Medical Sage

North Side Area of Eagle Gorge, Cloud Dragon Mountain.

Within a secret chamber among the cliffs shrouded in clouds and mist, the current Sect Master of Cloud Dragon Mountain, Blackwind, was dressed in a grayish-yellow long robe, his face slightly twitching, appearing enviously sinister. In his eyes, a color named ’rage’ was also reverberating, his gaze blood-red.

”Sect Master!”

At this moment, a voice that similarly seemed to contain tooth-grinding hatred echoed in the hall. A bald elder in a purple robe stood up from the first seat to the right of Blackwind, gritting his teeth angrily.

”Sect Master! This time, that beast from Canglan Island has gone too far. Not only did he kill Luo Pang, but Zhou Long and Qin Liefeng were also slaughtered by him! He’s blatantly disregarding our Cloud Dragon Mountain. He’s too audacious!”

The bald elder in the purple robe also had slightly terrifying purple eyes, and his presence exuded a terrifying oppressive aura! It was almost on par with the aura of Blackwind.

Obviously, this bald elder in the purple robe was by no means an ordinary person. To be able to have an aura on par with the enraged Blackwind proved that this person at least possessed the strength of the Peak of Qi Refining Ninth Layer.

In fact, that was indeed the case.

This bald elder in the purple robe was named Changjun Taoist, occupying the top position among the Five Guardian Elders of Cloud Dragon Mountain! He was the strongest among them.

”Hmph!” Hearing Changjun Taoist’s words, Blackwind’s expression became even gloomier, letting out a cold snort.

”Audacious, so what if he’s audacious? Do we really intend for Cloud Dragon Mountain to go to war with Canglan Island because of those three? Don’t forget, besides that old codger Cang Kun, there’s also Blue Whale.” Blackwind’s face was overcast.

Though the deaths of Zhou Long, Luo Pang, and Qin Liefeng made Cloud Dragon Mountain completely lose face, what of it?

Could Cloud Dragon Mountain truly wage war with Canglan Island for Zhou Long, Luo Pang, and Qin Liefeng?

Thinking of the combat power of those two old codgers, Blackwind felt stifled inside, yet, what could he do!?

After all, even he himself was once chased like a stray dog by that old codger Blue Whale. In the end, although Ancestor Yu Tan, the Ancestor of the Foundation Establishment True Person Realm of Cloud Dragon Mountain, personally intervened, isn’t the opponent still alive and well?

Failing to kill them once, could Ancestor Yu Tan be expected to make a fool of himself again?

It’s more likely a dream.

”But, can we really just let it go?” Upon hearing Blackwind’s words, several high-ranking officials of Cloud Dragon Mountain couldn’t help but change their expressions, looking frustrated. Changjun Taoist, unwilling, said.

With the deaths of Zhou Long, Luo Pang, and Qin Liefeng, Cloud Dragon Mountain had lost all face. Without any remedial measures, how would outsiders perceive and ridicule them?

”Then tell me what to do?”

Blackwind’s face was as dark as water, and his voice was stifled: ”Cang Kun and Blue Whale, those two old codgers, always stick together. Since Cang Kun made a move this time, Blue Whale must have been involved too. Saying nothing of others, just those two, who in Cloud Dragon Mountain is a match for them?”

”Isn’t there still the Ancestor?” Another Guardian Elder of Cloud Dragon Mountain couldn’t help but blurt out, questioning. Even if they couldn’t defeat those two beasts, don’t forget that Cloud Dragon Mountain still had an Ancestor of the Foundation Establishment Foundation True Person Realm, Yu Tan Taoist.

However, just as he uttered this, even he sensed something was wrong. The others in the hall cast peculiar glances at him, making him uneasy.

”The Ancestor, last time, failed to kill that old codger Cang Kun, and now, the Ancestor’s old wounds and hidden injuries are worse than before, so...even if he is willing to come out again, he may not be able to handle Cang Kun and Blue Whale.”

Changjun Taoist’s face was dark as water, cursing inwardly: ”Damn it! If not for the hidden injuries left from that battle back then, wouldn’t the Ancestor be able to handle those two beasts now!?”

Hearing this, the Guardian Elder who blurted out and the others couldn’t help but feel frustrated and bitter. Does this mean that such a huge loss must be swallowed by Cloud Dragon Mountain obediently? If word got out, how would the outside world laugh at them? Wouldn’t they be called cowards, timid as mice?

Seeing them like this, Blackwind frowned slightly, but then spoke with a cold smile: ”Alright, don’t wear those pitiful faces. Just because Cloud Dragon Mountain doesn’t care about this matter now doesn’t mean that we won’t care in the future.”

”Sect Master, what do you mean?” Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this. Then someone came to their senses, hiding excitement and joy in their expressions, and asked.

”We must admit, Cang Kun and Blue Whale, below the Foundation Establishment True Person Realm, are invincible! At least, within our Eagle Gorge Area, this is the case. However, if they think that just because of this, they can trample on us at Cloud Dragon Mountain, they are gravely mistaken! Hmph!”

In Blackwind’s eyes, a trace of cold light flashed, and then as if he remembered something exciting, he spoke rapidly, ”Regarding the ancestor’s dark ailment. Our people have successfully purchased a Ghost Face Spider Cloud Grass and half a Luo Fruit from the Giant Horn Mountain Range.”

”What!? Ghost Face Spider Cloud Grass and half a Luo Fruit?” Upon hearing this, the purple-robed Bald Head Changjun Taoist couldn’t help but exclaim excitedly. He stood up directly, his gaze burning towards Blackwind.

”The Ghost Face Spider Cloud Grass can just cure the ancestor’s dark ailment. The Luo Fruit is a life treasure that can extend longevity, and even half of it is definitely a great tonic for the ancestor’s current situation! Sect Master, is this news really true?”

The others finally came to their senses at this moment, their faces full of excitement. If this news is indeed true, wouldn’t the ancestor’s dark ailment be solved?

By that time, our Cloud Dragon Mountain’s only Ancestor of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm will recover as before, even breaking and standing anew. Those two beasts of Canglan Island, what would they even be worth then!?

”Of course, it’s true. In at most half a month, the Ghost Face Spider Cloud Grass and half a Luo Fruit will be brought back and presented to the ancestor. By then, as for Canglan Island, Cang Kun, Blue Whale, ha, they can all go to hell! If our Cloud Dragon Mountain doesn’t crush them into dust, it would be strange!”

”That’s for sure!” The Changjun Taoist and others couldn’t help but echo excitedly upon hearing this.

The stronger Cloud Dragon Mountain becomes, the more remarkable they can be! It’s a mutually beneficial process.

Swish!

Just at that moment, a purple light descended from the sky, quickly swept in from outside the secret room, and landed in Blackwind’s palm.

”A Communication Talisman?” Blackwind’s eyebrows furrowed slightly as he opened the Communication Talisman, and after a moment…

”What!?” His face suddenly became excited.

”What’s going on? Sect Master, what happened?” Seeing this scene, the people in the secret room looked at each other. The purple-robed Bald Head Changjun Taoist couldn’t help but ask.

”What’s going on? A major event, a great event!” Blackwind’s face was full of excitement and greed, and he even stuck out his tongue to lick it before taking a deep breath and slowly speaking, ”Do you know that within the territory of the Enlightened Deity Cave, there is a Black Profound Copper Vein?”

”Black Profound Copper Vein? It seems like there is such a thing...” The Changjun Taoist frowned and thought for a moment, just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Blackwind.

”The spy reported. Deep within the Enlightened Deity Cave Black Profound Copper Vein, there seems to be a hidden micro Black Profound Copper Essence Vein.” Blackwind said in a very fast pace.

”What!? Micro Black Profound Copper Essence Vein? Is it real or fake!?”

As Blackwind’s voice fell, almost everyone in the secret room shuddered violently, and then, intense light and greed appeared in those pairs of eyes. Even the purple-robed Bald Head Changjun Taoist couldn’t help but have his pupils shrink, his eyes shaking.

”Sect Master, is this news true? Micro Black Profound Copper Essence Vein… where did this news come from?” The Changjun Taoist’s voice could not hide the vibration, but he still forcibly suppressed his agitated emotions and asked.

”It was found by our people inside the Red Lion Cave. It seems not only did the Red Lion Daoist die, but even three of the four elders died as well. Those three people were directly sent by the Red Lion Daoist, secretly split into two groups, to attack the Enlightened Deity Cave Black Profound Copper Vein.” Blackwind closed his eyes, licking his lips, and said.

”Split into two groups? Damn it, I said how did that beast think of cooperating with our Cloud Dragon Mountain? It turns out he wanted to use us as tools, truly shameless.” Upon hearing this, the few Guardian Elders were slightly startled, then couldn’t help but curse.

Now, they finally understood why the Red Lion Daoist dared to risk being suspected by the Purple Flame Palace to cooperate with their Cloud Dragon Mountain.

Turns out, his plan was to use them as tools! Truly despicable, deserved his death, dying with his sins.

”But now we have to thank him. If it weren’t for the Red Lion Daoist, how would we have the opportunity and reason to legitimately strike at the Enlightened Deity Cave? A micro Black Profound Copper Essence Vein, if we could obtain it, it would be an incredible fortune.”

Blackwind squinted his eyes, and at this moment, the grievances and anger in his heart had already vanished into the Nine Skies. Just kidding, now there is a reason and opportunity to seize that micro Black Profound Copper Essence Vein, what is there to be unsatisfied about?

”Haha, it seems our Cloud Dragon Mountain truly has the favor of the heavens. The death of Zhou Long, Lau Pang, and Qin Liefeng brought us the Black Profound Copper Essence Vein, this is simply... too worthwhile, haha, hahaha!”

”That’s right, that’s right! With that Black Profound Copper Essence Vein, and with the ancestor’s recovery, our Cloud Dragon Mountain’s rise isn’t just around the corner!?”
