Eternal Saint Doctor - C126
Three of the areas were marked with huge banners — Big, Immortal, and Divine — while the other was a huge open space where many alchemists were gathered on a wooden platform.
It was obvious that the three regions represented the regions where the great pharmacists, immortal medicine masters and divine medicine refiners worked. However, at this moment, there were guards standing guard at the entrance of each region.
He then sighed to himself, “As expected of a gathering of medicinal masters, the field is now like a sea of red.” He sighed to himself, “As expected of a gathering of medicinal masters, the field is like a sea of red.
There were a few people gathered together. It was obvious that they were alchemists that were familiar with each other. Some of them stood alone and proud on the spot. Naturally, they were people with strange temperaments and proud characters.
“I didn’t expect that the Nan Rong Medicine Ranking would be able to attract so many people to attend.” Looking around, Qingyang realized that there were at least a thousand pharmacists in this vast martial arts testing ground.
“Although this is the Southern Champion Medicine Ranking, this is actually the biggest gathering for the medicinal masters of the Nine Provinces. Every time the Medicine Alliance sends people to attend the event.” Slightly nodding, Shangguan Mu sighed and said, “The pharmacists above the Nine Prefectures, whether it’s in name, profit, or supreme glory, will all come to compete for the top rank on this medicine board.”
“The Medicine League will also send people over?” Doubtful, Qingyang spoke. He did not expect that there was actually the figure of the Medicine Alliance behind this medicinal list.
“Yes, the alliance master of the Medicine Alliance will usually come to congratulate us. He will also absorb a portion of medicinal masters that fight for the medicinal rankings and join the Pill Alliance.” Glancing at Qingyang like he was an idiot, Shangguan Mu responded, “Entering the Medicine Alliance or working for the Royal Family, many pharmacists can live a life of luxury.”
Qingyang thoughtfully nodded his head. It seemed that there was quite a bit of water in this Nangrong Family, and there were many things that he still didn’t understand.
“His Majesty has arrived! “The chief of the Medicine Alliance is here!” Just as Qingyang was in a daze, a loud shout suddenly came from outside the field.
The pharmacists who were either chatting or resting immediately turned their attention to the entrance after they heard the shout. Qingyang and Shangguan Mu also narrowed their eyes and looked in that direction.
The two teams of blood armored guards walked into the field. They held long halberds in their hands and stood in the middle. The faint smell of blood made people not dare to look directly at them. One look was enough to tell that they were martial practitioners who had crawled out from a pile of corpses.
“I never thought that there would be 12 Xiantian realm martial artists in the two squads of 30 people. The rest are all at the peak Houtian realm.” Qing Yang was startled. He hadn’t thought that the South Rong family would be able to display such a deterrent force at the start of the match.
“Welcome, Your Majesty! Welcome, Alliance Master! ” Two squads of thirty people suddenly shouted in unison, startling the timid pharmacists beside them and forcing them to retreat.
Slowly, two people walked in. One of them was a young man dressed in dragon-phoenix robes, while the other was an old man dressed in plain clothes. The two of them chatted and laughed along the way, with a graceful demeanor.
“Humph, South Rongyan Dragon!” Qingyang swept a cold gaze across the group and naturally knew that the young man in the phoenix robe was Nan Rong and Yanlong. The anger in his heart instantly surged.
At Qingyang Village, three hundred and eighty-two people and three hundred and eighty-two ghosts were muttering in their hearts. At this moment, Qingyang’s grayish-silver eyes were faintly tinged with a blood-red color.
“Foreign Dignitary, what happened to you?” Sensing the abnormality of the Azure Sun beside him, Shangguan Mu turned around and asked quickly. He noticed that Azure Sun’s aura was slightly disordered and his blood-red pupils were also frightened.
Waking up from his stupor due to Shangguan Mu’s urgent inquiry, Qingyang froze for a moment. He took a few deep breaths and quickly suppressed the hatred in his heart.
“No worries, I just remembered something.” “Yes,” Qingyang forced a smile on his face as he responded.
Shangguan Mu nodded his head thoughtfully. He was a smart person and knew that something had happened to Qingyang since he saw Nangrong Yanlong. Some of the things that he had thought of must have been a deep grudge in Qingyang’s heart, or else he wouldn’t have turned into something like that.
However, at this moment, he was in the alchemy field of the Alchemy Board. Not to mention the ferocious and imposing martial guards, there were also many alchemists around. Therefore, Shangguan Mu secretly made a note to interrogate Qingyang when he returned.
While Shangguan Mu was making wild guesses, Qingyang was secretly surprised that he actually met Nan Rong and Yanlong. The hatred in his heart had almost destroyed his rationality. Luckily, Shangguan Mu had made a sound when he discovered the abnormality, otherwise, the consequences would have been dire.
“It seems that I need to be careful in the future. Although I have already removed more than half of the demonic barrier in my heart, I’m afraid I still have a sliver left.” After silently admonishing himself, Qingyang had also returned to his cold demeanor.
Exorcism was easier said than done. As the saying goes, evil comes from the heart. If Qingyang wanted to completely remove the evil in his heart, there were only two methods.
The first was to completely eradicate the Nan Rong family, the demonic barrier in Qingyang’s heart would naturally disappear.
Secondly, to completely see through this matter and forget about the hatred between them, is that possible? For Qingyang, the second method was even more absurd than the first method.
However, this was also Qingyang’s first time meeting Nangrong Yanlong after the incident in Qingyang Village. Thus, it was normal for him to stir up some remnants of inner demons. If he were to pay more attention in the future, it would not cause any big problems.
“Hmph, even the South Rong Yanlong has reached the Innate Realm.” After returning to his normal state, Qingyang naturally focused his attention on Nalan Yanlong. The tyrannical Nan Rong Yanlong and the genial elder slowly walked onto the wooden platform.
“Esteemed alchemists, it is truly an honor for me, Nan Rong and Yan Long, to be able to hold this competition. Not only is the medicine list a gathering of South Rong’s alchemists, it is also a gathering of all the alchemists in the Nine Prefectures and above.” After standing up a little, Nalan Rong and Yulong started his passionate speech with a smile on his face: “I believe everyone understands that the reason why I, Nalan Rong, set up the medicine list is for a better exchange between all the alchemists in the world!”
“For the dream of the pharmacist, for the dignity of the pharmacist! Please display your Alchemy talent and level to your heart’s content! ” After pausing for a while, Nan Rong and Yan Long revealed excitement on their faces. Naturally, this passion had stirred up the blood of most of the alchemists. It was as if all of them were anticipating a bright future.
“The one standing beside me is the chief of the Pill Alliance, Mu Chu, Old Mu!” The applause, which had just died down a moment ago, once again exploded out from Nan Rong and Yan Long’s words. It was obvious that this was for the alliance chief of the Medicine Association.
Compared to most of the alchemists, there were many who were willing to serve the South Rongfamily, but there were even more who were willing to join the Medicine Alliance. After all, there were still many who looked down on fame and fortune among the alchemists.
Qingyang immediately turned to look at the old man when he heard this. Previously, he had been so engrossed in paying attention to Nangrong Yanlong that he had forgotten about this alliance chief of the Medicine Alliance whom he had never met.
Qingyang didn’t believe that this ordinary and seemingly harmless old man was truly harmless. A person who could be the alliance master of the Medicine Alliance would at least be a divine medicine master. Even as a divine medicine master, he didn’t have the qualifications to become the alliance master of the Medicine Alliance.
Why? There were different levels to a Divine Alchemist. How could a person who could refine a Divine Master class pill be compared to someone who could refine five kinds of pills? Could a divine medicine master of the Spirit Refinement realm compare to a divine medicine master of the Sun God Stage?
Moreover, the Medicine Alliance was able to become a faction that transcended the three great countries without any restrictions. Qing Yang believed that it was impossible to do so with the esteemed status of a medicinal master, there would definitely be an extremely powerful force that could intimidate the three great countries.
