Fire Black Lotus: A Deal with Medicine King Hall

Sect with a hundred or so Void Realm cultivators can be called Large Sect, while Sect with a hundred or more Void Realm cultivators and a hundred or more Nascent Deity Transformation is Medium Sect. Although the Medicine King Hall is a sect that does not contend with the world, as Medium Sect, its foundation is naturally not bad. The Deity Transformation stage Cultivator slowly descended with Zhuge Xiang.

Although Zhuge Xiang explained his purpose and confirmed that he had no hostile intentions, Zhuge Xiang's reputation was still very high. He had killed quite a few Deity Transformation Stage Cultivator along the way. In addition, the Asura Warship was a deterrent force. Regardless of whether the Fire Black Lotus would eventually be handed over to Zhuge Xiang, it was not a bad thing to let the Asura Warship land first.

"Since Brother Zhuge has come to request the Fire Black Lotus, he should naturally understand Fire Black Lotus value. This is not something I can decide alone. Please wait a moment, Brother." After leading Zhuge Xiang to a side hall and having the disciples of the Medicine King Hall serve him tea, fruits, and melons, the Deity Transformation Cultivator turned and left.

"Hey, the Fire Black Lotus you asked for looks quite valuable. Are you sure they'll actually give it to you?" Sitting next to Zhuge Xiang, watching the Deity Transformation stage Cultivator leave, Su Huayu Zhuge Xiang asked him.

Being outside the Asura Sect, Su Huayu was no longer bound by the constraints of superior-subordinate relationships, and she became much more at ease in front of Zhuge Xiang.

"Fire Black Lotus is a very rare medicinal herb, and it is quite valuable. But as long as it is a medicinal herb, it has its value. As long as we can offer a price that is attractive enough to the other party, I think they will not refuse," Zhuge Xiang said with a smile, picking up the tea on the table, taking a sip, and speaking confidently.

Before long, three more people entered the side hall, all of them at the Deity Transformation stage. Clearly, they valued Zhuge Xiang highly. After the three Deity Transformation Stage Cultivator sat down, they looked Zhuge Xiang up and down, unable to hide their amazement. Zhuge Xiang's name was already famous Yanling Commandery, but seeing him in person was truly astonishing in its youth.

"I've heard that young friend Zhuge desires two Fire Black Lotus. To be honest, you understand the value of such a precious medicinal herb as the Fire Black Lotus Zhuge Xiang our Medicine King Hall," said an elderly man with white hair and beard, exuding an air of otherworldly elegance, after the three Nascent Deity Transformation Stage Cultivator had sat down.

The Deity Transformation stage, like the Qi Refining Stage, is also divided into six minor realms. Looking at this white-haired old man, Zhuge Xiang felt an overwhelming sense of power, a feeling he had never experienced with Qing Mingzi. This made him realize that this old man held a high position in the Medicine King Hall; although not Void Realm Great Expert, he was at least a late-stage Nascent Deity Transformation.

"Although my Asura Sect is Demonic Sect, we would not take what others love for no reason. I wonder if my prescription for this Pill is worthy of your attention?" Zhuge Xiang put down his Teacup, grabbed at the Void, and took out the recipe for the Berserk Bear Secret Medicine from his Bag Space.

Berserk Bear Secret Medicine Recipe: Requires Fifth Grade Beginner Pill Alchemist. Required materials: 5 x 100 -Hundred-Year Ginseng Tendrils, 1 x Rehmannia Root, 1 x 100 -Hundred-Year Snake Gallbladder, 1 x Flame Fruit. Effects: Increases attack power by 1000 for 30 seconds. Side effects: Mild Weakened State for one day, all attributes reduced by 30%.

Of course, the Berserk Bear Secret Medicine Recipe that Zhuge Xiang presented only listed the required medicinal materials and the effects of the Pill, but omitted the refining steps. Otherwise, if the other party refused, wouldn't he have given him a Pill recipe for nothing?

"Storage space?" The three Deity Transformation Stage Cultivators from the Medicine King Hall were all surprised to see that Zhuge Xiang had simply taken something out of the Void, rather than from Storage Artifact.

Qi Refining Stage Cultivator do not have Divine Sense, so they naturally cannot mobilize the power of Heaven and Earth. This storage space is actually a small space created by Deity Transformation Stage Cultivator using their Divine Sense, which can be considered a unique method of Deity Transformation Stage Cultivator.

But Zhuge Xiang, who hasn't even reached the Deity Transformation stage, actually possesses his own storage space? Indeed, a person's reputation precedes them; Zhuge Xiang's immense fame in Yanling Commandery is truly well-deserved.

The look of surprise flashed across the old man's eyes, but his expression remained unchanged. He took the Berserk Bear Secret Medicine Recipe from Zhuge Xiang, looked down at it, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

This Pill, which can be made by a beginner fifth-grade Artifact Forger, has such a powerful effect. After taking it, one can unleash tremendous power in a short period of time, with a power comparable to a Treasure Artifact weapon.

The disciples of the Medicine King Hall primarily Pill Refining, so their combat strength is naturally much weaker. When they go out, among Cultivator of the same level, the disciples of the Medicine King Hall are definitely at the bottom. However, with the formula for the Berserk Bear Secret Medicine, the Medicine King Hall can easily produce a batch, greatly improving the safety of its disciples when they go out in the future.

A Berserk Bear Secret Medicine Recipe is incredibly valuable to the Medicine King Hall, no less than two Fire Black Lotus. However, the old man still shook his head and pushed the recipe back to Zhuge Xiang Berserk Bear Secret Medicine.

Zhuge Xiang's eyes flashed slightly. Without hesitation, he pulled open the Bag Space again and took out the Unstable Potion Recipe.

Unstable Potion Recipe: Requires a Beginner Twelve Grade Pill Alchemist, 1 Stone Glaze, 2 Moon Scar Gemstone, and 1 Immortal Spring. Effects: Can be used as an offensive consumable weapon with an attack range of 10 meters. All targets within the range will suffer 18,000 damage.

This Unstable Potion Recipe can be considered a powerful offensive Skill. You should know that even with Zhuge Xiang's strength, the attack power of his Palm Thunder attack might not reach 18,000 points. Moreover, this potion is an area-of-effect attack, while Palm Thunder is only a single-target attack.

With this Unstable Potion Recipe, the disciples of the Medicine King Hall would be able to protect themselves in front of Deity Transformation Stage Cultivator. It has to be said that the white-haired old man was tempted and couldn't wait to nod in agreement.

For the Sect like the Medicine King Hall, which specializes in Pill Refining, the two Pill formulas that Zhuge Xiang presented were irresistible temptations. However, remembering the requirements he had already made in his heart, the old man suppressed his impulse and pushed the formulas back to Zhuge Xiang.

Zhuge Xiang could clearly feel the anger rising within him, but he still suppressed his rage. With a flick of his hand, he took out another Pill formula from the Void, which was the Sun Water Recipe.

"Alright, young friend Zhuge, don't take any more..." However, before Zhuge Xiang could hand over the Sun Water Recipe, the old man hurriedly spoke up, stopping Zhuge Xiang's actions. If he didn't speak up and continued to watch, the old man was afraid that he would be unable to resist agreeing to his request.

"What does this mean? If you don't want to give me the Fire Black Lotus, just say so. Why play games with me like this?" Zhuge Xiang asked the old man, his eyes sharp as knives. His voice was calm, but anyone could hear the chill in his tone.

The old man remained expressionless, seemingly unaware of Zhuge Xiang's anger, and said, "Young friend Zhuge, you misunderstand. If I didn't value you, why would I have rushed over upon hearing of your arrival?"

The old man's words calmed Zhuge Xiang's anger considerably. Indeed, the old man had arrived shortly after he sat down; would he have been in such a hurry simply to toy with him?

"So what do you mean? No need for riddles?" Holding all three formulas in his hands, Zhuge Xiang quietly looked at the old man in front of him and asked.

"We don't want a single one of these Pill formulas. We have only one request: when you enter the Hundred Emperors Tomb, please grant our Medicine King Hall a spot. There's something important that our Medicine King Hall has lost there, and we must retrieve it. Furthermore, we hope you will do everything in your power to help us find that item..."

"Just two Fire Black Lotus, yet you need one of my spots, and you also have to plan my subsequent actions. Do you think this kind of deal is appropriate?" Leaning back slightly, Zhuge Xiang asked, staring at the old man.

Yes, he did want the Fire Black Lotus, and Zhuge Xiang could accept exchanging it for a spot. However, he couldn't accept the condition that Zhuge Xiang would do his best to help them in the Hundred Emperors Tomb. Zhuge Xiang was not at the point of selling his freedom for two Fire Black Lotus.

"Hehehe..." The old man remained leisurely, smiling kindly without getting angry. "Young men these days are truly impetuous. At least let me finish speaking. In exchange, our Medicine King Hall promises you, young friend, that as long as our Medicine King Hall exists, we will provide you with two Fire Black Lotus every month. How about that?"

"Oh? It seems your Medicine King Hall has its own cultivated Fire Black Lotus..." The old man's words made Zhuge Xiang's brow furrow and heart skip a beat. He had to admit, Zhuge Xiang was genuinely tempted by this offer. Two Fire Black Lotus every month? Wouldn't he be able to produce two bottles of Super Spirit Qi Secret Medicine every month then?

"I'm very curious, what exactly did your Medicine King Hall leave behind in the Hundred Emperors Tomb?" The price the Medicine King Hall paid was indeed considerable, which further piqued Zhuge Xiang's curiosity. What could possibly be so valuable that the Medicine King Hall would be willing to pay so much for Fire Black Lotus?

"This... I can only tell you after you agree, young friend," the old man from the Medicine King Hall shook his head, keeping Zhuge Xiang in suspense. But thinking about it, it made sense; the things left behind by the Medicine King Hall must be extraordinary, so why would he easily leak the news?

"Alright, I, Zhuge Xiang, agree." After a moment's thought, Zhuge Xiang knew that agreeing meant he would be in big trouble, but the offer of two Fire Black Lotus every month was a Zhuge Xiang temptation.

"Haha, good, with your words, young friend, I feel much more at ease," the old man from the Medicine King Hall nodded and smiled after receiving Zhuge Xiang's approval.

"Alright, now can you tell me what that is?" Seeing the old man's delighted laughter, Zhuge Xiang couldn't help but interrupt him. (To be continued...)
