Chapter 765: Long Time No See, How Are You

The Grand Elder and Xun Ze discussed Ji Qingyun, both filled with regret.

Especially Xun Ze, who, as a high-level Alchemy Emperor, already stood at the pinnacle of the alchemist food chain.

Yet even he held an extremely admiring attitude toward Ji Qingyun.

"Speaking of which, since the fall of the Ji father and son, the Medicine King Hall has not declined but has instead grown stronger! However, the Medicine King Hall has become increasingly mysterious. Originally, our Tianyuan Trading Company had some cooperation with them, but now it has all been cut off," said the Grand Elder.

At its peak, the Medicine King Hall was the target of competition among all the major trading companies in the Divine Domain, even once overshadowing the Alchemist Guild.

But those days are gone forever.

The Medicine King Hall of today is no longer what it used to be.

Xun Ze sighed deeply and said, "Ji Qingyun's death is a regression for the Dao of Alchemy! If he hadn't died, it wouldn't have taken long for the entire alchemy world to undergo revolutionary changes! That might have been another beginning for the Divine Domain! What a pity, what a pity!"

"But to say that the kid who refined these pills has some connection with Ji Qingyun is too far-fetched. In my opinion, he must have inherited the legacy of some ancient alchemist to be able to refine these pills," said the Grand Elder.

Xun Ze nodded and said, "That should be the case! But I suggest the trading company pay more attention to this kid. If possible, it would be best to have him join the company. His future achievements will surely surpass mine!"

The Grand Elder said, "I naturally understand that! These pills..."

"Leave them. Later, I will invite some colleagues to study these pills together," said Xun Ze.

...

In the Great Xiang Domain, there were two first-class holy lands—Moonbright City and Sunblaze City.

Moonbright City was famous in the Divine Domain for the Moonlight Heavenly Eye, while Sunblaze City was known for the Sunblaze Heart Pupil.

The two first-class holy lands were controlled by the Yue and Zhou families respectively, unshakable by anyone.

At this moment, the Yue family of Moonbright City was hosting a distinguished guest—Vice President Quan Xingzi of the Alchemist Guild!

Even Yue Mengli hadn't expected that the Zhou family had actually managed to invite Quan Xingzi.

But after diagnosing Yue Mengli, Quan Xingzi frowned and repeatedly sighed, "Strange! Strange!"

Zhou Yan, standing by cautiously, asked, "President, what is strange about Li'er's illness?"

Quan Xingzi had been invited by the Zhou family, so Zhou Yan naturally had to accompany him. If Yue Mengli were cured, it would be Zhou Yan's credit, and Yue Mengli would have no reason to oppose the marriage.

Quan Xingzi said, "After my examination just now, I found that besides possessing the Moonlight Heavenly Eye constitution, Li'er actually has another extremely rare spiritual constitution!"

At these words, Zhou Yan's expression stiffened, and his heart skipped a beat.

"President, having two spiritual constitutions should be a good thing, so why..."

Zhou Yan screamed inwardly, hoping it wasn't that damned Innate Battle Soul Constitution!

But reality was so cruel. Quan Xingzi said, "If it were an ordinary spiritual constitution, it would naturally be a good thing, but this Innate Battle Soul Constitution is different! In the records of the Divine Domain, the Innate Battle Soul Constitution has appeared only a few times. This constitution requires the unity of spirit and flesh, but it conflicts with the Moonlight Heavenly Eye constitution. The two constitutions plunder the spirit and soul, causing Li'er's current condition."

With every word Quan Xingzi spoke, Zhou Yan's face darkened further.

His explanation was exactly the same as that kid's—what a ghost!

Hearing this, Yue Mengli couldn't help exchanging a smile with Ye Qing.

Ye Yuan was indeed formidable; in terms of alchemy skill, he was definitely not inferior to President Quan Xingzi!

No, Ye Yuan had said he could cure her spiritual constitution conflict. Quan Xingzi... probably couldn't, right?

"President, then Li'er's illness..." Zhou Yan's eyes held a glimmer of hope, praying inwardly that Quan Xingzi could cure it.

If so, he could kill that kid without restraint!

These days, Zhou Yan had been pestering Yue Mengli daily, and how could he not feel that Yue Mengli's heart was entirely tied to that detestable kid!

As time passed, the jealousy in his heart grew stronger.

Unexpectedly, Quan Xingzi sighed and said, "Spirit and soul ailments are the most dangerous, and spiritual constitutions are born from heaven and earth; they cannot be changed by medicinal power. Unless heaven can take back one of her constitutions, there is no cure!"

Zhou Yan's expression changed, and he said unwillingly, "President, your alchemy skill is supreme. Is there really no way even for you?"

Quan Xingzi said helplessly, "No matter how strong one's alchemy skill, it is not omnipotent. There are always incurable diseases. Alas, either of these two constitutions is extremely powerful, but to have them both in one body—what a cruel twist of fate! Li'er must never use her soul power from now on, or the consequences would be unthinkable."

Then he looked at Ye Qing beside him, his expression slightly softening, and said, "The Green Spirit Tree is extremely rare. Your father must have paid a considerable price to obtain it, right? But even with the Green Spirit Fusion Liquid, it can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause."

Zhou Yan suddenly had an idea and asked Quan Xingzi, "President, if even you can't cure Li'er's illness, is there anyone in this world who can? President Jing..."

The President Jing Zhou Yan referred to was the pinnacle of alchemy in the Divine Domain, the president of the Alchemist Guild, Jing Fengtian!

Quan Xingzi shook his head and said, "As far as I know, President Jing probably can't either! And even if he could, Li'er might not live long enough for him to act."

Zhou Yan suddenly sneered at Yue Mengli, "Li'er, did you hear that? Even President Jing can't do it. Do you think a native from the lower realm can cure your terminal illness?"

Yue Mengli smiled and said, "Since even President Jing is helpless, why not let him try?"

"You! I think you're just thinking about that native!" Zhou Yan said angrily.

"So what if I am?" Yue Mengli replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"You!" Zhou Yan was about to explode.

"Yue'er! Your nephew has been kind enough to invite President Quan Xingzi to diagnose you. What kind of attitude is this!" said a dignified middle-aged man beside them.

This middle-aged man was the lord of Moonbright City, Yue Nantian!

He had not spoken before, but now he finally couldn't help interjecting.

"A native? Haha, forgive me for speaking bluntly, but how could a native from the lower realm cure such a terminal illness?" Quan Xingzi suddenly laughed.

Hearing this, Zhou Yan's spirits lifted greatly, and he said to Yue Mengli triumphantly, "Li'er, did you hear that?"

Yue Mengli gave him a disdainful look and sneered, "It seems Young Master Zhou really hopes I'll die soon!"

Zhou Yan's expression stiffened, and he quickly said, "I... that's not what I meant!"

In the end, they parted on bad terms. After everyone left, Yue Mengli looked slightly haggard and murmured, "It's been over a year already. Long time no see, how are you?"
