704: Chapter 704 The Medicine Clan's Pharmacopoeia, Crimson Phoenix Stone

Hun Tiandi was completely unaware of everything that happened in the Lingxiao Heavenly Court, and even if he knew, he would not care.

Several months later, Hun Tiandi, Mr. Corpse Soul, Liu Ling, and Wang Ku finally arrived in the Southern Region of the Central Plains.

The Medicine Clan was located in the extreme south of the Central Plains, hidden within the Shennong Mountain Range.

In some respects, it was far from the Central Plains, belonging to the extreme south of the Southern Region, quite a long distance away.

Most of the Shennong Mountain Range belonged to a wild and desolate area, where poisonous insects ran rampant, and it was a paradise for many Vicious Beasts that were rare in the Central Plains.

Because the Medicine Clan was located here, this area was very lively, and the most famous things were the various precious medicinal herbs.

Some high-Rank Alchemists from the Central Plains traveled thousands of miles to this place to search for the Heaven And Earth Treasure and precious medicinal herbs they needed to refine Medicinal Pills.

The Shennong Mountain Range was bustling with activity.

"Your Majesty, the Medicine Clan's reputation is not as great as other ancient clans, but almost no one dares to provoke them because the Medicinal Pills produced by the Medicine Clan are sought after by many experts on the continent!"

Liu Ling spoke slowly, appearing to know a lot about the Medicine Clan.

"Not bad. Liu Ling, be prepared for this trip to the Medicine Clan! You will need to show your skills," Hun Tiandi said unhurriedly.

"Oh?"

"Do you know about the Medicine Clan's Medicine Ceremony?" Hun Tiandi asked with a faint smile.

"I do not!" Liu Ling shook his head.

The Medicine Clan's Medicine Ceremony was the most important event within the Medicine Clan; the date it was held was not fixed, and various things could happen along the way.

The Medicine Ceremony was similar to the Pill Gathering held by the Pill Tower, and was even more authoritative than the Pill Gathering.

The Medicine Ceremony was the top-level Alchemist Convention on the Fighting Qi Continent.

The final winner would let people know: "Who is the number one Alchemist on the continent today."

"What? The number one Alchemist in the world?" Upon hearing this, Liu Ling's eyes burst with the brightest sparks; this was the highest honor for an Alchemist.

Being a high-Rank seven Alchemist, how could he not be tempted?

"Alchemist Liu Ling, this is your chance to shine. Once you win in the end, you will be the number one Alchemist of the current age, and you will definitely be recorded in the history of the Fighting Qi Continent!"

Mr. Corpse Soul said indifferently.

Hu!

"It won't be that easy. I suppose that those who can participate in an Alchemist Convention of this Rank must be the best of the best!"

Liu Ling let out a breath, his expression solemn.

Indeed, those who could participate in the Medicine Ceremony, besides people from the Medicine Clan itself, included some from the outside world who were either in the past or present.

Those who had great fame on the Central Plains continent, or Grandmasters with extremely high and exquisite alchemy skills, could also be invited.

However, the number of outsiders the Medicine Clan could invite was very small.

After all, Alchemists who could enter their Dharma Eye were rare on the continent.

For the title of the number one Alchemist on the continent, the Medicine Ceremony had reached a new height.

The four of them, led by Hun Tiandi, were not in a hurry to travel; there was still one month left until the Medicine Ceremony time mentioned by Yao Ling.

They arrived at the Shennong Mountain Range in a few days.

"Such dense energy; this Medicine Clan certainly knows how to enjoy life..." Wang Ku said indifferently, his deep gaze fixed on the dense fog in the distance.

Above the Shennong Mountain Range, mist was churning and rolling, formed by the gathering of heaven and earth energy.

If one were to Cultivate here, the speed would be much faster than in other places.

In the distance, deep in the mountains, a giant stone gate hundreds of feet tall stood before them, exuding an aura of vicissitudes and antiquity.

Inside the stone gate was a twisted space, which was the entrance to the Medicine Clan.

At this moment, however, no one was entering. Instead, on a flat and wide platform beneath the Shennong Mountain Range, numerous figures were moving about.

With one month left until the Medicine Ceremony, these figures were all dressed in Alchemist robes.

Some were setting up stalls to sell or exchange for the precious medicinal herbs they needed, while others were chatting in front of stalls to buy what they needed.

"Let's go. Let's go and see if we can encounter any rare treasures..."

Hun Tiandi stood with his hands behind his back, revealed a smile, and merged into the crowd.

Mr. Corpse Soul, Liu Ling, and Wang Ku followed. Figures flew by from time to time, their gazes intentionally or unintentionally falling on Hun Tiandi and his group.

They took a glance and withdrew their gaze.

These people also knew that those who could come to the Medicine Clan to participate in the Medicine Ceremony were no mediocre people, unless they were people with no eyes.

The four of them did not care at all, scanning in front of the stalls to find good things they had their eyes on.

On the stalls were stone platforms, on which some scrolls, jade bottles, weapons, Demonic Beast cores, and the like were floating.

They were emitting a faint light that spread out.

Obviously, the things that could be taken out were not ordinary items. Some figures sat cross-legged behind the stone platforms.

Their auras were long and fierce; clearly, they were all tough characters.

"Crane Dance Seal, Earth Rank high-level Dou Technique..."

"Mad Axe Breaking Heaven, Earth Rank high-level weapon..."

"Kidney Nourishing Recovery Pill, Rank seven high-level Medicinal Pill..."

"Iron Tree Flower Dew..."

As everyone scanned, everything that came into view was good stuff, all falling into Hun Tiandi's eyes. The rarity of some Heaven And Earth Treasure also tempted him.

Liu Ling, who was behind him, was even more so, his eyes shining.

"Purple Cloud Dragon Flower, the Medicinal Pill refined from it can attract seven-colored Pill Lightning..." Liu Ling's gaze swept over, and he was shocked in his heart as he looked at the medicinal herb emitting astonishing energy.

To think there were such good things here; if placed in the Central Plains, one could only imagine how much of a stir it would cause.

Nearly a thousand meters of stalls made people lost in them.

Even the knowledgeable Liu Ling was not satisfied, the good things on this street made his heart beat.

Almost dozens of kinds.

After a simple conversation, he could only give up the exchange. The things these guys needed were by no means inferior to the things they were selling.

It was very difficult to take advantage of them.

Just as they were about to leave, suddenly, Mr. Corpse Soul's footsteps paused, his gaze drifting intentionally or unintentionally towards a black stone on a stall.

The mysterious stone was crimson, the size of a fist, and on its surface was an illusory carving of a bird, wings spread in flight, its feathers lifelike.

Faintly, it emitted a trace of extremely special energy that permeated out.

"Crimson stone?" Hun Tiandi looked in the direction of Mr. Corpse Soul's gaze. Mr. Corpse Soul sent a voice transmission telling him to buy it, and he was surprised in his heart.

But he sensed a trace of hidden energy within it.

Mr. Corpse Soul was shocked in his heart. How could this stone appear here? This mysterious stone had some connection with the legendary Ancient Heavenly Phoenix.

On the Fighting Qi Continent, the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix was the Supreme Demonic Beast of the ancient times, ranked alongside the Void Ancient Dragon as the overlord of the sky.

It was the ancestor of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan and had long since gone extinct.

Now, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan on the continent were all descendants of the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix, and their Bloodline was far inferior to their ancestor.

Wang Ku, who was on the side, seemed to have noticed something unusual as well, but he was a bit uncertain.

In front of the stone platform sat an old woman with an aged face, sitting cross-legged and silent.

"I wonder, how can I trade for this crimson stone?"

Hun Tiandi said with a smile.

The old woman heard this and slowly opened her eyes, saying indifferently: "Three Eighth Grade Pills with three-colored Pill Lightning."

"Hmm? Eighth Grade Pills seem to exceed the value of the crimson stone?" Hun Tiandi picked up the crimson stone and inspected it carefully. For a moment, he could not see what was magical about this crimson stone.

But since Mr. Corpse Soul reminded him to buy it, there must be a reason.

He came from the Major Thousand Worlds and was knowledgeable.

Liu Ling frowned but did not speak, standing to the side.

"If you think it's expensive, put it down!" The old woman's hoarse voice was extremely indifferent, looking like she didn't care whether it was traded or not.

Hun Tiandi was not angry; this little episode could not affect him.

He was not in a hurry to exchange. He put down the crimson stone and instead looked left and right at the old woman's stall.

Finally, after lingering for half an hour with the old woman, when she began to feel impatient.

Hun Tiandi took out a jade bottle, threw it to the old woman, grabbed the crimson stone at the same time, and then quickly left.

"Hmm?"

The old woman looked at Hun Tiandi, who had changed his face so quickly, and was stunned. Her eyes were suspicious and uncertain, and she grabbed the jade bottle to inspect it.

She looked up and frowned at the direction of his departure, a bad premonition arising in her heart.

"It can't be, right? I've tried that crimson stone; burning, frying, dripping blood... nothing could damage it in the slightest."

"Hmph, my judgment won't be wrong..."

The old woman was a bit puzzled, but no one answered.

Hun Tiandi left with the crimson stone, found a quiet place, stopped, and looked at the crimson stone, asking in confusion.

"What kind of stone is this?"

"Your Majesty, if I am not mistaken, this should be a Red Phoenix Stone!" Mr. Corpse Soul said with a smile.

"Red Phoenix Stone? What is this thing?"
