Ultimate Village Doctor-Chapter 704 - 766 Master of Alchemy
Chapter 704: Chapter 766: Master of Alchemy Chapter 704: Chapter 766: Master of Alchemy Chapter 766
Long Xiaoshan hung up the phone and stepped out the door.
Just as he did the day before, he walked out of the Special Action Division’s gate.
Only this time, the guards did not stop him like they had previously, but instead watched as he left, quickly reporting to Wang Guohai.
Long Xiaoshan hailed a cab and arrived at the Butterfly Scenery Villa District.
This was one of the most upscale districts in Tianfu City, second only to those prestigious mansions by the shores of Misty Lake; owning a villa here meant having a net worth of at least fifty million, as even an ordinary villa here would cost twenty to thirty million.
Getting out of the car at the Butterfly Scenery Villa District, a voice immediately rang out.
“Master Long.”
Long Xiaoshan saw Tang Shengfeng approaching quickly, followed by Tang Yan.
...
When he reached Long Xiaoshan, Tang Shengfeng performed a very respectful formal bow and called out “Master.”
“There’s no need for such courtesy, President Tang,” Long Xiaoshan said with a light smile.
Tang Shengfeng replied, “It’s only appropriate.
I have been stuck at the threshold of the Profound Level for five years, unable to make a breakthrough.
Master’s Immortal Pill has allowed me to fulfill a long-held wish.
I have no way to repay you.
Should you have any command, I will go through fire and water without hesitation.”
For martial artists,
their cultivation is their life.
Martial artists are willing to pay any price for a breakthrough.
Although Tang Shengfeng was a billionaire chairman of a large conglomerate, he always had an obsession that no amount of money could buy—that was to truly return to the Tang Family and hold his head high among them.
As the leading Hidden Sect family of Xichuan, even with a fortune of nearly ten billion, Tang Shengfeng’s status in the Tang Family was still very low, because in families like the Tangs, money has always been secondary; what determines their status is their powerful Martial Dao cultivation.
Without even reaching the Profound Level, Tang Shengfeng was destined to be excluded from the core circle; during family council meetings, he didn’t even have the right to enter the inner chamber.
Hence in the Tang Family, he could only be considered a fringe member, otherwise, he wouldn’t have remained isolated in QY City.
But now, he had entered the Mysterious Realm with the help of Long Xiaoshan.
Reaching the Profound Level, even within Hidden Sects, meant being a master.
Even in a place as filled with experts as the Tang Family, advancing to the Profound Level meant he had at least earned the right to be part of the core circle.
Therefore, Tang Shengfeng’s gratitude towards Long Xiaoshan was beyond words.
Another point was that Long Xiaoshan’s alchemy abilities had also amazed him.
In the current Hidden Sects, elixir pills were exceedingly rare.
Most martial artists relied on directly consuming raw medicinal materials to cultivate, which, while somewhat effective, was an enormous waste of the potential power of the ingredients.
The scarcity of alchemy recipes meant that the few that existed were mostly controlled by several alchemy sects, and those capable of crafting elixir pills were even rarer—far fewer than even the Inner Strength martial artists.
This led to the alchemy sects being extremely arrogant.
When most martial artists sought pills, they either faced exorbitant prices or conditions so harsh that they might as well consume the raw materials directly.
Long Xiaoshan had actually produced a cultivation pill.
And its effects were so impressive that it could be considered a Superior Grade pill within the Hidden Sects.
A Master of Alchemy capable of creating Superior Grade elixir pills was rarer than pandas within these Hidden Sects.
How could Tang Shengfeng treat him with anything but the utmost respect?
Long Xiaoshan, with hands behind his back, accepted Tang Shengfeng’s grand salute; helping Tang Shengfeng break through to the Profound Level, he indeed deserved this respect.
He calmly said, “There’s no need for going through fire and water.
I just need you to take me to that alchemy competition.”
“Leave it to Shengfeng, Master Long, please come to my humble home to rest for a moment.
Shengfeng can tell you some details about the competition,” Tang Shengfeng said respectfully, gesturing with an inviting hand.
“That sounds good!”
Long Xiaoshan replied.
He followed Tang Shengfeng and his daughter into Butterfly Scenery Villa District.
Inside Butterfly Scenery Villa District, greenery shaded the area, with each villa spaced extremely far apart from each other—a vast expanse of landscaping, appearing as if one had entered a botanical garden.
Shortly after, they arrived at the Tang Family estate.
It was a European-style villa estate covering nearly a thousand square meters with a swimming pool in the front courtyard.
Two bodyguards stood at the gate with German Shepherds.
It was clearly the home of the wealthy.
Long Xiaoshan and Tang Shengfeng, along with his daughter, entered the villa.

An extremely elegantly dressed beautiful woman came out from inside, who bore some resemblance to Tang Yan, smiling and saying, “You’re back.”
“Meizhen, come and meet Master Long,” Tang Shengfeng hurriedly said, while also introducing her to Long Xiaoshan, “Master, this is my wife, Xu Meizhen.”
Upon seeing Long Xiaoshan, a hint of absurdity flashed in Xu Meizhen’s eyes.
Initially, when she heard from Tang Shengfeng that a master was coming, she thought he must be at least fifty years old.
Never did she expect such a young and handsome lad who seemed even younger than her own daughter.
She was unable to react for a moment.
Tang Shengfeng’s face darkened as he said, “Meizhen, what are you daydreaming about?”
A flash of embarrassment crossed Xu Meizhen’s face, finding it somewhat ridiculous to greet such a young man with formalities and address him as a master.
She even began to doubt whether her husband had been deceived.
However, Tang Shengfeng was always authoritative at home, and seeing his grim expression, Xu Meizhen reluctantly came forward and said, “Master Long.”
Long Xiaoshan waved his hand dismissively, “There’s no need for such formality, Aunt Xu.”
“Mom, this Master Long is the Divine Doctor I told you about, the one who cured my illness,” Tang Yan quickly stepped forward and said to Xu Meizhen.
“Is that so?
So you’re the Divine Doctor,” Xu Meizhen’s face immediately warmed up with much more enthusiasm and sincerity than before upon hearing this.
Tang Yan had been so seriously ill for a month.
Xu Meizhen too had been extremely anxious, living in fear for over a month.
She had expended an untold amount of effort, even flying abroad several times, but to no avail in curing her.
It caused her to lose her appetite and secretly shed countless tears, for Tang Yan was her only daughter, the apple of her eye.
If she couldn’t be cured, it would have destroyed their lives.
However, when Tang Yan suddenly recovered, Xu Meizhen was told by her daughter that a Divine Doctor had saved her, but she had never had the chance to meet him until now when she found out it was Long Xiaoshan.
“Master Long, please, have a seat, have a seat,” Xu Meizhen eagerly pulled Long Xiaoshan to sit down on the sofa.
She dismissed the servants.
And busied herself with getting water, brewing tea, cutting fruits, and arranging snacks for Long Xiaoshan with great enthusiasm.
It was Tang Shengfeng who spoke, “Meizhen, you may leave us.
Master Long and I have matters to discuss.”
“Okay, good.
I’ll go prepare lunch.
And Master, you must stay and have a meal with us,” Xu Meizhen said, glancing at Long Xiaoshan as she complied.
“That’s enough, off you go,”
Tang Shengfeng waved her away.
After Xu Meizhen left to get busy, Tang Shengfeng began to brief Long Xiaoshan about the competition of alchemical concoctions.
After listening, Long Xiaoshan finally learned that this competition was related to the recovery of the Tang Family elder.
The elder of the Tang Family had been gravely injured and had not recovered.
For this competition, they brought out the Hundred Spirits Grass to attract Pill Masters, implicitly seeking someone capable of concocting an elixir that would restore the elder’s health.
Although it was called a competition, the true purpose was to make use of it to create a pill for the Tang Family elder’s recovery.
Of course, that was not the explanation given to the public.
But being a member of the Tang Family, Tang Shengfeng was privy to some inside information.
