Chapter 362 - Lan Wenxi

Shen Yuanbai owned properties inside Wuxin City. Among them, the Divine Wind Trading Company had the best development. Occupying half a street, many distinguished and domineering buildings stood tall in great numbers.

The location of the meeting was naturally going to be within the grounds of the Divine Wind Trading Company.

When Gongyi Tianheng and the others entered the city, they caused some waves. However, because this iron-ranked city was at the level of a veteran organization, it didnt catch excessive amounts of attention. Just a few of the city lords people came over to make discreet inquiries. After clarifying that this prodigy only came to visit a friend, and having their invitation to a banquet tactfully declined, the city lords people let the matter rest.

Shen Yuanbai had long been waiting inside the trading company.

Tianheng instructed his subordinates to follow the attendants for arrangements by themselves. Then, under the guidance of Lou Wei, Tianheng led Gu Zuo and several bodyguards to enter the core area of the trading company.

This was a lofty building, but it wasnt a palace. Rather, it was a large house. It looked like it wasnt a place for entertaining guests. On the contrary, it seemed like Shen Yuanbais own residence.

Lou Wei silently withdrew. In the end, he was a subordinate who didnt have permission. He wasnt someone who could go inside without authorization.

Tianheng slightly paused. After letting a breath loose, he calmly walked inside.

Gu Zuo followed close behind while giving furtive, measured glances all around. Soon after, his gaze landed on the owner of this large house.

There was a handsome young man who possessed a pure, masculine air. His facial features were deep and sculpted, his brows were as black as calligraphy ink, his fringe of hair was styled on the edge of a blade, and his temperament was grave and stern. While he sat in there, he didnt need to make any movements to give others a strong sense of danger. As his eyes swept over, it was as if a bolt of cold lightning burst forth with even more suppressive might.

He was Shen Yuanbai.

Gu Zuo felt a little shocked.

He had seen so many prodigies, but the feelings Shen Yuanbai, this supposed exceptional genius, gave people were the most frightening. Even Qi Xuanao and the others werent like this Perhaps, he really wasnt a mere exceptional genius any longer? Moreover, Gu Zuo could detect that the source of Shen Yuanbais formidable pressure didnt lie in his realm. Instead, it was due to his own body. Although Gu Zuo couldnt figure it out, he could perceive that, in addition to the qi energy surrounding his body, there were some other qi emissions that entwined around him. It was this kind of qi emission that gave off a feeling like a mountain of daggers or an ocean of flames. With a single look, one wouldnt be able to stop their heart from palpitating.

However, after the two walked inside, those qi emissions surrounding Shen Yuanbai vanished. He was originally sitting down, but now, he gave even more face by standing up. He said: Welcome, please have a seat.

Gu Zuo and Tianheng looked at this person, and observed the necessary etiquette without speaking. Then, they called out: Senior Shen.

Shen Yuanbai spoke: Im just a few years older. Theres no need to address me as such.

Following this, Gu Zuo and Tianheng changed the designation to Brother Shen.

To be honest, the feelings this Shen Yuanbai gave off were very different from what Gu Zuo imagined.

Gu Zuo originally felt that, since he had been running many industries, he ought to have been a little closer to his big brother in terms of temperament. But now it seemed that, let alone close, he was practicallya fierce general who had just returned from the battlefield. Or perhaps, it shouldve been said that he seemed like a lone swordsman, a reclusive saber wielder, or some other personage. It was quite unusual.

But overall, his temperament was still upright.

Shen Yuanbai appeared to have a hint of a good impression of Tianheng. After everyone took their seats and Tianheng expressed his thanks, Shen Yuanbais lips, which were stretched into a thin line, slightly moved: Ive heard that the one Brother Gongyi has joined in Ten Ultimates Sect is the Blood Transformation Palace Hall?

Tianheng had a smile on his face: Precisely.

Shen Yuanbai nodded his head: The Blood Transformation Palace Hall possesses miraculous skills and is extremely powerful. Then, he said, With Brother Gongyis apt.i.tudes, youve surely claimed a seat under the Blood Transformation Palace Master as an apprentice.

Tianheng replied: Its certainly as you say.

Shen Yuanbai didnt pursue the heart of the matter. After making these two inquiries, he changed the subject. They talked about when the leyline could be opened as well as when they would officially enter the leyline.

Following Shen Yuanbais explanation, Gu Zuo and Tianheng were even more clear about the leylines circ.u.mstances.

As it turned out, this leyline was one that had been sealed up by someone.

Many tens of thousands of years ago, a pharmacist travelled to this land, and happened to discover that a leyline was on the verge of transforming. At that time, the earth would be overturned, and stone ova would burst out of the ground. This wouldve inevitably led to a b.l.o.o.d.y compet.i.tion that erupted with unrest throughout the entire Central Continent!

That pharmacist was benevolent and charitable, and couldnt bear such a thing. Thus, she used her psychic power to create a blockade, which sealed the whole leyline underground and prevented it from emerging. If anyone wanted to secretly wrest control of the leyline, their psychic power wouldve needed to be stronger than that pharmacists psychic power. And in the wake of that virtuous pharmacists advancing realm and growing strength, she was ultimately bestowed the t.i.tle of emperor. Over the years, the psychic power that blockaded the leyline became more and more secure. Even when that pharmacist finally pa.s.sed away, the psychic power in the leyline solidified when that pharmacist was at her strongest. Generation after generation, the blockade had never weakened.

It was also from that moment onward when information spread out. That pharmacist allowed the leyline to open once every ten thousand years. At that time, the matured stone ova could be harvested by those who would come later. The numerous stone ova were also for the sake of nurturing the younger generations. By doing so, it prevented any extremely powerful pharmacists among them from wrecking havoc and bringing about a reign of terror.

Gu Zuo heard this, and only felt that it sounded somewhat familiar: That benevolent and charitable pharmacist

Tianheng opened his mouth as well: Could it be Greater Emperor Medicine Sage?

Shen Yuanbai spoke: Thats right. Its precisely that Greater Emperor.

That female Greater Emperor had accomplished many matters such as this since her time as a youth. With her capabilities and luck, she originally couldve turned all of these things for her own use. However, because she didnt take anything away and properly preserved them instead, it allowed the younger generations to make use of these resources like a thin stream that flowed forever. This deserved the unparalleled grat.i.tude and reverence of the current pharmacists on the continent.

Gu Zuo finished listening, and sighed.

Truly extraordinary.

If it was himself Gu Zuo was a little ashamed. He definitely wouldnt have done that. His strength wasnt high enough, and there were still objectives he needed to achieve.

But supposing that, in the future, his realm was profound and he really came across an opportunity, he would try to do the same.

It was just that the present him couldnt do that.

Tossing this abrupt state of mind to the side, Gu Zuo looked at Shen Yuanbai.

Shen Yuanbai hadnt said these things to stimulate any enlightening thoughts within Tianheng and Gu Zuo. When talking about the leyline, he simply mentioned its origins.

After that, Shen Yuanbai continued to speak: Three days from now, well head to Maple Forest Ruins. There are twenty-something entrances to the leyline, but theres only one entrance under the jurisdiction of my Heavenly Martial Sect.

In any case, the leyline was huge, and very few people could enter each time. One entrance was adequate. Even though smaller organizations mightve known about the positions of other entrances, there was nothing they could do about it. Basically, there was no need to fight over the entrances.

Tianheng responded: Ah Zuo and I will certainly be on time.

Shen Yuanbai seemed satisfied, but he didnt say much. He only said: Junior Sect Brother Lan will be coming along, too.

Tianheng smiled: We know.

Since there would be only one entrance, it wasnt strange that all members of Heavenly Martial Sect would be going inside together.

Gu Zuo suddenly understood.

That Shopkeeper Fang talked about running across Lan Wenxi within the leyline, but this encounter would be happening before they went inside.

Immediately after this, the two bade their farewells.

Gu Zuo followed Tianheng, and left this residence. While walking away, he had an odd feeling. He didnt dare to turn around, but he felt that Prodigy Shen Yuanbai was staring at his big brothers back. However, he also felt that gaze didnt contain anything peculiar En, that fellow shouldnt have been l.u.s.ting after his big brothers charms.

When thinking about the word charming to describe Tianheng, Gu Zuo felt embarra.s.sed.

So, what was this type of gaze in the end He was unable to make sense of it.

[Big brother, d-do you sense that?]

[Theres no harm in it.]

[Eh?]

[Anyway, it shouldnt have anything to do with me.]

Gu Zuo:

Alright. Since big brother thought there werent any problems, then there definitely werent any problems.

If Prodigy Shen liked to watch, then just let him

The period of three days pa.s.sed by in the blink of an eye.

Maple Forest Ruins was located in the back of Wuxin City. As far as prodigies were concerned, this bit of distance wasnt worth mentioning. However, this time around wasnt going to be the same as before. Although some people were heading over one after another, the total number wasnt particularly high. Also, there werent any bustling, crowded scenes of people from the city after discovering a secret realm like in the past.

During these few days, Lan Wenxi met up with them.

He didnt resemble the words that made up his name. Not only wasnt there any feeling of culture or gentle elegance, he was instead born with broad shoulders and a thin waist. His facial features were handsome and bright, and his temperament was heroic and high-spirited. Looking at him, one would feel cheerful and delighted.

Shen Yuanbais att.i.tude towards Lan Wenxi was pretty good, but from beginning to end, his face was solemn and serious. One couldnt see any changes that were too big. Meanwhile, Lan Wenxi was the one who held more respect for Shen Yuanbai. While Lan Wenxi would occasionally be chastised by him when asking for guidance on martial skills, this fellow would always listen respectfully.

To be honest, this wasnt like a pair of good friends. Instead, it seemed like a stern older brother and an obedient younger brother Though, on the contrary, there still existed a friends.h.i.+p between them.

But as far as Gu Zuo and Gongyi Tianheng were concerned, it was enough to determine that their friends.h.i.+p really existed and that both parties were able to contact one another.

Lan Wenxi was outspoken and straightforward: While we go on this trip, my numerous subordinated battle slaves will remain here. Senior Sect Brother Shen, would you mind tending to them for a few days?

Shen Yuanbais face was expressionless: They wont lack for a bite to eat. If you disdain that as insufficient, then you can fork over the spirit crystals for their meals personally.

Gu Zuo:

This was considered cracking a joke, right? Haha.

Soon after, Shen Yuanbai spoke to Tianheng: If you dont mind, your subordinated battle slaves can also stay here. When we head to Maple Forest Ruins, the battle slaves wont be able to follow us inside, so theres no need for any grand processions. Naturally, if you have some other arrangements, you can do as you wish.

Tianheng plainly said: What arrangements would I have? I will have to trouble Brother Shen.

At this moment, Lan Wenxi smiled and said: Senior Sect Brother Shen treats Brother Gongyi with such cordiality, but is so stern with this little brother. It truly leaves one with a saddened heart.

Shen Yuanbai still didnt make any expressions, and stated: Previously, youve eaten my things, and now, your battle slaves are going to eat my things, too. This has been going on for years. Brother Gongyi has only eaten a few meals from me. What are you sad about?

Lan Wenxi sighed: Eventually, we all grow old. Senior Sect Brother Shen no longer cherishes me.

Shen Yuanbai gave him a sidelong glance: Talking out of your a.s.s.

Gu Zuo felt exasperated.

Okay. Now, he knew that these two people didnt just have friendly relations. Rather, this friends.h.i.+p was very strong. Though, watching Shen Yuanbai make jokes with such a deadpan expression still caused people to flinch a little in their hearts.

However, those two fellow disciples didnt intend to show off this brotherly camaraderie in front of new acquaintances on purpose. After they spoke a few words, Shen Yuanbai stood up first, and began moving: Brother Gongyi, you and Pharmacist Gu should follow us.

Tianheng nodded his head, and said: Brother Shen, Brother Lan. Well be in your care.

Gu Zuo stood on Tianhengs left side, displaying his closeness.

Shen Yuanbai took the initiative to lead the way.

Contrary to what one might expect, Lan Wenxis complexion became somewhat subtle after seeing this scene.

His Senior Sect Brother Shen normally wasnt a talkative person. Today, his senior sect brother was in the mood to joke with him, and had actively conversed with this Gongyi Tianheng. It was truly too rare.

Something strange was going on for such an unusual event to occur. Lan Wenxi was somewhat curious.

At first, he was quite interested in Gu Zuo, who could refine prismatic pills. As for Tianheng, he felt that the other partys apt.i.tudes were pretty good, but he would wait until this fellows realm was more profound before genuinely regarding the other party with importance. But now, just by looking at the unusual att.i.tude of his Senior Sect Brother Shen, he wanted to pay even more attention to these two.

What was the reason for Shen Yuanbais att.i.tude? The mystery made Lan Wenxis heart itch.

Due to the rather good relations.h.i.+p between their two masters, he had received a lot of Senior Sect Brother Shens care since joining Heavenly Martial Sect. Yet, he had never seen any intersections between Senior Sect Brother Shen and Gongyi Tianheng. Besides, it had been no more than a short two months since Tianheng appeared, so the source of his senior sect brothers special respect most likely wasnt on Tianheng himself.

It truly left one yearning to figure it out.

Just as he was considering this, Shen Yuanbai, who was originally in the very front and had turned his head to provide directions, suddenly swept a sharpened gaze at Lan Wenxi.

Lan Wenxi immediately kept an upright att.i.tude.

Even if he wanted to know, it seemed that he could only make discreet inquiries on the sly.

Gu Zuos thoughts were preoccupied with the leyline, and he didnt notice anything strange.

The edge of Tianhengs lips wore a smile. It appeared that he similarly hadnt realized anything.

After traveling for a while, the group reached Maple Forest Ruins without a hitch.

Soon, a number of people came to welcome them. Lan Wenxi gave introductions, and pointed at the four: This time, well be entering the leyline. My spot has a pharmacist wholl be going with me. Senior Sect Brother Shens spot also has three people. Then, he presented Tianheng and Gu Zuo, These two will be going with us. One is Ten Ultimates Sects prodigy, and the other is a pharmacist with heaven-level potential. All of you cant be neglectful.

Between those people, there were three pharmacists and one martial artist. Among them, the martial artist was slightly similar in appearance to Shen Yuanbai, so he must have been the chosen member of the Shen household. As for the pharmacists, apart from the one who was close to that Shen Clan member, the other two were deferential to Shen Yuanbai and Lan Wenxi, respectively.

At this time, they also came over to call out in greetings.
