Lin Tian saw Duan Shiyi and her grandparents among three others.
"Little Yue, where did you go? You almost worried us to death!"
The people inside noticed the now appearing Duan Shiyue and exclaimed in surprise.
"Sister, are you okay?"
Duan Shiyi rushed forward, face filled with fear.
"I’m finally okay now! I was captured by a Golden Core cultivator..."
Duan Shiyue, filled with lingering fear, said, looking very apprehensive.
What!
The faces of the Duan family members changed dramatically, showing terror.
"You... you’re not joking, right? How could our Duan Family offend such a legendary figure? That would be a Golden Core Ancestor!"
Many couldn’t believe it, including Duan Shiyue’s grandparents; that was a Golden Core Ancestor, no need to capture people for no reason.
Duan Shiyi looked at her sister, seeing no injuries, she immediately said, "Sister, how did you escape safely?"
"Lin Tian saved me!"
Duan Shiyue turned her head, pointing at Lin Tian who was walking behind.
Everyone suddenly looked up, only then noticing Lin Tian walking behind Duan Shiyue.
"Ah, it’s you!"
Duan Shiyi clearly recognized Lin Tian, immediately surprised.
"You girl, you are teasing your grandfather and uncle again!"
At this moment, the old man, Duan Shiyue’s grandfather Duan Boxin, shook his head and scoffed wryly, "We’ve met this young man, you were captured by a Golden Core cultivator, and he saved you? You think your grandfather is old and confused!"
