Rebirth: Ancient Sword God

Recently, it had been very lively.    

It was the day of Pill Refining Competition in Eastern State. There was still less than a month's time before the outstanding Apothecary from all the regions in Juque City gathered in Juque City.    

When Lin Hao arrived at the Juque City, he went straight to the Pill Pavilion. When he arrived at the entrance of the Pill Pavilion, Zhou Tong, who had just received the news, went out to welcome him.    

"Elder Brother Zhou, long time no see. " Lin Hao said with a smile.    

Zhou Tong looked at Lin Hao with a strange expression and said, "Lin, it has only been half a year, and you are about to break through to the Elemental King Stage. "    

"Still a long way to go. " Lin Hao replied with a smile.    

"Come, come, come. It has been hard on the road. I have already arranged a guest room for you. Take a rest first. " Zhou Tong warmly led Lin Hao to a luxurious guest room.    

"Elder Brother Zhou, if you have something to do, go ahead and do it. Don't worry about me. " Lin Hao said.    

"Alright. Lin, don't treat me as an outsider. If you have any needs, just tell me. I will go and finish what I have to do first, then I will come and have a good chat with you. "    

In the evening, Zhou Tong, who looked obviously a little tired, went to Lin Hao and said, "Lin, I'm sorry. This matter has become more and more complicated, causing me to be confused and disoriented. You won't blame me, right?"    

Lin Hao smiled and said, "How can that be?"    

Zhou Tong laughed heartily and said, "Let's go. I'll bring you to meet some people. They are all here to represent the Pill Pavilion in this trip to the Pill Refining Competition, so that you can get familiar with them in advance. At that time, we'll be able to take care of each other. "    

In a luxurious private room of a restaurant, Zhou Tong and Lin Hao arrived at the scene. There were already two middle-aged men who looked to be in their forties or fifties waiting in the private room.    

"I'm sorry, I'm a little late. " Zhou Tong said with a smile after bringing Lin Hao into the private room.    

"Pavilion Master Zhou, you are an hour late. You need to drink more later. "    

"That's right, that's right, Pavilion Master Zhou. Why don't you introduce this little brother next to you?"    

"Wait, let me guess. If I'm not wrong, this little brother of yours should be Lin Hao!"    

These two men obviously had a good relationship with Zhou Tong. They were talking and laughing.    

Zhou Tong nodded and smiled. "Well, I haven't even said anything yet. You guys just keep talking. How could I have the chance to introduce myself? "    

"That's right. The person beside me is Keqing Lin Hao from the Pill Pavilion. He is a friend of mine, and he has helped me a lot. This time, he will also represent the Pill and Treasure Pavilion of Juque City to participate in the Pill Refining Competition. At that time, the two of you will have to take care of him for me. "    

"Lin, let me introduce him to you as well. This is the chief of Pill Pavilion in Flying Phoenix City, Apothecary, Liang Xun. "    

"This is our Pill and Treasure Pavilion of Juque City's Apothecary, Fan Wen. This fellow has always liked to travel outside. If it wasn't for Pavilion Master Yue Shan's outburst, he probably wouldn't have come back. "    

Lin Hao bowed towards the two of them and said, "Lin Hao greets Alchemist Liang and Alchemist Fan. "    

Liang Xun stroked his small beard and said, "Lin Hao, since you are Pavilion Master Zhou's friend, you don't have to treat us as strangers. We are all on the same side. Just call me Elder Brother Liang from now on. "    

Fan Wen, on the other hand, had a pale face and a slightly plump body. He smiled and said, "That's right. You don't have to be so polite. Come, come, come, take a seat. After waiting for so long, I've been thinking about the good wine and dishes here for a long time. It's rare for me to come back, Zhou Tong. I'll make it clear first. You can't be stingy later. I'll order the best dishes and the best wine! "    

In a short while, the table was filled with delicacies and exquisite dishes. They were all rare Strange Beast meat. As for the wine, although it was not comparable to the Madman Jius Madman Jiu brewed, it was still not bad.    

During dinner, Zhou Tong, Fan Wen, and Liang Xun were talking and laughing. Moreover, the three of them were well-versed in the ways of the world. As they reminisced about old times, they would not neglect Lin Hao. The atmosphere was very pleasant.    

After eating and drinking his fill, Liang Xun looked at Zhou Tong and said, "Pavilion Master Zhou, has the matter of He Zhan and his disciple taking part in the Pill Refining Competition been settled?"    

As soon as these words were spoken, Fan Wen, who was standing at the side, had an unpleasant expression on his face. He said, "If this He Zhan is going to participate in the Pill Refining Competition, I don't care how Yue Shan goes mad. I will continue to travel the world!"    

Zhou Tong sighed and said, "I say, why are you two still so emotional? Pavilion Master Yue Shan is doing this for the sake of our Pill and Treasure Pavilion of Juque City. There was a good result in the Pill Refining Competition this time. If they continued to be at the bottom, the level of the Pill and Treasure Pavilion of Juque City would drop. Do you want to see this happen? "    

" He Zhan and his disciple have indeed decided to participate in Pill Refining Competition. Although they are arrogant, their skill in concocting pills is truly high. Give me some face and focus on the overall situation! "    

Liang Xun nodded and said, "Alright, I have no problem with that. Fan Wen, don't be so stubborn. "    

Fan Wen snorted coldly. "For the sake of the two of you, I'll let this matter go. "    

- - -    

After leaving the restaurant, Liang Xun and Fan Wen returned to the Pill Pavilion first, while Lin Hao and Zhou Tong slowly walked along the streets of Juque City.    

"Elder Brother Zhou, what's going on with this He Zhan and his disciple?" Lin Hao asked.    

Zhou Tong sighed and said, "He Zhan. He was originally the chief of the Pill and Treasure Pavilion of Juque City, Apothecary. Originally, he was determined to get the position of Vice Pavilion Master. However, because of his arrogance, he had offended many people in the Pill Pavilion. Thus, the position of Vice Pavilion Master fell into my hands. He Zhan was full of hostility towards me, and in a fit of anger. . . Then, he brought his disciple and left the Pill Pavilion. "    

"Who would have thought that He Zhan went out to travel for a period of time? After obtaining some fortuitous encounters, not only did the cultivation increase to the first level of the Elemental King Emperor Realm, but it also increased his cultivation base by leaps and bounds. His skill in alchemy has also improved by leaps and bounds, and he has vaguely touched the threshold of sixth rank Apothecary. Now, even Pavilion Master Yue Shan. . . He Zhan had even taken the initiative to ask. He wanted to participate in the Eastern Pill Refining Competition, and both of them wanted to take the top three positions in the Pill Refining Competition. "    

"As for the conflict between that old brat Fan Wen and He Zhan, it's something that has happened many years ago. "    

Lin Hao glanced at Zhou Tong and said, "Elder Brother Zhou, I think He Zhan still wants to use this as a condition to replace you. "    

Zhou Tong nodded and said, "Replace me. This is not important to me. However, Lin, you have to be careful. He Zhan's disciple, Qin Chuan. After following He Zhan and obtaining some lucky chances, he had become a Fourth Level Apothecary. He will be joining your group to participate in the Pill Refining Competition, but no matter how arrogant they are, they won't be able to do anything. After all, they represented the Juque City, so they wouldn't do anything out of line. You just need to pay a little bit of attention. "    

"Elder Brother Zhou, don't worry. I will know what to do. " Lin Hao said.    

Initially, Lin Hao had joined the Pill Refining Competition because of Zhou Tong. Now, he had his own purpose, which was to collect more water attributed alchemy resources.    

Lin Hao believed that this trip to the Pill Refining Competition would not disappoint him. In fact, there was a great chance that he would be able to gather all the ingredients needed to refine the Water Pill!
