Divine Doctor from the Start of the Eye Mutation

Chapter 1998 1999: Blood Oath Sect

When Ling Zhenfei caught up with Sun Wei and the others, they had already run far and were all sitting on a tree trunk resting.

Sun Wei, panting heavily, said: "Oh, that was a hell of a run, I'm exhausted. If it weren't for your flaming gourd, we would have really been done in by that old guy."

Ling Zhenfei said: "I told you not to mess around; now you've tangled with the Blood Oath Sect, and it's likely to cause trouble in the future."

Sun Wei asked: "Oh, you know that guy? What kind of thing is this Blood Oath Sect?"

Ling Zhenfei said: "I don't know the old guy, but I know the young one—his name is Blood Son."

Murong Liuqing said: "I've heard from my master that the Blood Oath Sect is a sect hidden in Xianling Mountain. This sect is quite ancient, but many of the powerful Dharma Gates in the sect require blood sacrifices, making it very peculiar.

Because they don't often interact with outside sects, they seem extremely mysterious."

Ling Zhenfei said: "Indeed, very mysterious. A friend of mine is connected with them; they use the blood of people with special physiques as mediums, which is truly contemptible. This is also why they don't interact with outsiders."

Ling Zhenfei, pondering intimidation, could not help but think of Ru Meng. Blood Son needed to capture Ru Meng back then, and now who knows how she is.

Since that farewell, Ling Zhenfei hadn't seen Ru Meng, and he wondered if the Blood Oath Sect had found Ru Meng and whether she managed to escape.

After resting for a while, everyone needed to continue their journey. They promised not to meddle again, but alas, it was late, and the sky had already turned dark.

Ling Zhenfei could only find a place for everyone to spend the night. Luckily, Ling Zhenfei knew of several secret hideouts dug by Ru Meng, and staying atop a tree was relatively safe.

However, at this time, it started raining heavily. Though they initially managed to dodge it, the rain poured harder and harder, with spring thunder rolling as if it could split the entire mountain.

Everyone was thoroughly soaked, and even though the leaves were dense, they couldn't shield against the rain.

Sun Wei urged Ling Zhenfei to quickly come up with a solution, and Ling Zhenfei remembered a hidden cave nearby, also one of Ru Meng's hideouts, so he led them there.

Living in a tree within the forest is relatively safe, but sometimes a hidden cave is even more comfortable, especially in the rain.

The cave wasn't far, but since it hadn't been visited for a long time, its entrance was buried under foliage.

Luckily, Ling Zhenfei's soul could easily discern where there was a gap, and they uncovered the entrance and went inside. The entrance was somewhat small; people couldn't stand, but after walking further in, they could stand; the space was quite big inside.

This cave had been expanded by Ru Meng; previously a small cave, it had been enlarged to its current size.

Ling Zhenfei looked around and felt that no one had been here for a long time; Ru Meng hadn't visited.

Everyone sat inside the cave, and Ling Zhenfei once again concealed the entrance and used Northern Spiritual Energy to block their auras.

Now, unless Ru Meng arrived tonight, no one would be able to find them.

Ling Zhenfei took charcoal from the Heaven-Dropping Essence Marrow and started a fire, finally raising the temperature in the air considerably.

Everyone's clothes were soaked; the men took off their outer clothes to dry by the fire, but Murong Liuqing was somewhat embarrassed; she couldn't just take off her clothes here.

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and took a sheet from the Heaven-Dropping Essence Marrow to fix it in a corner.

"Miss Murong, you can change your clothes behind there; you should have brought a change anyway,"

Murong Liuqing nodded and went behind the sheet, and Ling Zhenfei approached the fire.

Sun Wei said: "Running all day, I'm exhausted and starving. If only we could have a meal from Xi Shan Restaurant—it would be perfect then.

Zhang Zhenlin also said: "Yeah, and if we had a cup of Fairy Intoxication, a sip would warm us up and awaken our spirits."

Ling Zhenfei, knowing what these two meant, said: "We don't have Xi Shan Restaurant's dishes, but I can offer roasted tiger leg. Do you want any?"

As soon as Ling Zhenfei said this, Sun Wei and Zhang Zhenlin erupted into cheers; clearly, their goal had been achieved.

Ling Zhenfei took out the Chi Tiger's leg from the Heaven-Dropping Essence Marrow and also retrieved some cooking supplies.

The Chi Tiger's leg was indeed large; even with a few people eating, it might not be finished.

Ling Zhenfei first removed the tiger skin and then took out seasonings and applied them to the tiger leg.

To marinate such a large tiger leg thoroughly would take at least a day, but Ling Zhenfei couldn't wait that long, nor could Sun Wei and the others.

Ling Zhenfei devised a method of using Northern Spiritual Energy to infuse the seasoning throughout the tiger meat.

Knowing the tiger meat was somewhat sour, Ling Zhenfei had prepared extensively for this aspect.

To eliminate the sourness, many of Ling Zhenfei's seasonings aimed to counteract it.

By effectively infusing the seasoning into the tiger leg, he then wrapped it in tin foil and placed it on the fire to roast.

By this time, Murong Liuqing had changed her clothes and joined them.

Seeing Ling Zhenfei roasting the tiger leg, she said nothing as the situation was already as it was; anything she did was futile.

Ling Zhenfei leaned against the tiger leg and took out several bottles of Hundred Flowers Drunk from his Di Tian Shen Sui, then offered a drink to Murong Liuqing.

Ling Zhenfei and the two drank wine; Murong Liuqing drank a beverage.

Murong Liuqing said: "I didn't expect that before we entered Xianling Mountain, so much has already happened. It seems this journey is truly dangerous."

Ling Zhenfei said: "This time is indeed different from before; I really worry something big might happen."

Sun Wei, sipping wine, said: "What could possibly happen? Do you really believe in tales like the reincarnation of the Demon King?"

Murong Liuqing said: "These things exist if you believe; if not, they don't. But I still believe; that divine master is our sect's elder, highly esteemed and unlikely to make mistakes."

Ling Zhenfei said: "I don't know why, but I indeed have a very bad feeling."

Zhang Zhenlin curiously asked: "What bad feeling?"

Ling Zhenfei said: "As you've seen, humans inherently aren't united; I can't imagine what would happen if we ever found the Heavenly God Sword."

Murong Liuqing was stunned and said: "You think we would turn against each other?"

Ling Zhenfei said: "Haven't such things happened often?"

Murong Liuqing said: "I don't quite believe it."

Ling Zhenfei said: "While it hasn't happened, you can say you don't believe, but I believe this matter is no joke."

By this time, the tiger leg emitted an incredibly tempting aroma.

Zhang Zhenlin couldn't help swallowing and said: "It's not even done roasting, yet it smells so good; how delicious will it be when cooked?"
