Chapter 471 - Eldest Senior Brother



Chapter 471 - Eldest Senior Brother

Gu Zuo was even more interested: “—And then?”

Huai Tianhe said: “I’ve heard that many young, profound-level pharmacists who possess powerful inheritances are going… These young pharmacists may have the intention of posing challenges.”

He Zizhang also said: “Not to mention anything else, if you can watch more spars between these young pharmacists, it’ll definitely be quite beneficial.”

To be honest, because the two of them used the Realm Breaking Pill, the internal qi within both of their bodies had been stained with some source power qi emissions, which greatly improved their strengths. While they thanked their youngest junior brother for his magnanimity, they were also grateful to Gu Zuo, who refined this type of medicinal pill. Wasn’t this the point of specially telling him about this piece of news?

Gongyi Tianheng understood clearly, and cupped his hands toward these two people: “Many thanks to eldest senior brother and fifth senior sister. This time, Ah Zuo and I will be going together to gain first-hand knowledge.”

Huai Tianhe smiled and said: “As long as you guys don’t think we’re being meddlesome, it’s fine.”

After that, Tianheng naturally followed up with polite words and phrases.

Gu Zuo expressed his thanks to these two as well.

However, if it really was just this piece of information, they wouldn’t have gone so far as to come here in person. Originally, this information was something that Huai Tianhe had found out, but He Zizhang had accompanied her. There had to be another reason.

These two planned to personally escort Tianheng and Gu Zuo. This was because He Zizhang owned a villa in Baochuan City, which was where that Pill King Conference was being held. He Zizhang intended to hand over the villa for Tianheng and Gu Zuo’s use.

Although the framework of Tianheng’s business properties was being continuously developed, it still couldn’t extend all the way to the neighboring domain’s Baochuan City. If he and Gu Zuo went over by themselves, the place where they dwelled could only be a tavern or guest house.

Staying at a tavern wouldn’t have mattered, but when all was said and done, Tianheng was a prodigy. When going out, the higher the standards, the better.

When Tianheng heard He Zizhang mention the matter of the villa, he immediately understood this eldest senior brother’s thoughts. He pondered slightly, and knew that He Zizhang wanted to develop a back-and-forth rapport with him. It was to pay back the favor of the Realm Breaking Pill, too.

Hence, Tianheng didn’t refuse. He only said things like, “Many thanks, eldest senior brother,” “Obedience is better than politeness,” and so on.

In addition, by giving that villa for Tianheng’s use, He Zizhang was actually transferring it as a gift… Otherwise, it wouldn’t go over so well for He Zizhang’s face.

After He Zizhang, Huai Tianhe, and Tianheng settled on the appointed time, Gu Zuo gathered his thoughts with an exasperated look.

So to say, they had gained another piece of real estate?

Tianheng saw this expression of his, and couldn’t help smiling. He reached out a hand, and lightly pinched his cheek: “This villa probably wasn’t owned in Baochuan City originally. Rather, after eldest senior brother found out about the news, he immediately purchased it to specially give it to us.”

Gu Zuo blanked before nodding: “It seems…quite possible.”

Soon after, Gu Zuo suddenly thought of something, and opened his mouth: “Big brother, how about we pass along this information to Senior Sect Brother Xu?”

Tianheng faintly paused: “Ah Zuo means to ask Senior Sect Brother Xu to come with us?”

Gu Zuo considered it, but shook his head: “No. I’ll only give Senior Sect Brother Xu the information.”

Tianheng looked at Gu Zuo. His brows faintly moved.

Gu Zuo smiled, and said: “There’s a requirement for everyone who participates in the Pill King Conferences. With Senior Sect Brother Xu’s pride, he probably wouldn’t like going there as my attendant, so I’ll just tell him about the news. If he happens to have improved a pill prescription, he’ll have naturally met the condition. And if he’s still in the middle of working hard, I’ll tell him that I’m just interested in going. This also won’t injure Senior Sect Brother Xu’s pride.

“Besides, I feel that even if I wanted to bring along Senior Sect Brother Xu, and he didn’t refuse, that Prince Zhou he follows probably wouldn’t be as easy to convince… Rather than making things difficult for Senior Sect Brother Xu, it’s better to not say anything definite.”

Having heard what was said, the corner of Tianheng’s mouth curled into a grin: “What Ah Zuo says is reasonable.”

Hearing this, Gu Zuo smiled happily.

Afterwards, Tianheng sent someone to deliver the news to Great Zhou. Just as expected, after the letter was delivered, it was like a rock sinking into the sea without a trace. There was practically no follow-up information.

— Ah, it also couldn’t be said that there was no information at all. After a long time passed, Xu Lingxiu gave a response. However, this reply only expressed his thanks. Not a single word mentioned whether he would be going.

At this time, Gu Zuo didn’t know if Xu Lingxiu could go or not. However, he felt reassured after sending the news.

Following this, he started sorting out the pill prescriptions he had learned. He also organized those prescriptions he created and attempted to modify. He made preparations with the utmost care. Although he didn’t have any intentions of tormenting that pill king, he needed to show off if they met. He had to reveal a bit of skill to express his capabilities as big brother’s personal pharmacist!


Two days later, He Zizhang and Huai Tianhe met up with Gongyi Tianheng and Gu Zuo.

This time around, Tianheng only brought Ao Ying and an Ascendant Realm battle slave. There were also the two Tianlong Guards, Dragon One and Dragon Two. Meanwhile, the other troops were left in Ten Ultimates Sect.

Because there were few people, the journey was simple. He Zizhang and Huai Tianhe weren’t the sort who wanted to parade themselves in a show of extravagance, so everyone quickly went into the teleportation array. After several teleportations, they smoothly arrived at Baochuan City.

Once they entered the city, the group discovered that the security of Baochuan City had become much stricter than that of ordinary cities. Among the crowds coming and going, pharmacists made a considerable proportion.

In addition to this, the number of martial artists also wasn’t low. Listening to their comments and discussions, there were plenty who came here seeking medicine. Because there were more pharmacists, the probability of getting it was higher. Some wanted to see if they could find personal pharmacists to their liking. Others were simply sent to offer congratulations on behalf of a few organizations that weren’t adept at refining medicine. Those people were trying to see if they could poach the pill king.

That’s right. Everyone was being this proactive. And a large part of why everyone was so proactive was that this pill king still hadn’t joined any forces. It was said that this person’s medicine refining skills came about by relying on a fortuitous encounter. Previously, nothing was revealed because he cultivated in secret. However, he was also friends with some outstanding elites among the younger generations. With the help of those elite younger generations, he was able to conceal his brilliance to strengthen himself all the while.

At the same time, it was precisely because he had good relationships with these elite younger generations that everything worked out. As a result, in order to maintain his friendly relations with everyone, he didn’t join the organizations of these elite younger generations. As such, the other forces had a little more confidence.

The contributions to one’s sect for roping in a pill king were too great. In addition, even more important was that the pill king’s existence could be considered a crown jewel of any sect! Every one of them was incredibly valuable! The majority of pharmacists who could become pill kings were nurtured by certain organizations. Those who were “out in the wild” were simply too difficult to obtain. Thus, they absolutely couldn’t miss this chance!

Gu Zuo’s psychic power was extremely keen. Even though he didn’t deliberately go and listen, this unending stream of voices couldn’t help but enter his ears… This many people wanted to poach this person, and each of them prepared their own methods. It truly was quite interesting.

Very quickly, He Zizhang came to the newly-purchased villa.

Gu Zuo lifted his eyes to take a look, and saw that it wasn’t that overstated or outrageous. However, this definitely wasn’t a disreputable courtyard residence either. From the outside, it looked impressive and stylish. When his psychic power glanced inside, he felt that the details were exquisite and refined. It really wasn’t bad.

Moreover, his big brother’s guess was correct. This was because anyone could tell that this villa had never been lived in. Right now, it was like it had been waiting for its master.

He Zizhang plainly said: “Youngest junior brother, Pharmacist Gu. You two can rest here.”

Tianheng smiled, but his smiling expression contained a somewhat significant meaning: “With such arrangements, I have to thank eldest senior brother.”

He Zizhang saw this, and understood that Tianheng was aware of his own intentions. He let out a laugh: “Youngest junior brother can take a look around to see whether there’s anything missing. If there’s something you’re dissatisfied with, I’ll have someone make the changes as soon as possible.”

Tianheng said: “There’s not a single thing wrong with eldest senior brother’s foresight.”

After a few more words, everyone moved into the villa.

The Pill King Conference would officially begin in three days. During this period of time, many people would be coming one after another. Based on this, the taverns within the city ought to have reached full capacity long ago. If He Zizhang hadn’t given this villa, Tianheng and Gu Zuo might’ve not been able to stay anywhere comfortably — The two of them didn’t pay too much attention to such frivolities, but if things could be made a little more comfortable, why wouldn’t they do so?

Once everyone settled in, the group ate a meal. After that, Huai Tianhe took her leave first.

As for He Zizhang, he stuck around: “When the pill king imparts his experiences, martial artists aren’t allowed to spectate. I will stay behind, and keep youngest junior brother company.”

Tianheng and Gu Zuo both understood. How was this for the sake of keeping one’s company? He Zizhang was staying here because he wanted to protect these two people.

What earth-level pharmacists faced were Cosmic Realm martial artists. Of the pharmacists capable of participating in Pill King Conferences, it wasn’t known how many of them were profound-level pharmacists. Who knew how many Celestial, Noble, and even Royal Realm experts there were among their followers?

No matter how good Tianheng’s aptitudes, regardless of the fact that he could fight against higher realms, he couldn’t confront someone whose realm greatly exceeded his own. In addition, even if he didn’t cause trouble, this city was a place where fish and dragons mixed together. Who knew what would happen?

Currently, He Zizhang was a high Noble Realm. When other people looked at him, they had to give some face.

As the eldest senior brother, it was only natural that he wanted to protect his youngest junior brother.

Gu Zuo thought clearly, and he was also somewhat emotionally moved.

Regardless of how much this was due to the Realm Breaking Pill, this eldest senior brother was truly an upstanding individual. Since He Zizhang knew to protect his junior brothers and sisters, this was a person who was worthy of respect.

Tianheng’s gaze faintly softened.

Gu Zuo looked at Tianheng with a smile.

[Big brother, I think that you couldn’t have made a better choice in apprenticing to the Blood Transformation Palace Master.]

[This elder brother feels the same way.]
