Unrivaled Medicine God, page 730
Coincidentally, Fan Yu also entered the Fiend Medicine Hall at this time.
Seeing Ka Xin and Lian Hua, Fan Yu’s heart thumped, secretly thinking not good.
The Fiend Medicine Hall released a batch of medicinal pills recently. They were in very high demand now. Quite a few factions went into action without delay.
Among these, the one with the strongest competitive power was naturally the City Lord Manor.
Although the alchemy strength of Meng Qi and the rest were too trash in front of Ye Yuan, the medicinal pills produced by the Fiend Medicine Hall were indeed very popular in Capone Capital City.
In the fiend race, good Fiend Apothecaries were too few.
The City Lord Manor had long gotten the news. Hence, Ka Xin made an appointment with Meng Qi ten days ago to meet today.
Ka Xin had a smile on his face as he said, “Heh, Brother Fan Yu came a step late. Lord Meng Qi isn’t meeting guests today, better go back.”
Fan Yu’s expression was somewhat ugly as he said with a cold snort, “Your City Lord Manor eating meat, aren’t you even going to leave a mouthful of soup for people to drink? This time, our Fan Family will definitely fight it out with you!”
Ka Xin laughed and said, “Heh, I’m about to go in and finalize this matter with Lord Meng Qi right away, what will you use to fight to the bitter end with me? Haha, want to fight it out, come early next time.”
The muscles on Fan Yu’s face twitched a few times, suddenly feeling powerless.
The four great families’ foundations were still much worse compared to the City Lord Manor!
People had money and power. Each time the price offered, it was 30% higher than the rest. How to discuss things?
At this time, Le He came out of the inner-hall, the expression on his face rather ugly.
When Ka Xin saw Lu He’s expression, his heart involuntarily thumped.
“Brother Lu He, what did Lord Meng Qi say?” Ka Xin said with clasped hands.
Lu He said crossly, “Your Highness Ka Xin, please return! I asked you to go back, but you insisted on me going to disturb Master! Now, just great. I got a good scolding from him right to my face, are you happy?”
Clearly, Lu He was already unable to maintain his original demeanor.
This scolding was not light!
Just now, the moment he entered and just reported Ka Xin’s name, he was scolded angrily by Meng Qi. Even expelling from tutelage, this kind of words, was uttered.
It would be weird if Lu He’s mood could be good!
Ka Xin had an awkward look. Stuffing a storage ring into Lu He’s hands, he said, “Here are 50 thousand low-grade fiend essence stones, just take it as Brother Lu He’s laboring fees. Since Lord Meng Qi is meeting an important guest, then Ka Xin won’t disturb anymore. I’ll come to visit again another day.”
Who knew that Lu He directly pushed the storage ring back and said, “Just now, Master was already very angry and even said expelling me from tutelage, this kind of words! Aren’t you making me take the road to ruin here? Quickly go, quickly go!”
Ka Xin was extremely depressed. He did not know just what kind of important guest Meng Qi was meeting.
Even meeting City Lord, it would not be to an extent where he expelled his own disciple from his tutelage for relaying a message, right?
Moreover, he did not hear of any remarkable major figure who came to the city recently!
Later, better inquire about it, and make some appropriate compensation.
If he were to offend the Fiend Medicine Hall because of this matter, the losses would outweigh the gains.
Getting rebuffed, Ka Xin had an unhappy look too.
He glimpsed at the Fan Yu who was unwilling to give up by the side, and he said indifferently, “Come on, didn’t hear that Lord Meng Qi is currently meeting an important guest? Could it be that you want to cause Brother Lu He to be scolded one more time?”
These words had somewhat of an ulterior motive. It was clearly to irritate Lu He!
Lu He was in a bad mood just now and directly ignored the Fan Yu by the side.
Only after Ka Xin saying this did he notice that Fan Yu had already stood at one side for very long.
Lu He took care of many things for Meng Qi throughout the year and was also a smooth and artful figure.
When he saw Fan Yu, his eyes immediately lit up and he went forward to greet with a smile: “Turns out that Young Master Fan Yu came too. Apologies, apologies, Lu He did not entertain well.”
Those words of Ka Xin’s just now actually already made Fan Yu give up.
He did not expect that Lu He actually took the initiative to engage in small talk with him.
One had to know, he did not even give face to Ka Xin earlier!
“What’s Brother Lu He saying? It’s Fan Yu who suddenly paid a visit and imposed on you,” Fan Yu hurriedly said.
Lu He smiled and said, “Young Master Fan Yu coming to the Fiend Medicine Hall, it’s also in order to request an audience with Master, right?”
Fan Yu was slightly embarrassed, but still nodded his head and said, “Fan Yu will leave right away and won’t cause trouble for Brother Lu He anymore.”
Lu He was taken aback with fright and hurriedly pulled him, saying, “Don’t! Already came, leaving for what? I’ll go in to report right away, you wait a minute.”
Done talking, Lu He directly turned around and left.
Ka Xin already walked to the entrance, but forcefully stopped his footsteps.
He looked at Lu He’s departing back view, enraged until his complexion was livid!
What the hell was this?
Since the beginning to end, Lu He never showed him a good attitude.
Even if he agreed to go in and report just now, it was also with a reluctant look.
But now, Fan Yu himself said that he was going to leave, but Lu He took the initiative to hang onto Fan Yu and not let him leave. Lu He even took the initiative to go in and report!
Didn’t he say earlier that Meng Qi even said about expelling from tutelage, this kind of words?
Fan Yu himself also had a baffled look, completely not knowing what happened.
His relationship with Lu He did not seem to be good to this kind of extent, right?
Before long, Lu He came out gleefully and said to Fan Yu, “Master said, let Young Master Fan Yu wait in the side-hall for a while. When he’s done over at his side, he’ll immediately come and see you!”
Happiness arrived too suddenly. Fan Yu completely did not react to it.
What happened?
By the side, Ka Xin’s expression was long already black as the bottom of a wok.
Chapter 1490. Double Standards |
“Brother Lu He, what’s this? Didn’t you say that Lord Meng Qi isn’t seeing anyone?”
Ka Xin tried his best to make his tone seem calmer, covering up the rage in his heart.
This double standard was also a little too obvious, right?
He had not even left yet!
Lu He’s brows furrowed and he said unhappily, “Mn? Your meaning is that I’m lying to you? Why not do this then? After Master comes out, we’ll confront face-to-face?”
Although Ka Xin tried his best to control his tone, the skepticism in his words could not be concealed no matter what.
Lu He’s anger rose up with a puff.
He helped him go in to report. Putting aside that he did not get any benefits, he was even scolded angrily by Master.
Meng Qi did not have just him, one disciple, alone. A single misstep and he fell out of favor, there would be nothing to do with him in the future.
Forget it if Ka Xin was not grateful, he even wanted to question him.
Even a clay bodhisattva had some anger. Lu He finally stopped showing Ka Xin a nice attitude.
Ka Xin said with an awkward look, “Brother Lu He misunderstood. I …”
Lu He directly cut off his words and said with a cold smile, “I didn’t misunderstand anything! The matter previously, just take it as it didn’t happen. Consider it myself being opinionated. Just treat it as I was careless in making friends. Your Highness Ka Xin, please go back!”
Ka Xin’s expression changed, knowing that this was offending Lu He to the core.
He stood there, unable to leave nor stay.
Lu He said in a cold voice, “Why? Your Highness is not leaving? Could it be that you still want me to send Your Highness out?”
Ka Xin finally left dejectedly. But the grievance nursed in his heart, no one could understand.
With his status and standing, when had he been subjected to this kind of treatment in Capone Capital City before?
The more he thought, the more amiss it felt, and he said in a solemn voice, “There must be something wrong with this! How can the Fan Family and Fiend Medicine Hall’s relationship possibly compare to ours? Today’s incident is too abnormal, I must investigate clearly who Meng Qi was meeting!”
…
Fan Yu followed Lu He to the side-hall with a blank look. Pushing the door and taking a look, he saw an all too familiar figure.
“Li Ji? Why are you here?!” Fan Yu said in surprise.
“Eh? You came too? I … I was accompanying Source Night to stroll around in the city. He said to come to the Fiend Medicine Hall to take a look and I followed.” Li Ji said with a slightly red face.
“Came with Source Night? Where is he?” Fan Yu said with a dark expression.
This punk, his younger sister accompanied to come out, but he was good, hanging his younger sister out here alone to dry.
But a glimmer of smugness flashed across in Li Ji’s eyes as she said with a smile, “He’s currently chatting with Grandpa Meng Qi! This chat lasted three days and three nights!”
“What?!” Fan Yu nearly jumped up, being taken aback with fright by Li Ji’s sentence.
He turned his head and looked at Lu He, and said with his eyes wide-open, “Brother Lu He, the important guest that you said wouldn’t be Source Night, right?”
Lu He beamed and said, “Who else can it be if not him? Heh, your Fan Family really remained deeply hidden, to have actually invited this kind of big shot and still maintaining your countenance.”
Fan Yu said with a confused look, “B-Big shot?”
Source Night’s strength was indeed not bad, but to say big shot, it was a little too far-fetched, right?
What in the world … happened in-between this?
Lu He even thought that Fan Yu knew. But looking at it now, he was really kept in a dark.
Li Ji said with a proud face, “Big Brother, I only knew that Source Night was actually even a Fiend Apothecary when I saw Source Night refining pills too! Furthermore, it’s the very formidable kind …”
Li Ji described the events that happened previously with a look of excitement, making Fan Yu dumbfounded with shock.
His first reaction was, was this Source Night really that Source Night he knew?
Source Night’s age seemed to be even quite a bit younger than him. How could he possibly be a fiend apothecary that even Lord Meng Qi looked up to?
But Li Ji was here, who could that be if not that Source Night?
He originally thought that Meng Qi was meeting some remarkable important person, that was why he would not even give face to Ka Xin.
He did not expect that it was actually Source Night!
No wonder, oh, no wonder!
That excitement when Lu He saw him, turned out that it was because of Source Night!
What kind of character was Fan Yu? He practically reacted to it right away. Lu He being extra familiar with him was treating him as a straw to clutch at.
Previously, because of helping Ka Xin to pass a message, he offended Meng Qi.
But he was Li Ji’s elder brother. Li Ji and Source Night’s relationship was very ambiguous. Meng Qi naturally regarded him as someone very close to Source Night.
This … Why did it feel like a dream?
…
A full three days had already passed since the Fiend Medicine Hall’s five elders listened to Ye Yuan’s sermon on Dao.
These three day’s time, Meng Qi five people listened like they were in ecstasy and enrapture.
They had never known that pill refining still had so many tricks involved!
Especially when Ye Yuan performed a skill to focus on pill refinement, they used all kinds of methods and also could not distract Ye Yuan in the slightest.
Finally, Ye Yuan still refined a high-level medicinal pill, making them marvel in astonishment.
Only then did they know why Ye Yuan would say that they were weak previously.
They could not even accomplish the most basic focusing, let alone talk about refining high-level medicinal pills.
Ye Yuan also knew that the fiend race’s disposition was hot-tempered. Most were frank without tact. Making him focus on pill refinement was indeed making things a little hard.
But, where there was a will, there was a way. Meng Qi they all failing to do so was primarily still because their method was not right.
Ye Yuan casually imparted some spirit calming and mind focusing spells to them. These old fellows were all akin to having obtained a priceless treasure, endlessly grateful towards Ye Yuan.
Meng Qi was currently in high spirits when Lu He came in and said that Ka Xin was looking for him. How could he not be furious?
Compared to advancing his own alchemy strength, what the hell did Ka Xin count as?!
Suddenly, Ye Yuan seemed to have thought of something and said, “Oh, right, talking nonsense with you all these few days, forgot all about proper business.”
The five elders were rendered speechless. How did this transmission and preaching of Dao become talking nonsense?
Except, the things that Ye Yuan narrated to them were really not that profound.
Similar to focusing, it was alchemists’ basic skills, the five elders all could not do it.
For them to be able to refine complete medicinal pills could not be said to not be a kind of miracle.
Of course, even though Ye Yuan turned his nose up at the five elders’ pill refinement, he could not underestimate fiend apothecaries either.
The fiend race’s alchemy skills also had quite a few saving graces.
“I wonder what the proper business Master Source Night said is? Meng Qi will send people to go and do it right away! I beseech Master Source Night to be generous and preach Dao to us for a few more days!”
Meng Qi was incomparably respectful towards Ye Yuan now. Ye Yuan’s alchemy standard was an existence that he could not look up to at all.
He even felt that those few Three-star fiend apothecaries in the city could not compare to a fraction of Master Source Night too!
Even though they could refine Three-star medicinal pills.
But Ye Yuan said, “Preaching Dao will end here first. Coming to the Fiend Medicine Hall, I just wanted to purchase a few kinds of spirit medicines. In addition, I still have some matters and want to take a trip to the Hundred Knows Hall. You all can’t do it on my behalf.”
The moment Meng Qi said, he hurriedly said, “Isn’t Master Source Night smacking Meng Qi’s face by saying this? Just a few kinds of spirit medicines, what’s there to buy? As long as the Fiend Medicine Hall has it, feel free to take it! If there isn’t, the Fiend Medicine Hall still has the confidence in acquiring it within a short time! As for the Hundred Knows Hall that side, their door isn’t easy to enter. How about this, you take my Blood Yama Token and go. Those guys won’t cause problems for Master!”
Chapter 1491. Grudge Is Sowed Big Time |
The types of spirit medicines for the Second Transformation Profound Gold Pill were seldom-seen, but the Fiend Medicine Hall’s strength was really not for show.
Meng Qi told Ye Yuan that within half a month, he would help him gather all of the spirit medicines.
Meng Qi’s thoughts, Ye Yuan naturally took it into his sights. He also promised Meng Qi that half a month later, he would come again and preach the Dao to them.
Done with these, Ye Yuan went out of the door alone.
Although Li Ji was reluctant to stay behind, she was helpless to do anything too.
Ye Yuan going to the Hundred Knows Hall to inquire about information, she had nowhere to go and could only stay in the Fiend Medicine Hall.
Li Ji was no longer a little girl in Meng Qi’s eyes now.
What did she say? That Source Night was her man?
This relationship, how could he not make good use of it?
What was the most powerful?
Not a man’s fist, but a woman’s pillow talk!
As for the matter of that batch of medicinal pills, it was even more of a cinch.
Meng Qi made the decision and directly half-sold half-gifted them to the Fan Family, absolutely being a friendship price.
Happiness came too suddenly, Fan Yu was somewhat at a loss on what to do.
The Fiend Medicine Hall’s medicinal pills were in very short supply. Even the City Lord Manor had to pay a huge price to get it too.
Another batch of medicinal pills to a family’s strength was rather significant.
To Ye Yuan, Fan Yu was grateful from the bottom of his heart. He wished to send Li Ji onto Ye Yuan’s bed right away.
Coming out of the Fiend Medicine Hall, Ye Yuan’s alarm bells went off!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh …
The sounds of tearing through the air came over. Several streaks of cold light flew over towards Ye Yuan at a terrifying speed.
It was concealed weapons!
“Explode for me!”
Huo En formed a seal. Those flying knives directly exploded in the air, turning into countless fragments, virtually sealing off all of Ye Yuan’s escape routes!
Being struck by these shards, Ye Yuan’s body would probably turn into a sieve!
A hint of a cruel smile flashed across the corners of Huo En’s mouth. He knew that this mission was already completed.
His half-step Fiend Commander strength, scheming against the unwary, Ye Yuan absolutely could not possibly escape this assassination!
All of this was just something that happened in the time it took for sparks to fly off a piece of flint.
