Chapter 81 - Beifeng Country! The Capital!
The alchemy sect was an extremely large sect in the Middle East, and their strength was not weaker than the Divine Medicine Valley in the southern region.
In fact, they were even stronger than the Divine Medicine Valley. If such a sect could not even diagnose her mother"s illness, then what right did Xuan Yi have to say that he could do it?
Yan Qing"s thoughts were not without reason. Judging from the long history of seeking medical treatments, the illness of the Queen of the Beifeng country was indeed very difficult to treat. It was as if they had searched through the entire Middle East for famous doctors, but without a doubt, none was unable to diagnose it.
That Xuan Yi was only slightly stronger, but when it came to treatment, he might not necessarily be as powerful as the people from those small medical shops.
Jiang Yiyi retorted, "Since you"re so sure that senior can"t treat her, why don"t you treat her?"
Yan Han was instantly rendered speechless.
But he had already made up his mind. When he reached the Beifeng country, if Xuan Yi could not cure the Queen, he would wait and see how he could expose Xuan Yi!
Xuan Yi did not feel much towards his denial. If he could not help, then so be it. Could Yan Han still kill him?
Seeing that Yan Han knew this princess, Xuan Yi did not say anything more.
On the other hand, when Xuan Yi was questioned, w.a.n.g Hu"s face was filled with displeasure.
But when he received Xuan Yi"s gaze, he did not say anything.
After finis.h.i.+ng all the precious medicinal soup, the group set off on their way to Beifeng country.
The wilderness forest was very close to the Beifeng country, and was close to the border of the Beifeng country.
As soon as they exited the wilderness forest, everyone could smell the stench of blood.
It could be seen that a huge battle had just occurred here.
The ground was covered in blood, but there were rarely any corpses. Even if there were corpses, they would only be rotten corpses that stank.
The rest were basically eaten up by demonic beasts.
When Jiang Yiyi saw this, her heart could not help but wail in sorrow.
The Beifeng country had been embroiled in war with the surrounding countries for many years, and the commoners were the ones who suffered the most.
But because of the size of the country, the war had never been reduced in the slightest because of the survival of the people.
Along the way, they saw countless b.l.o.o.d.y scenes, and very quickly, they reached the nearest courier station.
There were all kinds of faces in the courier station. There were women in the dust, heroes in the chaotic world, merchants, and so on.
After resting for a while, the group continued on their journey.
After traveling for several days, they finally arrived at the capital of the Beifeng country.
The northern capital.
This city was different from the ones they had seen along the way, be it in terms of attire or the degree of luxury, it was much more prosperous than the cities they had seen along the way.
High walls, vendors, and a solemn army.
Jiang Yiyi had her special princess token. The journey was smooth as she arrived at the imperial city.
Xuan Yi and w.a.n.g Hu were arranged to wait in the side hall.
"Master, are you confident that you can cure her mother"s illness?"
It was w.a.n.g Hu"s first time coming to such a luxurious place, but he did not feel uncomfortable at all. This was mainly in the southern region"s Xuan Sword sect, Xuan Yi"s residence was much more luxurious than this one.
This room was filled with some gold and silver treasures, emitting a golden light.
However, other than gold and silver treasures, there was nothing special.
However, what was placed in Xuan Yi"s residence were not these. Those were treasures, pills, spirit tools and weapons, and even some holy items that would cause countless people to fight over if they were casually thrown out!
It could be said that any of the treasures in Xuan Yi"s residence could easily replaced this room full of gold and silver treasures.
Hence, w.a.n.g Hu"s attention was not on the luxurious room at all. In fact, he even felt that it was a little rustic.
However, the eunuch who was waiting in the side hall did not think so.
When he saw that Xuan Yi and w.a.n.g Hu were unmoved by the luxurious room, he was secretly surprised. What kind of background did these two have to be so calm.
He knew that not to mention ordinary people, even some of the rich and powerful would be slightly surprised when they came to the side hall. The room was simply too luxurious, as if it was made out of a pile of jewels.
This was also something that the king had intentionally done.
The side hall was a place that the royal family used to entertain guests, so they naturally could not lose face. This way of dressing could reveal a little bit of the Beifeng country"s wealth and foundation, and intimidate the guests. After all, the guests received here were usually envoys from other countries.
The eunuch was surprised, and could not help but size up Xuan Yi and w.a.n.g Hu.
Their auras were indifferent and their expressions were calm.
He had been here for many years and had never seen anyone with such an aura. He even had a feeling that the luxurious side hall was not worthy of the two of them.
Xuan Yi said calmly, "Without seeing the patient, how would I know if the illness can be cured?"
w.a.n.g Hu smiled awkwardly, "Master, I"ll make you some tea."
...
In the main hall, the King, Jiang Zhan, had a dark expression on his face.
Jiang Yiyi had already told him everything, including the matter of exchanging her body for the demonic core. This made Jiang Zhan felt extremely humiliated. However, Jiang Yiyi said that the person did not accept it, which made Jiang Zhan sigh in relief.
However, that person said that he could cure the Queen.
He could not believe it, and even felt that Jiang Yiyi had been deceived.
In addition, Yan Han had added some embellishments on the side, which made Jiang Zhan even more skeptical of Jiang Yiyi.
"Nonsense!"
Jiang Zhan shouted loudly.
"It"s nonsense to go to the wilderness forest. Now, you even brought this unknown person to the imperial capital. It"s even more nonsense in the midst of nonsense."
"Do you know that the imperial capital is the lifeblood of the entire Beifeng country? If the person you brought here had other intentions, it would be a disaster for the entire Beifeng country!"
"A trip to the wilderness forest and the death of the foundation establishment phase Elder Kui, you still haven"t come to your senses!"
"Hurry up and face the wall!"
To save the Queen, Jiang Zhan had been running around for a long time. How could he not know the difficulty.
Now, Jiang Yiyi brought two people with unknown origins. Jiang Zhan didn"t believe that they could cure the Queen.
"What I said is true. He really can cure the mother!"
"Hmph! Bring the princess away and lock her up! Chase away those two people with unknown origins!"
Jiang Yiyi was extremely anxious, but no matter what he said, it was unable to change Jiang Zhan"s mind.
Right at this moment, Yan Han suddenly said, "King, why don"t we let them try?"
Jiang Zhan"s brows furrowed, "Why? Do you also think that they can save the Queen?"
Yan Han hurriedly knelt down and said, "That"s not the case. King, if we chase them away now, wouldn"t it be a bad reputation?"
The King understood Yan Han"s meaning after thinking for a moment. Although they knew that these two people of unknown origins would not be able to save the Queen, but the common people did not know that.
Chasing them away like this would seem very ungracious.
It would be better to let them give it a try. Not only would they leave behind the impression that the King was friendly to the common people, but also be able to let the two of them go when they were unable to cure the Queen. That way, the entire Beifeng country would naturally admire the King"s magnanimity.
In the end, even if they killed two people of unknown origins, no one would say anything. After all, they were the ones who had lied to them first.
If it wasn"t for the fact that the cultivation of these two people was not low, Jiang Zhan would have long had the intention to kill them.
But if they were allowed to cure the Queen, and there would be a lot of room for maneuvering.
Jiang Zhan waved his hand, gesturing for the soldiers who were pulling Jiang Yiyi to leave, "Let"s do it!"
