Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort

Chapter 727: Chapter 162: First Glimpse of the Ancient Battlefield

The gray sky had no sun, moon, or stars, and no clouds changing forms. The distant and nearby mountains were all black, like dark iron, exuding a chilling aura.

Here, there was no grass or trees, nor flowers and plants.

Everything carried a sense of lifelessness, even the winds blowing through were bone-chillingly cold.

Mu Qingge and the others stepped on the ground formed by the solidified bodies of the Beast Clan, not knowing how long they had walked or how many fog barriers they had passed through, before finding a small cave.

”Let’s rest here for now.” Mu Qingge looked up at their surroundings, still shrouded in haze.

It seemed that only by getting closer could one glimpse what lay within.

Except for her, almost everyone in their group was injured, including Wei Molili, who had been carried by Ying Ze and was poisoned. This was not the right time to explore the Ancient Battlefield, they had to find a place to recover.

Mu Qingge entered the cave first. The cave seemed to have been artificially carved out, with marks of digging remaining on the walls and entrance. Inside, it was only big enough to accommodate five or six people, just right for them.

Crack!

Inside, it was very dark, and Mu Qingge seemed to have stepped on something, making a crisp sound.

She snapped her fingers, and the Taichu Urgent Fire flickered from her fingertips, forming a flame that floated in front of her, illuminating the entire cave and dispelling its shadows and coldness.

Seeing clearly what was inside, Mu Qingge frowned slightly.

Bones! Bones were everywhere!

Scattered bones lay all around, indistinguishable between human or Beast Clan. They had been here for who knows how many years, turning ashen and brittle.

Mu Qingge’s heart sank, and the Taichu Urgent Fire floating before her plummeted to the ground.

Boom!

The Taichu Urgent Fire quickly spread, turning all the bones in the cave to ashes.

The firelight in the cave startled the people outside.

Ji Yaohua asked, ”Qingge, everything alright in there?”

As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps came from within. The three waiting outside instinctively became vigilant, but when Mu Qingge’s figure appeared before them, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

”I thought you encountered some attack inside.” Ji Yaohua put away his fan and said to Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge slowly shook her head and said to them, ”You can come in.” With that, she turned and entered the cave, and the three carried Wei Molili inside as well.

Once inside, the lingering warmth of the Taichu Urgent Fire drove away the coldness clinging to them.

Naturally, they could not see the eerie sight of the bones that had previously filled the cave.

”Why is this cave so small?” Ji Yaohua remarked, frowning after surveying the area.

Mu Qingge helped Ying Ze set down Wei Molili and casually explained, ”This was temporarily dug out. Perhaps, people in the past faced some danger and hastily created this shelter, it wasn’t formed naturally.”

Ji Yaohua did not ask further. He took out some fuel from his Sumeru Ring, piled it in the cave, and said gratefully, ”Good thing I was prepared, otherwise without a single tree here, who knows how we’d start a fire.”

After arranging it, he took out a fire stick and ignited the fuel.

Instantly, a warm firelight filled the cave.

With Mortal Fire, there was no need for Mu Qingge to expend spiritual power to maintain the Taichu Urgent Fire.

Once settled, the four sat cross-legged around the fire pit. Ji Yaohua took out some prepared rations to distribute but was stopped by Ying Ze.

”I brought my own.” He refused Ji Yaohua’s offer, taking out his previously prepared food.

Ji Yaohua retorted in mock annoyance, ”Why are you so particular? What’s the difference between mine and yours?”

Ying Ze glanced at him, said nothing, and continued eating in silence.

Mu Qingge looked at Ji Yaohua and said, ”Ying Ze is right. We should each eat our own food. Here, no one knows what we’ll encounter. If we get separated and you’ve fed us all your food, what will you do then?”

Ji Yaohua paused, realizing he hadn’t considered that before.

After hearing Mu Qingge’s words, Xi Qianxue also quietly took out her prepared food and began to eat slowly and thoughtfully.

Mu Qingge wasn’t very hungry, so she didn’t eat. Instead, she walked to Wei Molili’s side and carefully felt his pulse. She wanted to diagnose what poison Wei Molili was suffering from.

Seeing her actions, Ji Yaohua swallowed his food and asked, ”Qingge, you haven’t mentioned whether you know medicine?”

”Does that even need answering? Every year, perfect-grade Divine Level Elixirs are auctioned in Luoxing City, yet no Divine Level Alchemist is ever heard of. There are only two possibilities. One, the alchemist is extremely reserved, unwilling to contact the outside world. The second is that the alchemist is among us,” Xi Qianxue analyzed to Ji Yaohua.

Although she hadn’t thought of it that way before, seeing Mu Qingge again this time, from her actions, she must be that mysterious Divine Level Alchemist of Luoxing City.

”You really are a Divine Level Alchemist!” Ji Yaohua exclaimed in surprise, squatting down beside Mu Qingge. In his eyes, joy sparkled brightly.

Then he added, ”You are truly amazing! Not only are you a Holy Level Refiner, but also a Divine Level Alchemist. No wonder you know the elixir recipe for the Devouring Yin Pill.”

”That’s right!” Ji Yaohua’s eyes widened, speaking to Mu Qingge, ”Since you are a Divine Level Alchemist yourself, why should I still go looking for Master Gu Cao? You can directly refine the Devouring Yin Pill, can’t you?”

Mu Qingge released Wei Molili’s wrist and raised her gaze to look calmly at Ji Yaohua, saying, ”Initially, I intended to personally refine the Devouring Yin Pill, but seeing you didn’t believe I could do alchemy, I decided to forgo it. Anyway, the Ji Clan also has allied Divine Level Alchemists, so whoever refines it is the same.”

”It’s not the same! Definitely not the same! The elixir you refine is of perfect grade! Even if Master Gu Cao is impressive, he could only produce top grade, not comparable to yours!” Ji Yaohua said regretfully.

At this moment, his regret was of no use. They were in the Divine Demon Ancient Battlefield, and it would be three months before they could leave. Meanwhile, the old man from his family had taken Ji Pianpian to the East Continent Alchemy Academy.

”To solve Pianpian’s physical problem, a top-grade Divine Level Elixir is sufficient,” said Mu Qingge.

Ji Yaohua couldn’t let it go, muttering to himself in annoyance, ”How could I be so foolish! To have a Divine Level Alchemist with perfect quality right beside me and not realize it!”

Ignoring Ji Yaohua, Ying Ze asked, ”How is Wei Molili?”

This question also concerned Xi Qianxue. So, she raised her beautiful eyes and looked at Mu Qingge, her gaze filled with trust, as if as long as Mu Qingge was there, everything could be resolved.

Mu Qingge pursed her lips and said, ”The situation isn’t great. Although he’s unconscious now, the toxin is still eroding his mind.”

”Could you wake him up so we can find out what really happened?” Xi Qianxue suggested.

At this point, Ji Yaohua also stopped his lamenting and agreed with Ying Ze by nodding at Mu Qingge.

They all agreed with Xi Qianxue’s suggestion, thinking that waking Wei Molili might give them some clues on what to do.

Mu Qingge flicked her fingers, and a Golden Needle appeared in her hand.

And in her palm, there was also an elixir that gleamed with golden light.

”I’ll use the Golden Needle to stimulate him awake, and this elixir can temporarily suppress the toxin in his body. Together with the Golden Needle, it will keep him alert for a while,” Mu Qingge explained to the three.

All three silently nodded and watched her hand with curiosity.

Mu Qingge returned to Wei Molili’s side, swiftly inserting the Golden Needle into his Heavenly Spirit. Instantly, the unconscious Wei Molili sat up sharply, his eyes wide open.

His gaze was sharp, but unlike the previous madness, it seemed a bit dazed.

Wei Molili’s sudden awakening made the three, who were somewhat prepared, tense up immediately.

Mu Qingge flicked the elixir from her palm into Wei Molili’s mouth; moments later, the sharpness in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by confusion.

”Xi... Qianxue...” Wei Molili spoke for the first time, his voice very hoarse. He looked at Xi Qianxue and called out her name. He seemed to only recognize Xi Qianxue, but when he saw Ji Yaohua and Ying Ze, his eyes were filled with vigilance. And when he noticed Mu Qingge beside him, his pupils constricted even more.

Seeing Wei Molili recognize her, Xi Qianxue nodded immediately, ”Yes, I am Xi Qianxue. Wei Molili, are you awake now?”

A trace of bewilderment flashed in Wei Molili’s eyes, then pain appeared, finally turning to calmness, and he nodded.

The change in his emotions was observed by all four, but they did not inquire further.

Xi Qianxue was the one to speak again, saying to Wei Molili, ”You may not have seen these people, but you might have heard their names.” She first pointed at Ji Yaohua, saying, ”This is the second on the Green Talent List, the Ji Family Young Master from the Northern Continent, Ji Yaohua.” Then, she pointed to Ying Ze, ”This is the Young Master Ying Ze from the Ying Family of the West Continent, fourth on the Green Talent List. And this one...”

Xi Qianxue looked at Mu Qingge, biting her lip, ”This is the brightest genius since you left, City Lord of Luoxing City, Mu Qingge, also the only Holy Level Refiner in the entire Middle Ancient Realm.”

Wei Molili listened calmly to her introduction and finally laid his gaze on Mu Qingge. A moment later, he uttered a sentence, ”I remember you, you seemed to have hit me.”

Uh...

Mu Qingge’s mouth twitched.

The other three were also taken aback, and the atmosphere became tense instantly.

Ji Yaohua laughed awkwardly, ”Back then, in such a situation, Qingge had to subdue you to know what happened, otherwise, you’d now be just like a wild beast.”

He originally thought such an explanation would anger Wei Molili, but unexpectedly, Wei Molili just nodded faintly. He then looked earnestly at Mu Qingge and said, ”Thank you.”

The atmosphere was somewhat awkward.

Wei Molili’s unpredictable response left Ji Yaohua speechless.

Among the five, an eerie silence set in.

Finally, Mu Qingge lightly coughed, reminding everyone, ”He is deeply poisoned, the medicinal power won’t last long. If there’s anything to ask, make sure to hurry.”

With her reminder, Ji Yaohua and the other two came back to their senses.

And Wei Molili frowned, seemingly lost in thought.

”Wei Molili, why are you poisoned? What did you get poisoned with?” Xi Qianxue directly asked the crucial question.
