Chapter 1017: Divine Medicine

Inside the grass hut, it was quiet and serene, with medicine racks everywhere, seemingly covered in various medicinal herbs emitting a faint, fragrant aroma.

Li Luo and Qin Yi followed closely behind the white ape, their gazes scanning the surroundings. Besides the courtyard before them, the grass hut seemed to have three rooms in total; the middle one was the main house, appearing slightly more spacious. Yet, though these buildings looked ordinary, strange array light patterns flowed across their doors and walls, with extremely terrifying energy fluctuations emanating from them.

Clearly, though the houses were simple, they were a critical location, protected by powerful strange arrays.

Li Luo and Qin Yi followed the white ape closely, and at such close range, the two faintly smelled a faint scent of corpse odor from the ape, a smell somewhat like those guardian spirit beasts they had seen before.

This discovery caused emotions to surge within both of them.

"Senior White Ape, are you the only one here?" Qin Yi asked softly, her beautiful eyes turning.

Hearing this, the white ape still spoke in its slow tone: "Originally there were others, but they were transferred away later. The Sect issued an order for me to stay here and refine the Divine Medicine."

"Divine Medicine?" Qin Yi's eyes flickered.

"Senior White Ape, I saw those 'Origin Profound Heart Fruits' all picked and brought in? Could it be to refine that so-called 'Divine Medicine'?" At this moment, Li Luo also spoke up to ask.

"Yes, the 'Origin Profound Heart Fruit' is the main material. Every few years, when it matures, it is harvested and used to refine medicine," the white ape nodded.

"I wonder what this so-called 'Divine Medicine' is?" Qin Yi asked, seemingly curious.

However, this time the white ape did not answer, but slowly walked into the grass hut.

Seeing this, Qin Yi was not discouraged; instead, her jade hand swept over her Space Ball, and a wine jar appeared in her hand, its mouth sealed with mud, with a faintly extremely tempting wine aroma drifting out.

The white ape's steps stopped instantly, and it turned back to look at the wine jar in Qin Yi's hands with surprise and joy.

Qin Yi smiled and said, "I heard Senior loves fine wine, so I specially brought you a jar."

Li Luo, standing aside, watched and couldn't help but cast a shocked glance; this Qin Yi truly came prepared, even knowing the preferences of the white ape before her. Where on earth did she get such intelligence?

The white ape, in a hurry, took the wine jar, smashed the mud seal directly, and gulped the mellow wine into its sharp mouth in large swallows, its face full of intoxication.

"Little Miss is thoughtful." Having quenched his thirst for wine, the white ape squinted its eyes to enjoy it for a moment, then smiled at Qin Yi: "However, this 'Divine Medicine' cannot be told to you; your authority is not enough."

The smile on Qin Yi's beautiful face instantly froze, which made Li Luo, standing aside, secretly amused; all that effort, yet still no effect.

Sensing Li Luo's gleeful look, Qin Yi couldn't help but grit her silver teeth and glare at him; I, holding the Elder's token, don't have enough authority, so does that means you, who randomly snuck in, have enough?

Li Luo felt his authority might indeed be sufficient, because after the white ape finished speaking, its eyes glanced at him, which made him realize clearly; although he didn't know if it was due to the 'Little Formless Fire' or the mysterious golden wheel in his body, he seemed to have obtained a relatively high-level authority of the Formless Saint Sect.

This authority should be higher than the position of an Elder.

However, Li Luo did not plan to help Qin Yi inquire about that so-called 'Divine Medicine'; after all, regarding such intelligence, he did not want the other party to know, lest it be reported back to the Qin Li Tianwang faction and cause trouble for him later.

One ape and two humans walked into the depths of the grass hut, finally stopping in front of the three rooms.

The white ape stopped, tore off a tuft of monkey hair, raised a ball of flame in its palm, melted it into a thumb-sized seal, then handed this object to Qin Yi while pointing at the second room on the side.

"You hold my seal and enter that place to take the medicine."

Hearing this, Qin Yi's beautiful eyes immediately flickered; inside this grass hut, obviously the most important treasure was in the main house ahead, and even if there were treasures in the second side room, their grade would surely be much lower.

Moreover, that so-called 'Divine Medicine' should not possibly be placed in a side room.

Having traveled here with great effort, Qin Yi obviously harbored greater ambitions.

So Qin Yi hurriedly said: "Senior White Ape, the Elder has ordered me to come and take the 'Divine Medicine'."

Li Luo gritted his teeth; this Qin Yi was truly greedy, even trying to deceive this white ape; that 'Divine Medicine' is clearly mine!

Just as Li Luo was thinking of a way to try and crush Qin Yi's ambition, the white ape widened its eyes and said: "Which Elder? Dare to speak such ungrateful words? Not to mention the Divine Medicine isn't refined yet, even if it were, could he take it?"

Qin Yi was instantly speechless; she didn't know what existence this white ape truly was; although it hadn't identified their identities, it still retained a bit of intelligence, making it completely impossible to fool.

However, judging from its words, did that so-called Divine Medicine not succeed?

"Go ahead; considering you let me taste the wine, I allow you to take a few more items," the white ape waved its hand and said.

Qin Yi had no choice; she glanced at Li Luo beside her, wanting to ask how the latter planned to arrange things, but in the end, she didn't ask, because asking would be useless; she couldn't change the white ape's decision, after all, she couldn't fight it.

Forget it, let's first see what treasures are in this second room.

Thinking this, she hesitated no longer and decisively turned to walk towards that second side room.

Seeing her turn and leave, the white ape then showed an extremely gentle smile towards Li Luo and said: "You follow me."

Then it went straight towards the main house.

Seeing this, Li Luo couldn't help but smile with joy; it seemed his 'Little Formless Fire' or that mysterious golden wheel was very effective; in the eyes of this Senior White Ape, his status and position were obviously stronger than that so-called Elder.

He quickly stepped forward to follow.

At this moment, Qin Yi stood before the second room; she was about to push the door open and enter, when she suddenly sensed something and turned her head, only to see Li Luo following the white ape, standing before the main house, while the white ape had already personally pushed open the door protected by a powerful strange array for him.

Li Luo, actually able to enter the main house!

Qin Yi was stunned for a moment, emotions surging in her heart, her full, supple chest heaving deeply; even with her usually calm personality, she couldn't help but feel a bit angry and frustrated at this moment.

Clearly, it was her who presented the Elder's token, so why was it Li Luo who ended up entering the main house?

The white ape said her Elder's token level was insufficient, so on what basis did Li Luo enter?

Qin Yi's willow brows tightened; since Li Luo entered the Spirit Phase Grotto-Heaven, his luck seemed always extremely good; wherever he was, it seemed as if some mysterious power assisted him.

"Is it because Li Taixuan and Tantai Lan obtained something from that Formless Saint Sect ruin back then and gave it to him?" Qin Yi muttered to herself, making a guess.

After all, the Elder's token in her hand was also obtained by Qin Qin Lian from that ruin back then, and much of the intelligence regarding the grass hut came from the same source.

Qin Yi took a deep breath, suppressed the thoughts in her heart, then pressed the seal given by the white ape with her jade finger against the door; light patterns immediately flowed across it, and after feeling slight resistance, she successfully pushed the door open.

A thick medicinal aroma rushed towards her; Qin Yi's beautiful face returned to calmness, and she stepped inside.

And before the main house, when the white ape pushed the door open and entered first, Li Luo also suppressed his rapidly beating heart, keeping his face calm and elegant, and walked into the main house.

Outside the grass hut, various factions sat waiting, clearly separated.

Among the Li Li Tianwang faction, Li Li Lingjing, who was sitting holding the Green Bamboo Green Snake Staff, suddenly opened her bright eyes; she abruptly turned her head to look at the distant rear, and in that instant, she felt a throbbing.

It seemed as if something extremely dangerous and terrible was approaching.

Moreover, faintly, she seemed to hear the sound of flowing water, only this sound of flowing water was slightly viscous, making people feel uncomfortable.

"Cousin Li Lingjing, what's wrong?" Li Li Fengyi, standing beside her, seeing her expression, asked hurriedly.

Li Li Lingjing's clean and pretty face changed slightly, her eyes revealing a trace of cold chill; she tightly gripped the Green Bamboo Green Snake Staff with her slender five fingers and said: "Something terrible is approaching."

Hearing this, everyone nearby's faces changed drastically, and then they looked around with suspicion and uncertainty, but found nothing.

Li Li Wuyuan was cautious and did not disregard Li Li Lingjing's sensing. He rose into the air, looked toward the distance, and his face suddenly went pale. He said in horror, "What is that?"

In his field of vision, he saw a crimson tide suddenly appear on the distant plains. That red tide swept through, sweeping away and drowning everything.

At the same time, a stench of blood surged over from afar.

Li Li Wuyuan's reaction immediately drew the attention of the powerful experts from all the various forces. They too rose into the air in alarm and suspicion. The next moment, cries of horror rang out one after another.

"What is that thing?"

"A river of blood?!"

"It seems to be coming straight at us!"

"..."

Amid those cries of horror, the faces of the powerful experts from all the various forces all became extremely ugly. This scene clearly showed the newcomer bore no good intent — it was not a good thing!

Li Li Lingjing's expression did not show much ripple, because as that river of blood drew closer, she had already begun to sense that familiar fluctuation.

The same aura as the Number Two aberrant they had encountered before.

"The Number One aberrant... so it really has come."

Li Li Lingjing murmured to herself, and in her lowered starry eyes, icy coldness and intense killing intent surfaced.

Then she turned her head, looked at that seemingly crude but in truth indestructible thatched hut, and her gaze softened slightly.

Li Luo should be safe inside.

Since that was the case, then there was nothing to worry about.

As for the rest of the people... Li Li Lingjing's gaze, calm as a deep pool, swept over those present, including the people of Li Li Tianwang's line.

Then they can fend for themselves.
