Chapter 471: The Double-Standard Old Dragon King

Chapter 471: Chapter 471: The Double-Standard Old Dragon King

The Old Dragon King’s expression instantly softened.

"Oh? Xiaoyuan wants to go to the Yang Family? In that case, I can consider it. What’s the situation with Xiaoyuan?"

Yang Qianhuan was speechless. ’Master has such a double standard. The moment Junior Brother is mentioned, his expression changes faster than you can flip a page!’

"Yang Haotian, Old Jiu of the Yang Family, coveted our Junior Brother’s Spiritual Spring and killed many of his guards. In a fit of rage, our Junior Brother killed Yang Haotian. If you don’t come out of seclusion, I’m afraid our Junior Brother won’t survive this ordeal."

"Is that all? He dared to steal from my disciple, so he deserved to be killed! Tell Xiaoyuan not to be afraid! In three days, I will personally take him to the Yang Family!"

"Master is wise."

After leaving the secret chamber, Yang Qianhuan took out his phone and dialed Cheng Yuan’s number. The call connected instantly, and Cheng Yuan’s slightly nervous voice came through, "Second Senior Brother, what did Master say?"

"Master said you did well to kill him! Don’t worry. In three days, he will personally take you to the Yang Family!"

"That’s great! Thank you, Second Senior Brother! Thank you, Master!"

After hanging up, Cheng Yuan let out a huge sigh of relief.

’Master is so powerful, domineering, and cool!!’

Soon, however, Cheng Yuan’s expression turned serious. He couldn’t always rely on the Old Dragon King’s protection. He had to hurry up and reach the rank of Martial Emperor!

What frustrated Cheng Yuan was that, given his constitution and strength, the Medicinal Power of the Three Patterns Essence Enhancement Pill was no longer sufficient!

He had to refine the higher-grade Four Patterns Essence Enhancement Pill!

His current strength was enough to refine a Four Patterns Essence Enhancement Pill, but he lacked a high-quality Alchemy Furnace.

Furthermore, finding precious medicinal ingredients was also a significant problem.

Cheng Yuan scrolled through his contacts and found Divine Doctor Xue’s number. Although Divine Doctor Xue’s medical skills were a bit lacking, his connections in the world of medicine were extensive.

The call connected quickly, and Divine Doctor Xue’s slightly excited voice came through. "Divine Doctor Cheng, have you heard? I wanted to ask for your help, but I was afraid of upsetting you, so I didn’t dare to bother you."

Cheng Yuan was taken aback. "Heard what?"

"The Korean Acupuncture Saint Park Hao is challenging Traditional Chinese Medicine! He has already defeated nine of our Dragon Country’s top ten Divine Doctors. I am also one of his defeated opponents!"

"This Korean Acupuncture Saint has some skill, huh?"

"He is indeed very strong. His Qi-Guided Needle technique is masterfully refined. Park Hao’s next target is Divine Doctor Jiang of Qian Province! He’s already issued a formal challenge and will pay a visit tomorrow at ten in the morning! Divine Doctor Jiang is the number one Divine Doctor in our Dragon Country, on par with the Valley Master of Medicine Valley and the Sect Leader of the Celestial Pill Sect! If Divine Doctor Jiang loses, the reputation of our Dragon Country’s Traditional Chinese Medicine will be completely ruined!"

"Since Divine Doctor Jiang is Dragon Country’s number one Divine Doctor, his skills should be extraordinary. Is he not a match for that Korean Acupuncture Saint Park Hao?"

"That’s not it. Divine Doctor Jiang’s skills could wipe the floor with Park Hao ten times over! If Divine Doctor Jiang were in perfect condition, Park Hao would never dare to be so arrogant! Ten days ago, Divine Doctor Jiang was in a car accident. Although his life is no longer in danger, his hands have been trembling ever since. In this state, how could he possibly win against Park Hao!"

"Isn’t that just kicking someone when they’re down and taking advantage of a crisis? That Korean Acupuncture Saint is shameless!"

"You know the kind of sportsmanship you get from Korea, don’t you? They even pull off rigged calls in the World Cup. Kicking someone when they’re down is nothing to them! I even suspect that Divine Doctor Jiang’s car accident was no accident at all!"

"Isn’t there anyone who can step up and help Divine Doctor Jiang?"

"This battle concerns the honor of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The first nine Divine Doctors have all been defeated, so no one else dares to enter the fray. If they lose, they’ll be branded a traitor to Dragon Country’s Traditional Chinese Medicine! Only you, Divine Doctor Cheng, can guarantee a victory if you take action!"

"But I’m very busy right now. I need to find a high-quality Alchemy Furnace and a lot of high-grade medicinal ingredients. I don’t have time to deal with that Korean Acupuncture Saint."

Divine Doctor Xue chuckled. "What a coincidence! Park Hao carries a Top Grade Alchemy Furnace with him. It’s a national treasure that was lost from Dragon Country over a hundred years ago—the Eagle-shaped Pottery Cauldron. Legend has it that the Tai Chi Grandmaster Zhang Sanfeng once used this cauldron for alchemy! As for top-grade medicinal ingredients? That’s even easier! More than half of the renowned doctors in Dragon Country’s Traditional Chinese Medicine Community will be there to watch the match. Every one of them has a collection of high-quality ingredients. If you defeat Park Hao, I’m sure they’ll all be willing to contribute their precious ingredients!"

"Fine! I’ll make a trip to Qian Province! But if I don’t see that Eagle-shaped Pottery Cauldron, I’ll be very angry."

"Please rest assured, Divine Doctor Cheng. How would I dare to deceive you?"

Cheng Yuan hung up, got into Yuanxi Pharmaceutical’s Mercedes-Benz, and gave a simple command, "To the airport."

"Yes, sir."

Half an hour later, Cheng Yuan arrived at Dongshan International Airport.

BEEP BEEP...

Cheng Yuan’s phone rang. It was Lin Ruoxi, her voice slightly panicked. "Cheng Yuan, why didn’t you tell me something so huge happened? How many people died?"

Not wanting to worry Lin Ruoxi, Cheng Yuan said nonchalantly, "It’s not a big deal."

"How can it not be a big deal? I heard they’re from a major family in Jinling! Shouldn’t you go into hiding for a while?"

"It’s really not a big deal, Ruoxi, don’t worry. I have to go to Qian Province for something. If things go smoothly, I’ll be back tomorrow night. If not, maybe the day after."

Lin Ruoxi was very reluctant to see Cheng Yuan leave again so soon after he had just returned. However, thinking he was going into hiding, she didn’t try to hold him back. Instead, she said gently, "Cheng Yuan, don’t be in a hurry to come back! Stay in Qian Province for a few more days! Wait for things to blow over! Don’t worry about things at home!"

Cheng Yuan was speechless. ’Why can’t she understand?’

’It’s really not a big deal!’

However, Cheng Yuan didn’t explain further. It had been a while since he had been to Dragon Flame, so he should go and see his master.

’I really do miss Master a little!’

’Okay, I’m mostly just thinking about the Old Dragon King’s Xuanyuan Sword.’

’Back then, the Xuanyuan Sword rejected me so strongly it almost killed me. Now that my True Essence has fused with the Light Element and has a hint of a sacred aura, I wonder if the Xuanyuan Sword will still reject me?’

Cheng Yuan booked a flight. He wasn’t short on money now, so he booked a business class ticket directly.

Led by a staff member, Cheng Yuan entered the VIP lounge to wait for his flight.

Cheng Yuan found a random corner seat and sat down, closing his eyes to rest.

Not long after Cheng Yuan sat down, a woman in a long chiffon dress walked into the VIP lounge.

Everyone around them immediately lit up. ’What a beautiful and elegant woman!’

Only Cheng Yuan remained with his eyes closed, resting, showing no reaction at all.

The girl seemed accustomed to being the center of attention. Noticing Cheng Yuan’s indifference, she curled her lip in disdain. ’Another one playing hard to get. So childish.’

The girl glanced nonchalantly at Cheng Yuan, and then her eyes froze!

’He looks so familiar!’

’Isn’t that my slightly shy underclassman?’

’I heard he was sentenced to prison for intentional injury. When did he get out?’

The girl walked up quickly and stopped in front of Cheng Yuan, studying him with great interest.

’I haven’t seen him in a few years, but he’s matured a lot. The one thing that hasn’t changed is how handsome he still is. Especially those thin lips... I bet they’d taste amazing, right?’

’Pfft, pfft, pfft!’

’He Zhixuan, can’t you be a little more reserved?’

’You haven’t even held a boy’s hand before, for crying out loud!’

"Excuse me, are you Cheng Yuan?"
