Reborn Medicine King

Then, he said to Jiang Fann, "There must be a reason why the Pill Sect chose to hold the competition here. According to the map of our Heaven Pavilion, there should be a very special secret realm nearby that grows a lot of spiritual herbs."    

Hearing this, Jiang Fann's eyes lit up, and he said directly, "There is such a good place here?"    

Fang Xian said, "There was one before, but it has been a few hundred years since it was opened. Furthermore, the entrance has already been occupied by the Pill Sect. Even if it is opened again, it will be very difficult for outsiders to enter."    

"Why does the Pill Sect have the right to occupy it? Don't the dynasties and the Nine Heavens Pavilion care about it?"    

"These are all decisions made by the big shots. As for the exact reason, it's not something that a small character like me can know. However, according to the previous rules of opening, the next time it is opened, it will be at least a few decades later. However, the Pill Sect should have other reasons for holding the competition here."    

Jiang Fann was undoubtedly looking forward to such a secret realm. If he could confirm the exact location of the entrance, he would think of a way to break into the secret realm and investigate it. After all, he had the ability to do so.    

"Do you know the exact location of the secret realm?"    

Fang Xian said, "I only marked the approximate location on my map, but if you're interested, I can ask around in the Heaven Pavilion here. It shouldn't be a problem."    

"After this matter is settled, if we can't confirm it, you can help me ask around."    

"No problem!"    

Jiang Fann then asked, "How long will it take for us to arrive at the location of the competition?"    

"About a day's journey. If we use the flying spiritual treasure, it will take half a day."    

Jiang Fann looked at the cultivators around him and found that many cultivators were rushing on the ground. There were also some cultivators riding demonic beasts. There were not many cultivators riding on flying spiritual treasures, so he didn't know why.    

"Don't you think it's strange? Look at these cultivators rushing on the ground. There are no lack of experts at the Mortal Separating Stage among them, but they don't have cultivators riding on flying spiritual treasures. Ordinary flying spiritual treasures should not be difficult to find in the Upper Nine Heavens, right?"    

Speaking of this, Fang Xian was also a little surprised.    

"It seems that I have thought about it too simply. I have never been to this area before. Could there be a reason?"    

He frowned slightly, then walked towards a group not far away. Obviously, he was going to find out the reason.    

From his expression, it was obvious that the other party had only reminded him. He immediately thought of something, then thanked him briefly, and ran back to Jiang Fann's side with an embarrassed face.    

"Did you figure it out?"    

Fang Xiang nodded and explained, "There is actually no special reason. This place is already at the border between the Heavenly Dynasty and the Central Heaven Dynasty. The Central Heaven Dynasty has a restriction on flying in the sky. This is the rule of the Central Heaven Dynasty. If anyone dares to violate it, the consequences will be very troublesome."    

Jiang Fann couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this.    

"From the map, the area covered by the ZhongTian Dynasty is even bigger than the ShaTian Dynasty. If they don't even allow the cultivators to fight in such a large area, what should we do?"    

Fang Xian said, "They are forbidden to fight outside. Otherwise, they will be hunted down by the dynasty!"    

"They can even keep an eye on such a large area?"    

Fang Xian said awkwardly, "If they have the confidence to not be caught, then they don't have to worry. However, decades ago, there was a Reincarnation Realm expert who chased his enemy into the territory of the ZhongTian Dynasty and killed him. Now, he is still in the prison of the ZhongTian Dynasty. It is also because of this rule that the ZhongTian Dynasty is very stable. However, there are countless experts in the territory, and the secret realm is just like the other dynasties. There are not many rules."    

"If someone comes to me for trouble, wouldn't they be able to protect themselves in the ZhongTian Dynasty?"    

Fang Xian said, "Although that's the case, if it's really useful, then that guy doesn't need to be locked in the prison. For the important figures, it might not be a restriction, but might be a help instead."    

It had to be said that Jiang Fann's understanding of the current rules of the Upper Nine Heavens was really too little. Each dynasty in the Upper Nine Heavens had different rules, but the ZhongTian Dynasty was the most special.    

That night, the two of them came to the side of the road and set up a bonfire to rest.    

There were still some cultivators on the road who didn't stop and continued to rush on. Fang Xian paid attention to the cultivators on the road, but these cultivators didn't even pay attention to the two of them.    

Since Jiang Fann was a middle-aged man, his cultivation base was not obvious. As for Jiang Fann, his cultivation base was not too high in the Nine Heavens, and he had even suppressed a few Minor Stages.    

However, not long after, a figure stood by the side of the road and looked at Jiang Fann with a frown.    

The cultivators who were walking with him also stopped and turned around to look at the other party.    

"Do you know him?"    

Beside the bonfire, Fang Xiang nudged Jiang Fann with his arm.    

Jiang Fann opened his eyes and saw the figure who was observing him by the roadside. His red hair had already proved his identity. He had met the alchemist beside the teleportation array in the palace.    

It was the cultivator who had a special bloodline as Fang Xiang had mentioned.    

The other party had sensed something when he passed by, and he had immediately locked onto Jiang Fann.    

The cultivator sat down beside the bonfire. His eyes did not contain any hostility. He was a cultivator in his forties, and his real age should be much older than Jiang Fann and the others.    

He said to the cultivator who was walking by the side of the road, "I am also resting here today. If you are in a hurry, you can go ahead. We will meet in the valley tomorrow."    

The cultivator clearly knew him well. He sized up the two people beside the bonfire and nodded to the red-haired man. Then, he turned around and left.    

The red-haired man was obviously very interested in Jiang Fann.    

Without beating around the bush, he went straight to the point.    

"Little brother, we seem to have met before?"    

Jiang Fann said, "Senior, you really have a shocking perception of the Fire Spiritual Strength."    

"Senior? I'm not even a few decades older than you. You don't need to call me senior. Just call me big brother. My race has an innate perception of the Fire Spiritual Strength, especially the special flames. You are the one with the most complicated Fire Spiritual Strength I've ever seen. So of course, I have a deep impression of you. Although I don't know how you changed your appearance, the chaotic and complicated Fire Spiritual Strength won't be able to hide from me."    

The man seemed to be afraid that he had said something wrong. He then continued, "Little brother, don't worry. Your identity has nothing to do with me. I won't reveal it to anyone else."    

After saying that, he stretched out his hand towards Jiang Fann.    

"My name is Zhu Yan!"    

"Jiang Fann!"    

Jiang Fann did not hide his identity. Because this guy in front of him could still recognize him even under the circumstances that he had deliberately altered his Spiritual Strength with a secret technique. He could only hide his identity for a while. It was better to make friends with him. After all, Jiang Fann was also very interested in this race.    

Fang Xian, who was at the side, immediately said, "Old brother, you are also going to the Pill Pavilion Competition, right?"    

Zhu Yan nodded.    

"As a pharmacist, I usually have nothing to do. Since I can have such an activity, of course I have to come and take a look. I can also see the world. Who knows, I might even be able to take in a good disciple. I can't miss such an opportunity."    

After saying that, he looked at Jiang Fann and said, "Elder Brother Jiang is also an alchemist, right? With such a complicated Fire Spiritual Strength, I think you should have a different kind of fire on you."    

This guy's eyes were filled with anticipation, which showed that he was very interested in the Heavenly Flame.    

Jiang Fann nodded and said, "Of course, I'm an alchemist here. However, this time, I disguised myself here. If the news of my identity gets out, it will definitely cause me trouble in the future."    

"Brother, I am famous for being strict with my mouth. I even sent away my friends. You can rest assured."    

He then looked at Fang Xiang.    

"What's your name?"    

"Fang Xiang."    

"Fang Xian? The one from Heaven Pavilion? I didn't expect to underestimate you!"    

Zhu Yan had obviously heard of Fang Xiang before. After knowing his identity, he was a little surprised.    

He sized him up and said, "You, a manager of Heaven Pavilion, are actually hiding your face. Did you offend someone?"    

Fang Xiang said, "I am only doing this to not expose Elder Brother Jiang's identity. Just me alone, what is there to worry about?"    

Zhu Yan looked at Jiang Fann curiously and asked, "Are you planning to participate in the competition?"    

"I'm already here, so of course I have to give it a try."    

Hearing Jiang Fann's words, Zhu Yan's eyes lit up.    

"Younger Brother Jiang, do you represent a certain force?"    

"I came by myself."    

"That's great. The Fire Spiritual Strength on your body is so special. You can represent my clan to participate in the competition. This way, I can enter the inner area to watch the competition. It won't do you any harm. I can help you refine medicine for free. You only brought Fang Xiang with you, so you don't need me."    

Jiang Fann did not know what the rules of this competition were, but he could tell from Zhu Yan's words.    

When Fang Xian heard his words, he did not wait for Jiang Fann to speak, and directly said, "Brother Zhu Yan, Elder Brother Jiang is here to amaze the world with a single feat. It doesn't seem right for your clan to represent you, right? My Heaven Pavilion has spent a lot of money to recruit him, but he still hasn't been accepted."    

The corner of Jiang Fann's mouth curled up. He immediately understood what Fang Xian meant. He was helping him get benefits.    

Zhu Yan frowned. He clearly did not expect Fang Xian to say that.    

Fang Xian also took advantage of the situation and continued, "This is a good opportunity. If we can make him represent your clan in the competition, the Pill Gate will definitely increase their cooperation with your clan. After all, there aren't many talented alchemists like Elder Brother Jiang."    

Zhu Yan said, "Brat, don't try to fool me. Do you know how much capital the Elixir Sect has invested this time? The Gifted Pharmacist that the Elixir Sect has sent this time is not someone that outsiders can defeat. However, if Brother Jiang Fann can get into the top five, it will indeed be able to close the relationship between our clan and the Elixir Sect. However, do you have the confidence? I know that the few young alchemists that are coming this time are very powerful."    

Fang Xian laughed, "I didn't lie to you. Besides, you are mainly here to watch the competition. If our Heaven Pavilion's information is correct, it seems very difficult for my tribe to have an alchemist."    

Zhu Yan said, "My clan has the Fire Arts, but we have almost lost our perception of the wood Spiritual Strength. There are very few people who can become an alchemist. There are hundreds of my clan, and there are only two alchemists in my clan. The other one is far less talented than me. I can't leave my clan and enter the Pill Gate. I have been searching for a long time, and it was not easy for me to reach the ranks of the emperor-ranked alchemist."
