Chapter 241 Haotian Sect May Know

"Brother Arthas, I heard from Orange that you saved her life when we were testing the soul guide in Jingyang Mountain Range." Xu Tianran said very kindly.

"Now Juzi is my Crown Princess. I should thank you for this favor."

Juzi was a little shocked, but she didn't say much. Ever since Arthas appeared and performed well, she found that Xu Tianran was becoming more and more sensitive. Especially after the argument with the elders, otherwise Xu Tianran would not have suddenly revealed that she had been chosen as the Crown Princess. Obviously, Arthas's excellence had stimulated Xu Tianran a little.

The most important thing is that Arthas is a healthy man, but Xu Tianran is not.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is jealous." Xiao Hongchen, sensing the gossip, said so in his heart, and was a little surprised at Xu Tianran's sensitivity.

From his current understanding of Arthas, this otaku has no interest in women at all.

I have to say that Orange is indeed a peerless beauty, and her sister is not bad either, but Arthas is completely indifferent to them.

Very focused!
Meng Hongchen glanced at Orange with a calm expression.

Arthas was equally calm. "Since we are partners in this mission, I cannot just sit back and watch."

"No matter what, Juzi is my Crown Princess after all. I have to express my gratitude to her. Otherwise, it would be impolite." Xu Tianran said with a smile.

"How about this, when we go to choose the wine later, I will ask my father to take you to the royal treasury to pick out a rare medicinal herb that can work on you. As long as it's what you like, I will not be stingy, and I will also cover the subsequent preparation of the medicine."

Then I can ask if there is anything suitable for me, right? Arthas thought to himself, the body is very honest, and I will not refuse the free herbs.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

He bowed slightly.

"It's my duty." Xu Tianran smiled and was very satisfied with Arthas' performance.

Arthas's reply undoubtedly showed him and Orange that in Arthas's eyes, she was not as important as this rare medicinal herb.

"Girls are all sensitive and like to compare subconsciously!" He thought self-satisfiedly and believed that Orange would think so.

The person involved, Juzi, did think so, but she didn't care, because she felt that she knew Arthas better, who had the same tragic life experience as her and had no background in the Sun Moon Empire. The other party was a smart person like her, who knew how to hide himself and could also guess Xu Tianran's temptation. In this case, it was reasonable for him to answer like this to distance himself from her.

At this time, Xu Tianran changed the subject in a familiar voice, "Brother Arthas, your debate with the elders just now really shocked me. But to be honest, I still feel relieved. You don't know that since I became the crown prince, no matter what I do on weekdays, as long as it is slightly out of line and is seen or heard by the elders, I will be reprimanded."

"I've been scolded a lot over the years!"

"I'm still the same. These old guys are so annoying!" Xu Tianzhen groaned.

"Fortunately, since I entered Mingdu Soul Instructor College, they can no longer control me. My mood has improved a lot in the past few years, and the acne on my face has disappeared."

Xu Tianran shook his head. His sister had always been playful since she was young, often causing chaos in the palace, and had indeed been scolded by the elders. But she was innocent by nature, and had never discriminated against him after his legs became disabled. She always regarded him as a brother and often came to visit him.

Therefore, he loved her very much.

"Hey, Arthas, your scolding just now really helped me vent my anger." Xu Tianzhen's face turned happy, and she patted her chest towards Arthas and said sternly, "Based on your scolding today, I will protect you from now on!"

You are being scolded yourself, how can you protect yourself? Arthas wanted to say.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Princess." But due to the occasion, he nodded slightly.

Xu Tianzhen suddenly felt very satisfied, as if he had become more powerful. The smile on his face became even wider, and his chest puffed out.

"Hey, Xiaozhen, you're a girl, so be aware of the occasion." Xu Tianran pretended to remind her.

Without waiting for Xu Tianzhen's response, he glanced at Arthas and Xiao Hongchen and his sister, "Brother Arthas, I have to go and entertain other guests, so I won't stay here any longer. Brother Arthas, I'll come see you after the banquet is over."

"Okay." Arthas nodded.

Xu Tianran turned to look at Xu Tianzhen and continued, "Xiao Zhen, if you don't like interacting with other guests, just stay here and chat with Arthas and the others. Arthas is knowledgeable and talented, and Junior Sisters Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen are also top students who just returned from the exchange program at Shrek Academy. They can both give you guidance in martial arts training, so you can take this opportunity to ask them for advice."

"I know, I know. Brother, you should leave quickly." Xu Tianzhen curled his lips and said impatiently.

Xu Tianran shook his head helplessly and bowed to the others, "Then I'll take my leave first."

"Goodbye, Your Highness the Crown Prince." Xiao Hongchen and his sister said almost at the same time.

Arthas also bowed, looked at Orange and nodded, then turned and left with Xu Tianran.

Then Xu Tianzhen's sweet voice was heard.

"Arthas, I heard that you won consecutive battles in the Sun and Moon Royal Academy."

He started asking the three of them all sorts of questions.

Arthas and Meng Hongchen had nothing to do with each other, but Xiao Hongchen felt a headache and thought this girl was particularly annoying. So he suddenly had an idea and threw the question to Arthas, and then secretly admired Arthas's novel insights.

Join the questioning team with Xu Tianzhen.

"Arthas, you know so much, so amazing!" Xu Tianzhen's eyes sparkled, and his expression revealed more and more admiration.

Xu Tianran, who was watching from a distance with his peripheral vision, was very satisfied.

After an hour, the exchange meeting ended and the guests left one by one as Xu Tianran and Juzi smiled and saw them off.

Arthas, who used an excuse to end the casual conversation, sat at the same table with Jing Hongchen, waiting for the two to finish their meal.

"What a hassle!" Xu Tianzhen, who was sitting next to him, sighed, "Being a crown prince seems pretty boring."

"If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight." Jing Hongchen sighed.

"I don't understand, and I don't want to understand." Xu Tianzhen said very honestly. She just wanted to be free and at ease.

Jing Hongchen just smiled at this.

After waiting for a while, Xu Tianran led Juzi over and apologized, "Sorry to have kept you waiting!"

As he said that, he turned and looked at Orange.

"Juzi, you stay here to entertain Master Jing for a while. I will take my brother Arthas to see the emperor."

"Okay." Orange nodded slightly and walked towards the seat next to Xu Tianzhen.

After watching Arthas get up and leave with Xu Tianran, he turned to look at Meng Hongchen and said with a smile, "Sister Meng."

Xiao Hongchen shuddered, and suddenly felt the air was a little cold. On the other side, Arthas, led by Xu Tianran, quickly came to a building. The emperor, who had received advance notice from his attendants, walked out of the door with a silver-robed old man, giving him enough face. Then he smiled and introduced, "My dear, let me introduce you. This is Kong Deming, a priest of the Sun and Moon Imperial Family. I have heard for a long time that you are an excellent doctor, so I specially asked to meet you."

"This royal treasure house is managed by Kong Gongfeng."

"Junior greets Master Kong." Arthas bowed slightly, neither humble nor polite.

Kong Deming nodded with a smile, "I have heard for a long time that Earl Alsace has superb medical skills and is also gifted in soul guide research. He was promoted to level 7 soul guide at the level of Soul King, breaking the history of Mingde Hall for many years. He has also made great achievements in martial soul cultivation, and his combat power is unrivaled among his peers. Seeing him today, he is indeed extraordinary. Earl Alsace, your future is limitless."

His aura was restrained, even he couldn't detect it, which showed his control over soul power, which was worthy of his evaluation.

"Thank you for your compliment, senior." Arthas said modestly.

"Count Alsace, there is no need to be modest. You deserve this evaluation." Kong Deming said with a smile, "Today, I just heard that your majesty said that the count needs to select wine for medicine. Since it is for your majesty and the prince, only the treasures in this treasure pavilion are suitable. I happened to be there, so I went to take a look. Your majesty, your highness the prince, Count, please follow me, I will take you in to choose."

"Thank you for the tribute, Lao Kong." The emperor said with a smile, and then invited Arthas to come in with him.

Seeing this, Arthas bowed politely and followed him into the building. A quick glance showed that the first floor was 9 meters high, with multiple cabinets standing around it, reaching up to the roof.

Each of them was divided into multiple counters, on which were placed various treasures separated by glass doors. Between these cabinets was a two-and-a-half-meter-wide aisle.

However, the treasures on the first floor are obviously mundane items, including rare treasures such as beautiful jade.

Kong Deming introduced the treasures as he walked, saying that the most precious wines of the royal family were kept in the wine cellar on the underground floor of the treasure pavilion, and that he had specially moved them here.

Afterwards, he stated without hesitation that this was out of selfish motives, as he was greedy and liked to have a drink.

Kong Deming, the head of the Sun-Moon Empire's Worship Hall, the leader of the ninth-level soul engineers, is the first person in the original novel to possess a tenth-level soul guide and can rival the 99th-level peerless douluo. He is the true guardian of the Sun-Moon royal family, and Arthas has no doubt about his status.

What's wrong with hiding the wine under the treasure house you guard so that you can take it easily?
Maybe this big guy has a temporary soul guide laboratory built in this treasure house, and there are a lot of good materials in it.

Arthas said he was a little greedy, these were all wealth!
While I was thinking, I followed Xu Tianran and was led by Kong Deming to the basement floor. It turned out to be a wine cellar, filled with the aroma of wine.

"The Count of Alsace can choose whatever he wants." Kong Deming said with a smile.

Arthas didn't pretend to be hypocritical. He bowed slightly and walked away. He opened the barrels one by one to taste. It was indeed a royal collection of fine wines. Each one was mellow and fragrant. To be honest, he felt it was a waste to pair it with the castrated pill he made.

But thinking that it wasn't a waste of his wine, he felt that it didn't matter. Whether this thing was good or not, he would just adjust the taste.

But in order to show solemnity and increase the appearance, they still carefully selected two models, then chose two empty wine jars, filled them with wine according to the amount, and then threw the pills in under the watchful eyes of the three people. The originally clear wine suddenly turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"It has a strong medicinal aroma, and the taste is indeed a lot stronger." Kong Deming, who has tasted many fine wines, nodded.

"It needs to be left alone for three days for the medicinal power to be fully absorbed into the wine." Alsace said, picking up two wine glasses from the side and telling the emperor and Xu Tianran how much to use each day. He also said that the effect of this wine is to maintain health, and it is not advisable to drink too much, otherwise the body will not be replenished, and the qi and blood will be too much. At the least, the whole body will be hot, insomnia, dreaminess, and nosebleeds. At the worst, the qi and blood will be reversed, hurting the heart meridian, which is not worth the loss.

"I save that." The emperor nodded humbly.

Xu Tianran followed closely behind and took the opportunity to ask for the free medicine that he had promised earlier.

The emperor readily agreed.

At this time, Kong Deming took over, "Count Alsace, there are many precious medicinal herbs in this treasure house, and there are also some cultivated in the medicine garden behind. I wonder if you can prepare some for me as well? I am old, and my physical functions are declining. I also want to take care of myself."

In fact, the reason why he attached so much importance to Arthas was precisely because of the medical skills that Arthas mastered.

His soul power has remained at level 95 for many years, which is why he has never been able to truly merge with the level soul guide Silver Moon God Light Shield he made and become a level soul guide. In his opinion, Arthas's medical skills may be a good opportunity.

Therefore, after Arthas cured Xu Tianran's leg, he also secretly sent people to observe Arthas.

So far, he has not found any problems. It is too bold to send such a talent as a spy. The key is to cure Xu Tianran's leg and help the emperor recuperate. This is obviously not profitable. In addition, from the people sent by Shrek Academy for exchanges, these people do not seem to know that Arthas has mastered advanced medical skills, or Arthas deliberately concealed it.

After all, with that skill in dissecting human bodies, given the nature of Shrek Academy, they might think that he is an evil soul master.

"Of course." Arthas' voice sounded.

"But before that, I need to check on your physical condition first."

"As it should be." Upon hearing this, Kong Deming readily extended his hand.

Arthas was not vague either. He reached out and grabbed the guard, calling on his soul power to inject it. After a while, he let go of his hand and frowned slightly, saying, "Senior, did you take any medicine in your early years? To be honest, your current condition seems to be a manifestation of overdrawing your potential."

As the owner of twin martial souls, he is already over level 150 but has not yet broken through level 95. This is simply outrageous!

If it were someone else, such as Tang San, he would have been able to get to the top by stacking spirit rings.

"It's all my fault that I was short-sighted when I was young, which is why I'm stuck in this situation now." Kong Deming said helplessly.

He had already heard about Arthas's speech at the banquet. His evaluation of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy made him agree with it and also made him feel deeply regretful.

If he hadn't been eager to improve his cultivation in his early years and taken drugs that overdrew his potential, how could he still be at level 150 when he was over 94 years old with his twin martial spirit talents? He didn't take it seriously before, thinking that he had enough talent. Now that he's old, he really regrets it!

"My dear, do you have any solution?" the emperor asked at this time.

Kong Deming immediately cast a hopeful look.

Then Arthas said, "Mr. Kong is already quite old, and the hidden dangers left over from his early years have affected his body for too long. Unless he encounters a magical herb that only exists in legends and is suitable for him."

"Otherwise, it may not be reversed overnight."

"Magic grass?" Kong Deming couldn't help but think of a mysterious place outside the imperial city. It was rumored that someone got good things after entering, which greatly increased his strength.

"Yes." Arthas nodded. "It is a kind of herb that is blessed by heaven and earth. It is said that it takes ten thousand years for one plant to grow. As long as the properties are suitable, each plant can give an ordinary spirit master the potential to become a Titled Douluo. I have learned some information in Shrek Academy. It is said that the first generation of Shrek Seven Devils took this kind of rare treasure, and thus laid the foundation for their subsequent godhood."

"There is such a rare thing!" the emperor was surprised.

"Is it because Shrek Academy has mastered the production of magical herbs that it has been able to produce so many masters for thousands of years?" Xu Tianran couldn't help but ask. Who doesn't want to become a god?
"Shrek Academy doesn't know where the fairy grass came from. They only know that it was brought back by Seagod Tang San." Arthas shook his head slightly. "And Tang San later established his own faction, the Tang Sect. I think he didn't tell Shrek Academy for the sake of the sect's interests. However, according to my teacher's investigation, the Tang Sect doesn't seem to know either, otherwise it wouldn't have declined to this point."

"That's strange!" Kong Deming wondered.

"Tang San has become a god, so the medicinal herbs in this secular world are useless to him no matter how good they are. So why not leave them to the sect he founded?"

Arthas followed up with, "Perhaps Tang San's clan knows, that is, the hidden Haotian Sect."

"It is possible!" the emperor nodded.

"Although the Tang Sect is a spirit master force founded by Tang San, the successor is not his descendant or clan member. Outsiders are outsiders after all. As for the Haotian Sect, all direct disciples have the surname Tang and are all members of the Tang family."
