1341 Acheron is Here (1/2)

Li Shizhen: God Chen, you're funny. Three-star Divine Medicines are worth a king's ransom. None of us has it.

Chen Xiaobei: Then what should I do? Is there any medication on earth that can be used in its place? I have a lot of herbal medicines in the Infinite Space Ring – what I lack is a formula!

Hua Tuo: This is a new ailment. If we're using the methods of Traditional Chinese Medicine, then we'll need time to do research. We might need a combination of a few hundred herbal medicines, and a very specific concoction to be able to recreate the effects of a Three-star Divine Medicine!

Chen Xiaobei: That's a lot of work. I don't have much time. I'll need some other ideas! Elder Shennong would probably have this medicine, right?

Sun Simiao: Of course, he does. But he's very close to Chanism and is under Shen Gongpao's watchful eyes. He may not help you.

Li Shizhen: Even if he is willing to help you, he would probably slap you with exorbitant demands!

Chen Xiaobei: I don't care. What's more important to me is that brother Xiangyu can be saved. Even if Shennong decides to take advantage of me! I will have to let him do it!

Hua Tuo: Oh, God Chen! You really are so benevolent, and I truly admire you for that!

Li Shizhen: Xiangyu is lucky to have brother like you!

Sun Simiao: Heaven helps those who are worthy. I believe the gods will bless Chen Xiaobei and Xiangyu.

Chen Xiaobei's phone rang.

'Ding'

'Master Acheron sent you a message'

”Wow! Master Acheron! He used to avoid me all the time, why is he contacting me out of the blue?

Chen Xiaobei quickly bid farewell to the three and clicked into the private chat with Acheron.

Acheron: I am sure that God Chen is an intelligent man. Now why would he feed the lamb to the tiger?

Chen Xiaobei: It's been a long while, Master Acheron! What do you mean anyway?

Acheron: Chanism is the tiger, and your merit points would be the fattened lamb. Isn't buying the medicine from Shennong akin to feeding the lamb to the tiger?

Chen Xiaobei: You were spying in the chat group again huh! ????

Acheron: How is that spying? It's an open group. I'm recuperating in the Blood Sea, and I was bored so I just checked out the group chat. That's very normal isn't it?

Chen Xiaobei: Alright. Let's not talk about that then. Since you saw our conversation, and since you contacted me privately, please speak your mind!

Acheron: God Chen really is a straightforward person. Fine, then. I'll just tell you. I have a medicine that could cure Xiangyu's illness. If you want it, I'll send it to you right away! Free of charge!

Chen Xiaobei: Free of charge? There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world!

Acheron: Aren't Hundred Ghost Parade painting and Asura Divine Mirror free lunches? How did it taste?

Chen Xiaobei: It was due to blind luck that I got the Red Envelope. It's not considered free!

Acheron: Was it really pure luck?

Chen Xiaobei: Wasn't it?

Acheron: That was my first time participating in the Red Envelope Snatching Session, and I only gave out two envelopes. Why was it that out of all the thousands of people, you, God Chen, received both?

Chen Xiaobei: That…???? Can you control the Red Envelopes so that they reach a specific person?

Acheron: No, no, no. I don't have that kind of authority.

Chen Xiaobei: Then how did you do it? And you could exit the group without anyone noticing! You even changed the description of the item in the system!

Acheron: The Tree Realms Intranet hasn't even been set up for year. Considering it is so new, there are still some loopholes that most people haven't discovered. Only a person as bored as me can find it. That's how I did everything you said. Of course, I didn't dare use it at my whim. If it was not for all the Sanqing Saints being at the Ancestral Lord's place, I would have been caught!

Chen Xiaobei: You really know how to take advantage of loopholes don't you...
