Ultimate Village Doctor

Chapter Three Hundred and Eighty-Five

"Xiaoshan, did something happen downstairs last night?" Bai Susu came downstairs and noticed the mess, where the floor and medicine cabinets that had just been repaired a few days ago were smashed again.

"It's nothing, Auntie Su, some people did come last night looking for trouble, but I've already taken care of it," Long Xiaoshan said.

"Xiaoshan, there won't be any problems, right?"

Bai Susu, with a worried face, thought of yesterday's auction. Although Bai's Medicinal Materials was the center of attention, it's often said that the tree that stands out in the forest gets blown down by the wind. Isn't that why the truly wealthy always try to keep a low profile? By standing out, Bai's Medicinal Materials also put itself at the forefront of danger.

The magic artifacts, elixir pills, and Snow Lotus auctioned by Bai's Medicinal Materials were each worth hundreds of millions.

It was only natural for those with ulterior motives to spy on them.

Long Xiaoshan said, "Don't worry, Auntie Su, I've got everything under control."

Looking at Long Xiaoshan's young but determined face, Bai Susu seemed to find a sense of reliance, despite the fact that he was much younger than her. It seemed that ever since she met Long Xiaoshan, any trouble that arose could be easily resolved by this young man.

"Alright, but be careful yourself. I'll arrange for someone to repair this damage now," she said.

Bai Susu was busy dealing with the company's affairs.

Since Bai's Medicinal Materials had gained fame, more people were seeking cooperation, and she had over ten billion in capital to use for expansion. Thus, she couldn't stop, and the amount of work suddenly increased several times over.

Long Xiaoshan, on the other hand, returned to his room to contemplate how to enhance his strength further.

He wasn't worried about the safety of Bai's Medicinal Materials.

There are no walls without cracks in the world, and although no one witnessed him killing Tie Qiong and the others,

the fact that so many Xuan Level Experts died here

couldn't possibly be kept completely secret.

No matter how Tie Qiong and the others went missing,

just knowing that it happened here was enough to make most people think twice before approaching Bai's Medicinal Materials. Xuan Level Experts aren't a dime a dozen, and Tie Qiong was even a formidable figure in the Xuan-level Late Stage. The death of such a person could cause shockwaves throughout the Cultivation World.

Unless someone was beyond help, no one would recklessly come to Bai's Medicinal Materials seeking danger again.

Furthermore, his formation wasn't just for show.

Once it was truly completed, even Xuan Level Experts would not be able to break in.

What he was more concerned about now was the reaction of the Iron Palm Gang. If the Iron Palm Gang stubbornly continued on their path and came looking for trouble now, he would find it difficult to resist. However, he had tampered with that piece of paper, and he believed the Gang Leader of the Iron Palm Gang wasn't so foolish as to rely solely on brute force; it should work.

Long Xiaoshan took out the items he had seized last night from the Elder of the Black Scale Sect and Tie Qiong and the others.

There was nothing on Tie Qiong and the others that caught his interest, not even their worldly possessions. However, the Elder of the Black Scale Sect was a Spirit Master who liked to collect items with spiritual energy.

Long Xiaoshan turned over a pitch-black wooden token, which had the word "Elder" on one side and "Muma" on the other.

This must be the Elder's Token of the Black Scale Gate, and the Elder he killed was named Muma.

The Elder he killed last time was a Steward.

It seems the hierarchy of the Black Scale Gate is not much different from that in the ancient martial world, with Spirit Masters as Elders and Spirit Practitioners as Stewards. From what Master Zhong, who came from the capital, said last time, the Black Scale Gate even has Grand Spirit Masters. This sect gave him a more dangerous impression than the Iron Palm Gang. The way these Elders conducted themselves showed they were utterly unscrupulous.

He put aside the token and continued to search through the belongings of the Elder of the Black Scale Sect.

Some elixir pills didn't catch his interest at all, but one Magic Artifact, the Black Soul Banner, had better material than the Hundred Ghosts Banner he had obtained last time. When he saw several black crystals, Long Xiaoshan's eyes slightly lit up, "Sinister Crystals."

According to the Blood Buddha's legacy, this material, the Sinister Crystal, formed from the condensation of the Yin energy in pure Yin cavities.

It could be used to nurture ghostly creatures, but for him, using it to refine Sinister Pills would yield even better results.

The Sinister Pill was of a higher level than the Yin Yuan Pill, and refining the Sinister Pills for Yue Ling's use would certainly take Yue Ling's strength to the next level. Now that he was on his own, no matter how strong he was, he couldn't look after everything. It was time to consolidate some forces.

After putting away the Sinister Crystals,

Long Xiaoshan saw several other materials. Finally, he picked up a piece of torn cloth of unknown material, and upon opening it, it turned out to be a map. However, the map was incomplete, with a very ancient character on it that he would not have recognized if he hadn't received the Blood Buddha's legacy—it was the character "Ping".

The map gave him an ancient feeling as well, but he had no idea where it pointed to.

Although curious, with just a broken map, Long Xiaoshan couldn't figure out anything special.

So, he could only toss it into his ring.

After storing those items away, Long Xiaoshan took out the Pill Furnace and began to refine Sinister Pills...

In the southwest, deep within the Yunkun Mountain Range.

Inside the gully headquarters of the Iron Palm Gang.

All the experts of the Iron Palm Gang had gathered together because they had received devastating news from afar. Now the entire Iron Palm Gang felt as if a storm was coming, filled with oppression.

Even the Great Elder, who had not appeared in a long time, showed up.

The Iron Palm Gang Leader Qiu Zhen sat at the top, the positions on both sides were for the gang's fourteen elders.

But now seven seats were empty.

Elder Bi Liang, who had escaped back from Hechuan City, was there, tearfully accusing Long Xiaoshan of his brutal slaughter.

"Gang Leader, seven Xuan-level members of our Iron Palm Gang, even Elder Tie Qiong is dead. I suggest we immediately set out for Hechuan City and exterminate everyone from Bai's Medicinal Materials," an elder cried out with tears of blood.

"Since our battle with the Tang Family, after being expelled from Xichuan Province, our Iron Palm Gang has never suffered such a heavy loss. This blood sea of deep hatred must be cleansed with blood."

"It's not enough to kill to wipe away the humiliation suffered by our Iron Palm Gang."

One after another, the elders' roars echoed through the hall, reverberating loudly.

The death of Yu Cheng in Hechuan City last time was not much of an issue for the old men of the Iron Palm Gang, as he was just a junior. However, this time, with the death of several Xuan-level elders, who were nearly all part of the older generation and brothers of their martial arts, it was unbearable to lose six of them in one go, and some of the more emotional elders even broke down in tears.

Men do have tears, but they seldom shed them—it's just that they hadn't reached the point of true heartbreak.

Though ancient martial arts practitioners were far stronger than ordinary people, that didn't mean they were devoid of feelings.

Decades of companionship with their martial brothers, even surpassing their relationships with family.

Qiu Zhen sat at the top, his eyebrows knitted and his gaze solemn, with anger flickering in his eyes. Since he took control of the Iron Palm Gang, the gang had soared, and he was even hailed as a once-in-a-century talent most likely to step into the Grandmaster Realm.

He had also always been strategizing behind the scenes, seldom encountering setbacks. But this time, the loss was so great he found it hard to believe.

He had sent Tie Qiong to Hechuan City along with six elders, intending to bring back the Century-Old Snow Lotus, but not only did they fail to retrieve the Snow Lotus, nearly all of them perished in one blow. He stared at Bi Liang and slowly asked, "Elder Bi, how did you manage to escape?"

Even Tie Qiong had died, yet Bi Liang, a mere Xuan Level Beginner Stage, had managed to escape back and without much injury.
