ALL NOVEL Chapter 91
Upon seeing this scene.
The other Medicine Kings exchanged helpless glances.
Ever since the Medicine Sovereign ascended to the Immortal Realm, this figure had long been the ruler of Medicine King Valley.
Its personality had always been very introverted, afraid of new experiences, not good at communicating with others, and its favorite thing to do was to quietly be alone, isolated from the world.
Until the Medicine Sovereign left, it entered a long period of sleep, passing through countless years in silence.
“Dear Great Mushroom King, Medicine King Valley needs you to save us!”
“The Human Race cultivators have invaded! They are wildly capturing our kin; we must resist, or we’ll just sit here and wait for death!”
“Great Mushroom King, we’re counting on you!!”
The Medicine Kings were excited, each voicing their thoughts.
From behind a stone pillar, a round head slowly peeked out, and the Great Mushroom King was extremely startled. It carefully organized its words and said, “How is this possible? As long as we’re in Medicine King Valley, the Human Race cultivators cannot defeat the Medicine Race…”
It vaguely remembered how the Medicine Sovereign had confidently asserted in the past that there was no possibility for Human Race cultivators to enter Medicine King Valley and pose a threat to the Medicine Race unless they were the top genius of all ages, strong to an unprecedented degree!
But now, it heard this news.
The Great Mushroom King felt a bit scared and didn’t want to get involved in this mess anymore…
“It’s true! Many of our kin have already fallen to their poisonous hands; only you can save Medicine King Valley now!”
“Your strength is the strongest, and your rank is the highest. As long as you step in, the Medicine Race will surely unite to fight back against these invaders!”
The Medicine Kings chattered excitedly.
“No, I can’t do it!”
The Great Mushroom King shook its head like a bobblehead, feeling unable to bear this heavy responsibility, it whispered, “Friends, I just want to stay quietly here. Besides, the opening of Medicine King Valley has time limits. When it closes, those Humans will be teleported away, and during this time, it’s safer for you all to stay hidden…”
It had said so much, but by the end, its voice was getting smaller.
The Medicine Kings were almost frantic. Did this trip have to be in vain?
Among them, the Red Essence suddenly had a light bulb moment, “Great Mushroom King, you’re thinking too simply! Do you really think the cunning Humans will let you off? You’re the oldest existence in Medicine King Valley; they’ll definitely come looking for you. Wanting to stay out of it is just a dream!”
“Ah? Will many Humans come looking for me?” Upon hearing this, the Great Mushroom King became even more afraid, wishing it could just find a crack in the ground to hide in, not wanting to come out even if it was the end of the world.
The Red Essence continued, “If they catch you, they’ll definitely surround you, thinking about how to pick you apart, or take you out to auction so more Humans will know you!”
“Please, stop talking…” The Great Mushroom King was almost at its breaking point, its body trembling.
Just thinking about being locked in a cage surrounded by a sea of people made it want to just pass out on the spot!
“Great Mushroom King, the solution is quite simple. Among these Human cultivators, there are a few particularly troublesome ones. As long as you step in and suppress them, the rest we can handle ourselves!”
Seeing the opportunity, the Red Essence said.
“Yeah, helping us is also helping yourself. After you achieve this, you can return to your peaceful slumber here, and we won’t bother you again!” The other Medicine Kings chimed in.
The Great Mushroom King fell into silence, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.
After a while, it relented, “Alright, I’ll just step in to deal with a few of the strongest Human cultivators; the rest is up to you!”
“Great Mushroom King, thank you!” The Medicine Kings jumped with joy, eager to crowd around and express their gratitude.
This action startled the Great Mushroom King, who shrank back behind the stone pillar again, trembling, “Y-you all stay back, keep your distance! Give me a moment to adjust my state, and I’ll come out!”
“Oh!”
The Medicine Kings had no choice but to retreat silently.
Among them, one companion sighed, “Sigh, seeing it like this, can it really suppress those Human cultivators? I feel like it’s a bit unreliable.”
“Hmph, don’t underestimate it. According to the rules of Medicine King Valley, the strength that a being like the Great Mushroom King can exert is unimaginable. Besides, a mere Qi Refining cultivator, how strong can they be? They might be able to beat a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but can they really take on a Golden Core?”
“Good point. I’ll spread this news to unite the Medicine Race to resist those Human cultivators!”
At this moment.
After repeatedly preparing itself mentally, the Great Mushroom King finally dared to step out of the dark passage and see the light again.
When the sunlight hit it, the Great Mushroom King felt a sense of unease, like a prisoner who had been isolated for too long in jail, released to see the bustling world, feeling very timid and apprehensive.
“Medicine Sovereign, how are you now?” The Great Mushroom King gazed at the sky, lost in thought.
“Great Mushroom King, hurry up and catch up with us!”
“Okay, okay!”
……
In the jungle, Master Randel and his companions were marching forward in grandeur.
The cultivators following behind felt extremely at ease, no longer fearing being captured and tortured by the Medicine Race; instead, the precious medicines they encountered along the way fled in fear as if they were antelopes meeting a pack of tigers.
“Master Randel, I’m the Supreme Elder of the Setting Sun Sect. When we leave Medicine King Valley, could we buy a few precious medicines from you? Rest assured, the price will definitely satisfy you!” An old man in gray robes took out a jade pendant to show his identity and spoke respectfully.
He had thought about communicating secretly, but since everyone was at the ninth level of Qi Refining, how could anyone hide such a transmission? It was better to speak freely! It showed sincerity!
Master Randel clasped his hands together, meaningfully saying, “Amitabha, meeting is fate. My Buddha only saves those with fate; as long as you have sincerity, believe you will get what you wish for.”
The gray-robed elder was overjoyed upon hearing this, “Thank you, Master!”
Suddenly, the crowd grew noisy, with important cultivators scrambling to place orders with Master Randel for precious medicines.
“Master! I want Thunderstrike Wood! Price is up to you!”
“I want Dragon’s Blood Grass!”
“Master, Master!”
The monks from the Hanging Temple were all very excited, as it seemed they could cash in on this opportunity.
Master Randel’s expression turned sympathetic, sighing, “Alas, it’s an honor for this old monk to be needed by you, my friends!”
At that moment.
A sudden change occurred!
A large number of lively little creatures swarmed over, all kinds of rare precious medicines, radiating overwhelming vitality.
“Master Randel, it’s an ambush!” Someone exclaimed.
Master Randel was stunned for a moment, then sneered, “Good, this old monk was worrying about how to find you; you all came right to my door!”
“Old bald donkey, don’t get too cocky!” A group of Medicine Kings sprang out, indignant.
Master Randel’s eyes narrowed, a greedy glint flashing in his gaze.
This is a great opportunity granted by my Buddha!
If I could capture all of them, how much benefit would that bring?
“Stubborn fools, let this old monk enlighten you.” Master Randel took steps like a blooming lotus, his entire being radiating splendid golden Buddha Light, exuding a sacred aura.
“Take this!”
The Medicine Kings launched an all-out attack.
A surge of energy swept over, frightening everyone.
Boom~
A thick cloud of smoke enveloped the area, and a golden figure slowly emerged, walking steadfastly like an old monk seeking scriptures from the West.
“What powerful defense!”
The Medicine Kings were all surprised.
“Great Mushroom King, it’s your turn to act! Suppress this old bald donkey!” The Red Essence shouted.
“Requesting Great Mushroom King to help! Suppress the Human Race!”
The beings of the Medicine Race all pleaded.
Upon hearing this title, many cultivators felt their scalps tingle in fear.
A Great Demon King?
Is there actually a Great Demon King hiding here?!!
“What? Is there actually a Demonic Cultivator stationed in Medicine King Valley?” Master Randel wondered, perplexed.
As a result, amidst the shouting and calling, that figure who had not yet appeared.
Seeing this, the Red Essence had no choice but to rush over, forcefully pushing the Great Mushroom King out, “It’s your turn! Don’t let us down!”
The Great Mushroom King shrank back, extremely reluctant. Upon seeing the densely packed cultivators staring at it, it trembled all over, almost turning to run.
“Isn’t this just a mushroom?!”
Everyone was taken aback, then burst into laughter, “So this is what you all call the Great Mushroom King! Hahaha…”
Hearing the laughter, the Great Mushroom King felt even worse, lowering its head and daring not to respond. If it could see its face, it would surely be redder than a monkey’s butt!
“This, this is…” Master Randel stared at the Great Mushroom King, his expression shifting from confusion, bewilderment, shock, to ultimate joy.
In the ancient texts of Hanging Temple, there was a record of an ancient herb shaped like a mushroom, entirely black, called the Undying Chaos Mushroom!
According to the records, if a cultivator could refine and swallow it, their strength would experience an unprecedented surge, and their lifespan could extend for a million years. If cooked as soup, it could strengthen the body and refine the meridians; long-term consumption might even grant the appearance of an Immortal!
Master Randel trembled with excitement, breathing heavily.
If he obtained this ancient herb, becoming an Immortal would be a piece of cake!
This is a fantastic opportunity!
“It must be the sincerity of this old monk that has moved Buddha and brought such a blessing! My Buddha is merciful~”
