Chapter 38: The King of Medicine

在岸邊曬著太陽。“這是太古巨鱷，是太古異種！”龍雪怡急忙說道：“你看他們的鱗甲。”沈翔仔細一看，隻見這些巨鱷上的鱗甲黝黑髮亮，看起來就好像是黑寶石被打磨過一樣，和普通的巨鱷不同。岸邊的巨鱷最大的一條長達五十多丈，那粗壯的身軀橫躺在那裡，旁邊還有其他體型較小的巨鱷，看起來十分震撼。“這些傢夥厲害嗎？”沈翔變成一隻蝴蝶，飛到空中，之前他也是用這種辦法，才能安全進入那十天聖山的。“很厲害，你少惹就是了，...Chapter 38 - Duan Wang

"Young Master Shen, please consider my previous invitation! This is a great opportunity you must take seriously!" The beautiful eyes of Hua Yue Yun conveyed a hint of pleading.

Hua Yue Yun left. Shen Luzong stared at Shen Xiang in a strange way and asked softly, "Boy, she's the house owner of Duanxiang Tao Yuan. But in front of you, she doesn't have any airs at all. Moreover, what did she invite you for"

Shen Xiang replied, "She invited me to enter Duanxiang Tao Yuan. But I wish to enter Ta Wu Sect, so I declined her invitation."

"What" Shen Luzong was taken aback, then he harshly knocked on Shen Xiang's head and continued, "Duanxiang Tao Yuan is a holy land that alchemists long for. You actually refused."

Shen Xiang touched his head, which was hurt by the knock and said with a curled mouth, "Old ancestor Shen, she's only an attendant at Duanxiang Tao Yuan. Many people have fallen for her tricks and entered there. I won't do such a stupid thing! Entering an academy is very important, and I wish to enter a school that I like.

"Once you become disciples of those schools, you can't leave them unless they expel you. But people who are expelled by the school aren't accepted by other schools either, so I'm very cautious about this.

Shen Xiang received alchemy techniques from Su Meiyao, and he had Dragon Scented Perfume to accelerate the growth of Spirit Plants. He didn't need to enter Duanxiang Tao Yuan, so he wished to enter Ta Wu Sect, a school with solid foundation.

Not long after that, two alchemists came knocking. Shen Luzong was responsible for screening them. When the alchemist came, he would first look at Golden Spirit Fruit, and then Shen Luzong proudly took out the Golden Spirit Fruit. When he saw how envious that alchemist was, Shen Luzong was secretly pleased.

Shen Luzong usually let them show him the medicinal pills they had made first, then asked them to make a batch of medicinal pills with middle-grade quality. He would judge their level by the appearance and time needed for the pill formation.

To Shen Lutzon's dismay, although there were around ten people who came applying, only about three of them could be considered alchemists, and even then, they couldn't meet the requirement. Most of them were just looking for trouble.

Shen Xiang wasn't in a hurry because many alchemists were inside seclusion, still unaware of the news. He guessed that more than a few alchemists who belonged to different forces in the capital would come applying within several days.

Shen Xiang was only looking for four good alchemists, and two Golden Spirit Fruit would be enough to keep them busy here for a while. Once Duan Wang Pavilion became strong, he wouldn't have trouble attracting more alchemists.

As usual, Shen Xiang left early and came back late. He practiced in the evening, made medicinal pills during daytime at Duan Wang Pavilion, and came back three days later from the deep mountains outside the city. However, he saw many old men with white hair gathered in front of Duan Wang Pavilion's shop.

The sky just dawned, and the shop was closed. Therefore, those applying alchemists only had to patiently wait. Even though they were usually high and mighty as alchemists, no matter how much Spirit Money was in front of them, they wouldn't be moved. But when it came to rare spirit plants that couldn't be bought with Spirit Money, they treated them as treasures.

The shop name was already decided by Shen Xiang. It would be called Duan Wang Pavilion as long as they had enough medicinal pills in stock!

Having Shen Luzong, the experienced alchemist sitting inside, attracted many alchemists for Duan Wang Pavilion.

When they opened the shop, those ten alchemists hurriedly greeted Shen Luzong. From the faint warmth in their aura, Shen Xiang estimated that these were ordinary alchemists who couldn't refine Essence Pills. Except for two of them, their essence qi wasn't pure enough to refine High-grade Alchemy Pills.

Those mediocre alchemists usually came to try their luck. Although they knew that the requirement would be very strict, Shen Xiang followed them inside after they entered.

At that moment, an old man with yellow hair full of wrinkles walked in. He shouted loudly when he came inside, "Manager here! Come out!"

When the old man shouted, his body emitted a wave of pure fire qi that shocked those ten alchemists. Because this level of fire qi was something they longed for, they could be sure that the old man with yellow hair must be an alchemist and a very famous one. However, most of the alchemists didn't show themselves often. They were only known by name.

Shen Xiang walked out and replied, "Yes. I'm the manager here. Why do you want to see me"

Everyone knew that Duan Wang Pavilion belonged to the Shen Family, and Shen Xiang was mainly responsible for it.

The old man with yellow hair looked disdainfully at Shen Xiang and said proudly, "I order you to change the name of this shop immediately! You're not qualified to use Duan Wang Pavilion as its name!"

Shen Xiang narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Why I don't have a problem with this name. If you're causing trouble, then be prepared for my courtesy!"

The old man with yellow hair looked at Shen Xiang contemptuously and said coldly, "Old man I is the Duan Wang, so I don't allow you to use this name for your shop."

Duan Wang

When Shen Luzong and those old alchemists who came applying heard the two words, they were all stunned. Among all十幾億 people in Southern Wu Country, there was indeed an alchemist whose ability with alchemy techniques was very high. He was crowned as Duan Wang, and he had a relationship with the Medicine Family.

Right now they could be sure that this proud old man was Nan Wu Country's Duan Wang - Meng Bo!

Shen Xiang wasn't unfamiliar with this name. He often heard it when he was young, and now seeing him in person, he quickly guessed that Medicine Family must have brought Duan Wang over to cause trouble.

Shen Xiang frowned, this matter was complicated. He took the name Duan Wang Pavilion to make the shop sound majestic, and now true Duan Wang came over and smashed his reputation.

"Humph, relying on this guy to call himself Duan Wang" Su Meiyao's contemptuous voice rang in Shen Xiang's mind.

Shen Xiang was slightly alarmed. Then he realized that there were ranks among alchemists too, and his eyes brightened as he mocked Meng Bo, "Humph! Relying on you to call yourself Duan Wang You have the capability to show off in big schools Or else, see if others would kill this old fool who's unaware of the difference between heaven and earth!"

When mentioning big schools, other alchemists' faces were filled with longing. Knowing that the alchemists inside those big schools were more powerful, Meng Bo wouldn't dare to call himself Duan Wang in front of them. He could only show off inside this country where there were only common people.

Meng Bo's face turned red, obviously he was enraged. He didn't expect that a little kid like Shen Xiang would dare to humiliate him in front of his face. However, he couldn't refute and realized that the difference between him and those big schools' alchemists was very great. He would only be a nobody there.

Seeing Meng Bo's red face, Shen Xiang continued, "Since you're proud of your skill with alchemy techniques being very high, let's have a competition. Let the other alchemists here judge who wins."

"Of course… It's a competition, so there should be some stakes. If I lose, I'll give you one Golden Spirit Fruit. But if you lose"pter 1271: Blood PoolThe Immortal Fruit is a remarkable fruit that can rejuvenate one's life force.
