Divine Doctor from the Start of the Eye Mutation

Chapter 1993 - 1994: Forest at Night

The few of them hid themselves quietly, when suddenly they saw, in the distance, a shadow flash through the jungle, streaking past. The Northern Spiritual Energy surging around that figure was extremely dense, and its speed was incredibly fast.

Just that instant of it flashing by was enough to leave people shocked.

Ling Zhenfei was stunned in his heart. For a figure to be that fast, its strength was definitely terrifying.

Behind him, Sun Wei asked, "What was that thing? Did you guys see it?"

Zhang Zhenlin said, "It moved too fast, I couldn't see a thing."

Ling Zhenfei said, "To me it looked like a human figure, but I couldn't see exactly what it was."

Sun Wei said, "This Xianling Mountain really is mystical, there's all kinds of weird stuff here."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Let's hurry on as much as we can and try not to alarm other things, so we don't stir up extra trouble."

The few of them started rushing on with full speed again, and finally reached that Pile of Rocks before dark.

Ling Zhenfei had a very deep impression of this Pile of Rocks. The first time, he had lived up there, and he had also seen the wondrous sight of all creatures spitting pearls.

Ling Zhenfei took the three and leapt up onto that big tree.

When they saw the tree hole, the three were all surprised; it was exactly the same as when Ling Zhenfei had come last time.

Ling Zhenfei said, "The deep forest at night is extremely terrifying, so we won't be traveling after dark. We'll just make do here for the night."

Sun Wei said, "This tree hole is too small, it can't fit all four of us."

Ling Zhenfei said, "We don't need to go inside. The trunk of this tree is so wide—so long as we restrain our Northern Spiritual Energy and just rest on the trunk for the night, it'll be fine. But there's one thing I have to tell you in advance.

No matter what happens during the night, you must not make any sound, and you absolutely must not use Northern Spiritual Energy, so as not to attract unnecessary trouble."

Actually, Ling Zhenfei was remembering what had happened here last time. Just thinking about the carnage on this Pile of Rocks back then made one feel a chill.

That was why Ling Zhenfei spoke to them like this—precisely so they wouldn't stir up any extra trouble.

Last time they'd run into people from the Blood Oath Sect; who knew what they might run into this time.

Right now, who knew how many cultivators were inside this Xianling Mountain? If something really happened, no one would be able to help them.

By this time the sky had gone dark. To Ling Zhenfei it felt as if the daylight had suddenly been snuffed out. The few of them just sat there on the trunk.

Ling Zhenfei used Northern Spiritual Energy to envelop all of them, in case any of them made a sound and startled something.

Sun Wei said, "How many days do we have to travel like this?"

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow we can reach the edge of Xianling Mountain's core area, the day after tomorrow we'll be at the foot of Xianling Mountain, and the day after that we'll be on Xianling Mountain itself."

Zhang Zhenlin said, "It really is 'you see the mountain but your horse drops dead on the way.' We'd already seen Xianling Mountain before, but I didn't expect it would still take so long to get there."

Ling Zhenfei said, "The paths in the mountain are rugged, and there are some dangers we have to guard against, so our pace will be a bit slower."

Sun Wei said, "It's my first time at Xianling Mountain, but this place really is weird. It's all forest, yet the things inside are just… not the same as elsewhere."

Ling Zhenfei said, "The Northern Spiritual Energy around Xianling Mountain is clearly much denser. And there are lots of animals around here we've never seen before. Like that Chi Tiger we ran into earlier, we'd never seen that either."

Zhang Zhenlin said, "I've never even seen that thing in books. It's really bizarre. How come those so-called biologists don't come research it?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Xianling Mountain is too dangerous; it can be called a forbidden zone for humans. If you come here without real skills, you're dead. And that Chi Tiger is something from deep within Xianling Mountain in Shen Country—it's not something you can just casually run into."

Sun Wei said, "We've been running for a whole day. Brother Ling, don't you have anything to eat? Hurry up and take something out so we can eat."

In fact, Ling Zhenfei really had prepared things. Seeing how wide the trunk was, he used a knife to smooth it out a bit, and the three of them sat around together.

Murong Liuqing had gone into the tree hole to cultivate and wasn't taking part in their conversation. The three men ate dishes and started drinking.

When he'd come with Ru Meng before, the two of them had cultivated in the tree hole. Back then the atmosphere had felt extremely tense, but now, chatting and drinking with Sun Wei and Zhang Zhenlin, he no longer felt that sense of fear.

Sun Wei was the sort of person who feared neither heaven nor earth, so no matter what it was, once it came out of his mouth, it sounded interesting.

Sun Wei said, "The three of us big men just guarding the entrance like this, standing watch for Miss Murong… if word of this gets out later, it might become a romantic little story."

Zhang Zhenlin said, "What else can we do if we don't stand guard? You dare go in there? Aren't you afraid Miss Murong's jade-like foot will just kick you right back out?"

Ling Zhenfei laughed and said, "Listen to you two. It's not like Miss Murong is an unreasonable person.

Originally this tree hole was dug out by another girl. Back when I came with that girl, we spent the night together in this tree hole."

After hearing that, Sun Wei looked full of envy and said, "I'm just jealous of you. You always have so many girls around you. I really don't get it—I'm better looking than you, so how come no girls follow me?"

Zhang Zhenlin said, "What's the use of being good looking? Some things can't be solved just because you look handsome."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Your problem is that mouth of yours. There are some things you just can't say, you know?"

Looking a bit aggrieved, Sun Wei said, "What's wrong with my mouth? My mouth is sweet as can be. Those girls just have bad taste. Whoever ends up with me—if anyone dares to bully her, I'll grab a knife and chop him up."

They chatted and drank, and by now it was very late. A round moon hung above the Pile of Rocks, shining very brightly.

Because the air in Xianling Mountain was so clean, the moon looked especially bright.

At this moment they saw that some small animals had already arrived on top of the Pile of Rocks.

Those small animals were gathering here from all directions, from far and near.

Sun Wei also noticed those little things and asked, "Brother Ling, what's going on? Why are so many animals coming?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Northern Spiritual Energy is abundant in Xianling Mountain, so lots of animals also engage in cultivation. The best method of cultivation is spitting pearls at the moon, absorbing the essence of the sun and moon.

And this Pile of Rocks is the only place around here where you can see the moon, so a huge number of animals come here to cultivate."

Sun Wei and Zhang Zhenlin watched the animal horde below with faces full of curiosity.

The whole stretch of Pile of Rocks was covered with animals, and those animals immediately began the act of spitting pearls at the moon.

Those pearls were the things the animals had produced through cultivation. The bigger the pearl, the brighter it was. The entire Pile of Rocks was filled with a bluish glow from all those pearls.

Seeing this scene, Sun Wei and Zhang Zhenlin were both dumbfounded, and even Murong Liuqing, who had been cultivating in the tree hole, came out to take a look.

Sun Wei said, "So many animals—it's really spectacular."

Zhang Zhenlin said, "This is probably one of the mystical aspects of Xianling Mountain."
