NOVPUBYun Xiao had been watching over that section of Lotus Medicine King these days and would not return under normal circumstances, unless something happened to the Lotus Medicine King.
"What’s happened?"
Although Wang Sheng desired the Lotus Medicine King, he didn’t feel much disturbance in his heart if it were really gone.
To him, the Medicine King was not even a bonus, it was just because he was curious that he wanted to find it and take a look.
Otherwise, he would have gone to see the Lotus Medicine King himself long ago.
"Chirp chirp chirp~"
It was different for Yun Xiao; it valued it tremendously.
It was something that could prompt evolution for itself and Da Bai, so it quickly relayed what it had seen.
It seemed that some humans had also found that Lotus Medicine King and were already guarding it.
"Others have found it?"
Wang Sheng didn’t find it particularly strange; the unique fragrance of the Lotus Medicine King had persisted for nearly half a month, during which time all sorts of beasts, even spirit beasts and demon beasts, were attracted to it.
It wasn’t odd for someone to notice something unusual.
Lately, many people had been ascending the mountain in search of Spiritual Medicine, and according to Medicine Gatherers who occasionally passed through Qingshan Village and the experiences of the martial artists in the village, it seemed that there were more Spiritual Medicines in the mountains than usual.
So much so, that it was abnormally high, thus attracting a lot of Medicine Gatherers into the mountain.
These people were not very strong.
Either they were Medicine Gatherers specifically cultivated by some martial artist forces, or they were low-level martial artists who could not obtain cultivation resources, so they entered the mountain hoping for a stroke of luck.
The former could be said to be toiling away. To prevent escape, they had undergone various restrictive measures.
It was just unknown who had found the Medicine King.
If it were the former, then the place was likely now occupied by stronger martial artists.
According to what Yue had said, the Medicine King was considered a precious resource even among Great Grandmaster level forces, with the bloodthirsty type of Medicine King ranking even higher.
Therefore, upon receiving the news, stronger martial artists would certainly be sent to ensure foolproof security.
If it were the latter, it would not be much of a threat, such martial artists had no backing, and lacked strength.
"Chirp chirp chirp~"
Yun Xiao directly relayed the detailed situation.
There were many people, and their strength was beyond his ability to cope with; otherwise, he would have driven them away himself instead of returning.
Wang Sheng instantly understood what was probably going on.
Yun Xiao’s strength was not particularly strong, but martial artists of the fourth or fifth grade couldn’t handle him, and those below the third grade would not be his match if they really fought.
This meant that the people who had come were mostly those strong martial artists, at least Sixth or Seventh-Grade Martial Artists.
"Understood, it should mature in the next few days, let’s go and check it out together!"
Since it was about to mature, it was good to go and take a look.
To put it bluntly, the Lotus Medicine King was first discovered by someone from the village.
Da Bai was also aware of the situation and was somewhat anxious, so it moved quickly.
It had already undergone one evolution; the obstacles in the forest couldn’t stop it at all. Maybe it couldn’t fly, but with Yun Xiao leading the way, it only took about ten minutes to reach the location of the Lotus Medicine King.
Before arriving, Wang Sheng had already released his Divine Thought.
Sure enough, there were already many people guarding here.
Wang Sheng roughly assessed their strength, which was stronger than he had imagined.
There were three leaders in total, all Seventh-Grade Martial Artists, but it seemed that they were currently in a standoff.
Behind each of the three followed quite a few people of varying strengths, and some looked very young, about ten years old or so, with very weak strength—practically First Grade martial artists. It was unclear what use there was in bringing such people to an event like this.
Were there really such strong martial artists nearby?
He thought that after the Green Flood Dragon Gang and Cheng Jiang had made their moves, there wouldn’t be any strong martial artists left.
Under the effect of Divine Thought, these people had no idea that someone was observing their every move.
"Zhao Ji, Zheng Xingxian, this Medicine King should have been discovered by our family first, your families are truly shameless!"
"Jiang Xiu Cheng, it’s not certain yet who discovered it. You claim that your family found it first, but you do know we arrived here at the same time, right?" This was a burly man, extremely sturdy. The muscles on his body seemed like they could burst his clothing, practically a humanoid violent bear.
"Brother Jiang, since we’ve already agreed on the terms, is there a need to talk about these things? Tomorrow is the moment for the contest. Instead of talking about this, we might as well think about how to win tomorrow!"
Jiang Xiu Cheng was almost amused to death by the shamelessness of these two.
It was also his carelessness. Upon learning of the Medicine King, he came out without much thought, and both the Zhao Family and the Zheng Family were cunning. Seeing him emerge, they followed him directly and found out.
"Alright, let’s settle it tomorrow. Each family will put forward three youngsters, and the final victory will determine the distribution."
Hearing this, Wang Sheng also had a rough idea of what was going on.
It was three families of similar strength wanting to fight for the Medicine King, and since none could overpower others, they decided to let the younger generation compete.
Wang Sheng found this quite amusing.
This wasn’t a space where strength was limited. They let a group of youngsters determine such an important resource, which was rather strange.
Of course, whatever the issue, it had nothing to do with him.
