Chapter 95: Chapter 95- Meridian Poison Pill

All the elders nodded their heads, they shifted their discussion to how to bribe Yang Chen to stay in their clan longer and if possible recruit him before moving on to other important topics.

"Clan leader, what happened to that item the First Elder brought back? Going as far as to even fight a life and death battle with others, surely the item must be extremely good?".

On the Elders query, Zhang Yuan took out a plain looking black tablet from his space ring. Marked on the tablet were numerous criss-crossing lines which seemed to indicate that it was some kind of ancient language.

"The first elder told me that it was an extremely mysterious item that was found near that ruins before passing out. He didn’t tell me anything about the usage of this item or the bloodbath that occurred in that place".

Zhang Yuan explained. He had been trying to find out the mysteries of the tablet by probing with his battle energy. But the item showed no response.

"Did the first elder say anything else?"...

"Hmm.. right, he told me that I should hold onto it and that someday a person might come looking for it. At that time if I hand it to him, our clan would receive great benefits" Zhang Yuan recalled.

His words caused the elders to gasp. They were not idiots, just by the fact that the item caused a bloodbath, they could tell that the item was not ordinary. Even though their clan leader was unable to find any mysteries regarding it, the item was no doubt a treasure.

It would be a good thing to hold onto it, it would be even better if they could somehow figure out what the item was. And even if they did not, according to the first elder, their clan was bound to get some great benefits once someone came to retrieve it.

After Zhang Yuan kept away the black tablet, the topic changed to the upcoming entrance test of the outer academy organised by the Holy Orchard Academy.

"Clan leader are you alright?" the second elder asked seeing the aura of the clan leader turn a little gloomy when they mentioned this topic.

The third young master, Zhang Wei was supposed to be representing their clan this time. However, he had met an untimely death inside the Star Fall Jungle while chasing a lowly slave.

How could he, the father be unfazed after his son met such a death when his future was just about to begin?

"I’m alright, continue discussing. Are our preparations ready to impede the candidate from the Lin clan? As far as I know, the one who is going to participate this time, is the daughter of their clan head".

"That girl is rumoured to be very talented, it is given that she would pass the test. However, we cannot allow that. Since we do not have any participants who can clear the test this year, we need to obstruct the other clans from sending their own no matter the cost. We cannot allow the other clan to become any more powerful than this. It is the utmost priority of our clan right now. Do you all understand?"

Zhang Yuan stated a formless pressure emitted from his body, making others realise the gravity of the situation.

"Clan leader does not need to worry, I have prepared two clan members who are fully aware of their duties. Although they are far from reaching the level of the third young master, they should be able to disrupt the test of that girl so that she fails" the third elder assured.

Zhang Yuan nodded his head before taking out two pills from his sleeves and handing it to the third elder.

"This is... Meridian Destroying Pill?!"...

"Tell them to use it if need be. They must absolutely achieve their mission".

The next day, the Zhang clan was somehow able to gather the last two ingredients that Yang Chen had told them and brought them before him.

"Sir Alchemist please check..."...

"The hogweed stem and the thorn flower, they are indeed the same ingredients I told you about. Good, I shall prepare refining the pill immediately. It will take some time, make sure that nobody disturbs me during this time"

Yang Chen declared after observing the item. He was just about to enter his room to start refining when suddenly he remembered something.

He plucked the seeds from the thorn flower and gave it to the second elder.

"Plant it somewhere in the garden of your Zhang clan, I might have a need for more of them in the future".

Right after saying that, Yang Chen disappeared inside his room leaving the stunned second elder behind.

Although it was vague, the second elder was able to grasp the hidden meaning behind those words.

"Sir Alchemist told me that he might have a need for them in the future but doesn’t that mean that he plans to stay in the Zhang clan a little longer?".

The news couldn’t be any more better for them. After all, the longer the alchemist stayed in their clan, the more time they would have to bribe and recruit him.

He was just wondering how he could convince the alchemist to stay a little longer in their clan. Never did he imagine that, the latter would approach them with the idea first.

Feeling excited at this thought, the second elder immediately called forth a servant and asked them to plant the seeds as per Yang Chen’s direction while he himself stood in front of the courtyard and guarded the place.

After five long hours, the door to the room was opened and a thick aroma powerful enough to drown out all the other scents in the surrounding wafted out.

"Sir Alchemist... how was the refining?"

The second elder immediately rushed forward. Although he did not hear any boom, he was still very nervous after all, it took them a long time and a lot of money to gather this set of ingredients.

If they were destroyed, they would have to gather them again. However, given the condition of the first elder, it was unknown what kind of effects it would have if the treatment was delayed any longer.
