Reborn Medicine King

"Don't rush off just yet. You've got the pill furnace, and the ritual won't take long. You don't really think the elder would change his mind, do you?" Jiang Fann asked with a smile.    

Zhu Yan replied earnestly, "Better safe than sorry."    

Jiang Fann chuckled, "You're underestimating the elder. Sit down and tell me what kind of help he needs. If it's something a pharmacist can handle, I might be able to assist."    

Zhu Yan calmed down but looked a bit embarrassed. "Honestly, I'm not sure. I know the elder valued me when I first showed promise in alchemy, but I don't know the exact reason. Although our clan doesn't have many pharmacists, the elder travels a lot and isn't short on resources. He always brings back enough treasures to sustain the clan's needs. If someone needs healing, he can find friends to help. But as for needing a pharmacist, he never told me why."    

Fang Xiang chimed in, "You're the pharmacist here, and you don't even know these things?"    

"It's not like I want it this way. I discovered my alchemy talent young, and the elder sent me out of the valley to train with a group of cultivators, improving my skills through experience. If it hadn't hindered my potential, I might be even better at alchemy now. I rarely come back, and when I do, the elder quickly sends me away again."    

Zhu Rong was clearly hesitant about whether to tell Jiang Fann, who was brimming with interest. As a pharmacist, this was right up his alley, and now that he was an immortal pharmacist, if he couldn't solve it, no other pharmacist Zhu Rong found would be of any use.    

Fang Xiang spoke up, "Zhu Ying has been in the Fire Valley for years; she should know, right? Why don't you bring her here, and we can ask her?"    

Zhu Yan quickly looked at him with caution. "Don't even think about hitting on my sister. Jiang Fann is okay..."    

Fang Xiang wasn't offended and quickly replied, "Jiang Fann is surrounded by beautiful women; he doesn't have the energy to find another. I'm not bad myself, maybe you should consider..."    

Zhu Yan retorted, "My sister can't leave the valley, so you, as the manager of the Nine Heavens Pavilion, shouldn't waste your time on her. Otherwise, you might not make it out of Fire Valley!"    

As they were talking, Zhu Ying suddenly entered the room with a smile on her face, looking at the three of them. "What are you all chatting about? Have you seen the ancestor?"    

Zhu Yan handed her a pill furnace. "Take a look at this treasure I got, an emperor-level spiritual treasure. With this, if you ever need any pills, just let me know, and I'll make them for you."    

Zhu Ying clearly wasn't interested in the pill furnace, even if it was an emperor-level spiritual treasure.    

"I'd rather you promise me a magical creature."    

Zhu Yan felt a bit awkward and replied helplessly, "Next time, I'll definitely bring one back for you."    

Fang Xiang turned to Zhu Ying and said, "It's just a magical creature. If your brother won't catch one for you, I can take you to catch one. I know a nearby place that's full of them. You can choose whichever you like."    

Hearing Fang Xiang's words, Zhu Ying's eyes filled with anticipation, but she gently shook her head in the end.    

"Unfortunately, I can't leave the Fire Valley. Otherwise, I'd definitely have you take me to catch a magical creature."    

Fang Xiang asked, "Why can't you leave the valley? What are you afraid of? I'll protect you."    

Zhu Yan interjected, "You better keep quiet. She's never left the boundaries of Fire Valley. It's an ancestral rule. If you keep pushing it, don't blame me for not honoring our friendship."    

He was clearly annoyed, displeased with Fang Xiang's suggestion.    

Zhu Ying quickly explained, "It's my own issue. Thank you for your kindness, Fang Xiang. When I can leave the valley, you can take me to catch a magical creature."    

Fang Xiang replied, "No worries. If you can't go out, I'll catch one and bring it back for you."    

With that, he walked over to Zhu Yan and extended his hand, "Give me a token to enter the valley. I'm going out to catch a magical creature."    

This time, Zhu Yan didn't refuse. He found a red token and handed it to Fang Xiang.    

"I know that dangerous spot nearby. With your current skills, you need to be careful not to risk your life there," someone advised.    

Fang Xiang, however, wasn't concerned. "I have information about that place. There won't be any problems."    

He then turned to Jiang Fann. "Don't leave before I get back."    

Jiang Fann nodded. "Be careful. If you run into trouble, use the Spirit Attached Jade to call me, and I'll come to help."    

Fang Xiang acknowledged this, said goodbye to Zhu Ying, and left. He knew Zhu Rong's main guest was Jiang Fann, and he was just tagging along. Exploring the area wasn't a bad idea, and it gave him a chance to interact with Zhu Ying.    

Zhu Ying was a bit worried and asked Zhu Yan, "Is he going to be okay on his own? He doesn't seem very strong."    

"Don't worry. He's a cultivator from the Heaven Pavilion and knows those dangerous areas well. Even if I had trouble there, he wouldn't. Come with me to complete the pill furnace's recognition. There's a welcome banquet tonight, and you'll join me."    

Zhu Ying nodded obediently. "Okay!"    

The two left, leaving Jiang Fann alone in the room. He wasn't worried, though. He found a place to sit, focused his mind on the Hundred Treasures Bag, and admired the piece of immortal gold, feeling quite pleased.    

At that moment, the voice of the Divine Blade spoke up. "Master, this piece of immortal gold can restore at least ten percent of my power. Just hand it over to me."    

The Universe Furnace wasn't about to be outdone.    

"If I can refine this immortal gold into my body, it will boost the power of my Samadhi True Fire by twenty percent and enhance the effects of my other formations. It's definitely more valuable than using it to repair that broken sword."

"Who are you calling a broken sword?"    

"Whoever responds, that's who..."    

Xiao Yu and the Martial God Token clearly had no intention of getting involved, as the immortal gold wasn't of much use to them. The Longevity Robe, naturally resistant to fire energy, also stayed out of it, silently watching the spectacle.    

Jiang Fann spoke up, "No need to argue. How about splitting it in half?"    

The two quarreling spirits surprisingly agreed in unison.    

"Deal!"    

Jiang Fann nodded, "Once this matter is resolved, I'll divide it between you. Now's not the time."    

Just then, Xiao Yu suddenly said, "Someone's approaching, a Reincarnation Realm expert."    

Jiang Fann opened his eyes, moved to the table, and waited for the visitor to enter. Sure enough, shortly after, there was a knock on the door.    

Knock, knock, knock—    

"Come in!"    

The door opened, and a figure stepped inside. It was the Reincarnation Realm expert they had encountered before, looking much calmer than before.    

Without wasting time, the visitor asked Jiang Fann, "Could you show me your strongest flame? I'd love to see it."    

The man had a determined look in his eyes, but there was no hostility. It was clear he wouldn't leave easily if his request wasn't met. Jiang Fann noticed he wasn't alone; another person entered after him—a red-haired elder whose presence matched the man's. Surprisingly, he was also a master of the same level. This was unexpected for Jiang Fann, as the family was small, with only about a hundred members. To find not just one but two masters of such caliber, aside from the renowned ancestor, was astonishing.    

The elder, upon entering, observed Jiang Fann with evident interest. Jiang Fann remained calm. "I am Jiang Fann, pleased to meet you both."    

The elder asked, "What's the story behind your fire energy? Even our sacred grounds don't possess such potent fire energy. Would you mind showing me?"    

Since neither seemed hostile, Jiang Fann obliged, conjuring the Heaven Burning Fire in his palm. The two masters leaned in, using their senses to perceive the fire's aura, their eyes filled with surprise.    

The elder quickly fetched a chair for Jiang Fann. "Young man, is this flame something you acquired, or is it innate? Even with my higher level, my fire is affected by your energy. What's the origin of this flame?"    

"This is the ultimate flame, the Heaven Burning Fire, which I acquired later in life."    

The man who entered first got straight to the point: "Could you give me a strand of this flame, or perhaps let me have it? I'm willing to trade all my treasures for it."    

Jiang Fann didn't hesitate for a moment and directly refused.    

"The Heaven Burning Fire is under my control and can't be separated into strands to give away. As for handing it over entirely, even if I did, you might not be able to tame it."    

Jiang Fann wasn't being rude; he simply understood the nature of the Heaven Burning Fire. Without the Innate Dao Fruit, he wouldn't have been able to suppress it.    

The Heaven Burning Fire grows stronger when faced with strength. If not for his suppression, its power would rival a top-tier heavenly tribulation, and it wouldn't be something this man could easily subdue.    

The man furrowed his brow and said, "My family has a natural ability to suppress various flames. There's no flame we can't tame."    

Jiang Fann smiled and said, "You can try using your Fire Arts to feel it for yourself."    

The man gathered a flame in his palm and looked at Jiang Fann with confusion, unsure of his intentions.    

Jiang Fann then directed the Heaven Burning Fire from his palm to the man's hand. As soon as the two flames touched, the man's flame was instantly ignited by the Heaven Burning Fire, and its spiritual strength was continuously consumed, becoming somewhat uncontrollable.    

Even when he used the Strength of Heavenly Dao at the reincarnation level, he still struggled to counteract it. The two flames were at an impasse, despite the vast difference in cultivation between Jiang Fann and him.    

Jiang Fann continued, "I've only harnessed about one percent of the Heaven Burning Fire's power. If it weren't for my techniques keeping it in check, in its full state, you two would have no choice but to step aside. To truly master it, everything has to align perfectly."    

The two furrowed their brows, clearly struggling to fully accept Jiang Fann's explanation.    

Just then, a tall figure entered the room.    

"He's not lying to you. The ultimate power can't be forced; it requires the right time and connection to be tamed."    

Hearing this voice, the two immediately turned to look at him and became very respectful.    

"Ancestor!"
