After he began his cultivation, Hu Xiaobei realized that the world was not as simple as it had appeared to him!
There were powerful cultivators in this world!
Among them were witches!
As ancient cultivators, witches had mysterious methods and incredible strength!
Honestly, Hu Xiaobei had not expected to encounter a witch at this stage because he knew that witches generally resided within the vast mountains of Miaojiang...
"I don't know why he has targeted Shen Tianhai, but I must find a way to eliminate this Witch Qi!"
Thinking this, Hu Xiaobei took another look at the malevolent Witch Qi and, in an instant, increased the infusion of his Nine Wood True Qi.
Even so, it took him a long time to completely destroy it!
"What a potent poison!"
Knowing that the wizard who targeted Shen Tianhai was very powerful, Hu Xiaobei's pupils contracted slightly...
Hu Xiaobei could tell that his Nine Wood True Qi could suppress it!
But it would face resistance from it!
Therefore, Hu Xiaobei knew that a direct confrontation within Shen Tianhai's body was definitely not viable.
Because Shen Tianhai's body simply couldn't withstand it!
"Better to find medicinal herbs and use the most gentle method to neutralize it."
With this thought, Hu Xiaobei began to search through all his memories to find the most suitable prescription for the current situation...
Soon, Hu Xiaobei opened his eyes and headed straight for the medicinal field in the orchard...
...
"Hundred-Flower Grass, Qinglan Liquid, Purple Water Chestnut..."
In the medicinal field, Hu Xiaobei was checking off each herb one by one!
Quickly, Hu Xiaobei realized he was still missing an herb!
"It looks like I'll have to make a trip to the back mountain!"
Hu Xiaobei knew that the Lingxuezhi he was missing was extremely rare, so it was impossible to find it elsewhere!
To find it in a short time, he had to go to the back mountain...
Thinking this, Hu Xiaobei swiftly returned home!
Hu Xiaobei, now changed into fresh clothes, was just about to set off when he saw Guo Meiyu quickly walk in from outside!
Subconsciously, Hu Xiaobei blurted out, "Sister-in-law!"
"En! Xiaobei, where are you off to?"
Knowing that if Guo Meiyu found out he was planning to go to the back mountain, she would certainly disagree!
Thus, Hu Xiaobei replied somewhat vaguely, "Sister-in-law, I... I'm just stepping out for a bit! I'll be back soon!"
"You little bastard, I know you're going out, I'm asking where to!"
Guo Meiyu sensed Hu Xiaobei's discomfort and swiftly pressed him for an answer!
Knowing he couldn't keep it a secret any longer, Hu Xiaobei spoke up, "Sister-in-law, I... I'm just heading up to the back mountain to gather some herbs, I'll be back very soon!"
"No way! I won't allow you to go, it's just too dangerous there!"
Just as expected!
Hearing Guo Meiyu's response, Hu Xiaobei quickly explained, "Sister-in-law, the back mountain is indeed very dangerous for ordinary people, but not for me! I assure you, I'll be back soon!"
"I said no, and that means no!"
Guo Meiyu looked at Hu Xiaobei and spoke with some stubbornness!
Guo Meiyu knew the back mountain was really very dangerous, so she was unwilling to let Hu Xiaobei take the risk!
Knowing that Guo Meiyu was genuinely concerned for his safety, Hu Xiaobei spoke softly, "Sister-in-law, I know you're worried about my safety, but I really won't have any problems! Aren't you clear about my strength?"
"But..."
"Alright, sister-in-law, I'm about to leave, let's not waste valuable time!"
Saying this, Hu Xiaobei quickly picked up Guo Meiyu!
"You little bastard, what... what are you doing!"
Guo Meiyu, hoisted up by Hu Xiaobei, was completely flustered!
"Sister-in-law, you'll know in a second!"
After saying this, Hu Xiaobei broke into a run!
Soon, Hu Xiaobei had settled Guo Meiyu onto the bed...
"You..."
Guo Meiyu wanted to say something, but then she saw Hu Xiaobei pouncing over...
...
After everything was over, Guo Meiyu, drained of strength, drew circles on Hu Xiaobei's chest with her pale and delicate fingers, and started to speak, "You little devil, I asked you to go to the mountain behind the village, but you have to be careful, and you have to take Xiaobai and Hei with you!"
"I... I'll take Xiaobai! Let Hei stay here to keep watch, after all, people might come and mess with the orchard and the vegetable garden!"
"Then... okay then! You fool, listen to me, you have to come back safely! I still want to have children with you, okay?"
"Yeah! I'm tough! Nothing will happen to me!"
"It better be that way!"
Half an hour later, Hu Xiaobei and Xiaobai vanished into the dense forest under Guo Meiyu's watchful eyes...
"You little devil, you must come back safely!"
Watching Hu Xiaobei and Xiaobai disappear, Guo Meiyu muttered with some worry!
If possible, she really didn't want Hu Xiaobei to go to the back mountain.
Because she knew it was dangerous there...
But she also knew it was difficult to change what Hu Xiaobei had decided, so all she could do was silently pray for him...
...
"It's like entering another world!"
Stepping on the thick layer of dry leaves, Hu Xiaobei sniffed the decayed scent and narrowed his eyes!
Hu Xiaobei knew that this place was very close to the village, but it felt like a faraway illusion!
Looking back at the village, Hu Xiaobei solemnly continued to walk forward...
The entire forest floor was carpeted with thick leaves, stepping on them felt very comfortable...
"If it weren't for the decaying stench of the dead leaves, this would really be a great place for a quiet chat!"
Saying this, Hu Xiaobei looked at the thick and stout trees by his side!
Looking at their robust trunks, Hu Xiaobei knew that each of them was over a hundred years old...
That was why they blocked out the sky...
Here the sunlight had a hard time penetrating, making the whole environment seem very gloomy...
"What a weird place!"
Muttering to himself, Hu Xiaobei called out to Xiaobai and continued to walk deeper into the forest...
At that moment, Hu Xiaobei's mind was filled with white dots...
Knowing that each white dot represented a medicinal herb, Hu Xiaobei grinned with delight!
Hu Xiaobei knew this was indeed his treasure trove!
Of course, Hu Xiaobei didn't rush to harvest them because he knew what he needed now was Lingxuezhi!
The other medicinal herbs could be gathered later...
...
"What? That Hu Xiaobei went to the back mountain behind their village?"
In the city, Sakata Hirokazu was slightly surprised when he heard the report from his subordinate!
The kneeling subordinate sensed Sakata Hirokazu's surprise and nodded seriously, "Yes! It seems he's gone to look for something!"
After frowning and tapping on the table, Sakata Hirokazu spoke hoarsely, "What's the situation with that back mountain? Could it cause him to go and never return?"
Hearing his question, the subordinate hesitated for a moment and said, "Reporting to Young Master Sakata, I'm not exactly sure! But many locals say that the continuous back mountain is filled with wolves and such! So if he's unlucky, he may never come out!"
"Unlucky? Getting bitten to death by wild animals would mean he's actually lucky! Because if he falls into my hands, I'll make him beg for life and beg for death."
Sakata Hirokazu despised Hu Xiaobei to the extreme, so if he actually got his hands on Hu Xiaobei, he would make him suffer a thousand cuts!
"Alright, you did a good job with this, you may go!"
"Yes!"
After watching the door close, Sakata Hirokazu coldly said, "Hu Xiaobei, I hope you manage to cling to your miserable life, because when the time comes, I'm going to thoroughly torment you!"
