Li Shizhen: God Chen, you’re funny. Three-star Divine Medicines are worth a king’s ransom. None of us has it.

Chen Xiaobei: Then what should I do? Is there any medication on earth that can be used in its place? I have a lot of herbal medicines in the Infinite Space Ring – what I lack is a formula!

Hua Tuo: This is a new ailment. If we’re using the methods of Traditional Chinese Medicine, then we’ll need time to do research. We might need a combination of a few hundred herbal medicines, and a very specific concoction to be able to recreate the effects of a Three-star Divine Medicine!

Chen Xiaobei: That’s a lot of work. I don’t have much time. I’ll need some other ideas! Elder Shennong would probably have this medicine, right?

Sun Simiao: Of course, he does. But he’s very close to Chanism and is under Shen Gongpao’s watchful eyes. He may not help you.

Li Shizhen: Even if he is willing to help you, he would probably slap you with exorbitant demands!

Chen Xiaobei: I don’t care. What’s more important to me is that brother Xiangyu can be saved. Even if Shennong decides to take advantage of me! I will have to let him do it!

Hua Tuo: Oh, God Chen! You really are so benevolent, and I truly admire you for that!

Li Shizhen: Xiangyu is lucky to have brother like you!

Sun Simiao: Heaven helps those who are worthy. I believe the gods will bless Chen Xiaobei and Xiangyu.

Chen Xiaobei’s phone rang.

‘Ding’

‘Master Acheron sent you a message’

“Wow! Master Acheron! He used to avoid me all the time, why is he contacting me out of the blue?

Chen Xiaobei quickly bid farewell to the three and clicked into the private chat with Acheron.

Acheron: I am sure that God Chen is an intelligent man. Now why would he feed the lamb to the tiger?

Chen Xiaobei: It’s been a long while, Master Acheron! What do you mean anyway?

Acheron: Chanism is the tiger, and your merit points would be the fattened lamb. Isn’t buying the medicine from Shennong akin to feeding the lamb to the tiger?

Chen Xiaobei: You were spying in the chat group again huh! 

Acheron: How is that spying? It’s an open group. I’m recuperating in the Blood Sea, and I was bored so I just checked out the group chat. That’s very normal isn’t it?

Chen Xiaobei: Alright. Let’s not talk about that then. Since you saw our conversation, and since you contacted me privately, please speak your mind!

Acheron: God Chen really is a straightforward person. Fine, then. I’ll just tell you. I have a medicine that could cure Xiangyu’s illness. If you want it, I’ll send it to you right away! Free of charge!

Chen Xiaobei: Free of charge? There’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world!

Acheron: Aren’t Hundred Ghost Parade painting and Asura Divine Mirror free lunches? How did it taste?

Chen Xiaobei: It was due to blind luck that I got the Red Envelope. It’s not considered free!

Acheron: Was it really pure luck?

Chen Xiaobei: Wasn’t it?

Acheron: That was my first time participating in the Red Envelope Snatching Session, and I only gave out two envelopes. Why was it that out of all the thousands of people, you, God Chen, received both?

Chen Xiaobei: That… Can you control the Red Envelopes so that they reach a specific person?

Acheron: No, no, no. I don’t have that kind of authority.

Chen Xiaobei: Then how did you do it? And you could exit the group without anyone noticing! You even changed the description of the item in the system!

Acheron: The Tree Realms Intranet hasn’t even been set up for year. Considering it is so new, there are still some loopholes that most people haven’t discovered. Only a person as bored as me can find it. That’s how I did everything you said. Of course, I didn’t dare use it at my whim. If it was not for all the Sanqing Saints being at the Ancestral Lord’s place, I would have been caught!

Chen Xiaobei: You really know how to take advantage of loopholes don’t you…

Acheron: We’re way off topic here! Do you want the medicine or not?

“One who is unaccountably solicitous hides evil intentions!” Chen Xiaobei rubbed his forehead as he thought aloud. “But Sifu assured me that I should not be worried about using Acheron’s stuff! Whatever, I’ll take it first. With my Sifu’s protection, even Acheron wouldn’t dare mess with me!”

Chen Xiaobei: Yes! I want it, of course! What does Master Acheron want? Name your price!

Acheron: I told you that I don’t want anything in return! God Chen, get ready to receive a private package!

‘Ding’

Congratulations! You have received a Red Envelope from Acheron.

A bottle of Abyssal Golden Toad’s Blood has been stored inside the Treasure Chest!

‘Ding’

[Abyssal Golden Toad’s Blood: Retrieved from the heart of the Golden Toad that lived in the underworld for 10,000 years. Three-star Divine Medicine. There are 100 drops in each bottle. Would you like to retrieve it?]

Chen Xiaobei: I’ve gotten the Red Envelope. If it works, I owe you one, Acheron! Also, I’m also sending you one merit point in case Shen Gongpao comes sniffing around for trouble!

Acheron: There’s no need for that! Shen Gongpao wouldn’t dare come near Blood Sea!

Chen Xiaobei: What about the Primordial Lord of Heaven? You’re not afraid of him either?

Acheron: I would be lying if I said that I’m not. But I am not worried at all! The calamity is near. He won’t come give me an ass-whopping for much a small matter.

Chen Xiaobei: Alright! That’s it then! I have to go save Xiangyu! Talk to you some other time!

Chen Xiaobei stuffed his phone back into pocket and mumbled to himself, “He really is one of the most powerful saints. This Master Acheron is quite gallant! It would be great if he’s on my side when the calamity happens.

“Ah, I’ve got to stop! That’s for some other time! I have to save Xiangyu first!”

Chen Xiaobei retrieved the pale green jade bottle from the Infinite Space Ring.

After he uncorked it, he took a whiff. He had wanted to test the authenticity of the medicine but he suddenly grew anxious. “It smells very strongly of blood! There’s even an evil presence about it. Could this stuff be used?”

“Urgh…”

Zaar, who was actually standing far away, threw up at the smell.

“Bro Bei, what is that in your hands?”

Yin Wuqiu had always been the kind of guy who acted first and talked later. His hands were stained by the blood of countless enemies. But right now, even he seemed to be affected by the smell.

“Good medicine is bitter to the taste! I don’t think Acheron is pulling anything with this one!”

Chen Xiaobei decided, and then poured a drop of the Abyssal Golden Toad’s Blood into Xiangyu’s mouth.

The blood was green, and had a pale golden glow about it. When it fell into Xiangyu’s mouth, the light spread and penetrated Xiangyu’s flesh and blood, circulating all throughout his body.

Chen Xiaobei checked Xiangyu’s pulse, watching the changes and not missing a single detail.

“He’s better! His pulse is recovering! Acheron did not trick me! Bro Yu will be alright!”

Chen Xiaobei’s shoulder slumped in relief, a smile plastered on his face. He could finally breathe now.

Yin Wuqiu and Zaar let out a sigh of relief as well and the frightening presence of Chen Xiaobei finally dissipated.

“At this rate, Bro Yu should recover completely within three days! We should just wait in here until he gets back to normal. If I bring Bro Yu out now, many people will freak out!”

Chen Xiaobei made up his mind.

“Go! Give all the victims one drop each!” Chen Xiaobei tossed the bottle of Abyssal Golden Toad’s Blood to Yin Wuqiu.

Then Chen Xiaobei thought to himself, “Since I don’t have anything to do now, let me go and mess with Shen Gongpao!”
