I Have Medicine-Chapter 117

It was the same as using psychic power to cover the whole body, but the last time was just to isolate the wind outside. That psychic covering wasn't deployed very meticulously. Its single, thin layer was only for isolating the wind. However, this one was different to some extent. After deploying one layer, a second was added right next to it. Soon after, there was a third.

After three layers in succession, a particularly compact structure had formed. Not only sound and other outside disturbances, but even qi energy was isolated.

Through Gongyi Tianheng's awareness, Gu Zuo had suddenly disappeared.

Unlike the previous time when he could still sense Gu Zuo's existence in a s.p.a.ce close to him, if he didn't use his naked eyes to see or if there wasn't any weight on his back, he basically wouldn't have sensed that there was someone else in his surroundings.

Gu Zuo also felt like he was now joined with the world, like he had fused together with the atmosphere. The defensive barrier his psychic power became had already compressed all of his qi energy within the barrier itself.

Only someone whose own psychic powers were many times stronger than his could discover any clues.

His heart felt pleased, and he promptly transmitted to Tianheng: Big brother, I did it!

Tianheng also smiled: Since it's like this, I'm seventy percent sure of the outcome. Ah Zuo, try to isolate my qi energy as well so we can work together.

Of course, Gu Zuo didn't have any objections.

He quickly removed the barrier on his own body. Both his arms hugged Tianheng's neck while he leaned closely to Tianheng's back. Soon after, his psychic power erupted once more. Both of their qi energies were already isolated in a short time!

Tianheng's expression became serious: Ah Zuo, don't make any noise and don't move. Right now, I'm going to go and pluck the Dual-Faced Flower. If the Earth Ghost that's guarding it finds out, do your best to volley your Spirit Piercing Needles and stop that Earth Ghost!

Gu Zuo's heart was a little nervous: If you s.n.a.t.c.h the Dual-Faced Flower and the Earth Ghost gives chase…

Tianheng's gaze was distant: A Xiantian stage two is too powerful for outer sect disciples. The Earth Ghost might've received restrictions so that it can't easily leave the mountain peak. However, it's also possible that the sect has no control. It may merely be guarding this flower on its own and isn't willing to leave the peak… If it's the latter, you and I will work together to deal with the Xiantian stage two. Ah Zuo, are you up for it?

Gu Zuo wanted to say "No", but he also knew that his dear big brother was doing this for him. Moreover, while he was scared of dying, death wasn't a certainty! In any case, wasn't he himself also Xiantian? Wasn't his big brother also capable of slaying grade five wild beasts? So long as he was careful, he could draw out any poison from his big brother at any time, and it shouldn't be hopeless. At worst, they could just escape West Mountain…

With a clear understanding, his heart settled: Let's do it!

Gongyi Tianheng smiled. He only had one thing to say: Ah Zuo, hold on tight!

After that, the tips of his feet already turned into a cool breeze and quickly flew towards that pond!

Tianheng's speed was very fast, almost to the extreme. He used his strongest body technique to pluck the Dual-Faced Flower with a speed as fast as lightning!

Gu Zuo's coordination was also extremely precise. When Tianheng reached out to grab the white-colored Dual-Faced Flower, Gu Zuo had also reached out to grab the black one at the same time!

In the blink of an eye, the black qi twisted and the pond water boiled.

On the other side of the twelve-foot wide pool, a shadow produced an intense shriek. Like an afterimage, it had already leaped over to this side!

The place it lunged at was precisely the location where the Dual-Faced Flower's qi energy was emitted!

Tianheng urgently said: Ah Zuo, quick!

Gu Zuo didn't dare be careless. He immediately discharged his psychic power and safely concealed the Dual-Faced Flower's qi energy! At the same time, the Dual-Faced Flower vanished and was collected into his storage s.p.a.ce.

Tianheng's steps didn't stop. In the instant that the Dual-Faced Flower's main body disappeared, he already leaped towards another direction. Gu Zuo's psychic power swept away the qi energy left behind previously. That shadow swiped treacherously close to Tianheng's side, corroding most of his sleeve. After that however, the shadow didn't have any way to find the tracks of those two humans.

The shadow was an Earth Ghost that was only a meter tall. Its body was black as charcoal, and it glistened with an unparalleled toxin. It was worthy of being the king of West Mountain. If it weren't for the sake of h.o.a.rding the Dual-Faced Flower and expelling several Earth Ghosts comparable to Xiantian stage one to the lower elevations, under the besiegement of a crowd of Xiantian Earth Ghosts, perhaps it would've been impossible for the two to escape.

Unfortunately, there was only itself in the end.

Gongyi Tianheng carried Gu Zuo and hid behind the other side of a boulder.

Not only did this black mist block the two's line of sight, it also blocked that Earth Ghost's line of sight. Under the cover of the black mist, it was hard for the naked eyes of the Earth Ghost and humans to see too many things. If it wasn't for that pond absorbing the black mist, even Gu Zuo and Tianheng wouldn't have been able to discover the traces of the Dual-Faced Flower!

Whether humans or Earth Ghosts, both had to rely on their own perception of their enemy's qi energy to fight in close quarters. Tianheng's perception wasn't at all stronger than the Earth Ghost's, but Gu Zuo's psychic power was the strongest on the entire West Mountain!

Thus, Gu Zuo used psychic power to shield the two of them. For a short time, that Earth Ghost unexpectedly couldn't find them — However, the Earth Ghost had been guarding the Dual-Faced Flower for so long, how could it let them get away with it?!

The Earth Ghost roared in anger!

The next moment, a surging power swept out in all directions. It wanted to shatter all the stones on this mountain peak. Once it saw those two thieves, where could they still hide?

Gongyi Tianheng's gaze slightly moved. He was getting a little excited from the thrill of the chase.

However, he quickly closed his eyes and constrained his desire to fight. At this moment, he wasn't alone. A Xiantian Earth Ghost covered in poison wasn't a good target for him to challenge.

As a result, he spoke again: Ah Zuo, we need to go.

Gu Zuo nodded solemnly: En!

The Earth Ghost's destructive speed was too fast. It arrived here right away, and they needed to leave quickly!

Immediately following that, Gongyi Tianheng moved.

His figure was like a bolt of lightning as he shuttled through the black mist. Taking advantage of the Earth Ghost's fury, he immediately got out from the edges of the mountain peak!

Yet, the psychic shield only blocked qi energy. It didn't conceal a person's figure.

After Gongyi Tianheng rushed out, the Earth Ghost roared. It had unexpectedly seen a corner of his robe's sleeve. The Earth Ghost immediately flew into a rage. It was also like a bolt of black lightning and rushed out!

Tianheng's gaze became severe.

Not good! It was moving to intercept!

In the end, Tianheng was a decisive person and he promptly responded. He didn't use his fists; he only flicked out his sleeve. At the same time, the dozens of silver needles Gu Zuo had manifested blanketed the sky like concentrated raindrops. All of them shot towards that Earth Ghost.

The Earth Ghost swiftly evaded, but it was still swatted by the robe sleeve in the end. It became furious. Its slender claws seemed to grow a meter long in an instant and thoroughly penetrated the sleeve. A scratch mark was left on Tianheng's palm!

Gongyi Tianheng frowned as he withdrew.

The Earth Ghost still desired to attack, but the psychic silver needles that came soon after had firmly obstructed it from behind. Then, there was an explosive strike with an incomparably frightful energy. It was Gongyi Tianheng's next response — To resolutely kill it!

Under this kind of air-tight a.s.sault, the Earth Ghost had no way out. It struggled incessantly, but it was still sent back flying, and was slammed into a boulder.

While this attack didn't cause too many injuries, it still stopped its pursuit. It was also turned around so that it could no longer see the silhouettes of its enemies.

The Earth Ghost's fury skyrocketed.

Because of the restriction, it could only leave the mountain peak on the final day. And at that time, even though it could leave, what was the point!?

It was aware that it was impossible to find those two thieves. It wouldn't be able to get back the Dual-Faced Flower!

A terrible suppression filled the entire mountain peak. The suppressed Earth Ghosts and martial artists who discovered that incomparable aura all couldn't help shivering.

It was hard to resist it. This Earth Ghost was truly too scary!

Countless martial artists in the regions beneath the mountain peak all heard the Earth Ghost's howls. They sensed a heavy feeling of wrath in the spreading suppression.

This kind of situation caused many people to speculate.

"The mountain peak's Earth Ghost is dreadful!"

"Who provoked it?"

"Get moving, get moving! If it takes its anger out on us, it'll be far from good!"

"Don't worry. Since it hasn't come down yet, it's clear that it can't come down."

"Accidents happen. I won't be staying here for too long. You all can take care of yourselves!"

Because of this Earth Ghost's furious roar, many shrewd outer sect disciples noted that the Ghost Nuclei they'd already collected was good enough, and promptly left this region.

No matter how good Ghost Nuclei were, it also wasn't as important as one's own life, right? One would know that the mountain peak's Earth Ghost was incomparably strong by this sound. They simply weren't its opponents!

However, there was also many disciples who thought it was a fluke. While they secretly cursed that person who provoked the Earth Ghost, they continued collecting Ghost Nuclei. It was only that their actions were a little more careful.

At this moment, the two culprits were madly rushing down the mountain.

After running for an hour, Gongyi Tianheng's pace finally slowed.

Gu Zuo withdrew his psychic power and he also felt a lot more relaxed.

The two discovered that the Earth Ghost hadn't chased after them.

Apparently, it was the first possibility.

It was restricted.

Gu Zuo heaved a sigh of relief; his heart was very happy. He got a hold of the Dual-Faced Flower, so he could research the Life Extension Pill. Once he succeeded — Thinking about the surging profits excited him to the extreme.

He wanted to share his excitement with Tianheng. However, he never expected that before he could open his mouth, he first detected that Tianheng's right hand had slipped from the place on his leg where he was being propped up. This almost made him fall off Tianheng's back. Although Tianheng quickly stabilized him, Gu Zuo could feel that something was wrong.

With Gongyi Tianheng's strength control, a problem like this was absolutely impossible to occur. It also wasn't due to carelessness…

Gu Zuo's heart tightened. He immediately hopped off Tianheng's back. Perhaps it was because his heart was haunted by a premonition. He used his fastest speed to grab Tianheng's right hand!

Soon after, the pupils of his eyes suddenly contracted —

Big brother was poisoned!

On the back of Tianheng's right hand, there was a two-inch long scratch. A dense black qi extended in all directions from this scratch. In such a short period of time, the entire back of his hand had turned pitch-black.

The toxicity was very strong!

Gu Zuo almost wanted to cry.

This was from being scratched by that Xiantian stage two Earth Ghost just then. Apart from that Earth Ghost, there weren't any other Earth Ghosts that had such frightful toxins.

But, but…

Subconsciously, Gu Zuo's hand grabbed Tianheng's wrist and started to press down against the poison.

Merely, he had miscalculated this time.

Although this poison seemed to be one that couldn't injure pharmacists, it was clearly far more stubborn than the poison of the previous Earth Ghosts. Gu Zuo used a great deal of strength, but he could only squeeze out a little bit. Unexpectedly, he was unable to alleviate this poison too much. He did his best, but he could only trap this poison within Tianheng's palm and stop it from spreading up.

However, what was to be done about the detoxification? How could they detoxify here?

Gu Zuo's eyes turned red, and his heart was incomparably anxious.

This was all his fault.

If it wasn't for him wanting the Dual-Faced Flower, his big brother wouldn't have come into contact with the Earth Ghost. Consequently, he wouldn't have been injured and poisoned by it. How could he have fret over nothing? It was only just an insignificant Dual-Faced Flower. How rare was it? The Life Extension Pill? He was still young, so what was the point!?

Why was he so stupid as to think that the poison of a Xiantian Earth Ghost was like the poison of Houtian Earth Ghosts? That it would be so easy to expel…
