Chapter 296: The Great War Approaches

"What!"

Elder Han widened his eyes in disbelief at the news.

"Have Ten Thousand Demons Cave and Ghostly Samsara Hell gone mad? How dare they attack our Grand Medicine Sect?"

"Others may not know the true strength of our Grand Medicine Sect, but shouldn’t they be aware?"

"Furthermore, in less than a year, the Mirage will open. Are they trying to give up the chance to enter the Mirage by starting a war now?"

Elder Shen smiled and said, "It’s not that they became braver, but they were forced to attack us with no other choice."

"Who forced them?"

Elder Shen shook his head and said, "You are always immersed in alchemy, not caring about the outside world, unlike me. I have a busy life, just came back from Boundary Sea a few days ago…"

Elder Han glared at him and bluntly interrupted, "Shen, are you here to boast to me? Spit it out, stop beating around the bush!"

Elder Shen, unfazed, continued, "On the day before the Drug Competition started, the speed of Boundary Sea devouring increased again, not only limited to North Mountain but accelerating from two directions in the northeast."

"In other words, the Ten Thousand Demons Cave and Ghostly Samsara Hell, these two major sects close to the sea, will be swallowed first."

"If they want to survive, they can only leave their homeland and go to the safest place in the Mountain-Sea World right now – Zhongshan Province."

"Of course, our Grand Medicine Sect cannot agree, so they must first destroy us!"

"Or rather, absorb our Grand Medicine Sect, then they will become the true first major sect in the Mountain-Sea World."

"By then, even if it’s a very difficult path, they will likely take control, not to mention a mirage."

"Even if the very difficult path is built successfully, whoever wants to leave for The Great Wilderness area will have to listen to them!"

After listening to Elder Shen, Elder Han fell silent immediately.

Even though these people already knew that the disaster was approaching, they never expected it to happen so fast and become so severe.

"What about the Samsara Sect?" Elder Han pondered, "Although the Western Mountain Province is currently safe, why would the Samsara Sect not get involved in this matter?"

Elder Shen replied, "They are likely to get involved, but currently we don’t have precise information. We only know that within their sect, they are gathering all their strength to train a disciple."

Frowning, Elder Han asked, "Oh? What kind of disciple would make them train him with all their sect’s resources?"

"It seems to be a disciple of the demon race, rumored to have awakened ancient demon bloodline abilities. He may potentially use this power to call for help from ancient demon races from other worlds."

"In any case, Samsara Sect shouldn’t be teaming up with Ten Thousand Demons Cave anytime soon."

Elder Han sneered and said, "Those old fellows from the Samsara Sect are acting foolishly! Even if they bring the ancient demon race, can they really leave the Mountain-Sea World together with the Samsara Sect?"

The sect master cleared his throat softly and said, "We don’t need to think about the Samsara Sect for now. We invited Elder Han today in the hope that he would think twice."

"With the imminent sect war, if Elder Han follows in the footsteps of the Supreme Ancestor, losing his great battle strength would be a huge blow to our Grand Medicine Sect!"

Jiang Yun didn’t know that Elder Han had opened the sixth gate for him. It sounds simple, but the price to be paid is that Elder Han will enter the Land of Inheritance.

Just like the Supreme Elder, who can never leave!

No one understands why there is such a rule, but it was left by the founding ancestor.

Even if you dare to resist, the Land of Inheritance will directly absorb you when the time comes, leaving you no room to fight back.

Therefore, including the sect master, these people strongly oppose Elder Han sacrificing his freedom to open the sixth gate for Jiang Yun, an outsider disciple.

Furthermore, the entire Grand Medicine Sect is facing the threat of a major war now, and any bit of battle strength is extremely valuable, especially someone like him who is an elder of the medicine path.

Facing the stares of the crowd, Elder Han fell silent once again.

。。。

After leaving Elder Han’s residence, Xiao Zheng, who had been waiting outside for three whole days, immediately greeted Jiang Yun.

"Brother Jiang, are you okay?"

Feeling Xiao Zheng’s caring gaze, Jiang Yun couldn’t help but feel touched. As he shook his head, he also noticed the change in Xiao Zheng’s waist sash, from three beads to four.

"Thanks for your concern, Brother Xiao. I’m fine now! Congratulations on being promoted to a fourth-grade pharmacist!"

Xiao Zheng glared at Jiang Yun and said irritably, "Stop teasing me here. My fourth-grade level is still lower than your no-grade level! Come on, follow me back to our master’s valley!"

The rank of a pharmacist requires an assessment at the Grand Medicine Sect before it can be bestowed.

However, even though Jiang Yun had successfully concocted the TianJing Pill, he still had not undergone this assessment, so he was considered a pharmacist without a grade.

However, no one in the current Grand Medicine Sect dares to underestimate him because of this.

Along the way, all the disciples of the Grand Medicine Sect they met were very polite to Jiang Yun, greeting him first, and Jiang Yun naturally responded politely to each of them.

From Xiao Zheng’s words, Jiang Yun also learned that after the competition, Guan Yiming started closed-door cultivation again, apparently feeling too much pressure from Jiang Yun and Xiao Zheng.

Soon, Jiang Yun and Xiao Zheng returned to the valley, only to find that Mei Bugu was not there again. This made Xiao Zheng a bit puzzled as he asked, "Master asked me to bring you back, why did you leave on your own?"

Jiang Yun, on the other hand, replied calmly, "It’s okay, just wait a bit! I want to ask Brother Xiao about something anyway."

"What’s up?"

"Brother Xiao, do you know about the sixth gate?"

"The sixth gate?" Xiao Zheng looked puzzled and shook his head, "I’ve never heard of it."

Jiang Yun wasn’t surprised that Xiao Zheng didn’t know, so he explained the matter of the sixth gate simply.

After listening, Xiao Zheng’s eyes widened in surprise as he exclaimed, "Brother Jiang, this is great news! If you can enter the Land of Inheritance, you will surely gain something!"

Jiang Yun nodded and said, "Yes, for the next three months, I plan to further improve my skills in medicine. So, Brother Xiao, I hope you can help me find more medicinal herbs!"

Since even Elder Han didn’t know what the sixth level was like, Jiang Yun had no way of guessing.

However, Jiang Yun understood the importance of understanding the basics, so he planned to spend the next three months solidifying his foundation in medicine.

Xiao Zheng patted his chest confidently, "No problem, leave it to me! You wait here, I’ll go find them for you now!"

。。。

Meanwhile, on the peak of Seeking-Tao Sect’s Hidden Peak, Dao Tianyou appeared beside Gu Bulao.

At that moment, Gu Bulao looked a bit pale.

This was because using his own abilities, he had just helped his third disciple stop another outbreak of toxicity within his body.

Dao Tianyou looked in the direction where Xuanyuan Xing was and asked, "How long can he hold on if there is no antidote?"

"At most a year!"

Nodding, Dao Tianyou sat down and changed the topic, saying, "Have you heard? Ten Thousand Demons Cave and Ghostly Samsara Hell are planning to attack Grand Medicine Sect together."

"Hmm."

"Jiang Yun should be in Grand Medicine Sect now, right? And if I remember correctly, you spent some time in Grand Medicine Sect before, and it seems that you even left a beautiful relationship behind."

Gu Bulao gave Dao Tianyou a cold look and asked, "Are you just idle?"

"I came to ask you because I have something to discuss!" Dao Tianyou chuckled and said, "So, should we help Grand Medicine Sect this time?"

Gu Bulao shook his head and replied, "Do you think Ten Thousand Demons Cave and Ghostly Samsara Hell will spare Seeking-Tao Sect? I think they will split their forces."

Dao Tianyou also shook his head and said, "Impossible! If they split their forces, in a one-on-one situation, they have no chance of winning!"

Gu Bulao coldly smiled and said, "What if we add the Sea clan?"
