The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2398 - 2387: Medicine Tower

Since Zhang Yingnian and Zhang Yingshui couldn’t inquire about the locations of the Wus and the Jiangs, early the next morning, Ye Chenfeng personally headed to the Medicine Saint Hall.

Originally, both Zhang Yingnian and Zhang Yingshui wanted to accompany Ye Chenfeng.

But in the end, Ye Chenfeng refused them. Since the Medicine Saint Hall and Artifact Saint Hall showed no respect to Zhang Yingnian and Zhang Yingshui, their presence wouldn’t help Ye Chenfeng anyway.

Seeing that Ye Chenfeng had already made up his mind, Zhang Yingnian and Zhang Yingshui couldn’t insist any further.

The genius of Cheng Meizhen’s lineage, Zhang Chengwen, happened to be planning a visit to the Medicine Saint Hall as well. He was eager to step into alchemy, yet lacked guidance. Every time, he would spend some time lingering near the Medicine Saint Hall, hoping to encounter an alchemist willing to mentor him.

Therefore.

Ye Chenfeng directly asked Zhang Chengwen to lead the way. Cheng Yuanmu, Cheng Yiyao, and the old steward naturally followed, and eventually Cheng Meizhen joined as well. After all, even the Zhang family’s ancestor held Ye Chenfeng in high regard, so she had no choice but to accompany him cautiously.

When Ye Chenfeng and the others stepped out of the Zhang family residence, Zhang Zhixing was already waiting at the gate early in the morning. Although Ye Chenfeng refused Zhang Yingnian and Zhang Yingshui’s company yesterday, Zhang Zhixing felt uneasy. He worried about having offended this Dragon Clan Leader and had to find an opportunity to make amends. Hence, he dressed and prepared before dawn.

Parked at the entrance of the Zhang family was a small yet extremely luxurious spirit boat. Zhang Zhixing accompanied with a smile: "It’s quite a distance from the Zhang family to the Medicine Saint Hall and Artifact Saint Hall, allow me to escort you there!"

Ye Chenfeng was about to refuse, but seeing Zhang Zhixing’s anxious expression, he said: "Alright, I’ll trouble you to take us there then."

Upon hearing Ye Chenfeng not decline, Zhang Zhixing immediately laughed and said: "It’s no trouble, no trouble at all."

With a cheerful demeanor, Zhang Zhixing welcomed Ye Chenfeng onto the spirit boat.

Cheng Meizhen and Zhang Chengwen couldn’t help but sigh. Zhang Zhixing was the most stern ancestor within the Zhang family, yet now he was busily attending to Ye Chenfeng. They felt that Ye Chenfeng’s aura was only at the level of the Earth God Realm, which hinted Ye Chenfeng likely hailed from the benefactor’s family of the Zhangs. But even if he did, Ye Chenfeng would at most be a junior within that family. Zhang Zhixing and even Zhang Yingnian and Zhang Yingshui last night didn’t need to act so reverently, even voluntarily serving as Ye Chenfeng’s servants.

Unable to understand internally.

Cheng Meizhen and Zhang Chengwen chose not to dwell on it further, and after Cheng Yuanmu and others boarded the spirit boat, the two followed suit.

Zhang Zhixing controlled the spirit boat, flying swiftly towards the direction of the Medicine Saint Hall.

Ye Chenfeng only needed to find the location of either the Wus or the Jiangs, since both were at the same place.

The spirit boat flew steadily and quickly through the sky.

Due to the boat’s speed.

It didn’t take long before Zhang Zhixing landed the spirit boat on the ground.

Descending from the spirit boat, Ye Chenfeng was greeted by an immensely grand building.

The plaque on top of this building prominently displayed the words "Medicine Saint Hall", and the entrance of the Medicine Saint Hall was bustling with people. Besides housing alchemists, the Medicine Saint Hall also sold refined elixir pills among other things externally. It could be said that the most lively places in Myriad Fire City were the Medicine Saint Hall and Artifact Saint Hall.

After arriving at the entrance of the Medicine Saint Hall, the heat in the air became even more intense.

On the left side of the Medicine Saint Hall stood a three-story high red tower, surrounded densely by crowds.

Ye Chenfeng asked, "What’s that place for?"

Just as Zhang Zhixing was about to answer, Zhang Chengwen hurriedly interjected, causing Zhang Zhixing to feel irritated. He had wanted to make a good impression in front of the Dragon Clan Leader.

With a face full of envy, Zhang Chengwen explained: "That is the Medicine Tower. Every place with a Medicine Saint Hall has a Medicine Tower."

"The Medicine Tower is set up for alchemists. If you’re not an alchemist of the Medicine Saint Hall, you can go through the Medicine Tower’s three trials, and upon reaching its pinnacle, request one favor from the Medicine Saint Hall. As long as the Medicine Saint Hall is able to grant it, they won’t refuse."

"Oh how I wish I could ascend the Medicine Tower! Then I could request to apprentice under an alchemist in the Medicine Saint Hall. But alas, to challenge the Medicine Tower, one must at least be a Fifth-Rank Alchemist. Any alchemist below the Fifth Rank wouldn’t even pass the first level of the Medicine Tower."

The Medicine Tower?

A smile appeared on Ye Chenfeng’s lips. Since the Medicine Saint Hall set such a rule, as long as he succeeded in looming over the tower and posed his question to them publicly, the Medicine Saint Hall would likely be too embarrassed to refuse answering.

Last night, Zhang Yingnian and Zhang Yingshui didn’t mention the Medicine Tower to Ye Chenfeng because they weren’t aware he was an alchemist. Moreover, they understood the difficulty of passing the tower, which posed challenges even to Sixth or Seventh-Rank alchemists.

Ye Chenfeng walked towards the Medicine Tower.

The surface of the red Medicine Tower was engraved with various spirit grass.

The crowd surrounding the Medicine Tower was busy discussing.

Just as Ye Chenfeng and the others approached the Medicine Tower, a shadow was suddenly hurled out from it.

This shadow wore a black robe and hood, with the entire face concealed under the hood.

This wasn’t the Ghost Venerable they had encountered at the Myriad Fire City’s gate before! The Ghost Venerable was a Seventh-Rank Alchemist.

After being ejected from the Medicine Tower.

The surrounding murmurs grew louder.

"Wasn’t Ghost Venerable challenging the Medicine Tower? He’s already a Seventh-Rank Alchemist, yet even he failed to clear the second level? The Medicine Tower’s difficulty is just too high!"

"Well, Ghost Venerable isn’t from the Medicine Saint Hall. His methods in alchemy are unconventional and lacking in stability, which makes him slightly inferior compared to other Seventh-Rank Alchemists."

"I think the last successful attempt at the Medicine Tower happened over three hundred years ago, right? It involved a young, unconventional Fifth-Rank Alchemist at the time, and afterwards, the Medicine Saint Hall’s two ancestors personally took him as their apprentice. He’s now one of the most renowned alchemists within the Medicine Saint Hall. It’s rumored that he’s ascended two levels of rank over three hundred years and presently sits among Seventh-Rank Alchemists."

...

On being ejected from the Medicine Tower, a thick evil qi emanated from Ghost Venerable’s body. However, he dared not cause any trouble here. Although he possessed the prowess of an early Divine Venerate, the two ancestors of the Medicine Saint Hall were also at the early stages of the Divine Venerated Realm and the hall held considerable influence in the Ancient Realm.

Ghost Venerable could only suppress his burning anger. He had challenged the Medicine Tower after hearing rumors that the Medicine Saint Hall in Myriad Fire City had obtained a Heaven and Earth Flame. Now, his flame had mysteriously disappeared, leading him to urgently seek another one. This was his purpose for challenging the Medicine Tower, but he heavily underestimated its difficulty.
