Amazing! The mighty dragon is out of prison!!

After the old man left, more than a dozen disciples of Medicine King Valley stepped forward, each holding a wooden plaque with their name or group's name written on it.

They were each led to their accommodation.

Qin Mo and the others followed behind Wang Yuanwu, and took the lead in leaving with the two disciples.

After they left, the noblewoman and Lin Sheng walked behind, their eyes still fixed on Qin Mo.

"Ah Sheng, what do you think?" the noblewoman asked.

Lin Sheng commented, "I don't understand medicine, but in terms of skill, this young man is unfathomable."

The lady smiled: "For you to make such a assessment, this young man is truly remarkable."

Her weathered eyes narrowed slightly, and she finally shook her head: "It's a pity he can't save my daughter... Let's go, let's go inside."

As soon as you enter the area of ​​Medicine King Valley, you can smell the refreshing fragrance of herbs.

After entering the archway, the view becomes even more expansive.

You can see countless medicinal fields appearing and disappearing amidst the clouds and mist, nestled among the mountains.

On the mountains behind it, there are also some caves that have been carved out by humans.

Occasionally, smoke could be seen drifting out of one or two of the caves, seemingly indicating that medicine was being prepared.

The place the Medicine King Valley disciples took them to was dotted with hundreds of bamboo houses, which should be a residential area, not the core area of ​​Medicine King Valley.

However, just as Qin Mo had planned, when they arrived at a row of bamboo houses, one of the disciples stopped first and said to Wang Yuanwu, "Alliance Leader Wang, you will stay in this courtyard."

"As for the people you brought, they can go with my junior brother."

He was referring to the fifty people that the Wind and Rain Alliance had promised to give to Medicine King Valley.

Wang Yuanwu was somewhat surprised: "Now?"

The disciple nodded: "Yes, Madam instructed that these people go directly to the Medicine Immortal Cave after they go up the mountain."

"After all, from now on, they are considered people of my Medicine King Valley."

The Medicine Immortal Cave he mentioned should be one of the core areas of Medicine King Valley.

This was exactly what Qin Mo wanted.

Wang Yuanwu glanced back at Qin Mo, and after receiving a nod from Qin Mo, he agreed.

Qin Mo, accompanied by Miao Jianyue and Feizhua, walked among the crowd, remaining inconspicuous.

The disciple led them through the area of ​​the archway and along a mountain path before they arrived at a very spacious cave.

Although it looks like a rough cave from the outside, once you go inside, you'll find that it's not only spacious but also elegantly decorated and fully furnished.

It seems that the disciples of Medicine King Valley usually gather here for meetings.

At that moment, a beautiful young woman was sitting directly above her.

She looked to be only in her early thirties, with a voluptuous figure and alluring demeanor; it was impossible to guess her exact age.

Her face was adorned with bold, bright red lips that seemed out of place in the mountain forest, yet they didn't appear vulgar; instead, they exuded a charming allure.

The woman wore a long cheongsam, which perfectly covered her voluptuous figure.

Only when her black hair was styled into an updo and adorned with silver ornaments could one discern the air of someone from Medicine King Valley.

After the young disciple led them in, he spoke sternly, specifically instructing them, "Our lady is entertaining guests; please wait here."

"Watch your ears and eyes, don't listen to or look at things indiscriminately, and especially don't say anything carelessly."

"Otherwise... you'll have to bear the consequences!"

When he said his last words, the junior disciple gave Qin Mo a special look.

It seems he doesn't understand why the old man didn't cause trouble for Qin Mo.

Qin Mo sighed inwardly: He should have kept a low profile; now he's become a role model, which is making things difficult for him.

But at that moment, Miao Jianyue, who hadn't reacted much since entering the mountain, suddenly grabbed Qin Mo's sleeve.

Her body instinctively moved forward, as if she wanted to walk out.

Qin Mo quickly pulled her back and patiently asked in a low voice, "Don't rush, is that person your stepmother?"

Judging from her reaction, Qin Mo guessed what was going on.

The "Madam" mentioned by these disciples is probably Ji Feiyan, Miao Jianyue's stepmother.

Miao Jianyue nodded, confirming this.

However, Miao Jianyue was agitated not because of her stepmother, but because of someone else.

"Wet nurse," Miao Jianyue said softly, her eyes fixed on the woman's back.

It was only then that Qin Mo noticed that there was another woman standing behind the woman.

Compared to the Valley Master's wife, the woman, who appeared to be in her forties, looked incredibly weathered, both in appearance and demeanor.

She was dressed in coarse linen clothes and had no simple silver ornaments on her head; she was excessively plain.

She was holding a teacup, and her hands were trembling, her fingers turning red, perhaps because the water was too hot.

But Ji Feiyan wouldn't let her put down the teacup, nor did she seem to want to take it from her. She continued chatting with the person across the table.

"President Nangong, I already know about your disciple's situation."

"However, rebuilding the dantian is no small matter. If you want my Medicine King Valley to help, the price..."

Opposite her was a man in his fifties or sixties, dressed in a black Zhongshan suit, with a tall and upright posture and a dignified demeanor.

Hearing Ji Feiyan's words, he frowned: "Madam Ji, I have already agreed to your conditions. What more do you want?"

Ji Feiyan smiled, casually blowing on her nails, seemingly not taking the man seriously at all.

"President Nangong, there's no need to rush. The Medicine King Conference isn't over yet, so we can talk slowly."

"As for your precious apprentice, waiting a couple more days won't hurt."

"However, let me make this clear from the start: the medical skills of Medicine King Valley are not so easy to obtain. President Nangong, you should first adopt a more respectful attitude."

These words showed absolutely no mercy to Nangong Qianjun.

Upon hearing this, two young disciples, a man and a woman, beside him were about to rush forward in anger, but Nangong Qianjun raised his hand to stop them.

Nangong Qianjun's face turned ashen. He stood up abruptly and snorted, "Ha, very well, then so be it, Madam Ji."

"If Madam Ji raises her price again after the Medicine King Conference, then we can forget about negotiating."

"However, I won't stand idly by when it comes to Master Miao's matter!"

After he finished speaking, Ji Feiyan paused her fingernail playing, but didn't react much on her face, just smiled without saying a word.

Nangong Qianjun got up and left, not even finishing his teacup.

As he and his two disciples passed by Qin Mo and the others, Qin Mo glanced at them and murmured, "Nanzhao Martial Alliance..."

Upon hearing this, Feizhua whispered an explanation to him: "That's right, that was Nangong Qianjun, the president of the Nanzhao Martial Alliance, who comes from the secluded and prestigious Tiexian Manor."

"I heard that not long ago, Tang Xiaotian, his most valued disciple, was crippled after returning from an errand. His dantian was shattered."

"They came to Medicine King Valley to seek medical treatment for Tang Xiaotian."

The grappling hook paused, its brow furrowing. "But can someone with a shattered dantian really be healed?"
