The Pill King was extremely famous in the Flowing Wind Domain, and Chen Tianwen found out where the Pill King was with almost no effort.
Danwang City!
Because the Pill King resided here, even the city's name was changed to Pill King City, which shows just how influential the Pill King was.
The residence of the Pill King is extremely large, occupying almost a third of the Pill King City, and is much more magnificent than the City Lord's Mansion.
Actually, it makes sense when you think about it. The city lord's strength is usually only at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level, while the Pill King's status is comparable to that of a Celestial Lord!
After entering Danwang City, Chen Tianwen was also slightly shocked by the grandeur of the Danwang Mansion.
"It seems that I should seriously develop my alchemy and weapon crafting business in the future!"
Looking at the incredibly wealthy Danwang Mansion, Chen Tianwen couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
The guards outside the Danwang Mansion were all at the Golden Immortal level. The immortals who came and went all looked at the Danwang Mansion with longing in their eyes, but the guards were arrogant. No matter who they looked at, they always held their heads high. Chen Tianwen even suspected that these guards usually looked down on people!
"Go away! Just anyone who dares to dream of seeing Lord Pill King, doesn't he even know his place!"
Two guards shooed a Golden Immortal who had attempted to pay homage to the Pill King out of the gate. The Golden Immortal was dejected, but dared not utter a word of complaint. Instead, he pleaded with the arrogant guards:
"My lords, please, I beg you to inform the king of my plight. I have prepared double the amount of immortal herbs, and I only ask that the Pill King refine one elixir for me! I beg you, my patriarch is waiting for this elixir to save his life!"
As the Golden Immortal spoke, he took out a bag of immortal crystals from his robes and handed it to the two guards.
However, after the two guards accepted the immortal crystal, they still didn't give the Golden Immortal a second glance, and instead spoke sarcastically:
"Two portions of immortal herbs are needed to refine one immortal pill; that's the rule since ancient times. How dare you ask for it? I'll accept this bag of immortal crystals as payment for wasting so much of our time!"
The Golden Immortal's face turned extremely ugly, but he dared not retaliate. He could only plead with the two guards in an almost begging tone to report the incident to him.
However, the two Golden Immortal guards simply kicked the Golden Immortal away.
Fighting is forbidden within the city, except for those from the Danwang Mansion!
So the Golden Immortal who was kicked away could only suffer in silence, unable to express his bitterness.
Chen Tianwen's eyes narrowed as he watched this scene.
Isn't the purpose of alchemy to cure diseases and save lives? Even if you charge some service fees, it's understandable. But to charge double the amount of immortal herbs and only refine one elixir is just too outrageous.
What's more, they had already prepared two portions of immortal herbs and offered immortal crystals as a toll, yet the people from the Pill King's Mansion were still acting like dogs relying on their master's power!
Although Chen Tianwen had not yet met this so-called Pill King, judging from the quality of these guards, he was not impressed with him.
If this Lord Pill King had restrained his subordinates even slightly, these guards wouldn't have dared to so blatantly rob and seize!
Chen Tianwen walked over and helped the Golden Immortal who had been kicked to the ground up. The Golden Immortal gratefully bowed to Chen Tianwen, then sighed helplessly and turned to leave.
However, Chen Tianwen stopped the Golden Immortal, turned to the two guards of the Pill King's Mansion, and said:
"Aren't you going a bit too far with this?"
The two guards were slightly taken aback when they heard someone dare to speak ill of them, but when they saw that Chen Tianwen, who had spoken, was only at the Golden Immortal realm, they both showed disdain on their faces.
"Who do you think you are? Daring to interfere with the affairs of our Pill King's Mansion. And you're going too far? Do you believe that if you utter another word, I'll beat you up too?"
One of the guards looked at Chen Tianwen, who was only at the Golden Immortal level, and reprimanded him, showing no regard for Chen Tianwen's background.
What a joke! Who cares about your background? Even a powerful immortal lord would be treated with utmost respect when visiting the Pill King's Mansion. How could a mere Golden Immortal possibly be more powerful than an immortal lord?
Chen Tianwen was naturally not as powerful as the Immortal Lord, but he possessed an ability that the Immortal Lord did not have: alchemy!
Although Chen Tianwen has now lost the simplification law and can no longer simplify pill formulas, his simplification of countless pill formulas over the years has given him an understanding of alchemy that is unmatched by ordinary people!
The Golden Immortal who had been kicked away gently tugged at Chen Tianwen's sleeve and spoke up to advise him:
"Young man, let's forget it. We can't afford to offend the Pill King's Mansion!"
Chen Tianwen sighed. It seemed that the power of the Pill King's Mansion had been deeply rooted for a long time, so that even if these people were bullied, they dared not speak out. This further fueled the arrogance of the Pill King's Mansion's guards!
Sure enough, after hearing the Golden Immortal's words, the guards sneered and said disdainfully:
"At least you know what's good for you. Get out of my way now, and I might let it slide. But if you keep arguing, I'll cripple your cultivation and send you to the City Lord's Mansion for punishment!"
Chen Tianwen was also angered by the guards' words. He looked at them coldly and said:
"You keep talking about wasting other people's cultivation, what arrogance you have! I just don't know what gives you such audacity!"
The argument quickly attracted a crowd of onlookers.
Having grown accustomed to the arrogant attitude of the Danwang Mansion guards, the onlookers had become used to it. However, seeing that Chen Tianwen dared to speak to the people of the Danwang Mansion in such a way, some people began to speculate about Chen Tianwen's identity.
"Who is this person? How dare he speak to someone from the Pill King's Mansion like that?"
"I don't know, maybe it's his first time in Danwang City. He even dares to provoke people from the Danwang Mansion, this kid is really fearless."
"Do you think this kid might be a young master from some powerful family, which is why he doesn't take the Pill King's Mansion seriously?"
"Brother, are you out of your mind? The bigger the family, the more they have to curry favor with Lord Pill King. Why would they actively provoke the people of the Pill King's Mansion?"
"That's right, it seems this kid is just a simple-minded hothead."
The onlookers began to discuss the matter, and the final conclusion was that Chen Tianwen was asking for trouble.
Even the Golden Immortal whom Chen Tianwen had saved showed an anxious expression, repeatedly tugging at Chen Tianwen's sleeve and trying to persuade him:
"Brother, we can't afford to mess with these people! Let's hurry up and leave."
The two guards listened to the surrounding chatter, and both wore smug expressions.
The two guards were especially pleased to see the Golden Immortal's anxious expression.
