Becoming Famous in the Beihuang Region
← Ch.0907 | Ch.0909 → |
Chen Fan became the King of Elixirs. This was huge to the entire Beihuang Region.
Among the Heavenly Regions, the Beihuang Region wasn't the strongest. It was much weaker than the top ten Heavenly Regions, let alone the Central Sacred Land. There had only been a few powerful Overlords in the Beihuang Region throughout history, but a rare King of Elixirs suddenly appeared that day. This was exhilarating news for countless families in the region.
At the Xun family mansion, in the Zilan State of the Beihuang Region.
The Xun family was a pharmacist family and they controlled half of the medicine production in the Beihuang Region. After hearing the news, a few elders and their Ancestral Patriarch were startled. They immediately traveled to the State of Ancient Medicine to see Chen Fan.
"Ancestral Patriarch, he's just a King of Elixirs. I heard that Chen Beixuan is only an early-stage Golden Core Cultivator and Heavenly Alchemists are superior only because they're Nascent Soul Heavenly Lords as well. Why should we be so respectful?"
The leader of the Xun family, Xun Ruowang, was confused.
"You fool! No matter if he's a Heavenly Lord or not, his knowledge in alchemy is real. There's no other alchemist in the Beihuang Region who can make Heavenly Pills. Many Ancestral Patriarchs and leaders of the Heavenly Lord Families are hoping that he can help them make Heavenly Pills, " the Ancestral Patriarch of the Xun family yelled, "Besides, he's so powerful even while being so young. Who knows where he'll stand after a hundred or a thousand years? He might even become a real Heavenly Alchemist in the future."
Then, everyone was in awe.
Even Xun Ruowang gasped.
The news also reached the Xun family, the Wu family, the Hu family and the Feng family. Even the superior Wang family knew about it.
The leader of the Wang family was about to go to meet the new King of Elixirs.
The entire State of Ancient Medicine was in chaos. Local cultivators saw tons of dragons, horses, Spirit Beasts and flying ships in the sky.
"Why did the State of Ancient Medicine become so flourishing?" an elder looked up and wondered.
At the Alchemist Tower.
The new King of Elixirs, Chen Fan, was sitting at the front of the "Danyuan Hall."
Elixir Lord, Wu Wendin, the leader of the Hu family, the Ancestral Patriarchs of the Feng family and the Nin family were next to him. Only Wang Xuanlong, among all the juniors, could sit with all of them. The others, including Xu Yuan, could only sit at the back.
"He became famous in such a short time!"
Yan Wuwang looked up with jealousy in his eyes.
Elixir Lord, Wu Wendin and the others were all leaders of Heavenly Lord Families or large sects. These old men had lived at least two thousand years and were unbelievably powerful.
Ordinary State Lords or peak-stage Golden Core Grand Perfected Cultivators were like ants in front of them.
Even Hu Xiao and Wang Xuanfeng were weaker than they were. Only Wang Xuanlong, a top elite on the Longevity Roll who also had the support from the Wang family, could be on an equal footing with them. However, Chen Fan had surpassed so many families so easily. How amazing was that?
The elders of the Alchemy Guild looked at Chen Fan with a complex feeling. Elder Situ even clenched his fists and his eyes were full of anger, but he couldn't show it and could only lower his head.
"Your Alchemy Arts are incredible. When I traveled around the regions back then, I had the opportunity to meet the Alchemy King himself and see him make pills. You're almost as powerful as he is, " Wu Wendin said.
Everyone went silent.
Alchemy King was a legendary person on Planet Tianhuang and on top of all the Heavenly Lords. Even the Heavenly Sects and Divine Sects would avoid provoking him; he could level a Heavenly Lord Family anytime he wanted to.
"The rise of the King of Elixirs isn't just a big deal for the State of Ancient Medicine, but also the entire Beihuang Region. Why don't we organize a ceremony to tell everyone in the world?" someone suggested.
"Good idea." Elixir Lord nodded.
The elders of the Alchemy Guild and the Ancestral Patriarchs also agreed.
"This isn't urgent. Where's my Spirit Medicine?" Chen Fan turned around.
Elixir Lord froze for a while and said with an elegant smile, "I've already prepared everything for you. There are seven Heavenly Medicines, twenty four Quasi-Heavenly Pills, three hundred thirty nine superior-grade Treasure Medicines..."
"Only seven Heavenly Medicines?"
Chen Fan frowned.
This amount was much smaller than he expected.
He collected eight Heavenly Medicines in the Two World Peak. Being the powerful Alchemy Guild that had been established for more than ten thousand years, why did they have so little Heavenly Medicine?
"Even though the Alchemy Guild is a large organization, we also use a lot of medicines. Those Heavenly Medicines have been used to make Quasi-Heavenly Pills and superior-grade Treasure Pills, " Elixir Lord said.
"Fine, I'll take those seven Heavenly Medicines."
Chen Fan flicked his sleeve.
After getting the Heavenly Medicines, Chen Fan was about to leave the Alchemist Tower.
Still, Elixir Lord begged Chen Fan to stay to teach their disciples Alchemy Arts and even offered to give him ten Quasi-Heavenly Pills. In the end, Chen Fan agreed to stay for two weeks.
Wu Wendin grabbed Chen Fan's hands and said with a smile before he left, "When you leave the Alchemist Tower, please come to the Zhenhai State first. The Wu family will be waiting for you. Although we're not some sacred ground for alchemy, we can offer you a few Heavenly Medicines. Besides, our family is full of gorgeous ladies. I'm sure you'll never want to leave afterwards."
Wu Baisu and Wu Qinyan stood next to the old man and everyone present was discontent about him trying to take advantage of the girls' beauty!
The other leaders also came up and promised Chen Fan that they would be able to provide him with Spirit Medicine and Heavenly Medicine if he went to their houses.
Those Heavenly Lord Families were incredibly powerful.
So, Chen Fan would surely be nice to them. Only when he was talking to the Hu family did he put away his smile and give an uncertain answer. The leader of the Hu family looked angry right away.
Hu Xiao yelled furiously after getting out of the Alchemist Tower, "How dare he treat us like that! He really thinks he can do anything he wants after he became the King of Elixirs? The Hu family is a Heavenly Lord Family! The Ethereal Heavenly Sect is also a powerful sect."
The six purple talismans in Hu Xiao's eyes shone bright and there was a Dharma Form of a Four-tailed Heavenly Fox, showing how angry he was.
Violet Moon Fairy didn't say a word.
"Hm, I get that. Even though the Hu family is a Heavenly Lord Family, a King of Elixirs is also powerful. In many places, a King of Elixirs is regarded as someone who's only second to a Heavenly Lord and is also addressed as 'Your Majesty, ' which is how people address a Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord."
The leader of the Hu family, Hu Yuanshuo, grunted.
As the leader of the Hu family, Hu Yuanshuo was extremely powerful. There were nine purple talismans in his eyes, meaning that his Nine Illusions of Heavenly Fox had reached the phenomenal success level. He was way stronger than Hu Xiao and normal elites on the Longevity Roll were also inferior to him.
"Father, what should we do next? Chen Beixuan isn't a forgiving person. We offended him before and he won't make pills for us no matter how respectful we are, " Hu Xiao murmured.
Even Violet Moon Fairy looked over with a confused face.
"Haha, he'll have no choice by then. The Beihuang Region belongs to our family after all! He's only a Golden Core Cultivator."
Hu Yuanshuo looked up and cracked a smile.
In the next two weeks—
Chen Fan stayed in the Alchemist Tower to teach alchemy theory to the elders and talents of the Alchemist Tower.
The Alchemy Arts he talked about were the most basic ones in the Realm of Cultivation, but for those of the Alchemy Guild, they were eye-openers.
"Your Majesty is indeed farsighted. We're impressed."
In the end, even Elixir Lord knelt and was extremely respectful. The other elders even seemed to admire Chen Fan.
"Even if I work hard for ten thousand years more, I won't be able to surpass him, " Situ Cheng said in despair.
"Well... We might not be better than him in alchemy, but it doesn't mean that we can't beat him in other aspects, " Elder Situ mumbled.
"What do you mean, Ancestral Patriarch?" Situ Cheng was shocked.
Elder Situ shook his head and remained silent. He looked at Chen Fan with a glint of viciousness in his eyes.
In those couple of weeks, Qiao Qiao was absolutely the happiest person. She was a little princess in the Alchemy Guild right then and not even the Guild Master would have dared to get angry with her. Chen Fan even spent a lot of time traveling around Medicine City with her.
Finally, two weeks later, Chen Fan was ready to leave.
This time, no matter what Elixir Lord said, Chen Fan refused to stay. Elixir Lord had no choice but to send them a hundred miles away from Medicine City and made a promise to Chen Fan.
From then on, the Alchemy Guild would be Chen Fan's second home and they would always welcome him. As for Qiao Qiao, they would accept her as a disciple and teach her well.
"I hope so."
Chen Fan nodded.
Before he left, everyone that knew him went to send him off. Elder Chenyan apologized to Chen Fan and said he had underestimated him. Elder Situ even knelt down and cried for Chen Fan's forgiveness. Even Situ Cheng humbly admitted his mistake.
All those elders and disciples respected Chen Fan.
Only Perfected Cultivator Wei Huang hesitated and talked to Chen Fan with his Immortal Will. He asked Chen Fan to be careful and Chen Fan also asked him to take care of Qiao Qiao and her family. Perfected Cultivator Wei Huang then nodded.
In the end...
Chen Fan got on the black carriage and Zhao Juexian rode the Black Flame Horse, leaving the State of Ancient Medicine. In the beginning, they were nameless, but when they left, they had become famous all around the Beihuang Region!
