703: Dingxin Hall was warned.
Over at the large plaza, everyone's gaze finally slowly shifted away from Ji Wuchang, looking instead toward the Barrier of the Medicine King Hall.
Someone actually possessed a golden Token, just like Ji Wuchang.
He had also discovered the function of the golden Token, which was to open the Barrier of the Medicine King Valley.
After he took it out, he found that the Barrier showed no reaction, and his face couldn't help but darken.
Ji Wuchang had actually tried it in secret long ago and discovered this problem; otherwise, he would have entered already.
This Barrier of the Medicine King Hall was extremely formidable, constantly changing. Even the Void Phantom Technique was useless against it.
Ji Wuchang could only wait; this Barrier was continuously weakening, and its complete dissipation was only a matter of time!
This wait lasted for three days. On the platform side, the number of people continued to increase, with newcomers arriving every day.
At this moment, there were nearly five hundred people on the platform.
Lan Shichang and his group had also been teleported here, but of the two female Disciples at the eighth level of the dao severing realm who had originally followed him, only one remained!
Gu Xunchi of the Ancient Dao Sect was dead; it was said he died in the Skeleton Hall, besieged and killed by several experts in the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.
The several Ancient Dao Sect Disciples he had brought with him were all slaughtered cleanly.
Su Hao and Cang Baxue both had dark expressions. Someone had secretly informed them, but they didn't dare to act rashly.
The people who killed Gu Xunchi were all Loose Cultivators, and their strength was not weak; among them was even someone at the fourth level of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.
Su Hao knew very well that if they acted now, they would have no chance of winning. They could only wait until they left this place to settle the score.
Over the past few days, the news of Ji Wuchang killing numerous Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts had spread to almost every Cultivator. Within ten zhang of him, almost no one dared to linger.
They were all afraid of accidentally offending this god of slaughter.
Ji Wuchang looked at the distant Barrier; compared to a few days ago, it had become much thinner and was almost at the point of dissipating.
He activated his Thousand Illusions Spirit Pupils and looked at the distant Barrier. Behind the Barrier, the Medicine King Hall was clearly visible.
Just then, Ji Wuchang saw a figure appear at the entrance of the Medicine King Hall, surrounded by a layer of special mist.
That person seemed to sense someone watching her and turned around, revealing a pair of golden eyes.
Ji Wuchang was startled and hurriedly closed his eyes.
"Little fellow, you've actually surprised me. For the sake of being a junior of the Ji Family, I'll spare you once!"
"If you dare to peer at this seat again, I will take those eyes of yours!"
A voice entered Ji Wuchang's ears, sounding as if someone were speaking right beside him.
Ji Wuchang felt the hair all over his body stand on end, and his back was soaked with sweat!
He secretly lamented his bad luck; he had just taken a casual glance and unexpectedly encountered that person again.
He had originally been quite expectant of the Medicine King Hall, but now, his expectations plummeted.
Since someone had already beaten him to it, there surely wouldn't be anything too good inside.
However, Ji Wuchang guessed that the other party must not have found what they needed yet; otherwise, they would have left long ago. Why stay here?
Just then, the Barrier shook violently and then slowly dissipated under the joyful gazes of the crowd.
With the disappearance of the Barrier, the Medicine King Hall finally appeared clearly before everyone.
This was a massive palace covering several acres, and an ancient, heavy, and weathered aura rushed toward them.
At the same time, an extremely dense medicinal fragrance wafted out. After taking a single breath, everyone found that the circulation of Qi in their bodies had sped up significantly.
The eyes of those present instantly lit up, filled with greed. Figures took flight one after another, rushing directly toward the Medicine King Hall.
Ji Wuchang did not rush forward. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and then shook his head with a bitter smile.
He took a step forward and headed straight for the Medicine King Hall, but he chose not to enter the main hall, instead going toward a side hall.
The Medicine King Hall had six major side halls distributed on both sides of the main hall, and each side hall had a special name.
The side hall he chose was named "Dingxin Hall," which was recommended to Ji Wuchang by the Thousand Poison Venerable.
This hall was where the Medicine King Valley used to cultivate new medicinal materials. It was the most inconspicuous, and after so much time had passed, it was very likely to yield the least.
Ji Wuchang didn't really care. His mission for coming to the Medicine King Valley Secret Realm was already complete; the Heavenly Dragon Profound Lotus was already in his hands.
As for the Nine-Leaf Immortal Plant, he didn't hold out any hope at all. After all, there was an incredibly terrifying expert hiding in the shadows here.
It was better if he didn't find such a thing; once found, it would be a curse rather than a blessing.
Many people were watching Ji Wuchang. Seeing that he wasn't entering the main hall, many couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The four black-clad men from the Hall of Ten Thousand Souls, Su Hao of the Ancient Dao Sect, the people from the Hou Family, and others all swarmed into the main hall.
Now that Ji Wuchang, their strongest competitor, was out of the way, they naturally felt relieved.
In fact, Ji Wuchang wasn't the only one who chose not to enter the main hall. Many with lower cultivation bases had self-awareness and likewise did not enter the main hall.
Like Ji Wuchang, they chose the side halls.
"Kid, in the Medicine King Valley, the reputation of Dingxin Hall is definitely above that of the main hall."
"This was the side hall where the Medicine King Valley's number one Alchemy Great Master resided back then. Those Alchemists often had to come here to seek his guidance!"
"Although I don't like that arrogant fellow, in the field of Alchemy, I have to say, he was a Genius!"
The words of the Thousand Poison Venerable rang in Ji Wuchang's ears as he stepped into Dingxin Hall.
Although it was only a side hall, Dingxin Hall was not small, with a total of three floors.
Upon entering the first-floor lobby, Ji Wuchang couldn't help but frown slightly because it was extremely chaotic.
On the floor were broken Pill Furnaces that had fallen over, and there were deep gouges in the ground—these were likely marks left by swords and sabers.
With a thought, Ji Wuchang raised his right foot and stomped hard on the ground.
With a "thump," the ground shook, residual runes lit up, and a shallow footprint was left behind.
He was greatly shocked. One must know that although he hadn't used his full strength just now, a single stomp from him was enough to collapse a small mountain.
But stepping on the ground only left a shallow footprint; how could he not be shocked?
He looked at those deep gouges on the ground, and the expression on his face instantly became serious.
From these gouges, one could see that the strength of the person who attacked was terrifying, at least at the eighth or ninth level of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, or perhaps even a supreme realm expert.
One must know that such halls all had formidable defensive runes; his stomp just now had already confirmed this point.
He searched the first floor and, after finding nothing, headed straight for the second floor.
The situation on the second floor was much better than the first, but there were also signs of fighting; there was even a pillar with a fist-sized hole punched through it.
From the marks on it, Ji Wuchang judged that it had been pierced by a blast of sharp wind.
He took a deep breath and, after finding nothing, headed straight for the third floor!
