Reborn Medicine King

2"My name is John Thompson, from the Sky Pavilion. If you're interested, you're welcome to visit our alchemy department in the future. We have many talented alchemists there," the old alchemist introduced himself, extending an invitation that made the other alchemists nearby quite envious. Many of them had come specifically for Jack, but most were stopped by Bruce.    

    

Jack replied, "If I get the chance, I'll be sure to visit."    

    

"That's a promise, then. If you ever consider joining a group, feel free to talk to me first. We can offer you benefits that won't be less than what the Alchemy Guild provides. Although our alchemy department doesn't have an immortal herb specialist, with your talent, we can figure something out. After all, the world is vast, and the Alchemy Guild isn't the only place with such experts."    

    

The old alchemist's offer was generous, and no one doubted his sincerity. Everyone knew John Thompson's reputation and the capabilities of the Sky Pavilion.    

    

Jack smiled, "Thank you, sir. I'll think about it."    

    

With that, he said no more and followed the people from the Alchemy Guild to another inn. John Thompson also left with a smile, saying nothing further.    

    

When Jack arrived at the new inn, he noticed that members of the Alchemy Guild were already stationed around it, clearly showing their commitment. If anything happened to Jack in this town, it would be a significant embarrassment for the Guild.    

    

Fang Xiang and Jiang Fann returned to their room first, while Zhu Yan negotiated with the alchemists. Not long after, Chen Ning appeared and went straight to Jiang Fann and Fang Xiang.    

    

Chen Ning first asked Jiang Fann about what had happened. When he intended to check on Jiang Fann's poisoning, Jiang Fann firmly refused, unlike when Zhang Tiancheng had checked him.    

    

Chen Ning was puzzled, "You were attacked here, and it's only right for us to help you heal. Are you worried that I don't have the skills to do it?"    

    

Jiang Fann shook his head, "You're overthinking it, sir. I've already thought of a solution, and we'll be leaving soon. This injury isn't affecting me much."    

    

Seeing Jiang Fann's determination, Chen Ning nodded, "I underestimated you. As a healer, you probably prefer to treat yourself. It's a valuable experience. If you can't handle it, feel free to come to me. If I can't help, there are even stronger healers who can."    

    

"Thank you, sir."    

    

"I'll be off then. If you need anything, contact me directly. No need to go through Zhu Yan."    

    

With that, he handed Jiang Fann a piece of his Spirit Attached Jade, clearly not wanting Zhu Yan involved.    

    

Jiang Fann took it without hesitation.    

    

After Chen Ning left, only Fang Xiang and Jiang Fann remained in the room, and Fang Xiang quickly spoke up.    

    

"Jiang Fann's skills in alchemy are way better than the old man's. Why don't you let him help you heal? You could even snag some of his pills..."    

    

Jiang Fann replied calmly, "Do I really need his help to heal? This matter isn't over yet, and I'm just curious about that guy."    

    

"Curious? Do you know who did it?"    

    

Jiang Fann said, "There aren't many practitioners with such toxic skills that we've encountered since we got here."    

    

Hearing this, Fang Xiang immediately thought of something. "Could it be those three guys?"    

    

"At the peak of the Mortal Separating Stage, only the two by the poison master's side can use such poison arts. It seems they're after the scroll fragments, but they underestimated my abilities."    

    

Fang Xiang frowned and said, "Should we change our identities again and leave quickly? Their origins are unclear, and they might take desperate measures and attack again. There aren't many experts from the Dan Sect around here, and they probably didn't expect anyone to dare make a move here. It's quite disrespectful to the Dan Sect."    

    

Jiang Fann remained calm and unruffled. "What's there to worry about? Practitioners at this level aren't much of a threat to me. Once we're done with the deal with Brother Zhu Yan, we'll leave."    

    

Jiang Fann was still thinking about the piece of immortal gold that Zhu Yan was selling.    

    

Since Jiang Fann wasn't worried, Fang Xiang had no reason to be concerned either. He had some understanding of Jiang Fann's combat abilities and trusted that he could handle the situation.    

    

Zhu Yan continued to intercept the visiting alchemists as before, collecting Spirit Attached Jades from them. He planned to find an opportunity to discuss alchemy with these high-ranking alchemists, but he certainly wasn't going to introduce them to Jiang Fann.    

    

Meanwhile, Jiang Fann was in his room, observing the Poison Arts energy in his palm. His body was already immune to all poisons, and unless the opponent's level was far superior, this poison wouldn't affect him at all.    

    

In the current situation, Jiang Fann was deliberately trapping this energy in his palm. He believed in settling scores and intended to use this to provoke the person into making another move. Through this Poison Arts, Jiang Fann could also learn about the opponent's methods, and it was clear that the person was skilled in more than just poison. The mysterious power to tear through space was anything but ordinary.    

    

If Zhang Tiancheng had been there during the day, he would have been amazed to see that the spiritual energy previously swirling in Jiang Fann's palm was now completely suppressed at a single point, unable to move at all. This demonstrated that Jiang Fann's power had fully contained the energy.    

    

After two hours, Zhu Yan finally found Jiang Fann. He set up an inhibition to prevent eavesdropping.    

    

"How are your injuries? The Dan Sect has sent quite a few cultivators nearby and set up formations. It seems they're really worried something might happen to you here."    

    

"My injury is fine. Have you wrapped up your tasks over there?" he asked, as a pill furnace appeared before him.    

    

The appearance of the furnace instantly caught Zuyan's attention. It was the Emperor-grade pill furnace from the Dan Sect. Such an item was incredibly tempting for any alchemist, and Zuyan was particularly passionate about the art of alchemy.    

    

Zuyan chuckled, "There are still a few people I need to meet tomorrow. Are you trying to make me jealous by showing off this treasure? Everyone wants something like this, but you've already given me what I wanted this time, so I won't compete with you for it."    

    

"This is an Emperor-grade pill furnace. Even with the right materials, success isn't guaranteed; that's why they're so rare."    

    

Zuyan replied directly, "I don't need you to tell me the value of this treasure. I know it better than you do. But I won't take what belongs to someone else, especially since we're like brothers!"    

    

Jiang Fann smiled, "The furnace isn't that important to me. If you like it, I could let you have it. However, that's not what I want to discuss with you. I'd like to meet with your clan's elder."    

    

Zuyan's eyes lit up at Jiang Fann's words, clearly thrilled. "Are you serious?"    

    

"Of course. You know I want to acquire some immortal gold. I don't want to owe your clan too much just based on favors. But if we include this furnace, asking for a bit more shouldn't be a problem, right?"    

    

Jiang Fann was straightforward, expressing his thoughts without holding back. If Zhu Yan refused, Jiang Fann wouldn't insist. It was better to discuss things now rather than wait until they met the big shots. At least Zhu Yan could use his family's resources to convey Jiang Fann's ideas to the elder.    

    

Jiang Fann didn't want to make a pointless trip.    

    

"If you're really planning to trade this treasure for some rare gold, I need to inform the elder. I was planning to take you to meet him anyway. I'm sure the elder would love to meet you, especially after all the commotion you've helped us stir up. He won't let your efforts go unrewarded."    

    

Jiang Fann chuckled, "Do you think I'd joke about this? Wrap things up here quickly, and then we'll head to your family's Fire Melting Valley."    

    

Zhu Yan nodded, "Don't worry, we'll set off tomorrow. Get some rest tonight."    

    

Hearing that Jiang Fann intended to sell the high-grade pill furnace, Zhu Yan was visibly pleased. He held a prestigious position in his family as the only high-ranking alchemist, often crafting pills for the clan's cultivators. Acquiring the high-grade pill furnace would significantly boost his efficiency and the quality of his pills, offering benefits far beyond any external resources like rare gold.    

    

He quickly found a high-quality communication talisman and reported the news to the elder.    

    

Jiang Fann began to let the Divine Spell absorb the fragment of the scroll. Although he couldn't practice this method yet, it could enhance the power of the Divine Spell itself and improve his abilities in the Chapter of Pill Dao.    

    

As the Creation Spell of Heaven and Earth gradually became more complete, its power was beyond comparison. The fragment of the scroll actively merged into it, and in just a moment, it was fully integrated into the Divine Spell. With no one to disturb him this time, Jiang Fann quickly withdrew the Divine Spell back into his Qi Sea, then carefully sensed its changes to boost his own abilities.    

    

...    

    

The Sui Dynasty.    

    

Three figures appeared simultaneously on the teleportation array in the royal city, then headed straight to a large estate in the northern part of the city. This expansive property was quite rare in the city, where every inch of land was precious.    

    

"Why are you back so late? Did you bring the person back? Who was that fool at the auction, making a scene?"    

    

The leading man's expression was stern.    

    

"Your Highness, we investigated outside, but those two seemed to vanish into thin air. After following them through two teleportations, we lost track. They must have used some disguise technique since the Great Shift Talisman can't be used in the city."    

    

"Vanished? You three assured me you'd catch them. Those bastards cost me hundreds of thousands of coins for nothing. I won't let them off easily. Do you remember what they looked like? Go to the Nine Heavens Pavilion and put out a bounty on them immediately."    

    

The leader of the group hesitated upon hearing this.    

    

"Second Prince, the incident took place at the auction house, which is under royal protection. If we issue a warrant for those two because of this, it might tarnish your reputation and incur displeasure from His Highness. Please reconsider!"    

    

The Second Prince's brow furrowed slightly, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.    

    

"And you still have the nerve to stand here? Go figure out a solution for me. I want them found, dead or alive!"
