Chapter 260: Three Paths

Jiang Yun was slightly surprised by Xiao Zheng’s first words, not expecting that seeking medicine at the Grand Medicine Sect would involve such peculiar rules of passing checkpoints.

However, he remained silent and patiently listened to Xiao Zheng continue speaking.

"The first path tests sincerity, specifically for ordinary people;"

"The second path tests cultivation level, for non-medicine dao cultivators;"

"The final path tests pharmaceutical knowledge!"

"Each of the three paths has five checkpoints. Based on the number of checkpoints you pass, you can choose a pharmacist within our sect to help you refine elixirs."

Jiang Yun furrowed his brow, a bit puzzled, and asked, "Please explain in detail, Brother Xiao."

"Good!"

So, Xiao Zheng began to explain to Jiang Yun in as much detail as possible.

These three ways to get medicine, no matter which one you choose, as long as you can pass a test, you qualify for getting the medicine.

However, different pharmacists produce different effects with their medicine.

If you want medicine with better effects, you need to pass as many tests as possible.

If you pass the first test, you can ask a pharmacist below the second rank to help make the medicine.

If you pass the second test, you can ask for help from pharmacists below the fourth rank.

Likewise, if you can pass all five levels of tests, within the Grand Medicine Sect, you can ask any pharmacist for help.

Even including the sect master, to help make medicine!

After hearing Xiao Zheng’s explanation, Jiang Yun finally understood, but he was a bit surprised.

He never expected that the Grand Medicine Sect had such intricate but very specific criteria for those seeking medicine.

But it made sense, as the largest medicine sect in Zhongshan Province, they had countless people coming for medicine every day.

The Grand Medicine Sect couldn’t fulfill every request for medicine or turn away everyone seeking it, so they established these three paths and five checkpoints.

It was also quite fair.

Whether you were a regular person or a cultivator, whether you understood medicine or not, at least there was a chance to obtain any pill you desired within the Grand Medicine Sect.

"Brother Jiang, you can only choose one path, so please consider carefully!"

At that moment, Xiao Zheng had his back to Mei Bugu and the others, so he slyly winked at Jiang Yun and silently mouthed the word ‘medicine,’ moving his lips twice.

From his lip movements, it was clear he was saying the word "medicine."

It was clear that they hoped Jiang Yun would choose to overcome the Five Barriers of the Medicine Path in order to find the antidote.

Actually, Xiao Zheng didn’t even need to remind him. After hearing about the three ways to find the antidote, Jiang Yun had already made the decision to choose the Medicine Path.

To ensure they could find the antidote for Third Martial Brother safely, it would be best to overcome all five obstacles.

The sincerity barrier was not a concern, after all, Jiang Yun was not an ordinary person.

Even though he was much stronger than his realm and had the help of the Cold Dark-winged Bat when facing the realm barrier, if he encountered a master of a higher level, there would be no chance of winning.

Therefore, focusing on the Medicine Path barrier was a safer bet.

After all, even Jiang Yun himself couldn’t say for sure how advanced his understanding of the Medicine Path really was.

This was also an opportunity for him to understand his level of expertise in the Medicine Path!

"I choose to overcome the Five Barriers of the Medicine Path!"

Upon hearing Jiang Yun’s choice, Xiao Zheng let out a sigh of relief.

Actually, he invited Jiang Yun to the Seeking-Tao Sect with the real intention of having his master accept Jiang Yun as a disciple.

In his opinion, based on Jiang Yun’s impressive performance in the Luo family before, it would be a waste not to cultivate his talent in medicine.

The Medicine Path test would naturally be the best opportunity for Jiang Yun to showcase his talent and accomplishments in medicine.

He believed that once his master witnessed Jiang Yun’s talent in medicine, he would definitely find a way to accept Jiang Yun as a disciple.

Mei Bugu showed no expression on his face upon Jiang Yun’s choice, and continued, "Normally, the Medicine Path test needs to be taken separately, but conveniently, three days later it will be the Drug Competition for my sect’s disciples. You can participate with my fellow disciples!"

Although Jiang Yun didn’t understand the difference between Drug Competition and the Five Barriers of the Medicine Path, he knew he had no choice but to participate.

"Alright, Xiao Zheng, take him downstairs!"

With those words, Mei Bugu stood up, clearly getting ready to leave.

And at that moment, the middle-aged man couldn’t help but speak up, "Martial sister Mei, he cannot leave yet!"

Mei Bugu then looked at the man and said coldly, "Yang Shizhong! Neither of us wants to see the death of Liu Hao, but we both know the truth of the matter, and why you cling tightly to this so-called revenge issue, we both understand in our hearts!"

"Moreover, just now Jiang Yun has pointed out to you, as he said, even if he has any responsibility for Liu Hao’s death, it is enough to offset it!"

"Besides, Liu Hao is my disciple, and it was my order that sent him to the Luo family. Now that he has met with an accident, I also bear responsibility for it."

"If Brother Yang still feels dissatisfied, he is welcome to challenge me too!"

"Well…"

Mei Bugu’s words left middle-aged man Yang Shizhong speechless instantly, especially the first sentence, rendering him speechless.

To outsiders, it seemed that Yang Shizhong and his apprentice Li Changlin were doing everything to avenge Liu Hao.

But the real reason was far from that!

However, Yang Shizhong suddenly spoke up, saying, "It is true that Jiang Yun injured Guo Si at the city gate."

"Even if Guo Si struck first, when Jiang Yun hurt Guo Si in front of so many people, it was like disrespecting our Grand Medicine Sect. This matter cannot be overlooked!"

"Junior Brother Yang!" Mei Bugu coldly smiled and said, "You have the nerve to bring this up, I am even ashamed to listen!"

"On the territory of our Grand Medicine Sect, if disciples provoke others and get injured as a result, instead of properly educating our disciples as elders should, we bully the weak and show off power, trying to blame others."

"If this spreads, it will truly bring shame upon our Grand Medicine Sect!"

After saying this, Mei Bugu bowed to Master Hui, then ignored the middle-aged man and his disciple, walking briskly out of the hall.

Watching her leave, the middle-aged man’s expression changed, but he remained silent.

As he passed by Jiang Yun and Xiao Zheng, Mei Bugu suddenly spoke, "For three days, you two stay inside the hostel and do not go anywhere else!"

"Yes!"

With a nod, Xiao Zheng’s face lit up with joy, as he grabbed Jiang Yun’s hand and bowed to Master Hui before quickly leaving the Law Enforcement Hall.

Xiao Zheng was even happier than Jiang Yun, thinking that this matter would be difficult to resolve.

Although it was Li Changlin’s idea to capture Jiang Yun, informing the sect master didn’t lead to any objections.

Outsiders naturally assumed that the sect master approved of the matter.

If even the sect master supported Li Changlin, then even the master’s intervention would probably be of no use.

Unexpectedly, with just a few words, the master easily resolved the issue, bringing great joy to Xiao Zheng.

The only thing that made him feel a bit sorry was that Jiang Yun had been injured by the middle-aged man, but fortunately, in the Grand Medicine Sect, there was no shortage of medicine.

Little did he know that although Jiang Yun was injured by that finger, his powerful body had almost fully recovered in a short amount of time.

As Mei Bugu and others left the Law Enforcement Hall, Master Hui glanced at the two men and asked, "Aren’t you leaving yet?"

At this moment, the middle-aged man, even if feeling unwilling, had to bow to Master Hui and then left dejected.

As the Law Enforcement Hall regained its calm, Master Hui suddenly looked around at the empty chairs and asked, "What do you think about this matter?"
