Peach Blossom Divine Medical God Chapter 2282 - 2238: News from the Old Beggar

"Young friend, are you trying to trick me? You’re too young for that."

Chen Yang looked gloomy: "You old geezer, you said we were destined, but why won’t you help when it’s just a small favor?"

"It’s not about whether I want to help or not, but maintaining order, you know? Everything in the Ferocious Beast Forest is an opportunity."

"It’s about fate. If I tell you where an opportunity is, wouldn’t that break the rules and disrupt order?"

"So I certainly can’t agree to your little favor."

The old fellow suddenly started talking about principles with a serious and solemn face, as if he were highly respectable.

"Tch." Chen Yang sneered.

"What’s so ’tch’ about it? Does what I said not make sense?" The old fellow responded immediately.

"Not really, you said those with fate get things, but have you thought that our two encounters are also fate? Maybe fate is telling you to guide me, isn’t that also fate?" Chen Yang employed his persuasive skills.

This fate argument left the old fellow bewildered.

Frowning, he couldn’t react for a while.

"Do you think my words make sense? If it weren’t fate, we wouldn’t meet twice. Since we met, it proves it’s fate." Chen Yang continued as the old man remained silent.

The old fellow pondered.

After a long silence, he nodded slightly and spoke: "What you said does have some truth."

"Haha, isn’t that right?"

Seeing it was effective, Chen Yang rejoiced inwardly.

"Meeting twice certainly is fate. Tell me what you need help with, as long as it doesn’t violate principles, I will help." The old fellow said casually.

Chen Yang smiled and quickly said: "It’s no big deal, I just want to find a special flame. Is there one in the Ferocious Beast Forest?"

"A special flame?" The old fellow showed a varied expression.

Chen Yang thought he misunderstood and quickly clarified: "Yeah, a special flame, not a Spiritual Fire, just more powerful than ordinary flames."

"Oh, I thought you wanted me to find Spiritual Fire." The old fellow said.

Chen Yang heard this and felt amused.

"The kind of flame you’re talking about, I do know a place, but I saw someone already fighting over it. If you want it, you must hurry." The old fellow continued.

Hearing there’s indeed one, and someone is fighting for it, Chen Yang quickly asked: "Where is it? What did you see when you got there?"

"Don’t rush, although people are fighting, the guardian demon is no easy opponent. Just them, it’s hard to win soon." The old fellow laughed.

Hearing this, Chen Yang relaxed.

He began to inquire more from the old fellow.

The old fellow did not hold back and directly informed Chen Yang about the flame.

"From here, head south, go another four or fifty miles, and you’ll reach the place."

"It’s a mass of Earth Rock Fire, weaker than Beast Spirit Fire, but to students like you, it’s definitely a rare find." The old fellow said.

Hearing this, Chen Yang became interested, deciding not to eat his meat.

"Alright, old fellow, thank you. If I succeed, I’ll treat you to meat next time we meet." Chen Yang said, taking the wine gourd and guzzling a few mouthfuls.

"Haha, okay."

The old fellow nodded, smiling, as he returned the wine gourd.

After receiving the wine gourd back, Chen Yang stood up immediately, shouting towards the woods: "Xiaosheng, let’s go."

Squeak squeak...

Chen Yang had let Sun Xiaosheng outside, not letting it return to the gourd.

It happily picked fruits and played nearby.

Upon hearing Chen Yang’s call, it swiftly squeaked back.

It jumped up onto Chen Yang’s shoulder.

The sitting old beggar glanced at Sun Xiaosheng, slightly moving his eyes, then asked Chen Yang: "This... monkey, yours?"

"Yeah, mine, what’s up?" Chen Yang grew cautious.

Having chatted enthusiastically, he hadn’t thought the old fellow’s realm was inscrutable, noticing if Sun Xiaosheng seemed off would be troublesome.

"Haha, nothing much, just that it’s an unusual growth." The old beggar smiled naturally.

"Indeed unusual, alright old fellow, I’m off for now. Once it works out, I’ll surely treat you to meat." Chen Yang, seeing no odd behavior from the other, relaxed.

"Uh-huh, alright, hurry, or you’ll miss out." The old beggar nodded, smiling.

Then Chen Yang quickly left with Sun Xiaosheng towards the direction the old beggar advised.

After Chen Yang departed, the old beggar stood up laughing, muttering to himself: "Interesting, so many Immortal youngsters failed, yet this kid succeeded."

"Fortune favors... if Xiao Cang knew that what he sought is right under his nose, he’d go mad, wouldn’t he?"

"Interesting, really interesting."

...

Chen Yang left, ignoring matters behind him, heading towards the direction the old beggar mentioned with full speed.

Forty to fifty miles only took him half an hour or so.

Soon he reached the area mentioned by the old beggar.

Upon arrival, Chen Yang detected battle signs.

Moreover, very intense, a big battle must have occurred here recently.

Additionally, Chen Yang observed signs of battle were everywhere.

"So many signs of fighting? How long has this battle been going on?" Chen Yang was surprised.

Squeak squeak...

As he wondered where those people were, Sun Xiaosheng on his shoulder suddenly pointed in a direction.

"Over there."

He transmitted to Chen Yang simultaneously.

"Okay."

Chen Yang knew Sun Xiaosheng’s senses were sharp and usually correct, so he followed its pointed direction.

Flying in the direction for three to four minutes, he heard noise.

Sounds of fighting, and human conversations.

The sound came from the direction of the valley.

Chen Yang looked towards the valley, noticing he was close, quickly concealing his presence, switching from flying to walking.

Unaware of the valley’s situation, Chen Yang knew he couldn’t approach boldly.

Too risky.

Sneaking would be safest.

He quickly moved through the forest.

As his speed increased and he went deeper, the sounds became increasingly clear.

He was even able to hear what the others were saying clearly.

"Fire Demon King, surrender the Earth Rock Fire, and we will leave. Otherwise, we will surely siege you." A provocative voice sounded.

Boasting greatly.

Hearing this voice, Chen Yang felt very familiar.

Approaching further, he hid atop a large tree beside the valley.
