Chop Up That Dog and Feed It to the Next Dog Too!
The heavy gifts from all sides left Chu Xinghe wanting nothing more than to be alone.
What the hell did I do...? I turned this welcoming party into Flute of Space and Time Trading Fair without saying a word?
Everyone was overjoyed to have their divine artifacts exchanged for the Flute of Space and Time, but while our Flute of Space and Time was valuable, it wasn't valuable enough to be exchanged for a divine artifact...
My junior brother Feng Yuzheng can mass-produce the Flute of Space and Time... You guys are making me feel so uncomfortable...
No matter how upset you are, it's no use. All the gifts have been sent, and the recipients are quite satisfied. If you told them they weren't satisfied, you could simply go and return them, but how can you return something that they're happy with?
At the Vast Heaven Sect, Zheng Yu carefully put away the Flute of Space and Time in his hand.
The moment Martial Emperor City obtained the Flute of Space and Time, he handed it over to Zheng Yu. Its value was beyond question; having Zheng Yu Flute of Space and Time was like having an extra life.
Although Martial Emperor City paid the price of three divine artifacts, everyone felt it was well worth it.
After all, the three divine artifacts might not be able to save Zheng Yu's life at a critical moment, but the Flute of Space and Time could.
This is Zheng Yu's third visit to the Vast Heaven Sect. The previous two times, Zheng Yu didn't even have time to take a good look at the Vast Heaven Sect. This time, however Zheng Yu finally found the opportunity.
Arriving at the Spirit Crane Palace, Zheng Yu stood Spirit Crane Palace without rushing in. After all, this wasn't Martial Emperor City, and he didn't know if there were any taboos here.
Just as Zheng Yu was considering whether to ask someone, a voice came from behind her.
"Senior Brother Zheng Yu?"
Zheng Yu turned around and recognized the person who had come; it was Mu Bai.
"Hello, Junior Brother Mu Bai..."
"Mu Bai greets Zheng Yu. Would you like to visit the Spirit Crane Palace? I'll go find Senior Brother Xinghe right away."
"No, no, no... Junior Brother Mu Bai, there's no need to trouble yourself. Senior Brother Xinghe has been too busy these past few days. I just wanted to take a look around." Zheng Yu quickly stopped Mu Bai.
"Ah... alright then... I'll show Senior Brother Zheng Yu around." Mu Bai offered to lead the way.
Zheng Yu didn't stand on ceremony and followed Mu Bai into the Spirit Crane Palace.
Along the way, Mu Bai first introduced some information about the Spirit Crane Palace, but this was of no significance to Zheng Yu, since these were things that outsiders could also know.
But soon, Zheng Yu discovered something in the Spirit Crane Palace that was unknown to the outside world.
First was the magnificent Medicine King Palace. As soon as Zheng Yu entered the Medicine King Palace, he saw disciples of the Medicine King Palace refining pills.
At this moment, purple qi swirled around the disciple's alchemy furnace.
Although Zheng Yu was not skilled in alchemy, upon seeing the purple qi, Zheng Yu knew that this was a sign that a top-grade elixir was about to be born!
"Buzz buzz buzz..." The alchemy furnace trembled for a moment, and the next moment, under Zheng Yu's gaze, the alchemy was finally completed, and a purple light shot out from the furnace.
The top-grade elixir has been made!
Zheng Yu almost couldn't help but shout out.
As it turned out, Zheng Yu's guess was correct. At this moment, the alchemy furnace was opened, and pills emitting a purple glow were taken out from it.
Upon seeing the pills that had been taken out, Zheng Yu gasped again.
Moon Dream Pill!
It turned out to be Fourth Rank pill, the Moon Dream Pill. Although it is Fourth Rank pill, its refining difficulty is comparable to that of Fifth Rank. Due to its special nature, the failure rate of refining the Moon Dream Pill is extremely high. This top-grade Moon Dream Pill is even more expensive than many Fifth Rank pills!
Zheng Yu couldn't help but sigh in admiration as he looked at the young alchemist who had refined the top-grade Moon Dream Pill.
In terms of alchemy, the gap between Martial Emperor City and Vast Heaven Sect is truly enormous. Although Martial Emperor City also has a pharmacy, there are very few disciples in Martial Emperor City who can refine Moon Dream Pills, and even fewer who can refine top-grade Moon Dream Pills.
The disciple who refined the Moon Dream Pill looks so young; Future is limitless.
Zheng Yu couldn't help but want to offer her praise.
But before Zheng Yu could even speak, Mu Bai's voice came from behind!
"Mu Xiaoqi! You good-for-nothing!"
Zheng Yu: "???"
"Mu Xiaoqi... you are a disgrace to our Muyue Kingdom! You've been studying for three months and you can't even refine a Quasi-God Moon Dream Pill. All you can do is produce this garbage, top-grade Moon Dream Pill. How can you face Senior Brother Xinghe's training? How can you face our sect? From now on, don't ever say you're from the Muyue Kingdom, don't ever say you're a disciple of the Vast Heaven Sect, and don't ever say you know Senior Brother Xinghe. If you say you know Senior Brother Xinghe, it's an insult to him!"
Mu Xiaoqi was so angry at Mu Bai's scolding that she almost wanted to hide her head in her crotch.
"Senior Brother Mu Bai... I... I know I was wrong, I... I will continue to work hard... Waaaaah..."
Mu Xiaoqi was scolded until she burst into tears.
"Get out! Don't let me see you again! If you refine this kind of garbage top-grade pill again, I won't even need Senior Brother Xinghe to say a word; I'll directly ask the Grand Elder to expel you from the Spirit Crane Palace!"
"Waaaaah..." Mu Xiaoqi ran away crying.
Zheng Yu: "???"
Zheng Yu's mind was blank at that moment... Who am I?
Where am I? What the hell did I just see?
Um... can someone explain what's going on here?
In our Martial Emperor City, disciples who refine top-grade pills are rewarded...
That's when all the other fellow disciples will come to congratulate them...
But listen to what Mu Bai just said—was that even human language?
What constitutes a "garbage-grade top-tier elixir"?
Are you now getting expelled from your sect for refining top-grade pills?
Do you Medicine King Palace people have any humanity left?
But when Zheng Yu looked at Mu Bai's face, which was flushed with anger, it didn't seem like an act at all...
Seeing Zheng Yu's bewildered expression, Mu Bai came over to explain.
"Zheng Yu Brother Mu Bai, I apologize for my rudeness... I hope you won't laugh at me. But Xiaoqi is really a handful. He has great talent, but he just loves to slack off. He's been studying alchemy for half a year... and he's only at the Fourth Rank. Even when he tries to refine a Broken Moon Dream Pill, he can only produce a top-grade one."
Zheng Yu was almost in tears...
Mu Bai, do you even want to listen to the nonsense you're spouting...? You've been studying alchemy for half a year?
Only Fourth Rank?
If disciples from other sects outside heard you say that, you'd be beaten to death on the spot, do you know that?
Normally, it takes a disciple many years just to learn how to identify medicinal herbs in alchemy... and that's only if they're very talented...
It's one thing that your Muyue Kingdom has an innate ability to identify medicinal herbs... that's your talent, so I won't say anything about it. But even without considering the time spent identifying herbs, it would still take a disciple several years to go from learning alchemy to reaching the Fourth Rank...
This is for those with exceptional talent; there are plenty of people who are stuck at the First Rank lives.
Mu Xiaoqi became Fourth Rank in half a year, but you treated him like trash. Is that really okay?
And... what exactly constitutes a "trash-grade top-tier pill"? Are top-tier pills now considered trash in the Vast Heaven Sect?
If you really don't want this kind of garbage, how about sending a batch to our Martial Emperor City?
We, the Martial Emperor City, love this kind of trash...
However, soon after Mu Bai showed Zheng Yu the alchemy skills of the other Muyue Kingdom disciples, Zheng Yu fell silent... and even expressed approval of Mu Bai's previous insult of Mu Xiaoqi as trash.
Has anyone ever seen a Quasi-God pill just randomly appear out of nowhere?
Listen to Mu Bai's introduction...
Senior Brother Zheng Yu, this guy's name is Mu Heng. His talent is only average among us. He's only reached the Fifth Rank in half a year. Right now, the probability of refining a Quasi-God pill from Fifth Rank- rank pill is less than 30%...
Is this even human language?
Mu Bai, can't you be a decent human being?
The probability of reaching Fifth Rank within six months and then obtaining Quasi-God is less than 30%.
Do you know that the probability of alchemists outside producing a quasi- Quasi-God, let alone a top-grade one, is less than 10%?
So, in the eyes of you disciples of the Muyue Kingdom, even the best are trash, right?
And you're saying someone like that has only average talent among you? This isn't Versailles anymore... you're practically defying the heavens, you know that?
As Zheng Yu walked, he felt like he'd been... well, you know... done by a dog... He remembered how he'd sent that steward to recruit disciples in the Muyue Kingdom... No way... He'd have someone chop up the dog that ate the chopped-up steward and feed it to another dog right now!
This is just too painful to think about...
But the hardship wasn't just about refining medicine... Soon, when Mu Bai led Senior Brother Zheng Yu to the herb field, Zheng Yu's eyes were red...
Moonlight Grass... Nine Revolutions Flower... Heavenly Spirit Fruit... Sun-Rising White... One by one, the finest of the finest spiritual herbs grew throughout the entire herb field.
Seeing so many rare and precious medicinal herbs growing in patches, Zheng Yu felt that this was somehow unrealistic.
Many of these medicinal herbs only exist in legends, yet your Vast Heaven Sect cultivates several acres of medicinal fields. Have you really considered the feelings of outsiders?
Mu Bai quickly explained why there were so many medicinal herbs.
It's all thanks to the Muyue Kingdom. The disciples of the Muyue Kingdom have a unique ability to accelerate the growth of medicinal herbs. These herbs were initially few in number, but under the blessing of the Wood Spirit of the Muyue Kingdom disciples, they grew wildly, their quality improved, and they became more and more abundant. Now, these rare-level medicinal herbs can basically be used freely in the Vast Heaven Sect alchemy.
Listening to Mu Bai's introduction, Zheng Yu didn't know how she felt...
No! Keep notifying Martial Emperor City!
Chop up the dog that ate the chopped-up dog that was in charge and feed it to the next dog!
After spending half a day wandering around the Spirit Crane Palace, Zheng Yu was left feeling numb by the time Mu Bai out.
Some people used to say that the Heavenly Medicine Palace posed a great threat to the Medicine King Palace of the Vast Heaven Sect, and that under Wu Qun's leadership, the Heavenly Medicine Palace had even begun to rise in power.
But seeing everything at the Spirit Crane Palace with his own eyes now, Zheng Yu could only think... No wonder Wu Qun hadn't made a sound for the past two years, how could he possibly make a sound now?
Luo Ying'er is hailed as the strongest alchemist of the younger generation in the Heavenly Medicine Palace, but Zheng Yu now only suspects that if Luo Ying'er were to encounter Mu Bai, she might be utterly crushed by him...
As for Senior Brother Xinghe?
Zheng Yu inquired about the extent of Senior Brother Xinghe's alchemy skills. Mu Bai with a serious expression, "Unfathomable... Senior Brother Xinghe Muyue Kingdom gave us a little guidance and we're already this good. Senior Brother Xinghe alchemy skills must have reached an unbelievable level..."
Zheng Yu didn't find Mu Bai's statement an exaggeration at all, because that was Chu Xinghe, who had Medicine Saint Inheritance Medicine Saint was even destined to surpass him in the Future...
