Chapter 427 A raccoon dog from a hill
"You! You guys came up so soon?"
Wu Shanlin stared in amazement at the two people who were sitting on the rocks on the top of the mountain, gasping for breath.
My brother even said that they would show mercy to them when they were no longer able to do so. However, who would have known that the two of them had only happened to meet my junior sister and stayed for a while before they actually climbed to the top of the mountain.
Bai Yaoyao carefully wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve, and sighed repeatedly on her face. They thought that their sincerity must have been seen by the sect leader, so they could climb the stairs so easily.
But he was sneering in his heart. Although the Xuandan Gate's welcoming stone steps were weighed down by gravity, they were still somewhat inferior to the Stairway to Heaven in the Xinggong Secret Realm. Moreover, they did not have many of the advantages of the Stairway to Heaven. It looked as if it was built purely to make things difficult for people.
Wu Shanlin and Wu Shancai's plan failed and Bai Yaoyao blocked their way so that they had nothing to say and could only leave with the two of them in disappointment.
The two brothers took the two people away separately, and Wu Shanlin was responsible for taking Bai Yaoyao to find a familiar pharmacist.
"Let me tell you, Master Wu Zhen is the best alchemist in our sect! Usually, the queue for medicine from him is three months later. If it weren't for the fact that you are sensible, I wouldn't have taken you to cut in line!"
Bai Yaoyao thanked him immediately and asked casually, "Brother Wu and Master Wu both have the same surname, so are they relatives?"
Wu Shanlin raised his head proudly, "That's the ancestor of our Wu family!"
Bai Yaoyao understood, it turned out that there was a backer. No wonder these two brothers had low cultivation levels, but acted so domineeringly and unconcealedly.
As they were talking, they arrived at a medicinal garden.
The medicine garden is not big, much smaller than the spiritual medicine garden that Bai Yaoyao collected from the Star Palace Secret Realm, and there are not as many rare herbs in it.
When the two arrived, there were two other people in the medicine garden besides Master Wu.
One of them was wearing the same disciple uniform as Wu Shanlin, but it was embroidered with gold thread, making it look more luxurious.
The other one was wearing a moon-white brocade robe. He did not have a handsome face, sparse eyebrows, and triangular eyes that looked a bit fierce. Although he looked rough, he held a fan to pretend to be elegant, which looked very strange.
"Hey, isn't this Master Wu's secular junior? What's his name?"
When Wu Shanlin saw this man, his face changed, but he immediately forced a smile and said with a bit of flattery, "Hello, Senior Brother Meng! I am Wu Shanlin."
When Bai Yaoyao heard the word "Meng", she couldn't help but narrow her eyes.
Is it "Meng Duan"? What a coincidence?! I met him right after entering the mountain?
Wu Zhen couldn't help but frown when he saw Wu Shanlin, "Didn't I tell you and your brother to go together to take charge of recruiting new members? Why are you back again!"
Wu Shanlin quickly pushed Bai Yaoyao forward and smiled flatteringly, "Master uncle, this girl is seriously ill, I brought her here to seek medicine out of kindness! Please help cut in line and see her first!"
"Nonsense!" Wu Zhen was furious. "There are already rules in the sect that those who want medicine should go to the front of the hall to register. How can you just jump the queue just because you have some connections?"
As he said this, he glanced at Meng Duan and the other man standing beside him, and it was obvious that he was making a veiled attack.
Meng Duan glanced at Du Zhirong, who had a gloomy face and didn't even wave the fan, and couldn't help but feel angry.
Old thing! Taking advantage of your age!
Relying on the fact that he is the most famous alchemist in the sect, he didn't even give him face!
He made a huge fool of himself in front of Master Du!
After this incident is over, I will make sure Master kills this old guy!
A hint of ruthlessness flashed across Meng Duan's eyes. Wu Zhen did not notice it, but Bai Yaoyao, who had been paying attention to the movements of the few people, saw it clearly.
Wu Shanlin was not annoyed after being scolded. He just smiled awkwardly, looked at Meng Duan and the other man, and actually started talking to Master Wu in person.
"Master uncle must know that I got a mutant bamboo rat in my early years. It is very sensitive to medicinal herbs, especially those that are tens of thousands of years old."
When Master Wu heard about the ten thousand year old medicinal herbs, his heart skipped a beat. He no longer cared about anything else and sent a voice message to Wu Shanlin, "What do you mean?!"
Wu Shanlin looked at Bai Yaoyao beside him calmly.
"Master uncle, this ugly girl generously gave us two hundred-year-old yellow ginsengs when we first met. And since she came to ask for medicine, she must have rare herbs on her. My bamboo rat has been very agitated all the way here. If I am not mistaken, the herbs on her must be ten-thousand-year-old magical herbs!"
"really?!"
"Of course! How dare I deceive my uncle-master?!"
"I know! You did great!"
Wu Zhen changed his previous slight anger, stroked his beard and said with a sage-like demeanor:
"Forget it! Since you are so kind-hearted, I will let you go this time! This will not happen again!"
Then he said to Bai Yaoyao in a friendly manner: "Miss, please wait for a moment. After I have dealt with the matters here, I will come to see you and make medicine for you."
Bai Yaoyao nodded gratefully but sneered in her heart, birds of a feather!
When Wu Shanlin saw Meng Duan staring at him with cold eyes, he felt his hair stand on end and he quickly left.
Wu Zhen sent Bai Yaoyao to wait in the pavilion nearby, and returned to Meng Duan.
"Mr. Meng, you've seen that people come to me every day to ask for medicine. Some are terminally ill, and some are poisoned. I really don't have time to help you research a recipe for a mortal's longevity. You should ask someone else for help!"
Before Meng Duan could say anything, the young man in brocade robe next to him couldn't help himself.
He folded his fan in a flash, "Wu! I invited you to study the recipe of the Pushou Pill out of respect for you! You are so reluctant! Don't you take my Xingchen Palace seriously?!"
Meng Duan's face was as black as ink. He looked at the unmoved Master Wu and sneered, "Do you know that Master Du is the grandson of the Acting Palace Master of Xingchen Palace! He will be the Palace Master of Xingchen Palace in the future! How dare you look down on him like this?!"
Wu Zhen's face suddenly changed. This man had not spoken a word just now, but Meng Duan had been pestering him. He originally thought that he was some bad friend of Meng Duan, but he didn't expect that the real culprit was this ugly man!
And he is actually from the Star Palace!
On the Xuanji Continent, the immortal forces are divided into different levels.
The Xuandan Sect can only be said to be the dominant force in the area around the Xuanling Mountains, but in reality it is not even in the mainstream.
However, the Star Palace was once the leader among all the forces in the immortal sect.
Although the Star Palace has been in turmoil since the passing of the old Palace Master and its power is not as strong as before, it is still one of the three major forces!
Now the Grand Elder of the Xingchen Palace has withdrawn from the world, and the Second Elder Du Yu is in power, taking on the responsibilities of the Palace Master.
This Du guy is actually Du Yu's grandson? !
How could an old man like him who refines medicine possibly offend such a person!
Thinking of this, Wu Zhen quickly forced a smile on his old face.
"Master Du, please don't blame me! I didn't know your identity, and I'm sorry for offending you just now! Please give me the pill! Three days! No! Two days! Two days! I will definitely figure out the formula of the pill and present it to you!"
Du Zhirong was not surprised at all by Wu Zhen's rudeness and respect. He just sneered and threw a brocade box into Wu Zhen's arms, then turned and left...
