Berserk God of War

Chapter 431: Chapter 431: Medicine Ready, No One to Refine

Thinking of this, Baili Que stared intently at Sikong Jing and asked, ”Sikong Jing, the return journey will take several days, can you give me the Black Refining Dark Hook Eighteen Claws now?”

Without hesitation, Sikong Jing looked up and said, ”Alright, I will start inscribing it now.”

...

Half a day later, Shui Yuyin, accompanied by a group of disciples from the Heavenly Dao Palace, returned to the Long Night Heavenly Dao Palace with dirt-smudged faces.

They also met with the Palace Master of the Heavenly Dao Palace.

Unwilling to accept this, Shui Yuyin asked, ”Palace Master, why not send someone after Sikong Jing?”

The Palace Master of the Long Night Heavenly Dao Palace was a white-bearded elder with a respectable appearance, named Chang Wang.

He replied expressionlessly with a chilling voice, ”Because Elder Ma and He Jia are in the hands of the Holy Dragon Palace, if this Xuanhe Realm Peak Sikong Jing dies, the Holy Dragon Palace will certainly execute them.”

Everything was as Sikong Jing had predicted; the Heavenly Dao Palace did not dare to send anyone after him.

Trembling upon hearing this, Shui Yuyin said in a lowered voice, ”But Palace Master, are we just going to let this matter go?”

Clutching her face, Shui Yuyin felt the pain both on her visage and in her heart.

Palace Master Chang Wang still showed no expression, while the surrounding elders and senior members of the Heavenly Dao Palace looked stern and angry.

A few breaths later, Chang Wang said coldly, ”Of course we can’t let it go.”

”In less than a month, Xingluo Palace and Holy Dragon Palace will engage in a life-or-death battle involving a hundred disciples, the loser must leave Long Night Imperial City and seek a new palace ground. I am going to make sure Holy Dragon Palace loses comprehensively.”

”When the time comes, I also plan to share Qilong Mountain with Xingluo Palace.”

At these words, everyone from the Long Night Heavenly Dao Palace was greatly invigorated.

They had already received the news about the life-or-death battle between Xingluo Palace and Holy Dragon Palace and were originally watching from the sidelines, but now, due to Sikong Jing’s actions in Wentian City, which humiliated the disciples of Heavenly Dao Palace, the Palace Master decided to intervene.

He wanted Holy Dragon Palace to lose and to take at least half of Qilong Mountain, which likely meant establishing a palace or institution within the Long Night Imperial City.

”Palace Master, what should we do?”

An elder stepped forward and asked, ”With this terrifying Xuanhe Realm Peak disciple, Xingluo Palace is likely to lose, right?”

At this, everyone turned their gaze to Chang Wang.

With a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, Chang Wang replied, ”It’s simple, sell this information about the Xuanhe Realm Peak disciple to Xingluo Palace. They will naturally know what to do, and the price will be half of Qilong Mountain.”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone from the Heavenly Dao Palace burst into laughter, their smiles dark and triumphant.

As long as Xingluo Palace knew about the emergence of a fearsome disciple from Holy Dragon Palace, they would definitely not sit idly by and would seek help from the Xingluo General Academy or find other ways to improve the quality of their disciples...

”This is the consequence of offending our Heavenly Dao Palace,” said Chang Wang with a chilling tone. Then he set off for the Long Night Imperial City’s Xingluo Palace to personally negotiate with Yu Wenxiong.

...

A few days later, Sikong Jing and his two companions safely returned to the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace and met with Qin Heng.

Upon learning of what Sikong Jing had done in Wentian City, Qin Heng’s mouth fell open in shock, followed by a series of bitter smiles.

”Sikong Jing, this may have felt satisfying, but it brings endless troubles!”

”The Palace Master of the Long Night Heavenly Dao Palace is called Chang Wang, and he is very scheming.”

”He might not kill you, but he will definitely not let this slide. He will certainly inform Xingluo Palace of your combat prowess, and then your element of surprise will be lost.”

He had intended to use Sikong Jing as a trump card to crush Xingluo Palace outright.

Now, with Sikong Jing causing such a commotion in Wentian City, he has directly exposed his strength. Furthermore, the Xingluo Palace harbors a deep hatred for Sikong Jing and will certainly try everything to kill him.

At this point, Qin Heng added, ”I’m afraid the Long Night Star Palace might request the involvement of students from the Main Academy. When that time comes, if they say those are their students, it will be difficult for us to refute it...”

Qin Heng rubbed his aching forehead, his expression one of worry and frustration.

At that moment, Lang Yisuo asked, ”Vice Palace Master, if they can ask for the Main Academy’s students to participate, why can’t we?”

With a bitter smile, Qin Heng replied helplessly, ”That’s exactly the problem.”

”Our Palace Master Shen has too much personality and has always had a poor relationship with the Holy Dragon General Academy. I’m afraid it’s unlikely we can get anyone.”

Lang Yisuo and Qin Lao, also present, looked at each other. Their palace master was really a bit of a liability.

Without any reason, Palace Master Shen would run off to challenge the dreadful wastelands, nearly resulting in Qin Heng’s death at the hands of Lei Hongteng, and now she even had a bad relationship with the Main Academy. This was truly dooming their students.

At that time, Qin Lao hesitated before saying, ”Father, the General Academy can’t just watch us lose, can they? It wouldn’t look good for them, especially if we lose and have to give up Qilong Mountain. They won’t be able to bear it.”

In response, Qin Heng furrowed his brows deeply and eventually said, ”Enough, I will contact the General Academy now to try. We must pressure the Xingluo Palace to prevent them from borrowing anyone, or else we will surrender.”

Having said that, he immediately sent a letter to the Holy Dragon General Academy and then waited for a reply.

Meanwhile, Sikong Jing suddenly stepped forward.

”Vice Palace Master Qin, the reason I need the Thousand Cold Red Lotus flower core is to treat the meridian damage suffered by my wife.”

”The medicine is now prepared. Do you have any skilled pharmacists you could recommend?”

Sikong Jing wasn’t too concerned about the life-and-death battle between the two palaces.

With the Bone Beast Blood and the Thousand Cold Red Lotus flower core already in hand, plus the medicines previously stolen from Pharmacist Yao Changgeng of the Xingluo Palace Alchemy Institute, the ingredients needed for the treatment of Su Yuexi’s meridian condition were all accounted for.

But the problem was that it still needed to be refined.

Having been in the Long Night Empire for less than four months, Sikong Jing didn’t know any powerful pharmacists.

Therefore, he had to seek Qin Heng’s recommendation.

After hearing Sikong Jing’s explanation, Qin Heng’s frown deepened as he said in a low tone, ”Although Pharmacist Yao Changgeng has terrible morals, he is the number one pharmacist in the Long Night Empire, and nobody within the empire can refine his prescriptions.”

At this, Sikong Jing was taken aback.

He had finally gathered all the necessary medicines, but now he found no one to refine them... It was only by using the coercion of the Golden Divine Dragon that he had forced Pharmacist Yao to hand over the prescriptions last time, but now it was impossible for him to enter the Xingluo Palace again.

Thinking this, Sikong Jing asked further, ”What about the East Plain Northern Land? Is there anyone there who can do the refining?”

Qin Heng replied with a wry smile, ”There are no more than three people in the East Plain Northern Land who can do the refining. Two of them are with the Xingluo General Academy, and the one remaining is probably not negotiable, since he is the State Preceptor of the War Soul Dynasty, the sworn enemy of the Long Night Empire.”

Sikong Jing’s lips couldn’t help but twitch. There was obviously no hope with the two from the Xingluo General Academy.

As for the War Soul Dynasty, of course he knew about it.

In perennial warfare with the Long Night Empire, with never-ending deadly battles between the two, how could the enemy’s State Preceptor possibly agree to refine medicine for Sikong Jing?

Sighing helplessly, it seemed he still had to start with Pharmacist Yao Changgeng.

Following that, the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace went into preparation for battle. With about twenty days left before the fight with the Xingluo Palace, Qin Heng selected a hundred students for intensive cultivation.

Meanwhile, Ma Daoming and He Jia were not released but instead held, waiting for negotiations with the Heavenly Dao Palace...

Sikong Jing, for the time being, set the issue of the elixir aside and continued to stay in the Demon Dragon Valley to comprehend the meridian flow of the Demon Dragon.

Five days later, he suddenly remembered something, he still had three mountain paths to challenge.

Therefore, he left the Demon Dragon Valley and arrived at the fifth mountain path, that is, the Drunk Dragon Mountain Road.
