Chapter 497: Chapter 497: Return to West Wind City
In the early morning, the Alchemy Conference began as scheduled. Jiang Xiaobai and the others had received Mu Qingyu’s message, and it was time to leave.
This time, Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t be a spectator, leaving Lin Zi, the little girl, to enjoy the spectacle.
Within a single day, Lin Zi had ingratiated herself so effectively with Kong Yuhuai that she had become his friend, inspiring admiration and envy even from a flirtatious playboy like Ao Cheng. Ao Cheng openly expressed his intention to visit Hong and the others back at Tian YuanChen when the time came.
After finding Kong Yuhuai with his group from Five Lotus Mountain, Jiang Xiaobai took a look around and found it uninteresting, deciding to leave.
Suddenly, members of the Medicine King Sect blocked his path.
Wenwen looked at Jiang Xiaobai and said, “Well, well, you made us run around in circles last time!”
At that moment, Jiang Xiaobai felt a slight headache.
He assumed that after his previous encounter with Wenwen at the auction, he would never see them again. Now, unexpectedly, they had come into contact once more.
And it seemed that Wenwen had business with him.
Sure enough, Wenwen began, “Let’s set aside other things for now. I want to ask you, do you still have that special medicinal ingredient we obtained last time?”
“What do you want it for?”
Jiang Xiaobai asked in surprise, “Didn’t you get a lot of it before?”
“We did have a lot, but…you know, alchemists need a lot of materials to research a new type of elixir. We’re running low.”
“And we estimate that it’s going to take some more time to complete our research. We could’ve spent more time looking for the materials ourselves, but there’s been an emergency involving someone whose bloodline power is almost exhausted. We’re considering whether we should try using that ingredient.”
Wenwen then explained the details of the situation.
A highly skilled individual from the Sacred City had heard about the Medicine King Sect’s research into the elixir related to bloodline power and hastily approached them.
The deal offered was highly enticing.
However, because of some unknown problem, his descendant’s bloodline power was continuously draining. The only solution was to see if their elixir under research could help.
But now, they had almost run out of the original materials and the specific formula for the elixir hadn’t yet been developed.
The entire Medicine King Sect was in a panic. They ran into Jiang Xiaobai, disguised as the Void Prince, who Wenwen decided to ask for help.
Hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai squinted: “Are you saying that this person’s bloodline power is continuously draining?”
“Yes, to be precise, his bloodline power is constantly leaking out. If this situation isn’t stopped, the consequences could be fatal!”
Wenwen hastily spoke, “Jiang Xiaobai, we are no stranger to each other, it’s all due to fate, can you help us?”
“I can certainly help. But your problem is, according to your description, the situation of this person is not something that can be solved by the elixir you mentioned.”
Jiang Xiaobai answered with indifference.
After all, his bloodline power was constantly draining. The essence of the elixir was to enhance the awakening of one’s bloodline power. However, the predicament was, you must have bloodline power in the first place!
Its effect cannot work because it cannot stop the speed of the loss of bloodline power!
Upon hearing these words, Wenwen was stunned.
“That’s impossible, this elixir’s effect should be able to…”
“But you cannot stop her bloodline power from draining out.”
Jiang Xiaobai said calmly, “Fine, I can help you. But not right now. Give this elixir to that person. It should be able to stem the tide for some time.”
Jiang Xiaobai then handed Wenwen an elixir.
Strangely enough, the effect of this elixir was to lock the bloodline power. Jiang Xiaobai had prepared it just in case there were problems during the awakening of the bloodline power of Ao Yan and Ao City.
He possessed the Old Lord’s Alchemy Technique, which contained infinite knowledge since elixirs were also used to save people. Every skilled alchemist is a miraculous doctor.
To treat the root cause of a disease, you must know a vast range of illnesses.
So Jiang Xiaobai deeply understood that while undergoing constant breakthroughs in bloodline power, there’s also a certain probability that bloodline power could present problems!
The influencing factors could be related to one’s own cultivation level and environmental circumstances.
The person Wenwen referred to probably ran into an accident during the process of his bloodline power breakthrough.
And situations like this were pretty common, otherwise wouldn’t bloodline power be invincible?
Everyone could pass down their bloodline power!
Looking at the elixir in her hand, Wenwen felt as though she was in a dream.
She had only asked Jiang Xiaobai if he could provide more of the spiritual medicine, but instead, he had given her an elixir?
Wenwen understood that they, the Medicine King Sect, had promised the expert from the Sacred City that they could treat this particular condition. If they couldn’t provide a solution, the consequences were unpredictable!
She had no other choice but to take it back with her and give it a shot.
“Thank you. This is my communication token, for any future contact.”
Jiang Xiaobai nodded without uttering a word. Then he went to find Kong Yuhuai and took the time to guide him on alchemy techniques.
Even though it seemed like a last-minute cramming effort, even minor guidance from Jiang Xiaobai, with his profound technique in alchemy, profited Kong Yuhuai greatly and significantly boosted his abilities!
Even if he couldn’t secure an impressive ranking in the Alchemy Conference, he would still make some progress.
After all, they were brothers, right?
“I’m leaving, Saintess Lin Zi. Can I use your teleportation array?” Jiang Xiaobai asked Lin Zi.
Lin Zi nodded, having one of the elders of Zijing Pavilion help Jiang Xiaobai and his people to leave.
Meanwhile, she remained behind, waiting expectantly for Kong Yuhuai’s alchemy contest!
…
When Jiang Xiaobai and the others appeared in West Wind City through the teleportation array, they immediately headed to the Northwest the An Family.
At this time, the An Family was bustling.
All forces in the Eastern Domain that received the news came with their people, while those from the Sacred City would wait at the entrance of the secret realm.
However, this situation had nothing to do with Jiang Xiaobai since they would only depart for the secret realm tomorrow. He wanted to seize this time to improve himself.
Before sculpturing his soul, Jiang Xiaobai needed to go to the Martial God Space to fully consume his spiritual power.
In the familiar stone chamber, Jiang Xiaobai checked his points.
More than a thousand, enough to exchange for a Law’s Power. In this way, if the task is completed on time, he will have five Laws’ Power!
Only two Laws’ Power were missing to reach the final seven Laws’ Power!
He was on the brink of achieving this!
“Well, let’s continue then. But I now need to confront stronger opponents to challenge my strength.”
“Let’s see how much improvement I can achieve after the compression and refinement of the original spirit.”
Then, he chose to fight against a pinnacle power that had survived a tribulation.
With the match’s successful establishment, Jiang Xiaobai saw his opponent.
Upon seeing who he was, Jiang Xiaobai’s mouth twitched.
