Chapter 304: Fighter's Training

Translator: WQL Editor: Millman97

The storm lasted 2 weeks. 6 days after Zhang Tie saved Du Yuhan, he finally accomplished the first round of advancement of his ancestral bloodline - precise throwing - after 2 months' practice.

He accomplished this round of advancement perfectly. When Zhang Tie used a finger-sized javelin to lock onto wild wolves precisely which were over 100 m away, Zhang Tie knew that he had accomplished his advancement.

From then on, he didn't have to depend on javelins or the size of the weapon. As long as he locked onto the target, Zhang Tie would accomplish the precise throw.

After that, Zhang Tie was so excited that he even tried throwing shells, stones, snails, knives and long swords. The fact was that no matter what the item was, as long as they were held by Zhang Tie and was thrown out with a terrifying strength, they would exert a huge destructive force.

Anything, once reaching a certain speed, would bring a huge destructive force.

With Zhang Tie's great strength, those items could fly very fast.

In order to achieve explosiveness, Zhang Tie even tried to accomplish throwing training in the sea.

In the same 2 weeks, the situation on the east continent varied fast. More news about the discovery of demons on Hurricane Plateau came into Hidden Dragon Palace. In the task hall of Breaking Heaven Department, the Hidden Dragon Palace had officially released the clan training task about hunting demons on the Hurricane Plateau.

Everybody who was above LV 6 could attend this clan training task. The only requirement was that everybody who attended this task should at least have passed all the compulsory courses for fighters.

This task would proceed by batches. Each batch lasted 3 months. Each batch was available for 50 students in the Breaking Heaven Department.

This task shocked the Breaking Heaven Department. Zhang Tie's cousin Zhang Su applied to attend the first batch of training. One day, Zhang Su and the other 49 people took an airship sent by the Zhang clan and left from the Hidden Dragon Island for the Hurricane Plateau which neighbored Golan Empire.

Most of the first batch of trainees were above LV 7. It was said that 1/3 of them were from the Hidden Dragon Fighting Force List.

By killing each demon, the fighter would gain 100 clan contribution points as a payment. This made many people drip off saliva. However, from the award, everybody knew that this task was very risky. Fighting demons wasn't funny - at all.

The reason that demons were terrifying was that all the demons would be equal to LV 6 human fighters when they became adult without having to cultivate themselves.

That was why people could not be called fighters until they reach LV 6. This standard was set to fight common, mature demons. Those people who could not reach LV 6 could only be called warriors.

This ability of demons was really terrifying. In contrast, the good news for human beings was that all the demons had to devour the other demons in order to accomplish their rite of passage. That was a genetic plunder. The bad news was that demons could also accomplish their rite of passage through devouring human beings.

This explained why human beings were demons' implacable foe. Because all human beings were their supper and dim sum.

Not all the demons in the demon troops were adults; however, the lowest level of those demons who were about to be adults were already LV 5 warriors. With the arrival of the holy war, more and more demons would accomplish their rite of passage on the battlefield.

What made the demon corps terrifying was that each corps of demons would grow more powerful through battles. In the later period of the early 2 holy wars between human beings and demons, all the remained corps of demons were terrifying killing machines being composed of adult demons. These killing machines brought huge destruction to human world.

Finally, what enabled human beings to survive the 2 earlier holy wars between human beings and demons was not human beings' fighting force but their excellent reproductive ability.

Such a task was nothing to do with Zhang Tie at all at least for the time being. Therefore, Zhang Tie could only diligently lay a solid foundation on the Hidden Dragon Island.

Only a few days after the storm, Zhang Tie had already left the Pearl Field and ended his task as a yaksha in the sea.

This task lasted 9 weeks which brought Zhang Tie 540 clan contribution points.

With these clan contribution points, Zhang Tie could finally attend the training of compulsory courses for official fighters.

There were 6 compulsory courses for fighters in the Breaking Heaven Department, namely fundamental movements, fundamental swordsmanship, shield defense skill, preliminary archery, flying skill, and horsemanship.

Because of lacking foundation, Zhang Tie really lacked the training of these fundamental skills at the present.

Actually, Zhang Tie was an emulative guy. Although those girls of Breaking Heaven Department wanted to find him trouble when he attended the training of fundamental movements and shield defense skill, Zhang Tie still chose the two courses firstly.

2 days after paying 140 clan contribution points, Zhang Tie arrived at the training field for fundamental movements and saw the women who were sneering at him.

It was more like a huge steam-driven machine than a training field.

What was in front of his eyes were hydraulic metal columns which were rising and falling while being driven by steam in the training field of thousands of square meters.

Many people were jumping on the hydraulic metal columns and dodging from the high-pressure water flow shooting towards them from all directions. Those being hit by the water cannon would drop off the columns with a shrill shriek and fell into the pond below.

"Right here?" Zhang Tie pointed at those rising and falling hydraulic metal columns as he asked those women who were sneering at him.

"That would be too nice for you. That training field is for testing your fundamental movements. Its length is 100 m. Only when you could run through that passage without being wet could you pass the test for fundamental movements. You don't even know what is fundamental movements. Do you want to attend the test?"

"No crap. I know you want to deal with me. Just do it, I'm waiting for that!" With arms crossed, Zhang Tie said. As he was here, he didn't believe that they could mistreat him.

"Well! Come with us..."

Zhang Tie then followed them into a room dozens of meters long. One of the women manipulated some switches and handles on the wall. Soon after that, 6 hydraulic metal columns that were as same as those outside rose up from the ground.

They didn't stop until they reached about 4 m in the air. The area of the top of each hydraulic metal column was only as large as the mouth of a bowl, which could only hold a foot.

The moment the columns reached at the highest points, those women then exchanged glances with each other.

"Ruomei, you first or me?"

"I'll go first!"

Saying this, one woman walked to the foot of a hydraulic metal column. She then easily jumped onto the top of the 4 m high column and stably stood there with only one foot like a rooster which usually stood with one foot. At the same time, she looked at Zhang Tie proudly.

Even though Zhang Tie didn't have a good impression of the woman, he still applauded at her performance.

"It's your turn!"

"What for?" Zhang Tie became a bit puzzled.

"This is the first step for fundamental movements, quincuncial piles. You can only use your feet on the piles, instead of using your battle qi. When you could stand on the piles for 2 minutes and successfully dodged from Ruomei's kicks, you will pass the first step!"

"I'm not allowed to kick her? Wouldn't I suffer a loss then?"

"If you are that talented, you can also try to kick here. As long as you could kick her down from the quincuncial piles, you would pass this step, too!" A girl said arrogantly.

"Ok!"

Zhang Tie then walked to the foot of the piles and took a deep breath before jumped onto the top of a pile with the help of feet and hands.

If that woman called Ruomei was regarded as a swallow, Zhang Tie was just a bear who only knew how to use his strength stupidly.

Zhang Tie then stood on the top of a pile with one foot. When he looked around, he started to sway. Realizing that he could not imitate that women, Zhang Tie immediately landed his another foot on the top of another pile. After swaying twice more, he finally stood fast.

During this process, that woman who was standing on the top of one pile kept sneering over there. After Zhang Tie stood fast, she finally opened her mouth, "Are you ready?"

"Ready!"

The moment Zhang Tie finished saying "dy", he had felt dizzy as his right leg had been hooked by her foot, causing him lose his balance. As a result he directly fell off the piles with face towards the sky.

"Damnit!" Thanks to his iron-body fruits, Zhang Tie picked himself up and jumped onto the piles once again.

This time, Zhang Tie became smarter. The moment the woman intended to hook his leg, he had hurriedly moved away that foot. However, before he moved the other leg away, that woman had directly kicked onto his butt and directly sent him fly off the pile.

This time, Zhang Tie became more embarrassed. At the sight of Zhang Tie's embarrassing look, all the women revealed their sneers but hurriedly hid them.

When Zhang Tie tried for the 3rd time, he chose to launch an attack preemptively. However, before he touched the woman's clothes, he had been kicked off.

In the next 2 hours, the other women fiercely mistreated him in turn.

During this process, Zhang Tie gradually realized the secret of using quincuncial piles to train fundamental movements

This was actually a pure match problem. When one stood on one pile, if one wanted to move, one would have 5 different movements. With 6 piles, one would be familiar with 30 movements in all directions and distances.

After you turned the movements on the top of quincuncial piles into instinct, when you fought others on the land, you would have too much space to dodge.

Zhang Tie understood this secret at the price of falling onto the ground heavily with a bloody nose and a swollen face.

"Later on, you should train yourself every day. We could only 'guide' you 2 hours a day. Our guidance today has ended; we will continue tomorrow!" After saying this, the women left.

After staying in the room for awhile, Zhang Tie had become familiar with those switches. He then found the columns had been lifted to the highest points; however, their lowest positions were only 50 cm above the ground.

This was the price for offending women.

F*ck!

Chapter 305: Fermenting

Translator: WQL Editor: KLKL

After two days' thorough practice, Zhang Tie had gradually adapted to the movements on top of the fine quincuncial piles that was 4 m in height. He then became increasingly flexible and could stand longer on them. From the 3rd day onwards, it had been harder for those women to kick Zhang Tie off the piles.

Additionally,as he practised movements on the quincuncial piles, Zhang Tie gradually combined the five basic movements of iron-blood fist, which were used to coordinate the 36 free hand movements into the movements on quincuncial piles.

He was not accustomed to that at the beginning, as he previously practiced it on the ground. Yet he had to practice on the quincuncial piles now. If he were to step on the place several inches away from the right place, he would lose his balance.

However, Zhang Tie gradually became familiar with the five basic movements of iron-blood fist on the quincuncial piles.

Zhang Tie didn't know that the five basic movements of iron-blood fist on the quincuncial piles were the orthodox secret knowledge of iron-blood fist. Actually, except for the imperial households of Norman Empire, only a few people knew about this cultivation method. What Zhang Tie did instantly fixed the only shortage of his iron-blood fist.

Compared to his embarrassing state when he started to learn the fundamental movements, Zhang Tie excelled in learning the shield defense skills. That was a sharp difference.

Before he started to learn shield defense skills, Zhang Tie only knew that shields were used for defense and collision. After learning it, Zhang Tie only then knew that the three-worded skill of shield use were defense, attack and hide.

Defense referred to defense, block and protection; attack referred to collision, to move forward and to break the opponent's attacking rhythm; hide referred to the shielding of one's attacking intention during the process of the attack and defense.

Attack, defense and hide co-existed with each other. They could convert into one another and coordinate with each other for the sake of the application.

After learning shield defense skills systematically, Zhang Tie showed an extremely high talent when he used shield for the first time.

The women's alleged guidance towards Zhang Tie were to attack Zhang Tie with storm-like attacks with a short javelin, the head of which was covered with a cloth ball. During this period, Zhang Tie could only defend himself with a shield.

He was purely there to be beaten. Those women wanted to give him a good lesson; however, it was out of their imagination that Zhang Tie, with a shield in hand, totally changed. Besides the attack at the beginning which made Zhang Tie grit his teeth, towards the end, Zhang Tie resembled an oily iron tortoise that could never be hurt.

It was the same even though they had changed into other weapons to attack Zhang Tie as the shield in Zhang Tie's hand was a movable armor for him. No matter how they attacked Zhang Tie, they would be held back by his shield.

Finally, as they could not punish Zhang Tie when he practiced shield defense skills, those women directly gave up their "guidance" to Zhang Tie on shield defense skills; instead, they transferred gave him guidance on the course of "fundamental movements".

Zhang Tie remembered a sentence told by Donder——peaches and plums do not speak, yet there was a path under them. [1] No matter how, you could not lift one's morality by praising him; similarly, you could not ruin one's morality by slander and gossip.

Time was the realest eyes as it could expose one's real personality. Only those whose real personality could stand the test of time could gain others' respect, as they would definitely be more charming than those only with language talent.

Zhang Tie felt that he was in that situation.

He never thought that he had high morality; however, at least, he knew that he was not bad as he had never done any bad things like benefited while others were harmed and dropped righteousness or been lecherous at the sight of beauties. He would always respect them kind people; he would always sympathize the underprivileged ones; he would never bully timid guys.

This was what his mom had taught him since he was very young. Zhang Tie always kept it in mind.

As Zhang Tie spent more time with those women, they started to change their attitudes towards him even though Zhang Tie didn't urge for it . They started to realize that Zhang Tie was greatly different from the one described in gossip.

Zhang Tie was not as mean, shameless and lecherous as that in the gossip; instead, they could even find many good personalities of Zhang Tie.

Zhang Tie was very strong-willed; no matter how many times he was kicked off from the piles, he said nothing before he jumped back once again.

Zhang Tie was very generous. Although he would joke around with them, he would never argue about little things. Even though he suffered some braises, he just gave a big laughter and never place it in mind because Zhang Tie didn't have evil thoughts when he looked at others. After several days, they finally lost their vigilance towards him.

Speaking of being lecherous, he was only flirting with them. In daily contacts, those women found that Zhang Tie paid special respect to girls. Even on the piles, he wouldn't attack them excessively as he just narrowed the attacking range on their thighs and below their knees.

Especially after hearing that Zhang Tie had saved a girl's life at the risk of his own life when he was a yaksha in the sea and didn't expect for any payment, those women's who "educated" Zhang Tie on the piles had gradually changed their attitude towards him.

Therefore, gradually those women started to call Zhang Tie junior brother. When they stood on the piles together with Zhang Tie, they were no longer finding ways to kick him off, instead, they taught him more.

Compared to the three-worded skill of the use of the shield, the three-worded skill of the use of fundamental movements was fast, accurate and fierce——fast referred to high speed, accurate referred to precise judgement while fierce referred to great strength. After reaching the 3 basic requirements, he had to meet the further requirements: landing on the piles as steadily as a a nail being pounded into the wood by an iron hammer; moving as fast as a bolt leaving the string which was as heavy as thousand jun [2] and as light as a goose feather.

During the days when Zhang Tie were practicing the fundamental movements and shield defense skills, the effect of the solution gradually spread.

Each man had his own circle of friend, including yakshas in the sea, senior Chen in the Pearl Field, Zhu Wenqiang, Yang Yuankang and Zhang Lin from Breaking Heaven Department. After gifting a bottle of that special solution to each of them, its effect started to spread amongst those guys' friend circles.

More and more people would like to try his solution. Within a short period of time, most of the dozens of kg of special solution taken out of the Castle of Black Iron had been taken away by Zhang Tie's friends and his friends' friends.

...

On May 18, 890 of Black Iron Calendar, it was definitely a memorial day for Zhang Tie.

In the morning, it was no different from the other days. After getting up early, Zhang Tie spent 1 hour to read the last chapters of the thick book——"General History of Human Beings". After breakfast, he started his monotonous and hard learning and practiced about the compulsory courses for fighters.

Accepting the suggestion of those senior sisters, Zhang Tie included preliminary archery and the fundamental swordsmanship into his daily exercise in the previous 2 days. Now, Zhang Tie needed to practice four courses; instead of two.

Now, Zhang Tie could only rest less than 5 hours a day. He used to leave his residence at 6 am and came back at 1-2 am in the midnight when he was tired.

Zhang Tie felt that he had completely changed himself into a machine since he came to the Hidden Dragon Palace.

When he was in the Zhixing Department, he was a set of machine for picking navy-blue iron ores. When he was in the Breaking Heaven Department, in order to make clan contribution points, he became a diving machine. After making enough clan contribution points to apply for compulsory courses, Zhang Tie became other machines.

When he was learning the fundamental movements, Zhang Tie became a machine that jumped here and there on the quincuncial piles; when he was learning the shield defense skills, Zhang Tie became a machine which was beaten with a shield; when he learned preliminary archery, Zhang Tie became a machine that had to shoot an arrow; when he learned fundamental swordsmanship, Zhang Tie became a machine that constantly practiced picking, chopping, stabbing, hacking and cutting...

Besides, he was also a machine which only knew how to sleep, eat and shit.

He had been in the Hidden Dragon Island for over half a year. Besides monotonous training and tasks, he didn't do anything else. Compared to such a lifestyle, his survival training in the Wild Wolf Valley was as sweet as lovers who were having a holiday.

Even when he was in the Iron-Blood Camp, Zhang Tie didn't lived that hard.

Zhang Tie knew that he had no other choice. Although he could live a more relaxed life, facing the sense of crisis brought by the third holy war between human beings and demons constantly drove Zhang Tie to run forward while he gritted his teeth. He didn't even dare to slightly loosen up.

It was a good day. Before he entered the training field for fundamental movements, Zhang Tie raised his head and looked up at the azure sky.

The azure sky reminded Zhang Tie of that sapphire ring he gifted Alice. The moment Zhang Tie thought about Alice, he remembered his friends in the Blackhot City.

'How are they now?'

Zhang Tie mumbled as he shook his head to drive all the thoughts out of his mind. He then pushed open the gate of the training field...

Zhang Tie didn't know that he was going to be rich in this common day.

...

When Zhang Tie entered the training field for fundamental movements, at the entrance of the Dragon Cave, Yang Yuankang and some of Zhang Tie's friends in Breaking Heaven Department had just ended their tasks as yakshas in the sea and were checking their equipment. They were ready to enter the underground world to hunt the LV 7 centipede.

Like bezoar in ox, stone of gallbladder, kidney and bladder in dogs, pearls in seashells, there were also some precious items in the magical beasts and the mutated living beings. People could find magical cores from very few centipedes.

Centipede's magical core was a treasure which was mainly used to form battle qi and increase the power of battle qi.

In the latest months, the purchasing price of centipede's magical core quoted in the Breaking Heaven Department had already reached 1200 gold coins, which was almost two times more compared to last year's.

In order to make money, Yang Yuankang and some friends decided to enter the underground world to make money at the risk of their lives.

"We'd better check our own equipments and medicaments one more time in case of the worst scenario. What was most important was that we should make sure that we've taken LV 1 antidote!" As the leader of the team, before going down, Yang Yuankang reminded the others.

"Don't worry. We've taken them all. But the price of antidote had risen again. Now, each vial of antidote would cost us 5 gold coins and 60 silver coins, while each vial of night viewing medicament had risen to 40 silver coins. Damned! if we cannot obtain a centipede's magical core, we would suffer a loss this time!" A person said gloomily.

"Zhang Feng, the antidote will be used in saving your life. Once you were hit by the the venom of the centipede, if you don't drink the antidote, you would lose your life in a couple of minutes! Although it's expensive, it could never match your life!"

"I was just complaining about it. Those alchemists are really good at making money. Many vials of antidote would be sold on the Hidden Dragon Island. Compared to them, we are so stupid. We have to risk our lives to make a bit of money..."

"You only see the thief eating meat, you've not seen them being beaten. Each of the alchemists who could make antidotes on the Hidden Dragon Craftsmanship List and the Hidden Dragon Wealth List had experienced many hardships. Who were born to be able to produce antidotes. Even though antidotes could bring them money, they could not be easily produced!" Yang Yuankang spoke to Zhang Feng with a smile.

That man called Zhang Feng then gave back a smile as he recalled something. He then patted on the medicament container on his waist, "Yuankang, whether this solution distributed by you is as marvelous as you told us?"

"Trust me, when we have no weapons and rations, if we drink that solution, we could definitely last longer!" Yang Yuankang replied with confidence. This was discovered by Yang Yuankang, Zhu Wenqiang and Zhang Lin after they concluded their experiences from several occasions.

Zhang Tie's solution seemed very nutritious. After 100 ml of that solution was drank, one could remain energetic for another 10 hours.

For hunting centipede's magical cores, Yang Yuankang shared some of the solution which was gifted by Zhang Tie with the others. Each team member possessed one vial of the solution for emergency uses.

In Yang Yuankang's opinion, Zhang Tie could definitely sell his solution.

After the confirmation, everybody dripped some night viewing medicament into their eyes. After that, under the leadership of Yang Yuankang, the team of 6 entered the Dragon Cave..

Chapter 306: Fortune Day

Translator: WQL Editor: Millman97

Soon after Yang Yuankang and his hunting team entered the Dragon Cave, the manager of the Long Wind Pearl Field started to suffer from a stomachache again.

The manager was called Zhang Heng, who was an elder of Long Wind Business Group under the affiliation of Huaiyuan Palace. He had served Long Wind Business Group for dozens of years. Recently he hadn't been as healthy as before because of his age; however, he couldn't stand being lonely, therefore, it was arranged for him to work as a manager of the Pearl Field on Hidden Dragon Island. Because there was little work to do in the Pearl Field, it was an easy job for him. Actually, it was almost like having a vacation.

In the early morning, soon after he got up, Manager Zhang suffered his stomachache once again.

He had been troubled with gastric ulcers for many years. Besides paying special attention to his diet, he had also tried many acupuncture therapies and medicine which were all very limited in effect.

Even while he suffered from that scorching pain which extended like a wildfire in his stomach, manager Zhang still wanted to make a patrol around the Pearl Field.

In contrast, the yakshas in the sea near the Pearl Field looked so energetic these days. Even though they had not been assigned with the task, they still went in the sea in the early morning to guide the young men to practice diving skills. This made manager Zhang Tie reassured.

Soon after making an inspection tour, manager Zhang returned to the office. He then covered his mouth with a handkerchief and started to cough heavily.

However, this time, he tasted blood in his mouth. After coughing, he looked at his handkerchief and was shocked by the red color mixed in with the mucus.

Is it really that severe? Gazing at the blood on his handkerchief, manager Zhang forced a bitter smile. The doctor had told him that if his gastric ulcer became severe, he would suffer a complication of spitting blood, which indicated that his blood vessels had been influenced. When this truly happened, it would be dangerous.

Heavy coughing, hemoptysis, plus increasingly scorching pain made manager Zhang weak for quite a while. Sitting on the chair in his office a bit tiredly, manager Zhang touched his upper abdomen and gasped for quite a while before relieved it a bit.

Hearing manager Zhang's heavy coughs, senior Chen ran into his office, "Manager Zhang, are you okay? How about calling a doctor for you from White Dragon Town?"

Senior Chen also knew that manager Zhang had suffered this illness for many years; however, hearing him coughing especially heavily today and seeing his forehead turn blue while the veins on his forehead almost pop out, senior Chen started to concern about him.

"Hehe, it's okay, senior Chen. No need to trouble you. I know my disease very much..." Saying this, manager Zhang silently put away his handkerchief, "You've been here for many years, after this year, I prepare to recommend you to the superior officer and let you take over my seat as I might not be able to stay longer on this position."

Hearing this, senior Chen hurriedly wove his hand, face turned blushed, "Manager Zhang, I don't mean that..."

"Senior Chen, listen to me. We've been working for several years. I know your personality very much. I've worked for so many years. In the past, I could not stand being alone; now, I'm old and am not after fame and wealth any more. Therefore, I want to have a good rest at home and accompany my grandsons. As you've been very familiar with the affairs in the Pearl Field, it would be most proper for you to take over my position after I leave..."

Saying this, manager Zhang looked at senior Chen. These days, senior Chen looked very energetic; his face looked better one day after another. Compared to manager Zhang, senior Chen at least could work 10 more years in the Pearl Field according to his current condition.

"Manager Zhang, I think you've not got the proper prescription. Take me and some old buddies in the Pearl Field as an example, after working in the sea for half of our lives, we were always tortured by rheumatism and arthritis and felt that we could not stand any longer. But, now, as we've met the most proper prescription, we become fully energetic once again!"

Manager Zhang heard the news that senior Chen and some yakshas in the sea had greatly recovered from rheumatism and arthritis that they had been suffering for so many years. He didn't pay more attention to this news. In his opinion, this was because they were just fortunate enough.

Hearing that they drank a special solution brewed by a young yaksha in the Pearl Field called Zhang Tie using a secret knowledge, manager Zhang then took this as an eccentric medicament. Besides feeling lucky for them and praising Zhang Tie's talent, manager Zhang didn't think too much about that.

For the words that the solution could make ones more energetic and feel not tired, manager Zhang thought that was a bit exaggerating. For him who had seen so many things, it was actually not difficult to reach the same effect. After drinking a bowl of ginseng braised with chicken soup, he could almost realize the same effect.

"Is that solution given by Zhang Tie truly that good?" Hearing senior Chen mention that thing once again, manager Zhang then casually asked.

"It's not good, it's marvelous. Since drinking that thing, I and the other old buddies didn't suffer from arthritis any more. What's more, we all feel healthier these days like having become several years younger!"

The moment he mentioned the solution gifted by Zhang Tie, senior Chen had become spirited. Because the solution was too effective, senior Chen and his other old buddies asked for some more from him and carefully hid it. These days, they would only drink a small mouth of that solution everyday as they all felt recovering vitality.

"Hehe, you're lucky enough to meet the right prescription..."

"Manager Zhang, that thing could not only cure our diseases, senior Wei told me that yesterday his grandson got a fever and caught a cold. He kept crying. As the boiled decoction of the medicinal ingredients tasted too bitter, his grandson didn't eat it. As a result, the whole family became so anxious just like ants on the hot pot, including senior Wei, guess what?"

"What?" Being curious about senior Chen's words, manager Zhang kept asking.

"Heh heh, since realizing the marvelous effect of the thing given by Zhang Tie, senior Wei bought a beautiful and delicate silver kettle and put them inside the kettle. In usual time, he would take the kettle with him like treating a treasure. Yesterday, his grandson cried because of catching a cold, senior Wei then teased him with that silver kettle; however, he had not imagined that the moment his grandson smelt the flavor of the solution from the mouth of the kettle, he desperately wanted to eat what was inside. Senior Wei then opened it and let his grandson drink several mouthfuls. The result was that soon after drinking that, his grandson had become calm. In 1 hour, his grandson's cold and fever had relieved and finally was cured!"

"It also works on fever?" Hearing this news, manager Zhang became dumbfounded for a while. This folk's prescription seemed to have too many effects. It didn't seem possible. But he believed that senior Chen wouldn't tell a lie. Because there were only several hundred people in the Pearl Field. As long as something happened, it would soon be spread among the rest.

"That's why we say it's marvelous..." senior Chen revealed a big smile, "Senior Wei even told me that he wanted some more from Zhang Tie for his grandson. Hearing senior Wei's daughter-in-law mentioning about it, some households in the Pearl Field even wanted to ask for some solution from Zhang Tie for their own kids!"

After chatting with manager Zhang for a while, senior Chen left manager Zhang's office. Sitting in his office alone, manager Zhang considered about senior Chen's words as he faintly shook his head. Perhaps, it was a just a coincidence. If that solution was really that effective, it could definitely be sold like the medicament produced by alchemists.

After senior Chen left, manager Zhang still felt a scorching stomachache. The wildfire like scorching pain was gradually enlarging. After standing it for some more minutes, senior Zhang's forehead oozed fine sweat drops.

Senior Chen's praise and favor about the strange solution kept ringing in manager Zhang's ears. Manager Zhang then pulled open a drawer under his desk.

There was also a glass bottle in the drawer, which was containing the solution which was mentioned by senior Chen. This was what Zhang Tie gifted the manager before he left the Pearl Field.

It was just a common glass. When Zhang Tie gifted it here, manager Zhang just felt that Zhang Tie was sensible. Because he regarded it as a folk prescription for curing rheumatism and arithmetic, he just put it into a drawer.

At this time, manager Zhang took out of the bottle.

The color of the solution inside the bottle looked very energetic as the golden color was mixed with a faint green color.

Remembering that senior Chen said it smelt very good, even kids wanted to eat it. Being driven by curiosity, manager Zhang opened the lid of the bottle and smelt it carefully.

He smelt a strange and refreshing flavor.

Only after smelling several times, manager Zhang had started to drool. Having lost appetite from early morning until the present due to the intense pain, manager Zhang suddenly felt hungry and wanting to eat something.

After taking a careful look at the solution, manager Zhang couldn't stand to have a sip like drinking alcohol.

It tasted really good. He then took another sip...

In only half a minute, manager Zhang had felt a wisp of cold and comfortable sense from his stomach which was suffering from a scorching ache. In a short while, that fire in his stomach had been dying out.

"Wuh..."

At the beginning, manager Zhang thought it was an illusion. After sensing it seriously, he realized it was true.

He then took another big mouth of that solution before rested in the chair with his eyes closed.

10 minutes later, manager Zhang became so excited that he directly stood up with his eyes shimmering brightly. Fixing his eyes on that bottle of solution, when he wanted to take another mouthful and had an another look at it, manager Zhang found his hand was shivering..

Chapter 307: Fortune Day II

Translator: WQL Editor: EbonyFrost

The underground world was as vast as the sea. Even though one had reached 5-6 km away from the mouth of the Dragon Cave, it only equaled to coming to the beach, still a distance away from the real sea.

When manager Zhang carefully asked those who had used Zhang Tie's solution in his office about the effect of the solution, the centipede hunting team, led by Yang Yuankang, had already delved into Dragon Cave and arrived in an underground space where huge centipedes were always seen.

The underground karst where most of the Hell-black spiders gathered was more than 3000 m away from the entrance of Dragon Cave. However, huge centipedes lived in a darker place. Only when they reached 5000-6000 m away from the entrance could they see huge centipedes.

In the ecological system of the underground world, huge centipedes had a very wide range of food. All the rotten animals, the corpses of magical beasts, those mutated underground snails and huge flies that liked to wander among the various underground fungi and plants were the food of huge centipedes. Sometimes, if huge centipedes were too hungry, they could even engulf the Hell-black spiders.

Compared to Hell-black spiders, centipedes were much larger. Most of them were longer than 10 m. Additionally, centipedes moved more swiftly. Those centipedes hiding in the seams could charge at you at any time and cause a fatal harm on you.

What made people more worried were that huge centipedes' shells were much stronger than that of the Hell-black spiders. They were much more difficult to pierce. This was an underground creature with a very powerful vitality. Even if they were broken into halves, they could still stay alive for 1 week before death.

Most people who ventured into the living area of centipedes were there to attempt advancement to level 7. Compared to the difficulty of forming battle qi at level 6, when they reached level 7, the formed battle qi would be like dried straws; as long as they absorb a ball of soul fire, it would lead to a new battle totem.

All the members of the huge centipede hunting team were level 7 fighters. Each of them had been here many times. Soon after they entered the underground living area of centipedes, they had met their first prey.

For level 7 fighters, it wasn't too hard to deal with a centipede. Through cooperation, it only took them several minutes to kill the centipede.

After that, a fighter used a huge ax and opened the hardest head.

Although no magical core was found, they didn't become disappointed as it would be too lucky for them if they could find a magical core from the first huge centipede. Before coming down, they already prepared to gain nothing.

Many people from Breaking-Heavens Department were here to hunt for huge centipedes' magical cores every day; however, above 98% of them might not see one huge centipede's magical core for 1 week's work as the possibility for huge centipedes to produce magical cores was less than 1/1000.

Because there was no magical core inside it, they only took its fist-sized venom container. At least they could sell it for some money. There were some business groups purchasing venom containers of huge centipedes at the price of 2 silver coins each. They could be made into medicines including poison and medicament that could cure venom, relieve inflammation, and sores.

The huge centipede's shell could also be made into a special glue. However, as it was cheap and was difficult to deal with, besides special personnel who were dispatched here from business groups above to clean up and collect these things, the other people would feel reluctant to deal with such cumbersome things.

"Let's go for the second target. We're in a persistent war, watch out everyone." After receiving no gains, Yang Yuankang called others to continue walking forward.

Fortunately, 7 hours later, after they killed the 34th huge centipede in a narrow crack and opened its head, they finally found one magical core.

It was a grape-sized bead which radiated a faint red light in the dark underground cave.

At the sight of this bead, everybody was amazed as they hadn't imagined that they could gain one so easily today. However, dangers always came when people let their guards down. When they were excited about their achievement, another huge centipede suddenly drilled out and charged towards them by springing up its body from 10 m away.

Two huge centipedes lived in this crack, not one.

"Watch out!"

Yang Yuankang was the first one who responded as he immediately shouted loudly and jumped up. At the same time, he broke out his battle qi once again...

In a split second, a great amount of fine venom was sprouted out of the huge centipede's mouth and was covering towards them like suddenly sprayed raindrops. Although they all responded quickly, facing such an undifferentiated attack, 3 people of the team were still sprayed by the venom.

After dozens of seconds, the second huge centipede was also killed in the most violent way by them; however, those guys who were splashed by the venom also started feeling its effects.

The venom of huge centipede was known for its extremely strong permeability and slight corrosivity. Once sprayed, it would be no different from being bitten by the huge centipede as its venom would permeate into your blood through your skin as soon as possible.

"Argh, I might have been splashed by its venom..."

"So was I..."

"Hurry up, check up yourself. As long as you find being splashed by its venom, drink your antidote as soon as possible!" Yang Yuankang raised his voice.

Only after 1 minute, Zhang Feng had already felt his pulse and heart racing. Additionally, he started to feel disgusting and a bit dizzy. At the same time, he's tongue gradually became stiff and numb.

"F*ck!" Zhang Feng swore as he touched his neck when he felt the location on his neck which was close to the left side of his jaw was a bit hot just like having been burnt by some drops of hot water

As people's neck was very close to one's heart and brain, therefore, the venom of huge centipede would act on one's neck faster than other places. Zhang Feng became a bit hurried as he opened his medicament capsule and pulled out of a vial of antidote. After opening its lid, he instantly engulfed it, making a sound of "Gulp Gulp"

In less than 1 minute after he drunk it, he had already felt better. The disgusting feeling gradually disappeared. Then, his tongue also recovered flexibility; he became more conscious; what was more, his pulse and heart beat also recovered.

"Wait, this antidote doesn't feel good!"

After recovering his sense of taste, Zhang Feng sucked his lip as he felt it tasted not as same as those before.

...

"Is everybody okay?"

"Okay, f*ck, but I wouldn't have imagined that there were two huge centipedes in the crack. If we've didn't find the magical core, we've already suffered a loss now!"

"If not for that magical core, we might not have been that easily attacked by that bi**h!"

The members started to discuss.

"Feng, are you all right?" Seeing Zhang Feng staying still over there after drinking the antidote, Yang Yuankang walked towards him as he started to worry about him. He then patted Zhang Feng's shoulder and asked.

The other guys who noticed Zhang Feng's situation also walked towards him. Some of them instantly noticed those red points on his neck where had been splashed by the venom.

Thinking that Zhang Feng had been poisoned, Yang Yuankang hurriedly grabbed his hand as he touched Zhang Feng's pulse. However, he found Zhang Feng's pulse was steady, no signal of being poisoned at all.

Everybody then noticed Zhang Feng's extremely weird expression.

"What's wrong?" Yang Yuankang asked out of curiosity.

"Head, is that solution you gave me is able to help people recover vitality?" Zhang Feng asked Yang Yuankang in a curious expression.

"That thing is very effective to rheumatism and arithmetic! Some people who had tried it all said it was marvelous!"

"What else?"

"What do you mean?"

"I find... that medicament might also be used to detoxify venom!" Zhang Feng said in a lowered tone.

"What? How?"

Facing the other's dubious eyes, Zhang Feng put his hand into his medicament capsule again and pulled out another vial of medicament. After that, he presented that empty vial, "After being poisoned just now, I made a mistake and took the medicament which was given by the head. However, the real antidote is still here. Soon after I drunk that medicament, the symptoms of being poisoned had disappeared!"

Looking at the two vials of medicament that were almost the same size, everybody became stunned immediately as it was really out of their imagination.

The most shocked one was Yang Yuankang. After being dumbfounded for several seconds, Yang Yuankang made one thing that was out of everybody else's expectation——He directly opened his palm skin using his dagger and squeezed a bit venom out of the huge centipede's venom container onto the wound. After half a minute, he took out of the vial of solution which was given by Zhang Tie and bottomed it up in front of the others.

Everybody then fixed their eyes on Yang Yuankang without a wink.

Only after 2 minutes, Yang Yuankang had already shown an uncontrolled expression...

"It truly works..."

"In a split second, Yang Yuankang's head was filled with many thoughts. After thinking for almost 1 minute, Yang Yuankang started to recover his composure.

"Let's go back to the Breaking-Heavens Department!"

Zhang Tie might not know about the true value of that solution that he brewed. As his friend, Yang Yuankang thought he was obligated to tell Zhang Tie that those solutions that he brewed were not only solutions but a real medicament. He should tell Zhang Tie about the true value of the medicament.

Yang Yuankang then exchanged glances with the other members who went down the underground cave. From then on, the value of Zhang Tie's solution soon spread in Breaking-Heavens Department.

Chapter 308: Cooperation

Translator: WQL Editor: Millman97

When Zhang Tie finished his day's training and went back to his residence, he saw Yang Yuankang waiting for him on the ground floor of the Songtao Pavilion with some other senior brothers from Breaking-Heavens Department. The moment they saw him, Yang Yuankang hurriedly waved hands towards him while the other guys instantly cast their eyes onto Zhang Tie.

"Senior Yang, it's been so late, what's up?" Zhang Tie revealed a big smile.

It was truly very late. As the swordsmanship training gym in the Breaking-Heavens Department wasn't locked up until 11 pm, Zhang Tie always returned Songtao Pavilion after the training gym was closed. Therefore, it was almost 12 pm.

"Hoho, I'm here to congratulate you, junior brother Zhang Tie!" Yang Yuankang smiled. As they had sold the huge centipede's magical core the moment they returned and each of them had gained a lot from it, they were all very happy, including Yang Yuankang.

"Congratulate me?" Zhang Tie stared at Yang Yuankang in a dubious expression, "but why?"

"Junior brother Zhang Tie would enter the Hidden Dragon Wealth List very soon. Of course, we're here to congratulate you!"

"Senior brother Yang, you must be kidding me. I truly have some money now, but I won them from the bet with those in the Zhixing Department. Even including the debts that have not been cleared up, they are just 2000 gold coins in total. I even spent a lot. Each of the guys on the Hidden Dragon Wealth List have above hundreds of thousands of gold coins, compared with them, my small amount is nothing!" Zhang Tie shook his head.

Yang Yuankang smiled before he told Zhang Tie about the effect of that solution given by Zhang Tie that they found in the Dragon Island.

After hearing that his solution could detoxify venom very effectively, Zhang Tie was really shocked as he had not imagined that his solution could have that effect, "Senior brother Yang, you mean that solution could detoxify venom?"

"You didn't know about that?"

Zhang Tie tried to recover his composure before he asked, "I really didn't know about it. When I first gained the secret knowledge, I knew nothing about its effect except for feeling very comfortable after drinking it. I couldn't have imagined that it could detoxify venom!"

"The effect of your solution could definitely match that of a LV 1 antidote. Even if you only sell it at the price of an antidote, you could still gain thousands of gold coins a day. It's just a matter of time before you enter the Hidden Dragon Wealth List. Additionally, that solution has other marvelous effects. It could definitely be very useful in the future! We were wondering, how much of it do you still have?"

"Only little of the first batch is left. If senior brother Yang wants it, I can gift you some!"

"Now that we know your solution is very precious, how could we ask for your thing for free!" Yang Yuankang's eyes radiated shimmering lights as he continued, "We didn't just come here to tell you all this news but in order to negotiate a business deal with you!"

"Business?" In an instant, Zhang Tie had almost completely guessed Yang Yuankang's plan. He then smiled as he cast another glance over them, "Thanks for bringing me such good news, senior brother Yang. As it is almost midnight, it's not proper to talk about that here. Why not talk about it in my room!"

Yang Yuankang was also smart. Knowing that Zhang Tie had not refused it and even invited them to talk about it in his room, he knew that the business was doomed to succeed. After exchanging glances with the other guys, Yang Yuankang also saw the excitement from all the others' eyes.

Therefore, Zhang Tie invited them to enter his Xuan No.7 room.

After they sat well on the sofa and in the chairs, Yang Yuankang looked solemn.

"Junior brother, do you know how many antidotes are required on Hidden Dragon Island every day?"

Zhang Tie shook his head.

"As the Dragon Cave of Hidden Dragon Island is one of the entrances towards the underground world, there are at least thousands of warriors, fighters and adventurers deepening into the Dragon Cave to reinforce their battle qi or to seek out treasures every day. They come from all across Jinyun Country. They make the Hidden Dragon Island prosperous and many things become very urgent in demand!"

"Are antidotes items that are often in urgent demand?"

"Yes!" Yang Yuankang nodded, "This antidote is necessary for all the people entering the underground world. It could save one's life. Each people entering underground world would at least carry one vial of this antidote in case of emergency! In this case, they could see at least 500-600 vials of antidote on the Hidden Dragon Island every day. They might even sell over 1000 vials of antidote a day."

Zhang Tie nodded as he remembered that Zhang Su, his cousin also carried some vials of antidote when he took Zhang Tie to form battle qi in the Dragon Cave.

Of course, the alleged antidote could not detoxify all the poisons. Take that blue frost that he was poisoned by before as an example. Only a special antidote could detoxify it. There were some lethal poisons that could not be detoxified at all.

In this age, antidotes were always universal which was mainly targeted at detoxifying venoms possessed by various creatures and magical beasts below LV 9. They were made of special minerals.

Universal antidotes below LV 9 could be further divided into 3 levels. Those which could detoxify the venom of creatures below LV 7 belonged to LV 1 antidote; those which could detoxify the venom of creatures below LV 8 belonged to LV 2 antidotes; those which could detoxify the venom of creatures below LV 9 belonged to LV 3 antidotes.

"Although LV 1 antidotes are the most common ones, their sales volume and variety of purposes are much greater than other antidotes. They could be used in many places. Not only warriors, fighters and adventurers are equipped with this medicament, even many common households had them. Because most people are only likely to meet dangerous creatures below LV 7!"

Zhang Tie nodded once again. It was true. Take sea serpents as an example, they were just LV 0 living beings before mutation; however, for commoners, it was also very severe if being bitten by them. Among all the dangerous creatures, the amount of creatures below LV 7 occupied above 95% of the total amount of these creatures.

"According to my knowledge, the alchemists on the Hidden Dragon Island can only produce over 200 vials of LV 1 antidotes a day. The shortage in demand is transported by business groups of the Zhang clan from outside the island. Now that we already know that your medicament can detoxify venom, we can definitely make a lot using your solution!" Yang Yuankang said with a spark in his eyes.

"What's your plan, senior Yang?"

"My friends and I have just gained a huge centipede's magical core and sold it for 1200 gold coins today. We'll prepare to rent a store on the island in order to sell your medicament exclusively!"

Gradually, Yang Yuankang had changed the name of Zhang Tie's solution into "medicament".

After testing the detoxifying effect of Zhang Tie's medicament, Yang Yuankang and the others were so confident about it. They'd found a great business opportunity in it. After negotiating for a while, Yang Yuankang and the others decided to make investment using the money they made today. They prepared to make a lot by the relationship with Zhang Tie.

Zhang Tie was greatly moved by Yang Yuankang's idea.

Speaking of opening a store, Zhang Tie had much more experience than Yang Yuankang and the other guys. After assessing its feasibility, Zhang Tie started to negotiate about the cooperation with them seriously.

If they wanted to make money with that solution, they still needed to solve a lot of problems.

The first problem is that few of his solution was left, only a bit more than 10 kg. It was definitely impossible to enter the market using it.

Zhang Tie then directly took that terrine of solution out of his bed room and put it on the desk in front of them.

"Junior brother, your stuff is so small now?" A senior sister uttered.

She didn't feel anything wrong when she said this; however, after saying it, she found the faces of all the guys in the room turned weird at once. Their face all blushed. Then, she realized the ambiguity in his words. Her face blushed soon, too.

"This thing...has become so little!" Zhang Tie said with a slightly embarrassed expression.

"Alas..." Yang Yuankang coughed twice as he recovered composure, "Junior brother Zhang Tie, how long will it take you to make such medicament?"

"At least 2 months!"

"Can you be faster?"

"I can catalyze a batch of them rapidly, it will take me 2 weeks!"

It was just Zhang Tie's excuse for catalyzing them. Actually, Zhang Tie prepared to move some of the fermented solution out of the Castle of Black Iron. As long as he made preparations, he would not arise their doubts.

Hearing Zhang Tie's words, Yang Yuankang and the others all looked very thrilled.

"That's too incredible. If we restrict the sales volume of the rest medicament, we can last 2 weeks with them. We can make it popular first. After this is sold out, new batches will be ready!"

Zhang Tie nodded, "I also mean for it to be like that. If you put the rest into standard vials, you can still make over 100 vials of it. In the next 2 weeks, you can sell it as a trial and check the response of the market. If there's any problems, we can find them in time; if it works well, it could work like hunger marketing!"

Hearing that, everybody nodded.

They then negotiated about the cooperation details before separating.

After seeing them off to the ground floor of the Songtao Pavilion, Zhang Tie returned to his own room. Staring at that terrine, Zhang Tie still couldn't believe the solution inside could have that marvelous effect.

As he had sold rice brew with yeast for over 10 years at home, will he sell yeast again?

Zhang Tie felt the marvel of destiny. Meanwhile, he also became thrilled as he seemed to see numerous gold coins flying towards him..

Chapter 309: The First Transaction

Translator: WQL Editor: EbonyFrost

Since that they had decided to do it, they would do it well.

As they were all young men and full of passion, after making up their minds, they all started to move enthusiastically.

Early the next morning, Yang Yuankang had already arrived at the Songtao Pavilion in the appointed place.

He brought two crates of new crystal vials into Zhang Tie's room. Yang Yuankang and Zhang Tie then filled all the solution from the terrine into the vials. They got 138 vials of medicament in total.

"These vials of medicament have no symbols. In the future, we should customize all the vials of medicament!" Yang Yuankang said.

"Where will we customize them?"

"It's available in the Breaking-Heavens Department. The students who cultivate to be alchemists would customize their personal vials for medicaments after being able to produce them. There are private symbols on their vials. You can call them trademarks. All the private symbols on the vials are trademarks. They are registered in the Alchemists Association and are the only private image-text symbols being protected by the Alchemists Association!"

"I'm not an alchemist. How could I register my private symbol on the vials?" Zhang Tie asked out of curiosity.

"You can. All the vials with medicament inside could be registered for exclusively private symbol in the Alchemists Association!" Taking a empty crystal vial of medicament, Yang Yuankang pointed at some special designs on it, "This crystal vial includes several unique patents from aspects like ingredients and craftsmanship. These patents are exclusively enjoyed by the Alchemists Association. The Alchemists Association monopolizes the production of all the vials and the right to register and authenticate the symbols on the vials!"

Zhang Tie nodded. He thought if this batch of solution could really sell well, as long as he could produce it on a large scale, he would definitely customize his own vials.

After filling the solution inside the vials, Yang Yuankang took away 120 vials. Zhang Tie asked to keep the rest 18 vials. For the 120 vials, Zhang Tie sold them at the price of 4 gold coins for each.

Zhang Tie decided to set the price of each vial at 5 gold coins, which was 10% lower than the common LV 1 antidote on the market, leaving 20% of gross profit to Yang Yuankang and the other guys.

Because medicament were usually very expensive. Most of stores and sales terminals would variate from 5% to 8%. As the first dealer of Zhang Tie, Yang Yuankang could enjoy 20% of the gross profit. This was really too profitable.

As the condition for the cooperation between both parties, if they could sell these products successfully, in the future, regardless of the rising sales price of the terminals, Zhang Tie always provide them at least 10000 vials of medicament at the price of lower than 4 gold coins a vial so as to ensure their investment benefits as the first ones who dared to eat crabs.

After taking the 120 vials of medicament, Yang Yuankang became so excited that after bidding a farewell with ZhangTie, he hurriedly left.

Staying in his room, Zhang Tie smirked as he counted the 480 gold coins paid by Yang Yuankang for many times. He was filled with pleasure. This was Zhang Tie's first time making money with his real talent and ability. Previously, although Zhang Tie had manipulated more money than this, he actually didn't make it with his own ability.

When the Gregory family compensated 5000 gold coins for him, they were actually paying for the life of a second lieutenant of the Iron-Blood Camp of Norman Empire.

When in Blapei, although he took the position as an officer in the logistics department and could gain a lot of gold coins per week, that was due to the concern about him from the big figures of the Iron-Horn Army.

Even though that rune ring was still picked up from the battlefield, it was due to good luck.

However, today, with his own ability, he made 480 gold coins. Holding the heavy gold coins which weighed over 10 kg, Zhang Tie felt very satisfied.

After Yang Yuankang left, Zhang Tie also left Songtao Pavilion with some money.

...

Seeing Zhang Tie falling off the 4 m high quincuncial piles once again, although standing on the ground steadily, Gu Caidie who was responsible for guiding Zhang Tie frowned her forehead with a serious expression at once.

"Junior brother Zhang Tie, you seem not concentrated today! As you've made progress very fast during this period, you shouldn't slack off!"

"Yes, senior sister Gu!" Feeling embarrassed, Zhang Tie scratched his head as he slightly jumped up from the ground and stood back onto the piles. After practicing it for several days, although Zhang Tie could still not defeat those girls, his movements had become increasingly more flexible. He could stand longer and longer on the piles now. Even when falling off the piles, Zhang Tie could still stand on the ground safe and sound, instead of being that awkward at the beginning.

Today, because Zhang Tie was thinking about making money, he became a bit mind-absent on the piles.

"Although you have great strength on your feet, it was not enough, as you have to feel being both a nail and a spring on the piles, in each second, you should be at the equilibrium point between the nail and the spring. Only when you could fix and move your foot in a split second could you pass the test!"

Zhang Tie nodded.

After concentrating, Zhang Tie performed much better. Two hours passed very soon.

The moment it was finished, after bidding a farewell with Gu Caidie, Zhang Tie had hurriedly left the training field.

Seeing that Zhang Tie was that anxious, Gu Caidie could only reveal a smile as she shook her head.

Even though afterTwo hours' training, when Zhang Tie left the training field for fundamental movements, it was still 9 am..

After leaving the training field, Zhang Tie directly came to the hall of the Middle Castle and queued up before the counter where he handed in money at the beginning.

After the front ones handed in the monthly payment, it was finally Zhang Tie's turn.

Behind that counter was still those senior scholars who were wearing oversleeves.

"I want to rent a warehouse!" Zhang Tie directly gave his clan plate to a senior scholar.

Taking Zhang Tie's clan plate, the old man inserted it into the slot of the machine. After pulling down a drawbar, he looked at the data on the machine before nodding. "You have good credit. You can rent some facilities of Hidden Dragon Palace. What sort of warehouse do you want?"

"The area of the warehouse should be above 200 sq meters. It should have good access to water, wind and items. Additionally, the warehouse should be safe. Besides me, nobody else can enter!"

"The only one that meets your requirements should be the workshop for herbal medicine apprentices in the Hidden Dragon Palace. Each herbal medicine apprentice is equipped with a herbal medicine warehouse which covers 210 sq meters. The warehouse is access to to wind, water. Besides, its illumination and temperature are adjustable!"

"The workshop of herbal medicine apprentices? It doesn't sound too bad." Zhang Tie thought inwardly.

"What about the rate?"

"The rent for each workshop is 15 gold coins a month! You should pay off one year's rent before being able to use it."

This price was still too high for purely renting a room; however, as it was in the Hidden Dragon Palace, it was still acceptable for Zhang Tie.

"Well, I want to rent a workshop then!" Saying this, Zhang Tie pulled out his purse and counted out 180 gold coins, which were a part of that paid by Yang Yuankang and the other guys. After the payment, only 300 gold coins left.

"Your workshop is in the Poria Cocos Park in Herb Valley." The old man returned the clan plate to Zhang Tie as he give him a metal plate marked with "Poria Cocos". "This plate is the only secret key to open the Poria Cocos Park. Take it and register in the Administration Center of the Herbs Valley, where someone will guide you to the Poria Cocos Park!"

After taking a serious look at the metal plate marked with "Poria Cocos", Zhang Tie found it was a bit similar to his clan plate as on the back of each plate was graved with some secret metal grains.

Holding the secret key, Zhang Tie instantly rushed into Herb Valley.

Herb Valley was beside the Lower Castle. It was not far from the Secret Knowledge Pavilion and was only over 500 m away from the Zhixing Department. Herb Vallley was in the east while the Zhixing Department was in the west with a ridge between them. This was a more tranquil small valley, which was covered with many herbal fields. The moment Zhang Tie entered this region, he had smelt the fragrance of many kinds of herbal medicines.

Those independent small parks were scattering in this small valley. On the way, Zhang Tie saw many rooms were named "White Peony Park", "Licorice Park", "Angelica Park", "Red Peony Park" and "Ginseng Park", etc...

Zhang Tie entered the Administration Center of Herb Valley to register himself. After that, a staff member guided him into Poria Cocos Park.

There was a firm iron gate outside the Poria Cocos Park. After inserting the secret key into the slot on the iron gate, Zhang Tie twisted the handle on the iron gate to open it.

Poria Cocos Park covered more than 300 sq meters. It was divided into many small rooms, including a lab, lounge room and herbal medicine warehouse. There were some simple tools for processing herbal medicines.

Zhang Tie was concerned about the warehouse most. After circling around the warehouse, Zhang Tie found some wooden brackets in the warehouse which almost filled the whole warehouse. He then faintly frowned, "I don't need these things, can you have someone move them out of here?

"These items are used to dry and store various herbal medicines. Each herbal medicine apprentice would use them!" The staff explained as he thought Zhang Tie didn't know their purpose.

"I won't use them!"

"Aren't you a herbal medicine apprentice?" The staff asked out of curiosity.

"Who told you I was a herbal medicine apprentice?" Zhang Tie asked.

"But what do you rent it for..."

"I have money, I want to pickle vegetables here!" Zhang Tie smirked..

Chapter 310: Preparations

Translator: WQL Editor: EbonyFrost

It took him an hour to clean up the warehouse of the Poria Cocos Park. After that, Zhang Tie shut its gate and instantly went to White Dragon Town.

Now that he wanted to make that solution, he had to prepare the necessary tools and raw materials.

The tools were terrines that were used for fermenting while the raw materials were various fruits and sugars.

The White Dragon Town was very populated. Zhang Tie soon found the pottery store where he bought that terrine last time.

The pottery store sold various earthenwares, which were the most common items in regular families. They were not delicate, but very simple and durable. Compared to porcelains, these earthenwares were much cheaper.

After looking around, Zhang Tie found the items in the store were smaller than those he needed. He then asked the salesman.

"Buddy, do you have some bigger terrines?" Zhang Tie made a gesture with his hands. As he wanted to produce that solution on a large scale, the terrines should also be big enough, each of which should be able to contain over 100 kg of solution; however, the terrines in the store were all smaller. The largest one could only hold 40-50 kg.

"Larger ones are in the warehouse!"

"Can you show me there?"

The salesman then glanced over Zhang Tie with a dubious expression. Zhang Tie looked very young and didn't look like making business to survive himself. Given Zhang Tie's figure, he didn't look like an islander who always visited this store, the salesman became a bit curious.

Whereas, now that Zhang Tie wanted to visit there, the salesman could only take him there. As there were two salesmen in the store, after telling the other guy that he was leaving for the warehouse with Zhang Tie, that man then guided Zhang Tie there.

There were more earthenwares in the warehouse, which were piled up in several layers. After following him into the warehouse, Zhang Tie saw a 1 m high terrine. "That's it!"

After checking the patterns and workmanship, Zhang Tie nodded.

"Buddy, how much is this terrine!"

"9 silver coins each!"

After calculating it inside for a second, Zhang Tie instantly got the answer, the whole warehouse could hold 90-100 terrines like this.

"I want 80 terrines of this kind!" Zhang Tie pointed at that terrine as he said. Although his warehouse could hold more such kind of terrines, he had to leave some space for people to move inside. Therefore 80 terrines were proper.

"How many do you want?" The salesman thought that he had heard incorrectly.

"I want 80 terrines of this kind!" Zhang Tie repeated, "Can you deliver them to my door?"

Realizing that Zhang Tie was not kidding, the salesman became excited at once as he became instantly enthusiastic about Zhang Tie. After guiding Zhang Tie back to the store, the salesman hurriedly made a cup of water for Zhang Tie.

"As those terrines are of thin profits, if you want us to deliver them to your door, you need to add some transportation fee. As these items are not valuable, yet were cumbersome, we have to pay a lot to ask for help!"

"How about 9 gold coins in total?"

Hearing Zhang Tie's words, the salesman became so excited that he hurriedly nodded, "It's enough, it's enough..." As Hidden Dragon Palace was not far from the White Dragon Town, it would not cost much by transporting them there.

As his family was doing such small business before, Zhang Tie knew they were working hard. Therefore, Zhang Tie didn't bargain with him as he directly counted out 9 gold coins and gave them to him. The moment the salesman got the money, he became more enthusiastic.

"When do you need them, sir, I will have someone deliver them to you!"

"How about today?"

"No problem, but since few people would buy such huge terrines, we don't have that much in stock. We have to make them in the kiln!"

"How many days do you need?"

"We only need 2 days!"

"How many do you have now?"

"A bit more than 20!"

After thinking for a short while, Zhang Tie replied, "Okay, you can deliver those inventory to Hidden Dragon Palace first, I will go to buy something else. I will wait for you in Hidden Dragon Palace!"

"May I know your surname, sir?"

"I'm Zhang Tie. If I'm not there when your goods arrived, just wait for me over there for a while!"

"No problem!"

After making the deal, Zhang Tie left the pottery store.

Later, Zhang Tie bought a lot of items in White Dragon Town. Therefore, he returned to the Hidden Dragon Palace with 2 carriages behind him, which were used to load his items.

Among them, there were various fruits, over 100 kg of liquor, several hundred kilograms of honey, several hundred kilograms of brown sugar, more than 10 kitchen knives, 10 chopping boards, huge iron-sheet basins, etc..

When Zhang Tie returned to the Hidden Dragon Palace with the two carriages leisurely, those huge terrines also arrived.

Because outsiders were forbidden in, Zhang Tie had to carry these items into the Poria Cocos Park in Herb Valley one by one.

After moving all of them into the park, Zhang Tie was still busy as he had to clean up the over 20 huge terrines with water before sterilizing the inside of them with liquor.

It was a trifling affair. It took Zhang Tie the whole afternoon to clean up and sterilize those terrines.

Zhang Tie then directly went to the fish market in the wharf. After setting free fishes today, Zhang Tie came to the Zhixing Department. He firstly chated with Wei Wu and Zhang Liang and the other friends before asking a great number of girls who had just finished their supper to work for him.

Zhang Tie even paid each of them 1 gold coin for their assistance——of course, this should be deducted from the debt that they owed him. Considering it was a great compensation, all the girls accepted the task.

Zhang Tie then brought them to the Poria Cocos Park. At the sight of the fruits and terrines around the park, everybody became dumbfounded.

"So many items! What do you want us to do?" Du Yuhan showed the white of her eyes as she said in a tender voice.

After that affair when Zhang Tie saved Du Yuhan at the risk of his own life, the girls' impression about Zhang Tie had greatly changed. Many of them started to call him senior brother. Zhang Tie realized that his good personality was finally admitted.

Zhang Tie then cast a glance at Du Yuhan, whose attitude towards him had greatly changed. Previously, she was always furious with him; however, since last time when he saved her, her face always blushed in front of him. Additionally, she became more tender. At the moment, watching Du Yuhan's look, Zhang Tie suddenly felt his mummy jumped out of no reason.

"God bless me. I haven't touched girls in a long time." As a great number of girls were gazing at him, Zhang Tie dared not to lose face this time. Therefore, he put his right hand into a pocket of his trousers in a cool way and started his "Right hand covering method" stealthily. "Your job is very simple. Do you see these fruits? Your task today is to clean up 1/3 of those fruits. After that, you should shatter them into pieces and put them into the terrines!"

"That's it?" Du Yuhan winked her eyes as she asked in a dubious way.

"Of course, your senior brother is always kind and generous with great morals. Previously, you must have misunderstood me. You felt that I was mean. Actually, you can make money from your senior brother very easily. That's it! It's much easier than selling 100 packs of sea shell oil!" Zhang Tie winked his eyes towards Du Yuhan.

The girls then cast their whites of eyes to Zhang Tie at the same time. Seeing Zhang Tie have already prepared all the tools, they then started to work. This job was really very easy. Under Zhang Tie's guidance on one side, those girls then started to work seriously.

Having been busy since morning, Zhang Tie suddenly remembered that he had not eaten. His stomach started to coo. Therefore, Zhang Tie casually picked up a banana and started to eat.

"Senior brother, do you believe that each girl would know your Chinese Zodiac at the sight of you?" Said Qu Liangying, who was washing fruits rolled her eyes when she saw Zhang Tie eating a banana.

Zhang Tie became stunned as he soon engulfed that banana, "That's impossible, I don't believe! Tell me my Chinese Zodiac sign then."

"Sisters, tell him what our senior brother's Chinese Zodiac is?" Qu Liangying shouted loudly, "I count 1, 2, 3 and let's tell him in unison!" 

"Fine!"

"1...2...3...Sisters, tell him what is his Chinese Zodiac!"

"Monkey!" After shouting the answer out loudly in unison, the girls then exchanged glances with each other as they could stand to burst out laugh loudly at the same time.

Zhang Tie looked at his banana as he instantly realized that he was set up. He then burst into laughter too. At the beginning, Zhang Tie said all the girls' Chinese Zodiac was spinning top. He had not imagined that they finally asked for his compensation. Girls were really born to be narrow-minded.

"It's not bad. If I'm a monkey then I'm definitely the monkey king. I can have over 10 female monkeys and let so many female monkeys pick up fruits and wash fruits for me every day. If any female monkey performs well, I will feed her bananas..." Zhang Tie replied with a big smile.

"Pah..."

Soon after Zhang Tie said that more than ten fruits were thrown towards him from all directions. Zhang Tie rapidly collected them in the air and hugged them all.

"Look, the moment you heard that I would feed you bananas, you've already become so excited. Don't be that anxious for being specially favored by me!" Zhang Tie flirted with them all again. Seeing the girls who were shattering fruits pretending to throw kitchen knives towards him, Zhang Tie pretended to be scared and immediately escaped away.

After exchanging glances with each other, the girls then revealed smiles once again.

...

In less than 3 hours, the girls had cleaned and shattered all the fruits, put them into the terrines, added sugar, water and honey.

In the later 2 days, the girls worked 2 hours for Zhang Tie at each night after supper so as to deduct 1 gold coin's debt. In this way, they worked three days for Zhang Tie. After three days, all the 80 huge terrines were filled.

"Senior brother, what are you fermenting so many enzymes for?" Not until the third day after they finished work did Li Yurou asked Zhang Tie out of curiosity.

"Enzymes? You mean I'm fermenting enzymes?" Being faintly shocked, Zhang Tie stared at Li Yurou as he had heard this word for the first time.

"Yes, I always fermented enzyme at home when I was young. I remember that my grandma told me that if one eats enzymes, one would not have health problems! It's easy to make enzyme; however, this item isn't worth much money."

"Hoho, it's a secret. You will know about it in the future." Zhang Tie said in a mysterious way.

"Humph, narrow-minded!" Li Yurou then pouted her peach-like mouth.

"As you've helped your senior brother for three days, your senior brother will send each of you a small gift!" Zhang Tie then took out those vials that had been filled with that special solution.

"What's this?" The girls took his "gift" as they started to look it around.

"This thing is as effective as a level 1 antidote. Additionally, it could replenish your energy. Take it and go play!"

"Argh!" The girls exclaimed. Even with the effect that it equaled to that of a level 1 antidote, this thing would worth no less than 5 gold coins. They had not imagined that Zhang Tie could be that generous.

"Well, well, don't be that moved with watery eyes. If you really want to thank me, you can marry me. If we are a family, your senior brother would even clear off your debts!" Zhang Tie made a grimace.

After showing the whites of their eyes, the girls then left.

Because it was too late, Zhang Tie didn't come back to the Poria Cocos Park until he sent the girls into the Zhixing Department. After that, Zhang Tie closed the gate of the Poria Cocos Park before going to the warehouse again. Facing the 80 huge terrines, Zhang Tie was filled with a sense of achievement.

Later, Zhang Tie took some essential-energy reiki yeast out of Castle of Black Iron and added them into the terrines. The moment he added the essential-energy reiki yeast into the terrines, the items in the terrines had become different from that before. With the exception of Zhang Tie, nobody knew that the items in the terrines had become different.

After doing all this, Zhang Tie took two huge terrines of well-fermented special solution out of the lab in Castle of Black Iron and exchanged them with another two huge terrines in the warehouse which had just been fermented. By then, he finished all the preparations.

The 80 huge terrines of solution in the warehouse weighed almost 12 tons in total. If Yang Yuankang's sales could stimulate its demand, 2 months later, the value of the 12 tons of special solution would at least equal to that of 12 tons of LV 1 antidote.

It could definitely shock a great number of people if he told it to others. How come such precious detoxification solution could be counted by tons!

"Perhaps I should go to the library of Breaking-Heavens Department to look up the books about enzyme. I want to figure out the reason why such mysterious solution is so marvelous!" Zhang Tie mumbled.

Feeling very nice, Zhang Tie then left the Poria Cocos Park. On the way back to his residence, Zhang Tie encountered a woman in Herb Valley who had love affairs with him for the rest of his life...

Chapter 311: Audacious

Translator: WQL Editor: Millman97

It was a good nightscape with bright moons and sparse stars[1], the moonlight was as tender as flowing water. Walking through Herb Valley, Zhang Tie smelt the refreshing air as he thought about his future life of counting gold coins every day. A wisp of smirk appeared at the corners of his mouth.

Walking in the moonlight, Zhang Tie heard a mournful flute melody. The melody was otherworldly. Although Zhang Tie didn't know much about music, he felt pure and free listening to it. Zhang Tie then slowed down his footsteps and walked in the direction of the flute melody's source.

Zhang Tie walked along a stream in the valley. He passed through an herbal medicine park and took a detour through a bamboo wood before he caught sight of a scene that he would never forget for the rest of his life.

A girl in a red skirt was sitting on a huge, cyan stone under the purely white moonlight. She was elegantly playing a dark green jade flute.

Sitting on the cyan stone, the girl revealed her elegant figure. With snow-white skin and cascading, black hair, she looked like a fairy from a painting. With a pair of snow-white feet, she was playing with the water at the same time.

By then, although Zhang Tie was not acquainted with many girls, he had met a lot of girls; however, the moment he saw this girl, Zhang Tie felt like being tamped by a hammer as his brain droned and sparkled. In Zhang Tie's eyes, that girl was perfect all over. She was filled with allure as if her entire body was emitting sparkles.

The snow-white skin, the delicate fine waist, the elegant gourd-shaped curve of her butt that was sitting on the cyan stone, a pair of beautiful feet, and a pair of slim, charming legs...

After playing a song, the girl heard a weird sound from aside. She then looked toward there and found a 16-17 old juvenile who was forcefully swallowed his saliva.

Zhang Tie was as hilarious as an idiot who was stretching his neck so long. At the sight of him, the girl couldn't stand to titter. After that, she found Zhang Tie was fixing his eyes onto her delicate feet. Her face instantly blushed as she hurriedly hid her feet into her skirt.

"Hey, brat, have you seen enough?"

Zhang Tie then looked up and realized that the girl was talking to him. He instantly recovered his composure.

"Not yet!" Zhang Tie shook his head as he replied very seriously.

The girl had not imagined that he would be so audacious. Commoners, when being asked in this way, would have long escaped. It was really out of her expectation that Zhang Tie could be that audacious and didn't fear about her at all.

The girl then blinked her eyes as she felt a bit curious about Zhang Tie, "Don't you know who I am?"

"I'm going to ask for your name, my senior sister."

This girl was 20-21 years old, who was a few years elder than Zhang Tie; therefore, it was proper for Zhang Tie to call her senior sister.

"You want to know my name? What's your name then?" That girl fixed her eyes onto Zhang Tie seriously as she seemed to be wanting to find a trace of deceit from Zhang Tie's face.

'Is this juvenile new here in the Hidden Dragon Palace? He doesn't even know who I am; otherwise, he would've known my status, yet he's just disguising and wanting to get close with me.' The girl considered it inside as she had encountered so many men like him these years.

"I'm Zhang Tie. I'm 16 years old. Single!" Zhang Tie smirked as he started to try his best to introduce himself.

Zhang Tie had learned from those girls of Rose Association that girls actually didn't like those gentlemen; unless that man was very handsome, had great power, or literary talent. Men who could not meet any of the former three conditions should not pretend to be cool in front of girls. If not, the outcome could only be that the girl he beloved would sleep with other bad boys.

Saying that, Zhang Tie walked towards that girl.

Hearing Zhang Tie's introduction, the girl couldn't stand to giggle; after watching Zhang Tie's look, the girl was finally sure that Zhang Tie might truly not know his real status.

"Are you new here?"

"How come?" Zhang Tie shouted loudly liking being heavily wronged, "I've been here since last year. I was even rated as one of the top excellent youths in Hidden Dragon Palace!"

"Top excellent youths in Hidden Dragon Palace?" Hearing this, the girl became slightly stunned as she started to frown her forehead and uttered in a tender voice, "Weird, I've not heard about that!"

"Of course you don't know about that. Because I rate it myself. I've not even rated the other 9 yet!"

At this moment, Zhang Tie had already gotten quite close to her, when the girl realized that Zhang Tie was fabricating lies. She then felt both angry and tittering as she fiercely glared at Zhang Tie; however, she suddenly felt something new inside. She had not seen a man like Zhang Tie who was so audacious in front of her.

"I've told you my name, it's your turn." Walking close to her, Zhang Tie asked directly.

"Aren't you one of the top excellent youths in Hidden Dragon Palace? How come you don't know even an average person like me?" That girl rolled her eyes as she said smartly.

"Of course I know your name!" Zhang Tie hid his smirk as he looked at this girl seriously.

'Was he disguising all the way? He truly knows who I am?' A though flashed across the girl's mind once again.

"You know who I am?"

"Of course! You're Rumeng[2], right? You walk out of my dream. The moment I saw you, I felt like going back to my dream again..." Zhang Tie's eyes instantly became that audacious. That girl had not seen such a man who dared to bare his heart to her in only a few minutes after seeing her. Additionally, Zhang Tie was a few years younger than her.

The girl had really not heard such hot words since she was born.

Hearing Zhang Tie's words, the girl's eyes widened as she instantly felt goosebumps all over.

The girl became slightly flurried as she felt Zhang Tie glancing over her body with hot eyes. Those men who knew her real status never dared to be so audacious in front of her.

At this moment, the girl had already known that Zhang Tie didn't know her real status.

"Argh, don't come here..." The girl hurriedly hid behind the cyan stone.

"I will not go there..." Zhang Tie continued as he walked 2 steps closer to that girl, "Watch out, don't fall off!"

Seeing the girl going to fall off, Zhang Tie hurriedly stretched out his hands to hold her fast. The girl planned to give him a lesson by smacking his face; however, at the sight of Zhang Tie's sincere look, the girl suddenly gave up her plan.

Therefore, before Zhang Tie's hands touched her, the girl had gritted her teeth and flew from the cyan stone like a red cloud. She instantly landed steadily on the bamboo of 7-8 m high beside the stream.

Standing on the slightly swaying bamboo, the girl was like a fairy on the waves.

"Rumeng, you've not told me your name? Watch out the bamboo leaves, they might hurt your feet..." Zhang Tie shouted loudly.

As it was the first time for her to be pursued by a man so audaciously, the girl's face suddenly blushed as her heart raced. She became completely confused about how to face him. Finally, she directly sprung from the bamboo and swiftly flew away on the bamboo leaves, with swaying, loose sleeves, in a blink of eye.

Gazing at the girl like an idiot, Zhang Tie felt like he'd be extremely frustrated in a second...

Not until the fresh, red color disappeared into the distance under the moonlight did Zhang Tie feel frustrated as he rubbed his face, 'You couldn't stand only this much? I've not done anything wrong? My mom told me that Chinese girls were all reserved. Was I not reserved just now? But what is 'reserved', I really don't know about that!'

He remained stunned for quite a while, then the moment he wanted to leave, he suddenly noticed something beside that cyan stone near the stream. Zhang Tie's eyes then lit up.

There was a pair of delicate embroidered shoes on one side of the cyan stone.

...

Over 10 minutes later, the fairy like a red cloud returned. Falling onto the cyan stone from the twigs, the girl looked around and didn't see her embroidered shoes. The moment she thought about Zhang Tie's face, she became both bashful and furious as she stamped onto the stone and swore in a low voice, "Rascal..."

The moment she wanted to leave, another man had jumped swiftly towards her.

The man in white clothes soon landed before her. This man was handsome with sword-like eyebrows and sparkling eyes.

"Senior sister Xi, I saw someone in red clothes jumping over the twigs just now and thought that might be you. It truly was you!"

"What's up?" Seeing him, the girl stealthily hid her bare feet into her skirt. At the same time, she recovered her composure like before. Feeling majestic with her calm expression, after a single glance at her, the man became scared and didn't dare to even look at her.

"I heard senior sister had just come back from the open waters after completing the task. I've not imagined that you'd also heard about the secret medicament. You must be here in Herb Valley to see who produces the new medicament!" The man revealed a big smile.

"New medicament..." The girl mumbled as she suddenly frowned her slim eyes and stressed, "You mean someone has produced the new medicament in Herb Valley?"

An alchemist who could develop a wholly new medicament was like a rune manufacturer who had discovered a new rune. This creative achievement was definitely an outstanding event.

"Right, a couple of days ago, someone in the Qinyun Palace said there was a new LV 1 antidote which could not only detoxify venom, but also reinforce one's vitality and energy. It has exceptional effects. At the beginning, many people didn't believe that; however, someone who tried it recently found it was true!"

"Is that from Master Pure Cloud?" The girl asked.

"Shouldn't be that. Because there's no symbol of Master Pure Cloud on the vials. They use vials with no symbol!"

"Do you have any of the medicament? Show me!" The girl directly asked.

"Coincidentally, I bought a vial in Qinyun Palace today!" The man smiled as he took out a vial. The moment he wanted to give it to her, the girl had already made it fly into her hand through the air over a distance of several meters. At the sight of this scene, the man remembered her reputation of being blunt and her impressive power as he was instantly shocked and hurriedly stopped his footsteps.

"How much? I want this vial?" Looking it over for 2 seconds, the girl then said straightforwardly. She didn't even ask whether he would refuse or not.

"Senior sister Xi, no kidding, it's just a few gold coins. If you want to pay me, you must be looking down upon me!"

"What's Master Pure Cloud's test result on this medicament?"

"I heard Master Pure Cloud had just got such a vial of medicament today too. He's testing it. We're all waiting for the result. If that person who produces this medicament could gain the favor of master Pure Cloud, he would become famous in a second!"

"Hmm, I will have a look in Master Pure Cloud's lab!" After saying this, the girl suddenly disappeared. When she reappeared, it was already 10 more meters away. She moved so fast that in a blink of eye, she had already been 100 meters away, more than 10 times faster than when she was "scared away" by Zhang Tie.

Standing still, after seeing off that girl, the man let out a sigh as he shook his head and jumped away too.

It was each man's fortune and misfortune to stay together with such a girl in the Breaking-Heavens Department!
