"Answer me, or else..." Wang Xiaoqiang raised the Penglai Immortal Sword, ready to attack again.

"Wait, I'll tell you," the old man said urgently, "I'll tell you everything, but first, you have to tell me who you are!"

"Courting death!"

Wang Xiaoqiang finally erupted in rage. With a move of his willpower, he drew the Penglai Immortal Sword and slashed at the old man three times.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Sword Light roared towards the old man again.

The old man's figure flashed swiftly, dodging once more, but this time, locked by the Qi of the Penglai Immortal Sword, his movements were slightly delayed. Not only was his Spiritual Energy Protective Shield shattered, but he also sustained injuries. A gash was sliced open on his left arm.

"Father..." The girl, who had not intervened until then, threw herself by the old man, shielding him with her body, and finally couldn't help but say, "Why don't you just tell him?"

"I refuse to tell him!"

The old man, now enraged, flipped his right hand to reveal a white Medicine Pellet, threw it into his mouth, and swallowed. Then, pushing away the girl who was shielding him, he stepped towards Wang Xiaoqiang. If not for his sloppy appearance, he had an imposing aura.

Facing an enemy strong enough to dodge his two attacks, Wang Xiaoqiang didn't dare to be careless. He quickly retreated, his hands opened and gathered Spiritual Energy Needle Rain.

As the old man charged forward, he suddenly extended his right hand, but instead of attacking, he flicked a black Medicine Pellet that rapidly flew towards Wang Xiaoqiang. The sudden sneak attack was fast and accurate. Wang Xiaoqiang tried to dodge quickly but couldn't avoid it. When the pellet hit, it exploded into black powder.

Wang Xiaoqiang's Spiritual Energy Protective Shield brightened. The Five-Color Spiritual Qi turned black, blocking the attack of the Medicine Pellet.

Seeing the young man unharmed by the attack of the Medicine Pellet, the old man's eyes narrowed. Without waiting for the Protective Shield to be reactivated, he flicked out two more Medicine Pellets.

Wang Xiaoqiang's eyes hardened, and with a wave of his right hand, he unleashed the Needle Rain, shattering the two Medicine Pellets in mid-air.

"Spiritual Energy Needle Rain?"

Witnessing this technique, the old man's eyes showed surprise. But without any hesitation, he swung both hands, hurling dozens of black Medicine Pellets like a rainstorm at Wang Xiaoqiang.

These black Medicine Pellets were not very powerful. Being hit by them would only cause minor physical injuries; however, the pellets were poisoned. Once the poison entered through the wounds, it would spread through the bloodstream, reaching the heart and claiming life in moments.

Although Wang Xiaoqiang was unaware of the exact danger, he took no chances. As the Medicine Pellets fell like rain, he swiftly backed away while crossing his hands in front of him. With a burst of Spiritual Power, Spiritual Energy Threads shot out from his fingertips like spring silkworms spinning silk, fast as lightning, crisscrossing in front of him to form a dense and shining net.

The next moment, dozens of Medicine Pellets struck the net, all exploding upon impact.

"Spiritual Energy Threads?"

The Sloppy Old Man stared at the net that had dissipated with the explosion of the pellets, his gaze intensifying as he froze in his tracks, incredulously murmuring, "Humph, young fellow, you've got some skills!"

"Haha..." Just then, the vibrant girl, watching Wang Xiaoqiang, burst into ringing laughter.

Hearing his daughter's laughter, the old man was surprised. Turning his head, he saw his daughter watching their formidable opponent while laughing heartily, causing him a moment of frustration as he wondered why she wasn't helping but instead stood there laughing.

Suddenly, the girl's laughter halted, then a look of shock appeared on her face.

At that moment, Wang Xiaoqiang raised the Penglai Immortal Sword, from which a Five-Color Sword Ray burst forth.

White, blue, black, red, yellow.

The Five-Element Sword Rays radiated brilliantly, a spectacular sight to behold.

However, the beautiful sword light did not excite the old man; instead, it frightened him into a cold sweat.

Because he knew very well the formidable nature of the Five Element Spiritual Energy, it matched the power that could only be unleashed by a peerless genius possessing a Spirit Root of five attributes.

The sword tip was aimed directly at the old man.

Three figures stood silently; time and air seemed to solidify.

In a deathly stalemate, Wang Xiaoqiang did not attack.

His menacing expression turned into a silent cold smile, and Wang Xiaoqiang spoke, "You have one last chance, if you don't talk, don't blame me for being ruthless."

The old man took a deep breath, finally submitting weakly, swallowed his saliva, pursed his lips, and said, "Alright! I'll talk."

After speaking, he collapsed onto the ground with a dejected face, his complexion turning purple as if brinjal, and his head drooping.

The Medicinal Beggar, whose medical skills were unmatched in the world, although his cultivation base in the Immortal Dao wasn't high, never had he been compelled to such a state, especially by a youth who was practically green.

Truly disheartening!

Seeing the old man's condition, Wang Xiaoqiang knew there would be no tricks this time, so he put down the Penglai Immortal Sword in his hand but did not place it into the Sumeru Ring, instead holding it in his hand.

Finally, the young girl managed to recover from the shock and cautiously walked to her father's side and obediently sat down.

"Ah! I never thought I, the great Medicinal Beggar, would have a day to bow and submit to someone else!"

The old man sighed, glancing at his daughter beside him. Showing weakness in front of his daughter, he felt even more embarrassed.

Indeed, when he said this, he wasn't merely boasting. The Golden Medicinal Buddha was renowned throughout the world, not for his cultivation or spell techniques, but for his profound medical skills. While the high immortals were all haughty and condescending, none dared to despise this sloppy old man, because the high immortals were also human, and humans could get injured or poisoned, so they dared not disrespect a medical practitioner, especially this highly skilled medicinal sage, Golden Medicinal Buddha.

If this young man in front knew his identity, he wouldn't disrespect him this way.

Wang Xiaoqiang didn't care who you were, the Medicinal Beggar, his face still showed disdain.

While the Golden Medicinal Buddha was still sullen, the young girl nearby interjected, "Dad wanted to use the cub of this tiger to make a Patterned Beast for me…"

"Cub? Patterned Beast?" Wang Xiaoqiang was completely puzzled but was too lazy to think about it and directly said, "As long as I, Wang Xiaoqiang, am here, you can forget about harming this Shadow Flying Tiger."

Saying thus, he sat down briskly on the grass.

"It's not what you think, listen to me…" The girl jumped up excitedly and sat next to Wang Xiaoqiang, beginning to explain in detail, but unexpectedly, she was glared at by her father.

Glared at by the Golden Medicinal Buddha, the girl shrank her neck, displaying an expression of helplessness and innocence. She then moved back to her original seat.

The sun rose, and it was nearly noon at this time, Wang Xiaoqiang felt a wave of hunger and thus took out a Leafless Fruit from the Sumeru Ring. Just as he was about to eat it, he paused, his gaze lifting and tossing the Leafless Fruit to the young girl sitting far away, then silently took out another and began to munch.

The girl caught the Leafless Fruit, and beneath the surprise, a hint of joy secretly crossed her lovely face, yet she did not eat the Leafless Fruit. Instead, she got up and walked to Wang Xiaoqiang's side, her right hand flipping, and from the Storage Ring on her left finger, she took out a piece of biscuit and quietly handed it to Wang Xiaoqiang.

Wang Xiaoqiang glimpsed from the corner of his eye and couldn't help but feel his appetite surge. Having only eaten wild fruits for two months, although the biscuit was dry, to Wang Xiaoqiang, it smelled as fragrant as meat. He unceremoniously took it and started to eat it greedily.

Seeing him eating her offering, the girl felt a burst of joy and settled next to him, beginning to eat the Leafless Fruit.

At this time, the Golden Medicinal Buddha was also hungry; however, all the provisions he had were in his daughter's Storage Ring. Seeing the young couple eating heartily, oblivious to his old bones, he couldn't help but feel aggrieved, thus shook his head and muttered to himself, "This daughter of mine has been raised in vain!"
