Chapter 894 - State of Ancient Medicine (1/2)

One of Hu Xiao’s eye lids quivered while he struggled to grapple with reality. Who could force the mighty Lord Beihan Zhao Juexian to his knees? He would have to be listed on the Longevity Roll or he was a Heavenly Lord living in solitude.

The threat was felt by all members of the Hu family.

Some onlookers had recognized Chen Fan, so they shouted.

“That man is Perfected Cultivator Azure Wood!”

“Indeed! All mighty Perfected Cultivator Azure Wood has come all the way from the Savage Wastes. Everyone along his way told the story of the mysterious rider and the black carriage performing countless miracles.”

“I didn’t expect to meet an Alchemy Grand Master.”

Chen Fan had made a name for himself along his way there. By then, everyone was familiar with his face.

“Perfected Cultivator Azure Wood?”

Hu Xiao furrowed his brow.

He had been living in the Heavenly Region for too long, so he had never heard of the name. After examining Chen Fan and found out that he was only at the Golden Core’s early-stage, he relaxed a bit and smirked.

“I don’t care what color you are, you have trespassed my territory and offended the Violet Moon Fairy. You need to pay with your life.”

As soon as he said that, he readied himself for battle.

Hundreds of thousands of cultivators formed a deadly Battle Formation completed with a snarling Four Tailed Heavenly Fox that threatened to devour the enemy’s Spirit Essence. However, Chen Fan simply linked his hands behind his back and watched their preparation for war.

Suddenly, the gorgeous Violet Moon Fairy spoke out, “Is he Master Azure Wood? I have heard of his marvelous alchemy skills.”

Her words suddenly silenced the Hu Family. Hu Xiao put on a smile and said:”My Goddess, do you know him?”

“Perfected Cultivator Azure Wood has incredible skills in Alchemy. He is considered the most talented Alchemist in all seventeen regions of the Northern Barren Land. It’s my honor to have met you on my trip to the North.”

Soft lights flowed around Violet Moon Fairy as she stood up and bowed slightly to Chen Fan. Her body’s delightful curves were accentuated by a thin and soft waist.

“He is a Grand Alchemist?”

Hu Xiao was taken aback as he examined Chen Fan again in confusion. Grand Alchemists have high standings in society due to their ability of making highly sought after Treasure Pills. However, Hu Xiao found it hard to reconcile Chen Fan’s appearance with a skillful Alchemist. Neither could he figure out why Zhao Juexian would succumb to an alchemist of an early-stage Golden Core.

“Perfected Cultivator Azure Wood has fought and won battles against three other Grand Alchemists: Master Huang, Monk Mu and Perfected Cultivator Jiudan. He was crowned the most powerful Alchemist of the seventeen regions,” Violet Moon Fairy put in.

The revelation made Hu Xiao’s face change colors.

Those three Grand Alchemists were powerful forces in their own right. They were the only three alchemists who were able to create superior-grade treasure pills outside of the heavenly region.

If Chen Fan was able to bring those three to heel, he had to possess unbelievable alchemy skills that were enough to subjugate Lord Beihan.

“Are you done talking? Move, I need to pass,” Chen Fan said indifferently.

Violet Moon Fairy’s smile curdled for a brief moment before she squeezed it back onto her face. Hu Xiao knew what was going through her mind, so he also piled smiles on his face and said, “I am sorry for the misunderstanding, Master Azure Wood, we didn’t know that it was you.”

“Misunderstanding? I think not. Who gave the Hu family the right to claim the common land for themselves? And who gave your servants the audacity to attack my carriage?”

Chen Fan sneered.

Hu Xiao pulled a hard face and said, “We will punish the insolent culprit severely.”

Then he turned around and ordered, “Bring those two imbeciles here.”

Zhang Baiye flew away, a streak of flame trailing behind him. When he returned, he had two servants clutched tightly under his arms. He threw the two servants before Hu Xiao. They were the two who had attacked Chen Fan.

“Second Young Master, they were the ones who attacked me.”

The impudent young servant melted before Hu Xiao, dropping to his knees and accusing Chen Fan. However, the older servant noticed that something was amiss.

“I ordered you to talk to them about going through another route, not to fight them! How dare you misinterpret my orders and attack innocent travellers?”

Hu Xiao put on a serious face as a fearsome light glinted in his eyes.

The young man was disheveled and speechless. The old servant’s face also turned pale.

“You have disgraced the Hu family name, you shall die!”
