Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 1125 1126: Born Invincible

The Medicine Saint never anticipated that his humble Medicine Valley would receive a visit from the Great Emperor who rules the Celestial Capital Immortal Kingdom. It was an entirely unexpected occurrence for him.

Yet, as an old monster who has lived for thousands of years, the Medicine Saint's mindset is naturally different from ordinary people. Though shocked inwardly, he maintained a calm facade.

Subsequently, the Medicine Saint bowed to the Celestial Emperor, saying, "What brings the Celestial Emperor to my Medicine Valley?"

"I have a request," the Celestial Emperor maintained a smile, causing the Medicine Saint to be momentarily surprised. How could a Great Emperor have a request for him?

However, with the arrival of the Celestial Emperor, he couldn't very well refuse entry.

Moreover, the visit of a Great Emperor could be considered an honor for Medicine Valley, especially since the Celestial Emperor had spoken so respectfully.

The Medicine Saint spoke, "If the Celestial Emperor does not mind our humble abode's simplicity, please come inside."

"Not at all!" the Celestial Emperor smiled and walked leisurely with the Medicine Saint, showing no airs of an Emperor, which further increased the Medicine Saint's favor towards him. Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the thatched cottage.

"Please have a seat, Celestial Emperor!" After indicating a seat to the Celestial Emperor, the Medicine Saint looked at the Medicine Boy and said, "Serve tea!"

Upon hearing, the Medicine Boy nodded and stepped away.

Again addressing the Celestial Emperor, the Medicine Saint said, "I wonder if the Celestial Emperor has come to ask for medicine or for the art of immortality. To speak openly, and pardon my candor, there is no medicine for immortality under the heavens. Although I, the Medicine Saint, have lived for thousands of years, I am not truly immortal!"

"That, I am well aware!" The Celestial Emperor smiled slightly and continued, "I've heard that the Medicine Saint is a rare expert in pharmacology. There have been rumors that no matter the strength of a being, regardless of their cultivation, if poisoned by the Medicine Saint, there is no chance of survival. Thus, today I am here not for anything else but to request a particular medicinal ingredient!"

Thunk~

Upon hearing this, the Medicine Saint's heart trembled, clearly surprised by the Celestial Emperor's words. A Great Emperor, who could solve problems with an imperial decree, why would he seek medicine from him?

Could it be that the Celestial Emperor is facing a problem he cannot resolve himself?

The Medicine Saint's heart couldn't calm down. Although he was renowned as someone who could treat anyone, opposite to that, no one could survive his poison. But now, with the Celestial Emperor personally seeking medicine, the implications were very obvious.

For the Medicine Saint, the first sensation was that the Five Immortal Capitals were about to undergo great changes.

But this type of medicine isn't something to be given away lightly. If something were to go wrong, it could mean catastrophe for him, the Medicine Saint. Yet refusal isn't feasible; the Celestial Emperor's status is undeniable.

Therefore, the Medicine Saint understood very clearly that if he refused, the consequences might be unimaginable.

This left the Medicine Saint in a dilemma.

"Is the Medicine Saint in a difficult position?" Though the Celestial Emperor spoke with a smile, there was a hint of sharpness in his eyes, causing the Medicine Saint's heart to tighten, and he immediately responded, "I dare not!"

"No need to be tense, I've only come to request medicine, it's as simple as that!" The Celestial Emperor smoothly changed the topic, speaking infinitely gently. He continued, "As long as the Medicine Saint fulfills my desire, Medicine Valley will be glorious as long as I, the Celestial Emperor, exist, and I shall bestow upon it the title of Medicine Emperor. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, the Medicine Saint knew he couldn't refuse and responded, "The title is not important to me, just hoping that after the Celestial Emperor's success, Medicine Valley receives some protection."

The Medicine Saint spoke vaguely, but in reality, suggested that after achieving his goal, the Celestial Emperor would spare Medicine Valley. Since this was a shady affair, once leaked, it could greatly tarnish the Celestial Emperor's reputation. Would he spare Medicine Valley?

Yet the Medicine Saint was quite sure the Celestial Emperor could understand his words.

"Rest assured, Medicine Saint, I am not one to destroy a bridge after crossing it!" The Celestial Emperor smiled.

"Alright!"

The Medicine Saint nodded, having no choice but to proceed. After all, he clearly understood that without giving the medicine, there would only be one ending; but by giving it, there might still be a slim chance of survival.

...

Haotian Sect Outer Sect.

Ever since Xiao Tianyu returned from the Divine Realm, he's been idle, with nothing to do. If he could do it over, he would hope to rise step by step like Ye Qingcheng, facing adventures along the way. Such a life is truly thrilling.

Unfortunately, born invincible, he's destined to only wish for these things.

As the saying goes, invincibility is lonely.

Unless you've stood at the peak, you wouldn't know the solitude of those at the pinnacle.

"Boss, so you're here!" A voice called out, and Xiao Tianyu turned to see Xiao Jiu running over, exclaiming, "Boss, it's class time, why are you playing truant again?"

Actually, Xiao Jiu wanted to say, "You're enjoying yourself, while I'm suffering. Look, the marks from the ruler haven't faded yet. Boss, can we wait until after class to have fun?"

"What do you want?" Xiao Tianyu asked coldly.

Xiao Jiu chuckled, "Boss, the lady teacher is angry again. I genuinely believe she's using anger as a way to express her desires. You should go look, or else we'll be the unlucky ones!"

"Aren't you at the Ninth Layer Martial Immortal?" Xiao Tianyu rolled his eyes at Xiao Jiu, thinking, being a Ninth Layer Martial Immortal and still getting spanked by a teacher, you're losing face for men everywhere!

"Boss, please don't say that. Yes, I'm at the Ninth Layer Martial Immortal, but she's the teacher. Respecting teachers is fundamental to Xiao Jiu!" Xiao Jiu spoke earnestly.

What if she becomes my sister-in-law one day, how could I dare fight back?

"Enough!" Xiao Tianyu snorted coldly, "At a time like this, why aren't you cultivating diligently? Do you intend to stay here your entire life?"

"Cultivation?" Xiao Jiu was momentarily stunned, wondering since when the boss cared about his cultivation. He replied, "Boss, I want to, but look at this Outer Sect, where are the resources for cultivation? I feel joining Haotian Sect is just a pit!"

Besides, without cultivation resources, my cultivation still reached the Ninth Layer Martial Immortal; clearly, I'm a genius among geniuses!

"Stop giving me all this philosophical talk. I ask you, do you still wish to return to the Divine Realm?"

"Of course I do!" Xiao Jiu answered without thinking, then realizing something felt off, he asked, "Boss, how do you know about the Divine Realm?"

Could it be I talked in my sleep at night, and the boss heard?

In Xiao Jiu's eyes, he's always considered Xiao Tianyu just a Martial Emperor, impossible for him to have been to the Divine Realm. Having not gone, how would he know?

But Xiao Tianyu replied seriously, "Never mind how I know, but I can clearly tell you, soon the Saint Path will open. You, being the reincarnation of the Divine Emperor, should be familiar with the Saint Path."

Opening the Saint Path?

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jiu felt even more confused. Opening the Saint Path isn't something an ordinary person can do. To open it requires at least six Martial Gods working together. Yet now, the boss claims it will soon open, is he sure he's not joking?
