Chapter 137: Three Pharmacists
ime, he also knew it was not the time to praise Jiang Yun. Instead, he took a deep breath and roared: "Activate the Mountain Protection Formation!"Elder Han's voice echoed throughout the entire Yaoshe...The numerous cultivators who had gathered dispersed under the guidance of servants from the Luo family. The Inverse Demon Bridge reopened its full array of restrictions, and the Luo family castle gates closed, restoring everything to its original state.
To entertain these distinguished guests who traveled from afar, the Luo family naturally arranged a lavish feast.
At the banquet, although everyone was drinking and having a good time, talking freely, no one dared to mention Jiang Yun or even the Reverse Demon Bridge.
Because this is the Luo family's territory, to discuss matters concerning the Question Dao Sect disciples in front of them would be a grave disrespect to the Luo family.
Besides, after witnessing the terrifying demons surging from that abyss, they had a newfound appreciation for the Luo family's strength.
As a family of cultivators, the Luo family's overall strength might not be as great as that of a sect, but as practitioners of the art of taming demons, their powerful foundation should not be underestimated.
Tonight, the happiest person has to be Luo Lingxiao.
Not only did he kill Jiang Yun, who was at the tenth level of the Tongmai realm, but he also learned that tomorrow in the competition, he would be bringing out the Golden Armored Demon Ape to fight.
While others may not know, he is all too familiar with the terror of the Jin Gang Demon Ape.
Although it was only a first-order demon beast, its strength was so great that it could easily crush all opponents. This allowed Luo Lingxiao's name to spread through the mouths of these guests.
In other words, tomorrow will be Luo Lingxiao's day to shine!
Although he was happy, tonight's banquet wasn't really about him, Luo Lingxiao, or his ancestor Luo Qing. It was about three other people instead.
Three alchemists from Yaoshenzong!
Apart from the young couple who watched Jiang Yun walk across the Demon Bridge with Luo Lingxiao in the afternoon, the leader of the delegation sent by the Yaoshenzong this time was a third-rank alchemist.
Though the title "Three-Product Alchemist" may not seem particularly high-ranking, within the entire Shan Hai Realm, there are very few sects that possess a Three-Product Alchemist.
Apart from the Yaosheng Sect, there are only two other major sects: the Lunhui Sect and the Myriad Demon Cave.
More importantly, the reason why Yaoshhen Sect sent people to Luo's house for the birthday celebration this time is twofold: firstly, to thank the Luo family for their care of the Yaoshhen Sect's shop in Nanshang City over the years.
And another purpose is to take this opportunity to see if there are any cultivators with great talent in the Dao of Medicine.
In other words, Yaoshensong is recruiting disciples!
This is also the true reason why so many cultivators came to celebrate Luo's birthday.
Even though the Luo family is skilled at managing their affairs, their strength is ultimately inferior to that of the major sects. Their ancestor, Luo Qing's, thousand-year birthday, on an ordinary day, would at most have some friendly forces come to congratulate them. It's impossible for so many cultivators to be present.
These cultivators, in fact, mostly came for the Yaoshhenzong.
It is important to know that the Yaoshenzong, as the largest pharmacy sect in the Shanhai realm, generally does not intervene in disputes between major forces and always maintains a detached position. Even the Lunhui Sect treats it with courtesy.
After all, alchemists are simply too important.
Of course, this also led to the extremely strict rules of Yaoshensong. Those who were not disciples of the sect were not allowed to enter its location. It is conceivable that their requirements for accepting disciples are even more difficult to imagine.
Therefore, after hearing the news that Yaoshending would be sending people to recruit disciples this time, almost every sect and powerful family took advantage of the celebration as an excuse to bring their most outstanding members.
If one could join the Yaoshén Sect, even if they couldn't become a high-level alchemist, at least they would have established a relationship with the Yaoshén Sect. In the future, when it comes to the demand for pills, it would be much easier. Therefore, naturally everyone wouldn't want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Under Luo Baichuan's personal escort, the three people from Yaoshengzong finally arrived late and appeared at the banquet, which immediately caused cheers from everyone.
Of the three, besides the young couple who had arrived in the afternoon, there was also a man in his thirties. He looked cold and aloof, as if he disliked socializing.
When Jiang Yun walked across the Inverse Demon Bridge in the afternoon, Luo Lingxiao naturally invited him, but he was too lazy to even look.
Luo Baichuan smiled and waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet. He pointed at the middle-aged man and said: "I would like to introduce these three distinguished guests from Yaoshenzong to you all. This is Master Xiao Zheng, a third-grade alchemist."
Then, he pointed to the man and woman and said: “These two are the junior brothers and sisters of Master Xiao Zheng. This one is Master Liu Hao, and this one is Master Xie Xiaoyong. Don't be fooled by their young age, they are both second-rank alchemists!”
Liu Hao, of course, was the man who always wore an air of arrogance.
Luo Baichuan's introduction only intensified the arrogance on his face. Although he tried hard to appear calm, under the scrutiny of so many eyes, it was difficult to conceal the pride and excitement in his eyes.
On the contrary, Xie Xiaoyong was not only beautiful, but even in the face of so many people, she could still remain calm and composed, smiling politely at the crowd.
After hearing Luo Baichuan's introduction, everyone exclaimed with envy and admiration again.
Even though Du Guirong was quite old, he was only a second-rank alchemist. Liu Hao and Xie Xiaoyong were no older than twenty, but they were already second-rank alchemists.
It's not hard to imagine that their talent in the pharmaceutical field must be extraordinary, and their future prospects are absolutely limitless.
The appearance of the three alchemists immediately pushed the banquet's atmosphere to a climax. Everyone scrambled forward to toast the trio, trying to build relationships.
"However, Xiao Zheng just had a cold face and waved his hand. "No need for alcohol, I just came to say hello to everyone. There's nothing else, I'll go back first. Liu Hao, Xiaoyong, if you want to stay, stay, but remember, don't overindulge!"
After he finished speaking, he actually turned around and walked away. Xie Xiaoyong hesitated for a moment before also smiling apologetically at the crowd and saying, "I'm not feeling well either. You all enjoy yourselves, I'll take my leave first!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, he had already followed Xiao Zheng out, leaving only Liu Hao still in the hall.
Scanning the crowd with eager eyes, Liu Hao let out a hearty laugh and said, “Don't worry everyone, tonight we'll definitely drink until we're all tipsy!”
Upon hearing his words, everyone surged forward and surrounded him!
After returning home, Xiao Zheng glanced at Xie Xiaoyong and said, "Sister Xiaoyong, is something on your mind"
Xie Xiaoyong smiled and shook his head, "It's nothing really, just remembered the Question Dao Sect disciple Jiang Yun who walked the Reverse Demon Bridge this afternoon."
Xiao Zheng, in front of his junior sister, didn't continue to frown. He even smiled and said, "I heard about it too. It's a pity that Jiang Yun was actually at the tenth level of Pulse Opening Realm, but he died like that. However, he and your sister don't have much relationship. Could it be that your sister had her eye on him"
This sentence instantly made Xie Xiaoyong's face flush red, and she glared at Xiao Zhendao; "What are you talking about, senior brother! I was just feeling sorry for him, especially Luo Lingxiao. He twice tried to harm him."
After a moment's pause, Xie Xiaoyong lowered his voice and said, "I even speculate that the last cloud mist demon appeared entirely unrelated to the Reverse Demon Bridge. It's highly possible it was also intentionally created by Luo Lingxiao. Otherwise, Jiang Yun would definitely have been able to cross the Reverse Demon Bridge."
Xiao Zheng's smile vanished from his face, and he said solemnly, "Junior Sister, you can tell me this, but please don't tell anyone else!"
"Our Yaoshenzong has always stayed out of any disputes. This feud between the Luo family and Wendaozong predates this, so Jiang Yun's death is their own business."
Moreover, as cultivators, we walk against the heavens. Life and death are predetermined. Junior Sister, you mustn't dwell on this matter. Avoid forming any knots in your heart, for it will greatly hinder your future cultivation!
"Don't worry, Senior Brother. I won't."
Xie Xiaoyong realized that if he continued, his senior brother's misunderstanding might deepen. He hurriedly changed the subject and said: "By the way, senior brother, have you heard any news about that ancient master in Nánxīng City"
