On July 14th, in the hot sunshine, Bian Heng arrived at Tideviewing Courtyard punctually with his suitcase at noon.
The moment the gate of Tideviewing Courtyard opened, Bian Heng saw Zhang Tie again after two days. At the sight of Zhang Tie's fancy costume, Bian Heng raised his eyebrows as he glanced at Zhang Tie from his head to his toe, saying, "Your costume is so weird!"
"Haha, beach pants, T-shirt, slippers …" Zhang Tie said as he pointed at his clothes pleasantly, "How about that? Do you want me to make a set for you …"
These days, as Zhang Tie became more and more familiar with Bian Heng, the weather outside grew hotter and hotter. Additionally, he lived on the beach of Whitedragon Gulf and had to go to the sea every couple of days. Therefore, Zhang Tie directly bought some cloth in his spare time and made such a set of simple costume for himself.
After putting on such a familiar costume, Zhang Tie felt like having a vacation by the seaside in Taixia Country.
Watching Zhang Tie's costume, Bian Heng sneered, "Humph, your shorts are loose and thick like a chimney. Your clothes don't even have sleeves. Additionally, they're made of cheap cotton and linen. Not to mention your shoes, they're made of wood and strips of cloth. Even coolies in Emperor NvWa City don't like to wear them. Do you want me to wear them? Do you think that I would fool around with you? Could it be that your brain has been fried these few times? "
Zhang Tie didn't care about Bian Heng's sharp tongue; instead, he continued with a smile, "You don't understand. Such clothes are suitable for the seaside in midsummer. It's cool and airy. It's pretty comfortable. Didn't you ask me about the situation in my world last time? Let me show it to you …"
"Such a costume is ridiculous …" Bian Heng commented distantly as he walked towards the backroom where Zhang Tie was going to receive medical treatment.
Zhang Tie just slightly shook his head with a smile. Closely after that, he followed Bian Heng into the backroom.
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem In some aspects, the aesthetic standards and living habits of the two worlds were too different. As long as Zhang Tie liked it, he could just take it as a pleasure. After all, nobody would come to Tideviewing Courtyard and this beach. People in Tigerback Town didn't like to wander in the back mountain. Additionally, people in Tigerback Town also knew that this region belonged to Tigerback Mountain. Therefore, Zhang Tie became much tranquil. No matter how strange his clothes were, he didn't need to worry about arousing public criticism. If it were a crowded place, Zhang Tie would never do that; because it was just playing to the gallery or he was afraid that the others didn't know that he came from outside Motian Realm.
After entering the backroom, Zhang Tie raised his hand as he swiftly took off his T-shirt and threw it onto the bed, exposing his sturdy body. Bian Heng then opened that medicine case and took out a fiery-dragon qi-gathering pill and a vial of something that Zhang Tie was familiar with.
"Drink this first. After that, take the fiery-dragon qi-gathering pill!" Bian Heng said as he gave that vial and that fiery-dragon qi-gathering pill to Zhang Tie.
"What's this?" Zhang Tie took that vial of medicament as he pretended to be confused. No matter what, as long as he didn't lie in front of Bian Heng, Bian Heng would never know it even if he knew it.
"This is Dragon Emperor Medicament. Emperor NvWa Immortal Palace dispatched people to deliver some to me. I've been studying it these days. If you drink one vial of it now, you should feel a bit better when I perform acupuncture on you. It could also help you recover your physical strength!"
"Oh, given its name, it doesn't belong to Emperor NvWa Palace."
"It indeed doesn't belong to Emperor NvWa Palace. It belongs to Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace!" Bian Heng let out a sigh as he took a look at that vial of Dragon Emperor Medicament in Zhang Tie's hand with a complex look. Closely after that, he shook his head with a bitter smile as he said, "I've worked on it for dozens of years. I've not imagined that the Dragon Emperor could have worked it out after disappearing for so many years. There's always someone better than you …"
"Ahh, you can make it?"
"Humph, it's not that rare. Don't be fooled by the name of Dragon Emperor's Medicament. Its raw materials are just common fruits and a few common herbs!"
"Ahh, if so, why couldn't you make it out after dozens of years?" Zhang Tie asked out of amazement.
"The raw materials of this medicament are common; however, the medicament that could turn these common raw materials into such a marvelous look is extraordinary. I didn't find any suitable medicament across Motian Realm. Therefore, I didn't make such a medicament. This medicament of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace might be able to scare others; however, it couldn't scare me. I'm afraid that the Dragon Emperor might have discovered the medicament that I've been longing for …"
After hearing Bian Heng's words, Zhang Tie revealed an amazed look; however, he admired Bian Heng very much inside. Zhang Tie knew that the medicament that Bian Heng mentioned was the super yeast, the most important ingredient in the production of all-purpose medicament. Zhang Tie had not imagined that Bian Heng had studied the principle of all-purpose medicament before. However, he didn't have Castle of Black Iron; therefore, he couldn't get a suitable yeast.
"How could common fruits and herbal medicines be made into such an effective medicament? If this medicament worked, wouldn't we only take those common fruits and herbal medicines?" "Humph, after death, people are just a handful of dust.
"Hmph, after a person dies, he's just a pile of dust. But can you say that a person is dust? The same thing has different characteristics under different conditions. It can't be simply equated. Take fruits for example. Some fruits are fine when eaten alone, but if eaten together, they will become deadly poisons. There's a profound reason behind it. Forget it, what's the point of me telling you all this? You won't understand even if I tell you. Hurry up and take your medicine …"
After drinking that vial of Dragon Emperor Medicament, Zhang Tie smacked his lips as if he was recalling the aftertaste. After that, he took a Fire-dragon Qi-gathering Pill. Only after a short while, Zhang Tie had felt the familiar heat in his lower abdomen. Bian Heng's first needle was inserted into Zhang Tie's Shrine surging point …
"Oh, you said there were other humans in your world. What do they look like? Do they have two eyes and one nose?" Bian Heng asked Zhang Tie as he treated Zhang Tie's lower abdomen.
These days, Bian Heng and Bian Heng were always chatting in the treatment. Bian Heng was very curious about the world where Zhang Tie came from. Therefore, he always asked Zhang Tie some questions about the world where he came from …
"Those people look similar to us. However, their skin color, hair color and eye color are a bit different. We Hua people have black hair and black eyes; the other humans have different colors. Some of them even have black skin …"
Bian Heng asked Zhang Tie out of amazement as he inserted the needles, "There are people with pitch-black skin?"
"Of course, some people even have brown skin …"
"Doesn't it mean that the men with pitch-black skin look like ferocious ghosts and the women look like yakshas?"
"It's not like that. As long as you get used to it, you will find that some dark-skinned women look sweet and beautiful. Additionally, many of those dark-skinned men look handsome and strong. Many of them are the best fighters and infantrymen on the battlefields. I have a good brother who's also dark-skinned. He's called Bagdad …" Zhang Tie was moved by his friends in Taixia Country.
"One surnamed Ba? Strange, strange …"
"His surname is not Ba, but Bagdad is his surname. Their names are different from ours. Our surname is first, followed by our given name. Their given name is first, followed by their surname. Our languages are different, so if we translate their names, it will look like there are many words in their names …"
"Different languages? Can you speak their language?"
"Yes, I used to live with a lot of people from different races!"
"Hahaha, interesting, interesting. I've not imagined that I could speak a foreign language. I'm unique in Motian Realm …" Bian Heng burst out into laughter …
