"Cough, cough, low-key, low-key."
I smiled coquettishly. As the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous as pigs are afraid of being fat. Now I deeply understood why those popular little fresh meats, no matter where they go, would wear a mask. It turns out that they were afraid of being forcefully pushed by their female fans.
"Brother Zhuang, take it. If there's anything else you need in terms of medicinal ingredients, don't hesitate to ask. My Medicine King Valley doesn't have much, but I definitely have enough ingredients!" Zhu Bingjia said with a mischievous smile.
"Thank you, thank you. Brother Zhu, I can't just take your things for free. Just give me a price, or I can provide you with a sufficient amount of elixirs." I wasn't in a hurry to take it. Since he had helped me a lot, I should properly thank him.
The market price of this thousand-year-old polygonum multiflorum was roughly several tens of millions. Generally speaking, those who needed it would rack their brains to find it, and those who didn't need it wouldn't spend a lot of money to buy it. Although it was a rare tonic, it wasn't as effective as ginseng or lingzhi. However, it had a miraculous effect in treating some special illnesses.
Even if he asked for a price of several hundred million, I wouldn't even bat an eye. Right now, money was just a number to me. Although the Black Mud Facial Mask Company had been closed for a few days, after being 'rehabilitated', it blossomed like mushrooms after a spring rain. People from all over the country called to join them, causing Liu Yuhan and sister-in-law to be extremely busy. However, they also enjoyed it.
"No, no, no, Brother Zhuang, don't be so distant. This is what I originally promised you. Besides, you have made a great contribution to Hua Xia. My Medicine King Valley is a martial arts sect, but due to various reasons, we couldn't stand up for you. It is truly regretful. Fortunately, there was a brother who bravely stood up. It was just a false alarm." Zhu Bingjia shook his head.
What he said was also the truth. The people of these martial arts sects weren't under the control of Hua Xia's political officials. It was just that they restrained each other. Unless it was absolutely necessary, they wouldn't do anything if it didn't concern them.
On the matter of the three small countries, no one asked for their help. On one hand, it wasn't a life and death situation. On the other hand, the higher ups of Hua Xia believed in firearms. However, it wasn't appropriate to use those things in such a small scale conflict.
This matter had also been heard by the major martial arts sects, but they didn't take the initiative to ask for help. After all, the deterrence of the great wizard was there. No matter how they dealt with the mutant warriors, it wouldn't be appropriate. Once the great wizard was angered, it would be a disaster!
Zhu Bingjia was well aware of this. Moreover, his Master had personally said that the power of a Grand Wizard was not inferior to the leader of a large sect in the martial arts world!
What kind of shocking news was this, no matter what method this lad used to kill the great shaman, at least it showed that he had concealed his strength.
"So, you just gave me the thousand-year-old Chinese Knotweed for free?" I didn't understand.
"Well, it can't be said to be free. If Brother Zhuang is free, you can come to the Valley of the Medicine Masters for a visit. My master admires your medical skills and would like to exchange and learn from you." Zhu Bingjia did not beat around the bush and stated his conditions.
"Oh."
I suddenly understood. Even if I gave him some pills, he wouldn't be able to take care of the disciples of the Medicine King Valley. It would be better to invite me over.
"No problem. When I have time in the future, I will pay a visit to the Valley of the Medicine Masters."
I readily agreed. Originally, I had inherited the Medicine King's lifelong knowledge through the Martial Saint Tablet, and Zhu Bingjia's sect was the 'Medicine King's Valley'. Since his master said that it was an academic exchange, there was no need for me to decline. On one hand, I wanted to thank him for the thousand-year-old Polygonum Multiflorum, and if things went well, there might be unexpected gains!
Seeing me agree, Zhu Bingjia heaved a sigh of relief. He couldn't help but smile. "Many thanks for Brother Zhuang's favor."
"Let's play around in Nan Yun for a few more days when we have time," I suggested.
"No, no. Our Medicine King Valley is especially busy these days, because the Martial Arts World Promotion Competition, which is held once every five years, will be held in two days. This competition not only affects the ranking of the various sects in the martial arts world, but it also concerns the election of the leader of the martial arts world. Although our Medicine King Valley does not have any geniuses participating, we need to be responsible for logistics and the distribution of elixirs," he said unhurriedly with a wave of his hand.
"Oh."
I suddenly came to a realization and remembered about the Martial Arts World Promotion Competition. Fortunately, I escaped from danger, otherwise, I would have definitely missed it.
Previously, I had promised Pavilion Master Sui that I would represent the True Martial Pavilion and participate in this unprecedentedly grand promotion tournament. Moreover, Instructor Jiang and Curator Du had left behind regrets at that time. Now, their hopes are on me. I hope that I can fulfill their dreams.
This Medicine King Valley was in charge of the elixirs. After all, they had the most outstanding alchemist. Elixirs were indeed precious, but what was truly rare was the recipe, which was the recipe for refining elixirs. Without the recipe, even if the ingredients were sufficient, it was impossible to produce a qualified product.
I could understand that it would affect the ranking of the sects in the martial arts world. As for the leader of the martial arts world, I was a little confused. It was like a martial arts novel.
However, my goal was only the promotion competition. I wasn't interested in the leader of the martial arts world.
"Alright, alright. Since you still have things to do, I won't keep you any longer. I also want to participate in the promotion competition. If there's a chance, we'll meet again," I patted his shoulder.
