The Emperor of the Three Realms

chapter 138

Elder Fei who was mentioned by the two medicine officers was a very strange-looking old man. His thin body was accompanied by a strange-looking head. As a result, he looks pretty funny.    

The old man's body was slender and thin like a ginseng stem, while his head was flat like an old gourd.    

This strange combination of head and body made this old man look strange no matter how he was looked at.    

The pumpkin-like head had almost no chin, but where the chin was supposed to be, there was a very long beard.    

“Greetings for Elder Fei.” The two medicine men immediately saluted when they saw the old man.    

“People in the Northern Palace of Azure Heaven are acting even bolder.” Elder Fei was furious. “How dare they commit violence in my Qingyang Valley!”    

“Please calm your anger, Elder Fei, those idiots probably thought that Elder Fei must be inside the palace in Qingyang Valley and would not appear here. That's why they behave so badly.”    

“Mm. This explanation makes sense. But the fact that they dared to act wildly in the Qing Valley region which I mean, I, this old man, is usually still too benevolent. Sighs."    

The Qingyang Valley was also one of the secular places of the Precious Tree Sect to hold ceremonies in the Skylaurel Kingdom, and its position was equal to that of the Palace. Come to think of it, they were actually from the same faction.    

The old man's thin eyes stared to and fro over the bodies of Jiang Chen and the others. “Who are you, and why are the people from the Palace chasing you?”    

Jiang Chen knew this old man must have great strength to be able to suppress senior brother Liu with just one move. He predicted that this old man's training would not be inferior to Chu Xinghan's training of the Purple Sun Sect.    

“Senior, to be honest we are innocent. We were just on our way when the people from the Palace lost their minds and insisted on chasing us to death.”    

Elder Fei chuckled, “Isn't that an easy question to answer? The people of the Palace were the most greedy. Your spirit beast clearly has a higher level than its green wyvern. It would be a strange thing if they were not green-eyed out of jealousy.'”    

“So this is the problem. Those senior words have given me spontaneous enlightenment.” Jiang Chen was also the one who adjusted his words to the situation.    

This old man seemed to be easier to talk to than the people in the Palace, and thus Jiang Chen changed his tone to match the tone of others' speech.    

“Avoid me syllables. Although I do not like killing and robbing people, but you should be punished for trespassing into my territory.”    

“Senior, we didn't mean that, see..”    

"Omong empty. I will instantly make you fertilizer if you intend to commit an offense. How about this, I won't bother you for 20 years. You can leave Qingyang Valley after you become a medicine servant for 20 years.”    

Elder Fei reached out his hand, speaking in a tone not allowing personal considerations to affect the execution of one's public duties.    

Jiang Chen put a sad expression on his face. The actions of the Qingyang Valley were exactly as Tang Long had described earlier. They did not actually kill people, but rather made them servants of medicine for twenty years!    

Jiang Chen could not afford to stay for two years, let alone twenty years.    

Not to mention, she had already banged her chest and promised Tang Long earlier that she would bring the item back for him. He would break his promise after seven days had passed, let alone twenty years.    

However, judging from Elder Fei's posture, he didn't seem to say this just for show.    

He is bigger than his person.    

“Son, I see a shrewd look on your face. Don't try to plan anything. Even one day less than twenty years would not be enough. If you dare to run away, heh heh! Large Eggs, Second Eggs, tell them the rules.”    

“We will catch you if you run away and cut you to make fertilizer.” The two boys answered in unison.    

Jiang Chen's face was full of black lines. Comeing! I was a famous pill expert in my previous life, and now I am forced to become a medicine servant for this crazy old man? Too bad!    

“Alright senior, then we will be medicine maids. What tasks will you give us?”    

“Aokate what task?” The old man rolled his eyes. “You amateurs start by transporting water. Spend ten hours every day learning the knowledge of spirit medicine and only then can you start learning how to handle the treatment three months later.”    

“Activate water?” Jiang Chen had almost exploded.    

“What, you don't want?” The old man chuckled. “Then, transport the faeces.”    

"That's right! Pull water, right? I'll take water!” Jiang Chen gritted his teeth.    

Qiao Baishi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly gathered his courage this time. “Senior, can this junior say a few words?”    

“If you want to fart, quickly remove.” The old man was a bit impatient.    

“Senior, junior once learned the knowledge of pill medicine and has a basic knowledge of pill medicine. We have twenty people here and twenty years each. How about I stay here and be your medicine servant for four hundred years, while you let them go? What are you saying?"    

Even Jiang Chen was very surprised by Qiao Baishi's words. He knew that Qiao Baishi was loyal to him, but did not expect that he would be loyal to this extent.    

“You know about pills?” The old man was a little surprised. “You didn't lie to this old man, did you?”    

“Senior, you are the expert, how can I deceive you with this little thought? In addition, keeping a specialist like me for four hundred years of work will provide more benefits to you than keeping an amateur. They say that one year of work of a specialist is worth ten years of an amateur. Elder Fei, in the end you still benefit from this arrangement.    

“Heh heh, you are a loyal person, okay. I will consider this matter. If I find that you really have the potential for spirit medicine someday, then we will continue as you proposed.”    

"Please no! Senior, I can wait, but my young master has urgent business in the capital and he cannot afford to wait. How about you test me now?”    

Mystical Ruler Grass?    

Qiao Baishi had never even heard of this before. He wanted to show his ability, but did not know what to say.    

Jiang Chen suddenly spoke up at this moment and said, “Senior, are you looking for the Mystic Ruler Grass to refine the Peace Ruler Pill, or to refine the Profound Heavenly Pill?”    

“Mm?” The originally dim and dark old man's face suddenly changed when he heard Jiang Chen's question. His gloomy eyes emitted a streak of light that swept across Jiang Chen's face.    

“Nak, have you heard of the Peace Ruler Pill?” Elder Fei placed himself in front of Jiang Chen with quick steps and broke the magic rope on Jiang Chen's body with a squeeze of his fingers.    

“Heh heh, what a coincidence. I've really heard of it before.”    

The old man's eyes sparkled, but then he sighed in depression soon after. “So what if you've heard of it. Even this old man knows the pill recipe, but it's a pity that I can't fix it because I can't find the Mystic Ruler Grass. Everything was in vain.”    

The Peace Ruler Pill is actually an ancient recipe for calming qi as well as calming the mind. In the end, it was in the same series as the One Buddha Powder.    

Except, the Peace Ruling Pill was at a much higher level. It was much higher than the One Buddha Powder, and those in the true qi realm would not even be able to use this advanced pill.    

“Oh yes, Mystical Ruler Grass is very picky towards its environment and quite difficult to find. It was something that could only be obtained due to luck and not just looking for it.” Jiang Chen was also deliberately putting on a show right now.    

In reality, in the memories of his past life, this Mystical Ruler Grass was equivalent to a weed with his previous identity. If it grows in its garden, it will be considered a weed and plucked.    

That is, in the eyes of a god-level pill expert, the Mystic Ruler Grass was not even entitled to become a house plant and enter their private garden.    

Of course, in an ordinary kingdom, this kind of spirit herb was truly something that could only be obtained due to luck.    

“Son, don't do this with me. You heard the name of the pill somewhere and now you're putting on a show in front of me. Hold plan. Don't even think of reducing those twenty years to one day.”    

“Heh heh, I've heard a senior talk about something saying that the original ingredients for a pill like the Peace Ruler Pill are too hard to find. There are actually many pills with the same effect. He seemed to mention the 'Reformation Purity Pill' or something. It was said that the ingredients were easier to find, and had a better effect than or on par with the Peace Ruler Pill. I wonder if he is bluffing or not.”    

“Pil Purity Updates?? You.. you have also heard of the Renewal Purity Pill??” It was like a spring where a hundred blooming flowers suddenly appeared on the skinny face of the old man.    

“Of course ever, what is surprising about that?” Jiang Chen was deliberately pretending to be stupid.    

“What's a surprise?” The old man jumped on one leg. “You said what was surprising? Do you know how much I paid just to beg someone to refine one Peace Ruler Pill for me? I paid the price, but even so I still had to search for materials like Mystical Ruler Grass myself. Ancient pill recipes are all exclusive secrets, do you think this is surprising or not?”    

Jiang Chen was very happy, this meant that the old man did not even have the Peace Ruler Pill recipe.    

“If you want to call it surprising, then it's surprising. If you want to say ordinary, it is ordinary. If you know how to handle it, it won't be difficult. If you think it's hard, then you don't know how to handle it. “    

“If you know how to handle it, it won't be difficult?” The old man jumped up again and grabbed onto Jiang Chen's sleeves. “Son, show me someone who knows! If you can find someone, I'll be willing to pay whatever the price.”    

“I would love to find someone, but how can I look for it if I am stuck here for twenty years?” Jiang Chen chuckled, knowing that this old man had taken the bait, hook, fishing line, and ballast.    

“Don't give me stupid shit like this.” The old man waved his hand. “If you can find me someone who knows the Renewal Purity Pill, then you will be my senior. I will bow down to you and even call you dear father. Twenty years? It doesn't matter if I'm your medicine man for twenty years.”    

“You mean it?” Jiang Chen was secretly pleased that this old man had come knocking on the door.    

“Dumb question. Does this old man look like the one who made the irresponsible statement?”    

“No, you don't look like that.” Jiang Chen shook his head.    

The old man's little eyes were spinning wildly. He originally thought that Jiang Chen was just nonsense, but now he seemed to have gained a bit of truth as he listened. This kid seems to know what he's talking about?    

Many parents had spent nearly twenty to thirty years of effort on the Peace Ruler Pill and had worked hard for it.    

He had tried everything, but in the end it always ended up empty-handed.    

Even if the slightest chance from Jiang Chen sounded so unrealistic, he was still tempted. After all, this matter had become one of his internal matters.    

“Nak, think carefully, do not think to try any tricks with this old man! If I find out that you covered my eyes and want to take advantage to escape, you will know the consequences! The old man tried hard to keep a firm face and showed a cruel demeanor, wanting to use this to amaze Jiang Chen.    

“Elder Fei, your strength and abilities exceed mine. I guess I can't do any tricks in front of you? Even though your eyes are small, they are very sharp! Do you think I don't know? You look like a typical person who is very wise and deliberately looks stupid.” Jiang Chen started to like it.    

“Heh heh, have you even seen this? And it turns out I spent so much effort hiding it.” The old man puffed his chest while stroking his beard, obeying admiration for himself. “Son, since you have no tricks, tell me, does someone really understand the Renewal Purity Pill in our Skylaurel Kingdom?”    

“This has nothing to do with the Skylaurel Kingdom, but I am a good friend that I have had since childhood. It is he who knows. He shows up every three or five years and I can always hear a lot about pill medicines from him every time he shows up.”    

"Oh? There are people so amazing?” Elder Fei was somewhat skeptical.    

“Yes, to be honest, this time I headed to the capital of Skylaurel Kingdom because I heard that his parents would take care of some affairs in Skylaurel Kingdom. This is why I came in a hurry to pay homage to him.”    

“Could there be such a coincidence?” The old man was getting confused.
