Invincible Divine Sword - Chapter 208:
Chapter 208: Chapter 208: The Second Medicine God of Our Empire!
The one who spoke was an elder clad in grey.
An Ancient Divine Palace disciple angrily said, “My senior brother’s expertise in the Medicine Path is unmatched, how can an ant like you comment on it!” With that, he reached out with a claw toward the grey-clothed elder’s shoulder.
But before he could touch the grey-clothed elder’s shoulder, he was sent flying by the elder.
The crowd was astonished.
That disciple of the Ancient Divine Palace was someone of the Supreme Emperor Realm, and yet, he was sent flying without a trace.
Moreover, none of the onlookers, including Shi Yongping and Long Lan, saw how the grey-clothed elder made his move.
After sending the Ancient Divine Palace disciple flying, the grey-clothed elder praised Yang Xiaotian, “Little fella, you’re called Yang Xiaotian, right? You are quite impressive. My name is Fu Xiangming.”
“We will meet again in the future.”
With that, he turned and left, suddenly disappearing from everyone’s sight.
The crowd watched as the grey-clothed elder disappeared, all with their eyes wide with shock.
Fu Xiangming? Jiu Wu of the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect initially looked puzzled, but then he suddenly recalled an ancient being, and his face changed drastically, “It’s him!”
Shi Yongping, Long Lan, Wang Zhou, and others also remembered who Fu Xiangming was and were similarly shocked.
“This old monster, he’s still alive!” Zhao Jinzhou of the Sky-Stepping Sect said in amazement.
Many experts from various clans at the scene had not heard of this Fu Xiangming, but seeing the expressions of Jiu Wu, Shi Yongping, Zhao Jinzhou, and others, they too were surprised.
This grey-clothed elder, Fu Xiangming, seemed to be a remarkable figure.
“Elder, who is this Fu Xiangming?” A core disciple of the Sky-Stepping Sect couldn’t help but ask Zhao Jinzhou, puzzled.
But Zhao Jinzhou just shook his head, refusing to discuss it further.
It seemed that Fu Xiangming was a taboo subject, not to be mentioned lightly.
Yang Xiaotian was also puzzled, but now was not the right time to inquire. After the competition was over, once they returned, he decided to ask the Azure Thunder Python.
See if Old Meng knew about this Fu Xiangming.
In the end, the third round of the competition came to a close.
Long Xingkong, Lan Yi, Li Qianqian, and others had not managed to refine the Ultimate Supreme Pure Jade Elixir Pill.
Yang Xiaotian indisputably won the championship of this Empire Pharmacist Competition.
Shi Yongping personally delivered the champion’s rewards to Yang Xiaotian, including Spirit Stones, Elixirs, a set of top-grade Profound Instruments, and the Earth Flame.
Wang Zhou watched as Yang Xiaotian took the Earth Flame, his face dark as water.
This Earth Flame was something he had coveted for years.
Unfortunately, he had never been able to subdue it.
And now it had fallen into Yang Xiaotian’s hands!
“Friend Yang, are you interested in joining our Empire Pharmacist Hall?” As soon as Yang Xiaotian accepted his prizes, Shi Yongping asked with a smile, anxious that Yang Xiaotian might refuse.
To make the offer more appealing, Shi Yongping added with a smile, “Joining the Empire Pharmacist Hall comes with many conveniences, such as purchasing medicinal ingredients and studying the Alchemy Secret Manual of the Pharmacist Hall.”
Before Yang Xiaotian could speak, Wang Zhou objected, “Yang Xiaotian killed Fang Heng and Zeng Biao, special stewards of our Empire Pharmacist Hall, making him a wanted criminal of our hall!”
“How can a wanted criminal join our Empire Pharmacist Hall!”
“I disagree!”
Wang Zhou’s words were final, his eyes filled with murder.
Shi Yongping looked at Wang Zhou, his eyes turning cold, “Yang Xiaotian is a wanted criminal? I wasn’t aware of that. Since when does a Great Elder like you have the authority to arbitrarily declare someone a wanted criminal?”
Wang Zhou faltered, “Regardless, I do not agree!”
Shi Yongping cut him off directly, “Your disagreement is invalid!”
With rage in his eyes but feeling helpless, Wang Zhou had no recourse.
Even though he was a Great Elder of the Empire Pharmacist Hall and considered the successor for the position of the next Grand Hall Master, it was not yet the case.
“Friend Yang, what do you think?” Shi Yongping turned his head, his smile spreading, and asked Yang Xiaotian.
Yang Xiaotian nodded: “I am willing to join the Empire Pharmacist Hall.”
Wang Zhou didn’t want him to join, but he insisted on joining.
It would surely infuriate him.
Seeing Yang Xiaotian nodding, Shi Yongping was beyond excited, laughing heartily: “Good, Friend Yang joining our Empire Pharmacist Hall is indeed a stroke of fortune for us! Should you have any requests in the future, you can come to me.”
Long Lan, standing to the side, also smiled: “Congratulations to the Grand Hall Master, congratulations to Friend Yang.”
Qingxuan stepped forward, her youthful face radiant, her eyes sparkling as she smiled: “Congratulations, Brother Xiaotian!” She then laughingly said, “You have to treat me to barbecue tonight.”
Barbecue?
Yang Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, then laughed: “Alright.”
After that, Chen Nian distributed the rewards to the top ten of the Pharmacist Competition.
As for Gu Shaozong, he didn’t even make the top ten, ranking in the teens.
Watching Yang Xiaotian, Long Xingkong, Lan Yi, and others step forward to receive their awards, Gu Shaozong clenched his fists tightly, feeling an urge to strangle a bull.
The Empire Pharmacist Competition finally came to a close.
In the hall of the True Dragon Divine Sect, Hu Nan paced back and forth, casting anxious glances toward the outside of the hall from time to time.
“Sect Master!” Just then, True Dragon Divine Sect Elder Jiang Lin came running in, bursting with excitement: “Found out who controlled the Divine Flame, it’s Yang Xiaotian! He’s Yang Ling’er’s brother!”
Yang Xiaotian! Yang Ling’er’s brother!
Hu Nan’s eyes widened, then he became extremely excited: “Ling’er’s brother? Are you sure?”
“Positive!” Jiang Lin said excitedly, smiling: “Today at the Empire Pharmacist Competition, Yang Xiaotian summoned the Thunder Tribulation Divine Fire in public and refined a Profound Level elixir while in the Martial King Realm!”
“Grand Hall Master Shi Yongping said that within a century, this young man will certainly become the second Medicine God of our Empire!”
Hu Nan’s mouth fell open: “Refined a Profound Level elixir in the Martial King Realm? Our Empire’s second Medicine God?!”
“Yes, he controlled both the Thunder Tribulation Divine Fire and the Nine Phoenixes Golden Flame simultaneously, and used the Medicine Array with Gale Torrential Rain for alchemy, crafting the top-grade Supreme Pure Jade Elixir Pill, and won first place in this Pharmacist Competition!” Jiang Lin fired off his words like a machine gun, his lips quivering with excitement.
Controlling both the Thunder Tribulation Divine Fire and the Nine Phoenixes Golden Flame simultaneously!
Using the Medicine Array and Gale Torrential Rain at the same time!
This is such a significant piece of information!
Hu Nan was so bombarded that he was at a loss for a moment.
“What about Gu Shaozong?” Hu Nan remembered Gu Shaozong and couldn’t help asking.
Before this Empire Pharmacist Competition, everyone believed that Gu Shaozong would take first place.
Upon hearing the question, Jiang Lin’s expression became strange as he said: “Gu Shaozong only crafted a near-perfect grade Supreme Pure Jade Elixir Pill, and didn’t even make it into the top ten, ranking eleventh.”
Ranked eleventh?
Hu Nan was stunned.
Not first? And had actually dropped to eleventh? A ten was directly added before his rank.
“Sect Master, should we report this to the ancient ancestor?” Seeing Hu Nan stupefied, Jiang Lin couldn’t help but remind him.
Their True Dragon Divine Sect’s most ancient and powerful ancestor had been waiting for news.
Hu Nan suddenly snapped back to reality: “Right, right, right, I’ll report to the ancient ancestor now!” With that, he rushed out of the hall at the speed of a super rocket, causing a mighty gust of wind.
However, as he bolted out of the hall, he crashed into the mighty doors, causing a resounding clang.
Jiang Lin stared at the skewed hall doors for a long while, speechless.
Then there was another thunderous noise.
Frightened, Jiang Lin stepped out of the hall, just in time to see Hu Nan charging past, leaving a large gap in the mountain ahead.
