Chapter 798: Chapter 798: Obtaining the Medicinal Herbs Chapter 798: Chapter 798: Obtaining the Medicinal Herbs “Is this really true?”
Watching Zhang Junlan exude such confidence, Wang Jiuzhong, despite his disbelief, felt the need to confirm once more.
“The Elder should not underestimate my teacher. It’s not just about dispelling cold poison; even completely curing it is not a problem,” Zhang Junlan said confidently, bursting with pride when he mentioned Feng Wuchen.
“Completely cure it?” Wang Jiuzhong’s aged face changed dramatically, his expression one of disbelief.
“How is that possible…” Shangguan Yunyun’s pretty face turned blank. She, along with the higher-ups of the academy, knew full well how dreadful the cold poison afflicting the Elder of the academy was.
Over the years, Wang Jiuzhong didn’t know how many elixirs he had concocted to suppress it, trying every possible way to drive out the cold poison, but he could never completely eradicate it.
Even the head of the academy couldn’t root out the ancient cold poison.
Now hearing Zhang Junlan claim that Feng Wuchen could cure it completely, how could they dare to believe?
“The Elder can rest assured. How about exchanging the Ruyi Purple Spirit Flower for a cure of the Elder’s cold poison?” Zhang Junlan asked with a smile, speaking as breezily as if discussing the weather.
Looking at the triumphant Zhang Junlan, Wang Jiuzhong smiled faintly and said, “If you can really cure the Elder’s cold poison, why not make the exchange? Dragon God Palace has indeed piqued my curiosity, and I’m even more curious about your teacher, Feng Wuchen. If you have a chance, bring him to the academy for this old man to meet.”
Hearing this, Ye Tianwei pointed to a notice nearby and laughed, “Elder, is it not easy to meet our Hall Master? This alchemy conference is a good opportunity. After looking over it, this alchemy conference gathers the young generation of alchemists from across the mainland. The Elder just needs to send an invitation to Dragon God Palace, and our Hall Master will surely attend.”
Shangguan Yunyun asked in surprise, “Is Feng Wuchen an alchemist?”
Zhang Junlan replied with a smile, “Indeed.”
“News of the Alchemy Conference has already spread a few days ago. All major powers in Wuji Domain should already be aware, so why would you need to send an invitation?” Wang Jiuzhong asked, quite puzzled.
Since it was an Alchemy Conference and involved young alchemy talents from the entire mainland, if one wanted to participate, one could simply come to the academy to register, with no requirements at all.
“The Elder may not know, but my teacher’s alchemy realm is extremely high. He’s not interested in an ordinary Alchemy Conference. Back in Wuji Domain’s Illusion Sea Realm, he only attended Tianxianzi’s alchemy event because he was invited,” Zhang Junlan elaborated with a smile.
“Alchemy realm is extremely high? What grade is he?” Wang Jiuzhong asked curiously.
“Seventh-Grade!” both Zhang Junlan and Ye Tianwei said simultaneously.
“What? Seventh-Grade?” Upon hearing this, Wang Jiuzhong was so startled that he couldn’t help but cry out in shock, his eyes bulging.
To be so young and already step into the realm of a Seventh-Grade alchemist, how astonishingly talented must that be?
“How… how is that possible… The most talented alchemist in our academy is only Fifth-Grade, how could Feng Wuchen possibly be Seventh-Grade?” Shangguan Yunyun was completely shaken, her pretty face stiff.
“Tianxianzi’s alchemy realm is on par with mine. His joining Dragon God Palace as a Great Elder is enough to prove that Feng Wuchen is no ordinary figure,” Wang Jiuzhong thought to himself, overwhelmed with shock.
“Elder, we are pressed for time. Please fetch the Ruyi Purple Spirit Flower, as they are waiting for us to return for the treatment,” Zhang Junlan said. Having been away for too long, he guessed Feng Wuchen and the others must be worried. Zhang Junlan planned to return as soon as possible.
“Young Master Zhang, the Elder’s cold poison can’t wait too long. I hope you can act quickly,” Wang Jiuzhong urged as he took out the Ruyi Purple Spirit Flower and handed it to Zhang Junlan.
Wang Jiuzhong held Zhang Junlan in high regard and wasn’t at all worried that Zhang might deceive him to obtain the herb.
Although the Ruyi Purple Spirit Flower was extremely precious, given Zhang Junlan’s status, it was unlikely he would deceive for it. Otherwise, wouldn’t that be a loss of face for the Zhang family?
“Elder Zhang, rest assured, once the person is saved, the teacher will definitely hurry over,” Zhang Junlan guaranteed.
“If that’s the case, I can rest easy. Go and save them quickly,” Wang Jiuzhong nodded, intensely curious about Feng Wuchen’s method of completely curing the steward elder from his cold poison.
“Thank you, Elder, thank you so much!” Zhang Junlan said, bowing respectfully with fists clenched. The moment he saw the Ruyi Purple Spirit Flower, his heart burst with joy.
How difficult it was to obtain the Ruyi Purple Spirit Flower, Zhang Junlan’s thrill in that instant was beyond words.
“Fantastic! Finally got the Ruyi Purple Spirit Flower!” Lu Tianchen was overcome with excitement, his eyes slightly moistened.
For this herb, the three of them didn’t know how much trouble they had gone through.
After giving their thanks once more, the trio swiftly took to the air and sped back to Shenyin City.
Watching Zhang Junlan and his companions fly away, Shangguan Yunyun then asked, “Elder, do you really believe Feng Wuchen can completely cure the steward elder’s cold poison? That’s something even the headmaster couldn’t cure.”
Hearing this, Wang Jiuzhong smiled faintly and replied, “Zhang Junlan would not deceive me. Although I too find it hard to believe, I am very much looking forward to it. This Feng Wuchen is indeed a curious individual.”
After a pause, Wang Jiuzhong continued, “To have achieved Seventh-Grade Alchemist at such a young age, I really wonder what kind of prodigy has been nurtured.”
“That’s right, Elder, Mo Qingyun mentioned that in the Wuji Domain, others call Feng Wuchen ‘the Alchemy Emperor,'” added Shangguan Yunyun.
“What? Alchemy Emperor?” Upon hearing these words, Wang Jiuzhong’s old face instantly underwent a massive change, filled with awe, his body rigid with shock.
“Yes, the Alchemy Emperor,” Shangguan Yunyun nodded. Yet, as she saw Wang Jiuzhong’s immensely shocked expression, she guessed that the title ‘Alchemy Emperor’ was no small matter.
“How is this possible! A realm of legend! Isn’t he a Seventh-Grade Alchemist? How could he be called the Alchemy Emperor?” Wang Jiuzhong said, stunned, his expression one of disbelief as he walked towards the palace.
“Elder, Elder!” Shangguan Yunyun called out, but Wang Jiuzhong didn’t respond, seemingly dazed.
Zhang Junlan and his two companions were deliriously happy, but on their way back, they were intercepted by some people.
“Zhang Junlan, just like that, you’re leaving? Don’t you think you’re missing something?” the roadblocker asked coldly, his icy gaze fixed on Zhang Junlan.
There were three roadblockers, and from their attire, it was clear they were from the Holy Soul Academy.
By their looks, they were not there to chat with Zhang Junlan, but rather their intentions were malevolent.
“Qi Jue?” Zhang Junlan frowned slightly, recognizing the roadblocker at a glance.
“Students from the Holy Soul Academy?” Ye Tianwei said in surprise, sensing their hostile intent. Ye Tianwei’s expression became grave.
The four individuals before them were all of the Tianji Realm, and their strength was above Ye Tianwei’s, incredibly powerful indeed.
“Brother Lu, take the medicine back first,” Zhang Junlan said, handing the herb to Lu Tianchen and signaling him to take it back first.
“Young Master Zhang, how is this acceptable? They…” Lu Tianchen started worriedly.
But before he could finish, Zhang Junlan simply smiled and said, “Don’t worry, they’re just seeking revenge, they won’t kill me. They don’t have the guts to do that.”
