Small Farmer Medical God

Chapter 1881 - 1876: An Unexpected Discovery

"There’s nothing here either!"

After glancing around a few times, the Treasure-hunting Rabbit silently sighed.

At this moment, compared to his previous high spirits, his head hung completely low...

He had searched over ten places by now...

And like before, there was still not a single discovery...

This left him feeling quite despondent.

Glancing at the Hundred-year ginseng beneath his feet, he promptly vanished without hesitation.

If he wasn’t burdened with urgent tasks, he would certainly transform into a little rabbit, gathering all these precious herbs.

But now, he didn’t even spare them a glance because he knew he had far more important matters to attend to.

Like him, Xiaobei had searched quite a few places too, yet had little to show for it.

"It seems finding them won’t be easy!"

Quietly sighing, Xiaobei kept moving forward.

He wasn’t giving up at this point.

He knew he was Yao Ling’s lifeline, so he absolutely couldn’t give up. If he did, Yao Ling would meet a cruel fate.

...

Ten minutes later, Xiaobei stopped at a mountain hollow...

With a detached glance behind him, Xiaobei’s voice came out hoarsely, "Come out now!"

After speaking, Xiaobei silently stared into the distance.

Soon, footsteps sounded behind Xiaobei.

Hearing the approaching steps, Xiaobei leisurely turned his head; the elder he had previously interacted with stood behind him, his expression complex.

Seeing his complicated look, Xiaobei coldly retorted, "Why are you following me? Do you want me to detoxify you?"

Upon hearing Xiaobei’s questioning, he realized Xiaobei misunderstood him...

Taking a deep breath, he quickly explained, "No, my health issue isn’t important. I’m following you to ask, you’re so hurried, what are you searching for?"

Previously, he was waiting in a distant valley for Xiaobei to come back and detoxify him.

Upon hearing movement nearby, he swiftly came out.

He thought Xiaobei had come to find him.

But as it turned out, that wasn’t the case...

Seeing Xiaobei leaving while looking around, he knew Xiaobei had encountered some difficulties...

Wanting to help, he quickly gave chase.

With a glance at him, Xiaobei replied hoarsely, "I intend to find some herbs."

"Which herbs?"

Indifferently frowning, Xiaobei mentioned the names of the required herbs.

Upon hearing the names, he fell silent...

Despite not being a professional, he knew those herbs were truly precious.

Finally, he understood why Xiaobei was so urgently running around earlier.

"I know of a place that might have the herbs you need, though I’m not entirely sure!"

Realizing how crucial it was to save someone, he deeply inhaled and quickly raised his head.

Xiaobei intently looked at him, "You’re not joking with me?"

"No!"

After gazing deeply at him, confirming there was no joke, Xiaobei swiftly said, "Tell me more!"

"Okay!"

He nodded, quickly falling into thought.

For quite a while, he started describing in detail...

It turned out, the place he mentioned was a Forbidden Land.

When the Cao Family had settled here, there was a vast open space around.

That area was perpetually shrouded in mist.

Out of curiosity, many from the Cao Family had gone there to explore thoroughly.

But later, it was designated as a forbidden zone.

The reason being, many who entered never came back.

"So, you’re suggesting the Forbidden Land might have what I need?"

"Yes, though I’m not entirely certain! Still, I can assure you, searching there is much better than aimlessly wandering."

Xiaobei didn’t speak, only nodded lightly...

After weighing the suggestion, Xiaobei realized he made sense.

Taking a deep breath, Xiaobei softly said, "Lead the way now, please."

"Sure, follow me!"

Hearing Xiaobei agree, he felt quite happy.

He was genuinely pleased to assist Xiaobei...

Previously, Xiaobei had helped him numerous times, and he always wanted to repay him.

But because of his lack of skill, he never had a chance.

Now, with a chance finally here, he was truly elated.

Seeing his excited demeanor, the coldness in Xiaobei’s gaze lessened a bit.

But only a little; recalling his past deeds, Xiaobei still felt quite annoyed.

Five minutes later, Xiaobei and he paused beside a cliff.

Xiaobei looked at the abyss ahead, frowning.

"Your eyesight is correct, the hidden location is below the cliff in front!"

Upon hearing this explanation, Xiaobei stepped forward, carefully examining the cliff’s underside...

Instantly, Xiaobei sensed a faint mysterious aura spreading up from below...

"It sure is extraordinary!"

Gazing deeply one last time, Xiaobei collected his thoughts calmly.

With a glance, Xiaobei voiced his concern, "How do we get across? Just jump down?"

"No! You can climb down the cliff face; the elders of our Cao Family once carved a passageway. Though difficult to traverse, it’s far better than jumping straight down."

Hearing about the cliff face, Xiaobei looked over and indeed saw signs of human carving.

However, due to its age, the carved passage was now quite dilapidated.

The average person couldn’t descend here if they tried...

Seeing Xiaobei had noticed, he quickly volunteered, "Do you need me to accompany you?"

"Your health isn’t good, better not."

Shaking his head, Xiaobei stepped forward.

After two steps, Xiaobei paused.

Seeing Xiaobei stop, he was about to ask something when suddenly he felt a sting in his abdomen.

Looking down, he saw a silver needle protruding from his belly.

"This..."

He glanced at Xiaobei in bewilderment.

Xiaobei softly explained, "It can control the spread of toxins in your body, enough to hold until my return."

"Thank you."

"No need for thanks, it’s your due!"

With a casual wave of his hand, Xiaobei continued forward.

Watching Xiaobei walk down the carved passage, he calmly sat down.

He planned to wait here...

This way, if Xiaobei needed anything, he’d be ready to rush up immediately to help.

...

Below the cliff, watching stones rapidly fall, Xiaobei furrowed his brows, murmuring, "Thank goodness my skills are good; otherwise, I truly would have died from the fall just now!"

After a glance at the misstep spot, Xiaobei took a deep breath, cautiously heading further down the rock face.
