The members of the major family clans in the banquet hall took their medicines and left. Along the way, they discussed what had just happened in low voices. Before Jiya left, her beautiful eyes were sparkling. When she looked at Han Shuo, her eyes were full of splendor. It was as though she was getting to know Han Shuo all over again.
Han Shuo's sudden outburst had shocked everyone present. It was only now that they realized that Han Shuo, who usually kept a low profile, was actually a character who was adept at forbearance. All of them immediately elevated Han Shuo's status to a whole new level. No one treated Han Shuo as a pharmacist anymore.
On Elysium, although pharmacists were also respected, they were not as intimidating as a highgod. The respect people had for a genius pharmacist was only because they had a favor to ask. The respect was not from the bottom of their hearts.
However, the respect they had for a highgod was genuine and sincere.
"How unexpected! That youngster possesses such strength at such a young age!"
"What's frightening isn't his current strength, but his forbearance and low-profile. If it wasn't for Portlem's violent actions, I'm afraid none of us would have thought that he possessed such strength!" Beth of the House of Kinson exclaimed after exiting the banquet hall. She glanced at Jiya and softly asked, "What's wrong? My little Jiya is tempted?"
"Of course not!" Jiya's charming face blushed. She giggled and said, "I just think that this fella is very interesting. I have never seen anyone like him in the City of Shadows! It's fine if he doesn't do anything, but once he does, he won't give face to anyone. Hehe, he used to bow and scrape to Andre, but when he was about to kill Portlem, he didn't even bat an eyelid no matter how Andre yelled at him. I'm amazed! "
"I heard that the youngster flew into a rage because Portlem is interested in his woman. Jiya, you must remember that he already has women, and not just one!" Beth reminded softly.
"Mother, what are you talking about!" Jiya softly groaned and walked away impatiently.
Beth looked at Jiya's back and softly sighed. She said, "I have raised you all these years but I have never seen you so interested in a young man!"
…
Inside the secret chamber, Han Shuo and Andre sat face to face. Han Shuo's face was solemn and he didn't say a word.
Andre looked at Han Shuo with a bitter smile and sighed, "Brian, Brian, how many things are you hiding from us? Last time, it was Andrina who suddenly flipped out. This time, it's you. Who else in your Celestial Pearl Pharmacy will show their prowess next time? "
"Lord Andre, if the City of Shadows doesn't welcome us, I will immediately leave with my men!" Han Shuo suddenly said after keeping silent for a long while.
"That's not what I meant. Although you have been deceiving us for a long time, you bear no ill will toward the House of Sainte. Besides, you have saved Carmelita twice and helped me expose the Godswamp Pharmacy. No matter how you look at it, the House of Sainte owes you a favor! " Andre hastily explained when he heard that Han Shuo was about to leave, "However, the Portlem Family possesses great influence. His uncle is here in the City of Shadows to discuss some matters with my elder brother on behalf of the Church. If anything were to happen to Portlem in the City of Shadows, the House of Sainte will not shirk the responsibility!"
"Lord Andre, I understand your position!" Han Shuo first expressed his stance. Shortly after, he said in a deep voice, "But Portlem, knowing that Andrina is a member of our Celestial Pearl Pharmacy, he still tried to snatch my woman. His actions are intolerable!"
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore!" Andre put on a worried face and waved his hand. After taking a short pause, he asked, "Brian, what energy did you use? Why have I never seen it before? "
Han Shuo kept quiet.
"Erm …" Andre was rather embarrassed. He said, "You and Andrina are very strange. The way you use your energy is very unique. I'm just curious, that's all."
"It's a kind of energy similar to fighting aura. I've been cultivating it since I was a child!" Han Shuo thought for a moment before he gave a simple explanation, "As for exactly what kind of energy it is, I'm not too sure either. My master didn't explain it in detail when he imparted it to me. He only said that this energy can only be cultivated by those with special constitutions. An average person wouldn't be able to understand or practice it!" Han Shuo continued to lie.
"That's strange!" Andre said in astonishment.
"Master, what you're doing today isn't appropriate! If the Exalted Demonlord's enemies discover that you're cultivating in demonic arts, they will definitely kill you before you become strong enough! "Cauldron Spirit transmitted to Han Shuo through his consciousness.
"I know. But I really wanted to kill Portlem today!" Han Shuo said to Cauldron Spirit, "This universe is so vast. The chances of me running into that person are very slim, especially when my strength is so weak. That kind of person wouldn't pay attention to me. I think there won't be any problems for the time being!"
"You better be more careful next time. Try not to use demonic arts unless absolutely necessary. If you use it too much, you will inevitably attract the attention of others!" Cauldron Spirit kept silent for a moment before it said to Han Shuo, "Based on my speculation, that person hasn't recovered from his injuries yet. Although the Exalted Demonlord has completely dissipated from this world, the Exalted Demonlord must have inflicted serious injuries on that person before his death. He probably hasn't recovered even now. But we still have to be cautious."
"Got it!" Han Shuo replied.
According to his original plan, Han Shuo wouldn't use demonic arts rashly. If he did, he wouldn't let his opponent live. However, today's situation was special. When he heard that Fanny and the others had nearly fallen into Portlem's hands, Han Shuo couldn't control himself for a moment. That was why he acted recklessly.
Although Han Shuo knew that doing so would bring him some trouble, he didn't think too much about it at that time. The only thought in his mind was to kill Portlem. Now that it had happened, Han Shuo could only learn from his mistake and try his best to make up for it. But after hearing from Cauldron Spirit that the person hadn't recovered, Han Shuo felt a little more relieved.
"Forget it. Since you aren't willing to say anything, I won't force you!" Andre shook his head and sighed when he saw that Han Shuo was silent. He stood up and continued, "But don't worry. As long as Portlem isn't dead, there is still room for negotiation. Brian, there are actually some benefits to you for suddenly displaying such formidable strength! "
Han Shuo stared blankly for a moment and asked, "What benefits?"
"With this, my elder brother will value you even more. If you didn't possess such strength, my elder brother might sacrifice you for the sake of the bigger picture. After all, a pharmacist is just a pharmacist. To my elder brother, who only cares about the strong, a highgod is far less important. But now, it's different. All I have to do is go back and tell my elder brother about what happened today. Given the importance of you and Andrina, my elder brother will do his utmost to protect you, even if he doesn't care about Andrina! " Andre guaranteed, "Therefore, you don't have to leave the City of Shadows. You don't have to worry about this matter. Our House of Sainte will cover it up for you."
After taking a short pause, Andre looked at Han Shuo and said, "But you have to promise me that you will not attack Portlem while in the City of Shadows! Portlem's uncle isn't here today. Otherwise, he would cause a huge ruckus! If you really can't forgive Portlem, you will have to wait until Portlem leaves the City of Shadows. Then, you can find a way to resolve it yourself! "
Portlem had been gravely injured today. To Han Shuo, it could be said that he had vented his resentment. After hearing Andre's solemn instructions, Han Shuo, who had calmed down, pondered for a moment before he finally nodded and sincerely said, "Lord Andre, I'm sorry for what happened earlier. I had lost my rationality back then!"
"I understand, I understand!" Andre said smilingly. But in his heart, He thought, You were calm and composed when you killed someone. How did you lose your rationality?
"Then I won't be seeing you off!" Han Shuo bowed as an apology.
Andre nodded smilingly and left Han Shuo with a few more words of advice before leaving the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy.
As soon as Han Shuo left, Andrina came in from outside and asked, "Brian, are we leaving the City of Shadows?"
Han Shuo shook his head and replied in a deep voice, "Not for now. Let's see how things go first."
"If we don't leave now, it will be too late for the House of Sainte to take us down and give Portlem an explanation!" Andrina bunched her brows and said.
"If the House of Sainte really wants to do that, it's too late for us to leave now!" Han Shuo took a short pause before he asked, "What's going on?"
"Twenty days after we separated, I protected them with a boundary and went out to scout the situation. I discovered that all the godhunters had disappeared. I knew that you must have lured the godhunters away, so I brought them back to the City of Shadows. When we passed by a town, I used twenty thousand black crystal coins to purchase an airship and flew them to the City of Shadows.
When we passed by a valley on our way, we ran into that fella's airship that was headed for the City of Shadows. Although Fanny and the other elder sisters possessed very weak strength, every one of them was exceptionally good-looking. They were rare beauties even on Elysium. That guy saw that our group was weak, so he had evil thoughts. Fortunately, they didn't discover my true strength. When they weren't paying attention, I made a move and destroyed their flying bats. It wasn't easy for me to escape with them.
Because I was injured, before I recovered, I was afraid of encountering any accidents on the way, so I rested for a while before I came back on the airship. That's the gist of the matter! "Angelina gave a brief account of what happened.
"I'm going to check on Fanny and the others. Here, take this bag of black crystal coins. Use it to heal your injuries!" Han Shuo tossed a bag of black crystal coins to Andrina and headed to the room where Fanny and the others were staying.
Thanks to his demon generals, Han Shuo knew where Akley had arranged for Fanny and the others to stay. He quickly arrived at their rooms and comforted them with a few words of comfort and, of course, a few gentle caresses. Only when he was satisfied with their service did Han Shuo dare to leave.
The next day, Han Shuo brought Phoebe, Emily, and the others to introduce them to Gu Li, Akley, and the others. He also told them about the situation of the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy. Phoebe was an expert in management back on Profound Continent. She was very interested in the management of the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy.
Han Shuo knew that Phoebe was an expert in management and therefore recommended to Gu Li that Phoebe intervene in the management of the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy. Although Emily wasn't as good as Phoebe in management, she was also talented in recruiting and recognizing talents. The fact that she was able to climb to a high position in the Dark Mantle was sufficient proof that Emily was a capable person. When she saw that Phoebe wanted to intervene in the management of the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy, she volunteered to help Han Shuo.
Han Shuo really wasn't an expert in management. Therefore, when he saw that the two ladies were eager to help him and he understood their capabilities, he naturally arranged some duties for them.
Fanny had never been involved in management and had no intention of doing so. Therefore, Han Shuo did not make any other arrangements for her.
While Phoebe and Emily excitedly asked Gu Li about the details of the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy, Han Shuo led Fanny to the nearest shop that sold divine weapons.
He had given the Origin Crystals he purchased and some insights on ascension to godhood to Trunks and the others. Now that he had arrived on Elysium, his top priority was to help them improve their strengths. These people possessed decent aptitudes. With the rich elemental energy on Elysium, in addition to special materials and secret manuals, it was only natural for them to make rapid progress.
After spending only three thousand black crystal coins, Han Shuo had purchased all the items he needed from the shop. The items he needed were all low-grade items in the divine weapon shops on Elysium. They weren't particularly precious in the first place.
Fanny was visibly stimulated when she saw those precious items that she wouldn't even dare to think about on Profound Continent being displayed in an inconspicuous corner of a shop on Elysium, priced at a few dozen purple crystal coins or two to three black crystal coins.
"The reason why the people on Elysium can cultivate so quickly is that there are all kinds of resources on Elysium. In addition to the unique environment, it's not surprising that there are so many gods. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people who would fight to the death to get to Elysium! " Said Han Shuo smilingly as he chatted with Fanny. After storing the items into his space ring, he and Fanny returned to the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy.
After returning to the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy, Han Shuo gathered the guests from Profound Continent and placed all the items he had just purchased in front of them. He smilingly said, "Everyone, please pick out the items that suit you!"
Origin Crystals, fluorite used to condense a Body of Element, detailed methods to advance from demigod to basegod, basic steps to advance from basegod to lowgod …
The crowd was dazzled. After Han Shuo finished his words, after learning about the uses of the items in detail, they picked out the treasures that suited their cultivation. After thanking Han Shuo, he impatiently returned to his room to cultivate and digest the treasures that were coveted by everyone on Profound Continent.
It was only after arriving on Elysium that they realized how insignificant their strengths were. In order to shorten the gap between them and the people on Elysium, they didn't want to waste even a second.
