The next day, inside the Crouching Dragon Cave…

Hundreds of the Prince of Wu Estate’s personal guards were patrolling behind the stone wall. Three figures were walking into the depths of the karst cave.

Bai Siming, who was dressed in a scholarly robe, was walking at the front with his hands behind his back and said seriously, “The two of you came at the right time. If you were a step slower, there might not be a place for Jun Mountain Terrace in Jianghu in the future. The two of you have already seen the divine effect of the Snow Lake Powder, and we’ve already made the Heavenly Carnelian Bead. The person testing the medicine is the young master of the Red Flower Pavilion, Ye Silang…”

Behind Bai Siming were Yao Wenzhong and Xuanyuan Hongzhi, who were wearing black cloaks.

Xuanyuan Hongzhi had come here to find Ye Jingtang and eliminate him. But as soon as he came into contact with Bai Siming, he heard the news of two divine medicines.

Xuanyuan Hongzhi was in charge of Jun Mountain Terrace’s finances, and he knew better than anyone how valuable the Snow Lake Powder was. As long as he managed it well, it wouldn’t be a problem to trample on a Jianghu tycoon like the Red Flower Pavilion under his feet.

As for the Heavenly Carnelian Bead, if it were really as Bai Siming had said, that it could allow people to take a big step forward, the consequences would be even more terrifying. First, he could use the Snow Lake Powder to accumulate wealth. Then he could rely on the Heavenly Carnelian Bead to create countless experts. With these two items, he could establish his own territory in a remote area.

Because of this, even though his greatest threat was still nearby, Xuanyuan Hongzhi’s interest was still piqued by these two things. While walking, he asked, “1 have seen the Snow Lake Powder with my own eyes. It is indeed a supreme treasure, but assisting the Prince of Wu to leave the country is a losing business. This item alone is not enough. This Heavenly Carnelian Bead… Brother Bai, are you sure this thing exists in the world?”

Bai Siming now had some confidence. He chuckled and said, “In the past, I would have hesitated before answering. But the night before yesterday, the two of you should know that Yujia hosted a heroes conference at the Iron River Manor. The young master of the Red Flower Pavilion was hit by the Heavenly Carnelian Bead and then severely injured Yujia with three spear strikes and one punch. If not for the effect of this divine medicine, what else could it be?”

Xuanyuan Hongzhi had seen Ye Silang with his own eyes and knew his strength very well. He felt that what Bai Siming said made sense, so he nodded slightly.

“There will be no lack of buyers for the formulas of these two divine medicines. Now, the Pacifying Heaven Cult, the Cutting Cloud Palace, and the Breaking North Cliff are all contacting His Highness. Although Jun Mountain Terrace is powerful, you only have a county marquis of Ze Province, and it’s still in the belly of Great Wei. Without enough sincerity, His Highness might not accept your offer…”

Yao Wenzhong frowned silently, but in terms of standing in the world, Jun Mountain Terrace was indeed inferior to the Cutting Cloud Palace, which had the backing of the King of Yan, and the Pacifying Heaven Cult, which had self-proclaimed itself king. He didn’t say anything about this.

The three of them continued forward and quickly arrived at the depths of the cave. After passing through mountains of medicinal herbs, they arrived at the Prince of Wu’s current residence.

Xuanyuan Hongzhi and Yao Wenzhong went forward to pay their respects. In order to ‘prove the goods’ to the two of them, Bai Siming went to the platform at the back, where dozens of medicinal furnaces were placed, to retrieve the medicine. From afar, he saw the weak-looking Guan Yujia pacing back and forth in front of a shelf and asked in confusion, “Brother Guan, haven’t you used the Earthly Carnel Bead yet?”

Guan Yujia had just run back to the Hidden Dragon Cave yesterday afternoon. He had originally planned to use a pill himself, but he felt a little lacking in confidence after the medicine was in his hand. Seeing Bai Siming return, he said, “If Ye Silang’s internal energy had skyrocketed, he shouldn’t have let me go. I don’t know the subsequent situation. What if his body exploded and he died after his internal energy soared…”

Bai Siming shook his head. “Impossible. Mr. Zhang said that being able to maintain a calm mind and multiply his combat strength means that it’s a working medicine. If he couldn’t withstand it, his meridians would have been damaged the first time he attacked you…”

Guan Yujia frowned. “Then, why did Ye Silang suddenly stop and let me go?”

Bai Siming opened his mouth, feeling that this issue was indeed crucial. But before he could figure out the exact reason, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside.

A guard quickly came over and whispered, “Sir, there’s an urgent report. Thousands of soldiers are suddenly coming toward the Hidden Dragon Cave. The scouts are already fifteen kilometers away. They’ll arrive in two hours at most…”

When Bai Siming heard this, his face turned pale. Just as he was about to ask how the soldiers discovered their whereabouts, Guan Yujia, who was beside him, immediately realized it. “No wonder… Ye Silang might be working for the Imperial Court. He deliberately let the tiger return to the mountain and followed me to the Hidden Dragon Cave. This means that there’s nothing wrong with this medicine…”

?!

Bai Siming raised his hand and pointed at Guan Yujia. Since they were in need of people, it wasn’t appropriate for him to curse. He suppressed his anger and said, “Take the medicine later. We need to relocate first. Who will take care of you if you take it now?”

Guan Yujia had personally seen this divine medicine take effect as soon as it was used. There was no need for any care at all.

But Guan Yujia wasn’t sure how long this incomplete version of the Heavenly Carnelian Bead would last or how many times he could take it.

When they encountered a fierce blockade while escaping, he would use this medicine to surprise the experts of the Imperial Court.. Doing this seemed to be more useful…
