Heavenly Dao Child - Chapter 516
“I would love to help you with our stocks but they have been contaminated as such I am at a loss on what to do.”
“The technique that you used, can you not teach us? If you can do so we can all use it to cure.”
“Sure it would take a few days for you to learn to use it with extreme precision and even if you learn it by then after half an hour from now it would not matter as they would be permanently damaged.”
The person balled his fist as Mariya spoke, “Give me the list of ingredients I ȧssure you that with my authority I will have gathered all the ingredients.”
Ryuu gave her a small nod as he spoke, “Of course but please gather enough to make a thousand pills, I would take at least five minutes and then we have to mix it with water and make them drink a sip at most, so take this bring them to me quickly.”
“I see.”
With that, the consort of the Emperor took the Jade slip as she left with her secret beau JI san, while Ryuu decided to meditate with the excuse he was conserving his energy in order to concoct the pills.
Ten minutes later the duo arrived with a load of various medicinal plants as Ryuu began to concoct the pills.
While he was waiting the members of the Vance clan had also arrived at the scene as the words of the disaster had already spread.
Sabine looked at Ryuu from a distance as Jacklyn spoke with her eyes wide, “Is he going to make pills again?”
Fang gave a nod as he spoke, “It seems so, let us witness the skill that he used to save our daughter.”
In the meantime while Fang was busy discussing with his family, Yujie who had appeared discreetly was busy looking at Mariya and Ji San as a frown formed on his face, ‘Those two seems to be too close to my liking.’, but before he could muse further on the matter he was interrupted by the timely arrival of the Royal Alchemist.
“You what are you doing? Wasting this resources how dare you foolish child.”
Ryuu according to his habit, which was developed under his teacher’s care, had raised a barrier to prevent someone from interfering with his work, but that did not prevent a certain someone banging on it like his life was on the line.
Ryuu growled as he looked towards the yelling and banging person only to receive the shock of his life.
‘Long white beard that reached the ground – check, wearing a gown – check, having a wizened and I am the most knowledgeable being in the universe look – double check, no way even after all these years…’
“How dare you brat act like that against the true master of Alchemy, wasting resources like that, how dare you! I, the Head of the Alchemist Association as well as the Royal Alchemist will not tolerate it.”
‘Oh Heaven’s they have returned, the Idiot Inc. is back with full force and vengeance.’
Ryuu composed himself as he spoke, “Are you done, we are busy people here can you stop distracting me.”
“How dare you act so brazenly like that conning this poor people with your mediocre skill and wasting precious resources can you even pay you filt… muuuhhh.”
The Royal Alchemist tirade was broken as a Deva Crystal found its way into his mouth and being only a Peak Level Immortal, the alchemist had a similar experience to a mortal who tried to ingest a lump of burning coal.
“Choke on that Deva Crystal and shut up, people need my help and if you are useless enough to only scream like some howler monkey then shut up, never have I seen a place where the ruler of the land ask for money to save his own people or are you the mastermind behind this.”
Ryuu took a deep breath to calm himself down as he spoke, “Well whatever I am busy and those around me can you make sure that I can concoct the pills in peace without any further interruption.”
YuJie quickly approached the scene as he spoke with a frown, “Please go ahead I will make sure no one interrupts you.”, as he spoke he pinned a scathing glare on the alchemist whose face looked to be badly burned by the time he managed to spit out the crystal.
They did not have to wait very long as soon after Ryuu had finished extracting the essence before he began to work on them.
Mariya went and gave a small bow towards Sabine as she spoke, “Sister Sabine it is so good you.”
Sabine smiled at Mariya as she spoke, “It is good to see you to sister, but what are you doing here.”
Mariya sighed as she spoke, “I was bored and thought about visiting the auction house but then this happened, it is a blessing of Heavens that Daoist Ryuu decided to help us but it seems like because of this cretin the Royal family’s honor is besmirched.”
Mariya glared at the Royal Alchemist before she spoke bȧrėly above a whisper, “By the way sister is that your youngest is that not?”
Sabine nodded but before she could speak her attention was drawn towards Ryuu as the pills had attracted a tribulation making those who were watching gasp in awe.
Yujie himself had a look of disbelief, in his lifetime he had seen many things but never had he seen a person so young to not only create so many pills together but even trigger a tribulation for them.
Ryuu stood up with the pills floating by his side as he spoke out loud, “Bring me a large pitcher of water, big enough to hold enough water for all of the people present here to take a sip.”
“Boss, here is a pitcher.”
Ryuu gave a nod towards Yu Wu while the pills that were floating by his side were promptly added into it as he spoke hurriedly, “Quickly feed it to the people who are poisoned just a sip is enough.”
Ji San’s mind was furiously working trying to take in and understand what he had experienced the entire day.
‘I think his name should be changed to ‘Dog shit’, not only has he brought a large financial ruin to us, but the Shangri-la is not something that you can make enemy off, they can easily deal with us I will have to restrict my son from seeing him too much as I can clearly see whose influence it is that made him dumb.’
Ji San’s eyes fell on Ryuu as he let out a small sigh, ‘What a pity he could be an excellent friend and help our family grow a bit more but the stupidity of my family members, ugh, sometimes I wish those idiots were not born.’
His eyes then travelled towards Vance clan as he gave a small bow towards Fang as he continued his internal monologue, ‘It is shame he is their son, who knows what side he might choose and I will not tolerate an unknown variable though since he helped us today I promise to make his passing as peaceful and painless as possible.’
As Ryuu started to leave he was stopped by YuJie who quickly spoke, “General Manger Ryuu, please wait.”
Ryuu stopped as he looked curiously towards Yujie who began to speak, “You do not need to pay for the ingredients please accept it and allow me to place it back in your space ring as it can be dangerous at your cultivation level.”
Ryuu looked at the Deva Crystal that was held by Yujie, the very same crystal which he had thrown at the alchemist, Ryuu could see the saliva blood and even some of the skin of that alchemist still attached to the crystal which made a look of disgust appear on his face.
“With all due respect senior I would never come near something that has been touched by that cretin who knows where his face has been.”
“But still this is a Deva Crystal and you should not waste something as valuable as it.”
Ryuu shrugged as he spoke in a rather callous manner, “It is only a Deva Crystal there is nothing to get worked up on it, and please excuse me I have some work to do so I will take my leave first.”
With that Ryuu left leaving many of the people with their jaw slacked open as Mariya spoke with disbelief, “Sister I did not hear anything wrong right he so casually disregarded a Deva Crystal as if it were a dust.”
Sabine could only give a nod as Mariya continued to speak, “Just what is his background do you know anything about it.”
Fang shook his head as he spoke with a sigh, “No we have no idea who raised him but we know they are powerful but to disregard a Deva Crystal like that is too much, from the rumors he had just had his tribulation so he must be an Immortal but still it is terrifying.”
Mariya narrowed her eyes for a moment before she spoke with a bright smile, “Since he helped not only the people of our kingdom but also saved the life of the Emperor’s only niece the Royal family would like to thank him by inviting him to the palace for lunch, how does this idea sound to you.”
Sabine’s eyes widened as she spoke with a bright smile, “Thank you sister Mariya.”
Mariya simply gave a benevolent smile before her eyes once again travelled towards the place where Ryuu had been as she unconsciously licked her lips.
‘Hmm, will he taste as good as he looks I wonder maybe I can get close to him and ensnare him with my charms he looks to have a much better back ground than many I have seen not to mention San has become boring and stale, but before that I have to take care of certain problem if only I could get my hand on him now but I will have to wait.’
Meanwhile, a certain red-haired Celestial suddenly felt as if he was being molested by some hideous creature making him shudder in disgust as the certain urge to flee to the nearest bathroom and scrub his skin raw rose within him.
