“Master Sage, these people are here to ask for your help.”

Old Li bowed and then announced respectfully.

The people who came to them were wearing black gym outfits. Although they lived a hermit life, they were very much connected with the modern way of life. Therefore, their clothes were not the traditional styles that people would expect a “Master Sage” would be wearing.

The leader of the pack was a young man. His face was hard and proud. He snorted. “Haven’t I told you that the Valley is closed off for the time being? Why did you bring them here?”

“Um… um… Old Li was at a loss for words. He wished that he could tell the sage how generous these guests were, but thought better of it.”

“Fine, I will let it slide.” The young man knew Old Li well and guessed the answer to his question by himself. He turned his head to scan the visitors. His gaze paused for only a brief second when it pa.s.sed Zhou Jin Yi and the giant frame beside him.

Despite Tong Shan’s huge size, the young man didn’t take him too seriously, thinking he would just be a big target. Zhou Jin Yi’s face was still concealed behind the bill of her hat, and therefore, the young man only thought the girl was slightly familiar but didn’t recognize her as one of the sect members.

“You wish to ask for a cure?” The young man asked unenthusiastically.

“Yes, Master Sage. I am Zhu Yuntao from the Zhu family of Zhong Hai. This is my sister. Over there, that is Mr. Chen and Mis. Zhou. “Zhu Yuntao quickly gathered himself and introduced everyone.

“I am not a Master Sage. I am just a doorman. You can call me Meng Tian.”

Despite Meng Tian’s words, his voice was laced with pride and contempt.

Zhu Yuntao didn’t believe him. He had watched as Meng Tian hopped off the five meters tall wall unharmed. Plus, even if he really was just the doorman, Zhu Yuntao would have to pa.s.s him first in order to get into the Sect anyways.

“You are too humble, Master Sage.” Zhu Yuntao came closer to him with a smile and then produced a bank card which he shoved surrept.i.tiously to Meng Tian’s hand. There was a note that consisted of two lines of numbers on the bank card; the first line was the pa.s.sword, and the second was the number of cash available in the account. The second line was a six-figure number.

Meng Tian accepted the card expressionlessly.

It’s the elders and alchemists who really didn’t care for money; he was just a sect-servents, and one day he would be released from his service and live a normal life. Money could be a very useful thing for him.

Seeing Meng Tian had accepted the money, Zhu Yuntao felt a weight was off his mind.

A little smile also broke over Meng Tian’s face.

“You have come at a bad time. The Elders and Alchemists were in a long meeting for a few days, discussing some important matters. Therefore, I doubt they would have time to help you.”

“OH? What matter could have disturbed the peace of the elders?” Zhu Yuntao asked curiously.

Meng Tian smiled and kept his silence.

Chen Fan wagered that they were moaning for Elder Qi’s death and trying to grasp the repercussions. A Dao-Reaching Level master was killed and their disciple Zhou Jin Yi was still missing. The elders of the sect must be shocked by the series of blows.

However, the sect members wouldn’t mention these things easily to any outsiders.

“Fine, I will take you guys in and let you settle in first. You will have to wait for the elders and the alchemists’ decisions.” Meng Tian hesitated for a second and then said while gritting his teeth.

Zhu Yuntao was elated, and so he pressed another bank card into the doorman’s hand.

Meng Tian accepted the second card with a nod. He reminded everyone. “Be quiet when you are in there and speak carefully while talking to a Alchemists. Otherwise, they will throw you out.”

“Of course, of course!” Zhu Yuntao and his companions nodded.

The Medicine G.o.d Valley Sect’s entrance was sealed off by a large stone wall, blocking the view of the sect from outsiders.

Once they pa.s.sed the threshold, they found out that the valley was huge inside. It was as big as ten football fields, and it was sprawling with buildings. Many of them were two to three-story houses that looked like built a hundred years ago.

Unlike Chen Fan’s imagination of this place, there were many ordinary people living inside the valley. Chen Fan wagered that they were the alchemists and the elder’s families or friends. The population must have grown naturally over the centuries they had stayed in the valley.

At the very center of the valley was a large temple-like structure that was chiseled into the side of the mountain. The temple was mammoth in size and nearly covered the entire cliff.

“That is the Temple of the Medicine G.o.d. That’s where the Sect Master lives. The elders and alchemists also meet there to discuss important matters. The area down here is where everyone else lives.”

“I wonder if the Sect Master could help me?” Zhu Yuntao asked under his breath.

“Hehe. Sect Master is a powerful man. You can think of him as a Celestial Immortal. You would be lucky if you could have one of the elders lend you a hand.” Meng Tian smirked.

Suddenly, a group of people rounded a corner and appeared at the other end the road. The leader of the pack was a somber-looking middle-aged man. Everyone moved away to the shoulder of the road to make way for them. Many lowered their heads submissively while the middle-aged man pa.s.sed them.

Meng Tian hurried to the middle-aged man with a smile.

“Alchemists Hu, these people are here looking for cures.”

Within the valley, the Sect Master was at the top of the food chain, and below him were sect elders and then the so-called alchemists. These were ordinary people or spellcasters who were skilled in brewing elixirs. Their skills had made them even more respectable than Dao-Reaching Level Martial Artists.

Alchemist Hu was in charge of the greeting and reception of guests.

“Oh?” Alchemists Hu furrowed his brows. “Haven’t you received the order? Why did you bring them in?”

“Um…” The young man smiled awkwardly.

“Humph!” Alchemists Hu knew the door men’s habit for collecting bank cards, so he snorted at Meng Tian but let the matter slide. He turned toward Zhu Yuntao and said:

“Gentlemen, the valley is off limits while the elders and alchemists discuss important issues. I wonder if you are willing to stay here for a few days and wait until this is all over?”

So saying, he pointed toward a group of people behind them.

“They are here looking for cures as well, and they have to stay here for a few more days.”
