Past life sage: This life a dual cultivator

Chapter 31 - Firecloud Treasure Pavilion



"Take this pill to your young miss. She will be fine after taking it", Zhan Chen spoke. Grandmaster Wang nodded his head as he looked at the pill with glittering eyes.

"I can't believe that I have managed to concoct such a pill! It's purity has reached at least eighty percent", grandmaster Wang spoke as he observed the pill. ​​

"Young master, can you tell me whether you started concocting pills or not?", grandmaster Wang's eyes flickered as he asked Zhan Chen.

"No, I have yet to concoct a pill on my own", Zhan Chen replied.

A disappointed look appeared in the eyes of grandmaster Wang after he heard the answer of Zhan Chen. "Looks like I am thinking too much. His cultivation is still too low to concoct a pill on his own ", he muttered inside his mind.

"Young master, please don't forget about my request. Meeting your teacher is very important to me", grand master Wang looked at Zhan Chen with a pleading look.

Zhan Chen felt surprised for a moment. After all, alchemists had their own dignity and pride. Now that, grandmaster Wang was assuming such a look Infront of him, Zhan Chen could understand that it must be something important to the old alchemy grandmaster.

"Elder Wang can leave with peace of mind. I will surely put forward your request Infront of my teacher. Moreover, even if he denies to meet you, you can tell me about your problem, I will discuss your problem with my teacher", Zhan Chen replied with a smile.

"Many thanks, young master. You can visit me anytime in the Firecloud treasure pavilion", grandmaster Wang spoke with gratitude in his eyes. He took out a square shaped token and gave it to Zhan Chen.

"What is it?", Zhan Chen asked after receiving the token. The token was purple coloured and a faint glow was coming from its surface

"It is an identity token of our master. Every alchemist can give such a token to a single people, they are associated with. These token are very precious as every alchemy grandmaster has only one such token with them", one of the attendant replied this time.

Zhan Chen felt confused for a moment but chose not to ask any further. Grand master Wang and his two attendants bade him farewell after Zhan Chen received the token.

---------------

"Grandmaster, is there any need to show them such courtesy?", one of the attendant of grandmaster Wang asked to him. They were now out of the Zhan family's estate. So, he chose to speak his mind.

Grandmaster Wang paused his footsteps and threw a glance towards the attendant who just spoke. His gaze fell upon the other attendant of him. He saw the same indignant expression on the face of his other attendant.

"Step inside the carriage first. We will talk on our way", grand master Wang spoke and entered the horse carriage which was kept outside the Zhan family's estate.

"You two should be wandering about why I give my purple alchemy token to the young master of Zhan family, right?", grand master Wang looked at his two attendants after the carriage started to move forward.

The two attendants nodded their head. "Grandmaster, you have also promised to refine pills for them Infront of their eldest madam. Is not it inappropriate?", the other attendant who had not spoke untill now chose to speak.

"Sha Hu, are you telling that I am wrong?", grand master Wang frowned and threw a meaningful look at his attendant.

"Master, I don't dare", the attendant's body became stiff after listening to grandmaster Wang.

"Sha Hu, stay away from Gu family for some time. I know you have dealing with them but don't agree to their request recklessly. Our young miss has dealing with them and it looks like Zhan family has managed to find themselves a powerful backer. So, it will be good for us to stay away from the muddy water", grandmaster Wang spoke. The two attendants nodded their head in response as the atmosphere in the luxurious carriage fell into silence.

"Don't try to belittle the fifth young master of Zhan family again. You should receive him with utmost respect whenever you next meet", grandmaster Wang spoke after staying silent for a moment.

"Master, can this senior really help you?", the other attendant who was sitting beside Sha Hu asked.

"I am not sure but this time I have hope", grandmaster Wang spoke as he recalled the baffling method of Zhan Chen.

The luxurious looking horse carriage didn't take much time to reach the Firecloud treasure pavilion. Grandmaster Wang stepped outside and his two attendants followed after him.

The Firecloud treasure pavilion was a three storied building and it was located in the centre most part of the capital of the Red cloud kingdom.

Grand master Wang stepped inside the three storied building and soon reached its reception hall.

"Welcome back grand master. Young miss is waiting for you in the second floor", an elegant looking middle aged lady spoke to grand master Wang. Grand master Wang nodded his head and strode towards the uppermost floor of the building.

The uppermost floor of the Firecloud treasure pavilion was nothing like the other floors of the pavilion. It was the personal space for its manager and generally offlimit to even grandmaster Wang.

"This old subordinate sees young miss", grand master Wang bowed upon seeing Shen Ruyan who was sipping tea in an elegant manner.

"There is no need for you to bow. How is your trip?", Shen Ruyan asked without showing any emotion in her words.

"The trip is good. The Zhan family has really given birth to a talented young man", grand master Wang replied.

"Oh, looks like Zhan Chen has caught the interest of grandmaster", Shen Ruyan spoke with a smile on her face. Grand master Wang felt mesmerized by her smile but quickly managed to calm down himself.

He brought out a pill container where a translucent pill with bluish colour was stored. "Young miss, this is Profound Lifespirit pill. This subordinate has concocted it with the guidance of Zhan family young master", grand master Wang spoke after taking out the pill.

"Show it to me", a hoarse voice came and before grandmaster Wang could reply, the pill contain was taken by a old woman.

"Senior", grandmaster Wang immediately greeted the old woman who had just taken the pill container.

The old woman only nodded her head without looking at grandmaster Wang. She quickly opened the pill container and took out the translucent pill.

A strong medicinal armoa wafted in the air as soon as the pill was taken out. The eyes of the old woman lit up as she sniffed the medicine.

"Have you refined it?", she asked grandmaster Wang. Grandmaster Wang nodded his head in response.

"You have done well. You will be rewarded for your effort", she spoke.

Grand master Wang nodded his head and bade his farewell soon after.

"Young miss, this pill is incredible. Now we can only see it's effect after you take the pill", the old woman spoke after grand master Wang left.

A trace of hope and anticipation appeared on the face of Shen Ruyan as she took the pill from the old woman.
