Chapter 1092

"Huh? Senior, what are you saying?"

Gai Nie couldn't help but be stunned; he had never expected this.

Not only had the Divine Physician seen through his thoughts, he had even guessed his identity and origins?

Hadn't this Divine Physician always been living in seclusion on the back mountain of this Jinghu Medical Manor?

"Alright, alright, it's no big deal if you won't admit it."

The Divine Physician didn't argue with him, merely saying,

"This Nine Springs Emerald Blood Jade Leaf Flower is truly one of the rarest wondrous flowers in the world.

Its requirements for where it grows are extremely demanding.

It must gather the essence of the sun and moon, and at the same time contain the qi of yin and yang, and the geographical advantage of the power of the five elements, only then can it grow.

A single growth cycle requires a hundred years before it can bloom.

The blooming lasts no more than half a quarter-hour; if you don't harvest it by my method, its medicinal properties will instantly be lost.

Most crucially, once it loses its medicinal properties, when the time is up, it will immediately wilt and die.

And then that place of growth will never again produce this wondrous flower."

"Oh? Such marvels?"

Hearing the Divine Physician's lengthy description, Gai Nie was also filled with curiosity about this Nine Springs Emerald Blood Jade Leaf Flower he had never seen.

Yet in his heart he still didn't take it seriously; even if he couldn't find this Nine Springs Emerald Blood Jade Leaf Flower, perhaps he could still find a way to obtain a Lian Wuhen Soul-Returning Pill!

"Naturally."

This time the Divine Physician didn't see through Gai Nie's thoughts, merely saying,

"Therefore, to find this Nine Springs Emerald Blood Jade Leaf Flower, there is no other way but to ask that old divine cheat to step in."

Hearing this, Gai Nie immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

After such a long detour, the Divine Physician had finally gotten to the key point.

Clearly he was hoping that Gai Nie could help him find his old friend the Clay Bodhisattva.

In fact, Gai Nie was a man of the Weirenzheng Sect, rich in a chivalrous heart.

Setting aside the fact that the Divine Physician had saved Miss Duanmu, just from Gai Nie's own heart, he was willing to help the Divine Physician.

It's just that the Clay Bodhisattva himself was a grand master of divining the heavenly secrets; if he wished to hide, probably few people could find him.

And if he had been captured by someone, the other party's background was surely no small matter.

The dangers within, Gai Nie didn't necessarily dare to guarantee either.

"Senior, if that's the case, this junior will go find Senior Clay Bodhisattva right now.

It's just that this will take a long time, and when exactly I find him, this junior truly cannot guarantee."

Gai Nie didn't complain either, merely saying that he needed time.

Seeing his sincerity, the Divine Physician also nodded with delight on his face, saying,

"You kid are truly not bad; clearly finding that old divine cheat is no easy task, yet you're still willing to take it.

How about this! To find the Clay Bodhisattva, you must first find the Fire Monkey.

That old divine cheat, because he leaked too much of the heavenly secrets, incurred the wrath of the Heavenly Dao and suffered backlash.

Therefore his face is covered in pustules, in excruciating pain.

Even I cannot cure him…"

Saying this, the Divine Physician sighed again, clearly feeling great regret at being unable to cure the pustules on the Clay Bodhisattva's face.

Before Gai Nie could say anything, the Divine Physician continued,

"Therefore I found him a Fire Monkey with the bloodline of a spirit beast; this Fire Monkey's licking can lessen his pain.

So as long as you find this Fire Monkey, you'll be able to find the Clay Bodhisattva."

Hearing this, Gai Nie immediately felt greatly amazed.

Now that the great contention of the world has begun, even divine dragons occasionally appear in the human realm.

In the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, there are even unknown, ferociously powerful demon beasts.

This one Fire Monkey with the bloodline of a spirit beast naturally couldn't be considered especially wondrous.

But the wondrous part is, the Divine Physician could actually use the Fire Monkey's licking to heal the Clay Bodhisattva's wounds and reduce his pain.

You must know that the Clay Bodhisattva's pustules were caused by the backlash of fortune!

The Divine Physician's methods are truly not to be underestimated!

"Then this will be easy; this junior will go right now…"

Gai Nie felt greatly assured in his heart, preparing to take his leave with Miss Duanmu.

But the Divine Physician suddenly snatched Miss Duanmu from his hands.

The skill of the move was such that even Gai Nie couldn't react in time.

Just as Gai Nie was puzzled, the Divine Physician tossed a cherry-sized fruit into Gai Nie's hand,

"This is the Fire Bodhi, also a rare wondrous fruit, deeply loved by fire-type spirit beasts.

Because the Fire Monkey belongs to fire, when you carry this Fire Bodhi within a hundred li of it, this Fire Bodhi will turn red all over.

The closer you get to the Fire Monkey, the brighter this Fire Bodhi naturally becomes.

With it, you'll be able to find the Fire Monkey faster."

"Then Rong…"

Gai Nie held the Fire Bodhi, gazing at Miss Duanmu with reluctance.

"Don't worry; Rong girl and I have the bond of master and disciple, I will naturally take good care of her.

This time you go to find the Clay Bodhisattva, you're bound to encounter quite a few twists and turns; bringing her along would just be a burden."

Though the Divine Physician's words were harsh, the reasoning behind them was sound.

Hearing Gai Nie could only cast a deep glance at Miss Duanmu, then carefully stored the Fire Bodhi, bowed once to the Divine Physician, and immediately employed the Guigu Lightness Art to leave this rear mountain.

He needed to find the Mud Bodhisattva as quickly as possible, to obtain the Nine Springs Jade Blood Flower for Miss Duanmu.

877 This Fire Monkey really entered this Savage Mountain?

After taking leave of the Divine Physician, Hearing Gai Nie also left Jinghu Medical Manor on his own, then took the Fire Bodhi in hand, wanting to find the Fire Monkey.

The Guigu Lightness Art was, in itself, an extraordinary lightness skill.

Hearing Gai Nie first headed north from Jinghu Medical Manor.

After all, Yunzhou lay to the north of Great Qin, and since the Mud Bodhisattva and the Divine Physician both came from Great Qin, they had clearly arrived from the north as well.

Covering a thousand li in a day, he traveled for two consecutive days.

Hearing Gai Nie found nothing, nearly running all the way to Great Qin's northern frontier.

Further north lay a deep mountain connected to the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

And because this place was connected to the Hundred Thousand Mountains, further north was Yunzhou, while to the east lay Great Han and Great Yuan.

Before the Qinglong Society came into the world, this region was plagued by constant warfare, so very few commoners ever came here.

Thus this entire stretch was the famous no-man's-land of the Qin Huang dynasty.

Looking at the dim Fire Bodhi in his hand, Hearing Gai Nie wondered if he had been thinking along the wrong lines.

Not far from the foot of the mountain, there happened to be a market town.

He realized he had been traveling for two days without a drop of water or a grain of rice.

A frontier market town—who knew, perhaps there might be some news worth investigating?

At once, Hearing Gai Nie put away the Fire Bodhi and stepped into the market town.

The moment he entered, he immediately realized he was being watched.

Though the foot traffic in the market town was sparse, the moment Hearing Gai Nie extended his senses, he could tell that most of the people here carried Wu Gong within them.

Among them, the outstanding ones possessed cultivation no lower than the Great Grandmaster level.

Hearing Gai Nie was inwardly curious—how could such a remote frontier market town attract so many martial practitioners?

Though a Great Grandmaster was nothing remarkable, among common folk they were still a considerable force.

"Kid, where are you from? What are you doing in our Feihuang Town?"

While he was pondering, he saw a big fellow with a face full of flesh, leading several companions, come over and surround him.

This big fellow only had Grandmaster-level cultivation, but none of his several companions were below the First-Rate realm.

Hearing Gai Nie replied casually,

"I've merely come to the Savage Mountain in the north to look for a medicinal herb, and happened to pass through your town to rest for a bit."
