Among the three people, Sun Tiancheng was the most exaggerated one. This old guy's nose twitched like a monkey for a short while as he watched that jade box with dubious eyes. At the same time, he scratched his ears and cheeks, "That's strange. Why haven't I smelt this fragrance before? It shouldn't be. I could identify over 100,000 kinds of herbal medicines and poisons. Even if they are mixed together, I could also identify their components. What's in this jade box? That's strange …"
Thinking of Sun Tiancheng's straightforwardness, Du Zhongling could not help but smell the scent coming from the jade box. Although there was some doubt in his eyes, he still reservedly stroked the beautiful long beard on his chin and did not say anything.
After smelling the fragrance from the jade box, Fei Zhengtao changed his face a bit; however, he didn't say anything either.
At the sight of it, Zhang Tie had known that only Fei Zhengtao could identify what was in the jade box. Fei Zhengtao should have touched it in the imperial warehouse of the imperial palace. Although the other two people were national masters, they didn't have a chance to touch it.
Zhang Tie didn't let the three people guess what was in the jade box; instead, he directly told them the answer, "Each of the three jade boxes contains a fruit of cross-realm flower. This is Zhang Tie's appreciation to you. Without your help, I don't know what would happen to me now. However, I'm clear about my current situation. As the saying goes, Buddha helps the predestined ones; medicines could never cure diseases. The influence of the thunder of nirvana couldn't be cured by common medicinal pills. You've already tried your best. As for the rest, I will figure it out myself. Please accept it!"
'Fruit of cross-realm flower?'
After hearing Zhang Tie's answer, Sun Tiancheng the Medicine King and Du Zhongling the Pill Immortal revealed a shocked look at the same time. The fruits of the two realms flowers were absolutely legendary. Very few people across Taixia Country could see them. It was even rarer than silver secret items. Even the imperial palace of Xuanyuan Hill might have very few of them. So many nobles in the imperial palace were gazing at it. Very few of them could touch it.
The item in the jade box was too precious. It was too precious. If Gold and Power Market in Xuanyuan Hill released the news that such a fruit was going to be auctioned, the entire Xuanyuan Hill might be shocked at once. It's okay for men, but for women. There would definitely be women who would be willing to do anything for this thing.
"Immortal, you risked your life to save humans at the bank of Weishui River. Your meritorious deeds will be remembered for thousands of years. It's my responsibility and honor to be entrusted by the crown prince to save immortal. The fruit of cross-realm flower is too precious. This humble official dares not accept it!" Fei Zhengtao had stayed in the imperial palace for too long and was an official of Taixia Country. After hearing that Zhang Tie was going to gift each of them a fruit of cross-realm flower, he was so scared that he changed his face as he hurriedly shook his head.
"Hahaha, Old Man Fei, if you don't want the fruit of the Two-Realm Flower, I want it!" Although Sun Tiancheng was a bit humorous, he was able to put it down easily at this moment. As he burst out into laughter, he directly took a jade box in front of him and put it away in his space-teleportation finger ring. Without even looking at it, he put the jade box into his spatial ring. "This thing is very useful to me. I've always wanted to find one in the past, but I couldn't find it even after searching for several decades. I've not imagined that I could fulfill my wish in Xuanyuan Hill. Immortal, you're really forthright. I, Sun Tiancheng, appreciate immortal today … "
After saying that, Sun Tiancheng put away his item. Closely after that, he watched Zhang Tie with his small eyes and nose squeezed together. Although he looked a bit funny, he asked Zhang Tie very seriously, "Do you think that I'm here for your fruit of cross-realm flower?"
Zhang Tie replied with a smile, "Medicine King, you're always passionate and chivalrous. You just want to contribute to the holy war. How could Zhang Tie look down on the moral character of Medicine King for a fruit of cross-realm flower? In Zhang Tie's heart, although you're not tall, you would never be shorter than anyone else …" After hearing Zhang Tie's words, Sun Tiancheng watched Zhang Tie for a short while with a complex look before letting out a deep sigh all of a sudden, "Alas, I've not come here in vain.
Alright, you two don't need to pretend anymore. This is Immortal Qianji's sincerity. You'd better take it. As you're both married, no woman doesn't like it. Take Du Zhongling as an example. Don't you always want to promote to a knight? With this fruit of cross-realm flower, even if you don't use it, you could exchange for any rare medicinal materials with it. With those medicinal materials, you could make some cauldrons of Bottleneck-breaking Pills, Spirit-Gathering Pills and Star Pills for yourself. By then, it would be much easier for you to promote to a knight; especially you, Fei Zhengtao. If your wife knows that you could bring her a fruit of cross-realm flower today, but you didn't bring it back due to your thin face, I'm afraid that you would not be as simple as kneeling on the washboard … "
After hearing Sun Tiancheng's words, Medical Sage Fei Zhengtao's face blushed at once as he replied pretty bashfully, "No need to do that; no need to do that …"
Medical Sage Fei Zhengtao was born in a poor family when he was young. However, he was extremely talented. Later on, he came to Xuanyuan Hill to study and was favored by a young lady of a major official clan in Xuanyuan Hill. Later on, he married into her family. With the financial support of that major official clan, he gradually made brilliant achievements in the fields of medicinal pills and medical science. However, from then on, Dr. Fei, who was a major power in Taixia Country, became henpecked. Even though Fei Zhengtao had become a leading figure in the field of medicinal pills and medical science in Taixia Country and was always a distinguished guest wherever he was in the emperor's imperial city, as long as Fei Zhengtao returned home, he had to follow his wife's order. A few years ago, Fei Zhengtao secretly married a concubine and made her pregnant. Later on, his fierce wife discovered it and made a big scene. The fierce wife of Dr. Fei directly had her servants pick up Dr. Fei's concubine from Xuanyuan Hill. Nobody knew where she was. It was said that Dr. Fei had to kneel on the washboard for half a year because of this. Not until that concubine gave birth to his baby did he end this event.
Even commoners in Xuanyuan Hill had heard about the affairs of Medical Sage's family.
"If so, we appreciate immortal's kindness. Later on, if immortal needs my help, this Du will never decline it even if it's thousands of miles away …" Du Zhongling cupped his hands towards Zhang Tie solemnly. Closely after that, he put the jade box into his portable space-teleportation equipment.
Seeing that Du Zhongling had accepted the jade box, Professor Fei finally blushed and accepted the jade box in embarrassment. "Since that's the case … Thank you … Thank you …"
