Over The World, Beyond Heaven

Chapter 1076 1076: Exchange Deal

After the meeting ended, everyone dispersed and returned to their duties. But before leaving, many elders came to talk to Zheng-Fu, wanting to get to know him personally. Most of them were the elders who chose to side with Die-Chang-He. Because Zheng-Fu's identity was more interesting and likely to have a brighter future than Die-Chang-He, they chose to distance themselves from Die-Chang-He.

And of course, Die-Chang-He had no right to say anything else. He already knew that he was in a downward spiral. If he said something bad, it could affect his position. It was good enough that he did not face any punishment for his wrongdoing. So, he said nothing but quietly walked out of the main building without paying any attention to anyone else.

Half an hour passed, in the main hall of the Third Dormitory...

"What are you saying? You said you're leaving the Three Suns Force? And where will you go? And if you leave, how will you cultivate without resources?" Yun-Xiang-Kong shouted loudly in shock when he heard what Zheng-Fu said. Because leaving the Force meant missing many aids. Whether it was a safe place to stay, resources for cultivation, or even people who would be there to help.

"I told you that I have a place to go. And if you aren't ready to go with me, you can stay here. I have already told the Force Leader. And he promised to take good care of you all and would never let something like that happen again. Because if it happens again, I'll never let them go!" Zheng-Fu did not want to brag. But he was confident that he would soon be able to do as he said.

"I..."

"Zheng-Fu, I know you probably made this decision out of anger. Won't you think about it again?" Zhe-Chun was not at all comfortable with Zheng-Fu's decision. He thought that Zheng-Fu might have just done it out of anger.

Blop!

Zheng-Fu reached out to grab Zhe-Chun's shoulder and said, "Zhe-Chun, I didn't decide to leave here because I was angry. But because I didn't plan to join the Force in the first place. Even if this didn't happen, one day I would have to leave anyway. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked for conditions to live independently from the beginning. As for you, you have been here for a long time. I know that you're quite attached to this place. In that case, you and the others should stay here. I believe that someday we will meet again. And this is... a parting gift!"

Zheng-Fu looked into Zhe-Chun's eyes, and he knew that Zhe-Chun was hesitating and thinking hard about this matter. Therefore, he decided to let Zhe-Chun stay there with the others. Before he left, he gave Zhe-Chun a dimensional ring that contained the remains of all the Deity Apprentice Stage Savage Scaled Snake Monster Beasts that he had killed.

"This is a dimensional ring, right?"

"What's in it? If it were something very valuable, I probably wouldn't be able to accept it. You..."

"Take it! As for what's inside, you'll know when you open it. It'll be very useful for you and the others. All right, I have to go. I made an appointment to have dinner with the Force Leader. If there's a chance, we'll meet again!" Zheng-Fu did not want to tell at that time what was inside. Because if he told him, Zhe-Chun would not dare accept it. So, he immediately cut off his words and left.

Zheng-Fu!!!

Zheng-Fu!!!

Zhe-Chun, Yun-Xiang-Kong, and the others all sadly called out to Zheng-Fu in unison. Although their time with Zheng-Fu was not very long, Zheng-Fu helped them a lot. They, therefore, did not want Zheng-Fu to leave and wanted to be together forever.

"Let's go, Zhe-Chun! We go to speak with Zheng-Fu again. Maybe he'll change his mind!" Yun-Xiang-Kong suddenly stood up and asked Zhe-Chun to go with him to convince Zheng-Fu to change his mind.

"It's no use, Comrade Yun! If he wants to go, we can't hold him back. We can only wish him well and wait for his return!" Zhe-Chun shook his head, immediately rejecting Yun-Xiang-Kong and choosing not to go. Because he looked into Zheng-Fu's eyes just now and saw Zheng-Fu's serious intentions. There was no hesitation in those eyes.

But...

"Right as Zhe-Chun said, Younger Brother Yun! I believe we'll definitely meet him again," Wen-Hai approached Yun-Xiang-Kong and comforted him. Even though he was not as close to Zheng-Fu as Zhe-Chun and Yun-Xiang-Kong were, he was no less impressed with Zheng-Fu. And he thought Zheng-Fu had his reasons for making that decision. And he believed that they would meet Zheng-Fu again.

Sigh!

In the hall of the main building that was arranged to be a dining room...

After coming out of the Third Dormitory, Zheng-Fu returned to the hall in Three Suns Force's main building again to eat with the San-Kong-Tian and the others.

"Come in, Zheng-Fu, come and sit here. I have already prepared a seat for you." As soon as San-Kong-Tian saw Zheng-Fu entering, he hurriedly beckoned him to join the table immediately.

"Thank you, Elder San!"

Zheng-Fu nodded and thanked San-Kong-Tian politely. Because he saw that the other party had good intentions, he did not disrespect the person who had done good to him.

Creeeaak!

Thud!

"Today's meal, I told our cook to prepare it with all his skill as an apology to you for the past. If it weren't for me just waiting and thinking about testing you, I wouldn't have to lose you today!" San-Kong-Tian said with a sad face.

"Don't blame yourself, Elder San! When we meet, we must part. It's a normal thing in the world. But this parting doesn't mean that we'll never meet again. Anyway, our relationship is still the same. And as I said, I'll never forget the good things you guys have given me. Come on, let's have a drink. I would like to drink to pay homage to you all!"

Gulp!

Zheng-Fu knew that San-Kong-Tian wanted to hold him back. But it would never succeed. Because he had already decided to leave that place. So, he changed the topic and invited everyone to drink.

Have a drink!!!

Only seven people were participating in this dinner. Those were the four San brothers, who were the force leader, and the three vice force leaders. The other two were elders from the Ten Thousand Heavenly Medicines Tower: Bei-San-Yi, head of the Medicines Tower, and Yi-Fong-Qiao, the deputy head. And the last person was Zheng-Fu, who was an important guest.

Half an hour passed...

"It's a pity that you will leave our Force. If you were still here, I believe we would have gotten many more improved medicine concoction recipes." Yi-Fong-Qiao looked at Zheng-Fu and said with a regretful look in his eyes. He knew that Zheng-Fu had quite a bit of ability in concocting medicine. If Zheng-Fu were still there, he would help them a lot.

"That's right! I have received some reports about this. But I never had the chance to meet you even once until I found out that you wanted to leave the Force. Sigh, what a pity! But never mind. Everyone has the right to make their own decisions. However, earlier, we sent a report to the Apothecary Association asking for the Three-star Apothecary badge for you. And this... please take it!" Bei-San-Yi, who was sitting next to Yi-Fong-Qiao, said in an admiring tone. Before he took out a Three-star Apothecary badge and gave it to Zheng-Fu.

"Thank you so much, Elder Bei! But I have not yet taken the test and concocted medicine in front of you. How are you so sure that I can become a Three-star Apothecary?" Zheng-Fu was quite surprised and shocked to see that the elder had given him the Three-star Apothecary badge because to be promoted, one must first pass the test and have been confirmed. But he had not yet taken the test and concocted the Soul Level medicine for the two elders to see.

"It's not necessary. Because Senior Master Mei and Senior Master Ren had reported to me about the matter of you using the concocting room to concoct medicine upon request. And within the room you used, there was still the scent of Soul Level medicine lingering. Even though it's already very diluted. But we, apothecaries, will never be infallible in proving. Besides, after you used that room, no one used it again. Therefore, we're confident that it must be you who concocted the Soul Level medicine."

Elder Bei-San-Yi explained how he knew. He and all the elders in Ten Thousand Heavenly Medicines Tower had carefully inspected it and were confident.

Sigh!

"It was my fault for not being more careful. Since the matter is like this, I can only accept it without any excuses. Yes, I can concoct the Soul Level medicine. And it's also the ultimate Soul Level Qi energy-increasing pill. But the reason why the smell was faint, you all know what I did." Zheng-Fu shook his head and secretly scolded himself for not being more careful. But now that they knew, Zheng-Fu did not bother to hide it anymore and directly admitted it.

Hah!?

"Ultimate Soul Level Qi energy-increasing pill? Can you really concoct it? Is it true? If so, then you have a medicine concoction recipe for..."

"Yes, I can really concoct. But I can't give you the recipe. However, if it's the recipe for the ultimate Marvelous Qi energy-increasing pill, I can give it to you. But…" Zheng-Fu could not give them the recipe for the Soul Level pills he concocted. He could only give medicine concoction recipes of a lower level than this. However, he stopped speaking in the middle of his sentence and made a long, suspicious sound to tease the two elders.

But what?!!

It worked exactly as Zheng-Fu had thought. When Zheng-Fu did not speak further, the two elders hurriedly asked in unison. It was as if they were a choir that knew they had to sing together.

"You guys are really impatient. I'm going to tell you that if you don't need it, that's fine! I'm not forcing you to get it. After all, I gain nothing and lose nothing." Zheng-Fu just wanted to tease the two of them. And he was actually hinting to the two of them that if they wanted this medicine concoction recipe, they should find something equivalent to exchange.

"Need! We definitely need it! But may I ask, what can we exchange for the ultimate Soul Level Qi energy-increasing pill concoction recipe?" Of course, Elder Bei-San-Yi was a smart person. He could understand Zheng-Fu's meaning well. So, he asked to see that he was not wrong.

"That matter... Erm... It depends on what item you'll bring to exchange. And will it be as valuable as my medicine concoction recipe?"

Zheng-Fu smiled slightly at the corners of his mouth in satisfaction. Because he would exchange this medicine recipe for a large amount of Soul Level herbs, which he would use to concoct the ultimate Soul Level Qi energy-increasing pills again. After all, the original recipe belonged there. He just borrowed it and made a few modifications to make it of better quality. However, Zheng-Fu would not give them the recipe he used. He would make minor adjustments to slightly reduce the quality and quantity of its results.
