Wong Zi nodded his head and take the box, "I can only imagine the hardship Patriarch He has been going through just to able to get this precious herb." He said and take a deep sigh, "However, as I mentioned before, this may able to cure you." He added and look at Patriarch He in a serious face.
Patriarch Liu He understood what Wong Zi meant.
"I understand what you mean Master Wong Zi, but doing this is better than doing nothing." Liu He replied.
"That's better, also just to make sure these herbs won't be wasted, I invited one of my friends in Alchemist Guild to help us refined this precious herb." While saying these words a silhouette of a beautiful female came in.
"Uncle Zi was that the herbs in the box that you want me to concoct?" The voice of this female is very enticing, she may have a veil that covering her face but once you see her especially her fine shape, snow color skin, and feel her noble aura, you can instantly perceive that she is a goddess of beauty.
Wong Zi turns his face to see who is it. "Oh! Greetings Young Miss Huohua (Fire Petals)" Wong Zi respectfully greeted this young miss.
"You can escape the formalities Uncle Zi" Wong Zi handed the box to Huohua then Huohua take the box and went inside the room to concoct the pill. "Wait for me here and don't disturb me while I'm concocting," She said with a desire to kill, then she closed the door.
Of course, no one would dare to disrupt the alchemist while he or she is concocting the pill. This will disrupt their concentration and resulting in the failed concoction. Sometimes it is not the scenario that would occur, others would received backlash and damage their spiritual force or resulting in instant death.
If you disrupt them, not only the Alchemist Guild will hunt you but also the King's Warrior.
When the door was closed Liu He asks Wong Zi to satisfied his curiosity. "Master Zi, is that Miss Huohua of Tang Clan in the east? the genius girl who loved by heavens?"
"Yes, you are right she is Tang Huohua, only 17 years old but already a High Master Alchemist in low tier Pills. Sometimes I really think that heavens really had favoritism in their system." Wong Zi's answer, he's been studying concoction for god knows how many years yet this woman is already a high tier alchemist despite her age.
It's already three hours passed when Huohua started to concoct the pill. They were just patiently waiting outside and there is no trace of irritation on waiting instead they meditate themselves. when suddenly they heard the door creaks and the voice of an alluring young girl were heard as well.
"Uncle Zi it's done." With her tone of voice, you can be perceived that she is exhausted. Then two translucent pill flew out and landed on Wong Zi's palm.
"Thank you, young miss, for answering my request." Wong Zi said.
"Don't mention it, if you need my help about you can call me anytime." Then another door open and a teenage boy who wears red rob was on the door that makes Huohua's eyes turn solemn and pointed her finger on that young man. "Who are you? What are you doing here!? Servants are not allowed to come here!." She angrily bellowed.
That young man was shocked again, yes, that young man is Lei Chen, who came in to fulfill his promise to Wong Zi.
When Wong Zi saw that man is Lei Chen, he was forced to cough twice, "Ahem, Ahem... Ahh, young miss, he is not a servant. He is also a distinguished guest like you that I invited."
"Whhhaattt!"
Everyone in the room except for Wong Zi and Lei Chen had the same reaction. They were stunned for the moment when they heard those words.
All of them are skeptical about they heard but since it is Wong Zi who said it then it means that he is telling the truth.
Wong Zi noticed the awkwardness in the air so he changes the subject. "Alright! Enough of this, let's continue what we left off."
Huohua looks at Lei Chen in a prideful manner just like a child. Lei Chen knows what she meant that she is a more useful guest than him, which makes him laugh inwardly.
("Hahaha, what a horrible day.") he thought then tried to sit near on Huohua but he was rejected to come near to her.
"Hmmph! Don't sit beside me, sit at the back! I'm more powerful than you useless distinguished guest." She said to Lei Chen.
Lei Chen felt a little annoyance, of course, he is just a human that had a capacity for tolerance. He did not say anything he just stands and leans on the corner while looking at the scene.
Suddenly he receives a telepathic message from Wong Zi.
("Sigh... I do apologize, brother Chen, she doesn't know what was her saying if she only knows your capability she will not say these words.") Lei Chen just nodded his head, he did not blame Wong Zi for what's happening right now. In fact, he is the root cause of all. In this world that worships the strong, it is so wrong to be low-key.
(Sigh,... Blessed those ignorant for they did not know how depth the world is.") He thought.
Everyone in the room was alarmed after Patriarch Liu He takes the pill. A blood tattoo shape of a star appeared on his forehead and the wails of the hundreds of ghosts were heard. Shifting from a cry of a baby, teenager, adult, and old person.
Lei Chen operates his Eyes of Truth and the series of information comes into his mind. Lei Chen sneered while looking at Patriarch He.
Patriarch He, was now vomiting a mouthful of blood and experiencing a very painful headache. He is punching and banging his head on the ground just ease the pain.
Later on Patriarch, He was bloodily lying on the ground.
"Father!!" "Patriarch!" "Uncle!"
The three quickly went to Patriarch He and feed a pill to recover his strength. Patriarch He, Shengkai, and Liu Ting were now looking at Wong Zi like a hungry wolf that will attack any minute.
"Master Wong Zi! We respected you as a well-known man! Yet what are you trying to do? you wanted me to die by giving me a wrong prescription." Patriarch He said.
"Right, my father was a very good person, yet you wanted him to die!? You're a quack!" scream by shengkai,
Wong Zi was lost for a word, he cant rebut their accusation. When he got time to say a word he was stopped by Lei Chen.
"Don't bother to explain your self brother Zi, he did not bother hearing his own flesh pleading what more came from you." Lei Chen was sneering to Patriarch He up until now.
Patriarch He stood up and threatened Lei Chen by his aura. "What are you saying, young man!? If you wanted to defend this quack! Don't put weight on someone's head. Your friend is sure that he is quack! Brighter than the sun!" He didn't even respect Wong Zi and just address him as your friend.
Huohua stood up and defend Wong Zi, "You lowly Patriarch! What is right for you to slander the name of great Wong Zi! He already told you beforehand yet you were acting this!?" Suddenly the place became hotter like they were inside the oven.
Liu He manners quickly turn 360 degrees and quickly apologized to Wong Zi, then he transfers his anger to Lei Chen. "Now trash! If you did not give me an explanation about your words earlier, then pardon me for being cruel."
He looks to Lei Chen like the hunter and its prey.
"Hmmph! That's retribution for a disgusting person like you. I know that you know what I was saying." Lei Chen answers while crossing his hand.
"Don't say I didn't warn you!"
Liu He trying to leap towards Lei Chen when suddenly he was stopped by the words he heard from Lei Chen.
"Blood of the East"
The words that not only stop Liu He but stunned Liu Ting, Huohua and Wong Zi.
