“The final stretch of this journey might prove to be difficult. The thing I’ve prepared should be of use now,” Fang Lin muttered to himself, chin in hand.

Everyone paused for a rest and began to discuss how to proceed with the remaining journey.

Reaching the peak was never easy. Every successful climber could be counted as having endured fierce battles with demon beasts on their way up.

Among those present, only Fang Lin possessed the strength to reach the peak. The rest were lucky to have come as far as they had.

They could continue following Fang Lin, but they would need to face even fiercer demon beasts, thus becoming a burden to him.

Everyone, including Xu Shangao, understood this well. They knew that they had begun to weigh Fang Lin down after they passed halfway up the mountain.

Although Fang Lin never complained, Xu Shangao and the others realized it was time for them not to hinder Fang Lin and gracefully step back.

“Fang, we will not accompany you further. We don’t want to be a burden to you,” Xu Shangao said to Fang Lin with a smile.

Fang Lin frowned, replying, “I can take you all up with me.”

Before Xu Shangao could react, another youth intervened, “We too wish to climb with you, but if we join you, we’re afraid we’ll slow you down.”

Another chimed in, “We are satisfied being able to accompany Fang on this journey. After this, seeing him reach the peak will be rewarding enough.”

All of them chose to give up, even though some wanted to reach the peak. But it is important to know one’s limits. At this stage, their retreat was crucial for both themselves and Fang Lin.

Fang Lin didn’t argue any further but merely nodded his head solemnly.

Xu Shangao grinned, “Although we’ve chosen to leave, we’d still like to lend a hand to Fang one last time.”

After escorting Fang Lin for another two hours, Xu Shangao and the rest left Medicine – Seeking Peak.

The group, originally consisted of more than a dozen people, was down to only one person, Fang Lin, on the final stretch of the journey.

Fang Lin felt complex emotions. He was initially reluctant about leading these people, but their short journey together solidified him as their pillar of strength.

Now, with the expectations of Xu Shangao and the others, Fang Lin was preparing to charge towards the peak of Medicine-Seeking Peak.

He was going to reach the peak!

“Just in case, I need to use it.” Fang Lin took a deep breath, looking up at the peak.

Reaching into his Nine Palace Bag, a grey pill materialized. Nonchalantly, Fang Lin swallowed it.

After taking the grey pill, a hint of crimson light appeared in Fang Lin’s eyes, and his body surged with potent Demon Qi.

In that moment, Fang Lin no longer felt like a martial artist, but rather a demon beast disguised as a human.

Fang Lin smirked, feeling the rich Demon Qi coursing through his body. He reached into his Nine Palace Bag and pulled out something else.

It was a segment of large and stark white bone. It was clearly not human, but a beast bone.

A segment of the Demon Beast’s bone!

Fang Lin looked at the segment of bone with an intense expression. He could feel an extremely terrifying aura emanating from it.

“Although this bone of Demon Beast is on the verge of decay, the lingering

Demon Qi within it is robust. The beast, in its lifetime, must have undergone three transformations,” Fang Lin pondered internally.

This segment of Demon Beast’s bone was Fang Lin’s primary reliance on this journey to Medicine-Seeking Peak.

Carrying the bone made the Demon Qi around Fang Lin significantly more dense.

Even while simply standing there, the intensity of Fang Lin’s Demon Qi exerted an overwhelming aura. It was far stronger than what he could summon when he was fighting the White Tiger previously.

“With my current Demon Qi level, I should be on par with a three transformations Demon Beast. I should be unassailable in this

Medicine-Seeking Peak,” Fang Lin affirmed, setting off to the peak.

On his way, a gold python dashed out. When it sensed Fang Lin’s terrifying Demon Qi, it immediately turned tail and fled in panic.

A bear demon, taller than three persons, roared and lunged toward him. But within ten steps of Fang Lin, it spontaneously collapsed and shivered in terror.

A one-transformation, ninth-layer peak white fox attempted to ambush Fang Lin. But under Fang Lin’s gaze, it started trembling uncontrollably, soiling itself in fear.

All of Medicine-Seeking Peak was in disarray. Regardless of their ranks, all demon beasts were forced onto the ground out of fear.

Finally, the most formidable being within Medicine-Seeking Peak, a four-legged python on the verge of becoming a flood dragon, made itself known. It prostrated before Fang Lin like a servant and spat out a white bead from its mouth.

Fang Lin impassively picked up the white bead.

This bead was not a Demon Core but a rare natural resource called a Moon-Spirit Pearl. It is born from the essence of the moon.

This Moon-Spirit Pearl, a treasured item of the four-legged python, had been nurtured over hundreds of years. The python had intended to swallow it when it was about to metamorphosize into a flood dragon and make it a part of itself.

But now, it had willingly relinquished its most prized possession to Fang Lin in reverence. The extent of its fear for Fang Lin could be left to one’s imagination.

To these demon beasts, Fang Lin, with his potent Demon Qi, was one of their own. His prodigious aura compelled all the demon beasts on Medicine-Seeking Peak to submit.

There were no obstacles in his path!

Fang Lin’s approach was unprecedented. While previous Pill Sect disciples who had successfully scaled the peak were no doubt powerful and fortunate, Fang Lin had seemingly ‘cheated’ by intimidating all the demon beasts on Medicine -Seeking Peak with his Demon Qi.

This was Fang Lin’s plan all along.

The pill he had swallowed earlier was concocted from dozens of Demon Cores. It rendered him brimming with Demon Qi for a certain period.

Those dozen or so Demon Cores he had acquired from the Martial Sect disciples had more or less been used to create the pill.

Of course, just the pill wasn’t enough for Fang Lin to act audaciously. The segment of the Demon Beast’s bone was the real key.

The bone segment had also been obtained from a Martial Sect disciple who had failed to recognize its value. Fang Lin, on the other hand, had recognized its potential and discreetly added it to his arsenal.

Now, the bone segment was indeed playing its part.

With the aid of the bone and the pill, Fang Lin disguised himself as a three transformations Demon Beast, thereby dominating Medicine -Seeking Peak.

He was only one step away from reaching the peak!

Just before Fang Lin was about to reach the peak, a woman, marred with wounds, stood at the top of the second peak of Medicine-Seeking. Her pale face bore an excited expression.

“Mediocre disciple Gu Liuli successful in reaching the peak!” a booming voice echoed through Pill Sect, drawing surprised, envious, and admiring glances towards the frail figure on the peak.

Almost simultaneously, a man in white, expressionless, stood at the top of the third peak. Below him, there were three figures in the shadows.

“Elite disciple Meng Chaoyang successfully reached the peak!” The sonorous voice rang out again, announcing the final climber of the third peak.

Meng Chaoyang, one of the Four Elites of Pill Sect, and currently the most renowned amongst them, had successfully scaled the peak..
