Divine Emperor Demon Emperor

The Royal Family agreed to Lin Yun’s request immediately. While they found it strange, asking the Royal Family’s Earth Level Six-Stars Alchemist to treat Wang Tianwen’s hidden injury was not a major issue.

"Lin Shan, We have high hopes for you. The Southeast Domain’s Green Talent List competition begins in one year. When the time comes, We hope you will be able to achieve a good ranking for Yanhuang Country."

The voice drifted through the empty inner hall, and as it faded, the figure on the high platform departed.

This summons from the Royal Family served as confirmation that Lin Yun’s status as one of the top ten geniuses on the Yanhuang List was officially recognized. Although he hadn’t even seen the Emperor’s face, Lin Yun couldn’t care less about such things.

Led by another eunuch, Lin Yun returned to the Wang Family estate and told Wangcai what had happened. Upon learning that the Royal Family’s Earth Level Six-Stars Alchemist would be coming to the Wang Family to treat Wang Tianwen tomorrow, Wangcai danced with joy.

He hurried to find Wang Tianwen and said excitedly, "Father, the Royal Family’s Alchemist is coming to treat you tomorrow! This is wonderful! Your injuries can finally be healed!"

Hearing this, Wang Tianwen also beamed with joy. He had long since lost all hope, yet with Lin Yun’s help, the day of his recovery was actually arriving.

For such a joyous occasion, it was only natural for someone with Wangcai’s personality to want a proper celebration. That evening, Wangcai and his father, Lin Yun, Chen Xin, Li Ji, and the others sat down to a sumptuous feast. Laughter and cheerful chatter filled the air. Wang Tianwen, in particular, was in high spirits, his entire demeanor brimming with renewed vigor.

But as the saying goes, one man’s joy is another’s sorrow. While Wang Tianwen and his son were ecstatic, Wang Tianwu and his son were overcome with gloom.

They hadn’t expected Lin Yun to actually use such a rare opportunity to have Wang Tianwen healed. Now that the Royal Family had agreed, the matter was set in stone. Even if Wang Tianwu wanted to stop it, there was nothing he could do.

"Father..." Wang Yun looked at his father, wanting to say something but trailing off.

Knowing the resentment in Wang Yun’s heart, which he himself also felt, Wang Tianwu sighed deeply. "The matter with Wang Tianwen is now a foregone conclusion. We cannot question the Royal Family’s decision. Fortunately, my cultivation is at the Ninth Layer of Qi Sea Realm. Even if Wang Tianwen recovers from his injuries, he won’t be able to shake my position in the short term. There will be opportunities to deal with them in the future."

He said this, but Wang Tianwu knew that a higher cultivation level was only a temporary advantage. ’Once Wang Tianwen is cured, his status in the family will inevitably rise with the tide. I must suppress him again before he has a chance to fully recover.’

Behind the glamorous facade of a great family lay endless strife. Wang Tianwu was a perfect example. As his biological brother, not only was he not happy about Wang Tianwen’s impending recovery, but he was already plotting how to deal with him.

The night passed without a word. Early the next morning, Wang Yi, Wang Tianwu, and Wang Tianwen were already waiting respectfully at the entrance to the Wang Family estate. Today was the day the Royal Family’s Earth Level Six-Stars Alchemist was to arrive.

After waiting for about an hour, a carriage exclusive to the Royal Family slowly approached from a distance and came to a stop at the Wang Family’s entrance.

Seeing the carriage, Wang Yi was the first to step forward to greet it. An old man with snow-white hair was the first to descend. Although he looked to be nearly seventy years old, his skin, astonishingly, was extremely smooth and tender—he had the face of a youth despite his crane-white hair.

"Master Wu." Facing the old man, Wang Yi didn’t dare put on any airs, greeting him with extreme enthusiasm.

Master Wu was Yanhuang Country’s only Earth Level Six-Stars Alchemist, an Imperial Alchemist hired by the Royal Family at great expense. In terms of status within Yanhuang Country, even a Primordial Ocean Realm expert would have to be polite upon meeting him.

The esteemed position of Alchemists was universally recognized on the Celestial Spirit Continent. After all, the Elixirs they refined could not only save lives but also rapidly increase one’s cultivation.

There wasn’t a single Martial Artist who didn’t need Elixirs from an Alchemist.

It was precisely because of this enormous demand for Elixirs that Alchemists built up vast networks of connections. An Alchemist’s own Combat Power might not be high, but the network they could mobilize was beyond imagination.

Even experts above the Primordial Ocean Realm would show some respect to an Earth Level Six-Stars Alchemist.

"I have come today by order of His Holiness to treat Wang Tianwen’s hidden injury. Let’s go. Find me a quiet place," Master Wu said softly.

Hearing this, Wang Yi quickly ordered his men to make preparations. Before long, Master Wu, led by Wang Yi and Wang Tianwen, arrived at a quaint and Elegant Courtyard.

"Mm, you may all leave." Master Wu nodded in satisfaction at Wang Yi. Soon, only Master Wu, Wang Tianwen, and Master Wu’s student remained in the Elegant Courtyard.

Not many people had ever seen Master Wu’s student. However, if Lin Yun had been present, he definitely would have slapped himself a couple of times to see if he was dreaming.

Wasn’t this Lu Tao, Lu Bingning’s younger brother? That profligate young master was now Master Wu’s student.

"Lu Tao, bring me the Vein Shaping Pill I refined," Master Wu instructed Lu Tao.

Hearing the command, Lu Tao eagerly scurried over with the Vein Shaping Pill.

"This is a Vein Shaping Pill I refined last night. It is an Earth Level Six-Stars Elixir," Master Wu said to Wang Tianwen. "I have heard a little about your injuries; they were caused by severed meridians. The Vein Shaping Pill can reconstruct the meridians in the human body. Take it now."

Taking the Vein Shaping Pill, Wang Tianwen still felt as if he were dreaming. ’An Earth Level Six-Stars Elixir! This is the highest level Elixir in all of Yanhuang Country, and one that money can’t buy at that, because only Master Wu can refine Earth Level Six-Stars Elixirs in the entire country.’

Under Master Wu’s supervision, Wang Tianwen consumed the Vein Shaping Pill. As the Elixir entered his body, he quickly felt a distinct change in his previously severed meridians. It was like a pupa breaking through its cocoon and being reborn.

"This is incredible!" he said excitedly.

"Don’t talk. Focus on refining the Vein Shaping Pill," Master Wu interjected.

Inside the Elegant Courtyard, Wang Tianwen focused all his effort on refining the Vein Shaping Pill. Outside, Wangcai had dragged Chen Xin, Li Ji, and even Lin Yun to wait with him.

With his father finally able to recover, Wangcai was the most excited of all. Unwilling to leave for even a moment, he kept his eyes glued to the entrance of the Elegant Courtyard.

"I’m telling you, Wangcai, since Master Wu himself is here, there’s no doubt your father’s injuries will be fine. Can’t we just go back and wait?" Li Ji said from the side, bored.

Hearing this, Wangcai flared up and roared, "Are you my brother or not? My father can finally be healed! As his son, how could I not stand guard at the door?"

"Li Ji, just let him be for today," Lin Yun added.

Lin Yun could well understand Wangcai’s current mood. ’For five years, he’s waited day and night for this very moment. Now that it’s finally here, how could he not be emotional?’

"Young Master Lin..." Looking at Lin Yun, Wangcai was filled with a gratitude he didn’t know how to express.

"Alright, alright. You said it yourself, we’re brothers, aren’t we?" Lin Yun said with a smile. ’I really can’t stand seeing a grown man break down in tears in front of me.’
