Soon after Jian Chen stated his identity, a powerful presence on par with Chaotic Pris radiated out from the depths of the Pill King clan. A First Heavenly Layer Chaotic Pri great elder of the Pill King clan had personally co to receive him. “The leader of the Tian Yuan clan has travelled here all the way from the Cloud Plane. Our Pill King clan welcos you warmly. Leader of the Tian Yuan clan, please co in, please co in...”
The great elder was an old man with white hair. Due to coming into contact with pills over long periods of ti, he possessed the heavy sll of pills, together with a unique scent that ca from a mixture of many dicinal materials.
After giving Jian Chen a simple greeting, he directly invited Jian Chen into the Pill King clan.
“A great elder is actually receiving him in person. Is the leader of the Tian Yuan clan really this important?”
“It’s already been a very long ti since we’ve left the clan, staying in here to study the Way of Alchemy. Our understanding of the Cloud Plane is still limited to a millennium ago. Perhaps another new organisation has appeared on the Cloud Plane during this millennium...”
......
...
With a great elder personally going out to receive him, the many Primordial realm elders of the Pill King clan imdiately took special note of this. Many of them were even very surprised.
However, Jian Chen was unable to hear the discussion between the Infinite Pri elders. He had already entered the depths of the Pill King clan under the great elder’s lead, arriving in front of a tower in the end.
“Please, leader of the Tian Yuan clan!” The great elder of the Pill King clan made a gesture of invitation towards Jian Chen.
Jian Chen did not set foot inside imdiately. Instead, he stopped in front of the tower, furrowing his brows slightly and studying the place. He said, “This should be a high quality god artifact.”
“You sure do have a good eye, leader of the Tian Yuan clan. The Alchemy Tower is indeed a high quality god artifact. Our ancestor paid an extrely great price to have it forged,” said the great elder of the Pill King clan as he smiled brightly and introduced enthusiastically to Jian Chen. However, he soon realised sothing and looked at Jian Chen with a pair of eyes filled with smiles. He said, “Leader of the Tian Yuan clan, you don’t have to worry at all. You’re the eighth successor of the Martial Soul Mountain, you have ties with the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng, and you’re the friend of the young war god of the God clan. Even if our Pill King clan was a hundred tis bolder, we would never even consider acting inappropriately towards a person like you.”
“Let alone the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng and the God clan, just the Martial Soul lineage alone is not sothing our Pill King clan can provoke.”
The great elder’s gaze towards Jian Chen was clearly filled with very great caution.
Jian Chen glanced at the great elder in surprise. He said, “I didn’t think your Pill King clan would understand so well.”
Hearing that, the great elder smiled bitterly. “That’s a funny joke, leader of the Tian Yuan clan. When you passed by planet Tianming back then, you kicked up a very great storm here, so basically any important figure on planet Tianming would know about you.”
“Please wait a mont, leader of the Tian Yuan clan. Our ancestor is currently refining a cauldron of pills. He’ll be done very soon.” In the end, the great elder invited Jian Chen into the Alchemy Tower and personally sat with Jian Chen to wait for the Azure Ink Grandmaster.
This wait lasted for four hours. The ancestor of the Pill King clan, the Asura Ink Grandmaster, finally appeared.
The Azure Ink Grandmaster was a First Heavenly Layer Grand Pri. He was extrely old in appearance, and he was extrely thin as well, basically just skin and bones. He seed like an old man who already had a foot in the grave.
The great elder clasped his fist towards the Azure Ink Grandmaster as soon as he appeared and backed away politely.
“Greetings from junior Jian Chen, the leader of the Tian Yuan clan.” Jian Chen stood up and bowed towards the Azure Ink Grandmaster, neither overly humble or rude.
“Hehehehe, the leader of the Tian Yuan clan has travelled such a vast distance from the Cloud Plane to planet Tianming just to visit this old man. I truly feel honoured.” The Azure Ink Grandmaster sat in the main seat and was extrely amicable.
“You’re too kind, grandmaster. With your lofty status, it’s my honour that you’re willing to see ...” Jian Chen said as he clasped his hands. After going through these pleasantries, he cut right to the chase. “Grandmaster, I’ll be honest. I’ve co today because I’m facing a problem. I’ve travelled all the way from the Cloud Plane just to ask you about so information, grandmaster.”
A strange light flashed through the Azure Ink Grandmaster’s eyes, but he was unfazed on the surface. “Then may I ask just what you wish to learn about from ? As long as I know about it, I’ll definitely tell you everything.”
“I wish to learn about the Sacred Blood Fruit of Ways. Grandmaster, do you happen to have any clues pointing to the Sacred Blood Fruit of Ways?” Jian Chen stared at the Azure Ink Grandmaster closely. He felt extrely nervous inside.
However, as soon as the Azure Ink Grandmaster heard the Sacred Blood Fruit of Ways, his face imdiately changed. Even his presence beca rather unstable, his thoughts thrown into a ss.
Jian Chen noticed his reaction and imdiately rejoiced inside as if he had grasped a sliver of hope amidst despair. He beca hopeful once more.
The Asure Ink Grandmaster must have known sothing about the Sacred Blood Fruit of Ways. It was even possible that he was in possession of it right now.
“Please tell about any clues leading to the Sacred Blood Fruit of Ways, grandmaster. You’ll definitely have my great gratitude,” Jian Chen said eagerly. He was extrely excited. The lord of the Heaven’s Link Peak had only told him to co here and try his luck. He did not guarantee the Azure Ink Grandmaster would definitely have clues leading to the Sacred Blood Fruit of Ways.
However, never did he think the Azure Ink Grandmaster would actually have so clues regarding the Sacred Blood Fruit of Ways.
Otherwise, he would have never reacted so violently. He behaved like the secret he had covered up strenuously had suddenly been completely divulged by soone else.
“Leader of the Tian Yuan clan, where did you learn about this? How do you know that I have clues leading to the Sacred Blood Fruit of Ways?” The Azure Ink Grandmaster asked with an ugly expression.
“Please forgive , but I can’t answer you regarding this, grandmaster.”
“You can’t tell ?” The Azure Ink Grandmaster shut his eyes slowly and murmured to himself, “I do know so clues leading to the Sacred Blood Fruit of Ways, but I’ve never told anyone about this secret, yet you’ve co all the way from the Cloud Plane to specially ask about any clues regarding the Sacred Blood Fruit of Ways. You must have been in possession of very precise information.”
“Don’t tell a supre expert peered through the heavenly secrets and deduced the matter that I tried so hard to hide?” The Azure Ink Grandmaster slowly opened his eyes and stared straight at Jian Chen. He said, “Across the Saints’ World, there aren’t a lot of people capable of sothing like that. I can even list them all. Leader of the Tian Yuan clan, did the first majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng tell you about this?”
Jian Chen stared at the Azure Ink Grandmaster rather blankly. It could be described as a complete coincidence. The Azure Ink Grandmaster just happened to be in possession of clues leading to the Sacred Blood Fruit of Ways, but he never expected the Azure Ink Grandmaster to fill in the blanks of the story by himself and directly draw a connection to the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng.
Jian Chen was at a loss as for how to react. He had no idea what to say.
But Jian Chen’s silence seed to beco a form of admission in the Azure Ink Grandmaster’s eyes. The Azure Ink Grandmaster let out a long sigh. “Forget it. Since you’ve been advised by the first majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng, I can forget about getting my hands on this Sacred Blood Fruit of Ways.” After a slight pause, the Azure Ink Grandmaster continued, “Leader of the Tian Yuan clan, I know where a Sacred Blood Fruit of Ways resides, but I won’t tell you the location for nothing. You need to give sothing in exchange.”
