"Master Xavier."
Outside the Savage Wilderness, Alfred could no longer suppress the doubts in his heart, "I don't understand. Giving them the medicine powder is fine, but the pills refined by the Ghost Doctor, how valuable it is? You...you give it to a little girl you’ve never met before, isn’t this a bit...ahem!”
He wanted to say it was a waste.
He was just worried that Divine Doctor Xavier would be angry, so he didn't dare to speak out.
Who was the Ghost Doctor?
Not to mention the Prince Charles, even the Quirm royal family needed to look up to him.
The pills he refined were naturally extraordinary, not to mention ten thousand gold, even if it was a hundred thousand gold, a million gold, there would be a large number of people who would grab their heads to buy them.
"It doesn't matter."
Divine Doctor Xavier shook his head.
"The elixir is of no great use to me except as a decoration. If it can help that little girl live a little longer, it will be well used!"
While talking, he glanced at the storage ring in his hand. His eyes dimmed.
"Master Xavier."
Alfred was a little surprised.
"You..."
"Alfred."
Divine Doctor Xavier seemed unwilling to mention it further, so he changed the topic and said, "I just listened to the discussion among the wandering cultivators. It seems that someone in the city has issued a reward for the arrest of someone. Have you heard anything about it?"
Seeing that he didn't want to say more.
Alfred naturally didn't ask any more questions, and sneered again, "Haha, it's a small place with a lot of bullshit, and a small Skyforce City has done a lot of tricks!"
"Forget it."
Divine Doctor Xavier looked in the direction of Skyforce City, "Let's go back. We can't delay any longer with the Prince Charles."
…
Savage Wilderness.
Acker carried Little Fool on his back, his figure kept rising and falling, and he kept shuttling through the dense forest.
During the period.
He met several Second Tier Monster Beasts again.
With his current level of cultivation in the Second-level Realm of Opening Meridians, coupled with the tyranny of Great Extremity Sword Qi, those Monster Beasts couldn't pose the slightest threat to him, and they could only sacrifice his life and Beast Cores in vain.
But until now, he had not come across a single spiritual herb.
No wonder so.
This place was only a little deeper than the outermost edge of the Savage Wilderness. There were naturally a lot of people here. After years of searching, all the spiritual herb and spiritual fruits of certain years had been picked by others. How could it be so easy to find?
"Huh?"
Just as Acker was secretly thinking about whether to go deeper, Little Fool on his back suddenly exclaimed.
"Young Master, something is shining there!"
"Thing?"
Acker froze and looked in the direction pointed by Little Fool.
Where was there anything except a huge ancient tree and some tangled vines?
"Little Fool, did you see it wrong?"
"No!"
Little Fool looked determined.
"Right under the root of the tree, I can see. Oh, it looks like a fat baby!"
Fat baby?
Acker walked over.
Gently pushing aside the rotten leaves that were a foot deep, he was dubious.
"Is this here?"
"Yes, yes, this is right here, Young Master, hurry up and dig!"
"..."
Acker would not think that Little Fool would lie to him for no reason, so he had no choice but to turn into a coolie and keep digging under Little Fool's command.
"Deeper!"
"Soon, soon!"
"..."
Not long after.
A pothole three feet deep appeared in front of Acker.
"Little Fool."
Seeing the cave in front of him was empty, he thrust his sword into it.
"I think it's still... eh?"
At this moment.
A strong Spiritual Qi suddenly gushed out from the cave!
There was something!
Acker’s expression perked up, he waved his long sword, and as the soil flew, a white and tender spiritual herb about half a foot long, with roots all over its body, appeared in front of him!
All around, the Spiritual Qi became more intense.
"Mysterious Ginseng!"
Acker happened to know him.
Although this Mysterious Ginseng was not as good as those extremely rare spiritual herbs, it was still rare. Moreover, this plant liked dark and humid environments and mostly grew underground. It was extremely difficult for ordinary people to detect it except by special means, so it had high value.
Back then, he broke into the Opening Meridians, Auron spent a lot of money to find one for him, but no matter the size or quality, it was far inferior to the one in front of him!
"Little Fool!"
Mysterious Ginseng in hand.
The rich Spiritual Qi made the pores all over his body relax.
"How did you do it?"
"Huh?"
Little Fool scratched her head.
"I don't know, I... I just took a look..."
"Just looking around?"
Acker stared into her eyes.
It was clear black and white, and there was a hint of playfulness in the agility. Other than that, there was nothing else out of the ordinary.
The former Little Fool had absolutely no such ability.
Could it be...
Was the emergence of this ability related to the Soul Deficiency Syndrome, or was it related to the elixir refined by the Ghost Doctor?
"Young Master!"
Aside.
Little Fool looked like she was waiting for praise.
"Am I awesome?"
"Awesome!"
"Hooray!"
Little Fool was so happy that she almost jumped up.
"I can finally help the Young Master!"
"Silly girl...huh?"
Suddenly.
Acker seemed to notice some movement, and subconsciously pulled Little Fool behind him, looking into the deserted depths of the forest in the distance.
He had a keen sense of spirituality.
He never let down his guard, so he naturally discovered something unusual.
Click!
Click!
A sound of broken branches came from far and near,
Footsteps!
And it’s human!
"Who!"
A cold light flashed in Acker's eyes, and he immediately raised the sword in his hand!
"David, this guy's ears are so good, he actually found us."
"It doesn't matter, even if he finds out, he can't escape this time!"
"Haha, if David takes action, it will be easy to catch him!"
"..."
During conversation.
The owner of the footsteps finally appeared. It was a group of people led by the scarred man!
"It's you!"
Acker naturally recognized the person behind him.
"David."
The female cultivator looked at Acker's left hand, a trace of greed flashed in her eyes.
"Look at his hands..."
"Mysterious Ginseng!"
The scarred man looked happy.
"What a good thing! I didn't expect there would be an unexpected harvest this time!"
The Mysterious Ginseng in Acker's hand was worth at least several hundreds Primordial Crystal, so it was a considerable fortune for them.
"This Mysterious Ginseng is mine!"
Acker didn't know that he was wanted and thought that these people were here to seize Mysterious Ginseng.
"Yours?"
In these people.
The man in his thirties sneered.
"You can't even save your life, but you still want this Mysterious Ginseng?"
"Yesterday..."
Acker suddenly felt angry in his heart.
"I just saved your lives!"
"Haha, you also said that you took action because of the Beast Core, it has nothing to do with us, but now you are thinking of bragging about yourself!"
"Enough!"
The scarred man waved his hand.
"Don't waste time, surround him! Don't let the two thousand Primordial Crystals got away!"
Two thousand Primordial Crystal?
Acker was stunned for a moment!
"Boy!"
The scarred man slowly approached. His aura gradually rising, and his cultivation at the Second-level Realm of Connecting Acupoints was fully exposed!
The evil energy surrounding both fists was actually a low-grade Yellow level skill that he had practiced for many years, the Seven Evil Techniques!
"If you meet me, you'll be in trouble..."
Whoosh!
The words were not finished yet.
A sword light flashed suddenly!
Oops!
The scarred man's pupils shrank, and he actually sensed a danger of death.
At a crucial moment, he twisted his body forcefully, but he narrowly avoided the sword light!
Puff!
A soft sound.
The expression of the proud woman behind him froze instantly!
Next moment.
The body and head were separated!
"So close!"
The scarred man looked at the long bloodline drawn on his body and was filled with fear.
If he hadn't been reminded yesterday and knew that Acker had a deadly weapon in his hand and that his cultivation was a level higher than Acker's, he would have been the one who died now!
"What are you doing standing still!"
He became furious.
"Let's do it!!"
"Catch the little girl first!"
The man was well aware of Acker’s strength, so naturally, he did not dare to face him head-on. A cold light flashed in his eyes, his attack changed, and he suddenly fell on Little Fool!
"You..."
The pent-up anger in Acker's heart exploded instantly!
"You are looking for death!!"
Whoosh!
Under anger.
The Spiritual Power in his body surged out crazily as if it were for free. With a wave of his long sword, another Great Extremity Sword Qi flew out and faced the man!
"Ah!!"
A scream sounded!
He was only in the Third-level Realm of Opening Meridians. How could he escape? He was cut in half in an instant!
At this time.
The other two people were only one foot away from Little Fool!
But she seemed to be frozen in fear, motionless, and in her eyes... two rays of light appeared again!
"Die!"
At the critical moment!
Acker's figure suddenly stood in front of her. The sword energy on his long sword was condensed but not emitted, and it pierced someone's eyebrows!
There was no hesitation.
The long sword turned and slashed down, cutting off the other person's head to the ground!
"Boy, die!"
Suddenly.
An angry shout came!
However, the scarred man took advantage of Acker's distraction and approached Acker. A pair of fleshy palms surrounded by evil energy struck Acker!
"You are the one who died!"
At this time, Acker's eyes were blood red, murderous intent boiled in his heart, Spiritual Power was pouring out from his body, and he struck with a backhand sword!
Puff!
In the stunned eyes of the scarred man, his arms flew out instantly!
"You..."
He only had time to say one word, and his head flew up!
There was still a hint of horror in his eyes.
It seemed that he didn't understand why Acker had such strong combat power when he was only in the Opening Meridians Realm.
In just a few moments.
Of the five people who attacked, except for the man who was still howling miserably, the other four were all killed!
"Ahhh!"
"Kill me, please kill me!"
The man kept howling miserably.
With his cultivation level nearby, he would not be able to die for a while, but this great pain almost completely destroyed his mind!
"Please..."
Looking Acker coming over.
He reached out his hand with difficulty.
"Just kill me..."
"Just now."
Acker’s eyes were cold.
"What do you mean by two thousand Primordial Crystal?"
"It's the Griffin Family...it's them..."
Intermittently, the man told everything he knew.
"Wanted?"
Acker suddenly laughed, but there was no warmth in his smile.
"Okay, as expected of the Griffin Family!"
"I hope... you can afford this price!"
He didn't pay attention to the man's pleading.
He packed up the trophies in the field before coming to Little Fool.
"Little Fool, let's go."
Little Fool remained motionless.
"Little Fool?"
He instantly realized something was wrong.
"How are you..."
Subconsciously looking into Little Fool's eyes, his body suddenly stiffened and his mind went blank!
That look...
So weird, so scary!
It seemed that his body, mind, and even consciousness... were being eaten away bit by bit!
