The golden mountain range was scorching hot, making it difficult for ordinary people to approach.
In this mountain range, beams of blue light shot up into the sky, presenting a breathtaking scene in this golden mountain range!
Under the blue light, an extremely handsome young man was staring at the shadow in front of him, feeling a chill!
Ling Xiao thought that the Medicine Gate had no ill intentions, but he did not expect them to lure him to such a dangerous place, harm him, and even plot to snatch his Heavenly Jewels.
He had no choice but to summon the Earth Flaming Tiger.
The Earth Flaming Tiger was a fire attribute spirit beast. As soon as it appeared, it immediately sensed the strangeness of this mountain range.
"Young Master, where exactly is this?
I sense that this flame is actually not weaker than my race's Divine Fire. It's an existence that makes me feel threatened! "the Earth Flaming Tiger said with a frown.
"Cut the crap. Take down the old man in front of me first, then we'll discuss this properly!" Ling Xiao shouted anxiously.
Any later and he would be killed. In his sea of consciousness, there was not only the Blue Demon Fire Bead, but also the Connate Yin Wind Bead and the Tree of Immortality. These were unique treasures that any peerless powerhouse would covet!
He did not want to hand over these unique treasures to others.
The Earth Flaming Tiger did not say anything else. A tiger fist blasted towards the figure in front of it.
Rumble!
The invisible barrier in front of it immediately disintegrated under this punch, but the tiger fist continued to blast forward.
"Eh, it's actually a Class 8 spirit beast in human form?" the figure said in surprise.
When the tiger fist smashed onto the figure, the figure actually automatically disappeared.
The Earth Flaming Tiger was stunned for a moment, then it roared towards the sky.
Roar!
An earth-shattering tiger roar reverberated through the air, causing the surroundings to sway and sway.
Then, he looked up and stomped his feet. His entire body bounced up into the air, and another ferocious tiger fist smashed into the void.
The fire tiger was like the king of beasts, its front claws tearing the void apart.
"Not bad, you actually found my existence." In the void, that person responded. A tall and thin figure appeared in the sky above Ling Xiao.
This old man had a dignified appearance. His face was ruddy, his eyes were like lightning, and his golden hair fluttered in the wind. Judging from his current appearance, he was a typical handsome man when he was young.
He clasped his hands behind his back, and his sleeves fluttered in the wind. When the fire tiger was a meter away from him, it automatically disappeared.
The Earth Flaming Tiger seemed to have sensed how terrifying this person was and shouted at Ling Xiao, "Young Master, quickly escape, this human is very powerful!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he attacked the old man once more.
Several huge ferocious tigers appeared out of thin air and pounced towards the old man, trying to bite him into pieces!
"Don't be nervous, I'm not disgusted!" The old man smiled and waved his hand. Several golden flames shot out.
When the golden flames came into contact with the ferocious tigers, they immediately dispersed. It was as if these ferocious tigers were made of paper in his eyes.
Ling Xiao felt his scalp go numb when he saw this scene. If the Earth Flaming Tiger wasn't a match for this old man, would he still be alive?
This old man was at the Saint Realm, and he wasn't an ordinary low-level Saint either. He might even be at a higher level.
An existence at this level already stood at the peak of all the martial artists in the central territory, and there were very few who could rival him!
When he thought up to this point, Ling Xiao was afraid, and he started to retreat. He had to leave as soon as possible, otherwise, he would die a graveless death.
"Alas, I told you that I have no ill intentions. Move aside for now, you tiger." The old man sighed lightly, and his figure started to move.
His palm slapped out with a shapeless gale, and it blasted the Earth Flaming Tiger flying far away.
Ling Xiao couldn't care less anymore. He started to run, and that was the fastest speed he'd ever run.
Unfortunately, no matter how fast he was, he was still unable to outrun the old man's palm.
The old man appeared before Ling Xiao and said with a faint smile, "Stop running. Even though your speed isn't bad, it's still far from enough!"
"Die!" Ling Xiao stopped moving and roared as he drew out all his Mental Energy.
The shapeless and formless Mental Energy attack formed a powerful storm that blasted towards the old man.
When facing an opponent of this level, Ling Xiao didn't dare to be careless in the slightest. Otherwise, he would be the one to die.
The old man's eyelids twitched in surprise. "Eh, it's actually an offensive secret technique of the Soul Race!"
When Ling Xiao's attack blasted towards him, the old man's figure actually became blurry. It turned out that it was only an afterimage, and the Mental Energy attack actually didn't hit the old man.
Ling Xiao was greatly shocked, and he immediately tried to sense the old man's presence.
"Young Master, be careful! He's behind you!" The Earth Flaming Tiger flew back and roared in alarm. At the same time, it flashed towards Ling Xiao.
In the next moment, Ling Xiao felt his shoulder being patted lightly, and Ling Xiao's entire body went cold. It's over!
If the old man just raised his hand lightly, he would probably die immediately!
This feeling of death was so close!
"Hurry up and release the Young Master!" The Earth Flaming Tiger roared as it attacked the old man with all its might.
The old man didn't even turn his head as he countered with a palm strike, blocking the Earth Flaming Tiger's ferocious punch.
Bang!
The terrifying gust of wind caused the surrounding golden rocks to fly into the air.
The person who blocked the punch remained motionless in the same place. Only his sleeves fluttered a little, but the Earth Flaming Tiger that was swinging its fist was sent flying far away like a cannonball.
"A tiger like you isn't my match. Don't waste your energy. Moreover, I don't want to hurt this little fellow. Otherwise … how could he still be alive!" the old man said faintly, his tone filled with an unquestionable tone.
Ling Xiao also knew that he couldn't escape this calamity, so he simply stopped resisting. He said to the Earth Flaming Tiger, "Forget it. Let's see what he wants to do to me!"
Ling Xiao was incomparably sad in his heart. His strength had been constantly soaring these past few years, and he also had the help of many capable experts by his side, allowing his journey to be smooth-sailing. The conceit in his heart couldn't help but swell a little, and he always felt that his battle strength was at the peak of the central region.
But now, he was like an ant in the eyes of others, and he could be crushed at any time.
"Relax a little, this old man doesn't have any ill intentions. I was just testing you just now." The old man patted Ling Xiao's shoulder as he said.
Then, he grabbed Ling Xiao's shoulder and dashed towards the depths of the mountain range.
In the blink of an eye, Ling Xiao had arrived at another place.
The Earth Flaming Tiger also quickly followed.
The temperature here was even hotter than where they were previously. The surrounding golden flames constantly swayed, and the air seemed to have been burned into a vacuum.
There were dense and mysterious runes on the ground, as if something terrifying was sealed beneath the ground.
Before this, the old man couldn't help but produce layers of Nether Protection Light in front of him, isolating the golden flames.
The Demon Blue Firebead in Ling Xiao's sea of consciousness pulsed even more violently.
"The Dark Golden Bead is here!" Ling Xiao exclaimed.
The old man looked at the sealed underground and nodded lightly, "That's right, the Dark Golden Bead is here, but … it will come out very soon!"
"What do you mean?" Ling Xiao asked, puzzled.
He didn't understand why the Medicine School didn't put it away, and instead sealed it here. Could it be for the exclusive use of the Medicine School's disciples for cultivation?
The old man seemed to be able to see through Ling Xiao's thoughts, and said indifferently, "It is indeed for the exclusive use of the Medicine School's disciples for cultivation, but … we didn't expect it to grow so quickly. In less than ten thousand years, it's actually going to break the seal here. When that time comes, it will be a disaster for our Medicine School!"
Ling Xiao still didn't understand the old man's words.
The power of the Heavenly Jewel was indeed terrifying, but … It shouldn't be enough to make a Saint-level expert helpless, right?
Back then, he was able to subdue the Innate Yin Wind Bead with just a profound practitioner, and later on, he was able to take down the Demon Blue Firebead.
"Whether or not your Medicine School is in trouble is none of my business!" Ling Xiao thought to himself.
The old man looked at Ling Xiao and said solemnly, "The reason I asked you to come to the Medicine School is not to snatch your Heavenly Jewel, but to let you take away the Dark Golden Bead, or …" You can help me weaken its power and seal it again. Only then will our Medicine School be able to survive. "
"Take away the Dark Golden Bead?" Ling Xiao looked at the old man with his mouth wide open and exclaimed.
He suspected that there was something wrong with his ears, and that he had misheard!
Every Heavenly Jewel was a peerless treasure, and was the source of energy that any martial artist would pursue. How could he just give it away like that?
Wasn't this gift a little too big?!
The old man nodded and said, "That's right. If you have the ability to take it away, then take it away. After all, it belongs to you in the first place!"
Ling Xiao was confused. What did he mean by it belonged to him in the first place?
He really didn't understand what this old man meant. He couldn't help but suspect, "Could it be that this old man is mentally ill?"
"You don't have to doubt my words. This Dark Golden Bead originally belonged to your master, the Evil Emperor. It was your master who gave it to me back then. Now that you've taken it away, it's only right and proper." The old man looked at Ling Xiao and said seriously.
"What... This... This is my master's?" Ling Xiao was shocked.
He never thought that this Dark Golden Bead would actually be related to his master, the Evil Emperor.
"Actually, according to seniority, you should call me Martial Uncle!" The old man said again.
When Ling Xiao heard this, he opened his mouth wide and was completely speechless.
This old man's words were simply shocking!
Ling Xiao and the Evil Emperor had only known each other for a year. The Evil Emperor had taught him the cultivation method of the Unique Technique and also taught him a lot of battle experience, but he had never mentioned anything about his life or any of his friends.
Now that a Martial Uncle had suddenly appeared, Ling Xiao felt that he couldn't wrap his head around it.
After a long while, Ling Xiao swallowed his saliva and said, "My master, he …" Is he also a member of the Medicine Sect? "
The old man shook his head lightly and said, "No, but he is my sworn big brother, which is also my boss!
If it wasn't for him back then, I wouldn't have been able to reach this realm!
"Unfortunately, big brother has already gone to the Heaven Realm first, and I am still here with my worries." As he said that, his old face revealed an expression of endless nostalgia, and he continued: "When he came back a few years ago, he could have helped me suppress the Dark Golden Bead, but … He knew that you were an Alchemist, so he didn't do anything. He said that this problem was up to you to decide. If you have the ability to take it away, I won't stop you, because this Dark Golden Bead belongs to big brother!"
