Castle of Black Iron

Among the three people, Sun Tiancheng"s response was more exaggerating. After sniffing the air for a couple of times like a monkey, that old urchin gazed at one jade case with a dubious look as he scratched his face, “That"s strange. I"ve not smelt such a fragrance before. That"s impossible! I could identify over 100,000 herbal medicines and poisons even if they were mixed with each other. What"s inside this jade case? It"s so strange…”

Compared to Sun Tiancheng"s straightforwardness, Du Zhongling silently touched his beautiful long beard in a reserved manner but with a confused look.

Fei Zhengtao slightly changed his face; however, he remained silent.

Among the 3 people, only Fei Zhengtao immediately recognized what was inside the jade case. Fei Zhengtao must have seen it in the imperial warehouse. As for the other two, although they were still national level doctors, they didn"t have a chance to contact such an item.

Zhang Tie told them the answer directly, “Each jade case contains a cross-realm flower"s fruit. I"d like to extend my grat.i.tude to you with them. Without your help, I might have already died. Of course, I"m clear about my sickness. Since G.o.d didn"t want me to die, he sent you to save me. The effect of the thunder of nirvana couldn"t be solved by average medical pills and skills, as you"ve already exerted your utmost efforts to cure me, I will deal with it myself. Sincerely and hopefully, you could take my gift!”

Fruits of cross-realm flowers?

After hearing the answer, Sun Tiancheng and Du Zhongling both were shocked. Fruits of cross-realm flowers were legendary items. Very few people across Taixia Country could have a chance to see it. It was even rarer than silver secret items. Even though the imperial palace in Xuanyuan Hill collected very few of them. Many dignitaries in the imperial palace were drooling at them.

The gift was too precious. If one fruit of cross-realm flower was to be auctioned in Gold and Power Market of Xuanyuan Hill at this moment, the entire Xuanyuan Hill might be in chaos at once. Some women would definitely do everything they could to get this item.

“Immortal, you have made great meritorious services at the risk of your life above the bank of Weishui River. It"s my responsibility and honor to treat immortal at the request of the crown prince. The fruit of cross-realm flower is too precious. This humble official dares not accept it!” As Fei Zhengtao had stayed in imperial palace for too long as the official of Taixia Country, he was a bit more meticulous. After realizing that Zhang Tie presented a fruit of cross-realm flower to each one of them, he hurriedly shook his head as he changed his face.

“Hahaha, Old Fei, if you don"t want to take it, why not give it to me?” Sun Tiancheng became straightforward and witty at this moment. After bursting out into laughter, Sun Tiancheng immediately took a jade case and teleported it into his portable s.p.a.ce-teleportation finger ring without looking inside, “This item is very useful to me. I"ve been looking for it for dozens of years. It"s out of my imagination that I could make my dream come true after coming to Xuanyuan Hill. Immortal is really forthright. Thank you so much…”

After saying that, Sun Tiancheng looked at Zhang Tie while his little nose and eyes almost stuck together, making him pretty bizarre. He then asked Zhang Tie very seriously, “Would you think that I"m especially here for your fruit of cross-realm flower?”

Zhang Tie replied with a smile, “Herbal Medicine King, you"re chivalrous, hot-blooded and righteous. You came to Xuanyuan Hill for the sake of humans in the holy war. How could I despise your temperament because you took a fruit of cross-realm flower from me? In my heart, you"re not tall, but you"re not shorter than anyone else either…”

After hearing Zhang Tie"s words, Sun Tiancheng gazed at Zhang Tie for a short while in a sophisticated look before suddenly letting out a deep sigh, “Alas, I"ve not come here in vain. Hurry, you two, don"t be hesitant any more. It"s Qianji Immortal"s sincerity. Just take it. As you both have wives, you could gift it to one of them. All the women like it. Even if you don"t gift it to your wife, you could exchange it for whateever rare medicines you want. With those rare medicines, you could make some obstacle-breaking pills, spirit-gathering pills and stars pills for yourself so that you could promote to knights easily; especially Fei Zhengtao, if your lioness knew that you didn"t bring back the fruit of cross-realm flower due to shame, you might not only kneel down on washboard…”

After hearing Sun Tiancheng"s words, Fei Zhengtao"s face blushed at once as he said bashfully, “It wouldn"t be that worse; it wouldn"t be that worse…”

When he was young, Fei Zhengtao was very poor; however, he had exceptional talent. Later on, he came to Xuanyuan Hill for learning, where he was favored by a lady in a major clan and got married to her. With the financial a.s.sistance of that major clan, Fei Zhengtao gradually made brilliant achievements in medical pills and medical science. However, at the same time, he also formed a habit——being afraid of his wife. Even though Fei Zhengtao had become an influential figure in Taixia Country and was an honored guest wherever he was in the emperor"s imperial city, he had to be docile to his wife at home. A few years ago, Fei Zhengtao stealthily married a concubine outside and made her pregnant. Later on, after being discovered by his tigeress, he faced great trouble. The lioness directly had her servants take Doctor Fei"s concubine away from Xuanyuan Hill. n.o.body knew where his concubine was hidden. It was said that Doctor Fei had to kneel down on washboard for half a year due to this reason. This event didn"t come to an end until that concubine gave birth to his baby.

Even commoners had heard about Doctor Sage"s domestic affairs in Xuanyuan Hill.

“Thanks, Immortal. Whenever you need me, just let me know. I would definitely come for you regardless of the distance…” Du Zhongling cupped his hands towards Zhang Tie solemnly. After that, he put that jade case into his portable s.p.a.ce-teleportation equipment.

After Du Zhongling took his jade case, Doctor Fei could only take his with a blush, “All right…thanks…thanks…”
