The Luckiest Dumb Doctor
Chapter 772 - Chapter 772 Chapter 772 Medicinal Garden_1

Chapter 772: Chapter 772 Medicinal Garden_1 Chapter 772: Chapter 772 Medicinal Garden_1 Nelson Rice, the monk, said angrily, “Nonsense, someone has died, and you think you can resolve it just by blaming a Dark Spirit?”

The junior brother of the deceased wailed, “Elder brother, how… How could you die just as we entered? We had agreed to seek the opportunity together and achieve Foundation Establishment together.”

People exchanged glances, none of them speaking, but all eyes once again converged on Aaron Gill.

Aaron Gill paid no heed to Nelson Rice and instead said to the junior brother of the deceased, “Stop crying, it’s normal to face danger inside a secret realm.

Once we’ve gained some harvest, I’ll compensate you with something.”

“Uh…”

The man’s crying ceased immediately, and he nodded with a cold face.

Nelson Rice was so angry that his face turned an iron blue, cursing, “You spineless coward, if your elder brother had any knowledge of this from the underworld, he would curse you to death.”

The man’s face turned slightly red, but he just bowed his head and said nothing.

Nelson Rice cursed, “Bad luck,” and then continued leading the Disciples of the Hanging Temple towards the mountain peak.

Although he looked down on the people of the Tai Xu Sect, if even the deceased’s junior brother kept his mouth shut, what more could he say?

The others did the same, falling silent at this point.

Aaron Gill’s lips curled slightly upwards, saying, “There’s definitely danger in the secret realm, everyone be careful.”

A disciple from Dong Xuan Sect said, “Aaron Gill is right. Before we came in, our uncle master told us to listen to Aaron Gill’s arrangements once we were inside.”

“Yes, uncle master indeed said that.”

“Aaron Gill, you tell us, what should we do next?”

The other people also looked towards Aaron Gill, with a subtle sense of looking to him for leadership.

Aaron Gill smiled and said, “According to our Sect’s records, there should be a Medicinal Garden ahead, let’s go check that out first.”

“Good, we’ll follow Aaron Gill’s lead.”

“Come on everyone, hurry up and follow.”

At the urging of several Dong Xuan Sect disciples, everyone followed behind Aaron Gill, walking towards the front.

Not long after walking, they indeed encountered a Medicinal Garden, but there was a Protective Array outside the garden, blocking the Disciples of the Hanging Temple who arrived first.

Nelson Rice was holding a huge Demon-Subduing Pestle, exerting all his mana, strenuously bombarding the formation.

The formation trembled violently under his strikes, teetering on the brink of collapse, yet stubbornly remaining intact, infuriating Nelson Rice to curse out loud.

Aaron Gill arrived with his group and said in surprise, “Hmm? The records clearly stated that the formation here should be defunct, so why is there still an active formation?”

Nelson Rice, as an elder of the Hanging Temple, had an explosive temper and turned around to ask, “Who are you asking?”

Aaron Gill was not offended and said with a gentle smile, “It seems we need the help of the Dong Xuan Sect brothers now.”

Matthew Harrison, a disciple of the inner gate of Dong Xuan Sect, stepped forward smiling, “It’s a minor matter, let me take a look.”

He took out a Compass and started examining the surroundings.

Teresa Cotes glanced into the Medicinal Garden, spotting various rare Spirit Grasses, and a hint of excitement crossed her usually cool face.

In a low voice she said, “Xu… Senior Brother Shangguan, don’t you also understand formations? Why aren’t you going up to help?”

Greg Jensen shook his head and said indifferently, “Let’s wait and see first.”

“Strange, this formation is clearly the simplest Five Elements Protection Formation, so why does the circulating qi feel so weird?”

Matthew Harrison was full of confusion, holding the Compass and walking in circles, while a few other Dong Xuan Sect disciples also came over to help.

The rest couldn’t be of any help and could only stand by the side and watch helplessly.

Seeing this, Aaron Gill suggested, “How about this: a few people come with me to the front to see if we can find the central hub of the formation.”

“I think it makes sense; standing here is no different than standing there.”

“If you want to go, you go. I’ll just stay here and wait.”

The crowd had different thoughts. Some felt that simply waiting around was futile and that it might be better to follow Aaron Gill and check out the front.

If they could truly find the central hub of the formation and turn off the protective formation, that would settle it.

And a large number of people were unwilling to leave the Medicinal Garden, fearing that if the Formation was broken, others would snatch the Spirit Grass within.

After all, for many small Sects, those Spirit Grasses were equivalent to priceless treasures.

Aaron Gill didn’t get angry, but smiled and said, “Well then, those who wish to stay may stay; those who wish to come with me, let’s go now.”

In the end, five people followed Aaron Gill and walked ahead.

Nelson Rice the monk turned his eyes and said to a Disciple of the Hanging Temple, “Wesley, follow them and have a look.”

“Yes, Elder Uncle.”

Wesley nodded his head and got up, following behind Aaron Gill.

“Let’s go, we’ll also follow and see.”

“Ah, but there are so many Spirit Grasses…”

Greg Jensen also wanted to follow, but Teresa Cotes hesitated, looking at the Spirit Grasses in the Medicinal Garden.

“Then you wait here for now, don’t wander off. If it comes to it, just follow Master Nelson Rice, I will go have a look and return.”

“Alright, be careful then.”

Watching as Aaron Gill and the others were about to walk away out of sight, Greg Jensen had no choice but to follow alone.

Aaron Gill heard footsteps behind him, turned around to see Greg Jensen, and a flicker of peculiarity crossed his face as he said with a feigned smile:

“Disciple Shangguan arrived just in time. Are all your elixirs prepared? If I get injured later, I will have to rely on Disciple Shangguan’s elixirs to save my life.”

“Hehe, sure thing,” Greg Jensen said.

The Medicinal Garden was built on the plains at the foot of the mountain, and the path Aaron Gill led the group on was a stone path heading towards the mountain summit.

“Stop!”

They hadn’t walked far when Greg Jensen sensed something was amiss. Even if the people present were not at the Foundation Establishment, they were all in the middle or late stages of Qi Refinement.

With their speed, they should have reached the mountain summit by now.

But at that moment, they were still far from the mountain top.

Aaron Gill seemed to have thought of this too and said, “How about we try that path?”

Saying so, he pointed to the side.

Greg Jensen followed his pointing finger and only then noticed that there was a smaller path beside them. His gaze inevitably narrowed.

When did this path appear?

Greg Jensen’s heart involuntarily became vigilant. With his sensitivity to Divine Sense, a path had appeared beside him, and he hadn’t noticed it?

There must be something wrong here!

He hesitated for a moment and said, “I suggest we return first and call everyone together to go over.”

“Elder Brother Shangguan, you’re really too cautious.”

“Exactly, with Brother Aaron as our host, what is there to fear?”

“Let’s go, let’s accompany Brother Aaron and have a look.”

Greg Jensen ignored the others’ ridicule and looked at Aaron Gill silently.

Aaron Gill smiled and said, “With so many of us together, there’s nothing to fear. Let’s go and take a look, shall we?”

Greg Jensen stared at him seriously and shook his head, “You all go ahead, I’ll go back and find Sister Teresa.”

After speaking, he ignored everyone’s attempts to stop him and headed straight down the mountain.

“Are the disciples of the Danxia Sect really that timid?”

“Forget about him, let’s go.”

Aaron Gill looked at Greg Jensen’s retreating figure for a moment, then led the others into the smaller path.

Elsewhere, as soon as Greg Jensen was out of sight of the others, he stopped because he knew that he had entered a Formation.

If he kept walking around aimlessly, it was only a matter of time before something bad would happen.
