Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 579 - 558 Situ Ling (1/3)

Pharmacists, one and all, looked down on everyone else: even a One Star Pharmacist dared to disregard the Moonlight Emperor, and when reaching the rank of an Eight Star Pharmacist, also known as an Earth Pharmacist, one could easily handle the rulers of the Creation Realm, regardless of their own cultivation level.

The rarity determined the status!

Yet, these pharmacists who could strut around Xihai City, now huddled around Zhou Heng like little puppies, each vying to ingratiate themselves with him, as if a single word of praise from Zhou Heng would make them bloom with joy.

Zhou Heng was also an ordinary man, fond of flattery, but after hearing too much of it, it lost its charm. These pharmacists were of considerable age, yet their words of flattery were endless, which he found unbearable.

"So... I’ve passed the Three Stars Pharmacist certification, right?" he asked.

"Of course!" the pharmacists shouted in unison. Anyone who dared disagree would face their wrath! After all, this was the reincarnated Medicine Venerate!

"Then give me my identity plaque already!" Zhou Heng said displeasedly, as if they treated him like some unparalleled beauty. Did they find him that fascinating, as if his face was blossoming with flowers?

"Yes, yes, yes!" The pharmacists nodded incessantly, but inside they wondered—why would the reincarnated Medicine Venerate care about a mere Three Stars Pharmacist title?

But since the Medicine Venerate Lord had instructed them, there must be a reason for his request. They did not need to know or understand; they simply had to comply! Three Two Stars Pharmacists quickly gave orders to prepare the Pharmacist’s plaque.

"My lord, making the plaque also requires a drop of your blood, this—" Second Elder Yuan Feng spoke somewhat fearfully, worried about accidentally offending this young reincarnated Medicine Venerate Lord.

Zhou Heng truly did not understand why they revered him so, it was just a Three Stars Pharmacist certification. He nodded, forcibly cut his skin, and squeezed out a drop of blood tinged with gold, flicking it towards Yuan Feng.

This was just his ordinary blood, not Essence Blood, but still, it weighed millions of 500 grams. In his body, the Spiritual Power naturally controlled it, but once outside, it became as heavy as a mountain.

Even Yuan Feng, serving the Moonlight Sovereign, felt a slight heaviness in his palm as he caught the drop of blood, never expecting Zhou Heng’s blood to be so dense!

The denser the blood, the more terrifying Zhou Heng’s physical constitution!

Good heavens, the physical constitution of this reincarnated Medicine Venerate could probably compare to a Moonlight Realm Magic Artifact!

He dared not waste time and hurriedly carried the blood away.

"Lord, although our branch is qualified to certify a Three Stars Pharmacist, we still need to report to headquarters first, so this plaque will take two to three days to be delivered into your hands!" Tu Gang said carefully to Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng nodded. He could wait two or three days. A thought struck him, and he asked, "Then where can I get certified for a higher-level Pharmacist?"

"Hai Immortal City, Xu Immortal City, and You Immortal City’s Pharmacists Association can only certify up to Three Stars Pharmacists. Shen Immortal City, Wei Immortal City, and Noon Immortal City can certify up to Five Stars Pharmacists. Si Immortal City, Chen Immortal City, and Mao Immortal City can certify up to Seven Stars Pharmacists. Yin Immortal City can certify up to Eight Stars Pharmacists. Chou Immortal City for Nine Stars Pharmacists and Nine Immortal City for Ten Stars Pharmacists!" Li Xiufen explained respectfully.

"Then how do I get to Shen Immortal City?" Zhou Heng was furious. He was still only at the Moonlight Sovereign level, but Shen Immortal City required a Sunshine King level cultivation to enter.

"Lord, didn’t you know that being a Three Stars Pharmacist allows you to travel freely from the Seventh to the Ninth Immortal City?" Yuan Feng asked curiously, but then he thought that perhaps the Medicine Venerate had encountered some trouble during reincarnation, resulting in some memory loss.

Luckily, his pill-making ability wasn’t lost!

So it is!

A Three Stars Pharmacist could indeed head to Shen Immortal City and use that as a stepping-stone. As long as his Alchemy skills were sufficient, he could directly advance all the way to Nine Immortal City!

Zhou Heng smiled faintly—it seemed his whimsical decision to come here to certify as a pharmacist was indeed a wise move. This was not only a travel pass but also added a layer of protection. To attack him was to make an enemy of the Pharmacists Association!

No one dared to blatantly kill a pharmacist—not even a One Star Pharmacist!

Since making the identity plaque would take at least two to three days, Zhou Heng and the two ladies decided to stay here temporarily. Naturally, the members of the Pharmacists Association could not ask for more—who wouldn’t want to seek advice from the reincarnated Medicine Venerate Lord? Even if they could not get advice, just to touch the aura of the Medicine Venerate would be good.

Zhou Heng and the two ladies had just settled down when they heard a hearty laugh: "I am Situ Ling, sorry to disturb you three!"

The three turned their heads to see a young man in brocade standing at the gate. Although the door was open, he did not directly walk in but waited at the doorstep.

Such a gesture immediately endeared Zhou Heng to him, who smiled and said, "I am Zhou Heng, Brother Situ, please come in!"

"Thank you, Brother Zhou!" Situ Ling stepped forward, his tall figure exuding the solid presence of a dragon or tiger with each step, not merely a man but rather a sovereign of immortals, majestic and grand.

This was a Moonlight Sovereign.

"Brother Situ, do you still recognize your younger sister?" Yang Lanxin also stood up and courteously greeted Situ Ling with a slight bow.

"So, it’s the eldest daughter of the Yang family!" Situ Ling’s brows furrowed slightly, but he quickly broke into a smile, "I thought I was fast enough, yet I’m still one step behind Miss Yang!"

"It’s not that Brother Situ is slow, but the Brother Zhou you speak of is actually my husband!" Yang Lanxin said without any hesitation.

Situ Ling’s smile became even brighter, pointing directly at Yang Lanxin with his finger, "You, you! I haven’t even said anything yet, and you’ve already blocked all my next words!"

Obviously, Situ Ling had received the news and specially came here to solicit Zhou Heng! However, Yang Lanxin had made it clear that Zhou Heng was her man, naturally cutting off any possibility for Situ Ling to steal him away.

Yang Lanxin returned a flirtatious smile, yet she stepped back and stood behind Zhou Heng, like an obedient little wife. Her goal had been achieved, so why should she, a woman, stand in the front and steal her man’s thunder?

Zhou Heng naturally supported his woman. However, he also felt a certain fondness for Situ Ling and smiled, gesturing with his hand, "Brother Situ, please have a seat!"

On this occasion, Yang Lanxin reversed her typically haughty demeanor as the eldest daughter, personally serving tea and water, then stood beside the Moon Shadow Saintess behind Zhou Heng, extremely obedient and compliant.

"Brother Zhou is truly fortunate!" Situ Ling praised, though it was unclear how much was sincere and how much was pretense. However, the fact that he could turn the Blood Rakshasa into a tender little woman was indeed admirable alone.

Zhou Heng merely smiled. In the privacy of his chamber, he didn’t mind joking around with the ladies to spice things up, but he would never discuss his women with other men.

The two spoke about everything under the sun. Situ Ling was gifted in eloquence and highly learned, mostly dominating the conversation without ever letting it stagnate, leaving Zhou Heng and the two women listening and smiling.

In the end, he tactfully proposed employing Zhou Heng as the family’s pharmacist. This time Yang Lanxin didn’t interject but simply leaned her delicate body against Zhou Heng.

It was her cleverness at play, putting herself completely in the role of the little woman, leaving decisions to Zhou Heng. Otherwise, constantly stepping ahead of the men, no matter how favored, would eventually disgust Zhou Heng. freeweɓnovel.cøm

Zhou Heng felt the soft pressure against his back and smiled as he turned down Situ Ling.

He held the title of pharmacist merely as an additional layer of protection, never planning to actually work as a Pill Master for anyone else. Even without Yang Lanxin’s "seduction," he wouldn’t have agreed to Situ Ling’s offer. However, as business might not succeed but righteousness should prevail, he felt a spontaneous kinship with Situ Ling and agreed to join him for drinks at the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion in the evening at the other’s earnest invitation.

Situ Ling didn’t expect a single conversation to make Zhou Heng serve as their Situ family’s pharmacist. Seeing that they had established a rapport, he politely excused himself, saying he would send a carriage to pick up Zhou Heng and the two women in the evening.

After he left, Zhou Heng asked Yang Lanxin about the man’s background.

"The Situ family is the largest family in Wild Horse City, tasked by Juexian City to oversee the order of the Immortal City!" Yang Lanxin began explaining the history of the Situ family.

Both the Situ family and the Yang family boast the strongest members as Moonlight Sovereigns, but although they both have members within the Moonlight Sovereign ranks, the power of the two families is as different as heaven and earth!

Counting even the recently deceased Wang Yuanlong, the Yang family only has three Moonlight Sovereigns, but the Situ family? Reportedly at least thirty Sovereigns!

This is the accumulation of hundreds of thousands of years!

In all of Xihai City, there are about a dozen families with strength comparable to the Situ family. Nine of these families abide by Juexian City’s commands to govern nine great cities, their status supreme!

"Situ Ling is among the cream of the young generation in the Situ family, often hailed as a king. Many who are stronger than him willingly follow him, believing that one day he will soar to great heights!" Yang Lanxin finally mentioned Situ Ling again.

Zhou Heng nodded in agreement, "Situ Ling does indeed have the presence of a king. His conversation alone makes one feel as though they’re basking in a spring breeze, and his heartwarming words inspire a willingness to die for such a kindred spirit!"

"You wouldn’t also consider serving him, would you?" Moon Shadow Saintess wrapped her arms around Zhou Heng’s neck from behind, her ample chest pressing tightly against his back.

Zhou Heng’s heart stirred, and he quickly pulled her into his embrace, laughing, "I have horns on my head, accustomed to being uncontrollable, and no one can tame me!"

"I don’t believe it!" Yang Lanxin teased with a seductive smile, her eyes bewitching like water, her fair jade-like face seeming to glow, strikingly gorgeous. She drew circles with her finger on Zhou Heng’s chest.

Zhou Heng’s desire surged, his gaze towards Moon Shadow Saintess filled with aggressiveness, his hands already restlessly roaming around, ready to begin his campaign.

"Lanxin, why are you setting a fire and burning it on me?" Moon Shadow Saintess quickly struggled, not yet comfortable being intimate with Zhou Heng in front of another woman.

Yang Lanxin giggled, casting seductive glances at Zhou Heng, fueling his desire even more.

Moon Shadow Saintess had eyes like water and a blushing beautiful face as she leaned against Zhou Heng’s chest, "Stop it, we have a banquet to attend this evening!"

"We still have two hours, no rush!"

"With your vigor, how could two hours be enough!"
