Peerless Little Immortal Doctor

Chapter 2234 - 2239: Variables

Sensing the sudden ferocious aura ahead.Xia Wei had a bad premonition.

These past few days, he kept coming over to provoke the Spirit Beast guarding the Divine Medicine.

He'd probably enraged the Spirit Beast.

This time, things were going to be even harder to handle!

A Nascent Soul Late Stage Spirit Beast was enough to crush a Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivator.

In raw strength that was so, but Cultivators possessed supreme Spirit Wisdom.

They could win treasures with cunning.

But if the Spirit Beast guarding the Divine Medicine was too High-Strength.

Any strategy or scheme would likely be useless.

Right now this was exactly what Xia Wei was nervous about.

If there was more than one Nascent Soul Late Stage Spirit Beast up ahead.

Then if he stepped into the area.

His physical body might be torn to pieces!

The reason he brought Fu Wu and Xia Liu here.

Was because he no longer had much confidence in plucking the Divine Medicine under an enraged Spirit Beast's nose.

And there wasn't much Divine Medicine left growing.

There was no point keeping the medicine-producing spot hidden anymore.

He didn't want to die and be buried in this desolate, chaotic wasteland.

"A Spirit Beast with power comparable to Nascent Soul Late Stage, huh!"

Fu Wu was also shocked by this situation.

If that Spirit Beast's strength were only Nascent Soul Mid-Stage.

They could still use schemes to lure it away and finally pluck the Divine Medicine.

But the other side had such terrifying strength.

No matter how meticulous the scheme, what use would it be?

They simply couldn't tangle with it.

"Sigh, looks like Elder Liu will have a hard time seizing this stroke of fortune!"

Fu Wu shook his head helplessly.

With a lineup like this, even ten Nascent Soul Early Stage Cultivators probably couldn't break through.

"Sect Master Xia, Hall Master Fu, please wait here a moment, I'll go see what exactly has changed over there."

Xia Liu had already locked onto the source of the aura from just now.

Even if Xia Wei and Fu Wu didn't dare go forward.

He still had to go take a look.

Before the two could respond, Xia Liu vanished from where he stood.

Sensing Xia Liu appear several li away, Xia Wei's face changed drastically.

"We can't let him rush in there alone!"

A Nascent Soul Early Stage Spirit Beast had already left a deep impression on Xia Wei.

Though Xia Liu had strength comparable to a Nascent Soul, his foundation was only Golden Pill Late Stage.

With such meager power, how could he possibly clash head-on with a Nascent Soul Late Stage Spirit Beast!

Helpless, Xia Wei and Fu Wu quickly flew through the air.

Planning to stop Xia Liu.

But when they reached a lakeside, what they saw almost dumbfounded them.

On the lake, there were five Giant Beasts.

A violent aura radiated from their bodies.

All five were Spirit Beasts at Nascent Soul Mid-Stage!

They were all of one kind, with horse bodies and leopard heads!

"These are Thousand Miles Leopards!"

"Rumor has it Thousand Miles Leopards are incredibly fast. Even Nascent Soul Cultivators can barely keep up with them, but can't truly catch them!"

"An adult Thousand Miles Leopard possesses strength comparable to a Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivator!"

"These Thousand Miles Leopards aren't fully grown, but they're close enough!"

"We're in real trouble today!"

When they discovered the Exotic Force of the Thousand Miles Leopards had already locked onto them, Xia Wei and Fu Wu gave bitter smiles.

Damn it, Xia Wei still clearly remembered.

When he came to harvest medicine before, the Spirit Beast guarding this place was just some ordinary type, with a gentle disposition.

Unless it was thoroughly enraged, it wouldn't attack at random.

Now it was different.

The Thousand Miles Leopard was notorious for its ferocity.

Their food was other Spirit Beasts, as well as Human Race Cultivators!

Xia Liu's eyes held no Thousand Miles Leopards.

His gaze was locked on the far end of the lakeshore.

There was a smooth cliff face there.

On the cliff, a vine trailed down from somewhere above the unseen peak.

And on that vine, six stalks of Divine Medicine exactly the same as the one Xia Wei had given him earlier were hanging!

It seemed Xia Wei had indeed taken medicine from here.

Unfortunately, five powerful Spirit Beasts had appeared—this was simply deadly!

What Xia Liu found odd, though, was this.

These Spirit Beasts didn't seem to have much Spirit Wisdom.

He clearly remembered that back in the Kunwu Realm.

Even a Beast King with only Foundation Establishment Cultivation could speak.

And could even transform into human form.

Could it be that Spirit Beasts in the Cultivation Realm needed to reach an even higher rank to take human form?

No, that didn't make sense. Nascent Soul Stage was probably already their limit.

If they couldn't take human form.

And given how special this place was.

They might be Spirit Beasts raised by some mighty expert! Ignorant Spiritual Objects kept here specifically to guard this place!

Once he figured this out, Xia Liu immediately became vigilant.

There might be a powerhouse hidden nearby, closely tied to everything behind this place!

Sure enough, when Xia Liu focused his Divine Sense and concentrated carefully.

He discovered an even greater power hidden deep in the lake.

If his guess was right, that should be the Nascent Soul Late Stage Spirit Beast that had let out that roar earlier!

Its entire body was jet black, with a huge, sharp proboscis extending from its ferocious mouth.

It was basically a mutated giant mosquito!

Here, it should be called a Mosquito Beast!

Any normal person seeing such a monster would probably get a fright.

Xia Liu was the same.

But he calmed down quickly.

It was just a Mosquito Beast with Nascent Soul Late Stage strength.

If push came to shove, he could burst out with Nascent Soul Mid-Stage power to drive it back.

Those six Divine Medicines—he had to obtain them!

"Elder Liu, do you have any ideas now?"

Fu Wu asked.

If only Fu Wu and Xia Wei were here at the scene.

They wouldn't even have to think about it; they'd immediately turn around and run.

But Fu Wu could see the hunger in Xia Liu's eyes for those six Divine Medicines.

Unless it came to an absolutely critical moment.

Fu Wu would never abandon Xia Liu.

"I want to try swallowing all six Divine Medicines at once and see if it has any effect."

Xia Liu answered very seriously.

"Elder Liu, are you insane? Those are five Thousand Miles Leopards!"

Fu Wu nearly jumped up.

He was far too agitated.

Even five Nascent Soul Mid-Stage Thousand Miles Leopards couldn't stop Xia Liu's impulse.

Just how strong was his desire?

Thinking Xia Liu didn't understand how terrifying Thousand Miles Leopards were, Fu Wu explained it all to him.

While the Thousand Miles Leopards hadn't moved yet.

Quietly slipping away now was the best option!

But after listening to Fu Wu detail how frightening Thousand Miles Leopards were, Xia Liu still remained unmoved.

"Elder Liu, listen to us. Let's leave this place for now. When they relax their guard a bit, we'll come back for the medicine."

Xia Wei pondered for a long while.

He also felt leaving now was the best idea.

When these Spirit Beasts loosened up, they could sneak back in.

"Judging by their state, they probably won't leave here for a while. I want to gamble."

"Gamble? Elder Liu, what are you going to gamble with?"

Fu Wu couldn't take it.

Was Xia Liu really intent on blowing this whole thing sky-high?

Setting aside the possibility of other hidden powerful Spirit Beasts.

Once those five Thousand Miles Leopards unleashed their strength, they themselves might not be able to escape.

"I'm betting on speed. I should be able to pluck all the Divine Medicine before they fully unleash their power, then get out of here."

Xia Liu had great confidence in the Heaven and Earth Movement Technique.

If he paired it with Nascent Soul Mid-Stage strength.

Then this time, there really wouldn't be any losses…
