Medic Martial Dragon King

Chapter 1569: Chapter 1572: Inquiring About Spiritual Wine (Extra Chapter for ’Jiang Qisha’)

Through the Medicine Saint’s narration, Jiang Chen and the others learned about the events that happened to the Medicine Saint and Fu Ling’er, leaving everyone feeling a mix of emotions.

After his brother became the Valley Master, he gradually managed the Elixir Valley as solid as a steel plate. Later, when his granddaughter was just born, he proposed a plan at her birth banquet. He wanted to promote the development of martial arts by selling elixirs at a low price, which could foster prosperity in the Martial Dao World.

However, this idea faced resistance from many of the old-school members of Elixir Valley. They believed that if too many elixirs spread outside, the status of Elixir Valley would be threatened, and this move was absolutely unacceptable!

After some arguments, the proposal died prematurely, and the former Valley Master faced secret targeting by some of the old-school members for making such a suggestion.

At this time, news spread that the former Valley Master died in an alchemy furnace explosion. The Medicine Saint did not believe it and secretly investigated, discovering that the former Valley Master was imprisoned. When he tried to rescue him, those imprisoning the former Valley Master caught wind of his efforts and pursued him for elimination.

While escaping, the Medicine Saint learned from the former Valley Master that someone intended to take advantage of the internal discord caused by his promotion plan to unite one faction to destroy the other and seize control of Elixir Valley.

After learning this, the Medicine Saint loudly exposed the enemy’s plan, but at that time, the people of Elixir Valley believed the former Valley Master was dead and did not believe the Medicine Saint.

The enemy secretly used the wife and daughter of the former Elixir Valley Master to threaten the Medicine Saint, forcing him to leave Elixir Valley. It was then that he realized that Ling’er’s father’s death might not have been due to an alchemy furnace explosion!

The Medicine Saint tried to find help, but none in Elixir Valley believed him, filling him with despair!

Furthermore, the only family members of the former Valley Master left were his daughter-in-law and granddaughter. With no other choice, the Medicine Saint took Fu Ling’er and her mother away, planning to find a safe place for them before returning to rescue his brother.

However, as soon as they left Elixir Valley, they were pursued. Fu Ling’er’s mother died at the hands of the enemy while fleeing. The ones hunting them were Blood Blade Sect’s Punishment Elders, Xue Jiang and Xue Chen.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen understood why the Medicine Saint was so ruthless towards Xue Jiang and Xue Chen.

”My escape lasted for three months. After three months, I suddenly discovered that people from Elixir Valley also started chasing me, claiming that I killed Linger’s grandfather. That’s when I realized I couldn’t defend myself, and my brother was surely killed by those bastards who then framed me!”

The Medicine Saint’s eyes showed a trace of bitterness: ”I explained and argued with them, but no one believed me. They were convinced I killed my brother, leaving me helpless. I took Ling’er and escaped into hiding. Because of this matter, my mindset could not stabilize, and my cultivation stagnated!!”

Glancing at Jiang Chen, the Medicine Saint smiled gently: ”When I met Young Jiang, I realized that my brother’s vengeance might need him to avenge, so I pinned all my hopes on him and followed him out of the valley.”

Everyone nodded lightly, falling into silence.

”Why would the enemy imprison Ling’er’s grandfather instead of just killing him?” Jiang Chen sorted through what the Medicine Saint said and asked softly.

The Medicine Saint froze for a moment, a flash of inspiration in his mind as he exclaimed, ”Could it be...”

”It should be!”

Jiang Chen nodded lightly: ”The Blood Blade Sect aligned with the three major organizations, we knew this long ago. And the fact that they were laying out plans in Elixir Valley we also knew. Thus, it’s not hard to understand that the Soul Devouring Group controlled the former Valley Master to gain control over Elixir Valley.”

”This, this...makes sense! Makes sense!” The Medicine Saint said excitedly: ”If that’s the case, my brother isn’t dead?”

”He probably isn’t, and he probably isn’t under control yet! If he were dead, capturing Ling’er would be pointless. As I mentioned earlier, it was the information from the three major organizations that brought those people here, none from Elixir Valley came. It’s obviously not Elixir Valley’s intent.”

Jiang Chen nodded again: ”Moreover, it’s very likely that the others in Elixir Valley don’t believe that Ling’er is still alive! And if Ling’er’s grandfather was already under control, it wouldn’t be someone coming to capture Ling’er, but Elixir Valley openly welcoming her back. Thus, he isn’t dead nor controlled!”

”Good! That’s great! Fantastic!”

Completely convinced by Jiang Chen’s deduction, the Medicine Saint excitedly grabbed Jiang Chen’s arm: ”Young Jiang, take advantage of this Grand Pill Competition opportunity and make sure to rescue Brother Fu! I’m entrusting you with this!”

”Elder Yao, don’t worry. I will do my utmost to rescue Grandfather Fu!” Jiang Chen nodded firmly.

”I, I’ll go tell this good news to Ling’er!” Having Jiang Chen’s response, the Medicine Saint stood up to go find Fu Ling’er.

Jiang Chen grabbed the Medicine Saint, raised an eyebrow, and complained: ”Elder Yao, at your age, can’t you be a little more composed? Why tell Ling’er now? Would telling her now do anything besides worrying her? Tell her only after rescuing them, or else!”

”Oh right, I’ll wait until after the rescue to tell her, as a surprise!” The Medicine Saint realized, nodded, and sat back down.

With everything clear, Jiang Chen said a few words and let Elder Ming and the others rest.

Under Jiang Chen’s seemingly unintentional arrangements, only Jiang Chen, Yan Hu, Supreme Long Huang, and a few members of the Flame Dragon Group were left in the living room. Supreme Long Huang and the others looked at Jiang Chen with a hint of surprise.

”Supreme Long Huang, do you have something to say?”

Jiang Chen looked up at Supreme Long Huang and said casually.

Supreme Long Huang said meaningfully: ”How did you know I had something to find you about?”

”With Supreme Hu Sha here, if it’s just because of what happened here, you didn’t have to come unless you had something else. Plus, you were a bit concerned about me seeking revenge, so you decided to come over!” Jiang Chen softly analyzed.

Supreme Long Huang raised his hand and pointed at Jiang Chen, lamenting: ”You, young one, if you keep being this smart, be careful no one wants to be your friend!”

”I don’t need friends!” Jiang Chen shook his head gently, then glanced at Yan Hu with firm eyes: ”I only need brothers!”

The two smiled knowingly at each other, everything understood without words.

”Alright, alright, stop showing off your brotherhood here!”

Supreme Long Huang waved his hand nonchalantly, his expression turned serious, and he said solemnly, ”I came to see if you could show me some Spiritual Wine, or ideally, take me to where your people are getting it!”

Jiang Chen glanced at Elder Qing and the three others, his eyes wary as he looked at Supreme Long Huang: ”What are you planning?”
