Chapter 152: Chapter 150: Treasure Medicine Map
He looked like a shameless rogue, a far cry from the refined young master he’d been moments ago.
Only after the three Spirit Cultivators had left did Yee Youmeng finally lift his large machete off of Wei Xiaohao.
Jiang Jichen took out the Water Spirit Treasure Medicine he had just picked, plucked off a leaf, and tossed it into his mouth.
The Water Spirit Treasure Medicine offered unparalleled benefits to Water Spirit Cultivators, but its healing properties were even more significant.
A single, small leaf of the Water Spirit Treasure Medicine contained an astonishing amount of Water Spirit Power. After Jiang Jichen refined it with the *Source Character Qi Condensing Technique*, it quickly soothed his internal injuries, healing most of the damage in an instant.
The remaining injuries would heal slowly over time, but with Jiang Jichen’s formidable Life Cultivation, they were nothing to worry about.
After all that, Jiang Jichen turned his gaze to Wei Xiaohao. A sinister smile spread across his face. "You’ll do whatever we say? Good. Then first, hand over the map marking all the Treasure Medicines."
Hearing Jiang Jichen’s words, the color drained from Wei Xiaohao’s face.
He hadn’t expected Jiang Jichen to be so perceptive—to know that he possessed a Treasure Medicine Map.
In truth, for Great Families like his with ancient lineages, members of every generation entered the Training Land. They would mark the locations of any immature Treasure Medicines they discovered and compile them into maps.
Over many generations, these efforts resulted in a comprehensive map of the medicines’ locations. When descendants entered the Training Land, they could easily find these Treasure Medicines simply by following the markers on the map.
And now, Jiang Jichen was demanding that very Treasure Medicine Map from Wei Xiaohao.
Seeing Wei Xiaohao hesitate, Jiang Jichen smiled coldly and said to Yee Youmeng, "Youmeng, cut him down. We’ll just search his body."
He didn’t want to waste another word. Yee Youmeng, for his part, immediately raised his large machete, ready to strike.
Wei Xiaohao’s heart went cold at the sight. He remembered the weight of the large machete on his shoulder. ’Just a light tap,’ he thought, ’and I’d be turned into meat paste. How terrifying is that?’
"Wait, I’ll give it to you! My life belongs to you two masters, let alone a single Treasure Medicine Map!"
Without another moment of hesitation, Wei Xiaohao took out a beast-skin map and handed it to Jiang Jichen.
"Wei Xiaohao, since you know what’s good for you, I’ll spare your life for now. Serve my little brother, Yee Youmeng, well. If you neglect your duties in any way, I’ll kill you without a second thought!"
Jiang Jichen said with a wide grin, the Treasure Medicine Map now in his hands.
"Yes, yes... From now on, you two are my masters. I, Wei Xiaohao, will serve you with all my heart!"
Wei Xiaohao said with a fawning smile.
But inwardly, he was weeping tears of blood. ’Damn it all! Me, the distinguished Young Master of the Wei Family, not only a prisoner whose life could be snuffed out at any moment, but I also have to serve that terrifying machete-wielding boy with all my heart. The humiliation! I hate this!’
’I will burn this hatred into my heart,’ Wei Xiaohao secretly swore. ’One day, I will wash this shame away with blood!’
At that moment, Yee Youmeng spoke coldly, "No need."
Jiang Jichen asked curiously, "Why not?"
Yee Youmeng thought for a moment. "He looks useless. He can’t even lift my large machete."
Jiang Jichen: "..."
Wei Xiaohao: "..."
In the end, Jiang Jichen handed the Totem Youth over to Wei Xiaohao.
Of course, everything Wei Xiaohao had on him, including his Mid-Level Storage Bag, ended up in Jiang Jichen’s possession. He was left with only a Basic-Level Storage Bag containing daily necessities and was also tasked with carrying the Totem Youth on his back.
Furthermore, Jiang Jichen had used a mysterious technique to seal half of his Cultivation, leaving him with absolutely no way to resist or escape.
Never mind that half his Cultivation was sealed; even at full strength, he would be no match for Yee Youmeng’s large machete.
Besides, he now had a deep-seated fear of—and psychological trauma from—the large machete that Yee Youmeng was always dragging around.
Another thing that filled him with dread was the Restriction Jiang Jichen had placed inside his body. He couldn’t break it even with the Wei Family’s Supreme Spiritual Cultivation Heart Method; he couldn’t even budge it in the slightest.
Generally, one had to reach at least the Foundation Establishment Realm to be capable of using such a powerful Restriction.
But Jiang Jichen was only at the Innate Sixth Layer Initial Stage, yet he could already accomplish such a feat. This fact shocked and terrified Wei Xiaohao all the more.
’These two are absolute monsters!’
Wei Xiaohao sighed inwardly. From the incomparably powerful Jiang Jichen to Yee Youmeng dragging that astonishingly heavy large machete, both were complete freaks of nature. He couldn’t possibly resist them. If he wanted to live, his only choice was to obey and prove his worth.
Jiang Jichen walked at the head of the group, Wei Xiaohao walked in the middle carrying the Totem Youth on his back, and Yee Youmeng brought up the rear, dragging his large machete.
Jiang Jichen held the map in his hands, studying it intently. It was the Treasure Medicine Map from Wei Xiaohao. On it were over twenty star-like marks in four different colors: green, red, purple, and multi-colored.
According to Wei Xiaohao, the red dots represented Treasure Medicines that were mature and ready for harvesting. Sure enough, Jiang Jichen found the location of the Water Spirit Treasure Medicine he’d acquired earlier, and it was marked with a red dot. In total, there were nearly ten red dots on the map.
The green dots, of which there were a dozen or so, represented Treasure Medicines that were not yet mature.
The purple dots indicated the most precious Treasure Medicines, whose value far exceeded the others. There were two of them on the map.
Finally, the multi-colored dot represented a top-tier Treasure Medicine, of which there was only one on the map.
’If we just follow this map, we’ll really hit the jackpot.’
’Damn, this Treasure Medicine Map is a priceless treasure! If I can snatch a few more from other Noble Family Descendants, the haul would be... just thinking about it is exciting!’
With the Treasure Medicine Map in hand, the group began their treasure-hunting journey.
The red dots on the map were nearly all located at the edges of the Training Land, so Jiang Jichen could find and harvest them with ease.
Of course, many of the Treasure Medicines were guarded by powerful Spirit Beasts. However, they were all below the level of Tier Ten Profound Level Spirit Beasts. When facing a single beast, Jiang Jichen and Yee Youmeng could easily kill it by working together.
As they worked together, both Jiang Jichen and Wei Xiaohao came to truly appreciate the power of the large machete in Yee Youmeng’s hands. Even a heavily wounded Tier Nine Profound Beast would be beheaded by a single strike from him. His fighting style was ferocious and brutal to the extreme.
Wei Xiaohao was now completely subservient, consciously learning to do things he had never known how, or needed, to do before.
Starting fires, roasting meat... he took care of all their daily chores.
He was a pampered young master, after all. Sometimes he’d do a shoddy job or try to slack off. But whenever he did, Yee Youmeng would appear like a ghost, slam his large machete on the ground, and the little Young Master of the Wei Family would have to scramble back to work. If the job wasn’t done right, he’d have to do it again.
As long as Yee Youmeng was present, the little Young Master of the Wei Family could truly be kept perfectly in line.
By now, Wei Xiaohao was far more afraid of Yee Youmeng than he was of Jiang Jichen.
Of course, Wei Xiaohao had tried a small act of rebellion once. But when they were surrounded by ferocious Spirit Beasts, no one paid him any attention, leaving him to be nearly swallowed whole by a giant, bloodthirsty wolf. In the end, it was Youu Xiaomeng who lopped off the wolf’s head in the nick of time.
The rank stench of wolf’s blood sprayed all over his face. From that day forward, Wei Xiaohao followed Yee Youmeng’s every command and never dared to defy him again.
