I Have Medicine

Chapter 312 - Provisional Team

These eight people were comprised of five men and three women. The men were gallantly handsome, the women were beautiful and eye-catching, and their temperaments were all out of the ordinary. They didn’t wear blood-red changpaos like the Blood Transformation Palace Master. Instead, some were scholarly with elegance and grace, and some were dignified and refined like the daughters of a noble house. There were others who were as splendid as peaches and plums, or confident and at ease like the wind. They had the comportments of the skilled.

After coming inside, they all took their seats under the command of the Blood Transformation Palace Master.

After that, these men and women looked at Gongyi Tianheng. They smiled and said:

“This is our new little junior sect brother?”

“Sure enough, his outstanding appearance has defeated all of us!”

“In the future, this little junior sect brother will receive our master’s favor, but he’ll be pulling in my senior sect sisters, too.”

“Such charm, such innate talent — I’m afraid that all the women in the world will be drawn to him like rushing ducks! At that time, don’t forget to leave some for your senior sect brothers, okay?”

There were a few teasing comments. The group was friendly.

Overall, they were being very polite and intimate.

Tianheng also greeted these seniors one by one.

The Blood Transformation Palace Master solemnly said: “Later on, you guys will have to protect Tianheng. If he has any matters or requests, you can’t just watch on the side with folded arms.”

After the Blood Transformation disciples were done messing around, they nevertheless heeded the words of their master. At this moment, they respectfully replied: “Yes, master. We disciples will keep this in mind! We will certainly cherish this junior as our own kin!”

The Blood Transformation Palace Master heard what was said, and nodded slightly.

Tianheng spoke in a warm voice: “Having joined the Blood Transformation Palace Hall, my glories are the palace’s glories, and my losses are the palace’s losses. If this disciple has any future prospects, I certainly won’t forget my senior sect brothers and sisters. Nor will I forget the friendship of my esteemed teacher.”

When these words were uttered, the atmosphere naturally became even better.

It was out of the question to say that there were any deep friendships upon meeting everyone just now. Didn’t they agree to protect this prodigy because they valued this prodigy’s potential? Tianheng was someone who adhered to etiquette and decency. Naturally, if both sides were happy, then everyone was happy.

Afterwards, each of these eight seniors brought their own introductory gifts.

It was quite interesting. These introductory gifts were spirit crystals and profound crystals. The former were readily given at numbers ranging from several tens of thousands to upwards of a hundred thousand. The latter were in the dozens to a little over a hundred. All of them were rated as big expenses.

This likely stemmed from the worry that this little junior was a lonesome newcomer. It wasn’t easy to handle matters when a person didn’t have any money. Thus, each of them dipped into their own pockets to supplement his allowance. As for other objects, presenting such things wasn’t necessarily useful. Later on, when he needed their social connections, then it wouldn’t be too late to lend a hand.

Although Tianheng had an abundance of wealth, he received this goodwill, too.

Soon after, a delicate and charming girl took the initiative to speak: “I’ve heard that little junior sect brother came from the Peripheral Continents?”

Tianheng startled, but he quickly nodded his head: “That’s right. It was that place.”

Then, a senior sect brother who appeared somewhat straightforward sighed and said: “Being able to walk out from the Road of Heaven’s Chosen, my junior sect brother isn’t easy to handle.”

Another gentle and reserved senior sect brother opened his mouth: “Our little junior is extraordinary. In the Road of Heaven’s Chosen, he could set off huge winds and waves. Even a prodigy from a bronze-ranked organization was served a loss in this junior’s hands. How unlucky. Nowadays, that fellow doesn’t have a bit of face!”

These seniors seemed to have an understanding of Tianheng’s history. During their chats, they praised Tianheng:

“What does that prodigy from Great Zhao amount to? It’s a mere bronze-ranked organization. Even if it has prodigies, they can’t compare to the prodigies of our Ten Ultimates Sect!”

“What’s more, isn’t little junior an all-star prodigy, too?”

“That guy is considered lucky. If anything had happened, I would’ve ground his bones to dust for little junior’s revenge!”

“It isn’t easy for Great Zhao to raise a prodigy. Now that he lost under little junior’s hands, it seems that their luck has run out — But who forced them to go around asking for trouble?”

“Even if they come looking for little junior, they’ll only have their faces stomped on again. Hahahaha!”

While Tianheng listened, his gaze faintly stirred.

Sure enough, a silver-ranked organization wasn’t ordinary. Perhaps, it had already used all kinds of methods to investigate his origins the moment he revealed his outstanding talents during the testing.

It was just that he didn’t know whether they had only checked if he came from the Peripheral Continents, or the Southern Expanse’s Cangyun Empire specifically. But it could be assumed that it was the former. After all, there were few people who could come out from the Roads of Heaven’s Chosen, and there were fewer who recognized him. And not only did they need to recognize him, they also needed to know his inside information. Thus, the number of people would’ve been incredibly small… What’s more, everyone had scattered. It wasn’t known where they could find these people.

Tianheng wasn’t very worried. Right now, he only needed to improve his own strength as quickly as possible. He smiled the moment he heard his seniors’ words, but he didn’t say much.

Eventually, the time had come.

After the agreed-upon two hours was the apprenticeship ceremony. The metaphorical bell had rung.

The Blood Transformation Palace Master suddenly stood up: “Tianheng, follow your teacher to the ceremony hall.” He gestured to the other disciples, “You guys come along, too. Give your little junior sect brother some face.”

All of the disciples said: “Yes, master!”

Not long after, everyone arrived at the ceremony hall.

The size of this ceremony hall could accommodate several tens of thousands of people. In the back of the hall, there was a statue that was entirely blood-red. Carved into it was a young man with an extremely outstanding appearance.

This person held one hand up to the sky and pressed one hand down to the ground. Both palms were bloodied, and the red robes on his body seemed to be dyed with fresh blood. Depicted behind this statue were numerous rare birds that and ferocious beasts. They spread their wings or bared their fangs, looked up to the sky, and madly trilled and roared!

This was when the Ten Ultimates Palace Halls were founded. The Blood Transformation Palace Hall’s first-generation palace master had refined the <<Endless Blood of the Divine Body>> until it had reached perfection. He had advanced to that most profound realm, and was unimaginably formidable.

Now, there was only this carved statue, but people didn’t dare to look upon it too closely. After looking at it for less than ten minutes, one’s mind would be seized. It was as if endless blood lights immediately rushed into their mind, causing one to go insane.

The Blood Transformation Palace Master’s expression was solemn and staid as he peacefully sat down in the main seat.

Tianheng stood on the side with the other few Blood Transformation disciples, and quietly waited for the arrival of anyone else who was going to take part.

It didn’t take long for people to walk inside with large strides one after another.

Apart from the palace masters, everyone had unfamiliar faces. However, the imposing auras of each person were uncommon. They wore all kinds of apparel. Quite a few people were wearing the same robes, letting others know at a glance which palace halls they came from.

Before they knew it, the entire ceremony hall had been nearly filled to capacity.

An all-star prodigy was apprenticing himself to a master. Many palace masters as well as disciples in the sect who hadn’t gone into secluded cultivation had been brought out. They wanted to commit the face of this all-star prodigy to memory.

At the very least, so long as this all-star prodigy could continuously improve, he would be one of the most important and well-received people among the entire Ten Ultimates Sect’s younger generation for a long time to come!

His position wouldn’t be below that of those prodigies who had already been meticulously raised for many years. After a long time had passed, perhaps his position would rise even higher!

The ceremony began.

Tianheng walked forwards with stable and firm steps. Facing the serene Blood Transformation Palace Master, he kowtowed three times, prostrated nine times, and observed the proper etiquette to officially become an apprentice. He had a clear understanding in his heart. These people who came might say that they wanted to remember him and that they valued him, but actually, many of them were afraid of him. They viewed him as a key target for observation.

Prior to becoming an apprentice, the other nine palace halls welcomed him into Ten Ultimates Sect in name only. And once he became a Blood Transformation Palace Hall disciple, he shared a competitive relationship with the other nine palace halls.

But what did this matter?

Tianheng unhurriedly kneeled down to bow, and steadfastly stood back up again.

His prostrations and salutes were already completed.

The Blood Transformation Palace Master laughed boisterously in a clear voice: “Good! Good! Good! My Blood Transformation Palace Hall has obtained this fine apprentice. I’ll hold a grand feast for three days in celebration! From this day forth, my apprentice, Gongyi Tianheng, is my ninth direct-line disciple! Eldest apprentice, come here and tell your junior sect brother what resources he can get.”

Tianheng naturally stood respectfully on the side as he listened.

Similarly, the other palace halls also learned what kind of treatment this all-star prodigy would receive.

Just then, a scholarly young man walked out. A picture scroll-like object was held in his hand. He stepped forward, and lightly pulled it open, unfurling a long roll of woven silk.

“Youngest junior sect brother can obtain the following resources.”

“Every month, one thousand spirit crystals and three profound crystals—”

“Every month, ten sets of martial robes—”

“Every month, he may choose one hundred types of human-level medicinal pills for a total of one hundred bottles—”

“Every month, he may choose one type of golden-level medicinal pill for for a total of one bottle—”

“Every month, he may choose one thousand stalks of human-level medicinal herbs and ten stalks of golden-level medicinal herbs—”

“Every year, he may choose three stalks of spirit medicine with twenty percent spirituality—”

“Every year, he may choose three pieces of spirit weapons with twenty percent spirituality—”

“He will have one mountain peak with the height of three hundred meters and one plot of land with a range of five hundred kilometers. The mountain peak and plot of land may be chosen arbitrarily—”

“He will have a plot of woodlands with a range of ten kilometers, chosen arbitrarily—”

“He will have one ore vein, chosen arbitrarily—”

“He will have three mountain springs and one spirit lake—”

“He will have three one-thousand-person courtyards, ten one-hundred-person courtyards, and one hundred ten-person courtyards—”

“He will have one ten-meter-wide blood pond—”

“He will have three hundred battle slaves—”

“He will have three branches of servile races comprised of five hundred people—”

“He will have one superior spirit beast, two high spirit beasts, ten mid spirit beasts, and one hundred low spirit beasts—”

“He will have…”

That scholarly young man read each point out loud one after another. His articulate voice was powerful and resounding.

All of the benefits given to Tianheng, all of the resources he could acquire — Everything was arranged clearly and distinctly before the people in the palace hall.

Still, these were merely the material objects he obtained. There were other benefits among these. For example, the qualifications for studying martial skills, for comprehending the path of martial arts, and for receiving the pointers of the Blood Transformation Palace Master. In addition, there were numerous other benefits that couldn’t be quantified, but were secretly real. All of it flowed through Tianheng’s consciousness one by one, and were memorized by him.

All of these things would be greatly advantageous to his future!

And from these mere basic benefits, many disciples of each palace hall could see that Tianheng was valued immensely. Moreover, the strength of Ten Ultimates Sect was truly deep and immeasurable!

It could be said that what Gongyi Tianheng, this sole individual, could obtain within ten years might quickly overtake the foundations of Qingyun Sect — Of course, this only referred to the quantity of good things.

Tianheng’s gaze turned faintly heavy. In the depths of those bottomless eyes ignited an inferno of ambition!

The ceremony didn’t persist for long. Once everything that needed to be said was said, it was time for the grand feast. Numerous disciples gathered together to eat and drink.

As the man of the hour, Tianheng symbolically met with the others. Then, he wanted to rush his affairs.

For instance, he wanted to select the battle slaves and members of the servile races. He also wanted to build up a provisional team… After that, he could go and find his little pharmacist, Ah Zuo.
