Chapter 3881: Visitor from Medicine King Island

Master Wuyan, standing nearby, nodded and took a few steps forward. He produced four jade boxes, opening each one to display their contents before the elder.

The white-bearded, white-haired elder's eyes naturally lit up at the sight of the items in the four jade boxes.

Indeed, it was the Heart of the Millennium Phoenix Wood, Snow Region Divine Flower, Ghost Whisker Grass, and... one Crimson Blood Vermilion Fruit.

He Wen's beard trembled slightly as he reached out, just about to touch the Crimson Blood Vermilion Fruit.

The jade box was promptly closed by Master Wuyan.

The master offered He Wen an apologetic smile. "Elder He Wen, I apologize. These medicinal ingredients are a unique set, exceedingly precious."

"You, monk, are incredibly rude," a young woman standing behind Master He Wen angrily exclaimed, clearly displeased.

"My master merely wished to examine the Crimson Blood Vermilion Fruit. Why must you be so stingy?"

The woman, about eighteen years old, had a small, oval face like frosted ice, marked by a hint of anger.

With distant, dark brows and cherry-like lips, her appearance was strikingly beautiful.

She was currently glaring at Master Wuyan, her brows slightly furrowed, looking very displeased.

Master He Wen looked at the girl with affection, smiling as he patted her hand. "Hanzhi, do not be rude to the Master."

"This is my humble disciple, Hanzhi. Please forgive her discourtesy."

He Wen then turned back to Master Wuyan, nodding and smiling. "This Master should also be an alchemist, correct?"

Ni Hanzhi snorted at this, turning her face to the side.

Given her master's status, why bother being so polite to an unknown, smelly monk?

It was simply unnecessary.

A hint of subtle disdain flickered in the girl's eyes.

Master Wuyan's composure was excellent. Although he had long noticed the girl's expression, he chose not to take offense.

Hearing He Wen's words, he nodded and said apologetically, "I apologize, Elder He Wen. We only have this single set of ingredients for the Soul Revival Pill, so please understand."

He Wen nodded in understanding. "That is natural."

Not to mention the Crimson Blood Vermilion Fruit, which was unheard of, even the Snow Region Divine Flower and Phoenix Wood were exceedingly rare divine-grade medicinal ingredients.

Ordinary people wouldn't just find them; they were practically mythical.

It was entirely reasonable for the other party to preserve them with such caution.

Ni Hanzhi snorted, retreated to her master's side in a huff, and silently closed her mouth, her heart filled with displeasure.

These people were clearly begging her master for help, yet they dared to act so guarded. It was infuriating.

She was one of the most outstanding young disciples of Medicine King Island.

Her master was a revered figure of Medicine King Island, accustomed to receiving respect in every city he visited. Who would dare treat them with such an attitude, closing the box before even allowing a clear look at the ingredients?

Out of respect for her master, she refrained from an immediate outburst but showed no good grace to Yun Piaomiao and the others.

Yun Cong and Yun Piaomiao, the two brothers, both appeared unconcerned.

If they could invite one revered figure from Medicine King Island to Thunderwind City, they naturally had ways to invite a second or third.

This alchemist He Wen was a divine-grade alchemist who had been renowned throughout the three prefectures for many years.

It was said that his alchemy skills were second only to the Island Master and the Grand Elder, and it seemed difficult to find anyone more skilled in pill-making than Elder He Wen across the entire three prefectures.
