AWB Chapter 184 Medicine King Temple
Chapter 184 Medicine King Temple
"Medicine King Temple?"
What was that? Tao Tao had never heard of it before, and she didn't know why this Fiery Rabbit had approached her. Was it because she was the only other demon beast? That was highly likely.
"Yes, it's the Medicine King Temple. I don't know if you've ever heard of an eighth-grade alchemist who called himself the Medicine King. He was one of the nine top alchemists and founded the Divine Doctor Valley. After that, he disappeared without a trace. Everyone thought he must have ascended to the Immortal Realm long ago, but that's not the case. He perished tens of thousands of years ago, and the Medicine King Temple is where he fell."
The Fiery Rabbit explained that it seemed to know this person very well, but it was only a fourth-order demon beast. How could it possibly have come into contact with the legendary eighth-grade alchemist?
Tao Tao may seem naive, but she's not really stupid; she would never easily believe what the Flaming Rabbit says.
"Oh, so?" Tao Tao feigned indifference and asked casually, which made the Flaming Fire Rabbit a little anxious. It quickly said, "I just heard you say that you were looking for some kind of healing magic artifact or elixir. You absolutely have to go to the Medicine King Temple. I heard that there is a low-grade elixir called the Nine Revolutions Soul Refining Pill inside. This elixir can not only heal serious injuries, but also repair spiritual roots, refine Qi, and revive the soul. It has the effect of bringing the dead back to life."
"Repairing spiritual roots, refining Qi, reviving the dead, and bringing them back to life?"
Tao Tao immediately grasped the key point. This was indeed exactly what she needed. If what the Flaming Fire Rabbit said was true, then Bai Yan could definitely recover!
Thinking of this, Tao Tao was very excited and was about to agree when he suddenly realized a problem. He immediately straightened his face and questioned, "How do you know what I said? I was clearly transmitting my voice, how could you hear me?"
"This is a unique ability of our clan. It's not that I intentionally wanted to eavesdrop. This ability is completely uncontrollable and will automatically receive the voice transmissions of those around us. However, if someone's cultivation level is higher than mine, there's nothing I can do about it."
The Fiery Rabbit hurriedly explained, afraid that Tao Tao might get annoyed and stop paying attention to it. After all, it had finally found Tao Tao, who was also a monster, and it couldn't afford to miss this opportunity.
"There's actually such an ability?" Tao Tao squinted, not entirely believing it.
“Everything I’ve said is true, and I’m not lying. If you’re interested in the Medicine King Temple, I can take you there.”
Tao Tao is still interested in the Medicine King Temple, mainly wanting to get the Nine-Turn Soul Refining Pill, but the problem is, how can she save it? Should she bid on it?
Tao Tao glanced at the price tag next to him and fell silent for a moment.
"Ten thousand spirit stones..."
"Is that a lot? I'm the Fiery Rabbit, you'll definitely make a profit with just ten thousand spirit stones!"
Unexpectedly, Tao Tao was hesitating about the spirit stones, which made the Fiery Rabbit so anxious that it jumped up and down, wishing it could jump out of its cage. It was a noble Fiery Rabbit! What were these spirit stones?
"Make money? I don't think so." Tao Tao seemed thoughtful, mainly because he didn't quite believe what the Flaming Rabbit said, and he needed to ask someone else.
Tao Tao connected with Si Xiaoxiao using her divine soul. Since the Flaming Fire Rabbit could hear her telepathic communication, she simply decided not to use telepathy, otherwise she wouldn't achieve her goal.
"What is it? You finally contacted me after all this time. Is there something you want to ask me?" Si Xiaoxiao yawned in the spirit beast pouch, sounding like she hadn't woken up yet. Ever since she obtained the Heaven-Mending Pill, she had returned to the spirit beast pouch and had been in seclusion cultivating. She had no idea what had happened, nor did she know that Tao Tao had already left the Annihilation Cold Sect.
It wasn't that Tao Tao didn't contact Si Xiaoxiao; rather, she simply forgot about her. If she hadn't wanted to know about the Medicine King, she probably would never have remembered him.
Do you know the Medicine King Temple?
Si Xiaoxiao, being the spirit beast of a great cultivator from ten thousand years ago, should probably know about this Medicine King. After all, there were probably only a few great cultivators of the same era, so it's normal for them to know each other.
"The Medicine King? I know him. Why did you suddenly bring him up? I just told you not to covet his mantle. It's probably already been divided up by the Divine Doctor Valley. But back then, he obtained a Chaos Sacred Cauldron and used it to refine a near-ninth-grade pill, the Nine-Turn Soul Refining Pill. My master had asked him for it before, but he was too stingy to part with it. Later, he ascended to immortality through the tribulation before my master, but he died in the tribulation."
"Died in the lightning tribulation? So he didn't ascend but perished?"
This is exactly what the Fiery Rabbit said, but it's still quite regrettable that such a powerful being didn't ascend.
"What makes him think he can ascend? He merely used the pills he had to forcibly boost his cultivation. He's utterly vulnerable under a true tribulation. Our master warned him back then not to take risks, but he wouldn't listen. We should have just given the Nine-Turn Soul Refining Pill to our master; maybe he could have helped him during his tribulation..."
Whenever her master is mentioned, Si Xiaoxiao talks non-stop, as if she wants to recount all of her master's deeds.
However, the fact that Fang Heng could make Si Xiaoxiao so devoted to him speaks volumes about his abilities.
"It seems the Medicine King Temple is real after all." Tao Tao interrupted her, his mind completely focused on the Medicine King. Si Xiaoxiao pouted, somewhat unwilling, and asked irritably, "What's the Medicine King Temple? The place where he fell? What, you want to go treasure hunting again? You're not after that Nine-Turn Soul Refining Pill, are you?"
"You're really smart."
Tao Tao didn't shy away from it at all and readily admitted it.
"You really want the Nine-Turn Soul Refining Pill? Forget about it. Let me tell you, that old guy is incredibly stingy. He would never leave such a precious thing to anyone else. Besides, he's been dead for so many years. His spirit beasts were probably all wiped out in that lightning tribulation. There's no way anyone will be guarding his grave. It might have been stolen long ago."
"That's not necessarily true. How will we know if we don't try?"
As long as the Medicine King is real, Tao Tao is willing to believe it. What if she really can find the Nine-Turn Soul Refining Pill?
"Little rabbit, you better not be lying to me, or I'll skin you alive!" Tao Tao threatened the Fiery Rabbit. Hearing this meant that the Fiery Rabbit agreed, and it was very excited. It nodded heavily and repeatedly assured her, "Of course I won't lie to you, I swear!"
"I want this spirit beast."
Tao Tao stepped forward, spoke to the woman selling spirit beasts, touched his storage bracelet, and directly took out 10,000 spirit stones and placed them on the counter.
While everyone else was still observing, Tao Tao paid as soon as he arrived, taking out 10,000 spirit stones without even blinking, which made a group of people envious.
“Okay, then it’s settled…” The woman had barely opened her mouth, not even having time to say the word “pay,” when a man with a scarred face walked over, threw a storage bag on the counter, and slammed his large knife down on the counter with a “bang,” saying menacingly, “I want this rabbit.”
"But that young lady has already made her move. Why don't you choose someone else?" The woman was a little hesitant, but there's always a first-come, first-served rule. It's obviously bullying people and showing no respect for their trade fair.
The man ignored her completely and immediately unleashed his oppressive aura, causing the woman to turn pale and nearly lose her balance. Only then did he look at Tao Tao with satisfaction and sneer, "Little girl, this rabbit isn't suitable for you. Give up on it."
How can there be anyone who tells you to give up?
Tao Tao naturally refused, and she said angrily, "I was here first, so if anyone should give up, it should be you."
This person is only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, yet he's still bullying others. He probably thinks Tao Tao is an easy target because she's just a little girl. But he doesn't seem to realize that Tao Tao is also at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, so she shouldn't be so easy to bully.
"I'll pay double the price; I'm definitely taking this Fiery Rabbit." He has a fire-type spiritual root, which complements the Fiery Rabbit perfectly, so of course he's not willing to give it up.
Tao Tao immediately got angry and said sternly, "This isn't an auction, where you can just raise the price as you please!"
"I'll add as much as I want, you try adding it if you dare."
