1528 The Medicinal Pill in Hand, Secluded Cultivation
Wang Dong took the jade box and went up to Chu Yunfan. He opened the box and a thumb-sized pill appeared in front of Chu Yunfan.
It was golden in color and seemed to contain extremely powerful medicinal power, but not a single bit of medicinal power spread out. This box was also a specially made jade box. There were ancient patterns carved on it, forming a small array that completely sealed the medicinal power inside and did not let it spread out.
Others might not know, but Chu Yunfan knew it all too well. This jade box was invented by the Alchemy Emperor. At that time, the Alchemy Emperor felt that it was difficult to store pills. As time passed, the medicinal strength would continue to dissipate. This was why he had developed this jade box. With the help of the formation on the surface of the box, one could seal the medicinal power in the jade box. Of course, there were spirit stones at the bottom of the jade box. As long as the spirit energy in those spirit stones was not exhausted, the jade box could be used forever. Even if the spirit energy in the spirit stones were exhausted, the box could be used again simply by replacing the spirit stones.
This was the Alchemy Emperor’s proud handiwork. Ever since then, it was no longer difficult for alchemists to store medicinal pills.
Chu Yunfan confirmed that this was indeed the Nine Heavens Small Rejuvenating Pill. After all, it could fool others, but it could not fool an expert like him.
“Very straightforward. In that case, I won’t stand on ceremony.” Chu Yunfan put away the jade box in the Mountain River Diagram.
“Sword Young Master, aren’t you going to check it?” Wang Dong asked.
“There’s no need. A mere medicinal pill can’t fool me,” Chu Yunfan said, “There’s no pill in the world that can hide from me. Also, your credibility isn’t limited to just this pill, President Wang.”
Hearing Chu Yunfan’s words, a strange look flashed across Wang Dong’s eyes. He suspected that Chu Yunfan must have high attainment in alchemy and knew many things that even he did not know. Now that he heard Chu Yunfan’s words, he was confident that he was right. However, he did not take it to heart. He did not care how Chu Yunfan had learned all this.
“You flatter me, Sword Young Master.” Wang Dong smiled. “However, you and Chu Yunfan’s reputation has risen recently. As far as I know, there seem to be many people planning to find trouble with you. What’s your opinion on this?”
“They’re just some clowns. They only dare to use some underhanded methods.” Chu Yunfan sneered. In the face of absolute strength, all schemes and plots were meaningless. “I’ve heard about the bounty they offered, but we’ll have to see if anyone has the guts to take the job. If any assassin organization dares to take this job, I’ll flatten their headquarters.”
Wang Dong’s expression froze. He hadn’t expected Chu Yunfan’s reaction to be so intense. It could even be said that Chu Yunfan didn’t have any intention of easing up. It was as if he would kill whoever dared to provoke him.
But then he thought of Chu Yunfan’s usual style of doing things. It seemed that it was indeed like this. He would kill anyone who stood in his way.
“That’s true. With your strength, I’m afraid there’s no one who can do anything to you,” said Wang Dong, “But I heard that they are spending a large sum to invite the khan to help. Be careful, Sword Young Master.”
“The khan?” Chu Yunfan furrowed his brows. “It’s fine. As far as I know, the khan is too busy taking care of himself. It’s good enough that he’s still alive. He shouldn’t come looking for trouble.”
Chu Yunfan cracked a smile. Others might not know, but he did. The khan had just been severely injured by him and was fleeing. If he had not run fast enough, he would have been dead by now. At that time, Chu Yunfan’s power was far weaker than now. With his current strength, he didn’t even need the Ash Fire Physique to blow up the khan.
“Oh?” Wang Dong finally showed a shocked expression. He had not received any news before, but judging from Chu Yunfan’s expression, he was not speaking without thinking. In other words, the khan was probably not in good condition. Only now did he realize that there were probably too many things in this world that even he, the Alchemist Association’s president, did not know.
“Thank you for the warning, President Wang. Since there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave now,” Chu Yunfan said. He couldn’t wait to try the pill.
At that time, his strength will improve even further. Even if the khan was still in his cultivation, Chu Yunfan could easily crush him like an ant, let alone the fact that he had severely injured the khan.
“All right then, I won’t be seeing you off. Take care now!” Wang Dong cupped his hands.
Chu Yunfan nodded and left Alchemy City.
Wang Dong, on the other hand, stood where he was, his expression uncertain. Chu Yunfan’s words shocked him greatly. The khan, who was known as the world’s number one expert, had likely met with an accident, or at least suffer heavy injuries. This was another great variable in the current turbulent situation.
“Men, pass on my orders. Find out the whereabouts of the khan using everything you have. Report to me if you have any news.”
In the Imperial Capital of Great Wei, in the imperial advisor’s residence.
In the courtyard, Chu Yunfan had changed back to his original appearance. In front of him was a stone table. On the stone table was a jade box, and in the jade box was the Nine Heavens Small Rejuvenating Pill.
In the capital of Great Wei, the imperial advisor’s residence occupied a large area. During the time when Chu Yunfan was not around, it was built magnificently, and its magnificence was not inferior to the Imperial Palace.
If it were any other person, they would have been impeached long ago and would not have been able to live in such a luxurious mansion. However, no one had any objections to this mansion.
Everyone knew that this was the residence of the number one expert in the world, the pillar of this dynasty, Chu Yunfan. None of the courtiers had the guts to impeach the imperial advisor. After all, everyone knew that he was the emperor’s backer. He was like a retired emperor. No one dared to provoke him.
‘It’s time to go into seclusion!’ Chu Yunfan thought.
He had broken through continuously during this period, so it was indeed time to consolidate his cultivation. He did not want his cultivation to progress too quickly and his foundation to be unstable.
“Pass on my orders. I’m going into seclusion for three months and won’t see anyone.”
