I Have Medicine Chapter 131

Because Cang Yu and the others had a rather good relations.h.i.+p with Kang Wenhong, their dwelling was effortlessly moved by Kang Wenhong to a courtyard adjacent to the Lofty Sword Courtyard.

Due to all kinds of reasons, many martial artists had recently been staying in Kang Wenhong's courtyard. If there was any information, it was all concentrated within Lofty Sword Courtyard.

After Gongyi Tianheng and company arrived, they directly knocked on the door: "Senior Sect Brother Kang, Brother Cang Yu, are you there?"

There was a prompt response from inside. Cang Yu opened the door. His handsomeness and determination couldn't conceal his anxiety and deep concern: "Brother Tianheng has already come out from the Lesser Martial PaG.o.da? Come in, come in."

Tianheng smilingly consoled: "Don't worry, Brother Cang Yu. Can you see who I've brought for you?"

Cang Yu stared, and turned his head to look.

He then saw that behind Tianheng was a heroic and charming woman who walked over while supporting a tender and beautiful young lady.

That young lady's jade-like appearance was pale, but at this moment, it flushed with a bit of red: "Imperial brother…"

Cang Yu held his breath. Short thereafter, he exulted: "Imperial sister! Yaomin! You've returned? You were—" He looked at Gongyi Tianheng and his mind already had a few guesses.

Princess Yaomin was also a stalwart woman. She hastily said: "Imperial brother still hasn't invited our benefactors in for a seat?"

Cang Yu was incredibly happy and couldn't help slapping his forehead: "Right! Quickly come in! Everyone, quickly come in!"

While speaking, he ushered Tianheng, Rui Min, and a crowd of enforcement disciples inside. At this moment, he intended to observe the uniforms of everyone and saw that what they wore stood out from the ma.s.ses. It resembled what an outer sect enforcement disciple would wear, but it seemed even more solemn and serene. There were many thoughts going through his mind — Like shooting stars, they'd flash across and vanish.

In the courtyard, Kang Wenhong stepped out. The first one he saw was Princess Yaomin. He wanted to say something, but with so many people around, not one word could be spoken.

Afterwards, his attention fell on Rui Min and the others, and he said with sincere courtesy: "Many thanks to the Enforcement Hall's Senior Sect Brothers and Sisters for your help… This lowly Kang Wenhong can't thank you all enough."

At this time, someone scrambled to offer fragrant teas. After Rui Min and the other enforcement disciples drank a cup, they promptly said their goodbyes and left. Unexpectedly, they didn't stay here for longer than ten minutes.

Because Tianheng knew that Cang Yu and the others desperately wanted to know the whole sequence of events, he remained behind. However, prior to Rui Min and the others leaving, he firmly pa.s.sed along his thanks to all of them.

Rui Min knew that Gongyi Tianheng and Zhao Yuheng were friends, so she wasn't pretentious and simply nodded.

The group arrived in a hurry and left in a hurry.

As for Princess Yaomin, it was the feeling of being in one's personal h.e.l.l and returning to the human world.

Princess Yaomin was brought back to a room to rest by Cang Yu. Meanwhile, Tianheng had already sat down and was chatting with Kang Wenhong who sat across.

Because Princess Yaomin was saved, the melancholy in the pit of Kang Wenhong's stomach had dissipated. His current curiosity couldn't be constrained any longer: "Junior Sect Brother Gongyi, many thanks for your help."

This was his way of sounding things out.

If the relations.h.i.+p with Tianheng over this matter wasn't significant, he certainly wouldn't have recognize it. Yet, if he did…

Tianheng smiled: "As fellow countrymen of the Cangyun Empire, we should watch over and help one another."

If he helped someone else, that person would realize that hiding it wouldn't be to his benefit.

Kang Wenhong held his breath.

Sure enough, it was recognition!

It's no wonder that—

He then explained that Mingyue Pavilion had been involved with the people of the Disciplinary Hall by Duanshui Hall long ago. It was impossible to have friendly relations with characters like that enforcement squad deputy leader. It could clearly be seen that Rui Min's arrival had nothing to do with Mingyue Pavilion.

However, he also never expected that, while asking them about this hard-pressed matter, the previously underestimated Gongyi Tianheng was able to resolve it… He didn't know how much strength the other used, but he would remember this friends.h.i.+p.

Thinking up to here, Kang Wenhong couldn't help secretly sighing.

Originally, he had already owed the other party a favor. Now, he owed another favor.

He also didn't know how he'd repay him in the future.

At this moment, Cang Yu had helped Princess Yaomin settle down, and walked out.

Tianheng didn't keep them in suspense and spoke about the matters of him becoming an inner sect disciple, and how he once saved Xun Suying and the others, which gave him access to Zhao Yuheng. However, he didn't recount the matters of the medicinal pill business, the transactions, the probing, nor the current friends.h.i.+p.

Cang Yu listened and his eyes flashed with a complicated feeling. He sighed again and said: "This time is all thanks to you, Brother Tianheng."

Tianheng raised his cup: "Don't mention it."

Kang Wenhong and the others heard Tianheng's words as well as the things that went unsaid, but what did that have to do with anything? Who among them were without their own secrets?

Currently, everyone's relations.h.i.+ps were pretty good. With the continued friends.h.i.+p of Gongyi Tianheng, knowing this was good enough.

Only, those from the Cangyun Empire were split into three groups.

That Huangfu Zhanghao, whom they still haven't have any news of, was one group. Gongyi Tianheng, who already saved up some power, was one group. And Cang Yu, who was headed by and was inseparable from Mingyue Pavilion, was another group.

They might have intersections in the future, or they might not.

However, at least for now, the camaraderie of having same homeland still existed between each another.

After receiving Tianheng as a guest, Cang Yu and the others who'd yet to repay their debts sent him on his way.

Following that, Kang Wenhong raised his head and sighed: "It's time to enter the inner sect."

Cang Yu brushed away the distractions in his heart and looked over: "Senior Sect Brother Kang's meaning is…"

Kang Wenhong said: "You Jiong has already entered the inner sect. If I'm still in the outer sect, it'll certainly be easy to be captured by him as an excuse to toy with me. It's only once I've also entered the inner sect that I can fight on the same level and pressure him."

Cang Yu's sword-like eyebrows creased: "Could it be harmful to Senior Sect Brother Kang?"

Kang Wenhong shook his head and said: "I've been suppressing my realm for a long time to be well-prepared and to liberate my potential after breaking through. I should enter the inner sect within a few months. Breaking through now won't be premature and it won't cause harm."

Cang Yu set aside his worries.

As for Kang Wenhong, when he spoke up to here, his tone had some hesitation: "Only…"

Cang Yu was doubtful: "What?"

Kang Wenhong's handsome face reddened like he was embarra.s.sed: "It's only that I wanted to bring Junior Sect Sister Yaomin with me to the inner sect."

Cang Yu stared blankly.

Bringing his imperial sister?

Kang Wenhong resolutely said: "I can ask people to teach Junior Sect Sister Yaomin to let her make the fastest progress. Once she can become a certified pharmacist, she can directly become an inner sect Pharmacist Hall disciple. There'll be lots of benefits for her. If she's in the outer sect, I'll have a hard time getting resources for her."

Actually, in the Qingyun Sect, nominal disciples were those who attached themselves to other disciples. Contrarily, they could follow their disciples and enter the outer or inner sects. They'd merely have the lowest positions. There were also times when some relatively strong martial artists acted as other disciples' bodyguards and got nominal disciple tokens. In fact, it was the same as being guests of that disciple.

Consider the current Princess Yaomin. She was a nominal disciple who was subordinate to Cang Yu. If Cang Yu entered the inner sect, she could follow. But if Cang Yu didn't go, then she could only wait in the outer sect. Unless she herself became an inner sect disciple. However, if Cang Yu pa.s.sed her onto Kang Wenhong, she would naturally become Kang Wenhong's subordinate and go with him into the inner sect.

Cang Yu became silent.

In the sect, even a country's prince could still only cautiously struggle and survive.

He knew about Kang Wenhong's intentions toward his imperial sister, and he could also see that the other was truly sincere. As for his imperial sister's prospects, if she wasn't trapped in the outer sect for a long time, she really could reach… As for himself, if he wanted to break through to the Xiantian Realm normally and become an inner sect disciple, he would need at least several months to even a year or more.

But they were pressed for time. Everyone was hard at work practicing martial arts. How long could his imperial sister endure the wait? A woman with the apt.i.tudes of a pharmacist but without the ability to protect herself; one whose looks were exceptionally good… No matter how careful he was, he was still worried about mistakes happening.

Since they needed to find a reliable person to protect his imperial sister sooner or later, it was better to accept Kang Wenhog at this moment.

This Kang Wenhong was also currently the most genuine and the most reliable choice.

Cang Yu slowly exhaled: "Then, I'll have to thank Senior Sect Brother Kang for the trouble."

Kang Wenhong's appearance immediately blossomed with joy.

Cang Yu smiled, but didn't say anything.

Although he said this, he'd hoped even more that the person who would protect his imperial sister would be Gongyi Tianheng… Yet, Tianheng seemed to already have a pharmacist he wanted to protect. He also seemed to lack any feelings of admiration for his imperial sister.

Gongyi Tianheng returned to the inner sect valley. Because matters were all settled, he felt his body relax.

In the valley, several enslaved martial artists were all bustling around. Dragon One was in charge of supervising them, and Gu Zuo was still cooped up in the medicine refining room, refining medicine to his heart's content.

Tianheng didn't go to disturb them. He only picked a place that was flat and wide, and moved his Xiantian true qi as he initiated all kinds of martial skills that he practiced previously.

In every one of his movements, it seemed like a mighty force of heaven and earth was being faintly drawn down and integrated into the strike's qi energy. An earth-shattering power burst forth.

As Tianheng struck with his fists, he looked pensive.

That bit of power was a little different than ambient qi. It seemed it could…

For a short while, he unexpectedly wasn't able to fully understand how it worked.

However, if he knew what that mighty power was, if he could absorb it like the poison from before, could it be taken into his other bone pearls and transformed into another kind of power?

Gongyi Tianheng's martial skills rapidly changed. The strikes made impressive air-breaking sounds.

Still no good. He needed an opportunity… Suddenly, he thrust out a palm!

At this moment, black qi acc.u.mulated within the energy of his palm. At the same time he struck out, the originally colorless power astonis.h.i.+ngly transformed into a dull black colored palm print. It smashed into the ground, corroding that large chunk of land into a hand-shaped hole that was big enough to hold water.

What a strange power!

Tianheng looked at his own palm; it was still l.u.s.trously white as jade. No one would've been able to find the kind of energy that just came from this palm.

Just as he pondered, the medicine refining room's door opened and Gu Zuo walked out.

Gongyi Tianheng immediately snapped out of it.

Under normal circ.u.mstances, his little pharmacist would act this way if he made progress in medicine refinement and wanted to present a treasure. This time probably wouldn't be an exception.

And every time it was like this, he would always patiently listen.

Sure enough, Gu Zuo really came out again to show off.

Because Dragon One and Dragon Two were competent, the medicinal herbs they usually used were always adequately stocked. So long as there was an opportunity, a couple rare ones that were needed would always be gathered up. As a result, when Gu Zuo was refining medicine, aside from a small number of pill types, he usually didn't worry too much about a lack of supplies.

At this time, the stuff Gu Zuo wanted to present were two things.

He directly handed over the first item to Dragon Two. It was a very large jug that was completely filled with liquid: "The Spirit Jade Vitality Decoction has already been successfully made. Dragon Two, go give it try."

Dragon Two accepted the order and left.

Gu Zuo, who was still in the back, blurted out: "After sprinkling it, quickly return. We still have something to do!"

Dragon Two's footsteps didn't stop: "…Dragon Two understands."

After that, Gu Zuo looked at Tianheng, revealing his palm: "The Xiantian Pills have been refined."

Unfamiliar at first, but well accustomed soon enough — This time's Xiantian Pill, which used Gongyi Tianheng's blood for refining, directly became a top grade Xiantian Pill. En, although it was still brown-colored, it was l.u.s.trous and very plump. The qi energy it emitted was also very peculiar. It was like it could attract a person's soul, containing extraordinary mysteries within.

Tianheng looked at this Xiantian Pill. His heart was a little curious and antic.i.p.atory.

This kind of Xiantian Pill should be able to completely change a person into his believer who'd wholeheartedly serve him. However, as he'd already broken through to the Xiantian Realm, was there anything else special about it besides this?

There must be differences with the Tiandu Body, which was physically Xiantian at birth…

After composing himself, Gongyi Tianheng raised a hand and beckoned Dragon One and Dragon Two over.

At this moment, because Dragon Two was still using the Spirit Jade Vitality Decoction to irrigate the crippled field, Dragon One fiercely restrained the emotions in his heart and held his breath as he took the Xiantian Pill from Tianheng's hand: "Many thanks to the young master for bestowing this pill to Dragon One!"

Gongyi Tianheng lightly sighed: "Swallow it."

Dragon One closed his eyes, and put that medicinal pill in his mouth.

In a split second, a surging medicinal force swept through his whole body!

Gu Zuo nervously observed Dragon One.

This wasn't the first time he'd seen someone break through, but Dragon One was the first Tianlong Guard he got to know after acquainting himself with his dear big brother. Since a long time had pa.s.sed since he was considered one of their own, his deep concern was naturally different than what he had for others.

He truly hoped that this Xiantian Pill could let Dragon One grow to even greater heights…

Dragon One's willpower was stalwart and his temperament was unwavering. He was able to distinguish himself from countless orphans and become Tianheng's Tianlong Guard. He experienced many torments that ordinary people never went through, and even a few infuriating tribulations. But he endured. Moreover, if things went smoothly, then he could follow Tianheng as he soared into the sky!

As a result, he grit his teeth and endured! No matter how the medicinal power collided in his body, his throat didn't utter a single sound. Because if he didn't give up — He could succeed in the end!

In fact, he really did succeed.

After a large amount of white smoke rose from the top of his head, the Xiantian wall was broken. Dragon One smoothly connected to the will of the martial path and successfully advanced to become a Xiantian martial artist!

This should have been the end of it. Dragon One's scrunched-up look became serene.

Yet suddenly, his expression quickly changed, and his face showed a feeling of intense surprise.

Gu Zuo's heart tightened.

Could it be —

However, in the end, it was Gu Zuo overthinking it. Dragon One was amazed, but he was only amazed. There weren't any harmful reactions in his body.

Following this, Dragon One opened his eyes and a glimmering streak flashed within them.

Dragon One clenched his hand and felt the power flowing through his fingers. It was formidable and novel.

However, he quickly constrained his desire to continue exploring because he still had another more important matter. He needed to report to his dear young master.

Dragon One lifted his eyes and saw those enslaved martial artists who were still bustling around, and his face showed some hesitation.

Gongyi Tianheng raised an eyebrow: "Qian Hu, Liu Bao. You guys leave the valley and guard the entrance!"

Those enslaved martial artists heard this and were somewhat saddened.

Even though they were already under control, they still hadn't received his complete trust… For them, who've already pledged their allegiance, this was rather uncomfortable in their hearts.

Merely, they still needed to obey their orders and do it.

Hence, these people all left the valley. In the valley itself, those who remained were the pharmacists competing with their pill cauldrons in the deepest parts of the relatively distant caves and these four people who went straight in.

Dragon One took a deep breath: "Young master, after taking the Xiantian Pill, another set of bone pearls appeared within this subordinate's body."

These words were spoken. Let alone Dragon Two who'd just returned, even Gongyi Tianheng was amazed.

Tianheng's brows furrowed: "You're saying…"

Dragon One respectfully said: "Just so. In the beginning, the Xiantian Pill's medicinal power only let this subordinate break through. This one's mind comprehended the mysteries of the martial path, seizing that sliver of its profound theories. This one didn't notice as the medicinal power pa.s.sed by, but after entering Xiantian, this subordinate detected that the surge of medicinal power was bundled with an unyielding force that battered many of this subordinate's acupoints and rapidly condensed bone pearls within them.

He continued: "After counting, there are one hundred and eight bone pearls. Compared to the major set of bone pearls, the number of one hundred and eight Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Bone Pearls is actually more perfect. It's just that the acupoint locations of these bone pearls aren't very important. They're merely a set of auxiliary bone pearls and should have a supplementary function… I think."

When he spoke near the end, Dragon One's tone was also a little unconvinced.

It was because this situation was really too strange and there basically wasn't any precedent to follow — Naturally, due to the long length of time Dragon One spent with the young master, he gradually realized that his young master condensed bone pearls differently than other people. He once heard that there should be six sets of bone pearls in the young master. Now that he had two sets, with his perception to other strange phenomena, he seemed to detect that his own power was much stronger than what it should've been when he reached Xiantian.

Gu Zuo was the one who was the most surprised.

Ah, he never expected that the blood of his dear big brother after breaking through to Xiantian would give Dragon One a mutation directly. What did this extra set of bone pearls signify? Was it a coincidence that this pill had this uniqueness or was every pill like this? Strange, too strange…

After that, Gu Zuo's gaze unwittingly fell upon Dragon Two's body.

In that case, how did Dragon Two feel about it?

Presently, Dragon Two's eyes also flashed with a trace of fanaticism: "Young master, please let this subordinate try, too!"

Tianheng slightly murmured: "Alright."

Immediately following that, Dragon Two also took a Xiantian Pill and swallowed it without the slightest hesitation!

Once more, Gu Zuo nervously observed Dragon Two.

There were almost no differences between Dragon Two's reactions and Dragon One's. There also wasn't anything different compared to the previous couple of people. However, at the final juncture, Dragon Two seemed to checked his body's situation. Soon after, his face showed an ecstatic expression: "Young master, this subordinate has condensed a second set of bone pearls as well!"

Gu Zuo suddenly understood.

It looked like this mutation was a unique one.

Each of these methods to become Xiantian all could grant a second set of bone pearls…

In the end, was this good or bad?

Dragon One and Dragon Two were both very satisfied.

From the bottom of their hearts, they could sense the allegiance to their young master flowing through their blood vessels. They could also sense the kins.h.i.+p and fondness to their young master through their blood. Just like a cub to its sire, they could feel both reverence and the inability to disobey — This made them incomparably happy.

It could be previously said that, although they followed the young master, they still felt that they might be left behind if they were unable to keep up. Their hearts weren't steadfast enough. Now, however, they felt an extremely intense sense of belonging. In the future, even if they really weren't able to chase after him, they both felt at ease.

As for Gu Zuo, who refined this type of Xiantian Pill, the two Tianlong Guards were incredibly grateful to him. They somewhat understood Gu Zuo, and the moment they saw his furrowed brows, they deferentially said: "Pharmacist Gu, we feel that this change really isn't a bad thing. Some day, it may still give us some benefits."

Gu Zuo's brows loosened: "I'll be watching carefully… Let me examine you guys often in the future."

Dragon One and Dragon Two naturally consented readily.

At this moment, Gongyi Tianheng, who'd been pondering for a long time, opened his mouth again: "One set of bone pearls…can perhaps hold one type of exotic power."

Gu Zuo and the others heard this and uniformly looked over to him.

The edge of Tianheng's lips had a smile: "During my previous opportunity, I coincidentally absorbed poison. After reaching a certain degree, I smoothly broke through to Xiantian and could shoot poisoned qi to injure enemies. As for the other five sets of bone pearls, there hadn't been any changes and they didn't receive any interference…

He continued: "When I practiced today, I sensed many kinds of exotic forces between heaven and earth. Thus, I believe that if I can seize another opportunity, those mighty forces can be distinguished and absorbed into another set of bone pearls. Perhaps a new power can be grasped by me?"

This was speculation, but it definitely wasn't without reason.

Gu Zuo also reflected over this.

Poison was a kind of power. That set of incomplete bone pearls should've been the gentlest and most ordinary power. Was the Tiandu Body unique in that ordinary people could only make use of one type of power while he could use five more? Or, did his big brother have this subconsciously, which gave rise to this change spontaneously?

For a moment, he was unable to think things through.

But after time had pa.s.sed, they could check once his big brother tried again.

And what Gu Zuo was currently thinking about was that Dragon One and Dragon Two having a second set of bone pearls was equivalent to increasing their potential. As such, this Xiantian Pill was too peculiar, and they couldn't let other people know… He also thought, if his brother reached the Immortal Realm, would a Xiantian Pill refined from his blood…

Pop.

After that sharp and clear noise, Gu Zuo forced a smile.

Truly confusing! How could an Immortal Realm's blood be refined into a Xiantian Pill?! The prescription was all wrong… Right?

T/N: For those who haven't been paying attention to the word length, all the recent chapters are double-length. This is why my translation speed has dropped to one chapter a week. Chapters 125 to 137 are all double-length, so we're halfway through the batch. After that, I should be able to return to faster updates.
