Chapter 216: The Alchemist Guild
"We'll make two deals, and I believe you'll be satisfied with both," Yang Chen said with a smile. "First, I'll give you 800,000 Nourishing Yuan Pills, and you will give me the Shennong Ding."
"Take it!" Yao Changfeng eagerly tossed out a black bronze alchemical cauldron and said hastily.
Yang Chen smiled slightly and then stored the Shennong Ding in his forehead.
"I'm not done speaking yet. Old Feng, 800,000 is the condition for exchanging the Shennong Ding. Then I'll give you another 1,000,000 Nourishing Yuan Pills, and you will analyze its materials and find a way to refine it for me," Yang Chen continued.
"This is a bit difficult. Firstly, the method for refining Nourishing Yuan Pills has been lost since ancient times. Relying solely on existing pills and with the current resources, it's very hard," Yao Changfeng frowned and said.
"If it's hard, then there's hope. Speak up; let's see if I can help you solve it," Yang Chen said lazily.
"If the Pill King Ding of my clan were still around, give me five years, and I would have a 30% chance," Yao Changfeng said confidently. Then he added, "Unfortunately, the Pill King Ding has long been lost; otherwise, I would have returned the Shennong Ding to you last time."
"In that case, let's talk about the second condition: the Yao Clan joining my Shadow Kill for a thousand years," Yang Chen proposed.
"Brother, that's really impossible, even if you offer me 100 million Nourishing Yuan Pills. This is a matter of principle," Yao Changfeng replied helplessly.
"There are no absolute principles in this world, only unachieved benefits," Yang Chen said leisurely. "Old brother, is this enough leverage?" As he spoke, the green bronze Pill King Ding flew out and landed in front of Yao Changfeng.
"You just got the Shennong Ding and now you're offering me another sacred artifact to buy me off?" Yao Changfeng grabbed the Pill King Ding and placed it on the ground casually.
"Ha ha, Old Feng, I'm telling you, this is your clan's lost treasure, the Pill King Ding. Do you believe it?" Yang Chen said with a smile.
"Ha ha, little brother, do you really think I'm such a fool?" Yao Changfeng replied. However, upon seeing Yang Chen's serious expression, he immediately became solemn and said, "This... this can't be true."
"Old brother, if you study it carefully, you'll know. I have plenty of time; I can wait," Yang Chen smiled as he said.
Yao Changfeng quickly crouched down, observing carefully, his expression becoming increasingly serious. After a while, he said, "Little brother, I'll go get the Elders. Wait here." Without giving Yang Chen a chance to respond, he hurried away.
Yang Chen smiled and shook his head.
Soon, Yao Changfeng returned with two simple-looking old men, holding an ancient yellow scroll in his hands.
"Two Elders, this is it," Yao Changfeng said respectfully.
The two old men immediately crouched down, gently stroking the scroll as if caressing the body of a young girl.
"Chang kid, hand me the Ancestral Scroll," one of the old men said eagerly.
"Oh." Yao Changfeng handed the scroll to the slightly older elder and then walked over to Yang Chen, saying, "I tell you, brother, this thing can't really be..."
"I'm not joking with you," Yang Chen rolled his eyes and replied.
"Of course not. With your prestige as the Best Actor, you wouldn't be bored enough to tease me," Yao Changfeng said while rubbing his hands. "By the way, these two are Elder Di and Elder Xuan from our clan."
"Uh-huh." Yang Chen nodded and said, "Brother, why don't you sit for a bit? There's no use in being anxious; it's better to wait calmly."
"It's fine, it's fine," Yao Changfeng declined. Since he said that, Yang Chen didn't bother with him anymore.
"Third brother, this is real! This is real!!" The slightly older elder exclaimed excitedly.
"Second brother, this truly is our clan's sacred artifact, the Medicine King Cauldron!!" Elder Xuan said eagerly.
At this moment, Yang Chen stood up from his seat and walked over to Elders Di and Xuan with a smile, saying, "Elders, what do you think?"
"Thank you, Best Actor, for bringing back our clan's sacred artifact," Elder Di said respectfully.
"Elder Yao Di, you are being polite; it is merely a mutually beneficial arrangement," Yang Chen said with a smile.
"Oh? In the rush earlier, Chang'er did not mention it to us. I wonder what the Best Actor needs," Elder Yao Di said respectfully.
"The Pharmaceutical Clan will join my Shadow Kill for a Thousand Years. This low-grade Heavenly Artifact, the Medicine King Cauldron, will be entrusted to you," Yang Chen smiled.
"A thousand years? Second Brother, look," Yao Xuan said.
"This... Big Brother and Fourth Brother are currently in closed-door cultivation..." Elder Yao Di hesitated.
"Forget it. Since Big Brother and Fourth Brother are not here, I will take charge. I believe that even if Big Brother comes out, he won't blame me," Medicine Ground said with determination.
"Best Actor, I will follow your words; my Pharmaceutical Clan will join your Shadow Kill for a Thousand Years!" Medicine Ground said solemnly.
"Good! Elder Yao Di is truly generous!" Yang Chen quickly agreed. A thousand years is enough time for me to completely subdue your clan.
"I appoint Yao Changfeng as my Shadowkill Celestial Kingdom Pharmaceutical Emperor, directly receiving orders from me!" Yang Chen proclaimed.
With a thunderous boom, a force of luck surged into Yao Changfeng, Medicine Ground, Yao Xuan, and others' bodies. The luck dragon within the Celestial Ranking and the Ziwei Emperor Dragon grew stronger once again.
"Your servant pays respects to the Celestial Emperor," Yao Changfeng said respectfully. As he prepared to kneel, Yang Chen stopped him: "Prince, when you see me, there is no need for formalities!"
"Xie Xian Emperor," Yao Changfeng replied respectfully.
"Today, I establish another pavilion, the Shennong Pavilion! To refine various elixirs for me and the Celestial Kingdom! Lord..." At this point, Yang Chen paused for a moment before continuing: "The Lord will be Elder Yao Tian, with Medicine Ground, Yao Xuan, and Elder Yao Huang as deputy Lords."
"Xie Xian Emperor," Medicine Ground and Yao Xuan said respectfully as two streams of golden luck energy flowed into their bodies.
At the same time, in the secret chamber of the Pharmaceutical Clan, Elders Yao Tian and Yao Huang simultaneously opened their eyes and broke through their closed-door cultivation.
“Celestial Emperor, can we open the Medicine King Cauldron?” Yao Di asked.
“Of course. It now belongs to you, but the nine pills inside are left by me for you all to appreciate,” Yang Chen said with a smile.
Then, the Medicine Emperor lifted the lid of the Medicine King Cauldron, and immediately, a rich fragrance of medicine wafted out.
“Good pills! Just based on this fragrance, it surpasses ninth-grade pills!” A strange voice came from nearby.
Yao Di and Yao Xuan turned to see who it was and respectfully said, “Elder Brother.”
“Second Brother, Third Brother,” Yao Huang also said respectfully.
“Hmm.” Yao Tian nodded, then stepped forward and carefully pinched out a Dan Wang from the Medicine King Cauldron. After examining it for a long time, he solemnly said, “This should be a king-grade pill that surpasses ninth-grade pills!!”
“Elder Yao Tian truly has good eyesight. What else do you see?” Yang Chen smiled and asked.
“And who is this?” Yao Tian looked at Yang Chen and inquired.
“Elder Brother, let me introduce. This is the Celestial Emperor of the Shadow Killing Immortal Kingdom, and he is also the one who retrieved our clan's treasure for My Clan. For this…” Yao Di explained for a long time before finally clarifying the whole story.
“Since Second Brother has agreed to join Shadow Killing for a millennium, as the elder brother, I cannot go back on my word, nor can I tarnish My Clan's reputation. I, Yao Tian, the head of Shennong Pavilion, pay my respects to Celestial Emperor!” Yao Tian said with a slight bow.
