"What do we do?"
The Great Demon of Bliss didn't expect a Divinity realm expert to appear out of nowhere. He was taken aback for a moment before sending a telepathic message to the parrot.
He was just a pet, so it was best to let his' master 'make the decision.
"Just beat him to death. It's inconvenient for us to show our faces!" the parrot replied.
"Yes!"
Nodding, the Great Demon King didn't waste any time. With a flicker of his body, he appeared right before Elder Windless and raised his palm to strike the latter.
Knowing that he wasn't a match for Zhang Xuan, Elder Mo Feng swiftly took out his Divinity Core, and a faint crimson glow surged toward Zhang Xuan.
An illusory realm appeared.
"Run!"
Turning around, Elder Windless instantly rushed out of the courtyard. Grabbing the still hidden Yao Zhan, he flew straight into the distance.
"Damn it!"
In the blink of an eye, The Great Demon regained consciousness, and his face reddened.
If he hadn't been injured and his origin energy hadn't been depleted, an illusory realm of this level wouldn't have been able to do anything to him! But now, he had fallen for it while the tortoise and the parrot were watching!
How embarrassing!
Furious, he was just about to give chase when the parrot's voice sounded, "Since he has already escaped, there's no need for you to chase after him. Go back and lie down …"
It was just a fellow who had barged into the residence. It wasn't as if he had committed a heinous crime, so there was no need to kill him. Besides, The Great Demon seemed to be rather weak. If he were to chase after the other party, not only would he fail to kill the other party, he might even be killed by the other party.
"Yes!" Seeing through the other party's thoughts, The Great Demon felt a little stifled.
I … am really not weak. You are the ones who are too strong …
Dispirited, Zhang Xuan was just about to return to his residence and pretend to have fainted when he suddenly felt a powerful surge of electricity striking his head.
Peng!
His body was lying straight on the ground. As his eyes were about to fade away, he saw Old Tortoise lying not far away with a stupefied expression.
"Why …"
Zhang Xuan's eyes reddened, and he felt like crying.
I have already lost my dignity and become a tamed beast, so why are you still electrifying me?
"Fainting like this makes it seem more like …" the old tortoise spoke deeply. "It's for your safety!"
The demon king trembled. "F * ck … F * ck!"
If he had known that he would still be electrified, he wouldn't have become a tamed beast! Sob sob … My heart is so tired!
I won't conquer the world in the future. I won't take revenge, okay? Please let me go …
…
Elder Mo Feng stopped at an unknown distance away from the Zhen Immortal Sect. His face was pale as he panted heavily.
Although he had made the correct decision the moment he saw The Great Demon, he had still been struck by his opponent's palm wind. In addition, he had burned his blood essence to escape, so he had been seriously injured!
Spitting out a mouthful of blood, he regulated his breathing for a long time before finally catching his breath.
"Elder Mo, what exactly happened?" Yao Zhan could not help but ask.
"Send a message to the sect leader right away! Tell him that the Junior Uncle of the Immortal Subjugation Sect has colluded with The Great Demon of Bliss to slaughter my tamed beast, the Silver-winged Azure Serpent! Tell him to report this matter to the Ten Sects as soon as possible so that they can uphold justice!"
Elder Windless said.
"Yes!"
Yao Zhan's body stiffened, and his eyes narrowed.
Since Zhang Xuan dared to say such words, it was clear that he had already confirmed the matter. The Quintessence Immortal Sect, one of the Ten Great Sects, was actually colluding with a demonic cultivator. If news of this were to spread, the Quintessence Immortal Sect would surely be besieged by countless sects.
Needless to say, the Immortal Suppression Sect … was completely finished this time!
…
Chen Xiao Yue was the receptionist of Shen Fei's Apothecary Hall. She was very satisfied with this job.
Apothecaries enjoyed high standing and wealth. No matter where they went, they would be respected. Even though she was only a receptionist, as long as she said that she worked here, she would be respected by others.
"It's about time to change shifts …"
Taking a look at the time, Chen Xiao Yue stretched her back lazily. Just as she was about to head to the backstage, she saw a seventeen-year-old young man walking in with a confused look on his face.
With a smile, she walked up to him and asked, "Gongzi, may I know who you are looking for?"
"I am looking for Shen Fei …" the young man paused for a moment before replying.
This person was naturally Su Yin who had come to find him.
Even though Shen Fei was old, his seniority was much higher than hers. No matter how much she thought about it, she could only address him as such.
Hearing the other party call Apothecary Shen Fei by his name, displeasure appears on Chen Xiao Yue's face. However, she suppresses her anger and explains, "Elder Shen went out to gather medicinal herbs and hasn't returned yet... If there's anything wrong, you can tell me!"
"It's nothing much, I just want to learn pill forging …" Su Yin explained embarrassedly.
"Learn pill forging?" Chen Xiao Yue frowned in displeasure.
Shen Fei's Apothecary Hall was the gathering place of the top apothecaries in Great Salt City, and there was no lack of admirers. Every few days, there would be a few who wished to learn from him.
However, putting aside the fact that this place didn't recruit people easily, even if it did, it wasn't a place that any Tom, Dick, or Harry could enter!
Even though the young man before her was rather handsome, there wasn't the slightest hint of Zhen Yuan on him. With a single look, it was clear that he didn't have the slightest cultivation … Yet, he wanted to learn pill forging with such a cultivation?
You must be joking!
Without the smile from before, Chen Xiao Yue said coldly, "I'm sorry, but this isn't a place that imparts pill forging …"
"I have something …"
With a flick of his wrist, Su Yin passed a jade token over.
"Even if you have something, I won't allow it …"
Chen Xiao Yue was just about to reject the jade token impatiently when she caught sight of the object in the other party's hand. Her eyes narrowed, and her face warped in astonishment. "Elder Shen's token? Why would it be in your hands? "
Elder Shen was the founder of this Apothecary Hall, and he was one of the top apothecaries in Great Salt City. Under normal circumstances, even the Great Yan royalty would have to pay a hefty price to invite him to forge pills. Yet, it didn't happen every single time!
This was precisely the reason why the token that represented his identity was so valuable. Even his own son didn't have it … Why would it be given to a young man like this?
"I met it in the morning, and he insisted on giving it to me. Thus, I couldn't turn him down!" Su Yin said.
"…" Chen Xiao Yue was speechless.
Insisted on giving it to him? Couldn't turn him down? Was it really alright for him to put on such an act?
Helpless, Chen Xiao Yue carefully looked at Zhang Xuan and asked, "May I know what tier this gongzi's pill forging skills have reached?"
"Tier?" Su Yin was taken aback. "Are there tiers for apothecaries?"
“？？？”
Chen Xiao Yue's cheeks twitched, and she nearly fainted on the spot.
He didn't even know what tier an apothecary was, and yet, he was here to learn pill forging. Surely he wasn't joking with her!
More importantly, Elder Shen even gave him a jade token …
Suppressing her frustration, Chen Xiao Yue explained, "Apothecaries are also known as apothecaries. Just like cultivators, there are nine tiers to it. Elder Shen is a grade-5 apothecary! "
"I see …" Su Yin's eyes were filled with envy.
He only knew how to identify and concoct medicinal herbs, but he knew nothing about pill forging. Even if he were to learn pill forging, it would take him an unimaginable amount of time before he could reach grade-1 … Yet, that astonished old man in the morning had actually reached grade-5. That was truly frightening!
One really couldn't judge a book by its cover.
"Gongzi, may I know what tier you would like to learn?" Chen Xiao Yue asked.
"I … have never learned pill forging before. I would like to see how a grade-1 apothecary is forged!" Su Yin pondered for a moment before replying.
"Alright! This way please! "
If not for the jade token, Chen Xiao Yue would have already gotten someone to chase the other party out by now. But now, she could only pinch her nose and lead the way.
The grade-1 apothecaries were located in the depths of the Apothecary Pavilion. After walking for a while, the young lady looked at Zhang Xuan once more and said, "Pill forging is divided into: Concocting medicinal herbs, starting a fire, tempering medicinal herbs, and forming a pill! May I know which segment gongzi would like to see? "
"It's that complicated?" Su Yin was taken aback for a moment before replying, "I would like to see how you forge a Spirit Gathering Pill!"
"Spirit Gathering Pill …"
Chen Xiao Yue's vision darkened.
Even apprentice apothecaries were able to successfully forge this pill. It couldn't be considered a true pill due to the low profit margin. Thus, most apothecaries rarely made a move on it.
A person who came here with Elder Shen's token to learn pill forging wants to see this …
It can't be that he really doesn't know anything about pill forging, right?
To be able to make Elder Shen willingly hand over his token despite knowing nothing about pill forging … What did he have?
In an instant, Chen Xiao Yue felt stifled.
If she could obtain the token, she would surely be able to become a true apothecary within ten years.
To give it to a fellow who doesn't know anything about pill forging and cultivation … What a waste!
