Mu Qingling's words caused the Medicine Spirit's mouth to twitch rapidly. Even the two Earth Azure Dragons' mouths crooked, almost turning them into crooked-mouthed dragon kings.
This little human girl actually saw them as edible meat, and even claimed that the old man had captured them. Judging by his trembling hands and feet, he didn't have the ability to do so!
However, considering she was just a little girl and would soon become food for their bloodline evolution, the two Earth Azure Dragons magnanimously decided not to bother with her.
"Little Senior, they wanted to capture you, and Princess Zhao was also scared unconscious by them."
After Mu Qingling spoke, the Medicine Spirit remembered that Mu Qingling's strength was far greater than his own, so she must be at least Saint level.
Most importantly, Mu Qingling was accompanied by a Level 10 demon beast, the Big Black Dog. He had forgotten this earlier due to his extreme nervousness.
Although these two Earth Azure Dragons were also Level 10 demon beasts, they had two of their own, so it wasn't necessarily a disadvantage if a fight broke out.
The most crucial factor was Mu Qingling's identity. Since she could have a Level 10 or higher demon beast accompanying her, the Medicine Spirit believed she must have other means of protection.
Mu Qingling's identity was truly too mysterious. The Medicine Spirit had lived for thousands of years and had never heard of anyone reaching the Saint realm at the age of four or five.
Not in their Xiling Empire, nor anywhere in the True Spirit Realm. The Medicine Spirit even wondered if Mu Qingling had snuck down from the Upper Realm.
"Hmph!"
"So you're bad dragons who wanted to capture Ling'er, scared Miss sister unconscious, and disturbed Ling'er's sleep. I'm going to capture you, skin you, and fry you in oil."
Upon hearing the Medicine Spirit's words, Mu Qingling became furious. Her threat to capture the two Earth Azure Dragons and fry them in oil showed just how angry the little girl was.
As soon as Mu Qingling finished speaking, she took out a ladle, the kind used for scooping soup. Before the Medicine Spirit and the Earth Azure Dragons could react, she leaped up and struck one of the Earth Azure Dragons on the head with the ladle.
Bang!
With a loud noise, the Earth Azure Dragon whose head was struck by the ladle rolled its eyes and collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
Furthermore, a large lump quickly appeared on its dragon head where the ladle had hit.
Bang!
Another loud noise. The other Earth Azure Dragon, still dazed, met the same fate as the first, knocked unconscious by Mu Qingling's ladle.
"Hehe!"
"All done, time to pack up."
Mu Qingling put away her ladle, waved at the unconscious Earth Azure Dragons, and collected them.
"Old grandpa, I'm going back to sleep now!"
As if nothing had happened, Mu Qingling said to the Medicine Spirit before returning to the ark. Only after Mu Qingling disappeared from sight did the Medicine Spirit snap back to reality.
"Is Little Senior too strong, or are the Earth Azure Dragons too weak?"
The Medicine Spirit didn't know what to say. Although he had speculated that Mu Qingling might be at the Saint cultivation level, he no longer thought so.
Being able to knock out an Earth Azure Dragon with a single ladle strike was impossible for a true Saint. Only a Great Saint could achieve such a result.
And the ladle itself was also extraordinary. Those were two Level 10 demon beasts, and demon beasts were known for their powerful physical bodies.
An ordinary ladle would never have such an effect, not even in the hands of a Great Saint. Moreover, the Medicine Spirit hadn't sensed any cultivation being used when Mu Qingling acted.
She had simply struck them twice in a very ordinary manner, yet these two ordinary strikes had taken down two Level 10 demon beasts.
"It seems my choice was the right one."
Looking at Mu Qingling entering the ark, the Medicine Spirit muttered to himself. He then put down Zhao Shanshan and channeled a stream of Spiritual Energy into her body.
"Hmm?"
Soon, Zhao Shanshan woke up, but she still seemed dazed.
"Princess Zhao, are you alright!"
"Ah!"
"Senior, where are those two Earth Azure Dragons!"
After the Medicine Spirit spoke, Zhao Shanshan sat up abruptly. Not seeing the two Earth Azure Dragons from before, she asked nervously.
"They're gone. Earth Azure Dragons will never appear again."
"Gone?"
For a moment, Zhao Shanshan couldn't comprehend what the Medicine Spirit meant. However, as the Medicine Spirit explained, she finally understood.
But Zhao Shanshan was only surprised for a moment, as she had long known Mu Qingling was extraordinary. The current situation was quite normal for her.
Afterward, the two of them retired to their respective rooms, though neither had the mood to cultivate anymore.
As the morning sun shone upon the land and a gentle breeze rustled the leaves, a new day dawned.
Under the Medicine Spirit's control, the ark successfully crossed the Dragon Chasing Sea. However, from this day on, it could no longer be called the Dragon Chasing Sea, as no Earth Azure Dragons would appear in its waters again.
After traveling for another half a day, the ark finally appeared before the mountain gate of the Tianji Sect. The Medicine Spirit put away the ark and brought Mu Qingling and Zhao Shanshan to the entrance.
"This is the Tianji Sect. State your name and purpose if you wish to enter."
Seeing the Medicine Spirit, Mu Qingling, Zhao Shanshan, and the dog appear, the guarding disciples of the Tianji Sect immediately stepped forward to inquire.
"Medicine Spirit from Medicine King Valley. I have an appointment with your Old Ancestor, Old Man Tianji. Please inform him."
"So it's a Senior from Medicine King Valley. Our Old Ancestor already instructed that if Senior Medicine Spirit were to come, he could be brought in immediately."
"Senior Medicine Spirit, please follow me."
Upon hearing Medicine Spirit's words, the guarding disciple quickly bowed. This was a powerful expert, just like their own Old Ancestor, and moreover, a Senior from Medicine King Valley.
Furthermore, their Tianji Sect's Old Ancestor had already given instructions that if Medicine Spirit came, he could be brought directly to him.
"Alright!"
Medicine Spirit softly acknowledged the disciple and, bringing Mu Qingling and the others along, followed the disciple's footsteps. After a short while, they arrived in front of a wooden house.
"Senior, our Old Ancestor is already inside. You can go in yourself."
"Mm!"
Although Medicine Spirit was a bit puzzled that Old Man Tianji would live in such a place, he figured the disciples of Tianji Sect wouldn't deceive him.
After the disciple left, Medicine Spirit walked towards the house. Just as he reached the door, it automatically opened, and a young attendant emerged from within.
"Senior, my master sent me out to greet you. Please come in with me."
The young attendant bowed to Medicine Spirit and then turned to walk inside. Medicine Spirit said nothing and followed him in.
Upon stepping through the doorway, they found themselves not in a room, but in a small world filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers. Medicine Spirit couldn't help but pause in surprise.
He hadn't expected Tianji Sect to have such a place. This was clearly a small world created by a powerful expert. It seemed the rumors that Tianji Sect was a branch of a sacred land were true.
