Wasting Money to Become an Immortal-Chapter 148: Myriad Medicine Valley
It took four days in the end to give all of the bribes.
That was because I had to add an extra day of bribing.
Elder Wang felt that just a hundred First Grade Herbs wasn’t enough compared to the total that the disciples received. Ten for each of the disciples and there were twenty of them, so it was two hundred to one hundred.
So I just simply gave him another hundred without a care since it didn’t matter to me.
It was just another day of refreshing the store for me after all.
Though it took four days to hand out the bribes, it took even longer before we were able to set off for the alchemy tournament.
After all, there was still some time before the tournament began and we still had to prepare everything for the tournament. That meant that I got a week to just laze around and do nothing while waiting to set off for the tournament.
That was when I was caught by Liu Ao Xue.
After what had happened, she had become much more clingy and wouldn’t let me out of her sight unless there was something that I needed to do.
It was the honeymoon phase where she didn’t want to let me out of her sight for even an instant.
But of course, I didn’t mind that since I also enjoyed spending time with her.
Though spending time with Liu Ao Xue usually meant having a bunch of light bulbs hanging around us that we weren’t able to do a single thing. They were watching us with sharp eyes even if Liu Ao Xue scolded them.
It was like they didn’t trust me for a single second, which was why they followed me to everywhere that I went.
So when it was finally time to head off to the alchemy tournament, I couldn’t help letting out a sigh of relief over the fact that they would no longer be following me around.
The ones that were heading to the alchemy tournament with me were the lackeys alone.
If Liu Ao Xue came, then one could be certain that the elders would also follow.
If all of those elders went...then they might think we were there to declare war instead of participating in the alchemy tournament.
At the same time, there was someone else that couldn’t be brought along with us.
That was naturally Mu Bao Bao.
If we were to bring her along, there was no doubt that they would think that we would be starting a war. After all, she was powerful enough to even threaten the Great Elder, so there was no doubt that she would be seen as a threat by the other sects.
It took a lot of coaxing just to get her to stay in the sect, but basically it was Murong Yan who stopped her in the end.
She seemed like she was really taken with Murong Yan so that she listened to what she said.
So we were able to head out with this small group.
It was Elder Wang and the Great Elder who led our group.
The Great Elder was the representative of the sect while Elder Wang was the representative of the Alchemy Hall.
There were five competitors in total, but there were over ten of us going.
I took up one of the spots, there were four other competitors, and the rest were my lackeys.
The Great Elder was the one that was guiding the flying artifact, but this flying artifact was one that I gave him.
Even the Great Elder didn’t have a flying artifact that was on the same level as the one that I gave him.
With the Great Elder driving the flying artifact and with the way that I was laying on it with my eyes closed, it almost seemed like he was my driver that was driving me around.
This made the Star Peak Sect disciples and even Elder Wang reveal strange looks.
The only ones that acted like this was normal were the lackeys since they were already used to this.
After some of the things that they’ve seen, it was hard for them to be surprised anymore...
The Great Elder didn’t seem to mind either since he was focused on driving his new flying artifact.
With the way that he was flying it, it even seemed like he was scared to scratch it.
That was just how much he seemed to care about this flying artifact that he received.
Still, the speed of it was much greater than his previous flying artifact, so they arrived much sooner than expected.
When they arrived, the Great Elder seemed like he was unwilling to part with it. However, since there were also other sects that were here, he had no choice but to act the part of the Great Elder and put it away.
The place that they had arrived in was the Myriad Medicine Valley.
This was the location of the Medicine King Sect, which was a second grade sect of the Central Sect Alliance.
However, the specialty of the Medicine King Sect was naturally their skills with alchemy as their name suggested.
They were the sect that everyone turned to when it came to matters of alchemy, so it only made sense that this would be the place where they held the alchemy tournament.
When we arrived, there was an old man that came forward to greet us.
"Old Yao, I never thought that you would come personally." This old man waved his hand at the Great Elder before stepping forward with his hands spread.
The Great Elder didn’t hesitate to step forward as well and give this old man a hug before saying, "And miss a chance to see you? How could I do that?"
It was clear that the two of them were close to each other, but I had no idea who this person was.
One of the senior brothers suddenly leaned over and said, "This is the Great Elder of the Medicine King Sect, Shen Qing Feng."
I gave a nod to show that I understood before looking around at the Medicine King Sect.
I had to admit, the air here really was nice.
