Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?-Chapter 318 - 260: Brotherhood Comes at a Price

"You dog, how dare you show your face in front of me again, Lao Si!"

Miao Zuesen fled all the way, crossing over a hundred miles in the Eastern Territory, and on the way back to Celestial City Peak, a figure was waiting ahead.

Upon closer inspection, wasn’t it that old ghost Luo Yuqi, just seeing him made Miao Zuesen’s anger flare.

This dog dragged them to the East Sea, promised things that weren’t delivered, and even got the brothers trapped.

Moreover, this bastard was the first to run away, utterly shameless.

Luo Yuqi had obviously foreseen this situation. Given his understanding of them, none of them were the kind to fight to the death without retreat.

Having roamed the Cultivator Realm for so many years, when have they not left when the situation was dire?

Otherwise, they wouldn’t be so notorious.

He expected that someone would escape, but he didn’t know how many or who would make it out, so he could only wait here.

This was the path back to Celestial City Peak, and they would have to pass through here.

Facing Miao Zuesen’s questioning, Luo Yuqi took out something he had long prepared: a few black vines, still with soil, and white roots quite dense.

"This is..."

Seeing what he had in his hand, Miao Zuesen hesitated and kept his mouth shut.

Luo Yuqi smiled, lifting the vines in his hand. He had sneaked to cut these off, the Jade Dew Buddha Hand, during the battle once his breathing calmed.

The Buddha Hand part had been cut off, and what remained was the medicinal stump, namely the rootstock to the roots. As long as it was brought back, it could be transplanted and cultivated.

These were all over a hundred years old, which was what they called old medicine.

Old medicine was hard to find; if it had been cultivated to this age, no one would sell the entire plant.

Seeing Luo Yuqi nonchalantly split out two roots, handing them over, Miao Zuesen silently accepted them.

Immediately, his expression was still unsatisfied because he saw that the other party still seemed to have four roots in his hand.

He spoke deeply, "Lao Si, this isn’t fair. You abandoned us and ran away. Don’t you know that Lao Er and Lao San were trapped because of you?"

Luo Yuqi’s face darkened. He quickly gripped the old medicine in his hand and spoke cautiously.

"So what do you want, big brother?"

Miao Zuesen thought for a moment, then sighed, "I was as close as brothers with Lao Er and Lao San."

"You have to give me two more roots."

This...

Luo Yuqi looked troubled. He only had four roots left; even if he was careful when refining pills, he needed to keep at least two for himself.

So in the end, he would at most have two left, which he also planned to cultivate himself. If he gave them all to the big brother, he’d have nothing left!

After a moment of hesitation, he reluctantly gave another one.

Seeing the dissatisfaction on the other’s face, he spoke with pained conviction.

"I see Lao Er and Lao San like brothers, I am also very saddened. I’ll give you half, one more root!"

"Alright then!"

In the end, Luo Yuqi’s shamelessness persuaded him. Miao Zuesen’s face softened, and he accepted it with a nod.

Then he looked at the other, waiting for what was to come.

They were all old foxes, so there was no pretending. Having roamed together for so many years, anyone could tell what the other was up to.

Knowing Luo Yuqi’s nature, Miao Zuesen knew there must be something else, otherwise, he wouldn’t be so kind as to wait here for the loot-sharing. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Sure enough, after dividing the loot, Luo Yuqi spoke again.

He flew to Miao Zuesen’s side, leaning close and spoke.

"Big brother, you see, Lao Er and Lao San were trapped there, their fate unknown, should we..."

Before he finished, Miao Zuesen interrupted him, casting a glance and snorting.

"Speak plain language."

Uh...

Luo Yuqi awkwardly rephrased, "You see, isn’t that cave very peculiar? And that spirit body."

In his narration, it was clear that the spirit body was no ordinary thing. It was a seemingly ordinary cave, yet it could grow spirit medicine without the use of a single Spirit Stone.

Indeed, there are places naturally rich in Spiritual Qi created by heaven and earth, but never a single cave with such overwhelming Spiritual Qi.

So, it must be related to the spirit body.

And the appearance of a spirit body often signifies something!

Opportunity, treasure!

"Don’t you, big brother, want it too?"

Luo Yuqi spoke with an enticing tone.

Miao Zuesen knew this as well, especially after hearing it, his greedy heart started stirring.

It’s just... thinking of Han Yu’s strength, he couldn’t help but shiver.

Four, no, three in the Realm of Transcendence were beaten to such a sorry state, what good was a plot!

"When we get back to Celestial City Peak, we can gather the other brothers."

This was something Luo Yuqi had thought of long ago. Since three Transcendent Cultivators plus himself injured weren’t enough, they should quickly recover after returning, and then they could all join forces instead.

"You think that kid doesn’t have any hidden cards?"

Miao Zuesen wasn’t as optimistic as him; careful planning can last a lifetime, treasures are only useful when one is alive.

Seeing this, Luo Yuqi changed his approach and said, "Celestial City Peak isn’t just ours!"

Miao Zuesen was startled at these words, for indeed, Celestial City Peak was home to many eccentric pharmacists, all gathered under their name.

Some sought protection, as they weren’t accepted by the Righteous Path or by the secular world. Likewise, they were fellow practitioners who could exchange insights.

However, the pharmacists there had weak cultivation! Calling them a ragtag bunch was flattering.

At most, they were in Great Perfection, with others in the Divine Gaze Realm, and those reasonably worth mentioning were barely a hundred or so.

And they might not even listen to their command.

"That’s easy, promise them the Pill Formula. A little spill from us, and they’ll be overjoyed."

"At worst, I’ll tear out half of my Poison Scripture to give to them."

Goodness, the nickname Poison King was well-deserved, he’s truly venomous!

Miao Zuesen gave him a strange look, for the so-called Poison Scripture was full of concocted Pill Formulas by this dog, with perhaps only a hundred validated useful ones.

Considering how thick that Poison Scripture was, it was truly a treacherous trap.

"What good are a hundred Divine Gaze Realm cultivators; beneath Transcendence, all are ants."

Miao Zuesen remained unconvinced.

Luo Yuqi immediately grew anxious, quickly saying, "But ants in numbers can kill an elephant, and we’re not targeting that kid specifically. At that time, we let this crowd distract him, and we six will seize the treasure."

"By then, if we can avenge Lao Er and Lao San in passing, that would be best. If not, we’ll retreat!"

All these were plans he had already devised.

Surely, six from the Realm of Transcendence couldn’t be defeated by Han Yu to the extent of being unable to protect themselves?

Moreover, he couldn’t believe that six from the Realm of Transcendence couldn’t manage something against him.

"Are you confident?"

Miao Zuesen was still hesitant.

Seeing this, Luo Yuqi could only throw up his hands and sigh.

"You don’t need me to explain what the spirit body signifies, just tell me if you want it or not?"

"Let’s do it! Let’s go rally more people."

Ultimately, Miao Zuesen was moved, and he clenched his fists, speaking with determination.
