Chapter 1136: The Two Envoys
Chen Tianlong looked at the cold-faced envoy beside him and suddenly felt like laughing because he had a sense of humor, a kind of appearance that made people want to laugh when they saw him. Cold, yet unusually cute.
"So what does it take to finally participate in the Celestial Pill Sect trial?"
Chen Tianlong asked curiously. Initially, he thought that paying the fee would allow him to enter, but he didn’t expect the rules to have changed so much this year.
"Hehe, young brother, this is your first time hearing about it, right? Well then! I’ll take this opportunity to tell everyone in the martial arts community about the conditions for the Celestial Pill Sect trial."
The fat envoy shouted to the surrounding crowd.
"The conditions for the Celestial Pill Sect trial are actually quite simple, there are only two conditions."
The fat man said with a smile.
"Which two conditions, brother Fat?"
Chen Tianlong immediately went over and asked.
"Hey, young brother, don’t rush, listen to me finish."
The fat envoy’s attitude was clearly good and he didn’t mind how Chen Tianlong addressed him.
"The two conditions are, first, you need to pay an entry fee of ten million, and I think many of you have already done so."
"Yes, this is already done."
The crowd responded one after another.
"Second, the entrance to the Celestial Pill Sect is not opened by us, but you have to find it yourself. Everyone’s entrance is different, but they all lead to the Celestial Pill Sect." The fat man said, "Starting today, the array of the Celestial Pill Sect has been activated. To enter the Celestial Pill Sect, you must rely on true skills."
"How do we find it then? Do we just blindly search everywhere?"
Chen Tianlong was a bit puzzled hearing this.
"Of course not, we will leave you two puzzle pouches, and using the hints inside, you can find the entrance to the Celestial Pill Sect."
The fat man explained.
"Wow, it’s so magical." Chen Tianlong couldn’t help but marvel.
"Haha, well then, the conditions are just that simple, good luck to everyone."
After the fat envoy finished speaking, he began to head towards the crowd: "Everyone, get ready, come to collect the puzzle pouch before this afternoon, we won’t wait past the deadline. We are at the hotel at the foot of the mountain."
Soon, everyone went down the mountain.
As if nothing had happened before. As for Mo Xiaowan’s incident, everyone was aware that someone might be trying to sow discord.
And Hao Kan and the Thunder Wolf had already been temporarily subdued, so there was no time to continue doing bad things.
Chen Tianlong walked to an empty table and sat down with Lin Wushuang, ordering a pot of tea.
At this moment, suddenly someone rushed in hurriedly at the door. There was a handprint on his Taoist robe. Chen Tianlong recognized him at a glance; he was a disciple of the Qilin Tribe.
"Senior brother, something bad has happened,"
The disciple hurriedly shouted to the Thunder Wolf.
"Oh? Xiaojian, speak slowly, don’t rush! What happened?" Thunder Wolf looked at the disciple Xiaojian who was so flustered and let him catch his breath before speaking.
"It’s... it’s the master’s illness suddenly worsened, and the doctor said he won’t live for another hour. Senior brother, you... you should hurry back to check."
Disciple Xiaojian did not dare to delay, though still panting, he had to speak.
"Ah? Has father’s illness worsened?" Thunder Wolf realized and hurriedly said, "Quick, I’ll go with you to see."
Just as he was about to leave, Chen Tianlong suddenly shouted, "Thunder Wolf, do you think you’ll be able to cure him if you rush back like this?"
Thunder Wolf took a couple of steps, thought what Chen Tianlong said seemed true, if the doctor couldn’t fix it, hastily going back himself wouldn’t help either. Suddenly he thought of something, so he turned and "pounced" down on his knee.
"Chen Tianlong, even though we had conflicts before, I beg you, save my father, I am willing to compensate at any cost." Thunder Wolf knew that Chen Tianlong was a Divine Doctor; people poisoned grievously were fixed by him in a short time.
Maybe he could help heal his father, the Thunder Marquis.
But suddenly thinking that Chen Tianlong was going to the second task tomorrow, where would he get time to manage such affairs, yet his father’s illness worsened to such an extent, come trial day he might not hold up.
So thinking it over, Thunder Wolf could only kneel, hoping Chen Tianlong would agree to temporarily control the illness, and then decide the next step.
"I beg you, Chen Tianlong."
Thunder Wolf lowered himself and pleaded bitterly.
Looking at Thunder Wolf in this manner, Chen Tianlong was also conflicted; if he agreed, he would need to spend much Powerful Qi and energy to cure the illness, possibly affecting the trial.
Moreover, the envoy’s conditions are upgrading, each might be harder than the last, and the final condition may be the hardest. If so much energy is spent now, it may become troublesome then.
Suddenly, Chen Tianlong thought of a method, then quickly and respectfully helped Thunder Wolf up, saying, "Don’t beg me yet, I have a way, would you agree?"
"What way?"
Thunder Wolf seemed to see a turn for the better and asked curiously.
"Why are you going to the trial?" Chen Tianlong asked deliberately.
"Of course to pass the trial, get the reward, and obtain the Super Great Rejuvenation Pill to save my father."
Saying this, Thunder Wolf felt a wave of sadness.
"Hmm, if I can solve this problem, can you give me the puzzle pouch?" Chen Tianlong didn’t say much, got straight to the point.
Thunder Wolf furrowed his brow and thought, then continued, "You said just now you could solve it, do you mean you can cure my father?"
"Hmm."
Chen Tianlong nodded.
"Then your condition, I’ll certainly agree to it. I am going to the trial for this; if you help solve it, what am I going to the trial for, isn’t it futile?"
Thunder Wolf circled around and expressed his consent.
"Haha, deal. I’ll take care of your father’s illness. If I don’t cure him, you don’t have to give me the puzzle pouch."
Chen Tianlong patted his chest confidently.
It’s the Fire Poison that hurt him, and for treating Fire Poison, he already has confidence; the gentleman saved in the Mongolian tent is an example.
Having said that, Chen Tianlong took Lin Wushuang, and followed Thunder Wolf’s group, hastily heading to the hotel room, where Thunder Marquis was staying. This time Thunder Wolf brought Thunder Marquis, with a bit of medicine, immediate treatment, this illness can’t be delayed by a day.
After all, it takes two days to reach the Fire Domain from the Celestial Pill Sect, by which time to take medicine back and forth, who knows what may happen.
In the bedroom, Thunder Marquis was moaning in pain, large beads of sweat kept dripping down his forehead, he was already at his limit.
"Father, how do you feel now?"
As soon as Thunder Wolf entered the door, he shouted.
"Cough, cough, Xiaolang, I’m almost done for, I’m so tired, I want to sleep."
Thunder Marquis was already on the brink of death.
"Father, don’t, you can’t sleep. Sleeping may mean never waking up again, do you know?" Thunder Wolf got anxious; if the father really slept, it would mean a permanent sleep.
At this moment, Chen Tianlong went over to look at Thunder Marquis, knowing that if not acted upon soon, it might be too late.
"Thunder Wolf, let me take a look."
Though Chen Tianlong knew the situation was grave, he also respectfully asked.
