The Eternal World

"Is that so? I do not care what you came to Hidden Lightning Mountain for, nor do I care if the poison my son was infected with was related to you, I only want to know if you have a way to completely cure him! " Ben Leizi said to Zhang Chao in a low voice.

"Radical treatment? Maybe, but. I have heard that His Majesty Ben Leizi is proficient in the arts of pills. Zhang Chao rubbed his chin and said.

"The Dao of alchemy that I have studied is just an immortal art. There aren't many dabbles in other areas!" Ben Leizi said as the corner of his mouth rose, "So … Rather than letting me spend my mind and spirit to study my son's illness, it would be better to let those who are able to do so to deal with it directly! "

"Besides, I am also very interested in you. No matter what motive you have to get close to me and enter the palace, I will let bygones be bygones towards those who are skilled in alchemy."

Zhang Chao's heart was moved.

It seemed like... The other party seemed to have guessed something?

Hmph, he really is an old fox!

It was similar to what he had expected...

However, it was obvious what Ben Leizi was saying to remind him. After all, he couldn't find any evidence, and the matter of the First Prince being poisoned could only be related to him, that was all.

The current Zhang Chao was already very good at interacting with the old cunning fox. It could even be said that the people he interacted with were countless times stronger than this Ben Leizi.

In front of these people, Ben Leizi's thoughts were not even worth as much as a baby's. How could he possibly scare Zhang Chao with just a shout?

"Hehehe, although I do not know what His Majesty means by that, since His Majesty believes in this commoner, it is this commoner's honour to be willing to let this commoner heal the His Royal Highness the First Prince!" Zhang Chao laughed lightly without fear, "To be honest, this commoner is also interested in the poison that the First Prince has been infected with. "It can further improve this commoner's skill in alchemy!"

"Moreover... To tell you the truth, the art of longevity that the king is pursuing … This commoner has also studied a bit before, and has some experience in it. I think it's good to be able to communicate with His Majesty! "

In any case, he knew that this Ben Leizi was obsessed with refining pills. As long as he was given some benefits, he would be able to take care of a lot of things easily.

And the fact was, Zhang Chao's estimation was also not wrong.

Ben Leizi was indeed very interested in Zhang Chao.

Especially after he heard from the First Prince that Zhang Chao had used a strange blue pellet to completely suppress the flames of anger in his body. After he carefully inspected the situation of the First Prince's body, he couldn't help but be extremely shocked.

At the very least, he couldn't suppress his anger, which was the so-called Dark Poison.

Speaking of which, he was also quite depressed.

Even though he loved to study pill refining, there weren't many capable pill masters in the region. Even if there were, they were all Imperial Advisors from other dynasties. How could they possibly inform him of the core items?

Thus, even though he had painstakingly studied for tens of thousands of years, he actually didn't have much knowledge.

How could he just let someone who might be a pill master pass by him like that?

According to Ben Leizi's thoughts, it was very simple.

If the person in front of him was truly capable, then no matter what thoughts he had, he could first learn his skills and then finish him off.

And if he was also a swindler, then killing him would not be a problem. In any case, the number of 'pill refiners' that had died at his hands was countless!

How could Zhang Chao not guess what was on his mind?

The two of them, each with their own ulterior motives, temporarily reached an agreement.

Speaking of which, the poison in the First Prince's body had been administered by Zhang Chao. Naturally, Zhang Chao could also cure it easily, but he would not be so happy.

After that, Zhang Chao legitimately stayed at the palace and began to concoct pills against the First Prince's illness.

First, he pretended to check out the First Prince's pulse a few times, and then he visited the Medicine Pavilion of the Rushing Thunder Empire.

In any case, Ben Leizi had already given the order, everything was based on the First Prince's illness, so he would let Zhang Chao go and give him the greatest possible authority.

After looking around, Zhang Chao had a rough idea of what it was.

The herbs in this world are almost the same as those in An Realm.

He could also successfully open the furnace and concoct pills, showing off his methods and fishing for Ben Leizi to take the bait.

Although Ben Leizi was known as a fisherman, it was hard to tell who was fishing this time.

Although Zhang Chao could cure the First Prince's illness with just a few pills, he could not do that.

He had to do all the acting!

Therefore, he outlined the treatment plan.

To use ten types of medicinal pills to completely cure the First Prince's hidden poison disease, get rid of the root!

The overall situation was extremely complicated because of Zhang Chao. Ben Leizi had also questioned him a few times, but he had always been fooled by Zhang Chao.

Furthermore, through their conversation and exchanges, Zhang Chao had an idea of what was going on.

Ben Leizi's attainments in pill refining was not low, but it was still relative. Compared to him, Ben Leizi was still lacking a lot.

Furthermore, Ben Leizi's knowledge was very narrow, he had only researched and studied the aspects of immortality, other aspects really were not much.

After seeing Zhang Chao refine a few batches of pills, Ben Leizi's impression of him had greatly improved.

Whether it was Zhang Chao's pill refining techniques, control of the fire, or the like, they all caused him to open his eyes wide and study them closely, causing his heart to become even more excited.

[Such a master apothecary...] Why had he never met one before?

Ten batches of pills were successfully refined. After the First Prince consumed them, he immediately recovered completely.

Zhang Chao was also directly touted as a genius doctor, a pill master!

Immediately after, Zhang Chao was once again invited to Ben Leizi's royal study.

This time, Ben Leizi made a few pots of tea and sat opposite of Zhang Chao.

"Your Majesty, this subject has not lived up to my expectations. I should be able to withdraw from the First Prince's hidden poison at this point, right?" Zhang Chao cupped his fists and said.

"What is it? Master is going to leave? " Ben Leizi's expression changed, and he very naturally changed his way of addressing him.

"Hehe, Your Majesty, please do not address this commoner as' master '. This commoner does not deserve the title, you have truly killed this lowly person!" Zhang Chao immediately waved his hand and laughed, "Back then, I only came to the palace to help the First Prince solve his problem. I didn't think of anything else.

"How can this be? Your distinguished skill in pill refinement has truly amazed me, so this' master '... It's definitely going to be alright! " Ben Leizi shook his head: "Besides, we have yet to thank Master, so why would Master leave in such a hurry?"

Zhang Chao smiled slightly upon hearing this.

Alchemy attainment?

Was there even a need to say that?

He had learned the art of pill refinement from An Realm, the number one pill refiner in the entire An Realm. Although he admitted that he was far from being at the level of Wind-like, in the entire An Realm, he could still be considered as number one.

In the An Realm, it should be about the same.

"There's no need for rewards. This commoner has come to treat the First Prince's illness not to seek anything. The kind heart of a doctor, being able to cure his hidden poison is the greatest reward ever bestowed by the heavens to this commoner!" Zhang Chao waved his hands, insisting on rejecting Ben Leizi's good intentions.

"Since master views money like dirt, then I won't force you. I just don't know …" "What sort of person is a Grandmaster to have such profound skill in the Dao of alchemy?!" Ben Leizi's expression changed and he changed the topic.

"Ahh, I've been wandering here for a long time without a destination. I only came here to broaden my horizons, to see more herbs and ingredients and to complete my art of alchemy!" Zhang Chao casually said: "If we are to truly talk about my homeland, then the distance from here to here is simply too far!"

"A very far place?" Ben Leizi quickly asked: "Could it be in the east side of the continent?"

As for the west and north parts of the continent, they were outside the domain of the Ping Realm, and people who passed through the Ping Realm would almost never come to the territory of the main Ping Realm, so there was nothing wrong with Ben Leizi's question.

"Yes, it's at the most east, near the Carchus!" Zhang Chao was very familiar with this place.

"That is indeed too far. Master, do you have any plans to go back?" Ben Leizi raised his eyebrows.

"Go back? "Besides, for someone like me, it's the same no matter where I go. I'm just wandering around the world!" Zhang Chao sighed, his eyes filled with the vicissitudes of life.

This vicissitudes of life was not an act, but because he had experienced too much.

After leaving the Star Alliance, he had traversed several realms and finally arrived at the An Realm. It was likely that very few people of his age would have had so much experience.

"If that's the case … "Master, I have a presumptuous request to ask of you. I hope that you can reconsider it!" Ben Leizi pondered for a moment, and said while stroking his beard.

"Oh? Your Majesty, please speak your mind! " Zhang Chao pretended to be surprised and said.

"In any case, it is the same no matter where it is for master. I might as well stay in my Rushing Thunder Empire for a while longer. I have a lot of knowledge regarding alchemy and I hope that master can be magnanimous and impart it to me!" Ben Leizi hurriedly said, "If Master really has a destination and wants to leave, we will definitely not stop you!"

"Besides, even though the prince has completely recovered, it's just looking at him now. I hope that master can observe him for a little longer."

"After all, I only have this kind of son in my entire life. If something were to happen to him …"

"Ugh …" "Is that so?" When Zhang Chao heard it, he frowned and looked like he was deep in thought.

"Relax, I will definitely not treat you unfairly. If grandmaster agrees, we will immediately issue an order and confer the title of Grandmaster as the Imperial Advisor of my Rushing Thunder Empire!" Ben Leizi immediately threw out an advantage: "Furthermore, all of the resources in the Rushing Thunder Empire, if Master needs them, you can just use them!"

"In this way, for a period of time, Master doesn't have to wander around searching for materials. As long as I can find them, I will definitely obtain them for Master!"

"Um... Since His Majesty has already said so, if this commoner still refuses, then this commoner will be too ungrateful! " Zhang Chao pondered for a moment, then said: "Alright, then this humble subject will continue to bother you for a period of time. In this period of time, this humble subject will share all the knowledge I have regarding the Immortal Pill with Your Majesty, and will also be able to help Your Majesty refine some pills …"

After saying this, Zhang Chao was secretly delighted in his heart.

State Grandmaster?

It was better than he had initially thought. In other words … His plan … Done!
