Martial Peak

Medicine King’s Valley, Hidden Cloud Peak, halfway up the mountain, Yang Kai and Dong Qing Yan, both carrying a medicine basket, searched around the forest looking for herbs.

This task that Old Xiao had given them was not difficult to complete. The herbs they needed to find where nothing rare and could be found growing in the wild quite easily.

The only reason they did not immediately finish was that the required age of each herb was quite high.

For each one, they needed to be at least thirty years old.

The two of them scoured the mountain for most of the afternoon, yet they still couldn’t find a few of the herbs they were searching for.

“Aunty Xiang said that for the Iron Bone Grass, ten stalks would be enough.” Dong Qing Yan cracked her fingers, her brow wrinkling slightly, “Cousin, we’re still missing one.”

Yang Kai looked around him at the forest and also frowned, “I’m afraid Hidden Cloud Peak doesn’t have any more of these herbs, we should probably go to other places to search.”

Dong Qing Yan glanced towards him and giggled, “You mean… Pill Saint’s Peak perhaps?

Yang Kai glanced back at her.

And so, the two of them, reaching a tacit understanding, began walking towards Pill Saint’s Peak.

Pill Saint’s Peak was the ultimate forbidden zone in Medicine King’s Valley, Common Disciples could not even approach to within three thousand meters of its summit; however, the region below three thousand meters was still accessible.

With their objective set, the two of them proceeded towards Pill Saint’s Peak.

“We should split up to search.” Yang Kai said as he lightly coughed.

“En.” Dong Qing Yan nodded and laughed, she clearly knew what Yang Kai wanted and naturally wouldn’t bring it up, instead simply saying, “Be careful out there.”

“I know.”

Carrying his basket, Yang Kai strode slowly towards Pill Saint’s Peak while casually looking for Iron Bone Grass and secretly observed his surroundings for any signs of movement.

Half an hour later, as Yang Kai meandered back and forth, he ‘unintentionally’ found himself only a thousand meters away from Pill Saint’s Peak.

Quietly, he looked up, Yang Kai was surprised to find a great stone statue standing at the top of Pill Saint’s Peak. Obviously, this statue was of the Pill Saint himself.

This stone statue was at least a hundred meters tall, a magnificent work of art. Even separated by a thousand meters, Yang Kai could still clearly see its top half.

The stone was worn here and there, yet after all these many years, enduring wind and rain, it was still proudly standing.

Yang Kai wanted to release his Divine Sense in order to get a better look, but he hesitated.

Although he could not see anyone right now, there was no doubt a master guarding the peak.
