390: Peng Yu seeks help

The brown Bear-type monster let out a bitter laugh: "Your might is extraordinary, far from what this junior can contend with. I only made a decision that any normal Yao Beast would make. Then, this junior will take his leave!"

With that, the Bear-type monster tiptoed backward, afraid that Lu Xingchen would go back on his word and take his life here.

Lu Xingchen waved his hand and said softly, "Stop!"

The Bear-type monster's heart trembled, and he immediately stopped.

Sure enough, he knew that staying alive wouldn't be that easy.

"Does Your Excellency have any further commands?"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "You're the boss here, right? Can you order your subordinates to hand over all the Spirit Medicine they're guarding to me? I'm too lazy to go find them one by one."

Hearing this, Xu Qing and the Bear-type monster were both stunned.

This Lu Dazhuang really has a big appetite, actually wanting all the Spirit Medicine on the entire mountain!

However, achieving this easily might not be so simple!

The Bear-type monster said with a bitter smile, "Your Excellency is making it difficult for me. Although I am the top combatant on this mountain, I am far from being a hegemon. There are four other Yao Beasts whose strength is similar to mine, and I can't do anything about them."

"As for the other Eighth-rank monsters, since they can Cultivate to the Eighth-rank, they all have some arrogance. To make them hand over their Spirit Medicine, it's impossible without a fight. If I were to act, it wouldn't be as efficient as Your Excellency acting."

"As for the other Seventh-rank Demonic Beast, although I can command them, I imagine that with Your Excellency's strength, you probably wouldn't care for the Spirit Medicine they guard."

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly and said softly, "Alright, you can scram. As for the other Eighth-rank monsters on this mountain, I will slowly reason with them!"

"As you command!"

The Bear-type monster felt as if he had received a great pardon, and hurriedly transformed his Demonic Power into wings, flying down the mountain.

As for the other Eighth-rank monsters on this mountain, he had no intention of bothering with them at all.

Those Yao Beasts were not acquainted with him, so even if they were all killed, what did it have to do with him?

Lu Xingchen picked the green lotus seed and handed it to Xu Qing, chuckling, "Third Senior Sister, your mission is complete!"

Xu Qing took the green lotus seed, a hint of a smile in her eyes.

"Junior Brother really gave me a huge surprise! Following you this time, I really got a good deal. But, are we really going to scour the entire mountain clean next?"

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly and chuckled, "What else? Since Medicine King Valley treats us like laborers, we have to earn enough capital. I want to see what kind of expression Medicine King Valley will have when they send people to this Spirit Herb Space again and find that all the Spirit Medicine on this mountain has been taken."

Xu Qing said softly, "Junior Brother, you are truly domineering! But, I like it!"

Over the next day, Lu Xingchen took Xu Qing to 'greet' all the Eighth-rank monsters on this mountain.

Yao Beasts who Cultivate to the Eighth-rank already possess intelligence not inferior to humans. Most Yao Beasts were wise enough to know when to submit, and when they realized they couldn't defeat Lu Xingchen, they knelt down and begged for mercy.

There were also a very few stubborn Yao Beasts who swore to coexist or perish with the Spirit Medicine they guarded.

For these stubborn ones, Lu Xingchen granted their wish.

After one day and one night, all the precious Spirit Medicine on this mountain was swept clean by Lu Xingchen.

His Realm also advanced from Two-Star Martial Venerable to Three-Star Martial Venerable.

Fighting against hundreds of Eighth-rank monsters in a short period, even with his "Devour" talent, Lu Xingchen still felt a little tired.

Xu Qing saw his slightly pale face and said softly, "Junior Brother, are you alright? Defeating so many Eighth-rank monsters at once must have consumed a lot of your Qi. Do you want to rest for a bit?"

Lu Xingchen said with a bitter smile, "I am indeed a bit tired. Third Senior Sister, give me half a day. Once I recover my state, let's head straight to the endpoint!"

"There are three red-marked mountains at the endpoint, which should be the most central location. There will certainly be no shortage of Spirit Medicine there. When we arrive, we can scour it again!"

Xu Qing patted Lu Xingchen's shoulder and said softly, "Junior Brother, you really are a little money-grubber. You're so tired, yet you're still thinking about fleecing more. Whether we continue to collect or not is beside the point, you should recover your state first!"

"Alright!"

With that, Lu Xingchen sat cross-legged on the ground, took out an eighth-grade rejuvenation pill and an eighth-rank qi-restoring pill, swallowed them, and immediately began to recover his state.

Simultaneously absorbing the Medicinal Pill Power of two eighth-grade pills, even Xu Qing would not dare to easily attempt it.

But Lu Xingchen dared.

Because his Physical Body strength was already comparable to a Dragon Clan Demonic Beast, and combined with his Dragon Power, he could easily withstand the Medicinal Pill Power of two Medicinal Pills.

Half a day passed just like that. Lu Xingchen completely absorbed the Medicinal Pill Power of the two Medicinal Pills, his combat power returned to its Peak, and then he and Xu Qing flew towards the endpoint.

Their current location was near the entrance, quite far from the endpoint.

It took them a full half-day to traverse hundreds of massive mountains and reach the endpoint.

By this time, only one day remained until the end of the second stage.

Lu Xingchen could already see the exit of the Spirit Herb Space, which was a glowing Teleportation Array located in the center of the three mountains.

But neither of them was in a hurry to enter.

Lu Xingchen said with a smile, "Third Senior Sister, it's still early, let's continue to collect! These three mountains are prominently marked in red, so there must be plenty of treasures inside."

"Alright, everything as Junior Brother commands!"

Lu Xingchen casually chose one of the three mountains, and then flew over with Xu Qing.

Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, he felt something was off.

Because, at the foot of the mountain, more than twenty young people had already gathered. Needless to say, they were all here to participate in this Alchemist Convention.

Among the crowd, Lu Xingchen saw the familiar Miss Peng Yu, who was currently conversing with a tall, thin young man.

Lu Xingchen didn't waste any words, directly pushed through the crowd, and flew towards Miss Peng Yu.

"Miss Peng Yu, what's going on? If you want to get herbs, you should go up the mountain early, why are you gathered at the foot of the mountain?"

Seeing Lu Xingchen, Miss Peng Yu's face revealed a strong look of joy, as if she had seen her savior.

"Lu Dazhuang, it's you! This is truly great, I really need your help!"

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen frowned.

He was here to reap benefits, not to exert effort casually, and certainly not to help.

Moreover, although he and Miss Peng Yu had known each other for a long time, they were far from intimate, so why should he help her?

But Lu Xingchen wouldn't say these words openly, he just said softly, "Miss Peng Yu, what happened? Please explain the situation first!"

Miss Peng Yu nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "The Yao Beasts on this mountain are a bit formidable, and they are quite cunning!"
