Chapter 960 - In Your Face!

He was one of the Alchemy King’s first disciples, who had also been with the Alchemy King ever since he reached the Nascent Soul realm a few thousand years in the past. No one knew exactly how he was doing and some even believed that he had already left this world. However, he was still alive and well, while the Grand Elders of Reincarnation Sect had changed three times.

Many people guessed that he must have already be a Nascent Soul cultivator, otherwise he wouldn’t have lived for that long.

Meanwhile, the others believed that the Alchemy King had given him some left over from a batch of immortality Divine Medicine, which had prolonged his life for another five thousand years.

What did five thousand years mean?

Most Golden Core Cultivators could only live up to two to three thousand years. Five thousand years meant virtually twice as that. In addition, doubling their life meant they have more time to accumulate more Qi and become more powerful. So powerful was this old man that not even the sect masters of a Heavenly Sect would hold out against him. Not to mention his unthinkable alchemy skills taught directly by the Alchemy King himself.

As for the Medicine God Sect, they were even more powerful than the Alchemy King.

The Medicine God Sect was even more ancient than Mount Emperor. It had been founded by a Divine Lord twenty thousand years before. Although the sect had to change and adjust to the changing eras many times, they remained a staunch force on Tianhuang with influence second only to Mount Emperor.

Rumor had it that an ancient agreement between them and the other sects gave them the rights to command them all.

Therefore, the arrival of the two shook everyone.

“How is it possible? The Medicine God sect has been living in self-isolation for hundreds of years. Why is he here?”

“Just so! The last time that old bone showed up was a hundred years ago. He was Alchemy King’s shadow, never leaving his master’s side. Why would he show up now?”

Everyone was discussing as they waited.

Both the Alchemy King and the Medicine God were mighty forces in Tianhuang.

The Alchemy King was the only Heavenly Alchemist in Tianhuang, and therefore was revered even by Heavenly Lords. Meanwhile, the Medicine God sect was an imperishable ancient force. Its heir was the subject of worship for many alchemists.

Their arrival made many people look at Chen Fan.

After all, the Elixir Monarch title was only official if the Medicine God sect had acknowledged it.

Zhang Dongshan sneered in his mind.

“Hmph! He occupied the head of the table even in the presence of Medicine God and Alchemy King. Shameless!”

The arrival of Alchemy King’s first disciple and the heir of the Medicine God had stirred all the elders and the sect masters. Everyone swarmed the two to welcome them, while Chen Fan remained in his seat.

They looked toward the entrance and saw a heavenly flower descend from the sky as a golden lotus sprouted from the ground.

An elegant jade carriage flew closer to the stage from a distant glow in the sky.

This jade carriage was made out of a ten thousand year old fire jade. It was covered with heavenly arrays cast by heavenly lords.

The carriage was being pulled by a Dragon Horse. The beast had two horns and was covered with golden scales. It emanated a majestic air superior to that of most elders. It was apparent that this Spirit Beast was as powerful as a Heavenly Lord.

A lordly carriage pulled by a majestic beast slowly flew by, with a dozen servants and guards trailing behind it. All the servant girls possessed extraordinary beauty while the male guards were peak level Golden Core warriors.

It was such a luxurious and exalted sight to behold!

Many disciples of the Heavenly Sects were speechless.

Grand Elder Lin Shan cupped his hands and announced, “The Reincarnation Sect welcomes Heavenly General Zhang and the Divine Prince.”

The Medicine God Sect was an imperishable ancient sect and its heir was granted the title of Divine Prince. He was as influential as any Heavenly Lord.

A cold and stately voice drifted out from the jade carriage. “Elder Lin, you’re being too humble. The Reincarnation Sect and the Medicine God Sect have been allies since the beginning of time. Plus, you’re also a good friend of the Alchemy King. You can just call me Medicine God Prince.”

Everyone looked over and saw two men emerging from the carriage, one old and the other young.

The elder’s face was lined with wrinkles. He stumbled toward the crowd, taking a few short breaths from time to time. He was the most famous old freak in Tianhuang: Zhang Buyi. Despite his appearance, he could live at least another thousand years. He used to be the Alchemy King’s guardian and had killed countless foes. He later became known as the First Heavenly General.

Meanwhile, the Medicine God Prince was a young man.

The young man was wearing all black and his body was suffused by a dark glow. The vigorous energy in his eyes made it clear that he was more powerful than any sect master present, if not even stronger than Jun Aochen. The floating energy surrounding him made people wonder if he possessed Divine Grade Golden Core.

To everyone’s surprise, the old man didn’t stand alongside the young one. Instead, he stood half a step behind him, face awash with respect.

“Heavenly General Zhang, why are you…?”

The elder from the Heavenly Jade Institute was perplexed.

“Alchemy King told me to treat the Medicine God Prince like my master, so I have,” Zhang Buyi said. His voice was hoarse and dry; it sounded like two sand papers rubbing against each other.

The crowd became silent after hearing the old man.

Although the Medicine God sect had been going slightly downhill, they still had the respect from the Alchemy King.

“Sir, we have invited you two here to aid Shenxi during her tribulation. I hope you could give her a helping hand,” Lin Shan said sincerely.

Everyone finally realized that the delay in Shenxi’s tribulation was because she had been waiting for those two.

“However, could they really help her?” Many people looked at the Medicine God Prince.

“Of course. My sect has a secret Divine Medicine called Three Incarnation Pill. It is designed to aid the Transcendence of a Divine Grade Golden Core. I have used this pill myself to form a Transcendent-grade golden core. Here’s the pill.”

The Medicine God Prince waved a hand and commanded a servant to move forward with a jade box.

Lin Shan and many other elders were elated by the announcement. They kneeled down to thank the Medicine God Prince.

Many people looked at the jade box with jealousy.

That was supreme Divine Medicine that could upgrade the Divine Grade Golden Core. The success rate of forming the superior-grade Golden Core was only ten percent, therefore, such a powerful pill was incredibly rare and precious, so much so that many Heavenly Lords even thought about taking it by force.

“Hurry, send it to the Goddess,” Lin Shan ordered Hua Nonyin.

However, someone stepped forward and stopped Hua Nonyin.

“Hold on.”

Everyone looked over and saw the speaker was Chen Fan.

“Cultivator Chen, what do you want?”

Lin Shan narrowed his glinting eyes.

The other elders also widened their eyes in anger, charging up their True Essence. Shenxi’s success would lay the Reincarnation Sect’s foundation for the following ten thousand years. They wouldn’t let anyone ruin her tribulation. If things became worse, even the Nascent Soul Ancestral Patriarch would interfere.

“Nothing. I just want to tell you that this Three Incarnation Pill is not the real one. The real Three Incarnation Pill is extremely rare and not even a Divine Lord would be able to make it. If Shenxi uses this fake pill, she would ruin her Golden Core,” Chen Fan explained calmly.

“Nonsense!”

Many Medicine God Prince’s followers flung back at Chen Fan.

“Idiot, shut up!”

“How dare you insult the Divine Medicine sect!”

“What a fool! Get out of my way.”

The followers refuted.

The Medicine God Prince didn’t seem to care about Chen Fan’s accusation, letting it slide like a pointless and harmless slander. Lin Shan ordered Hua Nonyin to hurry. However, she was stopped by Chen Fan once again.

“Chen Beixuan, what is the meaning of this?”

Lin Shan’s anger flared.

The Medicine God Prince turned around and scanned Chen Fan from head to toe.

“So you are the one who calls himself Elixir Monarch? Did you know that this title is only granted by the Medicine God Sect?”

“Yes, that’s me.”

Chen Fan nodded.

“Very well. Since you are ready to admit that you disgraced the Elixir Monarch title, I will spare your life if you tie your hands and kneel before me,” said the Medicine God Prince.

“What if I don’t?”

Chen Fan looked up and grinned.

“Then Die! This is the Divine Law of Tianhuang!” the Medicine God Prince said succinctly.

“Divine Law of Tianhuang?”

Chen Fan’s smile grew cold and a light emerged in his eyes.

The name reminded him of the curse cast on the Chinese, which had shackled the talents of countless Chinese cultivators.

“So, you are the culprit behind the Divine Law of Tianhuang?”

Chen Fan rose to his feet and moved closer to the Jade carriage. “You have cursed the Chinese and now you want to ruin Shenxi’s cultivation using this fake pill.”

“Stop! One more step means death!” a guard shouted.

Chen Fan kept on going.

Grand Elder Lin Shan narrowed his eyes and questioned him in a scathing tone, “Chen Beixuan, what is the meaning of this? Are you going to insult the Divine Prince?”

Chen Fan ignored him and took another step forward.

“Young man, you are courting death,” said the Alchemy King’s First Disciple as he opened his eyes and a powerful force started to awaken inside of him.

“Get out of here!”

Chen Fan attacked with his fist in return.

The punch ripped across space and landed squarely on the Medicine God Prince’s face. The impact sent the Medicine God Prince flying all the way to the Xuantian Mountain.

The crowd was stunned.

They watched the shocking development and couldn’t say a word.
