Wild Dogs

This senior brother Tong spoke smugly, not caring about human lives at all.

Hearing this, Yang Fan was startled and quickly nodded.

"Don't worry, senior brother. I will always follow your lead and never be negligent."

As he spoke, Yang Fan humbly bowed to Senior Brother Tong. Seeing how sensible Yang Fan was, Senior Brother Tong immediately smiled.

He had no standing in front of Xue Yin and was usually subservient.

He was naturally very proud to be able to show off in front of his junior brother.

"If you follow this path down the mountain from our herb garden, you will see a sacred spring."

"Hurry up and fill this bucket with water, don't be late."

After saying that, Senior Brother Tong swaggered away from the herb garden.

This senior brother obviously had another cave and didn't live here. After this senior brother Tong left, Yang Fan breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Yang Fan picked up the token and then tentatively waved it a few times.

"Boom!"

As Yang Fan shook the token, the array in the medicine garden ahead immediately opened.

Yang Fan was startled. He quickly shook the token again to shut down the formation.

After trying more than ten times, Yang Fan finally mastered how to use the token.

Since he was already there, he might as well make the best of it. Having decided to manage the herb garden anyway, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue.

Fortunately, he had worked in the alchemy room before and knew about the medicinal herbs, so managing the herb garden wasn't too difficult for him.

Having finished studying the token, Yang Fan picked up the jade slip, pressed it to his forehead, and began to examine the situation of the Blood Fiend Sect.

The Blood Fiend Sect has nine peaks in total, including the Joyful Union Peak and eight other peaks.

Yang Fan paid no attention to the other places. He quickly flew over these main peaks, constantly searching for information about Blood Extreme.

After a while, his gaze stopped and landed on a spot on the jade slip.

The peak master of Blood Path Peak, the Blood Extreme Ancestor, with a cultivation level of early Core Formation stage.

Upon seeing the words "early stage of Core Formation cultivation," Yang Fan felt utterly dejected.

This Blood Extreme has already reached the early stage of Core Formation. How could someone with only a small Qi Refining skill possibly defeat such a powerful expert?

Yang Fan couldn't help but feel a surge of indignation.

That old Taoist priest is really ruthless; he actually found him such an opponent.

Thinking about it carefully, the old Taoist really had no chance of getting revenge. His cultivation was only at the Qi Refining stage, and he was no match for the Blood Extreme Ancestor.

It's normal to have your Daoist partner stolen.

But if left unattended, the bloodstain on his chest would be a real problem.

After hesitating for a while, Yang Fan shook his head and put the jade slip away.

"Well, we can only take it one step at a time for now."

He was a Blood Servant, and had little status within the Blood Fiend Sect.

We can only wait for the right opportunity to go to Blood Path Peak and see if there's a chance to steal the Blood Spirit Technique.

Fortunately, I have quite a few trump cards up my sleeve, which I can still use.

After glancing at the medicinal herb garden and the large water vat next to the thatched hut, Yang Fan sighed helplessly.

Now that we're living under someone else's roof, we can only take it one step at a time.

Thinking of this, Yang Fan picked up two wooden buckets and hurriedly left the herb garden to fetch water.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Yang Fan arrived at the bottom of the herb garden mountain.

Sure enough, at the foot of Yaoyuan Mountain, there was a spiritual spring that was constantly spouting water.

The spring water is exceptionally clear and cool, forming a small pool next to it.

"It seems this is the sacred spring!"

Yang Fan stretched his limbs, picked up the wooden buckets, filled both buckets with spiritual spring water, and then immediately ran up the mountain.

Yang Fan was originally a Qi Refining stage cultivator, so climbing the mountain didn't take him too much effort.

However, on his second descent down the mountain, Yang Fan suddenly realized something.

"Yes, I am just a blood servant born of a mortal. If I carry water too fast, it may attract the attention of others. I should slow down."

With that thought in mind, Yang Fan slowly descended the mountain.

Once he reached the foot of the mountain, he pretended to be struggling to carry water to refill the water tank.

It wasn't until evening that Yang Fan finally filled the entire water tank.

At this moment, Senior Brother Tong also returned to the herb garden.

Seeing that Yang Fan had filled the water tank, he nodded in satisfaction.

"very good."

Then he casually tossed down a bottle of pills.

"This is a fasting pill. If you take one, you can go three days without eating."

"This bottle of pills is enough for you for a month. I'll give you a new batch of fasting pills next month."

After saying that, the senior brother Tong didn't bother to waste any more words with him and left directly.

Seeing that Senior Brother Tong seemed uninterested in questioning him, Yang Fan breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I didn't finish the task ahead of schedule, otherwise, this Senior Brother Tong would definitely have noticed something amiss.

After fetching water, Yang Fan returned to his thatched hut and settled down.

After tidying up the thatched hut a bit, Yang Fan looked around to make sure there were no problems, then took out the small cauldron.

He then took the pill and began cultivating.

No matter where you are, strength is still the key.

He needs to improve his strength as soon as possible.

In the following days, Yang Fan drew spiritual spring water up the mountain every day and patiently irrigated the medicinal herbs.

He would bury himself in his studies at night.

With the nourishment of the spiritual spring, these medicinal herbs grew very well, and Yang Fan didn't have to worry about them much.

This gradually relaxed him. Although the Blood Fiend Sect wasn't a proper sect, it wasn't that dangerous most of the time.

Time flew by. On this day, Yang Fan was watering the spiritual herbs as usual when suddenly, Senior Brother Tong flew over.

"Junior Brother Yang, quickly open the barrier."

Seeing this, Yang Fan quickly lit up his token and opened the restriction.

After the barrier was broken, Senior Brother Tong immediately flew in.

The senior brother flew to Yang Fan's side, chuckled, and rubbed his hands together.

"Junior brother, I have a favor to ask of you."

"You need my help? What is it?"

Yang Fan looked at this Senior Brother Tong with surprise.

Logically speaking, a Qi Refining stage cultivator, even if needing help, wouldn't possibly ask a mere blood servant for assistance.

Upon hearing this, the senior student smiled.

"It's nothing, you'll see when you come with me."

Without saying a word, he grabbed Yang Fan and turned to leave.

Yang Fan glanced at the herb garden behind him.

"Senior brother, the medicinal herbs haven't been watered with the spiritual spring yet."

Upon hearing this, Senior Brother Tong waved his hand dismissively.

"Don't worry, these herbs are all spiritual herbs, they won't die so easily. Come with me to take care of the important business first, you can water them when you come back."

Yang Fan could only follow him down the mountain in a hurry.

After a while, this senior brother Tong led Yang Fan to the outside of the Medicine Man Cave at the foot of the mountain.

Looking at the two corpses outside the Medicine Man Cave, Yang Fan's expression turned somewhat grim.

"Senior brother, what are you doing?"

"It's nothing."

Senior Brother Tong patted Yang Fan on the shoulder with a smile.

"That's right, two of the patients couldn't hold on and died inside."

"According to our local custom, once a medicine person dies, they cannot be used to make medicine."

"We need to send it to Corpse Puppet Peak so they can refine corpse puppets."

"Senior brother, I have something to attend to and can't take care of this, so I'd like to trouble you to carry these two corpses up Corpse Puppet Peak."
