Chapter 906 - Chapter 906 Chapter 581 Seeing Double Pupils Stone Toughness

Chapter 906: Chapter 581: Seeing Double Pupils Stone Toughness Again_2 Chapter 906: Chapter 581: Seeing Double Pupils Stone Toughness Again_2 It reminisced about the fairies of Jade Tower, the witches of Ten Thousand Demons Cave, and the demonesses of the Demon Sea… All of them were remarkable, etching memories that were hard to forget even now!

…

The Taiyin Moon Rabbit had always been by Cao Yu Sheng’s side.

A man and a dog were still hanging on.

The final blow of time hadn’t completely fallen yet.

The reason for this was that Shi Hao had once sought out Divine Medicine that could extend their lifespans, and the remnants of their efficacy were still working.

Most of those Divine Medicines came from Medicine King Valley.

Upon learning that Cao Yu Sheng and the Old Black Dog’s end was nearing once again, Shi Hao did not dare delay and headed straight to Medicine King Valley at the first opportunity.

Although Cao Yu Sheng’s relationship with him wasn’t as deep as with Tu Wa Zi and Gu Chen from Liu Village, whose bond started since they were bare-bottomed kids, Cao Yu Sheng’s temperament suited him well. Even if sometimes a bit too timid, if he was in trouble, the other would not hesitate to lend a hand without a second thought.

Life is fleeting. Whether it is a confidant who can share in joy and sorrow, a brother who helps drown myriad troubles with wine, or a foe worthy of opposition, all are precious.

And the former two are among the most treasured.

Along the way, nothing much had happened yet, but he had already seen many familiar old faces leave his side, turning into small, humble mounds of dust and dirt. Shi Hao did not want to see Cao Yu Sheng follow the same path as those before him.

He knew very well that as time passed, there would be fewer and fewer of those old friends left, and he wanted to save as many as possible.

Apart from Shi Hao, Gu Chen, and Tu Wa Zi also went together.

They also had a good private relationship with Cao Yu Sheng, having shared drinks and laughter before. Now that they learned that Little Fatty’s end was near, they all felt sentimental.

…

…

Medicine King Valley was hidden among layers of overlapping mountains, with peaks clustered together in a continuous chain. Lush green forests densely carpeted the mountainsides, like a vast emerald quilt.

Upon a closer look, one would find that the mountain was entirely covered with treasure medicinal plants cultivated by disciples of Medicine King Valley. While not all were extremely rare, the sheer quantity was impressive.

The place was famous for its alchemy. Members of the sect mostly eschewed fighting, instead, they devoted themselves to brewing various spirit pills and cultivating all kinds of treasure medicinal plants. As such, the strongest among them was only at the Escaping One Realm.

However, given its special status, even though the sect did not have any top-tier combatants to speak of, no one dared to openly provoke Medicine King Valley since its founding. How could they, when even the oldest ancestors who failed to find life-extending substances relied on the elixirs crafted by Medicine King Valley to cling to life? Who would dare disturb them?

After the gates to the Immortal Domain opened wide thousands of years ago.

Like other great sects, Medicine King Valley relocated en masse to the Immortal Domain, establishing a foundation on an Immortal King, and continued to flourish to this day. Though its status was no longer as sacred as in the past, it still stood out like a crane among chickens, with an extraordinary position.

It wasn’t as though there were no sects specialized in alchemy within the Immortal Domain, and the quality of the elixirs they produced was even superior to that of Medicine King Valley.

However, those sects served other great undying sects, producing elixirs in extremely limited quantities. Orders had to be placed far in advance, and the prices were incredibly high, beyond the means of powers from among the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

Unless it was for entities like The Three Great Academies or the Eternal Family of the Royal Family, who might receive some consideration and, at great cost, might be lucky enough to exchange for a few elixirs, the rest couldn’t even imagine it.

For this reason, even though the status of Medicine King Valley was no longer as exalted as before, it still stood aloof from worldly affairs and continued to be sought after by myriad beings.

…

Near the Stone Gate.

A colossal Stone Gate rose from the ground, as magnificent as the stars, with the three characters for Medicine King Valley carved on it in a dragon-and-phoenix dance.

Inside the Stone Gate, the crowd was unending, shoulder to shoulder. A majority were loyal customers from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, with a few native beings from the Immortal Domain as well, mostly between the Godfire Realm and the Divine Realm.

“This is Medicine King Valley? Seems like it’s developed quite well over the years in the Immortal Domain, still thriving like this!”

Tu Wa Zi said with some emotion.

In the Cultivation World, places dedicated to alchemy are almost equivalent to pharmacies in the mundane world, where the alchemists are akin to pharmacists and doctors. From this perspective, whether in the mundane world or the Cultivation World, those who make medicine never have to worry about a lack of business, nor the issue of ‘even fine wines need no bush.’

He was somewhat tempted, vaguely recalling that the Library in Liu Village contained many Ancient Books on pharmacology and alchemy. They were all valuable items, recording numerous famous pill recipes, including some that had been lost to time.

With his privileges, he had the right to consult them. This time when he returned, he would definitely browse through them, learn a bit, and see if he had a talent in this area.

If he didn’t, it wouldn’t matter much, but if he had a knack for it, he would set up a pill workshop in the village no matter what, to address this deficiency. If it could become a source of considerable wealth in the future, so much the better. It would be an indirect contribution to the village.

A few people stepped out of the void. Due to their haste, they hadn’t bothered with concealment, instantly alarming the crowd below. Whether it was disciples of Medicine King Valley or others who had come to buy medicine, they all looked at Tu Wa Zi and the other two with shock and trembled all over.

The aura of the Immortal Path that spilled out at that moment was as overwhelming as surging waves to them, unbearable. It far surpassed that of ordinary True Immortals, nearly giving the impression as if they were in the presence of an Immortal King. They could not help but want to kneel down and kowtow to Shi Hao, Tu Wa Zi, and Gu Chen.

Fortunately.

Shi Hao and the others did not linger in place. They swiftly left, heading towards the depths of Medicine King Valley, toward the Medicine King Hall.

Only after the three figures had completely vanished from their sight did everyone let out a heavy sigh of relief.

“To think the two peerless talents of Liu Village have arrived at Medicine King Valley, it’s too shocking. They all look so young, yet the Immortal Might they possess is already so vast. I have truly lived these several hundred thousand years in vain!”

An elder from the Beheading Me Realm spoke, sighing heavily, feeling that he had truly wasted his life, having aged by who knows how many years and yet not having attained the Supreme status, nor even seeing any hope of breaking through to that realm. Perhaps in his lifetime, he would never become an invincible existence, let alone achieve the Immortal longevity.

The other person was quite sentimental, recalling the times when he was an unparalleled genius, a talent celebrated among his contemporaries and famous throughout the land. But if he were compared to the current age, he might be no different from a pebble in the corner, unworthy of anyone’s attention.

What was once described by the Sages as the most tumultuous era, where talent was at its lowest, was in fact quite the opposite!

Oddly, he felt as though what the Sages had said was as good as farting, not effective at all. If he could disregard the end times, he felt that the present era was a golden age that might be hard to come by even in the Ancient Immortal Era. If being named a ‘Sage’ was so easy, he felt maybe he could be one too, since prophecies were his own, and there was no need to worry about being right or wrong.

“Those two with Desolate must be the two peerless talents from Willow Sacred Land!” someone recognized Tu Wa Zi and Gu Chen, and couldn’t help but speak out.

It wasn’t that they were astonished to see these three individuals together–Shi Hao’s deep connection with the talents of Willow Sacred Land was well known to them from their time in the Lower Realm. What astonished them was wondering why the talents of Willow Sacred Land would come to Medicine King Valley?!

After crossing a vast open plain, suddenly three towering peaks loomed before them, reaching into the clouds and rugged in appearance.

The most majestic in the center was Medicine King Mountain.

However, just as they reached the summit, Shi Hao unexpectedly encountered an old acquaintance.

Someone he could never have anticipated.

Stone Toughness.

His Double Pupils cousin.

The other man was clad in a black robe, tall and sturdy, with broad shoulders as if hiding immense strength within. His face was resolute, his pupils deep like ink, resembling an Innate God. His gaze was profound, exuding an indescribable dignity. As a born Supreme being, he was quite extraordinary, radiating the aura of a strong figure.

Shi Hao stopped in his tracks, not intentionally avoiding him. His eyes met the other’s, the state of his mind completely calm, without the slightest ripple.

Since the great battle of life and death in the Void God Realm, the grievances between them had been settled with that conflict.

Seeing each other now, there was only a sense of the ineffable passage of time.

Tu Wa Zi and Gu Chen followed Shi Hao’s gaze, also recognizing Stone Toughness.

Of course, they knew of the Double Pupil Holder.
