Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 2034: Chapter 2035: Shield

Liu Bing was quite frustrated. The look in his eyes when he glanced at Ye Luo had shifted from initial resentment to a forlorn grievance.

He had resisted more than once, but in the end, he was always subdued by the little bug.

Ye Luo didn’t proceed directly to the next level. Every time he reached a new layer, he would search for a peculiar herb.

At first, Liu Bing thought it was some kind of miraculous herb! But after careful study, the herb was quite ordinary. For their current realm, it was basically useless!

So why was he collecting this stuff? Moreover, he always dug up a piece of white bone from under the herb and took it with him. Wasn’t this guy mad or something!

Of course, Liu Bing didn’t dare to say this outright, for fear of suffering the pain of being bitten by worms.

”Liu Qing, this is the twenty-fifth layer already. If we go further up, the level of demon beasts will be too high, and I won’t be able to deter them!” Liu Bing said, somewhat frustrated.

In fact, Ye Luo had already noticed the issue. Some formidable demon beasts had already tried to attack them.

If they went up another level, then Liu Bing’s means would essentially become useless.

”Alright then, let’s rest a bit on this level!”

They had spent exactly two whole days reaching the twenty-fifth layer. Ye Luo was quite satisfied with this pace.

Liu Bing’s eyes lit up upon hearing this, ”Then I’ll go treasure hunting first. After this point, I won’t be much help, so I’ll take my leave now!”

Without waiting for Ye Luo to speak, the guy disappeared on the spot.

This extremely arrogant fellow being reprimanded by Ye Luo to such a state was quite peculiar indeed.

Ye Luo sat cross-legged, allowing the chill of ice to emanate from his body, beginning to refine the surrounding spiritual energy. However, after an hour, he opened his eyes slowly.

His face couldn’t hide his look of disappointment!

The spiritual energy he absorbed had no effect on his body at all! To be precise, his current realm was completely false, forcibly enhanced by the Dragon King using great magical power!

His original realm was merely Sixth Rank, and moreover, due to the drawbacks of the body-swapping technique, it had already been sealed!

He stood up in a rage, feeling swindled by those old dragons.

What he had to do now was to quickly ascend to the top level to see if there was anything related to the Dragon Emperor. Only by finding the Dragon Emperor’s body could his body-swapping technique be perfected, and his original realm restored.

Upon turning around, he found Liu Bing standing there, not knowing when he had appeared.

”Weren’t you off treasure hunting? Finished so quickly?”

Liu Bing smiled wryly, ”Yeah, I’ve already collected all the treasures on this level. Let’s move on to the next layer together!”

Ye Luo was momentarily stunned. What was up with this guy? He had just hurriedly run off, but now he was back to join forces with him.

”You saw it yourself; these demon beasts are formidable. Two people are better than one, right?”

Ah, so that’s it!

Ye Luo looked at the sky, then smiled slightly.

In fact, he had just figured out how to threaten these demon beasts! That was to use the power of the Dragon Soul! In front of the Dragon Clan, these demon beasts could only grovel! It’s just that he was hesitant to use it openly because he was being watched outside!

Now with this bloke as a shield, the problem was simplified!

After all, this guy already had the power to deter demon beasts, and others didn’t know the exact nature of it, which provided Ye Luo a perfect opportunity!

”Your idea is quite good!” Ye Luo smiled, squinting his eyes.

Immediately, Liu Bing became vigilant. This seemingly gentle young man was not as simple as he appeared. He could be described as full of bad ideas.

”What are you up to? I’m just cooperating with you, at best I’ll share some treasures with you, but for any unreasonable requests, I refuse!”

Unreasonable requests? Ye Luo glared at him. If Liu Mei had said this, it might have been believable!

”You’re overthinking it. I’m just looking to cooperate with you as well!”

Saying this, Ye Luo heavily patted his shoulder twice.

Liu Bing’s eyes were filled with more confusion because he suddenly felt a warm sensation in his body, which vanished in an instant, and he even suspected it was an illusion!

Yet upon careful examination, there was indeed nothing abnormal with his body, except for that damn bug, of course.

”Let’s go, stop standing there. Time is precious!” Ye Luo chuckled.

Subsequently, the two entered the twenty-sixth layer!

This layer’s space was immensely vast, and shadows of demon beasts occasionally appeared. Each demon beast had at least a Fifth Rank realm!

Ye Luo was still searching for Dragon Beard Grass, not because he needed the herbs but because he needed to excavate the Dragon Bones beneath it!

The Dragon Clan detested dying away from home. Ye Luo, now a member of the Dragon Clan, felt a pang of sorrow upon seeing these Dragon Bones. His task was to take these dragons back home!

He had to bring these Dragon Bones back to Dragon Island. Although it was a perilous task, he had no choice.

Perhaps this was another impact brought on by the body-swapping technique.

”Liu Qing, wait a moment!”

Behind him, Liu Bing suddenly exclaimed.

”Did you discover some treasure?” Ye Luo turned and smiled.

”Have you noticed that these demon beasts seem to be avoiding us?”

”Yes, it’s always been like this, hasn’t it? This is your doing, why ask me?” Ye Luo looked at him, puzzled.

”No, something’s definitely off. I had once refined the essence of an ancient ferocious beast’s blood, so these demon beasts avoided me. But by the last layer, it had already reached its limit. You see, any demon beast around here could lord over the previous level! But the way they look at me is clearly wrong!”

Ye Luo laughed inwardly, feeling that something was definitely off! Ancient ferocious beasts compared to the Dragon Clan? Moments ago, he had inadvertently infused a discreet amount of Dragon Soul power into Liu Bing!

”Maybe these demon beasts are just timid, like how the older the cultivator, the more they fear death,” Ye Luo said with a serious demeanor.

However, it was clear Liu Bing’s IQ wasn’t that low, and he naturally didn’t believe this explanation. Yet, no matter how much he pondered, he couldn’t understand it.

Of course, he naturally didn’t suspect Ye Luo, since if the latter had the power, he would’ve climbed the tower alone long ago instead of relying on him.

With no demon beasts obstructing them, their speed climbing the tower increased again. But this time, to cater to Liu Bing’s mood, Ye Luo followed him to collect all the heavenly treasures before ascending.

Of course, when they encountered treasures Ye Luo had his eyes on, he took them unceremoniously, and Liu Bing, naturally, wasn’t as patient. He got mad at Ye Luo a few times, but Ye Luo subdued him with the little bug.
