Da Xia Imperial City.
Ever since Da Xia signed the peace treaty with the Barbarian Race, Da Xia Imperial City was bustling with people and carriages. It was bustling with activity, showing the style of a main city.
Yang Wu brought the Silver Patterned Turtle back to the Yang Family quietly. He did not make a big fuss like he did when he came back from the border. He was afraid of being surrounded by the citizens.
With his current identity and status, who knew how many ladies were interested in him and wanted to marry him? Who knew how many young men had already taken him as their idol? Their passion was incomparably crazy.
This could be seen from the young men and women who surrounded the Yang Residence all day.
They would loiter in front of the Yang Residence from time to time, hoping to see Yang Wu. Maybe Yang Wu would take a fancy to them and take them in as followers or maids.
Yang Wu did not have the time to think about these things. He was worried about the safety of his family. He quietly returned to the Yang Residence without alerting anyone. Even Xue Ji, Du Guang Fo, and the others who were guarding here did not notice. After all, Yang Wu was stronger than them. If he wanted to hide, they would not be able to sense him.
Yang Wu thought to himself, "I must refine the 'Qi Reversal Pill' as soon as possible to help Father recover his strength. Only then can I be at ease."
This was a security risk that needed to be taken seriously.
No matter how strong the guards were, it was not as safe as being strong himself.
Yang Wu went to find his parents. He was still conflicted about how to talk about Yang Wen.
Soon, he walked to his parents. When his parents saw him, they revealed a happy expression. Su Roumei rushed to ask, "Wu-er, where's your brother?"
She kept looking at Yang Wu's back with a longing expression.
Yang Zhennan also had a look of concern on his face. Both of his sons were precious to him, but his youngest son had never suffered any hardships since he was young, and he didn't have the slightest bit of martial strength to rely on.
Yang Wu said with a drooping face, "Brother, he … he … he said he wants to go out for a walk and doesn't want to come back for the time being."
This time, Yang Zhennan and Su Roumei's expressions did not look good.
"Did something happen to him?" Su Roumei asked with tears in her eyes.
Yang Zhennan also frowned and said, "Speak clearly."
Yang Wu hurriedly said, "Father, mother, don't worry. Little brother is fine. I've already seen him. He really doesn't want to come back. He said that he has read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles. He wants to broaden his horizons and increase his knowledge. He will come back to see you in half a year if he's quick and a year if he's late. I've already arranged for guards to protect him.
. "Yang Zhennan asked. Yang.
Su Roumei said worriedly, "How could Wen 'er not want to come back to see us? We have been separated for a year. He is a filial child. Wu' er, tell me honestly, did something happen to him?"
A mother knows her son best.
Yang Wu and Yang Wen were both brought up by Su Roumei. She was very clear about their reactions. How could things be as simple as Yang Wu made it out to be.
Yang Wu could not hide it from his parents. He walked with them to the main hall and told them about what happened in Long Tuo City.
However, he changed the story a little and did not tell them the truth. He only told his parents that his younger brother had a sweetheart, but the other party disliked his status. His younger brother's sweetheart married someone else, and his younger brother was extremely sad and dispirited. It was also because of his arrival that his younger brother pulled himself together and said that he was too ashamed to go back to see his parents. Therefore, he wanted to go out and see, broaden his horizons, increase his knowledge, and at the same time, open up the knot in his heart.
Su Roumei believed Yang Wu's words. Feelings were the most hurtful and she could completely understand. At the same time, she also felt sorry for her son. If it was in the past, there would be many people who wanted to propose marriage. Even the current Emperor wanted to give the Princess to Yang Wen. Now, he was rejected by a small family. It was really hateful.
Yang Zhennan was skeptical. He did not think as simply as his wife. He could hear that Yang Wu was holding back. However, he did not expose him. His son had his reasons for saying this.
Yang Wu said this white lie because he did not want his parents to be so worried. Especially since the sister-in-law that he had never met was dead. This blow was too great and he was afraid that his mother would not be able to take it.
Yang Zhennan comforted his wife and changed the topic. "Yang Zhennan, why did you have a conflict with the people from the Medicine King Pavilion? They have already come to find us."
"Oh, the people from the Medicine King Pavilion dared to find trouble with me?" Yang Wu said in astonishment.
"Yes, they have already spread the news. They want you to accept their offer of enlistment and become a part of the Medicine King Pavilion. Otherwise, you will have to compete with them in alchemy. Only then will they recognize you as an alchemist." Yang Zhennan said.
"What a joke. Do I need them to recognize me as an alchemist?" Yang Wu said in disdain.
Su Roumei said from the side. "Wu Er, even the Imperial Family avoids the Medicine King Pavilion. We must not start a conflict with them."
Yang Wu lightly patted the back of his mother's hand and said. "Mother, you can rest assured. Your son has already grown up. There are some things that should be done and some things that should not be done. I am very clear in my heart. If the Medicine King Pavilion wants to bully others, they must consider whether or not they have the ability to do so."
His heart gave birth to a thought. "The Medicine King Pavilion may be the best source of power for the Marquis Clan."
He and Sun Dou already had the idea of forming a force. Then the first strike would start with the Medicine King Pavilion.
Sure enough, the Medicine King Pavilion's provocation once again came to the Yang Residence. It was a letter of challenge, inviting Yang Wu to compete in alchemy in the Medicine Hall's warehouse. Alternatively, Yang Wu could directly submit to the Medicine King Pavilion.
After Yang Wu finished reading this letter of challenge, a ball of flame appeared in his palm and burned the paper clean. He said to Du Guang Fo who sent the letter. "Send me a letter of challenge. I want to challenge their pavilion master. I will ignore all the other small fries. Moreover, the location will be set in the Imperial Palace. Let everyone witness this lord's alchemy skills."
"Yes, Captain!" Du Guang Fo replied and left.
Yang Wu squinted his eyes and muttered. "If you want to do it, then do it big. It's not good to be too petty."
After that, Yang Wu returned to his room to meditate. He had an opportunity to break through to the high rank King Realm.
Back when he was at the border, he had already reached the late stage of the Mid King Realm. However, he had been busy with all sorts of trivial matters these days, so he didn't have much time to cultivate. However, that didn't mean that he hadn't made any progress. While he was cultivating the Soul Control Heart Sutra, the Nine Revered Profound Arts was also circulating, and the power in his Peach Core Dantian was growing every day. Moreover, he had a pure and spotless body. As he breathed, he was able to absorb profound energy, and those impure energies were purified and filtered by his Dantian, becoming the purest form of energy.
During this period of time, Yang Wu pursued the improvement of his soul energy. This would be of great help to his alchemy journey.
Before breaking through to the high rank Earth Sea Realm, he planned to improve his soul energy further and completely control the "Soul Guidance" stage. Then, he would be able to release his "Soul Eye" talent as he wished.
…
While Yang Wu was meditating, the matter of his counterattack and provocation to the Medicine King Pavilion had been completely blown out of proportion.
After the Medicine King Pavilion received the challenge from Du Guang Buddha, it was as if the pavilion was in an uproar.
"Who is this Yang Wu? Is his brain damaged? He actually wants to challenge our pavilion master."
"I heard that he is a young general who knows a bit of alchemy. He probably wants to become famous by challenging the pavilion master."
"In these years, not many people have dared to challenge our Medicine King Pavilion. The younger generation will surpass us in time."
"The location of the challenge is in the imperial palace. His tone is not ordinary. I feel that the pavilion master should send his disciple to accept the challenge."
…
Most of these alchemists were people who did not care about outside matters. They did not pay much attention to Yang Wu. When they suddenly heard this news, they all expressed disdain. They felt that Yang Wu was just blindly challenging to become famous.
In the main hall of the Medicine King Pavilion, Yao Lingyu had naturally received the challenge. He sneered and said, "It seems that this Yang Wu is very confident."
"Master, what should we do?" Wu Nan asked in a low voice.
Originally, he and Third Senior Brother Zhang Huojie wanted to challenge Yang Wu. However, Yang Wu did not accept the challenge at all. He turned around and gave them such a big move. He was really arrogant.
Zhang Huojie said from the side, "Master, accept his challenge. When we go to the imperial palace, I will fight for you and let him see what alchemy is."
His eyes revealed a look of confidence. He was very confident that he could defeat Yang Wu.
Yao Lingyu sneered and said, "No need. Since he has the courage to challenge this pavilion master, this pavilion master will naturally show him his skills. It just so happens that I haven't shown my face in the imperial palace for a long time. I want everyone in Da Xia to know that if our Medicine King Pavilion dares to claim to be second in alchemy, no one dares to claim to be first."
Yang Wu's challenge was another opportunity for him to show off the Medicine King Pavilion. He replaced his father as the pavilion master of the Medicine King Pavilion. Other than a few limited times when he showed his alchemy skills, no one else had seen it. This time, he planned to broaden the horizons of the civil and military officials in the imperial palace. He wanted to show them how he, the genuine Medicine King, got his name.
…
In the splendid imperial palace.
The Emperor received the news of Yang Wu's challenge to the Medicine King Pavilion. After he heard the news, he showed a bit of anger and said, "How interesting. It seems that they don't put me in their eyes."
Qiao San Ye said from the side: "Your Majesty, this is a good thing. Although that brat Yang Wu is arrogant, he definitely has real talent and knowledge. Moreover, he is willing to accept your arrangement, so he shouldn't give you any more trouble. Him provoking the Medicine King Pavilion with such great fanfare, I think he wants to save face for Your Majesty."
"What do you mean?" The Emperor asked.
"You must have heard about the matter of Yang Wu in the Medicine King Pavilion. The Medicine King Pavilion has always been blatantly greedy for the country's medicinal herbs. In order to refine the Face Preserving Pill for the Empress, Yang Wu started a conflict with the people of the Medicine King Pavilion. Yang Wu has already spread the word that the people of the Medicine King Pavilion are not allowed to set foot in the Medicine King Pavilion. The Medicine King Pavilion is naturally dissatisfied. However, Yang Wu even dared to defy the Emperor's imperial edict. He naturally doesn't put the Medicine King Pavilion in his eyes. Qiao San Ye analyzed. After a pause, he said, "The Emperor arranged for Yang Wu to be the honorary medicine priest. He should have thought of this day, right?"
The Emperor revealed a trace of a smile and said, "I really can't hide anything from teacher's eyes."
