I Have Medicine

Chapter 300 - Big Brother Appears

At this time, it was already the final day. It was close to midnight.

In less than two hours, the Roads of Heaven’s Chosen would close.

On that narrow road, which had already been engulfed in darkness, it appeared that something was approaching from far away.

A type of “qi” silently extended outwards. Like flowing water, it was extremely faint and light as it passed by. Yet, it also seemed to command everyone’s attention.

Before anyone could get a clear look, they already sensed a threat that welled up from the bottom of their hearts.

In a split second, a word poured forth in the minds of many organizations’ members:

— Prodigy!

Because only a prodigy, no matter what realm he had and no matter how strong he was, could use his imposing aura to terrify others without even showing himself.

And right now, this prodigy’s imposing aura was even more frightening. Just then, they only sensed a bit of it, and their bodies had broken out in goosebumps all over. Likewise, a chill suddenly crept across their backs.

Subconsciously, numerous people held their breaths.

They thought about the news they heard just now, and couldn’t help their interests rising by a hundred twenty percent in this Southern Road prodigy who wiped the floor with the Third Prince’s face.

There were also ranks among prodigies.

The Third Prince was already an outstanding prodigy, so could another prodigy with even more robust potential appear within those insignificant lands on the periphery? What kind of prodigy was that?

Gradually, a shadow finally emerged.

That tall young man slowly walked out one step at a time.

However, although his pace was measured, neither fast nor slow, he seemed to appear in front of the crowd of martial artists in the blink of an eye.

Each of the young man’s steps was steady, but with every step, the aura of his body would be released and restrained in turns. It was like a gigantic beast was breathing in the ambient qi of heaven and earth. A spirited light shined within his pair of eyes as if a great sun was stored inside of them. It was like a halo of stars was suspended above his Tianfu Acupoint. His long hair draped loosely over his shoulders, and moved freely without any wind. The expression on his face was serene, but it seemed to contain a bottomless well. It was secluded, cold, and deep. Others weren’t able to peer through his thoughts, and their hearts suddenly felt an automatic feeling of wariness.

Contrary to expectations, his appearance came second.

His temperament had already put everything on display.

An unusual prodigy, but this prodigy was indeed very powerful.

The strength of a prodigy didn’t lie on the surface, but in the qi emissions one released when opponents didn’t conceal themselves. How cryptic and obscure those qi emissions were was how unfathomable and enigmatic that prodigy was.

This young prodigy with a handsome complexion was wearing a sapphire-blue brocade robe. His bearing was graceful like that of an aristocratic family’s precious young master, and he wielded the forbearance of a large and influential clan. However, when such a noble young master simply walked out, it seemed like each step was treading upon boundless bloodstains. Every time a foot was raised, the turbid mud would be upturned. And with every downward stamp, countless screaming and piteous souls would be crushed under heel. Endless strands of resentful energy entwined upon itself.

With an imposing aura such as this, he certainly had killed many people. When carefully scrutinizing him, one could also detect that in the depths of this prodigy’s brilliant, sun-like eyes were threads of blood as thickly weaved as a silk screen. It tethered and bound that sun, transforming that nascent, bright existence into an eclipse of blood.

It was extremely strange, but it still expressed a sense of magnificent beauty.

This young prodigy walked out from the narrow road. Soon after, he lifted his eyes.

Even more people were able to get a clear look at his eyes. At this moment, where were the wisps of blood in his eyes? Where was the brilliant, sun-like resplendence? His pupils were clearly pitch-black. Although his eyes were still deep, they weren’t like before, where a glance would cause a person to suck in a breath of cold air.

It was just that all of the martial artists didn’t believe that what they saw just now was a mere illusion.

Indeed, what this young prodigy brought people was more horror than awe and reverence. For a short while, the members of these organizations forgot that they had wanted to rope him in.

As before, that young prodigy walked unhurriedly. And in a brief period of time, he had already traveled several kilometers away. His body technique seemed to become even faster, and soon, his silhouette was about to disappear —

At this very moment, the numerous forces suddenly snapped out of it.

— The prodigy was about to leave?

Wait a second!

They naturally understood that if this prodigy was received, this would mean making an enemy out of the Great Zhao Empire and the Third Prince. However, for large organizations, while iron-ranked ones might give up after weighing the pros and cons, the somewhat stronger organizations among the bronze ranks wouldn’t refuse entry to a prodigy just because of a Great Zhao Empire.

Very quickly, quite a few members of bronze-ranked forces went out, and dashed towards that young prodigy’s direction. In the sky, some protective powerhouses followed behind, and their attentions likewise fell upon that prodigy.

Some powerhouses had the same intentions as that tall and sturdy man from Heavenly Saber Sect, and flew ahead to block that young prodigy’s path. However, due to that tall and sturdy man’s actions, the other powerhouses were all on guard. Each of them kept a close watch on those nearby, and prevented them from separating to stop that prodigy.

The powerhouses’ hearts burned passionately, but they quickly calmed down.

After exchanging glances with each other, they came to a decision:

“Fine. Let’s test the younger generations’ capabilities.”

“Whichever organization whose junior can bring that man back will be the organization that gets to receive him!”

“Then, it’s settled. If anyone goes back on their word, everyone else will put an end to it!”

“Prodigies are hard to come by. This prodigy can defeat another prodigy, so let him choose by himself!”

Hence, the numerous powerhouses decided to allow each of the organizations’ younger generations below them to rope in the young prodigy. They used all sorts of methods to let those younger generations know about this mission. The juniors needed to use their best efforts to complete it.

— Whoever could bring that prodigy back would certainly be richly rewarded!

Indeed. Though it meant making enemies of an organization with an equivalent rank, there were countless forces on the Central Continent that rose and fell. Even though it was common to see entire families exterminated in a single day, how could they give up just because of this trifling danger?

A peak Xiantian prodigy could nearly kill another prodigy who was two small realms higher. Among the first class prodigies, he was the best of the best!

If such a personage could mature without any hitches, then…

There was even a ninety percent possibility of letting his own organization advance in rank to become a silver-ranked organization!

However, after an hour, those younger generations returned one after another.

The eyes of those who returned each carried feelings of dismay.

For the numerous bronze-ranked organizations’ powerhouses, their hearts chilled, and they became slightly nervous: “What, what happened?”

Those younger generations all sighed: “We actually couldn’t find that prodigy…”

As it turned out, when those juniors hurriedly rushed out, they could only see that there were countless martial artists in the town ahead. There were jumbled crowds with people coming and going.

Yet, when they passed through to check for that prodigy’s qi emissions, they couldn’t find hide nor hair of that prodigy. With no other choice, they were forced to return and confess their failings to the powerhouses.

The powerhouses of numerous bronze-ranked organizations merely shook their heads. Disappointment filled their eyes.

In their hearts, they looked upon that prodigy even more highly. Unfortunately, it would be extremely difficult for them to receive him. Although they also had plans in mind, if they were to go searching personally, it would all depend on luck. But they knew that this hope was exceedingly uncertain. It couldn’t be taken seriously.

At this time, everyone who could come out of the four roads already came out. The Roads of Heaven’s Chosen had closed. The members of numerous organizations parted ways. Each of them was busy.

This major event, which occurred only once every three hundred years, had come to an end.

Gongyi Tianheng draped a cloak over his shoulders. His entire person was concealed within a pitch-black shadow. He slowly walked into a crowd like the most ordinary of martial artists who drifted aimlessly.

At this time, he stood in front of a massive notice board, and read through what could’ve been real or fake information. After that, he turned around, and entered a nearby restaurant.

There were countless martial artists in the world. Those with strange dispositions and those who wore disguises were also countless. Tianheng was only wearing a cloak that prevented people from seeing his appearance, which didn’t attract anyone’s attention — This style of dress was truly too common.

Naturally, no one noticed that he would softly brush his hand against his heart every so often.

Tianheng would always wear a smiling expression, but at this time, he couldn’t bring himself to smile.

It was only because of one thing.

He had lost his little pharmacist.

A few days ago, Tianheng fought with the Third Prince. At the final juncture, the Third Prince tossed out an unanticipated trump card. Originally, he was about to suffer a disaster, but at the critical moment, his little pharmacist Gu Zuo dashed over and took the move on his behalf. At that moment, Tianheng’s hundreds of calculations all turned to nothing. Unexpectedly, for the first time, his heart’s instincts urged him on, and he erupted with untold potential to beat up that Third Prince like a dead dog.

After that, the Third Prince relied on his many men to escape. Tianheng’s state of mind also calmed down somewhat, and he sensed a wave of sharp pain coming from his own heart. At once, he recalled the guardian contract that bound him and Gu Zuo back then. In the end, he didn’t chase after the Third Prince any longer. He hurriedly left, and studied this matter.

Fortunately, with this contract, Tianheng’s heart only hurt for a moment. He quickly recovered his tranquility, and didn’t suffer any feelings of a backlash to vomit blood. He realized that Gu Zuo had been met with a small disaster, but there weren’t any worries of dying.

Currently, Tianheng restrained the layers of wrath in his heart, which made his imposing aura heavy. Compared to before, even more feelings of oppression surged out, but deep in his heart, he was somewhat comforted.

So long as Gu Zuo’s life wasn’t at risk, Tianheng would always be able to retrieve his little pharmacist — But in order to reach this goal as soon as possible, he definitely couldn’t rely on just the help of a bronze-ranked organization.
