Chapter 338: The Northern Desert Medicine School
Meng Yirou witnessed Gu Heng refining pills with her own eyes, and when the pills were completed, there were three pure, flawless Grade 8 pills produced.
Even just watching him refine medicine caused her cultivation and alchemy skills to improve by leaps and bounds.
In just a few days, Meng Yirou became the youngest seventh-grade alchemist in the world, and her cultivation had already broken through to the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage. If she could gain so much just by watching him refine medicine once, then what if he could really teach her how to refine medicine...?
Meng Yirou didn't dare to think any further.
She is a disciple of the Palace Master of the Divine Healer Palace. Now that she has become his disciple, she cannot seek another suitable teacher halfway through her journey.
However, Meng Yirou still longed to see that young master Gu again, even if only once.
Unfortunately, she had sent people back to Qingmu City in secret, but the answer she received was that the Gu Family Medical Clinic no longer existed. It was said that Young Master Gu had sold the clinic to a mortal and then disappeared without a trace.
She knew she wouldn't find him.
If such a powerful predecessor were to disappear and go into seclusion, how difficult would it be to find him in this vast world?
Despite feeling deeply regretful, Meng Yirou couldn't forget what she had seen. Even after returning to the Sunflame Dynasty, she still harbored a longing to see Gu Heng again.
"Little sister Yirou, you're here too?"
A crisp sound pulled Meng Yirou back to her thoughts.
Looking up, her expression didn't seem particularly pleasant either.
The person who greeted her was a young man. He was dressed in a leather outfit with a rather burly style, a long knife at his waist, dark brown skin, and a half-gold mask on his face.
"Qi Yuan...you're here too."
Meng Yirou's expression was indifferent; upon seeing the young man named Qi Yuan, she adopted a distant attitude.
"The Eastern Frontier isn't far from the Northern Desert, but it's quite far from the Western Regions. Your Imperial Medical Palace must have paid a considerable price to send you here in such a short time."
Qi Yuan had a slightly frivolous smile on his face. Seeing that Meng Yirou was intentionally distancing herself from him, he stopped standing there as well.
"This is none of your business, 'Northern Desert Medicine School'."
She responded coldly.
Although she had expected to encounter such a nemesis, Meng Yirou was still not very happy when she actually met him.
Qi Yuan, the "Golden-Faced Pill King," is a pharmacist, just like her.
But Qi Yuan comes from the "Northern Desert Medicine School"...
Everyone knows that the Divine Palace of Medicine is the holy land of alchemy in the world and fully deserves the title of extraordinary power. However, no one can ignore the "Northern Desert Medicine Sect", which is almost on par with the Divine Palace of Medicine and has its own prestige despite not having the name of an extraordinary power.
The Northern Desert Medicine Sect is not a sect or force, but rather a kind of unorthodox and eccentric method of alchemy, in the eyes of the Divine Palace of Medicine!
This is related to the northern desert region.
At the end of the primordial era, the five realms were in chaos, and beings from the five realms invaded other worlds, causing widespread chaos.
The northern desert was thrown into chaos by creatures from the underworld and the demon realm.
After the Five Realms Passage broke and the chaotic battle ended.
The northern desert still bears an indelible scar, etched deep into the Xuan Tian Realm! That scar is the "Great Abyss" located in the northern desert!
It is said that the Great Abyss is filled with the corpses of beings from the Netherworld and the Demon Realm. Its malevolent aura never dissipates. Within a radius of a thousand miles of the Great Abyss, no vegetation grows. And the most terrifying creature is the "Abyss Demon"!
Every so often, the Abyss Demons born in the Great Abyss will crawl out, ranging from nearly a million to tens of millions!
They have no intelligence, only instinct. Once they emerge from the abyss, they slaughter any living creature they can find, carrying with them a polluted, poisonous aura, trampling flowers, grass, and trees...
and so.
In order to deal with the chaos of the Abyss Demons.
In response to this need, the "Zhenyuan Hall," a military force of the northern deserts that has been passed down since the primordial era, came into being.
The Abyssal Demons are also something that can be utilized.
Therefore, some alchemists began to take an interest in the Abyssal Demons... Ultimately, they used these evil creatures, whose entire bodies were covered in poison, to "cultivate" different medicinal plants, animals, and even livestock, or to deliberately corrupt people...
Ultimately, the alchemists of the northern deserts formed their own faction.
but.
Apart from them, no alchemist in the world approves of this practice. For a long time, the "Northern Desert Medicine Sect" was even regarded as an evil cultivator and was condemned by everyone.
However, as time went by, the "Northern Desert Medicine School" grew larger and larger.
Until now.
Although the Northern Desert Medicine Sect is not considered a sect, it has amassed a formidable influence that rivals the Divine Palace of Healing.
The best among them is the famous "King of Medicine in the Northern Desert"!
He is a top-tier ninth-grade alchemy master, just like the Palace Master of the Divine Medicine Palace, Yao Zhenren! And his disciple is none other than Qi Yuan, the "Golden-Faced Medicine King" standing before Meng Yirou.
The relationship between the two sides is very bad, which started a long time ago. However, although the reputation of the Northern Desert Medicine Sect is not very good, the Northern Desert alchemists have produced a lot of particularly excellent "miracle drugs".
Although the Northern Desert Medicine Sect is still most famous for its ruthless poisons that can kill even immortals without blinking an eye...
after all.
What else can be researched besides poison from a monster like the Abyssal Demon, whose mere walk can wither roadside vegetation?
"I've heard that this secret palace is a relic left behind by immortals. If there are truly opportunities for immortals inside, then we absolutely cannot miss it."
Qi Yuan has a cheerful and straightforward personality and speaks his mind directly.
"Sister Yirou, you can team up with me. You're still a cut above me when it comes to alchemy, but as for combat..."
He patted the long sword at his waist. "I'm still better at it."
"No need, I'm used to being alone," Meng Yirou said coldly.
"...You rejected me very quickly."
Qi Yuan smiled without changing his expression.
Those around him chuckled, but when Qi Yuan suddenly turned his calm gaze to the rogue cultivator who had spoken, the cultivator dared not laugh anymore.
"Then, see you later."
Qi Yuan turned and left. Meng Yirou stared at his back and pouted.
This guy is interested in her.
He made no attempt to hide it; in every situation, whenever they met, he would say these things about getting closer to her.
But Meng Yirou didn't like him at all.
This person is not good-looking, and on top of that, they have character flaws. "...Uh!"
At this time.
The rogue cultivator who had been chuckling just moments before suddenly turned purple and collapsed to his knees in agony. Meng Yirou looked over and saw him suddenly spit out a large number of foul-smelling Gu worms from his mouth, blood flowing from his seven orifices.
Finally, his abdomen suddenly exploded!
Black blood was splattered all over the ground, and poisonous insects crawled out of it, causing many people nearby to retreat and stay away.
This rogue cultivator was at the sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage.
But why did Qi Yuan let him die such a tragic death?
Meng Yirou frowned.
She had no idea how Qi Yuan had managed to do it.
