Chapter 405: Chapter 406: Huazi is Actually Just a Very Common Thing
As these words were uttered, the arena fell silent.

The cultivators outside the battlefield dared not even breathe loudly. Indeed, the “Divine Medicine” they spoke of was far too precious. On normal days, they would surely make full preparations and only after achieving a state of complete vigour, would they consume it to maximize the effects of the Divine Medicine.

But now that the Divine Medicine was ignited, it would be wasteful not to use it. They reluctantly continued to ingest it.

This was an item that could even miraculously affect Great Crossing Realm Cultivators. To call it a Divine Medicine was no exaggeration. Indeed, it should not have been something those at their low level could aspire to.

Xiong Da’s chest heaved dramatically. He had completely consumed the Divine Medicine he held. The effect was truly powerful, and within just this short period, he felt significant improvement. At the very least, it saved him more than ten days of arduous cultivation.

However, the robe-clad cultivators in the battlefield seemed to not share the same thoughts. After hearing Elder Ji’s furious roars, they all looked at the other party as if they were looking at fools.

“What is he going on about?”

“I don’t know. Seems like he’s saying Divine Medicine is a rare item?”

“No way, no way, don’t tell me there are people these days who don’t even know what Divine Medicine is?”

“Just a few packs of Divine Medicine. In my Holy City, we have as much as we want, plentiful like grass and trees. Where’s the rarity in that? In my opinion, it’s because this third battlefield is too remote that even the information is out of touch with the times. They don’t even recognize Divine Medicine, which is so pitiful!”

“Sigh, my Holy City is so much better. Unlike this place, where they have nothing. It’s really boring. Let’s hurry up and get to work, finish early, and head back sooner.”

The cultivators of the fourth battlefield chattered amongst themselves, expressing their disdain and mockery of Elder Ji’s words with each remark.

In their eyes, the third battlefield at the moment was like some backwater rural area, not only devoid of Divine Medicine but not even having a single bathhouse. Such a city lacked a soul.

“Enough talk, let’s hurry up and clean up the battlefield, and then get back to continuing our baths.”

Cai Kunxu watched all this with great interest. The fourth battlefield, backed by quality shops and Tangneng First-class, was completely turning the tables today.

Forget about the third battlefield; even the first and second battlefields seemed to him now as nothing more than a group of slightly stronger country bumpkins.

“What in the world is going on?”

“They say, in the Holy City, there is as much Divine Medicine as one desires?”

“Could it be that Cai Kunxu’s words were not unfounded and were actually true?”

Elder Ji’s face showed a touch of embarrassment. He had actually been ridiculed.

Fire Qilin Cave, as a top and longstanding force on the Mainland, always at the forefront of the Cultivation World, had never been mockingly laughed at like country bumpkins. But the reality before them was clear: they were indeed lagging behind.

About the miraculous existence of Divine Medicine, he was completely ignorant.

“It seems I need to visit the Holy City.”

“Elder Ji, once this matter here is concluded, bring the Saint Heir with me to the Holy City. Let’s see what this Divine Medicine really is, shall we?”

Xiong Da spoke solemnly, feeling that in the days he had been away from the Holy City, he had missed out on a fortune.

“Very well!”

“This Divine Medicine is indeed miraculous; I too am very interested to see, just how the Holy City could have changed so much in just a few days!”

Elder Ji’s face darkened as he spoke.

In this world, there truly exists such miraculous treasures; they must be controlled by the hands of Fire Qilin Cave. If Fire Qilin Cave could master the production of Huazi, the strength of our sect disciples would surely reach a new level.

By then, not to mention the disciples, even we elders could reap tremendous benefits.

Xiong Da’s eyes glittered with a strange light, which Elder Ji failed to notice any irregularity.

As long as this Dry Flame Saint Child follows me to the Holy City, it would mean the task entrusted by Li Xiaobai has been completed.

If previously he was hesitant about Li Xiaobai’s request, at this moment he had fully resolved to betray his teammates.

The reason was simple; the existence of Huazi was too tempting. He didn’t want to be Li Xiaobai’s enemy. On the contrary, if he could become friends with him, perhaps he could share some Huazi with the Third Battlefield.

The deal he had struck with Fire Qilin Cave was to obtain some spiritual medicine that could help Great Crossing Realm Cultivators ascend.

The appearance of the Huazi right now was precisely aligned with his wishes; from any aspect, he no longer needed the help of Fire Qilin Cave.

In the midst of conversation, the blood mist on the battlefield completely dissipated, and Flesh Mountain, having lost its ability to erode the mind, posed no threat at all. A group of robe-clad cultivators easily slaughtered Flesh Mountain, leaving none in their wake.

Of course, this ease was mainly due to the absence of Great Crossing Realm’s strength within Flesh Mountain; otherwise, it would definitely not be so effortless.

“Lord Xiong, the Flesh Mountain on the battlefield has been utterly eradicated. My Fourth Battlefield has done its duty. The agreed compensation should be delivered sooner rather than later, to prevent any unforeseen events,” Cai Kunxu said, seizing the moment.

“Rest assured, Lord Cai. I am a man of my word, and I will visit the Holy City with the Dry Flame Saint Child later on. At that time, you must show us that little shop where the Huazi are sold,” Lord Xiong said with a broad smile, the true meaning of the conversation understood only by him and Cai Kunxu.

Elder Ji, mistaking Xiong Da’s comment for a provocation, didn’t suspect anything. Even if he sensed that something was amiss, he would surely check it out personally. The reason was straightforward; the power of Huazi was too sensational.

It was imperative to grasp the principle behind such a divine artifact before it slipped away, and ideally, to obtain the production method. This way, even if his own Saint Heir had to withdraw midway from the trial, he wouldn’t have to face any punishment from Fire Qilin Cave.

Perhaps the ancestors would even reward them abundantly for such a discovery!

“Heh, I am quite curious about the Huazi myself. I will also visit later on. Please let City Lord Yang know not to despise us,” Elder Ji added.

“Elder Ji, with the existence of that millennia-old mystery Li Xiaobai in the Holy City, rashly going there might be like walking into a trap,” said the Dry Flame Saint Child, who had also arrived, alerted by the commotion on the battlefield.

He hadn’t expected to see such an explosive sight upon his arrival. The effects of the Huazi deeply shocked his soul.

“Saint Child, be at ease, nothing will happen. There is no one in this world who would dare openly attack a cultivator from Fire Qilin Cave,” Elder Ji said with a sinister smile, unfazed about the trip to the Holy City.

As an elder of Fire Qilin Cave, he believed that even the enigmatic Li Xiaobai inside the Holy City wouldn’t brazenly act against them.

Otherwise, he would not have set up a scheme to lure them into the flames in the first place.

From this, it was evident that the other party still harbored caution towards Fire Qilin Cave. At the very least, during broad daylight, there would be no danger.

Plus, if someone from Fire Qilin Cave were to perish in the Holy City, Fire Qilin Cave would certainly seek answers. By that time, City Lord Yang and the others would be unable to escape responsibility. Therefore, as long as they were in the Holy City, they would be relatively safe and free from danger.

The Dry Flame Saint Child nodded slowly, understanding the implications, “That’s very good.”
