Chapter 28: Past Medicine Kings

These residual souls surrounded Tang Yun, their eyes filled with questioning.

"Are you a doctor or a Gu master?"

"You have tarnished the name of the Medicine King!"

"You will become the shame of the Medicine King Tomb!"

Tang Yun clutched his chest in pain; the Poison King Essence Blood was raging within his body, as if about to consume him.

"I am not reconciled!" Tang Yun gritted his teeth, forcibly circulating his True Qi, attempting to suppress the Poison King Essence Blood.

However, the power of the Poison King Essence Blood was too powerful; his True Qi simply couldn't compete with it.

Just then, the Medicine King Sword and the Shennong Cauldron in his hand suddenly resonated, the two forces merging together to form a brand-new power that surged into his body.

"Chaos Medical Qi!"

Tang Yun snapped his eyes open, a flash of sharp light crossing them.

A powerful aura erupted from his body, shaking the surrounding Medicine King residual souls back.

"I... I have comprehended the Chaos Medical Qi!"

Just then, an illusory figure appeared in front of Tang Yun; this figure was none other than Tang Yun's father!

"Yun'er..." His father's residual soul looked at Tang Yun, his eyes filled with love. "The Nine-Turn Golden Core is not a real pill, but a seed of karma you left behind in your past life..."

Before Tang Yun could react, the residual soul of the first Medicine King let out a roar: "You are merely my reincarnation!"

Tang Yun sneered, exerting force in his hand, crushing the golden core core, fragments scattering in all directions: "In this life, I only want to be Tang Yun!"

The golden core core burst, fragments scattering like fireflies, but they didn't dissipate, instead circling around Tang Yun, flashing with strange light. The residual soul of the first Medicine King let out a miserable howl, his body trembling violently, as if enduring huge pain.

"You... you actually destroyed it!" The voice of the first Medicine King's residual soul was hoarse, filled with disbelief. "That was the key to reshaping your physical body and achieving an immortal body!"

Tang Yun sneered: "Reshape physical body? Achieve immortal body? Old man, in this life I only want to be Tang Yun; who cares about being your reincarnation!" The Chaos Medical Qi within his body surged like a galloping river, thoroughly refining the remaining Poison King Essence Blood.

The surrounding Medicine King residual souls looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock and confusion.

"This kid... actually refined the Poison King Essence Blood?" one residual soul muttered to himself.

"Unbelievable! He can actually control Chaos Medical Qi! This is the legendary..." Before the other residual soul could finish, he was interrupted by the first Medicine King's residual soul.

"Shut up!" The first Medicine King's residual soul roared. "You bunch of trash, why don't you stop him!"

The Medicine King residual souls hesitated for a moment, finally lunging toward Tang Yun.

"Seeking death!" A cold light flashed in Tang Yun's eyes; the Chaos Medical Qi turned into sharp sword auras, slashing the lunging residual souls into nothingness.

"Ah!" The residual souls let out miserable screams, their figures gradually dissipating.

Seeing this, the first Medicine King's residual soul's expression changed drastically; he hadn't expected Tang Yun's strength to be so powerful.

"You... who exactly are you?" The voice of the first Medicine King's residual soul trembled.

Tang Yun walked toward the first Medicine King's residual soul step by step, his eyes cold: "I am Tang Yun, someone you will never be able to control!"

The first Medicine King's residual soul retreated in terror; he felt a powerful pressure that made him unable to breathe.

"No! Impossible! You are just my reincarnation; you should obey me!" The first Medicine King's residual soul roared hysterically.

Tang Yun ignored him, the Chaos Medical Qi turning into a huge palm, grabbing toward the first Medicine King's residual soul.

"Ah!" The first Medicine King's residual soul let out a scream, his figure thoroughly dissipating.

With the disappearance of the first Medicine King's residual soul, the entire ice cave began to shake violently, as if about to collapse.

"Let's go quickly!" Lin Xiyue grabbed Tang Yun's hand, saying anxiously.

The two quickly left the ice cave; not long after they left, the ice cave collapsed with a loud bang, burying everything under the ice and snow.

After escaping the Medicine King Tomb, Tang Yun and Lin Xiyue arrived at a quiet valley.

"Tang Yun, are you okay?" Lin Xiyue asked with concern.

Tang Yun shook his head: "I'm fine, just a bit tired."

Lin Xiyue looked at Tang Yun, her eyes filled with worry: "You just now... were really too dangerous!"

Tang Yun smiled: "Rest assured, I'm fine."

The two rested in the valley for a night, and the next morning, they continued their journey.

"Xiyue, my mother's diary mentioned that the Nine-Turn Golden Core is not a real pill, but a key." Tang Yun said.

"A key? What key?" Lin Xiyue asked curiously.

"The key to opening the true inheritance of the Medicine King." Tang Yun explained. "The diary says that the true Medicine King inheritance is not in the Medicine King Tomb, but in a more hidden place."

"Where should we look for it?" Lin Xiyue asked.

Tang Yun took out his mother's diary and carefully flipped through it: "The diary mentions a place—Ten Thousand Medicines Shan Gu."

"'Ten Thousand Medicines Shan Gu'?" Lin Xiyue frowned, "I seem to have heard this name somewhere."

Tang Yun pondered for a moment and suddenly said: "I remember now; Ten Thousand Medicines Shan Gu is the legendary Medicine King Holy Land, said to grow all kinds of rare medicinal herbs and contain many lost medical classics."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's hurry to Ten Thousand Medicines Shan Gu!" Lin Xiyue said excitedly.

Tang Yun nodded, and the two packed their bags and set off toward Ten Thousand Medicines Shan Gu.

After several days of trekking, they finally arrived at the entrance of Ten Thousand Medicines Shan Gu.

The entrance to Ten Thousand Medicines Shan Gu was hidden behind a waterfall; if one didn't look carefully, it would be hard to find.

"This is Ten Thousand Medicines Shan Gu?" Lin Xiyue looked at the waterfall in front of her, her eyes filled with curiosity.

Tang Yun nodded: "That's right, according to the records in the diary, passing through the waterfall will lead into Ten Thousand Medicines Shan Gu."

The two passed through the waterfall, and the view suddenly opened up; a valley full of vitality appeared before them.

In the valley, birds sang and flowers smelled sweet, rare medicinal herbs could be seen everywhere, and the air was filled with a rich medicinal fragrance.

"What a beautiful place!" Lin Xiyue couldn't help but exclaim. "Wow, this flower is so pretty!"

She was attracted by a strange flower that was crystal clear and emitted a faint fluorescence, unable to resist reaching out to touch it.

"Careful!" Tang Yun grabbed her, "Although the herbs in Ten Thousand Medicines Shan Gu are precious, they may also contain potent poison; don't touch them randomly."

Lin Xiyue stuck out her tongue, retracted her hand, and smiled playfully: "Got it, Brother Tang."

Tang Yun looked at her bright smile, his heart moved. In the past few days of getting along, the two had long since crossed the relationship of ordinary companions.

Lin Xiyue was not only beautiful and kind but also had a strong personality, surprisingly similar to the woman described in his mother's diary.

"Brother Tang, look, what is that?" Lin Xiyue pointed to a field of herbs flashing with seven-colored light in the distance, calling out in surprise.

"That's Seven-Colored Lingzhi!" Tang Yun was also somewhat excited, "The legendary divine medicine that can bring the dead back to life!" ===== CHAPTER 29 =====
