Chapter 909 The Power of Zhenhai
“Master, where are we going?” Zhao Juexian asked.
He had stayed in Medicine City like a loyal servant in the past few months.
“Let’s go to the Zhenhai State. If that old man of the Wu family said there’s Heavenly Medicine, I’ll have to check it out myself,” Chen Fan said lazily.
The carriage turned around and went towards the Zhenhai State.
Chen Fan also started going over the things he got in that couple of months.
He took seven Heavenly Medicines, ten Quasi-Heavenly Pills and a Heavenly Pill of Earth Essence, which was a real Heavenly Pill and was much more powerful than the Mixed-essence Heavenly Pill.
“Whoos.h.!.+”
The Heavenly Pill of Earth Essence turned into a yellow Qilin the size of a soccer ball and let out some sounds. It seemed to be really dissatisfied and started running around the carriage trying to get out, but was stopped by the array on the walls.
“Don’t waste your energy. That’s an array I drew myself. You’ll never be able to break it, unless you become a Heavenly Lord.” Chen Fan yawned and tidied up the Heavenly Medicines.
The little Qilin widened its eyes and looked enraged.
“I made you and you disobey me? I’ll eat you if you make me angry,” Chen Fan threatened it.
The little Qilin was terrified and it backed away into a corner.
Chen Fan didn’t have any idea how he would use the Heavenly Pill of Earth Essence. He needed Divine Medicines to complete the nine transformations of the Deity Wheel and ordinary Heavenly Pills weren’t quite useful.
“But it might be useful if I have more of it.”
Chen Fan counted his stock.
Qijue Dragon Herb, Illusional Divine Wood, Silver Heavenly Lotus… All those were Heavenly Medicines. The Fruits of Kunyuan accounted for the most. There were five of them after adding up those from the Two World Peak.
Looking at the Fruits of Kunyuan, the little Qilin opened its mouth and was drooling.
Chen Fan ignored it and continued counting.
“The fifteen Heavenly Medicines, twenty three Quasi-Heavenly Pills and other medicines I got from the Two World Peak and Medicine City are enough for me to push my Azure Thearch Longevity Art to the Great Perfection State. By then, I’ll be just half a step away from completing the second transformation of the Deity Wheel.”
Thinking of this, Chen Fan’s eyes brightened.
“I need more Heavenly Medicine.”
He looked at the direction of the Wu family.
The black carriage, black horse and old man in black outfit had already become Che Fan’s symbols. All the senior members of the Beihuang Region had already been made aware that Chen Fan had left the State of Ancient Medicine.
Many families in the Feipeng County heard about it and immediately found Chen Fan; all of them eagerly asking to pay them a visit.
Chen Fan didn’t reject them.
He sent out a message.
He would help in making pills to whoever gave him Heavenly Medicine. All the strange and rare recipes seemed easy to him. The Meng family of the Feipeng County took out an ancient recipe.
That recipe was called the “Tians.h.i.+ Pill.”
It was a medicine the Heavenly Lords in ancient times used to enhance their powers and True Essence. It was effective also to Nascent Soul Cultivators. For Golden Core Cultivators, the pill could even help them increase the level of their Golden Cores and was as useful as a Heavenly Pill.
“Our ancestor got this recipe over five thousand years ago. Although the ingredients are easy to find, it’s difficult to make. The elders and Guild Masters of the Alchemy Guild have come and tried before, but none of them succeeded. I heard that it’s because the techniques they used in the ancient times are completely different from ours and have been lost,” the leader of the Meng family explained.
“Hm.”
Chen Fan nodded and glanced over the recipe. He found that the ingredients were indeed some simple Treasure Medicines and could be found in the markets of Medicine City.
“I can make the pill for you,” Chen Fan said and the members of the Meng family were thrilled.
“But what are you giving me in return?”
The members of the Meng family looked at one another and their leader said, “Our ancestor loved traveling and collected many recipes along the way. Unfortunately, most of them are incomplete and the intact ones are hard to understand. The recipe of the Tians.h.i.+ Pill is the best we have. If you don’t mind, we can offer you all the recipes.”
“Great!” Chen Fan replied after a while.
Even though Planet Tianhuang was a far-off planet, the local Alchemy Arts must have something good about it. Chen Fan could find out the mystery of the ancient alchemy of the planet. Then, there would be no more secrets before him.
Making Tians.h.i.+ Pills was difficult for the alchemists on Planet Tianhuang, but it was a piece of cake for Chen Fan.
The news about the Meng family succeeding in making a Tians.h.i.+ Pill astonished the entire Beihuang Region.
“The Tians.h.i.+ Pill is known as one of the top ten rare recipes of the Beihuang Region. Chen Beixuan is indeed the King of Elixirs. His Alchemy Arts are incredible!”
Countless people were stunned.
Then, not only the large sects and families, even some Heavenly Lord Families had to do something. The leader of the Wu family sent three groups of people to urge Chen Fan to visit them quickly.
After all, Chen Fan wasn’t in a hurry. Those families might not be Heavenly Lord Families, but they were all powerful and could offer him some Heavenly Medicine and Quasi-Heavenly Medicine.
He made pills for the families and absorbed the energy inside the Heavenly Medicine along his journey. The image of the Divine Tree on the Deity Wheel became more and more concrete and half of its shape had been formed. Chen Fan also started to gain fame in the Beihuang Region.
When he completed the third rare recipe, his t.i.tle of the King of Elixirs was completely recognized.
Then, even the Sect Masters of the top sects, who were more powerful than Zhao Juexian, had to respect Chen Fan. Zhao Juexian also found Chen Fan to be even more mysterious.
“He knows a lot of Dharma Spells and he doesn’t seem like an ordinary person. Even his Alchemy Arts are quite terrifying. Who exactly is he? What kind of master can nurture such a peerless elite?”
Zhao Juexian’s heart sank.
On the other hand, something happened on their way to the Wu family. Chen Fan pa.s.sed through the “Flying Feather Sect” in the Zhenhai State. They wanted Chen Fan to make some Heavenly Wing Formation Pills for them, but they couldn’t give him any Heavenly Medicine. So, their Sect Master and seventeen Golden Core elders besieged the carriage and tried to abduct him.
Zhao Juexian resisted the attack from the eighteen mid-stage Golden Core Cultivators for a few seconds and the Overlords from the surrounding sects finally went to the rescue. The Flying Feather Sect retreated, but Zhao Juexian was also severely injured.
After hearing about it, the Wu family was enraged.
Their Ancestral Patriarch, Wu Wendin even went to the Flying Feather Sect in person. He sucked in everything within five hundred miles around the sect into a Quasi-Heavenly Treasure, the “Sea-swallowing Cauldron.” The Sect Master, the disciples and over a hundred Golden Core Cultivators became water.
When the news was spread, the Beihuang Region was stirred.
Everyone was surprised by the courage of the Flying Feather Sect and was even more astonished by Wu Wendin’s power.
“The Flying Feather Sect wasn’t a small sect. They ruled over eight cities and were as powerful as the royal family of a Barren Region. There were a hundred Golden Core Cultivators and over a hundred thousand Connate Cultivators, but none of them survived. Wu Wendin is frightening. He’s indeed the Ancestral Patriarch of the Wu family and one of the top ten Overlords in the Beihuang Region,” someone exclaimed.
“Yeah, Wu Wendin is almost three thousand years old and n.o.body knows how powerful he is. His True Essence might be as strong as that of a Heavenly Lord. Together with his Quasi-Heavenly Treasure, the Sea-swallowing Cauldron, even the elites of the Longevity Roll would fear him… But this isn’t the most terrifying thing. The real trump card of the Wu family is the Heavenly Treasure left by Heavenly Lord Zhenhai, the ‘Zhenhai Tripod Cauldron."”
Many people were anxious.
A Heavenly Lord Family was powerful enough to level the Beihuang Region. The Wu family wasn’t even the most powerful one among all of them. There was also a real historical family, the w.a.n.g family!
But some people had discovered something else.
“Chen Beixuan doesn’t seem to be powerful, except that he has a servant. Does it mean that we can take him away if we’re not afraid of the Ancestral Patriarch of the Wu family?”
A lot of people started to wonder.
After leaving the Flying Feather Sect, Chen Fan finally arrived at the Wu family territory.
As an old Heavenly Lord Family, the Wu family was located in the ocean, which was a hundred miles wide. The ancestral ground of the family was a thousand feet underneath the ocean.
Pa.s.sing through a water tunnel, a magnificent ancient city that covered an area of a hundred acres appeared in front of Chen Fan. An invisible dome-shaped curtain repelled the water from the city area.
“This city was moved from a few hundred thousand miles away and into the bottom of the ocean by our ancestors. There’s an entrance under the city that connects to the North Sea. Some North Sea Monsters came through the entrance every few centuries in the past and tried to attack the Beihuang Region, but we stopped them all,” Wu Qinyan said with a hint of arrogance.
A Heavenly Lord Family wasn’t just a symbol of power, but a responsibility. The Wu family called themselves “Zhenhai” and they could only rule the Beihuang Region because of their pride.
“Pretty good.”
Even Chen Fan was satisfied.
After entering the city, the leader of the Wu family and many elders went to welcome them. They were truly the reason why a Heavenly Lord Family was powerful. There were dozens of peak-stage Golden Core Grand Perfected Cultivators and eight Overlords at the State Lord level.
The leader of the Wu family even had a superior-grade Golden Core and his power was unpredictable. And yet, what terrified Zhao Juexian the most was the troops lining up in the water.
There were seven Zhenhai Troops and every one of them was more powerful than the army of the Blood Fiends. They could easily conquer a lot of Barren Regions.
“They’re too powerful. They’re terrifying.”
Zhao Juexian’s hands were shaking.
“What do you think? Our family is pretty impressive, right?” Wu Wendin asked.
“It’s fine.”
Chen Fan nodded.
The troops and elders of the Wu family were easy to deal with in Chen Fan’s eyes, but the old arrays around the city and the black tripod cauldron that was a thousand feet tall made him narrow his eyes.
Wu Wendin burst into laughter and invited Chen Fan into the city.
Chen Fan stayed with the Wu family for a dozen days.
The Wu family took out eight Heavenly Medicines and Chen Fan also made them a cauldron of Water Essence Heavenly Pills in return. Those pills were enough to guarantee the Wu family thousands of generations of elites and superior-grade Golden Cores.
Wu Wendin was content and he wanted to introduce Wu Baisu and her sister to Chen Fan, but Chen Fan rejected him.
On the day Chen Fan was leaving.
Wu Baisu and her sister went to see him.
“There will be a gathering among the younger generations near Linjiang City. It has been held for dozens of generations and it happens once every century. By then, not only people from the Beihuang Region will come, but also those from the other Heavenly Regions and large sects. Would you like to join us?”
