Chapter 37: Fellow Daoists Are Great Tonic Pills
Mohe the Perfected Being's face split open with a gash, blood flowing freely, yet he paid it no mind.
Just as he was about to mock Li Qiuchen's naivety, he felt dizzy and his expression changed drastically.
The wooden spikes were poisoned!
The poison in Li Qiuchen's hands couldn't be called very advanced, but it was all personally tasted by him, mouthful by mouthful, in the mountains.
Pure and natural with no pesticides, especially effective against the Medicine Master lineage.
Ordinary toxins had no effect on the Medicine Master lineage. At most, they'd feel uncomfortable after consuming them, but could endure and convert them into nutritional substances.
Only hallucinogenic toxins would have an effect.
The reasoning was simple. Ordinary toxins mostly affected the blood, while hallucinogenic toxins affected the nervous system and the nervous system, for the Medicine Master lineage, was dispensable, something they fundamentally wouldn't focus on cultivating.
When the toxin spread, Mohe the Perfected Being immediately felt dizzy, his vision darkening, completely unable to lock onto the young man's position.
He reached out to grab, but caught nothing.Turning his head again, he discovered Li Qiuchen standing beside him, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if mocking him.
This little brat does have some skill! I underestimated him!
Mohe the Perfected Being's heart jumped, and his mindset unconsciously transformed.
Having fought desperately to escape from Blue Stone Platform, his strength was already greatly damaged, and the trump cards on his person were mostly exhausted. Those government hounds were extremely elite and formidable, not so easy to shake off. If he couldn't deal with this kid quickly and exhausted his last bit of strength, when the government hounds really caught up, that would be disastrous.
Thinking of this, Mohe the Perfected Being decided to change tactics. No longer holding back, he would quickly resolve the battle. Immediately, his hands formed seals, casting spells and chanting. Two large nearby trees suddenly uprooted, baring fangs and brandishing claws as they surrounded Li Qiuchen.
Li Qiuchen neither dodged nor evaded, allowing the large trees to swing their branches and strike his body.
Dust rose. Where was his figure?
Mohe the Perfected Being looked around in alarm and uncertainty, discovering Li Qiuchen had appeared not far away, the smile on his face increasingly strange.
What is this kid scheming?
Li Qiuchen wasn't scheming anything. After using his ocular technique to guide the poisoned Mohe the Perfected Being into hallucinations, he turned and ran.
Who's going to fight you? Out of nowhere, why would I create this karma with you?
Of the thirty-six stratagems, fleeing is best.
Of course, with his strength, the illusion he cast couldn't trap Mohe the Perfected Being for long.
Li Qiuchen only hoped that after this guy came to his senses, he'd quickly run away and not keep chasing him relentlessly.
The forest is so big, where isn't there a bite to eat? Why insist on competing with me?
But clearly, Mohe the Perfected Being didn't agree with this.
They say humans are rational creatures, but most people most of the time aren't rational.
He hadn't run far when he heard Mohe the Perfected Being's exasperated roar from behind.
"Little brat! How dare you toy with your grandfather!"
This idiot is actually chasing.
Are you sick? Purely mentally ill.
Hearing footsteps rapidly approaching from behind, Li Qiuchen suddenly turned around. His eyes met Mohe the Perfected Being's eyes that mixed anger with greed. A faint light flashed, and Mohe the Perfected Being froze in place again.
A crane cry from the sky. The white crane spread its wings, gliding past the treetops. A sword light flashed, directly piercing through Mohe the Perfected Being's head.
The white crane landed, spreading its wings nearly a zhang long, circling out elegant yet deadly dance steps.
Wings crossing up and down, the sharp feathered wings like chainsaws cut Mohe the Perfected Being's body into three sections.
Mohe the Perfected Being felt extremely aggrieved in his heart, yet had nowhere to complain.
Being able to escape from Blue Stone Platform, he'd already paid a heavy price. Now he was strong on the outside but weak within.
Finally encountering a lone little brat who actually possessed such pure Medicine Master blessing on his body.
He'd thought the Medicine Master was being merciful, specially letting him pick up such a miraculous elixir for free but hadn't expected the other's sinister cunning far exceeded his imagination.
Not only using despicable tricks like poison, he actually had helpers lurking in the shadows waiting to strike!
How can a person be shameless to this degree?
Do you have any moral awareness as food ingredients?
Lying on the ground playing dead for a moment, the surroundings were extremely quiet. That little brat fundamentally had no intention of coming over to verify the results.
Mohe the Perfected Being struggled to raise his head. Looking, the person had already fled without a trace.
Shameless! Beast!
While cursing, he grabbed his lower half and installed it back in its original position.
The magical power that was already scarce within his body was now finally completely exhausted.
Giving up was impossible.
The current situation was like a person walking out from an uninhabited zone, starving for three days and three nights with green-glowing eyes, desperately wanting to eat.
Although there were grass roots and tree bark to barely fill the stomach, when such a big braised pork knuckle flew past your eyes, could you resist not chasing?
Even if hope was slim, one must still strive!
Immortal cultivators fundamentally snatched a thread of survival from between heaven and earth. If not now, when?
After recovering from his injuries and panting in the forest for a moment, feeling he'd recovered several parts of his strength, Mohe the Perfected Being gritted his teeth and chased after the trail Li Qiuchen left behind.
"This person is really persistent. Probably belongs to the donkey family."
Sensing the disturbance from the mountain forest behind, Li Qiuchen couldn't help but sigh, "This fellow's temperament is vicious, his will resolute. His future achievements may be immeasurable."
The stupid bird sent over an eye roll.
"Gaga!"
If you let me slash one more sword, he might die completely.
"That's absolutely impossible. Since he could escape from Blue Stone Platform, he must have trump cards to preserve his life. Either magical treasures or secret techniques. In any case... you absolutely mustn't underestimate a Medicine Master follower's survival conviction."
Li Qiuchen judged others by himself. A good child like me can't resist the impulse to fall. What good bird could others be?
You say this lacks dignity?
What qualifications does a little brat like me have to talk about dignity?
If you give me a cheat now and let me have Jiang Tingyue's cultivation, I'll immediately stand still and teach that Mohe the Perfected Being what dignity means.
Li Qiuchen didn't dare slow his pace at all, while also thinking about an important question in his heart.
How was it such a coincidence that after running so far, Mohe the Perfected Being, who used earth escape to flee from Blue Stone Platform, could spawn so precisely in his face?
It couldn't possibly be because the escape route he carefully selected happened to coincide with his thinking, right?
Logically, he'd never met Mohe the Perfected Being, and the other couldn't possibly know of his existence.
People who similarly possessed the Medicine Master's blessing could indeed sense that hidden aura on each other at close distance but that was close distance, at least within visual range.
