Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 2240: Chapter 2241: The Base’s Request

This kind of competition has no skill to speak of.

However, cultivators in the South Territory are quite bored, lacking entertainment activities and leisure venues, so any minor incident would intrigue them greatly.

This is completely different from a technology-driven nation.

To be honest, although Ye Luo’s heart leans towards cultivation, he still prefers staying in a technology-driven nation.

Whether it be for living or lifestyle, it is quite comfortable and convenient.

At this moment, a large number of cultivators had gathered around to watch the spectacle between the two. Some didn’t even know what previously happened between them, just chanting and jeering.

”Let’s begin!” The young man suddenly exerted force and grabbed the Gold Silk Wood with one hand.

Ye Luo smiled lightly and grabbed the other side of the Gold Silk Wood.

With a slight exertion, Ye Luo immediately sensed something was amiss.

This Gold Silk Wood was actually absorbing strength? Upon closer inspection, it was indeed the case!

He also felt that after the Gold Silk Wood absorbed the strength, it became even more solid.

Of course, the Gold Silk Wood wouldn’t absorb all the strength, and after absorbing, this energy would be emitted out!

Ye Luo couldn’t figure out the mechanism inside the Gold Silk Wood, how it transformed the energy outward.

Evidently, the opponent experienced the same situation, but was clearly aware of it and not surprised.

In such a case, tremendous force was needed to transmit to the other side! So, both gradually applied force.

Soon, Ye Luo felt a bit of force coming from the opponent, and that force continued to grow!

But for Ye Luo, it counted for nothing!

Moreover, he didn’t want to waste too much time; his current goal was to find the Gold Silk Wood and enter the Wind Cloud Sect!

Of course, the ultimate goal was to find the Plane Origin Liquid, after all, even with the Gold Silk Wood, if the scientist couldn’t be revived, the base would remain at the current level.

Thus, he suddenly applied immense force that transmitted from his hand.

Crack!

A cracking sound came from the Gold Silk Wood!

Instantly, the faces of the surrounding people changed.

What kind of strength could cause such a reaction in the Gold Silk Wood? It’s said that even back then, the two Heavenly Martial Realm Fifth Level ancestors researching the secret of Gold Silk Wood were only at this level!

Could it be that this guy’s physical strength surpasses those two ancestors?

Although those two ancestors were not body refiners, in the Heavenly Martial Realm and above, with each rise in level, the physical body receives tremendous enhancement.

The most shocking is the young man opposite.

His hand holding the Gold Silk Wood exploded suddenly, flesh flying everywhere!

This was Ye Luo not using full force; otherwise, he would be blown away entirely, unable to preserve his Divine Soul!

Although the Gold Silk Wood could diminish strength, Ye Luo’s physical body was simply too formidable, especially his Bloodline was evolving into a real Dragon Clan Bloodline.

”I lost!”

The young man came forward and said calmly.

The recovery speed of a body refiner is quite quick, and even if one hand explodes, it’s nothing serious; it will regrow.

In such a short time, the blood on his hand had already clotted, with new flesh and bone slowly growing.

In fact, his body refining technique is quite formidable; judging by Ye Luo’s perception, he should have breached into the Heavenly Martial Realm with his physical strength.

Unfortunately, he encountered Ye Luo.

”This Gold Silk Wood is no treasure, only commonly used in constructing houses; it’s found in Demon Beast Ridge and occasionally in the South Territory, as it seems to favor harsh environments. The more adverse the environment, the more they thrive. It’s rumored there’s a forest of Gold Silk Woods in the extreme north. However, the Law there is too violent, even ancestor-level cultivators wouldn’t dare enter lightly. Also, there’s a Gold Silk Forest in Zi Wei Sect, but they merely like the appearance of the Gold Silk Woods!”

Upon hearing this, Ye Luo was stunned, showing a somewhat peculiar expression.

Women are indeed women; even women of the South Territory are alike. By seeing the trunk of the Gold Silk Wood, one can imagine its shiny growth, something that appeals to many women who are interested in appearances!

”I’ve told you all I know. I promised that my life is yours, so do as you will!” he said, lowering his head.

Ye Luo thought for a moment, ”Well, since your life is mine, then help me with two things! Regardless of success, our agreement ends!” Ye Luo said.

The young man was a bit stunned, becoming more serious. Instead of wanting his life, Ye Luo had him do two tasks, meaning they were surely difficult.

He was even prepared to die.

However, he wouldn’t flinch. Having promised earlier, his life now belongs to Ye Luo.

This is also why Ye Luo appreciates him.

In the next moment, Ye Luo sent him a telepathic message.

”Just these two tasks?” the young man widened his eyes in disbelief at him.

Ye Luo chuckled, ”To you, these tasks might seem trivial, but for me, they are of great importance!”

The young man thought again and nodded heavily.

”Don’t worry, I’ll do my best. I’ll quit the disciple selection now and help with these tasks. Though time may be short or long, I will do them well. Oh, and my name is Tu Lei; keep this jade piece, as it will lead you to me!”

After saying this, he walked away.

Many showed Ye Luo odd expressions.

They felt Ye Luo was deceived.

South Territory people are notorious for their cunning and viciousness; only a fool would keep promises!

Of course, disciples from the Great Sects place significant value on promises.

But for small factions or bandits, promises are worthless!

Yet Ye Luo doesn’t think so, or he didn’t really expect Tu Lei to help him much.

The two tasks he proposed, one was naturally the Plane Origin Liquid, letting him gather information.

The other was about the Gold Silk Wood, asking him to collect some; quantity doesn’t matter, as Ye Luo can purchase.

The existence of Plane Origin Liquid in the South Territory is unknown; there isn’t much hope he’ll gather useful intel.

As for Gold Silk Wood, Ye Luo needs a large amount; he’s pondering robbing robots while the base’s demand is nearly unlimited.

Therefore, he decided to personally seek Gold Silk Wood, never letting such an opportunity to make a fortune slip away.
