The Brilliant Fighting Master

There was an unimpressive rock mountain in the Natural Law School. Piled up by rocks, it was far from an agreeable landscape. It also didn’t have abundant spirits of the universe.

However, this was where the center of the school, the Palace of the Natural Law, was located.

The Palace of the Natural Law was situated inside the rock mountain. There was no entry from the outside.

The Medicine Elder came in a hurry. His elder token had started to radiate when he was about five meters away from the rock mountain. And then he vanished.

He appeared in the Palace of the Natural Law in a second.

Although called a palace, it was actually a vast dark space, with a giant tree emitting a green radiance, so that one could only vaguely see.

The Medicine Elder was looking at the tree with a serious expression. He didn’t even dare breathe too hard.

There were holes of all sizes on it. In each of them, there was an independent world. That was where the grand supreme elders and the leader of the school lived.

The Medicine Elder took out a yellow triangular spell, but on a second thought, he changed it to a red one.

The spell started to burn in his hand. At the same time, some tree holes were lit up.

Soon, some people surrounded by an aura of bright light appeared there, all more than fifty years old and with strong spirits.

“It’s you, Medicine Elder. Why did you burn the red spell?”

The middle-aged man sitting cross-legged in the center was wearing a priest’s frock, looking gray-haired and comely. He had such a deep gaze that it seemed it had the whole universe held in it.

The grand supreme elders and the leader usually stayed secluded and didn’t leave their tree holes, except for important matters.

Only two or three grand supreme elders stayed outside. They would come to the Palace of the Natural Law to report in the case of emergency.

There were three kinds of spells available for use depending on the extent of the emergency.

The yellow spell was used for average problems. It would call out the vice leader and an elder for a meeting.

The red spell was used for important things. Besides the vice leader, it would also call out three grand supreme elders.

If a golden spell was used, the leader would show up.

It was the vice leader who had questioned the Medicine Elder. His name was Jiang Wei.

The Medicine Elder told him the story of Jiang Chen and his panaceas, including Jiang Chen’s offer.

“Jiang Chen? Is he the disciple who fixed the great formation of the mountain protection?”

“Oh? This is indeed very important.”

“Looks we have an interesting disciple here.”

The grand supreme elders realized the importance of the affair immediately. They all showed their interests, but Jiang Wei was still pondering.

Suddenly, a grand supreme elder said in an unkind tone, “This Jiang Chen is an unappreciative guy. He should have gifted the panaceas to the school much earlier. How dare he want a thirty-seventy split!”

His words received frowns, but the other two grand supreme elders weren’t surprised at all.

Where you sit determines what you say. It sounded perfectly true to the Medicine Elder. As Ning Haotian’s master, this Yuan Hong certainly didn’t want Jiang Chen to become powerful.

“Elder Yuan, it’s unfair for you to say so. The recipe is the disciple’s property. The Natural Law School does not rob its disciples’ belongings,” Jiang Wei, the vice leader, smiled mildly.

Then he looked to the Medicine Elder and said, “Medicine Elder, I’ll leave you in charge of this affair. You must assure the uniqueness of the recipe. In addition, a thirty-seventy split sounds unfair for Jiang Chen. I’ll award a bath in the Transdragon Pool to him.”

The Medicine Elder nodded. Then it occurred to him that Jiang Chen had told him he had even more powerful panaceas.

However, since Jiang Chen also mentioned he wanted the elder’s support, he decided not to report it for the moment.

The Medicine Elder left the palace after receiving approval and tried his best to take charge of these matters.

As for Jiang Chen, he had sold the 130 Black Yuan Elixirs, the 94 Revival Elixirs and the 100 Sky Yuan Elixirs to the Skywind Chamber of Commerce at a good price.

The Skywind Chamber of Commerce was glad to have done business with him. These panaceas had won the appreciation of the Medicine Elder. They would definitely sell well.

“We shouldn’t sell them the normal way. We should organize an auction!” The steward soon figured out the best way to maximize profit.

As for the reception staff, Wen Meng also received a handsome commission. She was super happy about it. Especially when her colleagues looked at her enviously, she felt proud and elated.

She felt sincerely grateful to Jiang Chen and wanted to express her gratitude to him in person, but Jiang Chen and Meng Hao had left for the school’s Medicine Palace.

The Medicine Elder took Jiang Chen to a small room without any windows. The walls were made of steel.

Jiang Chen touched the walls and said, “Wow, this tactical formation is able to isolate this place from everything. However, it only works against the Reaching Heaven State.”

The Medicine Elder rolled his eyes. Only?

In the Nine Heavens Continent, people in the Reaching Heaven State were the most powerful men. Wasn’t that enough?!

“No wonder Mo Xu recommended you so strongly to be a senior disciple. Looks like you do know tactical formations very well,” the Medicine Elder said.

At the same time, he started to get more curious about Jiang Chen. How could he be so skilled at tactical formations and panaceas at such a young age?

But he didn’t ask. After making sure the formation was working properly, he said seriously, “Tell me the recipes now. The more detailed the better.”

Then he saw Jiang Chen hesitate, so he said, “The school has granted the split you asked for.”

Jiang Chen nodded and told him the recipes in detail.

“Aren’t you afraid of any misfortune after telling me that?”

Maybe Jiang Chen’s calmness made the Medicine Elder desire to taunt him.

“No, I’m not. I trust the Natural Law School,” Jiang Chen said.

The Medicine Elder smiled bitterly while shaking his head. Of course he wouldn’t believe what Jiang Chen had said. In his opinion, Jiang Chen could only keep so calm because those of the Skywind Chamber of Commerce were still safe and sound, so he could tell the school wasn’t interested in harming him.

Jiang Chen had thought about it, but this reason wasn’t enough for him to rest easy.

But what could he do? If the school had forced him to surrender the recipe, he would no doubt have to do it. If the Natural Law School hadn’t agreed to a thirty-seventy split, he would have no way to right the wrong.

He could stay so calm because he knew the Natural Law School didn’t threaten people.

When they were discussing the split, the Medicine Elder didn’t even try to bargain with him.

They wouldn’t be so cruel to kill him directly.

“Fine. You need to bear in mind that you should never expose or tell others your recipe,” the Medicine Elder said.

“Got it. But, Elder, could you give me a part of the profits in advance? I’m short on money right now,” Jiang Chen said.

“Sure. How much do you want?”

Jiang Chen grinned and told him a number.

It was an enormous figure for disciples like Wen Meng, but the Medicine Elder didn’t hesitate to agree.

In this way, Jiang Chen and Meng Hao returned to the Redcloud Peak by airship, an airship of the latest model. It only took them a few minutes to arrive.

“Where did you get the airship?” Wen Xin looked suspiciously. She knew Jiang Chen and Meng Hao had gone to sell panaceas, but she hadn’t expected they could afford an airship with the profits.

The important thing was whether they had spent only a part of the profit on the airship, or all of it.

If it was the latter, they would barely have enough food to maintain life in the Redcloud Peak.

“Princess, here is your disciple token.”

Jiang Chen hadn’t returned it to her since he borrowed it.

“Check the contributions stored in it,” Meng Hao said. He couldn’t wait to see Wen Xin’s reaction.

Wen Xin was frowning while she injected her genuine yuan into the token.

Soon, she saw a number.

Wen Xin took a deep breath and opened her eyes wide. She pointed at the number with a trembling finger and started to count, “One, two, three, four… four zeros! That’s too much!”

“I told you I would pay you back ten times over,” Jiang Chen said.
