With an excited smile on his face, Zhang Jinglin poured the entire compartment of medicine into the medicinal furnace. “1 have been studying the Heavenly Carnelian Bead for twenty years. Now that it’s already a medicine, I have to concoct the true medicine. These two-hundred-fifty grams of Snow Lake Flower were hidden in the Northern Liang Emperor’s private treasury. It was reserved for use for Heavenly Carnelian Beads. If it were wasted elsewhere, it would be a waste of the heavens’ gift…”

“Snow Lake Flower?”

“Two hundred and fifty grams?!”

Hearing this, everyone, including Ye Jingtang, gasped.

Because Ye Jingtang was looking for a substitute for the Snow Lake Flower, he had asked about the situation of the Snow Lake Flower before he left the capital. He learned that once the Snow Lake Flower bloomed, the output was very small. It had to last the two dynasties 60 years, and it wasn’t even enough for the emperors.

When Great Wei was founded, the founding emperor had obtained 500 grams. Now, there was only 15 grams left. It was only enough to concoct two medicines. The empress was so sick, but she still couldn’t bear to use it.

But this time, Zhang Jinglin had poured down 250 grams at once. It could no longer be described as a waste of the heavens’ gift. It was completely crazy.

Bai Siming had been supporting Zhang Jinglin for nearly three years, but this was the first time he knew that there had been so much Snow Lake Flower hidden under Zhang Jinglin’s medicine box. He said angrily, “Zhang Jinglin, didn’t you say that a Heavenly Carnelian Bead only costs five grams of Snow Lake Flower? Why…”

After Zhang Jinglin poured the Snow Lake Flower into the medicinal furnace, he felt relieved and slowly looked at the fire. “It’s a divine medicine that can allow people to be reborn, transcend mortality, and become a Sage. If it were merely five grams of Snow Lake Flower, the tribes of the Western Sea could have produced dozens of Martial Chiefs to sweep through the north and south dynasties. The Heavenly Carnelian Bead is a supreme treasure. To be able to make two or three in sixty years is already using the power of an entire country. How can there be so many in the world?”

“Y-you dared to deceive His Highness?!”

“I stole the Snow Lake Flower and concocted the medicine, but I didn’t take it just to reproduce this thing. It’s a Heavenly Carnelian Bead that the Northern Liang imperial family can’t get. How can you say that I deceived you? After Snow Lake Flower is added to the medicine, it only takes fifteen minutes to condense the bead. At that time, whoever takes it will be the next Feng Guancheng. But it’s best not to make a move now. This is your only chance in this life. Any disturbance might spoil the fire of this furnace of medicine. At that time, no one will benefit.”

Everyone fell silent when they heard this.

Although what Zhang Jinglin said about being the next Feng Guancheng was a little ridiculous, 250 grams of Snow Lake Flower was already in the furnace. Even if it were an aphrodisiac, it would probably be able to make someone satisfy a hundred women at night. For this reason, it was really not easy to take action recklessly.

The Northern Liang Thief Sage knew that this ‘Heavenly Carnelian Bead’ was most likely real, but no one could use the old version of the Heavenly Carnelian Bead. She had no intention of snatching it. She thought for a moment and said, “I’m also an apothecary. I’m not seeking to be reborn. I’m only interested in the formula. You’ve already concocted the Heavenly Carnelian Bead. Can you give me the remnant formula obtained from the Northern Liang Imperial Palace? I’ll retreat after obtaining it and won’t participate in the competition.”

Hearing this, Zhang Jinglin was quite surprised, but he wasn’t stingy. He rummaged through his medicine box and took out a roll of parchment with traces of burning. Then he took out a brush and ink, wrote a formula, and asked a guard to bring them over. “I have already completed the formula, so I’ll give it to you too. If you can gather the medicinal herbs to use, don’t forget that I, Zhang Jinglin, taught you this.”

“Thanks.” After the Thief Sage received the parchment and the formula, she nodded in thanks and quickly retreated. The others naturally didn’t stop her. After all, although this formula was precious, it wasn’t practical. Even if they knew it, no one could gather a second furnace of medicinal herbs.

Ye Jingtang had already used the ‘internal energy boost pill’, and his body had already been tempered. He didn’t have much need for this item. There were many experts in the current situation. The risk of him fighting for the treasure was too high. Seeing that someone had taken the formula and left early, he said, “Everyone present is a formidable character in Jianghu. Your foundations are much deeper than mine. I won’t participate in the competition. Doctor Zhang, can you give me a copy of the formula for the Snow Lake Powder? I will leave after I get it.”

Zhang Jinglin’s purpose in his life was to challenge the principles of medicine and do things that others couldn’t do. He didn’t care about a few medicine formulas at all. Hearing what Ye Jingtang said, he directly took a small book from his medicine box. “Young Hero Ye, you tested the Earthly Camel Bead and were safe and sound. This has resolved the knot in my heart. I’ll give you this medicine book. The Snow Lake Powder isn’t the only good thing inside. In the future, if the formulas flow into the market, remember to use my name, Zhang Jinglin.”

The Thief Sage, who had just retreated not far away, stopped in her tracks and sized Ye Jingtang up when she heard that he had tested the medicine and was safe and sound.

Because Ye Jingtang was covering himself in black, making her unable to see his appearance, she didn’t care too much about it. She only thought that something had gone wrong with the fake medicine, so it didn’t kill ‘Ye Silang’.

After Zhang Jinglin finished speaking, he asked a guard to deliver the medicine book.

Ye Jingtang wanted to take the medicine book and leave, leaving Jun Mountain Terrace and the Prince of Wu to fight.

But Bai Siming wasn’t stupid. He raised his hand to stop the guard and stared at Ye Jingtang. “Young Master Ye, I don’t think I’ve seen you before, but for some reason, I keep feeling that I’ve seen you before. Also, Young Master Ye, can you explain why you attracted the Imperial Courth’s troops here?”

Ye Jingtang had used different identities to appear in front of Bai Siming three times in a row. He knew his secret would be exposed if he stayed, so he said calmly, “Give me the formula, and 1’11 leave now. If you don’t give it to me, you’ll have another opponent to fight later. Why do you have to do this?”

Bai Siming felt that Ye Silang’s identity was very special and that he wouldn’t leave even if he gave it to him. After some consideration, he turned around and said, “Brother Yao, Brother Xuanyuan, we only want to survive. The Heavenly Carnelian Bead in the furnace belongs to Jun Mountain Terrace. How about we join forces to kill this kid first?”

Xuanyuan Hongzhi had already formed enmity with Ye Silang at the Zhou residence. This was exactly what he wanted, so he immediately wanted to go forward..
