Eternal Saint Doctor - C125

Ever since Huang Po He was’ invited ‘by the guards to leave the courtyard where the Qingyang duo lived, he did not come to provoke them again. Likely, there were people who warned him to not cause trouble in the Medicine Hall during the period of time when he obtained the Alchemy List.

Regardless of the reason, Qingyang and Shangguan Mu had been quiet for a few days. During their free time, they had discussed their alchemy insights and cultivation experiences. Naturally, almost all of them were imparted to Shangguan Mu by Qingyang.

“Master, this Verdant Wood Pupil is truly mysterious. I didn’t expect it to be able to attack and defend at the initial stage. Breaking through restrictions and clearing formations, it is much stronger than any of the secret arts of a large clan.” After listening to Qingyang’s own comprehension of the Initial Stage of the Green Wood’s Sun Eye, Shangguan Mu couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

He rolled his eyes at Shangguan Mu before saying with a smile, “This Verdant Wood Yang Pupil is an ancient Immortal Soul Art, and the practitioners must have the same body of fire and wood. How many people do you think have the same body of fire and wood in the Land of the Nine Prefectures?”

Smiling mischievously, Shangguan Mu felt even more grateful towards Qingyang. If Qingyang hadn’t bestowed him with the Fire and Wood Body Fusion, he probably wouldn’t have had the chance to practice this tyrannical Immortal Tactic for the rest of his life.

Although he couldn’t release the tyrannical Grand Sun Primordial Fire like Qingyang, the Grand Sun Primordial Fire inside Shangguan Mu’s body was definitely not an ordinary fire. It was stronger than the aurous core primordial fire of most fire cultivators, since there was also the Grand Sun Primordial Fire and the Grand Sun Primordial Fire inside Shangguan Mu’s body.

“Now that you’re up against a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator, it won’t be difficult to defeat him. However, if you’re up against a Spirit Refinement cultivator, it will be a bit dangerous.” Azure Sun warned timely.

Shangguan Mu nodded; he also knew that Soul Refining was a watershed in cultivation. Even a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator would have to run on the ground, and once they stepped into Soul Refinement, they would be able to fly through the sky and reach the ground.

“If you want to fight a Spirit Refinement cultivator, there’s no need to run. You can just use the Verdant Wood Sun Pupil to directly attack his soul consciousness. If you meet a Soul Cultivator, you can just run without a second thought!” Qingyang didn’t worry too much about smart disciples; Shangguan Mu understood many things easily.

“Mu Er understands, Master.” Shangguan Mu was about to open his mouth to say something, but he heard someone knocking on the door. Under Qingyang’s instructions, he quickly got up and walked out.

“Master Shangguan.” After opening the bronze door, one of the guards respectfully said, “Tomorrow is the first day of the medicinal ranking competition. These are the clothes that Mister Tai Yi needs to wear tomorrow.”

After receiving the fiery red robe, Shangguan Mu thanked the guard, and the guard bowed and took his leave.

“I didn’t expect the South Rong family to have such a thing. Even their clothes and accessories have to be unified.” After handing the long robe to Qingyang, Shangguan Mu smiled and said, “Master, please try it on first.”

Unable to bear Shangguan Mu’s grind, Qingyang had no choice but to wear the red dress. It was made of quite a good material, it was worn to the point that it was light and smooth, and should have been woven from snow silk.

“It seems that the Nan Rong family has spent quite a bit of effort to curry favor with the alchemists who are participating in this Medicine Ranking. The fire resistance of the clothes woven from snow silk is extremely high and the price is not cheap.” After muttering to himself in a low voice, Qingyang also walked into the inner hall, standing in front of Shangguan Mu with a confident smile on his face as he asked: “Mu’er, what do you think?”

Shangguan Mu was slightly surprised. After a while, he burst into laughter. “Master, you, what you’re wearing is definitely going to be the highlight of the day, hahaha.”

Shangguan Mu’s laughter naturally made Qingyang extremely depressed. Although he didn’t know why Shangguan Mu burst into laughter, it was definitely not a good thing. The word “bright spots” was also a derogatory term.

Staring at Shangguan Mu, who was clutching his belly and laughing out loud, Qingyang walked over to the bronze mirror. The more he looked at the bronze mirror, the stranger his expression became.

If it was Qingyang, then there was no need to even mention his original appearance, he would naturally be elegant and dashing, a handsome man who could mesmerise countless ignorant girls. However, now that Qingyang was wearing a fiery-red robe, his originally black skin had scars on it, and his facial features were not very pretty.

“Forget it, I’m not here for a blind date. If I’m ugly, then so be it.” Helplessly, he took off his red robe. Qingyang also felt that it would be better to wear it tomorrow.

Although the red robe was taken off, Shangguan Mu still treated it as a joke. He didn’t stop for a day, which made Qingyang extremely depressed. He went back to his room early to meditate and cultivate, not bothering to pay attention to his disciple.

The next morning, just as the two of them finished absorbing the morning purple energy, they heard someone knocking on the door. When they opened the door, they saw that it was the same guard who had delivered the clothes yesterday.

“Sir Shangguan, Mister Tai Yi, the medicine leaderboard is about to begin. I would like to invite the two of you to follow me.” After bowing, the guard said.

“You’re going to start so early?” After all, it was still too early for the morning sun to be rising.

“Shangguan Gongzi doesn’t know that His Majesty came to the Medicine Board today. There are still some simple rituals that need to be performed, so it was a little early.” The guard explained in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

“Then wait for us to change clothes.” Qingyang and Shangguan Mu nodded before returning to their room to change into the fiery red robe they had worn the day before.

As expected, within a few breaths of time, Shangguan Mu burst into laughter again.

Coughing helplessly twice, Qingyang walked out of the room with a depressed expression and said to the guard, “Please lead the way.”

“Master, you will definitely be able to win today. Regardless of anything else, just your free and easy bearing alone, and your melancholy face combined with the fiery-red robe will cause you to laugh out loud.” Shangguan Mu quickly caught up to Qingyang, but he didn’t forget to make fun of him.

The corner of his mouth twitched slightly. That guard also took a deep breath and softly said, “The two of you, please follow me.”

Seeing that the guard was trying his best to hold back his laughter, Qingyang was naturally even more depressed. He thought that if his appearance was matched with the guard’s outfit, it would be extremely unsightly. He couldn’t blame Shangguan Mu and the guard for acting like this.

Qingyang also lowered his head in silence as he let out a low sigh. However, the three of them were not the only ones walking along the road. Many passers-by also threw peculiar looks at Qingyang and chuckled softly.

“Two sirs, the medicine concocting area is right ahead. I will bring you two to this place.” Just as Qingyang was about to lose his patience, the guard suddenly spoke up.

He then bowed and left, not forgetting to take another look at Qingyang before the guard left, making him even more depressed.

After coughing twice, Shangguan Mu returned to his normal self. He patted Qingyang’s shoulder skillfully and said in a deep voice, “Subordinate, do not be too concerned about others’ attention. Let’s go in.”

After calming himself down, Qingyang also knew that he was about to take the first step on his path of revenge. Just as Shangguan Mu said, he couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to the gazes of others as he wholeheartedly put his heart into the pill ranking battle that was about to begin.

“Nan Rong, the little foreign delegate of the Dongfang family came.”
