The people of the Medicine King Pavilion were tyrannical in King City, but many people dared not speak out.
They had gathered many alchemists, and each alchemist was incomparably noble. They could have many experts protect them, so it was easy for them to deal with anyone. Even the royal family gave them face, so it could be seen how powerful they were.
After these guards heard Wu Nan's reprimand, they became timid again.
No matter what, their home was still in King City. If they offended these people, it would not be easy for them to survive.
"You don't dare to deal with them?" Yang Wu asked the guards.
The guard commander was a bit more unyielding. He faced Wu Nan and the others and shouted, "Our Lord has spoken. Please leave."
"Chen Xiang, you have big dog guts. Do you believe that I won't have you scram from King City tomorrow?" Wu Nan pointed at Chen Xiang's nose and scolded.
"I am the guard commander of the Medicine Hall's warehouse. My lord has given orders, so I have no choice but to obey. Please leave immediately." Chen Xiang emphasized again.
Yang Wu's eyes flashed with a trace of appreciation. He could see that this commander still had some courage.
"I won't leave. Let's see what you can do to me." Wu Nan responded with the same strength.
"Men, chase them out for me." Chen Xiang was not going to stop until he was done. He shouted at his subordinates.
The guards had no choice but to obey. They quickly surrounded these people and drove Wu Nan and the others away.
Wu Nan and the others were alchemists, so their martial arts were not very strong. Their faces were full of anger, but they could not change the fact that they were being driven away.
Wu Nan stared back at Yang Wu and said: "I'll remember you, Yang Wu."
"Quickly scram. In the future, no one from the Medicine King Pavilion is allowed to take half a step here. Whoever dares to come in again, break their legs." Yang Wu waved his hand and said.
"Hei hei, wait and see." Wu Nan sneered. He flicked his sleeves and led everyone away.
Everyone could feel the fierce revenge behind Wu Nan's sneer.
Yang Wu did not put this threat in his eyes. If he was not in a good mood, he would have directly sent them flying.
As soon as they left, the Medicine Priest appeared.
"Honorable Medicine Priest." The people here, except for Yang Wu, all saluted and greeted him.
Yang Wu bowed to the medicine priest and said, "Medicine Priest, this is the backyard of the Medicine King Pavilion. Don't you feel ashamed at all?"
The Medicine Priest pinched his beard and smiled bitterly, "How could I not feel it? Unfortunately, I am not the opponent of that old man, Yao Yanhai. Now, I can't even compare to his son. I don't have the face to challenge them, which led to the decline of the Medicine Hall."
"So, you deliberately didn't come out so that I could have a conflict with them?" Yang Wu asked.
The medicine priest replied, "Don't tell me you want an old man like me to compete with these juniors?"
"Alright, since you've put it this way, then you'll take care of the big things here in the future. I'll take care of the small things. However, I'll first check the new medicines that will be offered as tribute in the future. What do you think?" Yang Wu said with a sly expression.
"You're already an honored Medicine Priest. This kind of work is natural." The Medicine Priest said with a satisfied expression.
"Alright, it's a deal!" Yang Wu said with satisfaction. Then he said, "Medicine Priest, I want to find some good medicine to refine the Face Preserving Pill for the Empress. What you have here are all inferior products. I think you must have some good things. Quickly take me to see them."
The Medicine Priest bitterly smiled and said, "Follow me."
Thus, the Medicine Priest personally led Yang Wu in a direction. That was the backyard where the Medicine Priest lived.
Other than him, only his loyal subordinates could approach that place. No one else was allowed to enter.
Little Hei murmured on Yang Wu's shoulder, "I've already smelled a strong medicinal fragrance. It seems like this old man really has some good things in his collection."
"That's a must. If I were the Medicine Priest, I would definitely collect some good goods to prevent the Medicine King Pavilion from taking them all away." Yang Wu was not an idiot. Of course, he could understand that the Medicine Priest was the person in charge here. How could he not have some private goods? He would not believe it even if he was beaten to death.
Soon, they arrived at the Medicine Priest's backyard. They walked towards an unremarkable house.
Yang Wu felt the presence of a King in that direction. The other party hid it well, but it could not escape his senses. He thought to himself, "It seems like there are many hidden goods here."
The Medicine Priest personally opened the door to the house. This was a storage room. There were only a few messy things inside, but who would have thought that there was a basement in this storage room. This was where the Medicine Priest hid his good things.
After Yang Wu followed the Medicine Priest down, a strong medicinal fragrance wafted into his nose. He found that this wide basement was filled with all kinds of herbs. He was shocked.
This basement was at least a thousand square meters in size. There were dozens of different shelves placed here, displaying many well-preserved medicinal herbs. Every stalk emitted a strong medicinal fragrance, and there were countless sparkling lights shining. These were the lights of the Spirit Herbs and King Herbs that had been picked. There were at least fifty thousand stalks here, and every stalk was at the Spirit Herb level or above. This was the true National Medicine Warehouse.
"For the sake of the Imperial Court, this old man has put in a lot of effort." The Medicine Priest sighed.
Yang Wu was sure that the Medicine Priest's words were sincere. If the Medicine Priest had hidden so many good things for his own use, there was no need to show them to him.
"Medicine Priest, you have worked hard." Yang Wu said and could not wait to pick the herbs he needed.
The Medicine Priest was very generous and did not care about Yang Wu at all, allowing him to choose as he pleased. He only muttered to himself, "The Medicine King's Hall is very powerful and has roped in many pharmacists. Those pharmacists did not want to be bound by the imperial court, so they all joined the Medicine King's Hall, resulting in the Medicine King's Hall's dominance. Although the Medicine Hall has roped in a few loyal and patriotic pharmacists, there is no way they can compare to the other party. The imperial court also has no way to deal with them. They also have people behind them, resulting in them becoming more and more rampant, and already do not put the imperial court in their eyes …"
It was unknown whether Yang Wu heard the Medicine Priest's words. He picked out one herb after another. His eyes shone as he muttered to himself, "Thousand Year Ginseng King, Earth Spirit Root, these are all the best of the Medicine King …"
Very quickly, Yang Wu was like a whirlwind sweeping away the clouds. He collected the thousands of spirit herbs and Medicine King into his bag. He was not courteous to the Medicine Priest at all.
Little Hei also took the opportunity to swallow a few spirit herbs and two Medicine King. Looking at Yang Wu, she felt her heart ache.
Yang Wu walked to the square shelf in the center and saw that there were dozens of Heaven Medicines in the crystal cover. He immediately cried out involuntarily, "Fog Fruit, Flood Dragon Vine …"
This time, even the Medicine Priest could not remain calm. He quickly rushed in front of Yang Wu and said, "Yang Wu, don't touch these treasures."
"No, I must have the Fog Fruit and Flood Dragon Vine." Yang Wu said very firmly.
These two herbs were the real main ingredients to restore his father's body. He saw them here and naturally did not want to let them go.
"No, every stalk of Heaven Medicine is priceless. It is a life-saving medicine left for the royal family. You can't touch it." The Medicine Priest said firmly.
"I won't take it for nothing. How about I take out the Face Preserving Pill Formula and exchange it with you?" Yang Wu tempted.
The Medicine Priest shook his head and said, "No."
"I'll exchange the Heaven Medicine with you." Yang Wu said in a deep voice.
"Do you really have Heaven Medicine?" The Medicine Priest asked.
Yang Wu did not hesitate to take out the Heaven Medicine that he had obtained from the ice mountain in the Ice Wolf Valley. These were two stalks of Heaven Medicine with Ice Profound Qi and Water Profound Qi. Their value was not inferior to the Fog Fruit and Flood Dragon Vine in front of him.
The Medicine Priest's eyesight was extraordinary. He distinguished for a moment and said, "Let's exchange, let's exchange. Heaven Medicine of the same value is not considered a loss."
"Don't worry, I'll also write out the Face Preserving Pill Formula for you. However, you can't spread it out." Yang Wu saw that the Medicine Priest was so straightforward and also returned the favor.
"You know how to conduct yourself." The Medicine Priest looked at Yang Wu in a new light.
Previously, his impression of Yang Wu was that he was too sharp and easy to break. Now, it seemed that Yang Wu was not as simple as he thought. This was a young Count with wisdom and brains.
"Thank you for the compliment. I'll accept it." Yang Wu was satisfied and exchanged the two stalks of Heaven Medicine he needed.
After that, he went to pick up other herbs. The Medicine Priest did not pester him and once again nagged. It seemed that no one had heard him speak like this for a long time.
After Yang Wu walked around and collected a lot of Spirit Herbs and Medicine Kings, he finally left reluctantly.
In fact, it was not that the Medicine Priest did not really look at Yang Wu at all. Instead, he stole glances from time to time. He watched as Yang Wu collected all the herbs here without blushing or panting. His heart ached. However, compared to those people from the Medicine King Pavilion, Yang Wu was more tactful. For the same herbs, Yang Wu would at most pick two or three stalks. He would not take all of them and would leave some behind. This method was still very civic.
This way, when he needed these herbs in the future, he would not be unable to find them in a short time.
Yang Wu and the Medicine Priest walked out of the basement side by side. The Medicine Priest warned, "The Medicine King Pavilion should come looking for trouble with you first. Be careful."
"What kind of storm can a bunch of alchemists stir up?" Yang Wu said disapprovingly.
Medicine Masters were intoxicated in the path of Medicine Refinement. They had indeed neglected the path of Battle Skills. Yang Wu did not take them too seriously.
"If you don't listen to the advice of your elders, you will suffer losses." The Medicine Priest sighed and shook his head.
Yang Wu did not explain. He was not even afraid of the Imperial Family, so why would he be afraid of a mere Medicine King Pavilion?
Yang Wu wrote down the Face Preserving Pill formula for the Medicine Priest. The Medicine Priest put it away like it was a treasure.
Every rare pill formula was treated like a treasure. This Face Preserving Pill was not any less valuable than any top King Pill formula. In some cases, it was even more useful.
Yang Wu left the Medicine Hall's storehouse and prepared to go home. However, he did not expect that people from the Medicine King Pavilion would actually be waiting outside to take revenge on him. He instantly smiled.
