Recalling past events, Shen Tianjun seed a bit emotional. He crossed his hands behind his back, gazing at the agar tree outside, and said, "This agar tree was originally just an ancient tree of the Shen Family, with no one knowing its other uses. Even Shen Family mbers thought its only feature was its slightly harder branches compared to ordinary wood. However, compared to wonder woods like Ice Silkworm Wood, this agarwood is not particularly hard, only slightly tougher than common steel, and no one imagined it had other uses."
"In the past, before Divine Doctor An Shiping entered the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates, he was chased and in despair until he fled to Shen Family Manor. It was my grandfather who saved An Shiping's life, forming a good bond with him. Later, An Shiping joined the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates, learned peerless dical skills, and beca a supre healer, returning again to Shen Family Manor." Shen Tianjun paused and looked at Ye Qing, saying, "And from that mont, Shen Family Manor was utterly transford."
"Oh?" Ye Qing asked in wonder, "What kind of transformation happened?"
"Divine Doctor An Shiping returned to Shen Family Manor, specifically found this agar tree, and revealed a trendous secret to us." Shen Tianjun chuckled, "But, now it's no longer such a secret."
"What exactly is the secret?" Handso Fatty Wang interrupted.
Ye Qing imdiately gave Handso Fatty Wang a glare. The chubby man shrugged and said, "What, can't I talk? This old man talks without breath; why can't he just say everything at once? Why make people ask like this?"
Seeing Shen Da displeased with Handso Fatty Wang, Ye Qing promptly slapped Handso Fatty Wang, saying, "Shut your mouth!"
"No human rights!" Handso Fatty Wang muttered a bit, indeed holding his tongue. He wasn't without perception; every Shen Family Manor mber could best him in a fight, and he dared not act too boldly here.
Shen Tianjun didn't mind. He looked at the agar tree and said, "This secret is now basically public knowledge, even you know it. The secret is that the agar tree can be used to make Ziyu Chenxiang Pill!"
Ye Qing was suddenly enlightened. He certainly knew about this; in fact, many knew Shen Family's Ziyu Chenxiang Pill was primarily made from the fruits of the agar tree. However, he was hearing for the first ti the actual origin of the Ziyu Chenxiang Pill.
"At that ti, Divine Doctor An Shiping was already renowned for his dical skills. To repay my grandfather's life-saving grace, he personally traveled to Shen Family Manor, used the fruits of the agar tree to create Ziyu Chenxiang Pill, and left the formula at Shen Family Manor." Shen Tianjun spoke softly, "It was this Ziyu Chenxiang Pill that propelled Shen Family Manor to its present stature today!"
Ye Qing was shocked, never expecting Shen Family Manor's developnt was tied to Divine Doctor An Shiping. He realized he knew so little about the events decades ago.
"Back then, Divine Doctor An Shiping felt it was not enough to repay my grandfather's grace. He particularly carved off eight segnts of Ziyu Chenxiang Pill's branch to create eight Divine Doctor's Orders." Shen Tianjun pointed to the Divine Doctor's Order in Ye Qing's hand, saying, "These Divine Doctor's Orders were given to eight individuals who had once shown kindness to An Shiping. Moreover, An Shiping promised wherever they went, as long as they held a Divine Doctor's Order and the request wasn't heinously immoral, Divine Doctor An Shiping would help them unconditionally."
"Really?" Ye Qing's eyes widened. This ant the Divine Doctor's Order he held was incredibly rare. Knowing that fifty years ago, during Divine Doctor An Shiping's era, he was undoubtedly supre, even Twelve Green Halls and Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance respected him. His promise was no trivial matter.
"Originally, these eight Divine Doctor's Orders were handed to the eight benefactors of Divine Doctor An Shiping, but later so events led to their gradual spread. Until eventually, everyone sought to seize these eight Divine Doctor's Orders, desiring An Shiping's promise." Shen Tianjun sighed gently and said, "The eight Divine Doctor's Orders stirred quite a commotion in Jianghu. Although Divine Doctor An Shiping wished to change the situation, due to his original promise, he couldn't personally seek the Orders, thus was unable to intervene. Fortunately, the eight Divine Doctor's Orders were later recovered by An Shiping and sealed aside. Sadly, before his demise, his two apprentices quarrelled, seemingly getting the Orders separately. Unexpectedly, after fifty years, the Divine Doctor's Order resurfaced in the world!"
Ye Qing glanced at the Divine Doctor's Order in his hand, amazed by its history. Listening to Shen Tianjun stirred strong emotions in him. During An Shiping's ti, a small invitation could disrupt the martial world, reflecting Divine Doctor An Shiping's vast influence.
However, regardless of his past influence, it's all bygone now. Divine Doctor An Shiping is no more, leaving Ye Qing pondering the current significance of holding a Divine Doctor's Order.
"What use does the Divine Doctor's Order have now?" Ye Qing inquired.
"It is imnsely valuable!" Shen Tianjun stated, "For the eight Divine Doctor's Orders relate to Divine Doctor An Shiping's legacy inheritance!"
"What? What inheritance?" Ye Qing questioned, wondering if he had misheard.
"The legacy inheritance ans Divine Doctor An Shiping's true teachings!" Shen Tianjun explained.
Ye Qing puzzled, "Didn't he pass his dical skills onto his two apprentices? Why the legacy inheritance?"
"No!" Shen Tianjun shook his head, "His two apprentices' dical skills were far inferior to his. Divine Doctor An Shiping never fully taught them. He considered neither apprentice worthy to inherit his legacy, so he left behind his teachings, intending them for future successors."
"Truly?" Ye Qing gazed at the Divine Doctor's Order, asking, "Holding this, one can inherit his legacy?"
"Not that simple, I fear." Shen Tianjun replied, "There are eight Divine Doctor's Orders; possessing one does not directly entitle you to the legacy. I reckon other trials await. Nonetheless, having a Divine Doctor's Order signifies you qualify to take on the challenge!"
Ye Qing was suddenly enlightened, discovering the Divine Doctor's Order's significance. It indeed appeared to be a splendid item, linking to Divine Doctor An Shiping's legacy inheritance. Thus, the one leaving the Divine Doctor's Order for him must be Bai Li Xi because Ning Qianshu's people definitely wouldn't be so gracious.
"What about dicine King Mountain?" Handso Fatty Wang curiously asked alongside, "You've talked so long without ntioning dicine King Mountain. How exactly was the mountain sealed?"
"After explaining Divine Doctor's Order, of course, we speak of dicine King Mountain!" Shen Tianjun narrated, "dicine King Mountain was where Divine Doctor An Shiping resided. From all over the world, he gathered rare herbs on the mountain, creating a treasure trove of herbal dicine. Rare herbs could be found on dicine King Mountain. In An Shiping's lifeti, anyone could freely gather herbs from dicine King Mountain, as he placed no restrictions. However, no one behaved audaciously on dicine King Mountain during his lifeti; those visiting were cautious and only took necessary herbs, refraining from disturbing other things on dicine King Mountain."
"But after Divine Doctor An Shiping's passing, circumstances altered dramatically. Many herbs on dicine King Mountain were invaluable treasures. While in life, An Shiping commanded global respect, his absence rendered those herbs susceptible to theft. An Shiping worried about this issue, thus before death, he sealed entire dicine King Mountain with a great formation!"
"A great formation!?" Ye Qing and Handso Fatty Wang widened their eyes, questioning what kind of formation could seal a whole mountain?
"Indeed, a great formation." Shen Tianjun stated, "Similar to Shen Family Manor's gate-holding Stone Formation, yet grander, enveloping dicine King Mountain entirely. Outsiders cannot enter dicine King Mountain from outside. Attempting intrusion leads to losing one's way inside. Lucky ones erge elsewhere; unlucky ones beco lost to starvation. Hence, over the years, no one dares intrude dicine King Mountain, nor has anyone entered it!"
Ye Qing finally understood why dicine King Mountain was sealed—it was locked by a formation. Tricks like Qin Dunjia are indeed marvelous, capable of sealing an entire mountain with a decision. The wisdom of ancestors is truly remarkable.
"Wait a minute." Handso Fatty Wang suddenly said, "You ntioned Divine Doctor An Shiping placed a great formation on dicine King Mountain, making entrance impossible. Are there no others skilled in formations in this world? Can't all experts together break his formation?"
Ye Qing also looked at Shen Tianjun, pondering Handso Fatty Wang's question which was indeed worthy of investigation. Knowing Shen Tianjun's deep proficiency in formations and the existence of Heavenly Master Lin Xuan Yue in Twelve Green Halls, supposedly a Taoist Sect top figure, shouldn't he be able to break Divine Doctor An Shiping's formation?
"Though many understand formations, none can break this one!" Shen Tianjun stated, "Because this formation was brought by Divine Doctor An Shiping from Heaven Earth Man Three Gates, created by Guiguzi himself. Across the world, besides Guiguzi's resurrection, none can breach this great formation!"
"Guiguzi!" Ye Qing exclaid, finally comprehending Shen Tianjun's words. Recognizing Guiguzi, a Great Saint of the Taoist Sect and pinnacle figure, leaving behind a formation that posthumous generations truly can't unravel.
