207: Go to Medicine Clan, Pharmacopoeia

Chapter 207: Journey to the Medicine Clan, the Medicine Ceremony

Time flew by.

On this day, Soul Cang opened his eyes and looked at the glowing jade slip.

“The Medicine Clan’s Medicine Ceremony will be held in a few days.”

A thought flashed through his mind, and Soul Cang understood. He let out a breath, and his figure, which had been sitting cross-legged in the void, stood up.

“Xiao Yan,” Soul Cang called out, looking into the distance.

Soon, a black dot appeared, transforming into a figure that arrived before Soul Cang.

Xiao Yan smiled, his eyes gleaming with anticipation: “Big Brother, what is it?”

Soul Cang said: “The Medicine Clan’s Medicine Ceremony is about to begin.”

“Good, I’ll prepare immediately.” Before Soul Cang could finish speaking, Xiao Yan eagerly replied.

Soul Cang raised a hand to press him down: “You stay and guard the house.”

“No, Big Brother, please,” Xiao Yan pleaded, a hint of entreaty on his face.

Ever since Soul Cang returned to the Gama Empire, Xiao Yan had begun a long period of continuous cultivation, only pausing to participate in the battle between the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Tribe and the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan.

However, that battle did not last long.

Upon returning, Xiao Yan thought he had consolidated his realm and could finally relax, but Soul Cang called him to the Demon Flame Space to begin another long period of cultivation.

During this time, Xiao Yan’s main task was to spar with Soul Cang, with both of them honing their strength.

Soul Cang said seriously: “There’s no room for discussion.”

After spending so much time and effort cultivating Xiao Yan, it was now time for Xiao Yan to demonstrate his value.

In fact, if he had a choice, Soul Cang would have preferred Xiao Yan to go to the Medicine Clan.

However, Xiao Yan’s current strength was not yet at the level where he could face old monsters independently.

Moreover, according to the original timeline, Void Swallowing Flame might appear at this Medicine Clan’s Medicine Ceremony, and Xiao Yan would have no chance of winning against him for now.

Therefore, Soul Cang decided to go himself.

The matter of the Heavenly Flames could not go wrong!

Leaving the Demon Flame Space, Soul Cang and Yao Chen left the Gama Empire together.

On the way.

Yao Chen laughed: “Originally, Falling Star Pavilion wasn’t qualified to receive an invitation from the Medicine Clan, but this time it’s benefiting from association.”

After all, the Medicine Clan was also one of the Eight Ancient Clans, with extremely high standards.

They naturally looked down on a force like Falling Star Pavilion, which wasn’t even among the top sects in the Central Plains.

But fortunately, Dan Tower was now taking the lead in integrating forces, and Falling Star Pavilion, as the liaison with the Cang Alliance, also rose in prominence. Coupled with Yao Chen himself returning to take charge, a Dou Sheng’s prestige, that’s how they gained the qualification to be invited.

Soul Cang’s expression was calm, not caring much: “It doesn’t matter. No invitation can stop me.”

Yao Chen glanced at him, not refuting.

Although he had known Soul Cang for a long time, in recent days, he increasingly felt that the changes Soul Cang brought to him were terrifying.

Every time he saw him after a period, Soul Cang seemed to have undergone earth-shattering changes.

Especially the oppressive aura emanating from him, Yao Chen felt it was not much different even compared to the Flame Clan Leader.

After thinking for a moment, Yao Chen asked: “Is the probability of the Soul Clan taking this opportunity to attack the Medicine Clan high?”

“Nine times out of ten,” Soul Cang gave his opinion after some thought.

Yao Chen’s expression slightly solidified.

Soul Cang asked: “Do you still have lingering feelings for the Medicine Clan? They treated you like that.”

Having been expelled, Yao Chen naturally had no good feelings for the Medicine Clan. He sighed: “It’s not lingering feelings, I just think about the place where I grew up disappearing like this, and it’s inevitable to feel a bit lost, because another piece of my memory is missing.”

Along the way, their conversation gradually shifted from the Medicine Clan to Heavenly Flames.

Although the Medicine Clan excelled in alchemy, they actually possessed fewer Heavenly Flames than the Yan Clan.

Among the twenty-three Heavenly Flames, they only accounted for two.

Among them, the high-ranking Nine Serene Wind Flame had even been plundered by Soul Cang in the Tian Tomb, leaving only the thirteenth-ranked Turtle Spirit Earth Flame.

Soul Cang was stunned.

It seemed that was indeed the case; he had misremembered.

Currently, besides the Netherworld Poison Flame, Volcanic Rock Flame, Turtle Spirit Earth Flame, Nine Dragon Lightning Flame, Nine Serene Golden Ancestor Flame, Flame of Life, and Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame, he only had Void Swallowing Flame left.

The Netherworld Poison Flame was too low in rank; Soul Cang didn’t care for it and didn’t want to waste time looking for it.

The Volcanic Rock Flame and Nine Serene Golden Ancestor Flame were previously in the hands of the Flame Clan Leader. After he was defeated by Soul Emperor, the Heavenly Flames were taken. Soul Cang had tried to get them but failed.

“So much less fun now,” Soul Cang’s interest immediately waned.

The two traveled at full speed, arriving just in time for the official start of the Medicine Ceremony.

Yao Chen took out the invitation and led Soul Cang into the Medicine World.

Soon after they stepped inside, people from the Medicine Clan heard the news and came, looking at Yao Chen with unkind eyes, their faces showing disdain and contempt.

They despised this clansman who had once been expelled from the clan, especially after Yao Chen later made a name for himself with his strength.

“Yao Chen, you, who were expelled from the clan, actually have the nerve to come back?” Yao Wangui walked slowly, a sneer on his face.

However, his gaze quickly fell upon Soul Cang near Yao Chen, and the smile on his face faltered slightly, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes.

Yao Chen retorted unceremoniously: “I’ve come with an invitation. Is this how the Medicine Clan treats its guests now?”

Yao Wangui snorted: “Some people just like to flatter themselves.”

It was clear that Yao Wangui knew that if it were solely based on Yao Chen’s own ability, even becoming a Dou Sheng might not qualify him for an invitation.

Yao Chen averted his gaze, not intending to waste any more words with Yao Wangui.

He didn’t mind wasting time, but he had to consider Soul Cang’s feelings.

The two then walked away. Soul Cang calmly glanced at Yao Wangui, shaking his head slightly. Perhaps a great disaster was about to befall him, yet he still had the heart to be sarcastic here.

Yao Wangui turned his head to look at Soul Cang’s retreating figure, a trace of solemnity creeping onto his face.

Previously in the Demon Flame Space, he had made a move against Soul Cang, and the sense of crisis in his heart back then was not nearly as strong as it was today.

What a monster! Yao Wangui thought to himself.

If it weren’t for Soul Cang standing beside Yao Chen, he would have definitely stopped Yao Chen today to say a few more words before giving up.

Yao Wangui continued to move through the crowd, greeting guests with a smile, every word and action polite.

For this Medicine Ceremony, the Medicine Clan had specially arranged a mountain peak to host guests, where alchemy and pill refinement competitions would be held.

In a short while, the mountain peak was bustling with people, and most of the pre-arranged seats were occupied.

At this moment, Yao Wangui stopped talking to the person in front of him and, together with him, looked towards the entrance of the Medicine World.

Others on the mountain peak did the same.

Soul Cang, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, also opened them, looking towards the place from which a somewhat familiar aura emanated: “Soul Void Son has arrived… It seems they still chose to target the Medicine Clan first.”

A figure, smiling, flew from a distance and slowly landed on the mountain peak.

The newcomer wore a black robe, appearing ordinary and having a benevolent smile, yet it caused many to show fear in their eyes.

Among them, a small group of people surged with Dou Qi, emanating a captivating pressure that, following their gaze, pressed towards Soul Void Son.

These people wore unified clothing and came from the Dan Tower.

Soul Void Son did not look left or right, locking onto a figure and walking straight towards him: “My dear disciple, do you not greet your teacher when you see him?”

Looking at the figure before him, Soul Cang frowned, slowly raised his head, and said indifferently: “Elder Soul Void Son, with your meager strength, you are not worthy to be my teacher.”

Having never treated Soul Cang as a disciple, Soul Void Son was not surprised by Soul Cang’s reaction. He was somewhat calm, a smile curving at the corner of his mouth: “Your wings have hardened, and you speak with confidence now. You weren’t like this before.”

Soul Cang said lightly: “It was originally just a transaction, each taking what they needed. If Elder Soul Void Son had taken a little more practical action, I might have truly acknowledged you as my teacher.”

However, Soul Void Son seemed afraid of being associated with Soul Cang and waved his hand: “I cannot bear the wrath of those in the clan.”
