Chapter 836

"Why wouldn't I be able to? If Chen Ang can do it, I can too. For Wan Shitong's sake, we should at least give it a try."

The two exchanged a look, having already secretly made up their minds.

At dawn, Chen Ang appeared in Wan Shitong's room.

Seeing Wan Shitong lying there with a pale face, he felt a faint pain in his heart.

Stepping forward to hold Wan Shitong's hand, Chen Ang said with a firm face, "Don't be afraid, I'll go pick the herbs for you. No matter what, I will save your life!"

Hearing Chen Ang's voice, Wan Shitong opened his eyes slowly.

Seeing that it was him, he managed to show a faint smile.

"Why did you come so early? I'm fine, don't worry about me."

Hearing him still being stubborn, Chen Ang gripped his hand a bit tighter.

"Wan Shitong, don't be afraid. Although the poison has entered your bloodstream, my master has already sealed your various acupoints, so the poison won't spread any further. As long as I retrieve the herbs in time and refine them into an antidote, you will definitely be fine."

Hearing his words, Wan Shitong struggled to sit up.

"What did you say? You are going to find herbs for me?"

"Right, not just me, but also An Xinyi. You don't need to worry about us; the herbs are not in the depths of the Sin Prison, so there's no danger. We will try our best to go and return early. No matter what, you must hold on and wait for us to bring the herbs back, do you hear me?"

With red eyes, Wan Shitong nodded forcefully.

"Okay, no matter what, I will hold on. Boss, you must be careful; I'll wait here for you to return!"

"Hmm, put your heart at ease. I've even brought back the Fire Red Flower; there's nothing I can't bring back. Wait for me."

After repeatedly instructing Wan Shitong, Chen Ang turned and left.

An Xinyi was guarding outside the door. Seeing him come out, he hurriedly handed him a list.

"Chen Ang, these are the herbs we need to find. Do you recognize them all?"

Looking at the somewhat unfamiliar names on it, Chen Ang frowned slightly.

As Teacher Xing Tian's disciple, he recognized most of the herbs, but there were some uncommon ones he didn't know. For example, on this list, there were two he had never seen before.

Seeing Chen Ang frowning, An Xinyi said hurriedly, "I don't recognize these things. You tell me which ones they are and I can go pick them, but I can't identify them."

Understanding what he meant, Chen Ang nodded gently.

Just as he was in a dilemma, Teacher Xing Tian suddenly appeared.

Seeing that he had come, Chen Ang hurriedly took the list and went forward.

"Master, there are a few herbs on here that I don't recognize. Can you roughly describe what they look like?"

Glancing in the direction his finger was pointing, Teacher Xing Tian smiled, "These few herbs are indeed uncommon. Even if I tell you, you might not remember them clearly. After all, there are too many plants that look similar. Even if you remember them now, you might not be able to distinguish them when you get there."

Upon hearing his words, Chen Ang's brows furrowed even tighter.

"Master, then what do you think I should do? What should I do to accurately bring back all the herbs Wan Shitong needs?"

Knowing he was anxious, Teacher Xing Tian patted his shoulder.

"Don't worry, I'll accompany you on this trip."

Hearing Teacher Xing Tian's words, Chen Ang opened his eyes in pleasant surprise.

"Really? Are you really going with me?"

"Hmm, Li Lao has some arrangements here, and we can't help much, so it's best not to disturb him. Taking advantage of this time, we'll go to the mountain. By the time we return, Li Lao should have finished handling things here. Let's go."

After Teacher Xing Tian's voice fell, he led the way forward.

Under Teacher Xing Tian's guidance, the two followed him all the way up the mountain range.

Looking up at the mountain that towered into the clouds, Chen Ang asked, "Master, are we going to pick herbs on this mountain?"

"No, we need to cross this mountain to get to the next one."

Learning that they had to cross this mountain, An Xinyi opened his mouth wide.

"Teacher Xing Tian, cross this mountain? Are you sure?"

"Sure."

Seeing the calm expression on Teacher Xing Tian's face, An Xinyi still couldn't quite close his mouth.

"This mountain is so high; it will take several days just to cross it, right? Are you sure it's not too late to treat Wan Shitong's injuries?"

Knowing what he was thinking, Teacher Xing Tian said with a smile, "Although this mountain is high, we don't need to cross over the top. We can just take the path halfway up the mountain."

Upon hearing his words, An Xinyi finally understood why he was so calm, so he scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

Seeing him like this, Chen Ang couldn't help but chuckle.

Actually, he had the same thought just now, but his mouth wasn't as fast as An Xinyi's, and he hadn't asked the question first, thus avoiding embarrassment.

As the three moved forward, the topic inevitably touched upon the Demon Race.

Mentioning this, the smile on Teacher Xing Tian's face faded slightly.

Turning to look at Chen Ang, he said, "You've killed quite a few members of the Demon Race recently, and the news must have reached the Demon Emperor's ears. Chen Ang, you must be careful in the future."

Knowing he was worried about him, Chen Ang nodded, "Don't worry, Master, I will be careful."

"Hmm, try not to go out alone during this period. The Demon Emperor might target you at any time, so you must be a bit more cautious. However, you don't need to worry too much. The Demon Emperor is a scourge to all races; not only do we humans hate him, but other races hate him too. We will always find a way to eliminate him."

"Master, is there a way now?" Chen Ang asked.

"The current idea is just a prototype. After all, the Demon Emperor is very strong. Even if we have ideas, we cannot act rashly, so you still have to endure for a while longer."

Learning that he already had an idea, Chen Ang was excited and nodded repeatedly.

"Master, don't worry. Before your idea matures, I will definitely not act rashly."

"You don't have to be so cautious. If you really encounter members of the Demon Race, feel free to kill them. After all, these people are the Demon Emperor's lackeys, and keeping them is just a scourge. Killing as many as you can is a way to pave the way for our future. Once the Demon Emperor dies, our human race will have a chance to rise."

For some reason, after hearing his words, Chen Ang felt his blood boiling.

At this time, An Xinyi said from the side, "I don't have any plans to leave recently; I will always be with you."

Looking at him, Chen Ang asked, "Are you seeking revenge?"

Without any concealment, An Xinyi nodded immediately.

"Right, I really can't swallow this anger; I must vent it."

"That's fine. With your added strength, it will be easier for us to do things."

Hearing Chen Ang's approval, An Xinyi smiled and then asked Teacher Xing Tian, "Are we going to stay here for a while?"

"No, this place has already been surrounded by the Demon Race, and our every move is under their eyes. This is very disadvantageous for us, so we have to leave recently. Li Lao has already started preparing for this. By the time we return, he should have everything ready."

Following the mountain path upward, Teacher Xing Tian kept telling Chen Ang about various medicinal herbs.

Regarding his explanations, Chen Ang kept every word in his heart.

He knew that Teacher Xing Tian couldn't always be by his side in the future, so he had to master this knowledge himself to save his own life when going out alone, so he listened extra carefully.

When night was about to fall, they had already reached the middle of the mountain.

Looking at the other mountain from afar, Teacher Xing Tian stopped in his tracks.

Seeing his action, Chen Ang asked softly, "Master, are we not going any further?"

"Not anymore. The mountain road is difficult to walk and full of dangers. Now that it's dark, if we continue forward, I'm afraid there will be danger. Instead of taking risks, it's better to rest here for a while. Wan Shitong can still afford to wait."

Hearing him say this, An Xinyi simply sat on the ground and tapped his legs gently.

As the three sat on the ground, Chen Ang took out quite a bit of food and water from his bag.

Seeing these things, An Xinyi's eyes lit up, and he grabbed a piece of meat and started devouring it.

"Chen Ang, why did you carry so many things? Aren't you tired?"

"Not tired. These things are consumables; they'll be eaten up as we walk, so I brought a bit more. Feel free to eat; I have more."

Learning that he had more, An Xinyi didn't stand on ceremony and started eating big mouthfuls.

Seeing him eating so deliciously, Teacher Xing Tian frowned and said, "Keep a low profile. There are wild beasts on this mountain that love meat the most. You're eating so deliciously; aren't you afraid they'll attack you?"

As soon as Teacher Xing Tian said this, An Xinyi's chewing stopped for a moment.

"Are there wild beasts on this mountain too?"

"I don't know. Although I haven't encountered them when I walked here before, I have heard their calls, so there must be some."

Learning that there were wild beasts on the mountain, Chen Ang's eyes couldn't help but light up.

Seeing him like this, An Xinyi frowned gently.
