Chapter 878

"You are a dignified National Teacher, yet you can't even find a few herbs? If you can't find them, then don't get treated."

Su Chen said angrily.

Bai Bai Shi Tong was also very helpless; some of the herbs Su Chen prescribed could be found, but some could not be found at all.

Bai Bai Shi Tong had also mobilized connections across the country to find them, but there were still a few rare herbs that had not been found.

Su Chen had been treating Bai Bai Shi Tong for half a month and hadn't had a good night's sleep.

Now that the medicinal materials were used up, there was no way to continue the subsequent treatment.

Because it was a private treatment for Bai Bai Shi Tong, this matter could not be known by others.

Bai Bai Shi Tong could not openly purchase large quantities of medicinal materials; if discovered, he would be investigated.

"Is there any place nearby that is rich in medicinal materials and has many magical beasts? I will go pick herbs for you."

"There is, but it is quite dangerous!"

Su Chen said impatiently.

"Tell me quickly where it is; I will go and return quickly. With you being so dawdling, when will you ever be cured?"

Bai Bai Shi Tong took out a map and gave it to Su Chen.

"This is a mountain range in the west of the Qi-Refining Continent called the Dense Forest Mountain Range. It is rich in medicinal materials and high-tier inner cores of magical beasts."

"It is mainly occupied by mercenary groups that hunt and medicine merchants that pick herbs. The deeper you go into the mountain range, the richer the medicine, and of course, the higher the level of the magical beasts."

Su Chen opened the map and saw that the Dense Forest Mountain Range was quite large.

"I will go to the Dense Forest Mountain Range to pick herbs for you; it will take at least three days and at most half a month!"

Then Su Chen took out a bottle of pills and gave them to Bai Bai Shi Tong.

"I am leaving, but the treatment cannot stop. Take one pill I gave you every day, and I will cure you thoroughly when I return with the herbs."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Chen went to pack his luggage and prepared to set off for the Dense Forest Mountain Range.

"You are leaving; what if they hold a banquet in these few days? If you are not here, I have no way to explain it to the Qi-Refining Emperor!"

"Last time they welcomed me, it's been almost half a month, and there hasn't been a sound. Forget it! Your forgetful Emperor."

That was true; last time the Qi-Refining Emperor sent the Ministry of Rites to deliver a message.

He said a few days, but it had been almost half a month, and there was no news at all.

During this time, Su Chen was bored and practiced many cultivation methods of the Qi-Refining Realm.

Now Su Chen was eager to try and wanted to go out and flex his muscles.

Su Chen came to his room, changed into simple clothing, and after a brief farewell to Bai Bai Shi Tong, he directly condensed Qi into wings and flew outside.

【Condensing Qi into wings is a unique technique of the Qi-Refining Continent. Anyone who reaches the Qi-King realm or above can condense the true Qi in their body and release it to form wings, allowing the possessor to fly.】

Su Chen was now at the Fifth Tier of the King-Sealing Realm, which in the Qi-Refining Continent was the Fifth Tier of the Qi-Honor Realm.

He was already the strongest known combat power on the Qi-Refining Continent, and being stifled in the Qi Capital, he was glad to come out for some fresh air.

After a day of flying, Su Chen arrived at Dense Forest City next to the Dense Forest Mountain Range.

Su Chen prepared to rest here for one night and head to the Dense Forest Mountain Range early tomorrow morning.

Su Chen found an inn, had a good meal and drink, and then fell fast asleep.

Su Chen hid his strength; now he was only a Ninth-Stage Qi-Refiner.

Those around him were either Qi-Kings or Great Qi-Kings, and they looked at Su Chen with disdain.

With such a low level, he still dared to come to the Dense Forest Mountain Range to die; there were too many such people, so people were numb to it.

Su Chen also spent some money to inquire about some news; he prepared to enter the Magical Beast Mountain Range with a mercenary group tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Su Chen came to the Mercenary Guild, preparing to find a group of mercenaries ready to enter the Dense Forest Mountain Range to protect him.

Here, money was supreme; the more money you gave, the better the mercenary group would naturally be.

As soon as Su Chen arrived, he threw a thousand gold coins on the table.

This action attracted many people's attention. At this moment, a middle-aged man with a mechanical arm walked over.

The middle-aged man handed Su Chen a glass of wine.

"I say, brother, you are looking for a mercenary group; you look unfamiliar! First time here, right? My name is Mad Dragon, the leader of the Mad Dragon Mercenary Group..."

This Mad Dragon babbled on for a long time, talking a lot of nonsense.

"Last time we encountered a ten-thousand-year-old magical beast; fortunately, we ran fast, otherwise we would have lost our lives."

After talking for a long time, Su Chen was only interested in this sentence Mad Dragon said.

Su Chen signaled the waiter to bring two bottles of good wine, then took out another thousand gold coins and threw them on the table.

"I want to go deep into the Dense Forest Mountain Range; you lead the way and protect me. 2000 gold coins, provided you listen to me."

Mad Dragon saw Su Chen's gold coins, and his eyes were about to pop out.

"I say, brother, protecting you is no problem, but having to listen to you is a bit against the rules!"

Su Chen didn't answer and took out another thousand gold coins, throwing them on the table.

"Listen, even if my dad came, he would listen to you!"
