Zhuge Jian, upon seeing this, was filled with admiration: "Worthy of the True King, just ntioning the lack of pharmacists and the dicine King Sect knocks on the door! Master Tong is utterly devoted to the True King, afaid he’d dare to even stage a rebellion if ordered!"
He found it strange. Recently, wasn’t Chen Shi beaten to death and turned into a corpse at ho to expel demons? After becoming a corpse, how did he subdue the dicine King Sect and bring such a great influence to the Heavenly Court?
Chen Shi said: "Master Tong, I have sothing to discuss."
The two of them ca to a quiet place. Chen Shi truthfully recounted the lack of pharmacists at the Red Mountain Hall and the nurous injuries among the talisman masters. Tong Qianshou said with a smile: "This matter is just a minor issue for us. Your great righteousness is unrequitable; henceforth, let our dicine King Sect handle the healing and alchemy affairs for Red Mountain Hall."
Chen Shi expressed his thanks.
Tong Qianshou said: "No need. Our dicine King Sect originally practiced dicine around Bozhou, a place rich in herbs. However, since our ancestral temple is on Qianyang Mountain, our dicine King Sect will move to Qianyang Mountain!"
After hesitating for a mont, he said: "Chen Shiyuan, is my inferior disciple Sang Xixi still alive?"
Chen Shi was taken aback: "Xixi hasn’t returned yet?"
Tong Qianshou shook his head and said: "She hasn’t returned. Didn’t she bravely sacrifice herself?"
Chen Shi laughed: "How could she bravely sacrifice herself? She is now the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Heavenly Pond Country, with a very high official position."
Tong Qianshou was dumbfounded, outright not knowing why this happened.
"This girl beca the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Heavenly Pond Ghost Country. Upon returning to the mortal world, I plan to pass on the sect leader position to her, making her the dicine King Sect Leader."
Tong Qianshou blinked, "What have I missed?"
Chen Shi rembered sothing and said to Tong Qianshou: "I need the dicine King Sect’s help to send a large number of people into the Heavenly Pond Country. I...ahem, I have so matters that need handling."
"I?" Tong Qianshou’s ears were sowhat dull.
Chen Shi tried to maintain a normal facial expression, attempting to make his smile appear less exaggerated.
"Before you stands the new King of the Heavenly Pond Country, the leader of 112 Ghost Clans, the eternal light of Yin Mountain’s Ten Thousand Great Mountains, Chen Shi, King Chen!"
Tong Qianshou was startled, finding it hard to believe.
When their dicine King Sect went to the underworld to gather dicine, didn’t everyone risk their lives? Of course, sotis they did really attach their heads to their waists.
In the Bozhou dicine King Sect, dozens of disciples die annually because of this!
In the Heavenly Pond Country, they are just the lowly Skull Ghost Clan, bullied by other ghost clans, constantly facing dangers, utterly lacking in status!
How did Chen Shi, of the Skull Ghost Clan in the Heavenly Pond Country, beco the King of the Heavenly Pond Country?
He recalled sothing else, what happened to the forr King of the Heavenly Pond Country?
Tong Qianshou’s heart twitched: "The capable people under King Chen must have secretly dispatched soone to remove the forr king, allowing him to ascend to the throne smoothly!"
In the following days, Tong Qianshou entered the Little Heavenly Realms, and upon seeing the scenes there, he couldn’t help but be shocked. He t other people from the Heavenly Court, inquiring around subtly, and indeed discovered that there were many experts around Chen Shi, further confirming his suspicions.
With a nervous heart, he found Chen Shi, stamring, and expressed his wish to join the Heavenly Court.
Zhuge Jian said to Chen Shi: "True King, at this opportune mont when the Heavenly Court is in need of people, I suggest not to be too selective."
Chen Shi glanced at Tong Qianshou, who was deeply anxious, and said: "Although I am old, my dical skills are undoubtedly second to none. Those imperial physicians in the Western Capital are like children in front of !"
Reluctantly, Chen Shi said: "Alright, let Master Tong enter the Heavenly Court, under the code na Pharmacist."
Tong Qianshou let out a sigh of relief, thinking: "Finally, I’ve entered. Even if I pass the sect leader position to my unfilial disciple Xixi, my status will be no lower than hers!"
He had his own plans.
In the past two years, the frequency of changes in the world was increasing, and evil spirits in the countryside were on the rise. Surviving with just the power of the dicine King Sect alone was very difficult.
If one day, an unforeseen event occurred, with the help of the Red Mountain Hall Talisman Master Association and the various experts of the Heavenly Court, along with the presence of the dicine King, it would be as steady as Tai Mountain!
"Also, our dicine King Sect has connections in the underworld as well." He thought secretly to himself.
The relocation of the Bozhou dicine King Sect to Qianyang Mountain would take so ti, so Tong Qianshou delegated this task to other deacons of the dicine King Sect. He then prepared fake-death spiritual dicine, set up a spirit hall and coffins, and had Shao Jing, Yu Tiancheng, Li Tianqing, and dozens of others lie in the coffins, take the fake-death spiritual dicine, and wait for the dicine to take effect.
"Don’t worry, once the dicine’s effect wears off, you will co back to life."
Tong Qianshou said, "When you et the Yin ssengers, do not panic. Money can make the ghosts turn the mill. We, the dicine King Sect, have experience in bribing the Yin ssengers!"
Everyone lay down, saying they weren’t nervous, but inside, they were extrely tense, hearts pounding wildly.
Their heartbeats quickened, eyelids grew heavy, and suddenly their hearts stopped beating. One by one, they appeared in the gloomy spirit hall, exclaiming in amazent.
Tong Qianshou also sat up from the coffin, his physical body still left in the coffin, saying solemnly: "Wait a mont, the Yin ssengers will be arriving! Prepare the paper money I gave you!"
Before long, a streak of yin energy flew over, a Yin ssenger piloting a small boat that floated like a river on yin energy arrived before them.
Tong Qianshou and Li Tianqing and the others displayed paper money infused with Incense Fire Qi, and the Yin ssenger, who belonged to the horse-faced ghost clan, upon seeing no one around, quietly accepted the paper money and said: "This is a one-ti thing."
Everyone was hooked into the boat and it carried them towards the Heavenly Pond Country.
Nearing the Heavenly Pond Capital, the boat halted.
Tong Qianshou led everyone off the boat, and the Yin ssenger vanished into a gust of yin wind.
Tong Qianshou guided them towards the capital, saying: "Co, let’s et the king!"
Soon after, in the Yin Mountain Heavenly Pond Capital, there were several dozen Skull Ghost Clans wandering around, curiously looking at everything, their mouths moving as if talking.
They even ran up to those high-ranking ghost clans, observing them as if examining rare species, repeatedly exclaiming in wonder.
"You all are walking too slowly!"
Tong Qianshou was sowhat dissatisfied, saying, "When will we reach the Royal Palace to see His Majesty?"
The ghost clans in the capital frowned at these little fellows, each possessing a considerable strength and possessing their Primordial Spirits!
However, was King Chen assembling these Skull Ghost Clans to build his own court faction?
Xiang Kun the Crown Prince looked at the Skull Ghost Clans heading towards the Royal Palace with a somber expression. Once Chen Shi establishes his own faction, his position will beco increasingly secure; in the future, seizing the throne will beco increasingly difficult!
"Your Highness, what should we do now?" a Ghost God by his side asked.
"Wait."
Xiang Kun the Crown Prince said softly, "As long as those elders are in the capital, it’s hard to act against him. With powerful figures like the big-headed ghost woman by his side, there’s no way to decisively act against him. We must wait for the perfect opportunity!"
His eyes flickered: "I have the patience for it, but other strong ghost clans likely do not. They will certainly act, attempting to kill Chen Shi! At that ti, the opportunity will appear!"
In Huangpo Village, Chen Shi, Granny Sha, and Chen Tang prepared and arrived again at the Yellow Earth Slope in the underworld.
Wu Qingyu watched them enter the underworld and softly said: "Though my husband is ticulous, he is bound to have oversights, and he’s inflexible. There are so many variables in the demon extraction process, it’s likely there will be errors. Please take good care of it."
Below Yellow Earth Slope, the massive shadow of Huodu slowly faded, diving into the underworld.
Wu Qingyu recalled the cyan ghost hand on Chen Shi’s chest, and a colossal, invincible figure appeared in front of her eyes. She sighed softly: "We started the demon extraction, not knowing if it’s good or bad. However, Little Ten is now an ordinary person, no longer your emperor. You can’t let my son remain in the underworld forever..."
