Chapter 375: Chapter 259: Refining God Great Medicine, Ancient Old Ginseng!_2

The Little White Ape hid within the Nirvana Divine Egg.

"Master, why didn’t you simply walk with them earlier? Why rush to catch up now?"

"Mr. Lu is ostensibly returning to Qifeng Prefecture City," Lin Yan said indifferently. "He was demoted to High Willow City, and now that he has achieved the Refining God Realm, it makes sense for him to return to Qifeng Prefecture City to settle old scores. Naturally, as someone of the Refining God Realm, he finally has the confidence to stand his ground in this world. Along the way back to the Prefecture City, desiring to enjoy the scenic mountains and waters is within reason too..."

"What about us?" the Little White Ape inquired.

"Little Flag Lin Yan, you are ordered to leave the city," Lin Yan stated calmly. "The Inspection Envoy Wu Chang is in seclusion."

"So, Master still intends to protect that young thirteenth master?" The Little White Ape suddenly realized.

"If the Chief True Man departs and Wu Chang follows Mr. Lu the very next day, even setting aside the matter of expanding the city, people are bound to speculate... The suspicious ones can’t help but ponder more, suspecting whether the young thirteenth master has conveyed some message to Mr. Lu and Wu Chang by some other means," Lin Yan explained placidly.

"My departure from High Willow City can’t be concealed for long, but each moment it remains hidden is still crucial! According to the speed of this group from the Holy Land, they have already entered Residual Prison Mansion today, and tomorrow they will probably enter the arrangements of the Lord of Residual Prison Mansion..."

As he spoke, riding on a Jiao Linma, he finally caught up with Mr. Lu’s carriage.

Lv Tang was driving the carriage ahead.

Mr. Lu was inside the carriage, imparting various knowledge to Lin Lei in preparation for the capture of "Duke Murky Spirit."

——

This carriage of Mr. Lu’s came from the Wutong Temple in Qifeng Prefecture; he had returned to High Willow City in this same carriage before.

Although the horse pulling the carriage was not a Jiao Linma, it was still one of the best horses from the Temple, known for its extraordinary stamina and strength in bearing loads.

And the construction of the carriage itself was equally remarkable, a product of the Wutong Temple’s Artifact Refining lineage, no mundane object.

They traveled fast that day, with Lv Tang sparing no effort in hastening their journey.

If this had been in the past, given Mr. Lu’s advanced age and mortal physique, Lv Tang would have driven the carriage more slowly.

But now that Mr. Lu had attained the Refining God Realm, Lv Tang had no such concerns.

It was Lin Lei who, although jostled quite a bit, managed to endure thanks to his youth and firm resolve.

Setting out at dawn, by midday they had already left the boundaries of High Willow City by over a hundred li.

And by the time the sun set behind the hills, they had traveled over two hundred li.

"Thirty li ahead lies a medium-sized Pure Land where we will rest," Mr. Lu’s voice echoed from within the carriage. "The sun is about to set, so we must hurry and reach there before nightfall."

"Before dark? We must go faster then. The horse can take it, but I’m afraid Lin Lei cannot," Lv Tang muttered.

"We must reach there before it gets dark, or the consequences will be unimaginable," Mr. Lu said. "As for Lin Lei, he has taken a potion, and the jolting during the journey can help to disperse the medicine’s power."

"Is it that urgent?" Lv Tang spoke up. "In the past, we sought to find shelter within Pure Lands before nightfall because we feared the nefarious demons of the night... but now that you, sir, have reached the Refining God Realm, surely you can cross unimpeded even during the night?"

"If within a hundred li radius of High Willow City, that’s still manageable."

Mr. Lu spoke slowly: "The divine might of Liu Venerate God is vast, and within a hundred li, demons too powerful cannot approach or it would be considered a declaration of war!

"So, under normal circumstances, the demons around High Willow City are mostly wandering spirits and lesser demons."

"A slightly farther afield could see the birth of evil spirits and powerful demons hunting."

"As for ferocious evil spirits, and those comparable to the Qi Refining Realm’s great demons, they usually wouldn’t dare to venture into this hundred-li zone under Liu Venerate’s divine might without good reason."

"And those extremely malicious beings, as well as demon kings comparable to the Refining God Realm, they are highly sentient and generally steer clear of the hundred-li boundary of High Willow City."

"Of course, sometimes, when various situations are unstable due to all sorts of reasons, they may cross the line and even approach the city... Although this kind of scenario is relatively rare, when looking back at the records of hundreds of years, counting each instance, there are indeed many examples."

As Mr. Lu explained, he continued, "With my cultivation in the Refining God Realm, if I am within the hundred-li radius of High Willow City, basically... as long as I’m not terribly unlucky, I can indeed move freely during the night!"

Hearing this, Lin Yan frowned and said, "So outside of a hundred-li radius it’s not possible?"

"Over a hundred miles away, who knows how many powerful evils there are?"

Mr. Lu chuckled darkly and said, "To demon and strange beings, the Human Clan is naturally intelligent, the most delicious delicacy in this world, the most nourishing Great Medicine..."

Lin Yan’s expression changed slightly as he spoke in a low voice, "Even if one has cultivated to the Refining God Realm, are they still considered Great Medicine in the eyes of evil beings?"

"The higher the cultivation, the stronger the abilities, the more nourishing the Great Medicine!"

Mr. Lu said with a laugh, "Just like those in the Qi Refining Realm, are they not considered Great Medicine in the eyes of mischievous little demons?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yan suddenly understood.

Even a roaming little demon, when looking at someone from the Qi Refining Realm of the Human Clan, would drool with desire!

It’s just that an individual in the Qi Refining Realm is already capable of slaying evil beings, with overflowing True Qi and powerful might... Therefore, out of an innate fear, mischievous little demons would suppress their craving for this Great Medicine and retreat.

But it does not change the fact that in the eyes of these roamers and little demons, a person from the Qi Refining Realm is still Great Medicine.

"The Qi Refining Realm is actually quite powerful; at least outside High Willow City, when facing ordinary evil beings, one already has the ability to protect oneself," Mr. Lu spoke slowly. "The same is true for the Refining God Realm, in theory. Even if one ventures beyond the protection of the ’Old God’, they should be capable of self-preservation... However, during a deceitful night, there are too many strong and mysterious entities!"

"If one is lucky, they might wander around during a deceitful night for ten days or half a month without running into trouble."

"If one is extremely unlucky and encounters an even stronger evil being, then even the Refining God Realm will fall prey and become their Great Medicine!"

As Mr. Lu spoke, even Lv Tang showed an enlightened expression.

"Just like that old ginseng?"

"Yes!" Mr. Lu stroked his beard slightly.

"What old ginseng?" Lin Lei couldn’t help asking.

"Within the Residual Prison Mansion, there is an Ancient old ginseng, hailed as a Holy Medicine of this world," Mr. Lu said slowly. "According to legend, even a common mortal, if they consume it, would reach the Primordial Spirit state in one day, achieve Taoist Body in two days, and gain Changsheng immortality!"

"Is there such a divine object in this world?" Lin Yan exclaimed in surprise.

"It too is one of the Ancient Old Gods, its divine might not inferior to Liu Venerate!"

Mr. Lu laughed and said, "It is genuinely an Immortal God Holy Medicine, but looking at the world, who can consume it?"

"The Lord of the Residual Prison Mansion tried to lay hands on this Ancient old ginseng some years ago, and nearly got beaten to death. Barely escaping with half a life, he managed to flee."

"It is one of the strongest entities in the Residual Prison Mansion, and its abode is a Forbidden Land where no creature of this world should tread!"

"Countless members of the Human Clan, Demon Kings, Evil Spirits, and strange beings have coveted the medicinal power of this Ancient old ginseng, venturing into the Forbidden Land only to be destroyed and eradicated by it!"

"But it does not prevent it from being regarded as a divine Immortal God Holy Medicine in our eyes!"

"It’s just that we’re not strong enough to consume it."

At this point, Mr. Lu slowly said, "For evil beings, the Refining God Realm of the Human Clan is also such a powerful Great Medicine that they can’t consume!"

But the deceitful night is boundless, endless, and beyond the outskirts of High Willow City, there are evil beings comparable to the Refining God Realm, even stronger than the Refining God Realm!

If one is fortunate enough, they might not run into such powerful evil beings.

But at this moment, there seems to be no need to take a gamble on luck!

Therefore, it is most stable to reach the Pure Land before dark and stay there for the night!

"No need to rush anymore!"

Just when they were about three to five miles away from the Pure Land, Mr. Lu suddenly sighed, "The Pure Land has been destroyed."
