Chapter 177: Chapter 177: It Must Be a Rumor
Translator: 549690339
Wang Zhou was indeed Wang Fan’s brother, the Grand Elder of the Empire Pharmacist Hall.
He Jianhe wanted to say something, but in the end, he fainted.
Soon, people from the Medicine Hall came over to carry Wang Fan, Liu Shuang, He Jianmu, and the rest back. As they were being carried away, everyone fled as if they were unsteady on their feet.
Of course, the people from the Medicine Hall also took the trouble to clean up the mess left on the ground nearby.
In the inner courtyard of Tiandou Academy, He Qingzhe, Guo Wei, Xiao Yong, Lin Xiao, and others were stunned for a long time when they learned that He Jianmu, He Jianhe, and the others had all been carried back.
“Yang Xiaotian has tamed a Flood Dragon?!” Lin Xiao stuttered in disbelief.
Was Yang Xiaotian also a Beast Tamer?
Back at the enrollment assessment, he had even forced Yang Xiaotian to summon his fierce beast. Now looking back, Lin Xiao only felt cold sweat streaming down his back.
No wonder his Zhu Yan fierce beast didn’t dare to make a move against Yang Xiaotian back then.
It must have been that his Zhu Yan had sensed the aura of that Flood Dragon, which was why it didn’t dare to attack Yang Xiaotian.
Xiao Yong also had a complicated expression on his face as he said, “I never thought that Yang Xiaotian would be a Beast Tamer who has tamed such a powerful Flood Dragon. Both Lord He Jianmu and Lord He Jianhe are Martial Venerable second-layer experts, could Yang Xiaotian’s Flood Dragon be at the strength of a Martial Venerable fourth layer?”
Martial Venerable fourth layer!
He Qingzhe and the others trembled inwardly. He Qingzhe, thinking of how he had repeatedly wanted to make a move against Yang Xiaotian, couldn’t help but feel chilled to the bone. Although he was at the pinnacle of Martial Ancestor, his strength was nothing in front of a Martial Venerable fourth-layer Flood Dragon. It was a matter of a single claw swipe.
No, not even a claw swipe would be necessary.
Probably a mere fart from it could knock him out cold.
In the following days, Yang Xiaotian’s life became much more peaceful.
He spent his days in the courtyard cultivating the thirty-two volumes of Supreme Divine Power and Skywalking Thousand Swords he obtained from the Heavenly Dragon Treasure.
When he had free time, he would keep company with his parents.
Sometimes, Yang Xiaotian would also visit the Sword Tower to comprehend the Sword Wall.
The students inside the Sword Tower would flee upon seeing Yang Xiaotian’s arrival, just like before.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
In that half a month, Yang Xiaotian finally brought his Skywalking Thousand Swords cultivation to the Perfection Realm.
After cultivating Skywalking Thousand Swords to the Perfection Realm, Yang Xiaotian went to the outskirts of Tiandou Imperial City, displayed the divine skill of Skywalking Thousand Swords, and enjoyed the thrill of flying high in the sky.
During these days of cultivation, Yang Xiaotian did not forget to ask Luo Qing and the others to continue investigating and looking for news about the Innate Sword Spirit.
Now, although he had cultivated the Myriad Aspects Sword Technique and the Shocking Heaven Sword Art to the Perfection Realm, it was still far from enough to condense a top-grade Golden Core.
Therefore, he still had to continue searching for the Innate Sword Spirit.
At the same time, he also had Luo Qing and others inquire about the Five Elements Origin Spirits.
His cultivation of the Vajra Indestructible Great Handprint was a supreme golden series divine skill. If he could obtain the origin spirit of the golden series and refine it, he would also be able to cultivate his Vajra Indestructible Great Handprint to the Summit Mastery Realm.
The same went for the other Supreme Divine Powers.
Thanks to the Blood Dragon Spirit Energy from the Blood Dragon Spirit Vein, Yang Xiaotian’s cultivation of the Primordial Dragon Art was progressing much faster. At this rate, it wouldn’t be long before he could break through to the sixth layer of Martial King.
In order to help the Azure Thunder Python and the Black Flood Dragon King return their bloodline to their ancestry, Yang Xiaotian chose a Long Clan Technique from the treasures left by Hong Feng for the two beasts to cultivate.
Although this Long Clan Technique was not as powerful as his Primordial Dragon Art, it was still a very strong technique from the Ancient Dragon Clan.
Meanwhile, He Jianmu and He Jianhe also returned to the Empire Pharmacist Hall in the Divine Dragon Empire.
Wang Zhou listened to the two’s reports in meticulous detail, his expression as dark as the still water.
“Yang Xiaotian said that if our Empire Pharmacist Hall sends more people over, they will die!” He Jianmu lowered his head, his voice as weak as a mosquito.
Wang Zhou’s eyes turned cold, “Reckless fool! He really thinks he can defy our Empire Pharmacist Hall just because he has a Jiaolong by his side!” Then he asked, “Based on your judgment, what is the strength of that Jiaolong?”
He Jianhe recalled and said, “It should be at the fourth or fifth level of Martial Venerable, and it might even be at the seventh level.”
However, even he could not be certain of the exact strength of Yang Xiaotian’s Black Flood Dragon King.
Because at that time, the Black Flood Dragon King had only used one claw to strike and a tail sweep, not revealing its true strength.
Wang Zhou commanded in a deep voice, “Go and summon Fang Heng.”
He Jianmu and He Jianhe were both surprised.
“Is the Great Elder intending to send Lord Fang Heng to Tiandou Imperial City?” He Jianmu asked cautiously.
Fang Heng was a peak Martial Venerable at the tenth level!
Moreover, he was a peak tenth-level Martial Venerable who was half a step into the Emperor Realm.
Wang Zhou said coldly, “Correct, let Fang Heng go!”
He Jianmu and He Jianhe looked at each other and ultimately responded with respect.
After a while, Fang Heng arrived in front of Wang Zhou.
“Capture Yang Xiaotian and bring him back, he must not be allowed to escape! And that Jiaolong, have its sinews pulled out, its skin peeled off!” Wang Zhou spoke sternly, “Chop off its Jiaolong head and hang it above the gate of Tiandou Imperial City!”
“Kill without mercy anyone who dares to obstruct!”
Fang Heng nodded, “I understand.” After speaking, he broke through the air and departed, vanishing into the sky in the blink of an eye.
Not long after Fang Heng left, Wang Zhou’s disciple Wu You came in to report that the Grand Hall Master wanted to see Wang Zhou.
“The Grand Hall Master has ended his seclusion?” Wang Zhou was surprised.
Empire Alchemy Hall’s Hall Master, Shi Yongping, had been in seclusion these past days, refining Holy Pills.
“Yes, the Grand Hall Master has come out of seclusion now,” Wu You replied respectfully and then hesitated, “It seems the Grand Hall Master’s complexion isn’t quite right.”
“He asked for you, Master, to come immediately.”
Come immediately?
Wang Zhou furrowed his brows, then left the courtyard to head towards the main hall of the Pharmacist Hall.
Arriving at the main hall, he found not just Hall Master Shi Yongping, but the Second Elder Chen Nian was also present. Seeing Chen Nian, Wang Zhou’s expression darkened; Chen Nian opposed him at every turn.
“Grand Hall Master,” Wang Zhou saluted with his fist.
Shi Yongping turned his head and looked at Wang Zhou, “Wang Zhou, I heard that a few days ago you sent the He brothers to capture a child named Yang Xiaotian from Tiandou Imperial City?”
Listening to Shi Yongping’s questioning, Wang Zhou explained, “This Yang Xiaotian is lawless and unbridled. A few days ago, he led people into our Tiandou Imperial Kingdom’s Pharmacist Hall, not only severely injuring several of our Medicine Hall’s expert pharmacists but also stealing a large amount of precious medicinal materials.”
But before he could finish speaking, Shi Yongping interrupted, “Stealing a large amount of precious medicinal materials from the Medicine Hall?” Then he scolded, “Wang Zhou, don’t think I don’t know what really happened!”
“You really think the Empire Alchemy Hall is your Wang Family property? To accuse whomever you wish as you please?”
He continued to rebuke, “Yang Xiaotian, last year at the age of eight, won first place in the Divine Sea Country Pharmacist Competition. With such alchemy talent, why has no one reported it to me?”
Just as Wang Zhou was about to reply, Shi Yongping scolded him again, “Also, Yang Xiaotian managed to refine top-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid without a Medicine Cauldron. Why has no one reported this unparalleled alchemy talent to me?”
However, Wang Zhou calmly replied, “Refine top-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid without a Medicine Cauldron? Such an absurdity must certainly be a rumor.”
