Free Web NovelChapter 661: Chapter 660: Medicine King Ancient Jade
Chu Zhongtian had been defeated by Lin Xuan before, but that was in the past. Now, he was a prospective Saint Heir, high and mighty, while Lin Xuan remained a good-for-nothing without a future.
Even I couldn’t get into Medicine King Valley, let alone Lin Xuan. How could he possibly get in? If he dares to force his way in, he’ll surely die. I was planning to kill him myself in three years, but this is even better. Now I can watch him die with my own eyes. That will finally quench the hatred in my heart. Chu Zhongtian laughed at the thought.
Up ahead, the disciple from Medicine King Valley heard footsteps and frowned. What’s going on? Is that prospective Saint Heir really trying to force his way in? I already refused him. I can’t believe he’s so unappreciative. If that’s the case, he can’t blame me for being rude. The disciple assumed Chu Zhongtian had barged in and prepared to teach him a lesson.
He turned around, ready to shout, but froze when he saw the person behind him.
"Who are you?"
He realized this wasn’t Chu Zhongtian, but an unfamiliar young man.
"I am Lin Xuan, a disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sacred Institute."
A Saint Academy Disciple? So what? The disciple from Medicine King Valley frowned. He hadn’t even let a prospective Saint Heir inside; a mere Saint Academy Disciple was even less worthy of his consideration.
He waved his hand dismissively. "I already told you, Medicine King Valley doesn’t receive outsiders. Leave now, or don’t blame me for being impolite."
Seeing this, the crowd shook their heads and laughed. They knew he couldn’t possibly get in.
Wei Yingying covered her face. "What a disgraceful guy!"
Wei Dashan whispered urgently, "Young Master Lin, come back quickly!"
The people from Wan Chu Holy Land laughed heartily. "Even we couldn’t get in, and this kid thinks he can? Dream on!"
Others chimed in. "You’d better get back in line!" "I’d advise you to just kneel on the ground." "If you put on a good show, maybe Medicine King Valley will take pity on you and let you in."
A disdainful smile played on Chu Zhongtian’s lips. I knew it would be like this. Even I couldn’t get in, so how could he? It’s just disappointing that he’s still alive. Medicine King Valley didn’t just kill him on the spot. What a pity.
But Lin Xuan didn’t leave.
The disciple’s expression darkened. Still not leaving? Then he can’t blame me for what happens next. He raised his palm, ready to kill Lin Xuan with a single strike.
The people around gasped when they saw this. "Damn, the kid still isn’t leaving! He’s courting death!"
"What a fool!" Wei Yingying snorted.
Wei Dashan stomped his feet in anxiety. "Young Master Lin, I’m begging you, come back now! If you don’t, you’ll be killed!"
The people from Wan Chu Holy Land laughed. "This kid is really asking for it!"
Chu Zhongtian grew excited. I thought he might actually get away with it, but it seems he’s just as reckless as ever. Perfect! He has offended Medicine King Valley, so they’ll definitely kill him.
At the entrance, the disciple from Medicine King Valley raised his palm, saying coldly, "If you don’t leave now, you’ll have only yourself to blame."
Lin Xuan, however, simply shook his head. "Leave? Why should I leave? Your Medicine King Valley owes me a favor, and I’m here to collect."
What?
The statement sent a shockwave through the crowd. Everyone was stunned.
The kneeling Martial Artists erupted in an uproar. "Who is this kid?" "Could he have a powerful background?" "He just looks like a lowly Saint Academy Disciple." "Damn it! A mere disciple dares to claim Medicine King Valley owes him a favor?" "He’s bragging to the high heavens!" "Absolutely reckless. Who does he think he is to make Medicine King Valley indebted to him?" "Hilarious!"
The onlookers shook their heads and sneered, all convinced that Lin Xuan was just a braggart.
Wei Yingying was speechless. It’s one thing to brag to us, but to do it right in front of Medicine King Valley? Isn’t he just asking to die?
It’s over... Wei Dashan’s face was a mask of despair. Young Master Lin has completely offended Medicine King Valley this time. No one in heaven or on earth can save him now.
The people from Wan Chu Holy Land howled with laughter. "Oh, that’s hilarious, I’m dying!" "Did you hear him? He said Medicine King Valley owes him a favor!" "What a braggart!" "Even our prospective Saint Heir doesn’t have that kind of pull, yet a mere four-star Grandmaster thinks he does?" "Dream on!" "I think he’s still asleep." "His brain must be full of water."
They all sneered and mocked him, and Chu Zhongtian scoffed with utter disdain.
This Lin Xuan is the same as ever—all talk. I refuse to believe he could make Medicine King Valley owe him a favor. What kind of power is Medicine King Valley? Even I have to tread carefully around them. What has Lin Xuan ever done to command such a debt? Just watch. This kid is challenging their authority; he’ll be dead in moments.
「Up ahead.」
The disciple from Medicine King Valley’s face was grim, a fierce killing intent flickering in his eyes.
This kid is speaking utter nonsense, publicly challenging our Medicine King Valley. I have no choice but to kill him. After all, Medicine King Valley is supreme and cannot be challenged. Even Chu Zhongtian wouldn’t dare. For a mere disciple to do so... he truly doesn’t know his place.
Just as he was about to strike Lin Xuan down, Lin Xuan held out half of a Jade Pendant. He asked calmly, "Take a look. What is this?"
The half Jade Pendant had an ancient design and emitted a faint glow, but otherwise appeared unremarkable.
However, when the disciple saw the Jade Pendant, his pupils contracted. His hand froze in midair. He stood there, completely stunned.
A moment later, he exclaimed, "The Medicine King Ancient Jade? How do you have this?"
He was utterly shocked. This was no ordinary disciple; he was an apprentice to the Medicine King himself, so of course he recognized the Medicine King Ancient Jade. One half of this pendant was always worn by his master, the Medicine King. To suddenly see the other half—and in the hands of this young man—was beyond shocking. He was simply flabbergasted.
He had heard his master say that if someone ever appeared with the other half of the Jade Pendant, they were to be treated with the utmost respect. They were his master’s benefactor. The Medicine King owed the owner of that half-pendant a great favor.
Before, when Lin Xuan claimed Medicine King Valley owed him a favor, this disciple, Luo Yang, had thought he was just bragging and spouting nonsense. He never imagined that what Lin Xuan said was actually true. It was simply incredible.
Luo Yang took a deep breath, lowered his hand, and bowed respectfully to Lin Xuan. "You must be Young Master Lin, correct? I was blind before and failed to recognize your true status. I have offended you. Please forgive me. I will lead you into Medicine King Valley now. Please, this way."
With that, he bowed respectfully again and began to lead the way.
The surrounding crowd, seeing this, burst into an uproar. The eyes of those kneeling nearly bulged from their sockets. Heavens! What was happening?
The disciple from Medicine King Valley hadn’t attacked him. Instead, he was treating him with respect! It was unbelievable!
A King in the crowd said, "I recognize that disciple. His name is Luo Yang, and he’s the Medicine King’s own apprentice! He has a very high status in Medicine King Valley, yet he’s bowing to that kid. Could it be... what the boy said was true? Does Medicine King Valley really owe him a favor?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire area was stunned silent, and then everyone went mad. Moments before, they had been mocking Lin Xuan for spouting reckless nonsense. Now, in the blink of an eye, they had been thoroughly slapped in the face.
Lin Xuan hadn’t been bragging at all. Everything he said was true. Medicine King Valley really did owe him a favor.
Who on earth was this person to command a debt from Medicine King Valley? It was too incredible. Everyone was going insane.
Wei Dashan’s eyes were wide, and Wei Yingying was dumbfounded.
So Lin Xuan hadn’t been bragging. Everything he said was true. It was beyond belief. They were completely and utterly shocked.
Meanwhile, the people from Wan Chu Holy Land were also stunned, their faces burning with humiliation. Just moments ago, they had mocked Lin Xuan for being reckless, and now they had been completely humbled. Damn it, who was this kid?
Could he be a Crown Prince from some ancient Noble Family? Or maybe a Saint Heir from another Holy Land? Only someone with a status like that could enter Medicine King Valley so easily, right? They speculated wildly about Lin Xuan’s identity, convinced he had an immense background.
Someone even turned to Chu Zhongtian and asked, "Do you know who that is? He’s incredible!"
Chu Zhongtian nearly choked on his rage. Damn it, why? Why can *he* get into Medicine King Valley? How could they possibly owe him a favor? That brat must be bragging again, spouting nonsense! He’s deceiving them! I have to expose his lies!
At this thought, he rushed forward.
