Chapter 672 -195 Huang Wan’er: Chen 94, You PUA Me (10,000 Words Subscription Request)_3
Chen Jie had once wondered, was Mianshui such an insignificant place that two direct disciples were sent to establish Yihong House here?
Now he understood, it was probably not only about dealing with the court but also about monitoring the Medicine King Treasure in Mianshui River. If that was the case, Chen Jie could make sense of it.
“The old drunkard’s interest is not in the wine itself,” he thought to himself.
So Mianshui was of such importance.
Contemplating this, Chen Jie asked Lord Yelu, “Lord Yelu, you have been in Mianshui for over ten years, have you ever heard of this Medicine King Treasure?”
Yelu nodded lightly and said, “I know of it. The previous Darugachi recorded in the county annals that thirty years ago, Mianshui teemed with dragons, and a meaty landmass surged from the river. Jianghu people flocked to it, and in the end, a woman seized the most precious object of the Medicine King Treasure. Since then, the Martial Arts Masters have abandoned this treasure, no longer speaking of it.”
Chen Jie frowned and said, “So you’re saying the Phoenix Transformation Pill that made Han Miaozhen successful was part of this treasure, and when this treasure was lost, the Masters lost interest in the Medicine King Treasure, right?”
Upon hearing this, Yelu said, “It should be so.”
Zhao Ya said, “That’s correct. The most precious Phoenix Transformation Pill in the Medicine King Treasure was indeed taken. Otherwise, this treasure would not have fallen to us in the Holding Core Realm to covet. It would have long been seized by Martial Arts Masters, and we wouldn’t even have the chance to set foot in it.”
“However, although most of these Elixirs have been snatched away, some medicinal herbs remain unclaimed, Ah Er.”
At Zhao Ya’s call, Ah Er approached and handed over a list.
Zhao Ya said, “This comes from a predecessor who has entered the treasure before. There’s a vast number of medicinal ingredients included in here, and what’s more, there are many Tai Sui Pills.”
“Tai Sui Pills!”
At these words, Yelu’s eyes lit up.
Who wouldn’t want the Tai Sui Pills? Those were indeed treasures.
As he pondered this, he looked at the list Zhao Ya had pulled out, only to see many high-end medicinal ingredients on it.
Chen Jie also glanced at the list, not paying it much mind at first, but as he scanned through, his eyes suddenly fixed on the name of one ingredient sandwiched among many others.
[Green Water Red Fruit]
Two of the main ingredients for refining the Qi Blood Pill that Chen Jie needed were the Green Water Red Fruit and Tai Sui Meat, and now one of these crucial main ingredients for entering the Holding Core Realm was right there on this list. Chen Jie couldn’t tear his gaze away.
Meanwhile, Yelu also examined the list and then fixated on one of the main ingredients [Blood Smoke Fruit]
This was a main ingredient for helping someone in the Holding Core Realm ascend to the Wolf Smoke Realm. Yelu had been searching for this Blood Smoke Fruit for years.
Unbelievably, it was said to be found in the Medicine King Treasure. At that moment, his heart stirred.
This medicine, I must obtain it.
And Chen Jie, looking at the Green Water Red Fruit, was determined; he must find a way into this Medicine King Treasure. From the ingredients listed, the [Green Water Red Fruit] wasn’t even considered particularly rare.
That is to say, there was a possibility that Chen Jie could acquire this treasure medicine just around the periphery and thus complete his Qi Blood Pill refinement.
Thinking this, Chen Jie remained composed.
He looked at Zhao Ya, who also needed the ingredients on the list. With the situation in the Northern battlegrounds intensifying, she wanted to obtain some of the ingredients therein to help her father stock up and prepare for future uncertainties.
It could be said that this trip to Mianshui was really aimed at the Medicine King Treasure.
Zhao Ya, seeing that Yelu was already intrigued, said, “So gentlemen, are you interested in joining this treasure hunt?”
At her words, Yelu responded, “I dare not disobey any command.”
Chen Jie also cupped his hands and said, “I am at the Commandery Princess’s disposal.”
Chen Jie understood; this was a precious entry ticket to the treasure. Such importance could not be taken lightly, for what if something went wrong?
Hearing this, Zhao Ya smiled, “Very well, prepare yourselves. The treasure should open within a month. By then, the number of those competing for it will surely not be few.”
All present nodded at her words, believing the treasure to be worth the venture, and confident of gains.
Thus, over a meal, those who would enter the treasure were confirmed, with Chen Jie and Yelu securing their entries, and together with Zhao Ya, six people from this side were set.
However, Zhao Ya was not completely reassured, for with such a treasure opening, other Jianghu forces and some other court powers would also participate.
It would be a mixed assembly of dragons and fish, where greater medicinal resource grabs would require more people to unite.
Yelu, being of the Holding Core Realm, could be utilized, and Chen Jiusi, Zhao Ya felt, had a nimble mind and would likely be of use.
Therefore, she had invited these two to join the hunt for the Medicine King Treasure.
But Zhao Ya felt it was not enough; at the time of opening, other forces would probably choose many more participants. It was destined to be a chaotic battle…
…
Outside Mianshui City, within a thatched cottage.
“Cough, cough…”
Nan Batian awoke amid coughing. After being rescued the night before, he had been unconscious until a thick smoke choked him awake.
Cough, cough…
Nan Batian opened his eyes, then saw someone in black, squatting by the stove, brewing medicine for him. From the figure’s back, he recognized the person.
“Senior Sister!”
Nan Batian called out, but the figure didn’t turn around and simply said, “You’re awake.”
“Senior Sister, how come you’re in Mianshui?”
Nan Batian asked. Then, the person stood up, turned around, and revealed a face that resembled Huang Wan’er by seventy percent.
Nan Batian was momentarily entranced by the face.
Indeed, this was his Senior Sister, Yu Man’er, an ordinary name with an extraordinarily beautiful face.
