Following this, Yun Fan and Fu Feng left Jinling.
As for Ye Lingbei, he was busy with his seclusion, so he didn't go. However, even if he had gone, it would have been in vain.
After all, even an inner elder like Fu Feng could only bring one person to Medicine King Valley.
Two days later, the two arrived at Medicine King Valley.
Upon reaching the entrance, Yun Fan discovered that the place was guarded by experts, and not just one.
In his eyes, an expert had to be at least at the half-step Innate realm or above.
He could clearly sense the number of their opponents: three half-step Innate experts and one Innate master.
Such a lineup could be considered extravagant.
However, secluded sects had always been powerful, so having so many guards was quite normal.
Subsequently, four figures appeared. After confirming Fu Feng's token, they granted passage, but they cast a deep sense of hostility towards Yun Fan.
After all, Yun Fan was an outsider.
Fortunately, Fu Feng stepped forward to mediate, "He is my friend. He is here to visit Medicine King Valley. Four envoys, there is no need to worry!"
"Since he is your guest, please keep him in check. Medicine King Valley will not be responsible if anything happens!" the leading figure said coldly.
"That is natural!"
With Fu Feng's guarantee, the four did not make things difficult for Yun Fan. Su Dan Novel Network
After entering Medicine King Valley, Fu Feng said to Yun Fan, "Kid, these four are the top experts of our Medicine King Valley. Fortunately, you didn't show any killing intent earlier, otherwise, even I wouldn't be able to protect you!"
"Senior, you worry too much. They cannot defeat me!"
Yun Fan smiled confidently, but in Fu Feng's eyes, Yun Fan was completely bragging.
At this moment, Yun Fan smelled a strong medicinal fragrance wafting through the air. Looking around, Medicine King Valley was undeniably vast.
Along the way, everyone they met respectfully called Fu Feng "Martial Uncle," indicating that Fu Feng's status in Medicine King Valley was not low.
At this point, the two arrived at the main hall of the Valley Master.
Several elderly elders stood on both sides, looking composed and meditating with their eyes closed. Although their strength was only at the half-step Innate realm, their status was more revered than that of Innate masters because their medical skills had reached a state of perfection.
Even Innate masters had to seek their help.
It was evident that Fu Feng's status was not as high as theirs. Upon seeing them, he bowed respectfully.
The elders merely opened their eyes to glance at Fu Feng before closing them again to meditate.
Just then, the Valley Master arrived. To Yun Fan's surprise, he had expected the Valley Master to be an ancient figure of unknown age.
Instead, the person who appeared was a middle-aged man of ordinary appearance, the kind who would be lost in a crowd.
However, his strength was exceptionally high. In Yun Fan's estimation, he was the strongest Innate master he had ever encountered.
Even his Seventh Senior Sister, Leng Ningshuang, and Kunlun Void were inferior to this middle-aged man.
Perhaps only the famous Patriarch of the Ye family could truly suppress him.
"Fu Feng, you haven't entered Medicine King Valley for many years. What is the reason for your visit this time?" the Valley Master asked Fu Feng.
Fu Feng immediately replied, "Valley Master, this time I came because I lost a bet and am here to take him into Medicine King Valley to seek a divine medicine!"
"What?"
Everyone's eyes turned cold. This fellow was truly unreliable, making bets at such an age. Well, even if he made a bet, he lost it.
And now he brought an outsider to trouble Medicine King Valley.
Aware of his mistake, Fu Feng lowered his head, not daring to meet anyone's gaze.
"Alas!"
The Valley Master sighed, "Fu Feng, if there is a next time, I will strip you of your position as an inner elder!"
"Yes!"
Fu Feng lowered his head in shame.
Yun Fan was astonished in his heart, never expecting that the arrogant and overbearing old man Fu Feng would be so obedient in front of the Valley Master.
It seemed that this Valley Master had more than a few tricks up his sleeve.
At this moment, the Valley Master asked Yun Fan, "May I ask, friend, what kind of pill are you seeking from our Medicine King Valley?"
Yun Fan immediately replied, "The Medicine God Pill!"
As soon as he said this, everyone glared at Yun Fan with anger. This fellow's appetite was truly extraordinary.
After all, the Medicine God Pill was the top-tier elixir of Medicine King Valley, and it was not easily given away.
The refinement of a Medicine God Pill was too taxing, and only those who had rendered great service to Medicine King Valley could receive such an honor.
As for this young lad before them, they couldn't understand what grounds he had for such a request.
The Valley Master then said to Yun Fan, "Then you may be disappointed. The Medicine God Pill is not easily given away, and you cannot obtain it!"
"It matters not!"
Yun Fan said calmly, "I can exchange it with other pills, one for one, at an equivalent value!"
"Hmph!"
At this moment, an elder coldly snorted, "The Medicine God Pill is priceless and the most precious thing in the world. What can you exchange it with?"
"Exactly! You are so young and yet so overconfident. Who gave you the courage to make such wild claims!"
Everyone glared at Yun Fan in anger.
Yun Fan said, "If I were to exchange it with a Great Return Pill, would that be considered an equivalent exchange?"
As soon as he said this, everyone was moved. That was the foremost of the three divine elixirs.
According to the ranking, the Great Return Pill was first, followed by the Body Tempering Pill, and finally the Medicine God Pill.
"Are you sure you have a Great Return Pill?" an elder asked dismissively.
That was an supreme elixir from Ghost Valley. He did not believe Yun Fan could possess such a precious elixir.
"Genuine and guaranteed!"
Yun Fan immediately produced the Great Return Pill. At this moment, everyone was moved.
Unexpectedly, Yun Fan truly possessed a Great Return Pill. Just as everyone was examining the peculiarities of the Great Return Pill, the Valley Master's expression turned somewhat displeased.
He then asked Yun Fan, "May I ask, friend, where are you from?"
"Ghost Valley Sect!" Yun Fan replied directly.
As soon as he said this, everyone glared at him furiously. In the hidden sects, the Ghost Valley Sect was a target of universal condemnation.
Of course, it wasn't that Yun Fan was too foolish to reveal his identity directly; it was just that when trading with Medicine King Valley, they wouldn't agree without knowing his origin.
Besides, the Ghost Valley Sect had not done anything shameful, so he dared to reveal his identity.
"I knew it! So you're from the Ghost Valley Sect! I'll kill any Ghost Valley Sect member I see!"
Immediately, an elder jumped out, intending to attack Yun Fan.
Seeing this, Fu Feng quickly distanced himself from Yun Fan, as he did not want to be mistaken for being associated with Yun Fan.
"Stop!"
The Valley Master's command made the elder reluctantly retreat to the side, but the anger towards Yun Fan seemed to be etched into their bones.
The Valley Master said, "A guest is a guest. Since you have come to our Medicine King Valley, you are our guest. However, Medicine King Valley does not welcome members of the Ghost Valley Sect, so you should leave!"
Such deep-seated prejudice! Yun Fan had no idea what his master had done in the past to incur such universal wrath.
This added a great deal of risk for Ghost Valley disciples when they were outside.
"Valley Master, your Medicine King Valley has always been known for healing the world and treating all beings equally. Why do you hold such deep prejudice against our Ghost Valley Sect?" Yun Fan pressed.
"Hmph!"
The Valley Master immediately said to Yun Fan, "If it weren't for your Ghost Valley Sect, our Medicine King Valley wouldn't have to stay in this secluded corner!"
"You, the Ghost Valley Sect, are also a hidden sect, yet you assist evildoers, suppress other hidden sects, and have forced them to remain in seclusion. Tell me, how detestable is your Ghost Valley Sect!"
Alright! Yun Fan was speechless. The Ghost Valley Sect was on the verge of declaring war on the world! Of course, he also knew the consequences of these hidden sects entering the secular world.
Therefore, on this point alone, he somewhat supported his master. His master had done a good job.
He then said, "It's a shame your Medicine King Valley is called the ultimate holy land for physicians in the world, yet you are so short-sighted!"
"What did you say?"
At this moment, everyone present glared at Yun Fan with furious eyes, each wishing they could tear him to shreds.
"Isn't it?"
Yun Fan continued, "Since you care about the world, you should know the consequences of hidden sects entering the secular world. Before long, the secular world will be in chaos and the common people will suffer!"
This was the truth of Yun Fan's words. These hidden sects were immensely powerful. If they entered the secular world, it would be the common people who would suffer.
How could they not see these consequences? It was just that Medicine King Valley had always been low-key and they never bullied others lightly.
Back then, when the old Celestial Master of Ghost Valley suppressed other hidden sects, he shouldn't have dragged Medicine King Valley into it.
"Our Medicine King Valley has always had a good reputation, so how could we be the type to bully others?" an elder retorted indignantly.
Yun Fan calmly replied, "Your Medicine King Valley is also a hidden sect. Just because you don't doesn't mean others won't. You are the top members of Medicine King Valley, naturally detached from the worldly affairs of life. But can you guarantee that your disciples won't make mistakes?"
Upon hearing this, the elder dared not reply, because in the past, there had been disciples of Medicine King Valley who wreaked havoc in the secular world.
Although Medicine King Valley had punished them in a timely manner, they had still harmed many people.
At this moment, the Valley Master said to Yun Fan, "There is no need to argue further. You want the Medicine God Pill, don't you? As long as you agree to three conditions from our Medicine King Valley, I will give you the Medicine God Pill!"
"Valley Master, no!"
Everyone hurriedly tried to dissuade him.
The Valley Master waved his hand, and only then did everyone realize that since the Valley Master was so confident, Yun Fan would surely be unable to fulfill the three conditions.
"Aren't you going to consider exchanging it with the Great Return Pill?" Yun Fan pressed.
"No, our Medicine King Valley does not covet anything from the Ghost Valley Sect!" the Valley Master directly refused.
Alright! You are noble, you are amazing.
Yun Fan directly asked, "What are the three conditions?"
"The first condition is that it is said your Ghost Valley Sect's martial arts are supreme in the world. Therefore, you only need to defeat my junior brother to complete the first condition!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Innate master who had been guarding Medicine King Valley earlier entered the arena.
This person was Innate, but not as strong as the Valley Master.
Yun Fan nodded, "Alright!"
Although the opponent was strong, who was Yun Fan? He was the contemporary Sect Master of Ghost Valley. Even when facing an Innate master, he was not intimidated.
Moreover, he was determined to obtain the Medicine God Pill, so he had to fight and win this battle.
It was just puzzling to Yun Fan why they didn't want to compete in alchemy with him. In his opinion, alchemy was the specialty of Medicine King Valley.
Therefore, they disdained to compete using their strengths with others. Alright! You are noble, you are amazing again.
"What about the second condition?" Yun Fan continued to inquire.
The Valley Master said, "From now on, our Medicine King Valley will enter the secular world. Your Ghost Valley Sect must not obstruct us!"
"Sorry, I cannot agree to this matter!" Yun Fan directly refused. This was a joke. He did not want to be a traitor to Ghost Valley.
Both in reason and emotion, he could not agree.
"Then there is nothing we can do. You may leave!" The Valley Master directly issued an eviction notice.
Alright! Yun Fan was completely defeated by these old fellows. If he could, he really wanted to resort to robbery.
"Then why didn't the Valley Master mention the third condition?"
"You couldn't even fulfill the second condition, so there's no need to mention the third!" the Valley Master glanced at Yun Fan coldly.
"Then please tell me the third condition. If I perfectly fulfill the third condition, will you grant me the Medicine God Pill?"
Yun Fan did not want to leave like this. If he left, Jiang Xueyan, whom he had a slight acquaintance with, would surely die.
Seeing Yun Fan's persistence, the Valley Master sneered, "The third condition is that I want to know who you are trying to save with the Medicine God Pill?"
So the third condition was this simple! Yun Fan felt that there was no hope, but at this moment, he could only answer.
"Save my friend!"
"What kind of injury does your friend have that requires a Medicine God Pill?" the Valley Master continued to press.
Yun Fan then told the Valley Master the true situation.
"What?"
The Valley Master's eyes widened, and then he asked Yun Fan with an excited tone, "Are you sure your friend, at the brink of death, could lock onto a trace of life force?"
"Certain!" Yun Fan nodded directly.
"Good, very good!" The Valley Master praised. At this moment, even the elders meditating with their eyes closed were coveting it.
This made Yun Fan confused. He didn't know why these people were showing such longing eyes.
The Valley Master then said, "I've changed my mind. It doesn't matter if you can't fulfill the second condition. As long as you complete the first condition, I will give you the Medicine God Pill!"
"Really?" Yun Fan's face lit up with joy. Although he didn't know the reason yet, it was worth the trip to obtain the Medicine God Pill.
However, before the Valley Master could confirm, the Great Elder of Medicine King Valley said, "No need. I can also give you the Medicine King Pill! However, I have a small condition: to take your friend as a disciple!"
"Hmph!" Another elder coldly snorted, "As if only you have the Medicine King Pill! I'm not without it either!"
Then, he eagerly said to Yun Fan, "Young friend, I can give you two, and the request is the same: to take your friend as a disciple. Unlike them, I will directly accept her as a personal disciple, the inheritor of my legacy!"
Alright! These old fellows had completely bewildered Yun Fan.
Seeing these esteemed elders of Medicine God Valley openly fighting over someone, Fu Feng, who was standing by, could no longer sit still.
The scene had changed too quickly! Although he didn't know the reason, he could guess that Yun Fan's friend was no ordinary person.
Otherwise, why would these old fellows be so moved?
"Enough!" The Valley Master immediately rebuked, "Elders, you are all prominent figures. How can you fight over such a trivial matter!"
As soon as he said this, the elders looked ashamed. After all, they were all esteemed individuals, and today, they had almost come to blows over a disciple.
Therefore, even they admitted that they had lost their composure.
"So, I, the Valley Master, have decided that this disciple will be taught by me. This matter is settled!"
As soon as he said this, everyone glared at the Valley Master furiously. They had thought the Valley Master was a person of great righteousness, but they didn't expect him to be so shameless.
Therefore, at this moment, the elders began to retort against the Valley Master. He was just the Valley Master, so what was there to be amazed by? They were not giving him any face at all!
As these people publicly fought over the disciple, the Medicine God Pills had increased from two to seven, as if the priceless treasure was suddenly as common as cabbage on the street.
Finally, the Valley Master directly reprimanded, "Elders, you are all seventy or eighty years old. Even if you take a personal disciple, how many years can you teach them? At most, twenty years!"
"I am young, I can teach for forty or fifty years. She will be able to learn more skills. In this regard, none of you should compete with me!"
As soon as he said this, the elders cursed even more fiercely.
"You scoundrel Mo Yun! If it weren't for me intervening for you back then, could you have become the Valley Master? Now you dare to curse me to death?"
"Exactly! If you hadn't begged us to recommend you as the Valley Master of Medicine God Valley back then! Do you think you could have taken the position?"
"You ungrateful wretch!"
Yun Fan was completely stunned on the side. He had thought that the powerful figures of Medicine King Valley were all people who were indifferent to worldly affairs, but he never expected there to be so many hidden dramas.
At this moment, even the Valley Master Mo Yun couldn't sit still.
He said somewhat lacking in confidence, "I think there's no need for everyone to argue anymore. Arguing further won't solve anything. Why don't we let young friend Yun decide?"
Immediately, everyone looked towards Yun Fan. Not only was their previous hostility gone, but there was also a hint of pleading.
At this moment, Yun Fan, who was completely confused, asked, "You all want to take my friend as a disciple?"
"Wrong!" Mo Yun directly denied it. Yun Fan breathed a sigh of relief. If they were really going to take Jiang Xueyan as a disciple, he wouldn't know how to respond.
Although this was an opportunity for Jiang Xueyan, given her personality, she would definitely not agree.
"As a personal disciple! The future Valley Master of Medicine King Valley!" Mo Yun said firmly.
"Ah! This..." Yun Fan was speechless for a moment.
But he still braced himself and asked, "What is so special about my friend that makes you all compete so fiercely?"
The elder who had made the highest offer earlier said, "Because your friend, oh no, my disciple, has a medicinal king physique that is rare in a thousand years!"
"Medicinal King Physique?" Yun Fan asked, confused, "You haven't even seen her, how can you be sure she has the Medicinal King Physique?"
This was what Yun Fan was curious about. If it was just based on inference, wasn't that too arbitrary?
Were these guys so unreliable in their actions?
At this moment, Mo Yun said, "Although we haven't seen her, there are many characteristics of the Medicinal King Physique. For example, the characteristics displayed by your friend are one of the characteristics of the Medicinal King Physique!"
"This is also the reason why we concluded she is of the Medicinal King Physique!"
Yun Fan asked, "What if you are mistaken?"
"Are you doubting our judgment?" At this moment, all eyes were fixed on Yun Fan. Yun Fan was speechless and said nothing more.
At this time, Mo Yun said, "Since the death of the Medicine King Sun Simiao, in the thousand years that followed, our Medicine King Valley has not produced another Medicine King. If in this era, we can have a Medicine King to lead our Medicine King Valley, our Medicine King Valley will surely be able to recreate the glory of a thousand years ago!"
This era was indeed very long ago. However, at this moment, he prayed in his heart that these old fellows' predictions were false.
Otherwise, if he had a casual acquaintance with Jiang Xueyan in the future, he would have to run to Medicine King Valley. This price was too great!
At this moment, Yun Fan said, "If it is truly as you elders say, then it is her destiny. However, I cannot agree on her behalf!"
"She needs to decide for herself!"
"Good!" Mo Yun said, "When I go out this time, I will personally go with you. I believe she will agree!"
"Senior, you must not use forceful means to compel her to agree, otherwise, the Medicine King Valley and I will be enemies until death!" Yun Fan warned.
"That is natural!" Mo Yun said to Yun Fan, "You can rest assured about this matter!"
"Alright, then it's settled!" Yun Fan knew that at this moment, the priority was to heal Jiang Xueyan. Nothing was more important than this.
The few highly respected elders were unwilling, but they also knew that the agreement was made. It was not good for too many people to go.
They could wait for Mo Yun to bring the person back, and then they would begin to compete to take Jiang Xueyan as a true disciple.
Coincidentally, during Mo Yun's absence, they would plan. After all, if Jiang Xueyan could be cultivated into a Medicine King, their reputation would spread for a thousand years. Nothing was more tempting than fame.
"Good!" Yun Fan nodded, then asked, "Do I still need to fight your junior brother?"
"No need. You are a distinguished guest of our Medicine King Valley. Since you are a distinguished guest, why would we resort to fighting?" Mo Yun said biasedly.
At this moment, he directly ignored Yun Fan's identity as a disciple of Ghost Valley.
Not only that, but Mo Yun generously promoted Fu Feng to an Enforcement Elder, equivalent to a management position in Medicine God Valley.
Before, Fu Feng was at most an internal employee of Medicine King Valley. Now, he had become a management-level official, which made Fu Feng so excited that he almost fainted.
He never expected happiness to come so suddenly.
It had to be said that bringing Yun Fan this time had brought him great benefits.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go!" Mo Yun urged.
Alright! Since he was in such a hurry, Yun Fan quickly left Medicine King Valley with Mo Yun. After all, every minute's delay meant more danger for Jiang Xueyan.
...
Upon arriving at Jinling.
The several women were surprised. They never expected Yun Fan to bring the Valley Master himself from Medicine King Valley. This operation was truly impressive.
Although Medicine King Valley might not be prominent in martial arts, if Medicine King Valley so much as uttered a word, nearly half of the hidden sects would have to show respect.
This was the status of Medicine King Valley.
At this moment, Mo Yun glanced at the women and realized that none of them were ordinary. Yun Fan's three senior sisters were naturally no exception.
After all, the insight of the old Celestial Master of Ghost Valley was evident.
As for Lin Tianxin, apart from her beauty, she seemed ordinary. However, upon closer inspection, he discovered that Lin Tianxin possessed the Profound Yin Physique.
This was terrifying. If Lin Tianxin were to practice martial arts in the future, it would not take long for her to become one of the strongest individuals in the world.
He hadn't expected Yun Fan to be so charming and have so many confidantes following him.
Furthermore, these confidantes seemed to be no ordinary individuals.
Subsequently, he urged Yun Fan to see Jiang Xueyan.
Upon entering the room, he saw Jiang Xueyan lying quietly on the sickbed, her life barely flickering.
Thus, he began to perform a thread pulse diagnosis. After confirming that Jiang Xueyan possessed the Medicinal King Physique, his悬着的心 finally landed.
It seemed that in a short time, Medicine King Valley would have a Medicine King again. They had waited for this day for a very, very long time.
Even the past Valley Masters had waited, but unfortunately, it had all been in vain. He never expected that this opportunity would fall into his hands.
Seeing the excited look on Mo Yun's face, Yun Fan awkwardly reminded him, "Senior, don't get too excited yet. Please save my friend first!"
"Oh! I lost my composure!" Mo Yun quickly began the treatment, but he had already determined in his heart that Jiang Xueyan was definitely one of Yun Fan's confidantes.
Otherwise, Yun Fan would not be so worried. It seemed that in the future, Medicine King Valley might have to oppose those hidden sects!
After all, Yun Fan was from Ghost Valley, and Jiang Xueyan was of the Medicinal King Physique. The two would definitely develop into a couple in the future.
However, he was not too worried. If that day came, Medicine King Valley's situation would not be too difficult.
After all, Medicine King Valley was different from the universally condemned Ghost Valley Sect. Everyone in the world, no matter what, might need to seek the help of Medicine King Valley one day.
Even if they knew about the relationship between the two, they wouldn't dare to offend Medicine King Valley completely.
This was the confidence of Medicine King Valley.
At this moment, Yun Fan asked Mo Yun, "Senior, do you need a Great Return Pill?"
In Yun Fan's theory, taking the Medicine God Pill first and then the Great Return Pill would definitely heal Jiang Xueyan.
However, Mo Yun confidently said, "No need for a Great Return Pill, and the Medicine God Pill is also unnecessary!"
As expected of a divine doctor, he was so confident. Compared to the divine doctor Ye Lingbei, whose reputation was diluted with much water, Mo Yun was a genuine divine doctor.
But Yun Fan asked worriedly, "Is it really possible without divine pills?"
"Of course!" Mo Yun explained, "Although divine pills are good, they are rare. However, they also have drawbacks. If you consume too much, your body will inevitably have impurities. Although her injuries are severe and she is on the verge of death, in my eyes, this injury is not a major issue!"
Yun Fan nodded, agreeing with Mo Yun's words.
At this moment, Mo Yun said to Yun Fan, "You protect her. I will use remote needling!"
"Good!" Yun Fan nodded, and then Mo Yun began the treatment.
Mo Yun was a person who understood boundaries. Even though Jiang Xueyan would be his personal disciple in the future, he never had any physical contact when treating women. Therefore, he was known as a gentleman of medicine by the world. Looking at him now, his reputation as a gentleman was indeed well-deserved.
Of course, his medical skills were ingenious and had reached the peak. Even Yun Fan was not as good as him.
To be able to hold the position of Valley Master, Mo Yun relied on his strength. Although Yun Fan had learned some inside stories during their argument, it was all irrelevant. After all, if Mo Yun lacked ability, those elders would not have supported him to the position of Valley Master.
In less than half an hour, Mo Yun finished the needling and then instructed Yun Fan to pull out the silver needles.
"Pfft!" Jiang Xueyan spat out a mouthful of black blood, then slowly woke up.
