Chapter 312: Medicament Test

Translator: WQL Editor: Millman97

After only 10 minutes, that girl - in a pair of new shoes - appeared in front of the Heavens-Dependence Pavilion of Master Pure Cloud in the Breaking-Heavens Department.

Master Pure Cloud was the chief alchemist in Hidden Dragon Palace. As a golden-robe alchemist who enjoyed a high reputation in the entire Waii Sub-Continent, he was LV 9 in the world of alchemists. Besides that, he was also an officer of Zhang clan's Huaiyuan Palace. As a LV 9 alchemist, he was definitely a master.

Heavens-Dependence Pavilion was where Master Pure Cloud lived in the Breaking-Heavens Department and where he taught his apprentices and produced medicaments. As an important place in Breaking-Heavens Department, it was protected by three tiers of guardians. With the exception of the students of Master Pure Cloud and those who were allowed in, common students of Breaking-Heavens Department were forbidden entry.

That girl directly entered without encountering any obstacle. Everybody greeted her respectfully, including the guardians. The girl then slightly nodded towards them with extreme majesty.

She directly entered the lab of Master Pure Cloud.

"Argh, Senior Sister Xi, you've returned!" It was the workshop of Master Pure Cloud's apprentices and assistants outside the lab. At the sight of the girl, all of them hurriedly greeted her.

"Is master inside?"

"Master is testing the new medicament inside!"

"I'll take a look inside!" After saying this, the girl walked in the lab directly with gentle footsteps.

An old man with snow-white hair and beard in a brilliant golden robe was standing in front of a great pile of sophisticated instruments and vials. Raising his head toward the sky, he was gazing at the ceiling while mumbling.

"It's not right. Although it could detoxify venom, I don't find any element of medicine inside. Am I using the wrong testing method? It's impossible. Even though I couldn't detect it through testing, I could at least detect it through taste; unless no medicine is used in this medicament at all. But how could a medicament that contains no medicine detoxify venom and recover one's vitality and energy, which are the features of compound medicament, it could only be..." The old man shook his head, "It shouldn't be that! That thing's effect is progressive, it could never be that strong..."

With changing looks, he seemed to be a bit confused about it all.

"Master..." The girl became a bit respectful in front of Master Pure Cloud.

"Ah, Yunxi..." Turning his head, the master revealed a smile at the sight of the girl in the red skirt, "When did you come back?"

"I've just come back today. I heard that master was testing a new medicament. So, I came here for a look!" Saying that, the girl looked over at the instruments on the test-bed before smelling the familiar scents of the testing reagents, "Master, have you got the testing result?"

"The last test!"

While talking with her, Master Pure Cloud had gradually organized his thoughts. Golden-robed alchemists were extremely confident about their own professional knowledge. Instead of doubting his professional knowledge, he preferred to trust that others might create miracles.

However, it required a last short test.

Master Pure Cloud was also extremely straightforward. Once he made the decision, he instantly started to do that. He then directly took a silver knife from the test-bed and cut a small wound on his own hand in the red-skirt girl's shocking eyes.

"Argh, master..."

"It's okay, Yunxi, just a small wound. In order to verify whether that medicament is really what I want, this is a necessary step! If I did this on others' hands, they might not be as sensitive about the medicament as me. You know, for a medicament, this wound is nothing serious at all, just like being stung by a mosquito..."

The old man raised his hand to stop the girl who was walking towards him as he revealed a smile and rapidly opened a vial of medicament made by Zhang Tie. He slightly poured a bit of medicament out and daubed it onto the wound. Being really strange, the moment he daubed it onto the wound, he had stopped bleeding while a refreshing feeling started to spread across his hand.

The old man then kept his eyes closed as his snow-white eyebrows were slightly moving. After that, he opened his eyes and started to manipulate the equipment on the test-bed. In a short while, the old man had fabricated a wholly new vial of green medicament and directly engulfed it.

The red-skirt girl just looked aside. Of course, she knew that the medicament made by Master Pure Cloud was a simplified advanced recovery medicament using Zhang Tie's medicament as the ingredients. Usually, although it could rapidly cure his wound, it could not reach the perfect recovery effect of true advanced recovery medicament that would leave no scar on his body at all.

However, after drinking it, the small wound started to recover in a visible speed. In less than half a minute, the wound had already completely recovered. Master Pure Cloud then rubbed on the place where the wound lay and tore off a thin layer of medicament left by Zhang Tie's medicament. What really shocked him was that no scar was left over there.

A perfect recovery!

The girl called Yunxi just watched aside. When she saw no scar was left on master's hand, she was also somewhat shocked. Based on her knowledge about medicaments, of course she knew what this meant. That medicament had the effect of perfect recovery. How come?

Looking at the place where the wound lay, Master Pure Cloud revealed a strange expression, which looked like feeling relieved, being dubious and being very shocked.

"I've not imagined it could be that thing..." Master Pure Cloud faintly signed as he mumbled, "Created things are always unrivaled; great laws are always the simplest!". After saying that, he carefully took that vial of Zhang Tie's medicament.

The girl called Yunxi found that although Master Pure Cloud's voice was calm, his hand was faintly shaking, which, for a golden-robed alchemist was almost impossible.

When making various medicinal powders and medicament, an alchemists' hands were required to be precise and stable. Their hands and instruments were not allowed to shake. Actually, even a common suspending-kettle alchemist would not shake their hands when in operation; how could it be seen on a golden-robed alchemist.

'If not because of a great shock inside, Master Pure Cloud would never shake his hand.'

"Master..." Yunxi called him, a bit worried.

"I'm okay..." Master Pure Cloud revealed a smile as he took a deep breath and looked at her, "From today on, an excellent figure will appear in the Hidden Dragon Palace. You won't feel lonely from then on!"

"Master, even though it's a compound medicament with mixed effects, the producer might not be qualified to be praised in that way!" The girl didn't agree.

"Yunxi, you don't understand. This medicament is not a compound medicament. Precisely, it was an all-purpose medicament, which numerous alchemists are dreaming for!" Master Pure Cloud said seriously.

"Argh!" Hearing the phrase all-purpose medicament, the girl called Yunxi was extremely shocked as she remembered a presumption of all-purpose medicament and super enzyme that had been spread in the world of alchemists for a long time. In order to verify this presumption, numerous alchemists had been working for it; yet nobody could make any breakthroughs on it.

The moment she thought about that presumption which was crowned with the most brilliant pearl in the world of alchemists, the girl called Yunxi also became thrilled; however, she still didn't believe it, "Master, you mean...someone in Hidden Dragon Palace has verified that presumption..."

"The truth lies in front of you. In this marvelous world, although I could not make it, it doesn't mean that others could not make it!" Master Pure Cloud gradually recovered his composure, "Now that we know what is this medicament, the following process would be simple. We only need to complete a few more tests! You must have remembered the Felinan grouping contrast test for testing the effect and components of this medicament."

"I remember it!"

"Well, go call in those people in the outside. Let's work it together, hurry up!"

"Nice!"

Not much later, all the apprentices and assistants of Master Pure Cloud were called in. After knowing that they were going to make the Felinan grouping contrast test, all of them were shocked; however, at the same time, they became also very thrilled. Had someone really developed the super enzyme? Did the all-purpose medicament really appear in the Breaking-Heavens Department?

Fact was better than eloquence. As the Felinan grouping contrast test proceeded, contrast data and effects gradually came out after repetitive confirmations.

—Its detoxification effect was equal to that of LV 1 antidote. It worked on the venom of all the living beings below 7. Because of the obvious physical absorbing effect, its detoxifying time was 18% faster than common LV 1 antidote. It had no side effect at all!

—Its effect on recovering physical wounds equaled to 67% of that of common preliminary recovery medicament. It could be either taken orally or dabbed on the wounds without any side effect!

—Compared to common preliminary energy medicament, its effect equaled to 52% of that of the preliminary energy medicament. It could effectively relieve fatigue and provide the energy required by human bodies. According to preliminary estimations, 2 vials of such medicament could provide the physical energy required by a common fighter without any side effect!

—After drinking it, commoners' visceral functions and immune system could be activated completely. Their blood could be purified. Additionally, the oxygen content in their red blood cells obviously raised; the devouring ability of their white blood cells reinforced; their intestines crept faster. What was more, their physical metabolic system could exclude foreign bodies much faster...without any side effect!

—Pathological experiment...without any side effect!

...

It really was an all-purpose medicament and a super enzyme. Seeing the test results one by another, everybody was shocked. Although this medicament could not provide any additional abilities to people like that of night-viewing medicament or strength reinforcing medicament, it could clear off or relieve all the abnormal or unhealthy conditions of the human body, adjusting one's body to the healthiest, purest and most vital condition...

Someone in Breaking-Heavens Department really had realized that famous presumption in the world of alchemist by producing the all-purpose medicament!

Drifting from the Heavens-Dependence Pavilion of Master Pure Cloud, the news suddenly aroused a great shock among all the alchemists in the Breaking-Heavens Department!

Who, who made that medicament?

Hearing the news, everybody started to guess who made this all-purpose medicament. Immediately, Yang Yuankang and the other guys who sold the medicament aroused the attention of them...

Chapter 313: Being Strong-willed

Translator: WQL Editor: Millman97

Early the next morning, when Zhang Tie first woke up, he had forgotten about the look of that girl whom he encountered in the Herb Valley last night.

What he could only remember was her red skirt, her flute, and her fairy-like figure that flew away above the shadows of the trees.

He didn't mean to forget that, but because he kept thinking about her since he came back last night. He kept thinking about her hair, eyebrows, eyes, nose, lips, and the other details of her. As a result, Zhang Tie abruptly felt panic as he could not remember her look any more.

She became a shadow, a symbol and a frame that was deeply impressed in his mind.

By then, Zhang Tie found that memory was like an eraser. When he thought too much about one person. The person's look would be unclear. Each time you tried to think about her, it would be like using an eraser to wipe off the words on the paper. The words on the piece of paper were clear; however, if you often tried to wipe them, they would gradually be unclear. Finally, the piece of paper would be broken, leaving empty holes in his memory.

Over one night, Zhang Tie had broken the piece of paper. When he woke up in the morning, he found 1 more empty hole in his heart.

Last night was like 1 year for Zhang Tie. He had never experienced this before.

'What if I never see her again? What if I can't remember her face in the future?' Zhang Tie became flurried out of no reason.

After getting up, Zhang Tie finished cleaning up before noticed that pair of beautiful embroidered shoes on the desk beside his bed.

The shoes were both delicate and clean. Holding them, he even faintly smelt the fragrance and the rouge of her body.

Of course, Zhang Tie would not do anything perverted with her shoes. After taking the shoes back last night, Zhang Tie saw some dirt on the soles and the sides of the shoes; therefore, he fetched a brush to clean them off. After that, he wrapped them with cotton paper and dried them on the desk.

At this moment, he took the shoes, opened the cotton paper and found they were already dried; therefore, Zhang Tie fetched a piece of clean, soft cloth and placed the pair of embroidered shoes inside his coat before left.

Zhang Tie lived very regularly in the Breaking-Heavens Department. He used to get up early in the morning and read books for 1 hour before going to eat breakfast. After that, he would head for the training gyms to practice his fighting skills.

During this period, Zhang Tie had made rapid progress in the shield defense skill. He was able to pass the test. He was considering learning the flying skill after finishing this course, 'after adopting the flying skill, if he met the situation like that last night, he might choose to chase after his wife in the moonlight. That might also be very funny, ha...ha...'

At this moment, Zhang Tie didn't know that his solution had shocked the entire Breaking-Heavens Department over last night.

He kept practicing fundamental footsteps in the entire morning. In the afternoon, when he thought of the "enzymes" mentioned by Li Yurou, Zhang Tie came for the library of Breaking-Heavens Department. He wanted to look up something about enzyme in the library.

This time, he was really shocked as Zhang Tie had never imagined that that thing he produced was really an enzyme.

The books in the library of Breaking-Heavens Department were inclusive. Most of them originated from the knowledge left by human beings before the catastrophe. After connecting the knowledge about enzyme, Zhang Tie had a general understanding about the effect of enzyme and finally understood why his solution was so marvelous.

Chinese people first discovered the great effect of enzymes on physical health. As early as over 2000 years ago before the catastrophe, healthcare and disease treatment had already been popularized among Chinese people.

In the traditional Chinese medical science, vinegar - which was reputed as the "head of medicines" - had long played a role in curing diseases and healthcare. Vinegar was also an enzyme fermented by provisions. It was the enzyme in vinegar that made vinegar the "head of medicines".

The reason that enzyme had such an effect was that it was the most fundamental and important energy and material that sustained all important vital activities and health of human cells. Describing enzymes' roles in the functioning of a human body, a biologist before the catastrophe had made a very important metaphor.

He described it as "If human body was bulb, enzyme is current!" Although he could not see bulbs now, it didn't affect Zhang Tie's understanding.

Another biologist who had won a top honor in biology made a more critical comment on the effect of enzymes, "Human beings are short lived because they lack enzyme".

Before the catastrophe, human beings had achieved many major discoveries by studying enzymes. They realized that many physical diseases of human beings were actually due to the shortage of enzymes. It might not be very effective to deal with these diseases; however, when the number of enzymes in the human body reached a level, these diseases would disappear naturally.

Before the catastrophe, many witches and doctors in remote regions even took fermented enzymes as the only method to deal with diseases and keep healthy.

Because the library in Breaking-Heavens Department was managed by a difference engine, Zhang Tie could easily search for a lot of books through key words and indexes.

In the book 'Guerrilla Battlefield Doctor', the only medicine that battlefield doctor, who was responsible for curing various wounds and relieving various pains for guerrilla members, used was an enzyme fermented by raw gingers, apples, tangerines, and other wild fruits in drinking bottles.

Among the included data was a great amount of evidence that could verify that long-term use of enzymes could help postpone aging and increase life span.

In a local, Chinese biography, there was a funny story about "monkey's wine". The story went as follows: In the wild of Leizhou State, there were a lot of monkeys. It was said that those monkeys were raised by immortals. They could produce immortal wine using various fruits. One day, a woodman who climbed the mountain to chop some wood saved a monkey out of the mouth of a huge snake. After being saved, the monkey guided the woodman into a mountain cave.

After entering the mountain cave, the woodman found a stone groove. There were various fruits in the stone groove and a yellowish crystal liquid was flowing out of the stone groove, radiating an extremely appetizing fragrance. The woodman then took a sip. He felt it pretty refreshing and fragrant. His heartbeat calmed down and his mind seemed to be clearer. He then fell asleep very comfortably. When he opened his eyes, he felt cozy all over and very energetic. Therefore, he praised the fluid greatly.

Later on, the woodman would always take a small mouth of it whenever he was in the mountain. As a result, when he was over 100 years old, he still looked rosy and healthy. Finally, he died at 126, which became a legend.

The story of monkey's wine was just recorded in the book as a marvelous anecdote. The writer might not know the taste of monkey's wine; however, after reading this story, Zhang Tie instantly understood that the alleged monkey's wine was an enzyme drink naturally fermented by various wild fruits in the mountain.

The monkey's wine drunk by that woodman was almost exactly the same as that enzyme produced by Zhang Tie. Additionally, because mountains and rivers could gather reiki, the monkey's wine was more effective than common enzymes. It was regarded as an immortal wine that the fairy taught the monkeys to brew.

The moment he found the effect of enzyme, Zhang Tie couldn't wait to leave a huge vat of it to his parents so that they could drink it every day.

Before the catastrophe, many people already knew a lot about the marvelous effects of enzymes; however, at that moment, the largest tragedy of human beings is that they were misled by some groups to rely on chemical products and science. Many of them formed a false thought and believed in a great lie — In the fields food and medicine, the more scientific they were, the more that was chemically synthesized something was, the better it was for them, compared to if they used naturally produced food and medicine.

Because of this great lie, numerous people were eating various food and medicines which included poisonous chemicals as additives. Numerous people were taking chronic suicidality as normal.

However, after the catastrophe, alchemists understood the effects of enzymes the most, because of enzymes' positive effects on human health covered almost all aspects; however, compared to medicaments, common enzymes took effect slower and it would take a longer time for enzyme to take effect on the human body. It could not relieve many diseases or health problems in a short period of time; therefore, some alchemists made a mad presumption:

— One day, if someone could produce a super enzyme that could take effect on the human body faster than that of common enzymes, this super enzyme would be an all-purpose medicament which was able to cure many diseases and recover many people's abnormal conditions.

Zhang Tie finally understood a lot of things about his solution. It turned out to be the 1st generation of super enzyme being made of essential-energy reiki yeast.

Zhang Tie knew that it was impossible for him to not be famous this time. This time, being different from when he formed his iron-blood battle qi. Although iron-blood battle qi was sharp, after all, there were still many people who had formed it. He was only a special one among those who had formed the iron-blood battle qi. A LV 6 guy who had formed iron-blood battle qi could not raise people's attention too much on the Hidden Dragon Island.

However, this time, Zhang Tie casually produced the super enzyme. This was truly an influential, colossal event. Additionally, he could produce the super enzyme by the tons. Such a great ability would soon be known to the public. He could not bury the secret at all. This would definitely make him more popular.

When in Wild Wolf Castle and Blackhot City, Zhang Tie had already known how it felt when being well-known — gold, social status, beauties, crises, challenges would arrive closely after him. He had not imagined that he would soon be famous once again, and would be much more well-known than when he was in the Blackhot City.

'Have you prepared for it?' Zhang Tie felt that the hand of destiny was forcefully pushing him from behind after several months' rest.

After skimming over those books, Zhang Tie sat in the library for 1 more hour as he started to recall faces one by another, including that of his family members, his friends, those girls of the Rose Association, those comrade-in-arms in the Iron-Blood Camp. Finally, he locked on the bald-headed man, first lieutenant Freo.

He remembered that first lieutenant Freo was smoking a extra big cigar and was ferociously staring at him while his cigar almost touched onto Zhang Tie's forehead.

— Brat, remember that, you survive on behalf of me. You have to live well in the rest of your life. When you see beauties, you should f*ck them forcefully; when you see enemies, you should kill them all. That's what a man should do! Look at your coward performance during this period. Are you a man from the Iron-Blood Camp? It's just some fame. What are you afraid of? Once you become famous, women, money, and enemies will come chasing after you. How cool! For that red-skirt beauty, hurry up and f*ck her. What are you waiting for? Waiting for her to call you uncle?

'You said that men should live as splendid as summer flowers and die as cool as spring thunders. Look at you. Since you return to the Huaiyuan Prefecture, you have been living like a green dog-tail grass[1] being hit by the frost. F*ck! Are you hesitating on this? Are you my bro? Are you the man from the Iron-Blood Camp?'

"Of course, I'm your bro whom you've saved at the cost of your own life. Of course, I'm a man from the Iron-Blood Camp..." Zhang Tie mumbled. Then he gradually became strong-willed inside.

'F*ck, it's this father who develop the super enzyme. So what?'

Chapter 314: Being Famous

After leaving the library, it was already dark outside. Zhang Tie then went back to the place where he saw the red-skirt girl yesterday and sat there, waiting for her.

Zhang Tie was still hoping to see her over there once again; however, after waiting over 3 hours, with the exception of the chirps of insects and the refreshing wind, he didn't see anything. Finally, Zhang Tie knew that the red-skirt girl would not appear tonight. He then revealed a bitter smile as he stood up from cyan stone and shook dirt off his clothes before left.

'What about making a notice on people wanted...' a thought flashed across Zhang Tie's mind. He then remembered what 'Freo' had told him. Would I really want to wait for her baby to call me uncle?'

The moment Zhang Tie thought of that red-skirt girl having a kid who called him uncle, Zhang Tie's face and heart started to twitch irregularly. Finally, he touched that pair of embroidered shoes and gritted his teeth.

When he returned to his residence in Songtao Pavilion, he confirmed another sentence — what is not known by only one person is not be a secret at all. That he produced the all-purpose medicament had been known by at least 7 people.

Although it was already too late, there were still more than 30 people waiting for him outside the Songtao Pavilion, including both male and female. Most of them were dreaming to be apprentices of alchemists. Many of them were here to be on-lookers. As they heard that guy who produced the all-purpose medicament was living in the Songtao Pavilion, everybody wanted to see who he was.

All-purpose medicament! It was really shocking that someone could produce it. Those apprentices who were striving to be alchemists felt frantic about it. It was as unimaginable for a commoner that an average person who he met every day would suddenly became a super star.

Because enzyme could be easily manufactured, for those young men who were striving to be alchemists, most of them had attempted to produce super enzyme so as to prove that famous presumption in the world of alchemists when in the herbal medicine apprentice stage.

Although they all failed, their experiences in attempting to make super enzyme was the start for them to become alchemists. Although enzymes were easily made, it required a wide range of knowledge. Their teachers would require them to be familiar with the attributes of various herbal medicines and plants and gradually know more about the secrets of human body.

Almost every herbal medicine apprentice had tried to make enzymes at the beginning and had dreamed to create an all-purpose medicament using the super enzyme and become famed overnight.

However, it was just a dream. When none of them succeeded, everybody just accepted it calmly. But, they had never imagined that one day, the dream that thousands of herbal medicine apprentices could not realize over several hundreds of years was realized by a guy from nowhere.

How could they not be shocked? How could they not be thrilled? How could they not be curious? They all could not wait to have a look at that guy. They wanted to see if he had some sort of super power.

Those who were waiting for Zhang Tie had various purposes. As there were no idiots in the Breaking-Heavens Department, almost the moment they knew that someone could produce the all-purpose medicament, everybody smelt gold coins and privilege.

Compared to other special medicaments, this all-purpose medicament made of super enzyme didn't have many special effects, it didn't work too much on very healthy and strong warriors and fighters. They would at most take it as a preliminary compound medicament with many effects. However, for many people suffering from various diseases, this all-purpose medicament was definitely a marvelous medicine that would take effect instantly.

When Zhang Tie drew close to the Songtao Pavilion, those people only took him as an onlooker. Zhang Tie knew that he finally had to face this; therefore, he didn't care about that; instead, he just walked in front of the gate and prepared to insert his key inside.

Not until Zhang Tie took out of his key to open the gate did those people realize something. Because he was almost the last one who come back in Songtao Pavilion, everybody else was waiting for him.

Those people surrounding the Songtao Pavilion then exchanged glanced with each other. In a second, it became so quiet. Some of them were looking at each other, some took deep breaths while others wanted to surge forward toward Zhang Tie.

Finally, someone walked forward.

"Excuse me, are you Zhang Tie, your excellency?" A voice drifted from behind Zhang Tie.

Zhang Tie then stopped and looked back. He then found a 20-year old youth standing behind him, who was glancing over him in a serious way.

"Right, I'm Zhang Tie!" Zhang Tie said frankly as he looked around; he had already prepared for that question mentally.

"Argh, he's Zhang Tie..."

"I did not imagine that he'd be so young!"

"I thought he was a senior brother. He's a junior brother!"

"He's handsome!"

Hearing Zhang Tie admitting his status, whispers drifted to him from all directions while their eyes became more sparkly.

"Sorry to trouble you, but are you the producer of the all-purpose medicament?" That youth made the final confirmation.

"Yeah, I make the all-purpose medicament!" Zhang Tie revealed a wisp of smile, "I know that you all want to see the look of the guy who produces the all-purpose medicament. Now you've seen that. It's too late and very cold now. You'd better go back, I will not invite you in!"

Hearing Zhang Tie's words, everybody became dumbfounded while the youth who spoke first didn't even know what to say now.

When Zhang Tie turned back and wanted to push open the gate of Songtao Pavilion, another person walked out of the crowd.

"Hold on, junior brother!"

Zhang Tie then slightly frowned his forehead as he turned back. Hearing the man's appellation, Zhang Tie instantly felt being dwarfed and felt this man's trick.

It was a youth just over 20 years old, dressed in a white robe with an eye-attracting waist which was embroidered with grasses and gourds. Given from his waist, Zhang Tie could identify his real status — a waist banded alchemist. A waist banded alchemist was qualified to be proud of himself wherever he was.

"I'm Gu Bai; have you heard of my name?" Although smiling, this youth revealed a faint arrogance. When he spoke, he glanced at Zhang Tie, waiting for Zhang Tie to say something like 'I've heard about your name for a long time.'

However, after glancing at this guy twice, Zhang Tie shook his head, "Not before now!" Zhang Tie really had not heard about his name. 'Gu Bai' was nothing to do with him.

Hearing Zhang Tie's words, Gu Bai's face became a bit stiff. But it soon recovered. He remained his smile and acted gracefully, "As junior brother has been in Hidden Dragon Palace for a short time, you might not know about me. I just ranked 27 on the Hidden Dragon Craftsmanship List; not too sharp!"

He showed his modesty by giving an excuse.

Hearing that he entered the Hidden Dragon Craftsmanship List, Zhang Tie cast 2 more glances at him; however, Zhang Tie's tone remained very calm, "What do you want?"

"I heard you've worked out the all-purpose medicament. I want to invite you to the Flying Feathers Pavilion in Herb Valley!"

"Flying Feathers Pavilion?" Zhang Tie mumbled.

"Yes, after hearing that you've worked out the all-purpose medicament, some of my friends in the Herbs Valley are all very curious about this. They want to learn from you!"

Hearing his words, Zhang Tie then stared at Gu Bai's gleaming eyes. He then instantly understood it. Actually, they just wanted to steal away his method on producing the all-purpose medicament. At this moment, Zhang Tie didn't feel like talking with them at all.

"Sorry, I don't study too much on making medicinal powders. As I use secret knowledge to make the all-purpose medicament, I'm afraid that I will not share it with you!"

Being directly refused by Zhang Tie, Gu Bai's smile became stiff at once; he soon looked like bemoaning the universe.

"All-purpose medicament has numerous effects. As long as it is promoted, it will definitely benefit all living beings. Junior brother, you don't need to treasure it too much and act that exclusive. With one more people's effort, our star would be better. I'm offering out of good intentions!"

Hearing his words, Zhang Tie immediately pretended to be righteous, "As senior brother wants to bring happiness to the living beings on this planet, I will definitely give you a favor. How about this? In front of the public, you take out all of your personal property to buy a batch of my all-purpose medicament at cost. Then you distribute this batch of medicament to those that you want to bring happiness to for free. There are so many poor guys even in the Hidden Dragon Island. How about that? The one who regrets their words and dares not to do that would be a bastard and son of a b*tch!"

"Heh...heh..." Gu Bai started to cough after hearing Zhang Tie' words. He could not maintain that sad look any more; instead, his face blushed, "You...you...how could you treat bringing happiness to the rest of the world so frivolously?"

"It's a truly great undertaking to bring happiness to the rest of the world. In front of such a great undertaking, personal lives and honors are just trifling matters. We can abandon them if we want. Never care about the money. Senior brother dares not to forego these trifling things?" Zhang Tie asked with a smile.

"Erm...for this thing, how do I need your favor. If I can produce an all-purpose medicament myself, I will do that myself. No need for your help at all!" Gu Bai didn't know what to say.

"Right, senior brother, I also think so. For men, great undertakings like bringing happiness to the rest of the world is like entering the bridal chamber. Even though I am too tired and exhausted, I would always do it myself. I don't like others' help!" Zhang Tie stared at Gu Bai with a big smile, "Do you need others to help you with this? If you really need, I feel like doing you a favor..."

Puh! Hearing Zhang Tie's words, many onlookers burst out laughter; some girls' faces blushed as they swore at Zhang Tie inside, 'Rogue!'

Nobody had imagined that the person who produced the all-purpose medicament in the Breaking-Heavens Department could be like that.

"Of course, no need!" Gu Bai was choked by Zhang Tie's words as the blue veins on his forehead started to pop. He could not lose his temper in front of this huge crowd.

"So, please go back, senior brother, I don't need your help either..."

By then, Gu Bai realized that he had fallen into Zhang Tie's trap as his words were full of contradictions. After looking around at the crowd of the onlookers and glaring at Zhang Tie, Gu Bai couldn't stay there anymore. He directly left the Songtao Pavilion in an embarrassed manner.

Everybody knew that Zhang Tie was not a figure that could be cheated logically.

"Junior brother Zhang Tie, do you still sell all-purpose medicament? We want some! Someone asked loudly among the onlookers.

"The first batch has been sold out. The latest ones would be in 2 weeks. You can come to me then! Please go back, I'm really going to the bed!"

Hearing Zhang Tie's words, everybody left.

After seeing everybody leave, Zhang Tie intended to enter his door. All of a sudden, he raised his nose. He then instantly took out of the cloth-wrapped embroidered shoes from his coat and put them on his hands. After that, he started to touch that pair of shoes like touching a small white rabbit while sighing in an extremely kind way.

"What poor embroidered shoes! You've been deserted by your owner. If your owner still doesn't come for you tonight, you'll have to follow me in! But, trust me, I will treasure you very much. If your owner doesn't appear, I will have to hang you in the hall of Qinyun Palace for your owner."

"Douchebag!" Soon after his words, Zhang Tie saw that girl who was wearing red skirt in front of him. Whereas, now, she had changed into a moving white skirt.

At the sight of her, Zhang Tie felt the whole world, including his heart becoming alive. It felt like a rainbow which abruptly appeared in front of him while that blurry hole in his memory was filled with mixed moods in a split second.

"Give me my shoes!" The girl glared at Zhang Tie with somewhat bashful and furious expression. Her face was faintly covered with an icy frost. Across the entire Hidden Dragon Palace, nobody dared to take her belongings and play tricks with her like that.

As if he hadn't heard her words, Zhang Tie just fixed his eyes on her, "I went to the place where we met last night and waited there for 3 hours; knowing that you might not go there, I came back!"

"Why did you wait me?" The girl's voice became icy still.

"Because I couldn't remember what you looked like any more. Last night, when I came back, I kept missing you too much, even in my dreams. Therefore, I almost forgot your face! As I'm afraid of being unable to remember how you look, I wanted to meet you there to see you again..." Zhang Tie revealed a big smirk jubilantly, "It's okay now, I know your look once again!"

The girl had planned to beat Zhang Tie ferociously; however, not knowing why, hearing Zhang Tie's words, she only felt her face start to get a fever while that layer of icy frost over her face started to fade away.

She was a bit shocked by Zhang Tie's words. She didn't believe that if one thought too much about someone, they could forget that person's looks. Nevertheless, hearing Zhang Tie's frank and passionate statement, she knew that Zhang Tie wasn't lying to her.

Zhang Tie's passion was like a fire ball. The girl had not experienced such audacious love words before; she had not even heard about such words before.

After glancing at Zhang Tie's bright and honest eyes, her heart suddenly started to race. As a result, she dared not to stare at Zhang Tie's eyes any more.

"Argh, stay away from me!" The girl looked very furious at first; however, seeing Zhang Tie taking 2 steps towards her, she immediately became slightly flurried. Even though she was too much more powerful than Zhang Tie, as long as Zhang Tie drew close to her, she started to become stressed. For her, Zhang Tie seemed to be full of aggression.

"Well, I will not move..." Being afraid of scaring her away like yesterday, Zhang Tie hurriedly stopped.

"How did you know I was here!" The girl asked Zhang Tie with widened eyes. Seeing Zhang Tie stay still, she finally recovered her composure.

"Your smell. You smelt very special!" Zhang Tie looked around this girl with greedy and gleaming eyes as he kept sniffing the air forcefully, "You look so nice in any skirts. Oh, you've not told me your name?"

The girl glared at Zhang Tie incredulously, "Why would I tell you my name?"

"Because you lost your shoes and I picked them up. Additionally, I kept them 1 day for you. You should at least be polite to the one who helped you! Furthermore, you need to give me a photo of you, so that I never forget you again!" Zhang Tie waved his hands as he said loudly.

"Douchebag. It's obviously you who stole my shoes!" The girl bit her lips as she added, "It's already too polite to you that I don't beat you up!"

"No crap! How could a talented youth like me steal a woman's shoes! Are your shoes very expensive? How could I steal away your shoes if they were on your feet?" Zhang Tie replied brutally, "I don't care. If you don't tell me your name, you will not get back your shoes!"

After saying this, Zhang Tie felt empty on his hands as that girl directly grabbed her shoes away from Zhang Tie's hands in the air.

Zhang Tie was really frightened by this girl's power. After taking her shoes, the girl glanced at Zhang Tie pleasantly. Out of her expectation, Zhang Tie directly charged at her like how a starved tiger would chase after its prey...

Chapter 315: Being Shameless

Translator: WQL Editor: EbonyFrost

In a split second, Zhang Tie had opened his arms and charged at her. As a result, the girl became really flurried as she dashed away quickly and immediately flew 10 m away. Zhang Tie didn't stop; he kept surging towards her like a starved tiger.

The girl kept moving back while Zhang Tie kept moving forward. In the night, the girl flashed 100 m away in a blink of an eye. At the same time, Zhang Tie also exploded at his maximum speed and kept chasing after her.

"If you keep chasing after me, I'll beat you up!" The girl became a bit furious.

"You stole my things, now you want to run away?" Zhang Tie said aggressively.

"They're my shoes!" The girl was really infuriated by Zhang Tie.

"You snatched them away from me. How could they be your shoes? I picked up those shoes from the wild. How can you verify that you're that owner? Only you have shoes? You can bully your junior brother just because you are the senior sister? You can do whatever you want just because you have high fighting skills? Even though I could not defeat you, I will also have a try. I will see whether you can beat me to death..." Zhang Tie said like being wronged by a villain.

"What a douchebag!" The girl swore him furiously. When she saw Zhang Tie charging at her like a rascal once again, she instantly flew backward with a blushed face.

Zhang Tie charged at her with arms completely stretched. He was definitely intending to hug her. Since she was born, she had not been hugged by anyone in such a brutal way. Zhang Tie's behavior really frightened her.

The production of all-purpose medicament was a big event in Hidden Dragon Palace. When she heard that the one who produced all-purpose medicament was named Zhang Tie, who was living in the Songtao Pavilion, she wanted to have a look inside.

As there were people with the same name in the Hidden Dragon Palace, when she heard the name Zhang Tie, who produced the all-purpose medicament, she firstly recalled that douchebag that she met in Herb Valley. Being driven by curiosity, she came to the Songtao Pavilion to have a look and found it was truly the same person.

The girl hadn't imagined that Zhang Tie could find her in terms of her smell. Not even this, he even forced her out of there using aggressive words. Furthermore, Zhang Tie's passionate and honest words and the shameless movements along with his aggressive intention scared her away once again.

The girl hadn't seen such a man since she was born. She didn't know how to deal with him at all. Although she wanted to give Zhang Tie a lesson, the girl couldn't make the final decision. Therefore, facing Zhang Tie's straightforward passionate and honest eyes and shameless behavior, the girl felt breathless and dared not even to look directly into Zhang Tie's eyes.

At this moment, even she wanted to escape away, Zhang Tie wouldn't let her go away; instead, he kept chasing after her.

She had not been chased after like that. Therefore, when being chased after by Zhang Tie, she had a strange feeling that she hadn't experienced before.

However, the girl was really much more powerful than Zhang Tie. Even though Zhang Tie had unrivaled endurance as he had eaten 9 wild wolf seven-strength fruits, he still could not match the girl's speed.

In a blink of an eye, they had moved 500 m away from Songtao Pavilion. When the girl would soon run out of his vision, Zhang Tie became flurried. This time, he didn't even hold her tender hands. If she escaped away this time, he didn't know when he would see her next.

"Heh, hurry up, stop. If you keep running, I'll launch an

attack!" Zhang Tie started to threaten her. Although Zhang Tie couldn't match that girl on speed, with wild wolf Seven-Strength Fruits, Zhang Tie had lasting endurance. Even when rushing, Zhang Tie could still talk.

Hearing Zhang Tie shouting loudly in a flurried way, the

girl in front of him revealed a wisp of a smile.

Having not imagined that Zhang Tie could still talk normally

at this moment, the girl became amazed about Zhang Tie's endurance and running ability inside.

"You have 3 seconds, no regret!"

The girl ignored Zhang Tie's warning. "3...2...1...catch the thief, that female thief stole my shoes. Catch the thief, a female thief steals my shoes..." Zhang Tie shouted loudly behind her, "If you don't stop, I will report the case to the Qinyun Palace by offering a reward. I'm not frightened by you. I could really do that. You female thief who steals my shoes, just wait for others' judgment then..."

The girl became so irritated that she had never imagined that Zhang Tie could be that shameless. As she didn't want this trifling matter being known by the public, after swearing Zhang Tie "douchebag", she finally stopped.

When Zhang Tie caught up with her, the girl was so angry that she directly threw that pair of shoes onto Zhang Tie's head, "Here are you!"

Zhang Tie burst out loud laugh as he grabbed that pair of

shoes by hand at once before hugged them into his coat, "That's it, how could you grab another's belongings casually? You have to return it to its owner!"

"You bastard!" The girl swore.

Zhang Tie then replied with rolling eyes, "You really don't

need them?"

"Yes, I don't need them!" The girl glared at Zhang Tie with

gritting teeth. She wondered what else would that douchebag do.

"Well, now that it is your token of love, I will take it.

Never mind, I will preserve it well!" Zhang Tie then fixed his eyes onto that

girl with full of emotions, which really made her quiver for one time.

"You...you...when have I given you the token of love?" The girl's face totally blushed as she pointed at Zhang Tie.

"You said it just now!" Zhang Tie then waved her embroidered

shoes in front of her before hurriedly hid them in his coat, "You gave me your embroidered shoes and told me you didn't need them. Isn't this a token of love?

I'm not fixing one's shoes; however, a girl gifted here beloved embroidered shoes to me. Isn't that a token of love? How about explaining to the public and asking for their judgments. Doesn't it mean that a girl falls in love with that man by gifting her embroidered shoes to him? Do you dare to say this pair of shoes isn't yours? You dare to say you didn't gift it to me?"

Zhang Tie fabricated as he made a grimace towards that girl.

"You...you bastard!" The girl was so irritated and bashful

that she wondered why there was such a shameless man in the world? He was really the rogue of rogues. How could he say that I stole his belonging by taking my own shoes back? If I didn't need it, it then became his token of love.

"Now that you could gift me your embroidered shoes, may I

know your name now?" Zhang Tie replied without knowing what shame was.

"Give my shoes back!" That girl was driven so mad that she

almost passed out. Hearing Zhang Tie's reply, she became so bashful and irritated that she directly slapped towards Zhang Tie.

However, Zhang Tie didn't even hide from her attack. He just

watched her and waited for her smack. With a miserable shriek, he directly flew backward and fell down onto the grassland several meters away. He then rolled off the 10-m high grass slope and finally lay at the foot of the grass slope. With one foot cramped twice, he didn't move anymore.

The girl was also dumbfounded that she had not imagined that Zhang Tie didn't even hide just now. It only took him 30% of strength to smack him; but she clearly knew that even with one smack, she could easily kill a tiger or a leopard. Commoners could hardly stand it at all.

'Is he that weak? I've beaten him to death?' The moment she thought

about this, the girl suddenly felt very sorry. Seeing Zhang Tie lying there like a corpse, the girl hurriedly flew downwards the grass slope.

Lying on the grassland, Zhang Tie's face turned completely

pale. With eyes closed, he looked a bit frightening. At the sight of Zhang Tie's look, the girl felt sadder inside as she hurriedly squatted in front of Zhang Tie to take a check.

The girl stretched her hand under Zhang Tie's nostrils to

test his breathing rhythm. Out of her imagination, Zhang Tie directly tilted his head and kissed her hand.

"Argh..." Feeling like being struck by a lightning bolt, she

quivered all over. Before she responded, Zhang Tie who was lying on the grassland like a corpse immediately grabbed her two wrists and tightly hugged her. Then, after turning over, he directly pressed her under his body.

It was really out of her imagination that Zhang Tie was

playing dead. Without any preparation, she was successfully raided by Zhang Tie. His strength was so big that the girl could not shake herself out. As a result, she could only be pressed under Zhang Tie's body brutally and barbarously.

At this moment, it looked like that Zhang Tie was raping

her. The girl was really irritated; then, she became bashful; finally, she became flurried.

Although Zhang Tie had pressed many girls before, this time,

he felt most stimulative. Although pressing this girl, Zhang Tie didn't do any movement excessively; instead, he just fixed his eyes on her.

The girl then twisted her body when she found that Zhang Tie

was like a robust ox who didn't allow her to exert strength at all. As a

result, she just stared at Zhang Tie bashfully and furiously and tried to look stern, "What do you want, hurry up, let me off!"

"I won't!" Zhang Tie stubbornly shook his head, "If I let you off, you will escape away. If you escape away, I will not be able to catch up with you! As it's really hard to catch up with you, if I just let you off, I would be an idiot!"

The moment Zhang Tie said this, the girl felt being filled

with a strange feeling, which was warm, bashful, a bit sweet and furious. "If I know you are such a bastard, I would have slapped you to death!" While restraining that strange feeling, the girl uttered ferociously..

Chapter 316: Roguish Lord

Translator: WQL Editor: EbonyFrost

"I will say nothing of being slapped to death by your hand!" Zhang Tie made a grimace as he tilted his head to look at her, "It's said that beauty would look more beautiful in the lamplight. Actually, you also look more beautiful in the moonlight, especially when you look stern!"

Hearing Zhang Tie's compliment, the girl almost could not keep her stern look. Tilting her head, she dared not to look into Zhang Tie's hot eyes, "You douchebag, let me off!"

"If not because of my thick face[1], I would have been heavily wounded just now. You want me to end this by letting you off? At least you need to pay me a bit compensation..."

"What compensation?"

Pressing the girl under his body, Zhang Tie felt so stimulative. Seeing the girl could do nothing but lying under his body, Zhang Tie felt a pretty powerful, cool sense rising from inside.

"Tell me your name first!"

"I'm Lan Yunxi!" The girl replied as she looked at Zhang Tie's expression.

"Hmm, this name sounds nice. But it's strange, I might have heard about it somewhere before!" Zhang Tie narrowed his eyes and thought for awhile; however, he failed to remember where he had heard it before. Therefore, he didn't think about it anymore.

"Can you let me off now?" The girl tried to be calm.

"No way!"

"Why?" The girl glared at Zhang Tie.

"Because as long as I let you off, you will definitely beat me up! Additionally, it's not enough by only telling me your name!" Zhang Tie seriously explained.

"B*stard!"

"You should promise me one more thing, then, I will forgive you for that smack!"

"What?" The girl asked.

"Call me husband!" Zhang Tie said shamelessly.

With widened eyes, Lan Yunxi glared at Zhang Tie as she had not imagined that Zhang Tie could pose such an excessive requirement——calling him hu...husband.

The girl didn't speak again; instead, she instantly tried to struggle out of Zhang Tie's control. This time, she was so powerful that she almost turned Zhang Tie over to the ground. Her hand almost broke out of Zhang Tie's control too. This really shocked Zhang Tie as he hadn't imagined that this girl was so powerful. He almost lost control.

Zhang Tie was almost level 7 now. During the period in Hidden Dragon Island, Zhang Tie's strength surged so fast that even his hands could produce over 1 ton's strength. "In this case, the girl could still almost break out of my control." Zhang Tie was really shocked about her.

Although her hand didn't break out of Zhang Tie's control, one of her feet gained certain moving space. The girl then moved her foot and directly crashed against Zhang Tie's lower abdomen, which was really painful for Zhang Tie.

If not the iron-body fruits that Zhang Tie had eaten during this period, this girl would have long made Zhang Tie pass out.

Although not passing out, Zhang Tie almost became dizzy by this kick. As a result, he kept taking deep breaths.

When the girl prepared to kick Zhang Tie for the second time, Zhang Tie immediately stopped her kick by putting his knee against hers. At the same time, he wrestled his feet with hers while he tightly hugged that girl with his hands. When the girl started to struggle, two of them started to roll on the grassland.

When they stopped, the girl exclaimed once again as she was pressed under Zhang Tie's body again. Additionally, her legs had been split by Zhang Tie's legs from the middle. Zhang Tie had cut into the center of her legs like a plug. As a result, she could not even put her legs together. Furthermore, Zhang Tie kept his own lower abdomen close to that of hers, making her not able to attack the places above Zhang Tie's thigh, almost leaving no moving space for Zhang Tie.

This gesture made her much more bashful as it felt like Zhang Tie was raping her.

They both used all their efforts; at this moment, they both had been gasping.

"B*stard, let me off!" Lan Yunxi glared at Zhang Tie while her cheeks flushed like the rainbow in the skyline due to the previous movements and such a bashful gesture.

"Call me husband!" Zhang Tie widened his eyes at stared at her.

"No way!" Lan Yunxi tilted her head.

"You have one more chance, do it or not?"

"No way!"

At the sight of that girl under his body, Zhang Tie's heart raced as he lowered his head and ferociously kissed her lips.

"Wuh..." With widened eyes, Lan Yunxi could never believe that Zhang Tie dared to forcefully kiss her.

With widened eyes, they both stared at each other while their eyelashes almost collided. Zhang Tie kept watching her as her moods changed from shock, fury to shame in a few seconds.

Zhang Tie kept sucking her tender lips greedily. He had practiced his kissing skills by those girls of Rose Association. He really excelled at kissing. When he kissed her lips, his tongue constantly swam between her lips.

Soon, Lan Yunxi's eyes changed from being bashful into half-closed blur.

"Hmm..." When Lan Yunxi couldn't wait to utter a raptured nasal sound, Zhang Tie had finally opened her purely-white teeth using his tongue.

Several minutes later, Zhang Tie had already loosened his clutch; however, the girl had willingly hugged Zhang Tie and started to respond to him enthusiastically...

Several minutes later, Zhang Tie had been panting while his mummy had been as hard as iron. He then immediately left the girl's lips and knelt on the grassland in front of her. Being gasping, he instantly took off his trousers and hurriedly started to undo the girl's skirt.

When Zhang Tie was undoing his own waistband, that girl suddenly became shocked and became awake. The moment she saw the ugly mummy of Zhang Tie, who was going to pull off her skirt, the girl was driven extremely bashful in a split second.

"Argh, you...what are you doing?" The girl asked full of panic. Each girl would be a bit flurried when they faced this thing for the first time.

Zhang Tie raised his head and uttered seriously, "I'm going to occupy the shortcut towards your heart!"

Soon after he finished this sentence, Zhang Tie had been kicked and sent fly in the air and rolled 5-6 m away on the grassland.

After that attack, Lan Yunxi instantly jumped up from the grassland. Touching her fevered face, she instantly flashed several dozens of meters away without caring about whether Zhang Tie was live or not.

Twitching his mouth and touching that footprint on his chest, Zhang Tie climbed up from the grassland. He then saw that shadow 100 m away. Zhang Tie still wanted to chase after her; however, he realized that his butts were still naked.

Zhang Tie felt it a bit pitiful as she finally escaped away; however, thinking of tonight's achievement——He had already kissed her lips when they met for the second time, Zhang Tie burst out laughing once again, feeling full of an unspeakable sense of achievement.

For the girl's coy yet enthusiastic response just now, Zhang Tie felt like having discovered a treasure——this is a girl who looks cold yet is hot inside.

"Lan Yunxi...Lan Yunxi..." Zhang Tie smacked his lips as he mumbled. At this moment, he could still taste the remaining fragrance from the girl's lips, 'Wuh? That's so strange, how could I feel this name becoming so familiar!'

When Zhang Tie muttered this name, he walked towards Songtao Pavilion. He faintly felt having seen this name somewhere before.

When Zhang Tie returned to the Songtao Pavilion and caught sight of the tall cornice of the Songtao Pavilion, he instantly remembered where he had seen the name.

Gosh! When he finally remembered where he had seen this name, Zhang Tie instantly stopped. With widened eyes, Zhang Tie finally remembered that he had seen this name on the Hidden Dragon List in the Qinyun Palace.

Lan Yunxi ranked both first on the Hidden Dragon Fighting Force List and the Hidden Dragon Clan Contribution List.

"Is that girl, who became so flurried at the sight of him taking off his trousers, the 1st sister, the most famous figure in Breaking-Heavens Department?"

After thinking for quite awhile, Zhang Tie finally accepted this fact. Tonight, he had completed an earth-quaking reversal!

At this moment, Zhang Tie also figured it out why he couldn't remember where he had seen this name. Because when he saw this name in Qinyun Palace, he thought that must be a man.

...

On the second early morning, Yang Yuankang had come for Zhang Tie with an apology.

"When we got that batch of medicament a couple of days ago, we didn't know that is all-purpose medicament either. Zhang Feng then told some friends that you made the all-purpose medicament. Therefore, the moment they knew that was an all-purpose medicament, many people knew that you made that. I heard many people came here for you last night. Did they find trouble for you?"

Zhang Tie really didn't think too much about this event as he knew that it would happen sooner or later. Therefore, he didn't blame Yang Yuankang; instead, he comforted him, "Never mind, sooner or later, they would know that. How about the sales these days?"

Speaking of the sales, Yang Yuankang instantly became thrilled, "Demand totally exceeds supply. If we hadn't controlled the sales volume, we'd have long sold them all in one day!"

"He...he...you must have made a lot!"

"Previously, the selling price of one vial of that medicament was 5 gold coins; these days, it had risen to 9 gold coins!" Feeling embarrassed, Yang Yuankang looked at Zhang Tie, "How should we share the surplus profit..."

Zhang Tie then waved his hands generously, "It's yours. In the future, I will still provide your at the cost of 4 gold coins per vial..."

Yang Yuankang revealed a big smile as he felt Zhang Tie was really a good friend, "We rented a store in the Black Dragon Town. It's been decorated recently. We will start running it a few days later!"

Zhang Tie nodded as he suddenly recalled something, "Oh, do you know Lan Yunxi?"

"Senior sister Xi?" Yang Yuankang glanced at Zhang Tie surprisingly, "She's the most famous person in Hidden Dragon Palace. Many people were pursuing her..."

"I know, she ranks first in both Hidden Dragon Fighting Force List and Hidden Dragon Clan Contribution List. Those who dare to pursue her is really brave enough!" Saying this, even Zhang Tie didn't know how he felt. He just gritted his teeth inside and realized that he had a lot of competitors, "Could those guys be as shameless as I?"

"Hoho, senior sister Xi has an excellent look and great fighting force. What's more, she's the daughter of count Long Wind and the princess of Zhang clan in Huaiyuan Palace. It was nothing different than entering the sky with one footstep to get her heart for many people!" Yang Yuankang explained with a smile.

"What? Lan Yunxi is the daughter of Zhang Taixuan, the count Long Wind?" Zhang Tie widened his eyes, "Why not she surname Zhang?"

"Senior sister Xi's mother was born in the Lan clan of Xi'an Palace, who's a princess of Lan clan, also the first woman who married Lan clan after Lan clan and Zhang clan established connections through marriage. Her first offspring for Zhang clan should also surname Lan; therefore, senior sister Xi followed her mother's surname!"

Zhang Tie was really stunned. He finally understood what a holy fairy the woman he loved was! 'F*ck, that's too bad. If Count Long Wind knew that his daughter was almost raped by me, will he come to the Hidden Dragon Island with a sword to chop off my head..

Chapter 317: Manjusaka

Translator: WQL Editor: EbonyFrost

Zhang Tie was really shocked by the status of the woman he loved.

Zhang Tie understood that braveness was a necessary requirement for a man to love a woman. But being brave was not enough. He loved her not because of her status and the benefits that she could bring him. He didn't care about Lan Yunxi's family background and dad, but Zhang Tie had to admit that if he wanted to marry her, the relation between him and her would definitely be affected by the arguments and everything about her. This was unavoidable.

After Yang Yuankang left, Zhang Tie became very serious. He started to consider this issue seriously. After thinking for quite a long while, Zhang Tie got a damned and self-abased conclusion——with his present social status and position, even though Lan Yunxi agreed to marry him, she would still sustain great stress and contempt due to him. She might even encounter troubles that she could have avoided before.

If he married Lan Yunxi, the outcome would be similar to that of a princess marrying a wood cutting passer-by.

Although Zhang Tie felt uncomfortable about this conclusion, Zhang Tie knew that it was the fact. Zhang Tie would definitely not let a woman stand stress from her family and the reality because of his strong self-esteem.

He would not even frown his forehead a bit if he could stand all the stress for Lan Yunxi; however, all the stress should be carried by Lan Yunxi herself. Therefore, Zhang Tie would never let this happen. If a man could not help his beloved woman out of trouble; instead bring more troubles to the woman, he would not be qualified as a man.

Zhang Tie then gritted his teeth as his boiling mind started to recover composure and became as firm as heavy and hard granite.

"Lan Yunxi..." Zhang Tie silently mumbled this name several times before trying his best to recall her image. The girl's face became looming in his mind. Finally, Zhang Tie sadly found that over one night, with the exception of her clothes, he had forgotten about her look once again. If he told this to others, nobody would trust him; however, it was true.

'Is this lovesickness?' Zhang Tie didn't know. Shaking his head, Zhang Tie controlled his impulse to find Lan Yunxi and recall her look; instead, he took out of that pair of embroidered shoes from the inside of his coat and took a deep breath before he left.

Zhang Tie also knew that he was not qualified to mention the sacred word "love" in front of Lan Yunxi; however, he knew that his personal emotion to her was as fiery as fire and as firm as iron.

This morning, Zhang Tie practiced fundamental moving skills so seriously and painstakingly which greatly shocked his senior sister Ma Aiyun who was "guiding" him on one side.

After two hours of training, senior sister Ma Aiyun who had just heard the news. She then asked Zhang Tie, "It's said that there's a guy called Zhang Tie who had produced the all-purpose medicament, is that you?"

After throwing the towel used to clean his sweat on one side, Zhang Tie revealed a smile, "Haha, that's me."

"You're a hidden alchemist? But you didn't mention that before." Ma Aiyun asked out of curiosity.

"I'm not an alchemist. I was just fortunate enough to stumble upon the secret to producing this medicament!"

"Your medicament is really in urgent demand. Many of my friends want to buy it. But they could not get one even with 10 gold coins!"

"Your friends want that?"

"Of course, haven't heard that enzyme is the best beauty products for girls. Even common enzyme is good for beautifying skin and delaying wrinkles, let alone a super enzyme!" Saying this, Ma Aiyun smiled and asked in a joking way, "How about buying it directly from you at a lower price?"

'Using all-purpose medicament to beautify oneself?' Zhang Tie realized that he really didn't know about girls. For girls, the biggest role of all-purpose medicament which could save one's life at the critical moment is to beautify and delay old age. They would even spend all of their money on it.

Zhang Tie knew that 10 gold coins was not cheap for many girls. The monthly payment of Breaking-Heavens Department was only 30 gold coins, which had troubled many people a lot. However, there were still girls who would like to spend 10 gold coins to beautify themselves.

Realizing that Zhang Tie became a bit mind-absent, Ma Aiyun thought that it was a bit difficult for Zhang Tie to produce it in a short period; in her opinion, it was hard for professional alchemists to produce that, let alone Zhang Tie who wasn't an alchemist.

"Don't feel sorry about that. If you can't produce it in a short period, just forget about it." Although saying this, Ma Aiyun still revealed a sense of disappointment.

Zhang Tie then smiled as he directly took out his medicament container from the clothes rack on his side and took out 6 vials of all-purpose medicament that had been filled recently and gave them to Ma Aiyun, "Haha, if others want it from me, I might not have; but if senior sister Ma wants it, of course I have!"

At the sight of the vials of medicament, Ma Aiyun revealed a big smile at once as her face lit up. "It really wasn't expected that would you have some with you. How much? Tell you what, I can never afford more than 10 gold coins!"

"It's free. I gift them to you and the other senior sisters, 1 for each of you. Please share them with the other senior sisters. Thanks for your guidance to me during this period. This is just my little gift!" Zhang Tie added generously. "If I wanted money from you because of this little thing, you would look down upon me."

Ma Aiyun was also a generous person among Zhang Tie's senior sisters who could identify personal emotions very well. Hearing Zhang Tie's reply, she didn't hesitate anymore as she directly put away the vials, "Fine, I will say thank you to you on behalf of them. No matter what, you won't lack money in the future!"

Zhang Tie smirked as he suddenly remembered one thing, "Senior sister Ma, how do you usually make money with the other senior sister?"

"Mainly by doing clan tasks or collecting special items!"

"Is that hard?"

Raising her beautiful face, Ma Aiyun peered at Zhang Tie in a contemptuous way, "You think everyone can make money like you——by betting or producing all-purpose medicament? Any girls coming out of the Breaking-Heavens Department have become tough girls!"

Zhang Tie became slightly embarrassed as he smiled, "I have an idea. If you and the other senior sisters think it's feasible, you can open a store to sell all-purpose medicament on the Hidden Dragon Island. All-purpose medicament has a good market now. Later on, I can provide you all-purpose medicament at a lower price and you won't have to work that hard."

Hearing Zhang Tie's words, Ma Aiyun fixed her eyes on him as she blinked her eyes and asked seriously, "Do you mean it?"

"Of course I do!"

"What's the price if I take that medicament from you?"

"Only 4 gold coins per vial for you and the other senior sisters!"

"4 gold coins?" Ma Aiyun was really shocked by such a low price. She looked at Zhang Tie seriously like watching a flower before puffed, "That's not bad, tell me, Caidie or Ziyi, which one do you like? I will play matchmaker!"

"Actually I want you. You really have a nice figure, senior Ma. You're plump and womanly. Each time I see you I'd feel my heart racing fiercely!" Zhang Tie joked.

Hearing his words, Ma Aiyun's cheeks blushed as she punched her tender fists towards Zhang Tie's head, "Snake-tongued, take my punch."

Zhang Tie hurriedly jumped away with a big smile...

...

After today's training, Zhang Tie came to the administration center of Herb Valley in the afternoon and booked his first batch of exclusive vials of all-purpose medicament.

As many alchemists were gathered in the Breaking-Heavens Department's Herb Valley, it became Herb Valley's responsibility to provide various services for alchemists of all levels, including providing customized vials of medicament, which is the most common service. Of course, even one if wasn't an alchemist, you could also customize vials to hold vinegar as long as you could afford that.

Considering his later development, Zhang Tie decided to use his private registered symbol on the vials.

The fee for registering personal symbol for the vials of medicament in the Alchemists Association was 86 gold coins, which was very expensive and far exceeded commoners' purchasing ability. After this register, the registrant would enjoy the protection of the Alchemists Association and owned all the rights and interests of this symbol.

Previously, Zhang Tie wanted to register a sapling as his symbol; however, he was told that many alchemists had adopted saplings as symbols which were of great similarity. Therefore, the Alchemists Association had determined to not accept sapling as an exclusive symbol.

Finally, Zhang Tie used a wholly new symbol!

It was composed of two elements, a mysterious, bloody, beautiful flower in full bloom and a word under it which could arise unlimited imaginations from people, Manjusaka.

Manjusaka was also named Higanbana or demon's kindness. It represented elegance and purity. In some places, it also represented sad memory and mutual miss.

After receiving Zhang Tie's symbol, a professional painter would be responsible for designing it. The symbol was featured by aestheticism.

When the painter finished the manjusaka, it reminded Zhang Tie of Lan Yunxi. Therefore, he directly fixed that.

Compared to this beautiful symbol, the quantity of the first batch of vials of medicament Zhang Tie booked shocked all the people in the Administration Center——10.000 vials! For any alchemists, this was a terrible quantity. In the entire Breaking-Heavens Department, no alchemist could produce so much medicament at once.

After Zhang Tie left Herb Valley, the news about a number of vials of medicament he ordered was heard by someone, which arose a series of changes in the later, which even out of Zhang Tie's imaginations.

After leaving Herb Valley, Zhang Tie came to the Wharf to set free fishes again. After that, he had supper before returning to his residence. He then entered the Castle of Black Iron.

In a few seconds, after entering the Castle of Black Iron, Zhang Tie was really startled as he could see no fruit on the entire Manjusaka Karma Fruit Tree...

Chapter 318: Free Will

Translator: WQL Editor: EbonyFrost

Zhang Tie remembered that when he entered the Castle of Black Iron last time, he could still see a lot of fruits hanging from the tree, including 3 ripe Leakless Fruits which were used for spare blood, a Leakless Fruit which should have been ripe today, an Iron-Body Fruit which had been over 80% ripe, a raw huge wolf Seven-Strength Fruit, a raw Fruit of Redemption from golden uangs, a raw Fruit of Redemption from earthworms and those Fruits of Redemption from sand-scale fish that he had set free these days. However, at this moment, all of them had disappeared.

Watching the small tree, Zhang Tie rubbed his eyes. He moved around the small tree for a circle with disbelief. He could see nothing but tree leaves. "What's happening?"

Zhang Tie couldn't stand being vacant as he stretched his hand towards the small tree while a line of words appeared in front of him.

——The sacred free will is inviolable. It is the supreme law that all the living beings in this universe should follow. As Lord has violated someone's free will recently, the aura and energy of all the fruits on the Manjusaka Karma Fruit Tree would dissipate automatically. Besides, no other fruits would ripen on it in two weeks.

'Sacred free will is inviolable? When did I violate someone's free will?' Zhang Tie became dumbfounded as he tried to remember, 'Wait, is it because of what happened last night...no...'

When Zhang Tie became dumbfounded, Heller, the steward of Castle of Black Iron had already stood beside the stages below the small tree and watched Zhang Tie in a frustrated expression.

Zhang Tie then walked downwards the stages.

"Castle lord..." Heller bowed in front of Zhang Tie elegantly.

"Heller, what's wrong with this? Why are the fruits..."

"You should ask yourself, my lord. The Manjusaka Karma Fruit Tree reflects the law of cause and effect. Your behavior will definitely cause the corresponding result! This is the price for you to violate other's free will..." Heller said calmly.

"Free will? Is it because of Lan Yunxi?"

"Right! You forcefully restricted the girl's freedom and movement before forcing her to call you husband; finally, you even kissed her. You had violated her free will!" Staring at Zhang Tie with endless interests, Heller added, "Were you really wanting to rape her at that moment? If so, you must have overridden her free will and you might suffer an even more serious consequence!"

Feeling extremely embarrassed, Zhang Tie scratched his head, "How come, I was just making a joke at the beginning. Although being a bit roguish in the later, I would never do that excessively..."

"But you've even taken off your trousers!" Heller answered with a wisp of smile.

"Um...I was too concentrated then. At the beginning when I forcefully kissed her, she was truly opposing; however, in the later, I didn't force her any more; instead, she started to hug me and kiss me. I thought she...she would like to do that with me. However, she was finally scared away!"

This was what Zhang Tie truly thought. For the girls whom Zhang Tie had encountered, he found that as long as they felt like kissing him in that way, they seemed to be not resistant to do that. That night, although it started with a forceful kiss, in the middle, they both indulged in doing that. Therefore, out of impulsion, Zhang Tie wanted to directly make love with her. However, it was out of his imagination that the moment he took off his trousers, he woke up her who then directly kicked off this awkward, lewd man.

After doing that, Zhang Tie made a conclusion. He also felt being a bit anxious to do that at that moment. The girls of Breaking-Heavens Department could never be matched by those in the Rose Association, let alone Lan Yunxi. If he only forcefully kissed her like an innocent boy and let her off, the result would be completely different from now.

Saying this, Zhang Tie suddenly remembered something. How could Heller know what happened last night so clearly? He had not imagined about this question before. He then instantly widened his eyes and gazed at Heller, "Does it mean that you know everything I did outside?"

"Never mind, castle lord, what I know is only about the affairs between you and the fruits of Manjusaka Karma Fruit Tree. This is the meaning and reason for my existence!" Heller explained, "As for others unless you told me, I would never know!"

'Hush...' Zhang Tie finally let out a sign. 'It's good. If Heller knew everything about what I did outside, it would be too awkward. In the future, if I marry a wife and make love with her, Heller could even know when I take off my clothes and break a wind, that would be nothing but live performance.'

"And...if I make love with women, will it lead to any fruits?" Zhang Tie asked obscurely.

"No!" Heller answered.

Zhang Tie finally became reassured. However, looking at the fruitless small tree, Zhang Tie felt painful once again, 'My Leakless Fruits! It's really a great loss this time. Besides those fruits that have disappeared, the small tree would even stop bearing any fruit in 2 weeks. It seems to be a protest about what I've done last night.'

'No way, I was just forcefully kissing her. I've not even done anything excessively. If some girl forcefully kiss me, I will definitely not protest at all.' Zhang Tie complained inside.

"Oh, what do you mean by free will? If someone wants to set me up, will I violate their free will by beating them?"

"You could counterattack your enemies for free. This would not bring you any punishment!" Heller stared at Zhang Tie, "Free will is the most fundamental right of all the living beings. It is the meaning and foundation for living beings to exist and the right of free choice that every living being own to experience their independent lives and value of existence. The more senior and intelligent the living beings and social existences were, the more they would respect the free will of all the rest living beings. By comparison, the lower, corrupted and darker the living beings and social existences were, the more they would destroy and trample on others' free will!"

"Like Sun Dynasty?" Zhang Tie asked.

"Yes, Sun Dynasty is that extremely corrupted and dark social existence. It tramples on everybody's free will in the name of supreme gods. This is the largest blasphemy to all living beings!"

"Are there truly gods?" Zhang Tie rolled his eyes as he asked instantly.

Heller immediately saw through Zhang Tie's trick as he answered wisely and obscurely, "I've told you that I didn't know about the answer of this question; perhaps, from the perspective of free will, you can call those who own the most unlimited and powerful abilities to completely carry out their own free will as gods."

"You mean, those deities are always happy. Because a person or living being who could perform his free will to the utmost would never be irritated and frustrated. Neither would he have any negative mood!" A thought flashed across Zhang Tie's mind. Heller's answer immediately reminded Zhang Tie of this question, If so, why are many deities in the legends are very narrow-minded? Why do they have various negative moods like fury, jealousy and always punish others?"

"They're just tricks used by those scoundrels, they put their own desires and fears onto real deities and create fake deities to frighten people. In their words, deities are all-mighty. They create everything; however, deities could not control the living beings that they created. They might even create something that they dislike, which make them tired and troubled with mixed moods. This is a self-contradiction. Because there isn't a deity who's both all-mighty and incompetent in the universe. This violates the fundamental rule of the universe."

"What's the fundamental rule of the universe?" Zhang Tie's curiosity was arisen once again.

Heller cast a deep glance at Zhang Tie and put it straightly, "Everything runs as it should be."

"Everything runs as it should be." This answer was really out of Zhang Tie's imagination. It sounded very simple, yet contained many secrets. Zhang Tie mumbled it twice. Although a thought flashed across his mind, he still couldn't understand it. After thinking twice, Zhang Tie still couldn't understand anything not catch anything. Zhang Tie then didn't think about it anymore as what he usually did. He was not that stubborn.

"You say you know everything about the fruits on the small tree?"

"Hmm, right..." Zhang Tie changed his focus so fast that even Heller was startled about that. How could a guy who was interested in the fundamental rule of the universe suddenly asked about fruits on the small tree?

"You must know the causes about those disappeared fruits, right?" Zhang Tie revealed a bit wretched which even Heller could not stand.

"Yes!"

"Then, I want to know that...that...whether that is Lan Yunxi's first kiss?"

Looking at the wicked guy, Heller became wordless.

"I refuse to answer you about that question!" Heller remained his principle.

Zhang Tie then crossed his arms like a rogue, "As long as you told me, I will instantly increase 100,000 of basic energy storage units for Castle of Black Iron!"

"I have my principle, please don't insult me, castle lord!" Heller looked very righteous.

"200,000!"

"You think I'm that person?"

"300,000!"

"As Castle of Black Iron is yours, do you think its useful to lure me with your belongings?"

"400,000!"

"It's not a kind way to talk about a girl's privacy!"

"500,000!"

"That's not good!"

"600,000..." Zhang Tie gritted his teeth as it would take him several days to increase so many basic energy storage for Castle of Black Iron.

Heller still didn't say anything. Zhang Tie then turned around and intended to leave while Heller hurriedly stopped him by pulling his arm, "Yes, that was her first kiss!"

Zhang Tie then burst out a big laughter. He suddenly felt that the lost fruits were worthwhile..

Chapter 319: Big Wave

Translator: WQL Editor: EbonyFrost

The headquarters of Long Wind Business Group was located in a 300-m skyscraper in a prosperous area of Yiyang City. The entire building was like a sailboat. The building was covered with sparkling reinforced glass walls. It was beautifully shaped and was the landmark of this region.

Being directly affiliated with the Zhang clan, Long Wind Business Group not only reached each corner of Huaiyuan Prefecture but also in the entire Waii Sub-continent. It was qualified to rank top 20 in Waii Sub-continent.

The total asset of Long Wind Business Group was 3.8 billion gold coins. It's business scope covered banking, insurance, industry and mining, shipping, manufacturing, port, overseas trading, munition, daily goods, medicine, traffic, navigation and armed employment.

The business group employed 870,000 people directly. It owned the largest armed fleet across the Waii Sub-continent. Meanwhile, it was the largest military supplier across Waii Sub-continent. The rune weapons sold by Long Wind Business Group occupied 1/8 of the high-end military products market across the Waii Sub-continent. Additionally, the battle crossbows produced by Zhang clan of Huaiyuan Palace and sold by Long Wind Business Group monopolized above 70% of the high-end battle crossbows market in Waii Sub-continent.

Zhang's crossbows were well-known around the world. All the warriors and fighters who took battle crossbows as weapons knew Huaiyuan Palace's battle crossbows. Many of them were proud of having a advanced battle crossbow produced by Huaiyuan Palace.

From some perspective, Long Wind Business Group was an epitome and tentacle of Zhang clan of Huaiyuan Palace to the outside world.

To manage such a huge business empire, the headquarter of Long Wind Business Group had to collect and analyze information from everywhere.

The headquarter of Long Wind Business Group was matched with the largest crystal remote-sensing communication center, which contained over 1000 staff. In each second, messages from across the Waii Sub-continent would be collected here through communication nodes, enabling the headquarters of the Long Wind Business Group to master the latest news from all aspects like a big invisible net.

The news being collected here included latest prices of commodities, business opportunities, special events, changing ruling powers and all the other economical, political, cultural and social dynamic information from wherever the agencies of Long Wind Business Group were located.

The news that Zhang Tie customized 10,000 vials of medicament was also received by Long Wind Business Group late on May 23rd.

The message being received through crystal remote-sensing communication was a series of remote-sensing communication codes composed of signals of different duration. This message was first passed to the communication center of the headquarter. After that, a remote-sensing message receiver on a communication position recorded the signals and sent back a receipt before giving the record paper to the examiner on his side.

Although it was already in the late night, staff in the Remote-Sensing Communication Center of the headquarter were still very busy. After checking the codes a few seconds, the examiner found no problem with it. He then rapidly took that recording paper to the Decoding Center of the Communication Center.

"News from Hidden Dragon Island; it's sent through Fengxin B LV 3 cryptographic codes, please decode it as soon as possible!"

Soon after taking the recording paper, the staff in the Decoding Center had already translated the information. It was only one common sentence.

"Zhang Tie, a student of Breaking-Heavens Department registers his exclusive symbol of medicament and orders 10,000 vials of medicament at once. He says that he will purchase another great batch of vials in a short period. He estimates that the further purchase would not be less than 100,000 vials! Given his abnormal order, please pay special attention to him!"

After decoding this sentence, the staff didn't waste any time; instead, he directly passed this message to the Information Center. The moment the staff of the Information Center received this information, he had stored this message in the super brain over there.

The super brain of the information center of Long Wind Business Group was a Xuanyuan 7-type large-scale steam-driven computer from the East Continent. It contained 154,000 computing gears and parts with super high precision, which weighed 513 tons in total. The perimeter of its computing gears could circle twice around Yiyang City. The entire steam-driven computer consisted of three functions, namely computing, storage and input/output. Additionally, it could output message through printing, mapping and card. In this age, undoubtedly, such a set of steam-driven computers represented the top achievement of human beings in machinery manufacturing.

Only a few minutes after Zhang Tie's message was input into the storage equipment of this steam-driven computer, a information analyst of the Information Center had discovered 3 intelligence information chains concerning "Zhang Tie" and "All-purpose medicament" that Long Wind Business Group had received in these days from the intelligence associative feedback output from the steam-driven computer.

The earliest message was sent from manager Zhang of the Long Wind Pearl Field on the Hidden Dragon Island——Zhang Tie, a student from Breaking-Heavens Department can produce a special solution which is of great effect to rheumatism, arthritis and gastric ulcer. It is of great medical function and promotion value. Manager Zhang suggested the business group to dispatch someone to negotiate with Zhang Tie so as to purchase the secret knowledge of Zhang Tie's special solution or directly cooperate with him. After mass production, the business group will promote the solution to the market through the channels of the business group for mutual benefit.

The second intelligence arrived a couple of days later than the first one. It was sent from the Hidden Dragon Palace——Zhang Tie, a student from Breaking-Heavens Department had produced the all-purpose medicament which had passed the medical effect test of master Su Yun, it's medical effect is as follows...

The third intelligence was just received——Zhang Tie, a student of Breaking-Heavens Department registers his exclusive symbol of medicament and orders 10,000 vials of medicament at once. He says that he will purchase another great batch of vials in a short period. He estimates that the further purchase would not be less than 100,000 vials! Given his abnormal order, please pay special attention to him!"

When manager Zhang sent the first intelligence, he didn't know that Zhang Tie was producing the super enzyme, namely the all-purpose medicament. However, the second message from Hidden Dragon Palace justified the real status of Zhang Tie's solution. Today's message then indicated that Zhang Tie would push his all-purpose medicament into the market.

If not the quantity of the vials that Zhang Tie customized, the value of the three messages were not great to the Long Wind Business Group at all.

For super powers like Long Wind Business Group, it didn't lack cooperation with alchemists. Even though Long Wind Business Group and Zhang clan cultivated alchemists themselves. These alchemists were all excelled in making various medicaments; some of them could even produce advance medicaments.

Although Zhang Tie's all-purpose medicament had various marvelous effects, most of which were based on human beings' physiological functions. According to the strictest standards on dividing medicaments adopted by the Alchemists' Association, those all-purpose medicaments produced by Zhang Tie could only rank LV E and LV D. It was more effective than LV 1 antidote; additionally, it owned many other effects which were a bit dwarfed than other professional medicaments. This indicated that the price of one vial of this medicament could hardly reach 7-10 gold coins.

Many alchemists won't even wast time on producing such "cheap" items. Those who made money by producing LV 1 antidote were all low-level suspending gourd alchemists. When they reached binding-belt alchemists, they would be able to produce more valuable items.

However, every change would finally reach a qualitative change.

If a common suspending gourd alchemist spent all of his efforts and time on producing LV 1 antidote in one year, he could only produce 300-500 vials.

Even senior alchemists like master Suyun could not produce more than 1000 vials of LV 1 antidote in one year. This explained why many senior alchemists didn't want to produce low-level medicament——they could not gain more profits than producing advanced medicament at the cost of the same time.

For example, if one used an advanced machine tool which could process steam-driven computer's precision gears to process spades and iron hammers, one would not gain more profits.

However, don't forget the number of vials of medicament that Zhang Tie customized for the first batch!

10,000 vials, and 100,000 more in the future!

What did this mean? If this was the speed at which Zhang Tie produced the all-purpose medicament, even though merely taking these all-purpose medicaments as a LV 1 antidote, Zhang Tie had already been more efficient than hundreds of suspending-gourd alchemists at producing a LV 1 antidote by working overtime.

Although LV 1 antidote was not expensive, it was also a very significant strategical material like crystal, wheat flour, steel & iron and one of the necessary battle materials that were required by a human army.

In the past half a year, with the gradually intense situation in the Waii Sub-continent, the marketing prices of various medicaments including LV 1 antidote, especially some fundamental strategical materials had grown at least 50%. Many powers had already enlarged and accelerated the storage of "materials for the winter"

Let alone Huaiyuan Palace, even the entire Jinyun Country had enlarged the purchase of various strategical materials; however, the total quantity of the vials of LV 1 antidote that Jinyun Country stored might not even surpass 100,000.

When the information analyst caught sight of the last one of the three messages concerning Zhang Tie, he almost couldn't believe his own eyes. How could someone need so many vials of medicaments? After a confirmation, his face instantly changed as he stood up at once and rushed into the director's office.

Only after two minutes, the director of the Information Center had hurriedly left his office.

Without heading for other managers of the business group, the director directly ascended to floor 99 of the skyscraper using the elevator at the fastest speed and entered the director-on-duty's office.

...

"You mean that juvenile called Zhang Tie in the Breaking-Heavens Department probably have known how to produce all-purpose medicaments in a large scale?"

In the office of almost 1000 sq meters, a 50-odd-year-old white man seriously asked him with his eyes fixed on the director of the Information Center in an extremely majestic manner.

"That's it. According to the first message that the manager of the Long Wind Pearl on the Hidden Dragon Island sent, Zhang Tie generously gifted at least 10 kg to the yakshas in the sea and the other staff in the Pearl Field, which was equal to over 100 vials of that medicament. If he could not produce it so easily, how could he gift so much at once?"

"What else?"

"Before that medicament was verified as an all-purpose medicament, Zhang Tie took this thing as a drinking that he drunk a great amount of such a medicament over a long period of time. Judging from the situations and so many vials of medicament that Zhang Tie ordered this time, we could ensure that Zhang Tie had probably mastered the method to produce this medicament on a large scale!"

Standing in front of that man's desk, the director of the Information Center slightly bent over and answered respectfully.

The 50-odd-year-old man then narrowed his eyes as he tapped the intelligence on the desk slightly while fixing his eyes on the testing data on Zhang Tie's all-purpose medicament made by master Suyun. He started to be serious.

"Large-scale..." The on-duty director of Long Wind Business Group mumbled slightly as a shred light flashed across his eyes.

Large-scale steel & iron manufacturing capability...large-scale grains production capability...large-scale army...large-scale funds...large-scale massacre...large-scale population...even large-scale ants——Any thing, once being connected with "large-scale" would form a threatening force.

At this moment, what was behind "large-scale" was a medicament above LV 1——large-scale all-purpose medicament production...

"It seems that I have to go to the Hidden Dragon Island tomorrow!" The director of Long Wind Business Group replied calmly, "For so many vials of medicaments that Zhang Tie ordered, the business group had to keep secret. Nobody is allowed to look up the intelligence concerning this without the consent of the director of the Business Group!"

"Yes, sir!" After the reply, the director of the Information Center remembered something, "Hidden Dragon Island has already sent the news that Zhang Tie registers his exclusive symbol and orders 10,000 vials of the medicament for the first batch to the Alchemists Association of Jinyun Country!"

Hearing this, the director of Long Wind Business Group faintly frowned his forehead...

...

At the same time, two people were talking icily and simply in a gloomy basement.

"Someone on the Hidden Dragon Island of Huaiyuan Palace's Zhang clan suddenly orders 10,000 vials of medicament with uniformed symbol!"

"10,000 vials? Do we know him?"

"We don't, a new symbol is used on the vials——Manjusaka!"

"Go check!"

"Yes, sir!"
