Chapter 733: The gap between 598 and Ying Zijin completely blows up! [2 more]
As if to prove Ying Zijin wrong, the young man deliberately walked to the front of everyone and stamped his foot again.
Nothing happened.
The young man turned his head, his expression mocking, "What’s wrong? Why stop? Don’t tell me you saw all the medicinal herbs on this mountain and want to claim them all for yourself?"
"It’s only because Qingxue is not in good health and can’t compete with you, otherwise—"
He hadn’t finished speaking when the ground shifted, and a deep pit appeared.
In an instant, his foot found only air.
The young man had no time to react and fell straight down.
His face showed terror, and he let out a scream.
Just then, a hand violently grabbed his clothes, pulling him back up.
Ying Zijin let go and her gaze fell on the suddenly appearing trap, her expression slightly stern.
This kind of large trap was meant for capturing animals.
Some animals’ fur and bones could also be used in medicine, and the Ancient medical field had many such traps.
But this was the mountain they came to for their training; how could such a thing appear here?
The young man broke out in a cold sweat, his legs gave out, and he collapsed to the ground.
The others were also shocked.
Meng Qingxue frowned.
"Did you see? That’s the difference between you and Miss Ying," Foo Chen squatted down, his tone laden with cold mockery, "Judging others by your own petty standards. Next time, have a bit more awareness, or you won’t even know how you died."
The young man’s mouth gaped open, his face turned red, burning with pain, but more so with embarrassment: "I’m sorry, I’m sorry."
He pursed his lips, stood up, and did not go over to Meng Qingxue’s side again.
Ying Zijin did not look at him and turned around, "Everyone, descend the mountain."
"Miss Zijin, aren’t you being overly anxious?" An ancient doctor hesitated before speaking up, "It’s just a trap, a common occurrence. We can’t be afraid of this when we come out for training."
It happens only once a year.
The other ancient doctors were also hesitant and did not move.
After the training was over, ancient doctors of the ancestors’ level would give rewards based on their accomplishments.
They did not want to miss out.
Foo Chen frowned, "All members of the Foo Family, descend the mountain."
Foo Chen’s words carried weight.
No matter how lazy he was, he was still the most prominent of the younger generation in the Foo Family, the genius who led them.
Foo Chen followed Ying Zijin, and the others followed him.
An Ling and An Miaomiao exchanged glances.
If Ying Zijin could say something like this, it wasn’t for nothing.
An Ling thought for a moment and finally spoke, "All members of the An Family, descend as well."
With that, more than half left.
The Pill Alliance split into two groups, one following Ying Zijin down the mountain.
The others remained in place.
Ying Zijin’s rise in the Pill Alliance was too fast, even the Alliance Hierarch constantly praised her. To say they weren’t jealous would be a lie.
An ancient doctor from the Meng Family looked at Meng Qingxue, "Qingxue, should we also descend?"
"What could possibly happen?" Meng Qingxue pressed her lips together, growing increasingly impatient, "Of course, if you believe her, then by all means follow her down. I’ll go up by myself."
Another admirer of Meng Qingxue spoke up, his tone disdainful, "These traps are quite common, just somewhat hidden. What could possibly happen? They are just cowards. Should we of the Meng Family be afraid?"
"With the Foo Family and An Family getting nothing this time, the Meng Family can surpass them by one step."
Meng Qingxue’s expression finally eased slightly.
She maneuvered her wheelchair herself, bypassed the trap, and continued to move forward.
The remaining ancient doctors followed her.
The anomaly occurred at this moment.
As one group descended the mountain and the other ascended, the whole mountain began to move.
Ying Zijin’s footsteps halted abruptly, her expression turning grave, she commanded, "Retreat!"
Having spoken, she immediately took hold of An Miaomiao beside her and rolled violently to the side.
As Ying Zijin spoke, Foo Chen acted as well, immediately pushing others to the right.
The next second, cracks appeared where they had been standing.
An Miaomiao turned pale, "Miss Zijin, it looks like explosives."
Explosives were originally one of the Four Great Inventions of ancient times, and the Ancient medical field naturally also used them.
"It’s not just explosives." Ying Zijin stood up and slowly looked up.
A girl let out a piercing scream.
It was a huge tiger, clearly different from those seen in ordinary zoos.
It was of the same kind as the water snake Ying Zijin had once slain, but much stronger.
The aura emanating from its body was already comparable to that of an Ancient Martial Grandmaster.
This large wild beast definitely wouldn’t be raised by practitioners of Ancient Medicine, since it simply can’t be controlled.
Even within the Ancient Martial World, it would have to be confined by ancient martial artists with high levels of cultivation.
After all, the juniors in the Ancient Martial World don’t have high levels of cultivation. If they encounter a beast comparable to an Ancient Martial Grandmaster, their fate would be death or disability.
Evil doctor!
Not only Foo Chen, but also An Ling and An Miaomiao thought of these two words.
Before experimenting on humans, an evil doctor would first conduct experiments on animals.
Once, a large wild beast broke into the Meng Family.
If it weren’t for the presence of an ancient martial artist in the Meng Family, that beast could have slaughtered them all.
Later it was proven that the ordinary animals were transformed into such monsters by the evil doctor using forbidden methods and herbs that are not allowed to be used.
An Miaomiao’s face turned even paler: "This is bad... terrible!"
Today, all the young geniuses of the Ancient medical field had gathered on this mountain, the future hopes.
One could say that barring a few who were ill or had other matters to attend to, not one was absent.
If they all perished here today, it wouldn’t be much different from the extinction of the Ancient medical field.
Even if not extinct, there would be a disruption for decades to come.
This was an attempt to take everyone down in one fell swoop.
The conspiracy the evil doctor had been plotting for decades finally erupted today.
Most ancient medical practitioners were physically weak. Although they had learned self-defense techniques, how could they fight against wild beasts?
"Run first!" Ying Zijin’s eyes turned cold, "Those who don’t know ancient martial arts, use silver needles and golden needles, block it with trees and rocks."
Even if she were to kill this tiger, it wouldn’t be easy.
"This mountain has been fully scouted by the Pill Alliance and the Three Great Clans!" Foo Chen said icily, "It’s absolutely impossible for there to be any traps or large animals!"
It was indeed a trial, but other dangers had also been excluded.
This meant that an evil doctor had infiltrated the upper echelons of the Ancient medical field!
"Stop talking." Ying Zijin raised her hand, releasing three golden needles hidden in her sleeve.
One of them struck an acupoint in Foo Chen’s shoulder.
Instantly, Foo Chen felt his inner strength surge, his steps quickened, and he ran much faster.
The other two struck the belly of the wild beast.
The beast let out a fierce roar. Far from being deterred, it became even more ferocious.
"Let’s go." Ying Zijin wiped the dirt off her face, her voice cool, "Keep running, don’t look back."

Afternoon.
The Imperial City.
The Ji Family.
Fong Mian emerged from the laboratory, holding two medicine bottles in his hand.
Fu Yunshen turned his head and smiled, "Uncle, have you figured it out?"
After taking over the Ji Family, Fong Mian had restarted the island experiment from twenty years ago.
Fong Mian shook his head slightly: "No, not yet, but it can be confirmed that this thing is not from Earth. It might be a meteorite from outer space, but it’s not quite like one. No element matches it; it’s a very mysterious substance."
Fu Yunshen’s eyes narrowed slightly, "It might not be the case. It’s very likely from a place similar to the Ancient Martial World."
Within the Ancient Martial World, there are still many species that have been declared extinct internationally.
Like the White-bottomed Leaf Monkey.
Last century, Hua Country announced the death of the last White-bottomed Leaf Monkey, declaring its complete extinction.
But there’s a mountain in the Ancient Martial World that’s full of them.
There are also many mineral elements that don’t appear on the periodic table of chemical elements.
The island experiment from over twenty years ago had produced the DEATH poisonous fog, which was obviously meant to prevent the researchers from continuing their work.
Last year, a DEATH poisonous fog appeared again in University Town in O continent, aiming to kill the young tech geniuses.
Fong Mian put the medicine bottles down: "Where’s Yaoyao?"
"She went with the kids to gather herbs for training," Fu Yunshen nodded, "She’s worried about you restarting the experiment and attracting the same people as last time, so she told me to keep an eye on you."
"What could happen to me, that child," Fong Mian sighed, "Ever since she was little, she’s only ever thought of others."
During the decade or so when Ying Zijin’s consciousness and memory hadn’t fully recovered, living in Qingshui County, she would rather save a piece of meat for Wen Tinglan to eat.
They had always lived like that for so many years.
Fong Mian then asked, "When will her training end?"
"According to the tradition of the Ancient Medicine field, it’s two days and one night," Fu Yunshen smiled, "But I’m planning to go up the mountain tonight. She’s picky with food."
"Okay," Fong Mian took off his lab coat and washed his hands, "I’ll go up with you tonight."
At that moment, the phone rang.
Fu Yunshen pressed the answer button: "Hello?"
"Young master, something’s happened!" Yun Shan’s voice was anxious, "The mountain where Miss Ying and the other geniuses of the Ancient medical field went for training, we just received news that it collapsed!"
