I Have Medicine Chapter 116

"Big brother, eighteen steps northwest!"

"Three meters, northeast!"

"Twenty steps ahead! About two meters deep!"

"Big brother, on the right! Quick!"

"One meter on the left!"

"Back right, two meters! One meter! Half a meter!"

A teenager's warnings gently echoed against an ear. What followed whenever that voice stopped was a burst of qi energy. In addition to that was the m.u.f.fled noises of crash landings that fell like raindrops.

Soon after, there weren't any more secretly concealed ambushers. The teenager's voice halted and the fists belonging to a handsome yet terrifyingly powerful young man, which could produce qi energy with every strike, were also put away.

What remained beside the two were at least twenty Earth Ghost corpses.

Compared to the ones below the halfway mark on the mountain, these Earth Ghosts seemed a bit smaller. However, their speed was faster, their claws were more menacing, their strength was more powerful, and even their toxins seemed stronger.

They could all be likened to perfect Houtian. Yet, because their strength wasn't like martial artists of similar realms and they only had one method of attack, so long as one could see through their tracks, it wasn't the least bit difficult to deal with them.

Naturally, while there weren't many who could see through them, Gongyi Tianheng was precisely one such individual. Merely, he needed to be right next to the Earth Ghost and find it through its killing intent.

With Gu Zuo's psychic power, he could find them already when the distance apart was relatively far. Gu Zuo voiced his warnings, and the two coordinated with a tacit understanding. Before the Earth Ghosts closed in, the two could slay the creatures. Basically, the two didn't let the Earth Ghosts approach nor let them cause the slightest injury to themselves.

After wiping out these Earth Ghosts, Gu Zuo promptly jumped off and scampered over to sort them out.

With their arrival to the region above the mountain's halfway point, two days and two nights had pa.s.sed. While the Earth Ghosts were rampant during the daytime, it was the night which seemed calm and serene.

The Earth Ghosts here were clearly harder to deal with compared to the ones at lower elevations, but to these two, the Earth Ghosts still weren't worth mentioning. Without Cang Yu and the others, they didn't need to conceal anything, and their efficiency in annihilating Earth Ghosts was much higher.

The corpses and Ghost Nuclei were quickly collected. Gu Zuo proficiently jumped onto Tianheng's back again, and the two continued climbing higher.

Not long after, Gu Zuo's psychic power discovered over twenty Earth Ghosts hiding all over the place. They could attack anytime and anywhere.

Because the amount was slightly high, Gu Zuo softly said: "Big brother, let me go first this time?"

Tianheng faintly nodded: "Be careful, Ah Zuo."

At the same time, he raised his own guard.

In an instant, a layer of psychic power converged into Gu Zuo's eyes. After that, his eyes suddenly widened, and a handful of silver needles flashed out. Separated in several batches, they faced toward different directions and shot out!

In the blink of an eye, a bunch of screams were heard and several Earth Ghost corpses fell down.

Each one of those silver needles that Gu Zuo just sent out had surprisingly struck an Earth Ghost, exploding their skulls!

The Earth Ghosts were provoked.

Immediately following that, six or seven Earth Ghosts came to kill from various directions. Only, after they were angered, the qi energy used to conceal them wasn't that perfect. Most of all, the exposed silhouettes and killing intent prior to the ambush were even easier for Gongyi Tianheng to grasp.

Tianheng reacted like lightning. Several streaks of qi energy which were sent afterwards had arrived first, shattering quite a few Earth Ghost heads.

Gu Zuo was also not to be outdone. After Tianheng dealt with the Earth Ghosts whose traces had become visible, Gu Zuo aimed his psychic power at the concealed Earth Ghosts. One after another, he exploded their heads.

Under the two's separate yet well-coordinated attacks, the crowd of Earth Ghosts that had prepared to launch an ambush had been completely wiped out.

The only things remaining were corpses.

These became Gu Zuo's research material.

The two really had encountered a lot in this kind of situation.

In the very beginning, they were still rus.h.i.+ng about in a hurry, but afterwards, they familiarized themselves and were frequently surrounded by Earth Ghosts. This let their actions become effortless.

Naturally, Gongyi Tianheng's perception was sharper and his responses were also more agile, completely lacking any redundancies. Gu Zuo's controlling ability was even stronger. He could control three to four silver needles simultaneously, without any pressure and with matchless precision.

— This also wasn't strange. Gongyi Tianheng's Tiandu Body was originally a freak of nature. Gu Zuo, too, was already a pharmacist who'd broken through to Xiantian. It was only natural that he could crush Houtian Earth Ghosts.

Apart from it being a little more inconvenient when they were surrounded by too many Earth Ghosts, the Earth Ghost's ambushes were no different than delivering their own lives to Gu Zuo and Tianheng.

Among the outer sect disciples who came here to do the mission, they were perhaps the most relaxed ones with such compatibility and strength.

Unwittingly, the two climbed higher and higher as they slowly approached the mountain peak.

At this place, a black mist filled the air. When first entering West Mountain, one would sense that the ambient qi contained poison. Reaching this place, it was practically an ambient qi that contained enigmatic toxins. If someone carelessly inhaled a tiny bit, it was probably the same as being bitten by dozens of Earth Ghosts.

Upon seeing this, Gongyi Tianheng and Gu Zuo securely closed their pores, stopped breathing, and firmly locked up all of their true qi within their bodies. They didn't dare neglect anything.

Gu Zuo converged psychic power into his eyes and could see the scenery through the black mist. Tianheng's eyes were keen, and could also make out the environment's trees and mountain stones. It had already become like a land of barren hills and wild waters. It was a sight without any vitality.

But the two still continued to go up.

They were slowly walking straight to the peak.

Gongyi Tianheng detected auras that were Xiantian and above coming from all directions!

Not good! They needed to be careful!

Otherwise, a moment of inattention while battling Earth Ghosts of that kind of realm might possibly incur a poisoning…

But then, the pupils of Gu Zuo's eyes contracted. It was because he had caught sight of a pond filled with black water at the peak. It had a radius of about six feet, and in the pool were two blooming flowers.

One was snow white and the other was pitch black. They swayed gently side by side…

Even at this very moment, Gu Zuo recognized that this was a Double-Faceted Flower!

It was a type of medicinal herb that could refine the Life Extension Pill!

Gu Zuo clenched his fists.

He wanted it.

He really wanted it…

Gongyi Tianheng didn't open his mouth again to speak to prevent breathing in the poisoned qi here. At this time, he detected something odd with the person on his back, and transmitted: Ah Zuo, what's going on?

Gu Zuo pursed his lips: Big brother, that's the Double-Faceted Flower. The white one can refine the Life Extension Pill, and the black one is material for a Trick Pill. It has a lot of research value, but I reckon it'll be hard to encounter it in the future…

What kind of intelligent person was Gongyi Tianheng? Once he heard Gu Zuo's words, he knew the other implication.

Gu Zuo wanted the Double-Faceted Flower.

And after Tianheng heard about the Double-Faceted Flower's functions, how couldn't his interest be piqued?

However, Tianheng was aware that the guards in the vicinity of the Double-Faceted Flower were certain to be the strongest Earth Ghosts on West Mountain. They could be compared to Xiantian stage two.

This was taking food from the Earth Ghost's mouth. If it wasn't planned meticulously or if they didn't accurately find the opportunity, it would be absolutely impossible.

Tianheng murmured for a short time: Ah Zuo, it'd be better for you to try use your psychic power to block our qi energy so that others can't sense it.

Gu Zuo's eyes s.h.i.+ned.

Yes, he could use psychic power to form a defensive layer to protect them. So, why couldn't he simply try to conceal themselves?

After thinking about it, the s.p.a.ce between Gu Zuo's eyebrows warmed up. A surge of psychic power changed into a trickling flow. It inconspicuously and extremely slowly covered his entire body.

T/N: The translation "Double-Faceted Flower" is still up in the air. The term 两面 directly translates to two sides, like two sides of the same coin. It just doesn't have a nice ring to it. ?
