Chapter 910: Meeting the Divine Doctor
After the heavenly contract was announced to the world, both the Yun Clan and the Pill Tower were stunned. The former thought this contract was just something that could prevent the Pill Tower Master to turn his back on the promise that placed his tower as a collateral. Who would have thought that the contract would really attract the Heavenly laws and with it as a witness, the Yun Clan realized that they cannot cheat their way to win only through their talents.
Seeing this contract flying through the heavens and disappearing, everyone believes that this contract can only be seen again three months later. Thinking of this three month duration, the Yun Clan can only grit their teeth in anger. They should have changed the waiting duration to just a month instead of three. That three months on the contract was something they had written in the contract to put pressure on the Pill Tower. Now it has become a waiting time before they can get what they want.
Upon seeing this the Yun Clan’s Fifth-grade Alchemist glances coldly at the Pill Tower Master, Han Siyu, before taking his leave with his entourage.
He said, "Tsk! You were lucky! Let’s go."
Only when the Yun Clan had left the area that the other people had dispersed in front of the Pill Tower building leaving no other people lingering in the area anymore. Hei Yu suddenly appeared behind Pill Tower Master Han Siyu’s back before anyone could notice.
"Let’s go. The Mistress had been waiting." said Hei Yu.
With him leading, Hei Yu had walked towards the ordinary looking carriage parked at a certain secluded area. The moment the Pill Tower Master had seen the carriage which looks ordinary in the eyes of others, his eyes on the other hand had glowed and he seemed surprised seeing the material this carriage is made from.
"Tribulation Wood?" Pill Tower Master Han Siyu murmured.
Hei Yu knocks lightly at the door and peeks inside. He spoke a few words at the door before turning his head to look at the Pill Tower Master who had turned unexpectedly silent before the carriage. What he didn’t know was that Han Siyu’s wandering thoughts were ongoing, especially upon seeing the carriage closer.
’A carriage made from tribulation wood, meant this carriage is priceless. There are also traces of formation coming from inside the carriage. If I get closer I can see through this formation but I don’t dare to do so. There are at least two Emperor realm cultivators inside,’ this is Pill Tower Master Han Siyu’s thoughts.
Hei Yu looked at him and said, "The Mistress said that you can go inside. Follow me~."
Leading the way, Hei Yu climbed back to the carriage. Pill Tower Master Han Siyu hesitated only for a moment before following him inside the carriage. As soon as he stepped inside, Han Siyu realized that the interior of the carriage is completely different from what he had expected. As if the space between the outside world and the interior of this place had been shifted. Pill Tower Master instantly recognized that it was a space elemental formation which was spread in the area and it was a high level one.
Hei Yu had guided him inside and walked towards the living room area and passed by the others staying in this place. He recognized one of the men playing chess as the owner of the Hanging Herb Garden, Evergreen’s leader, Lord Shi Chuan.
Lord Shi Chuan is playing chess with Tan Shengyu, "Hey! How many times are you going to take back a move, Shengyu?"
"Come on. It’s just carelessness, the stone piece just accidentally fell to that area. I just picked it up~." Tan Shengyu said.
Lord Shi Chuan said, "Shameless! I am not playing anymore!"
"Don’t be like that! Let’s place gomoku instead," said Tan Shengyu.
Lord Shi Chuan retorted, "In your dreams~"
Hei Yu didn’t bother them and led the way to where the Moon Goddess and the Immortal Sun Emperor were staying. However, as the two passed by, Tan Shengyu and Shi Chuan glanced at the Pill Tower Master.
Tan Shengyu said, "Is this the one you are talking about?"
"He is the Pill Tower Master, Han Siyu. Someone from the Han Clan and is a seventh-grade alchemist," said Lord Shi Chuan. "Actually, he is not a bad person. He is honest and reasonable. If the herb his tower needs is not available in the garden or if it has run out, he will not complain like the other guests. He would just say that he would come back once the herb is available."
"Quite a patient man," murmurs Tan Shengyu while sneaking a piece on the board.
Slap!
"You are cheating again! I don’t want to play anymore!" Lord Shi Chuan said.

Meanwhile in the other room where the Goddess of the Moon and the Immortal Sun Emperor are staying...
Hei Yu knocks on the door of a certain room. It seems that the whole carriage had been renovated into a house while Hei Yu was gone. If not for him sensing the auras of the Moon Goddess and that dangerous looking man beside her, he would have gotten lost.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
"Mistress, Lord Shen, I had brought over the Pill Tower Master," said Hei Yu at the door.
A low, magnetic voice of an adult man comes out from the room saying, "Let him in. You may rest."
"Yes, Lord Shen!" Hei Yu turns back and meets the eyes of Pill Tower Master Han Siyu. "Go in. The Divine Doctor is waiting for you inside."
Yawns~
"Now I can finally take a nap~" said Hei Yu as he walked away leaving Han Siyu to handle himself before the two big shots.
Pill Tower Master Han Siyu took a minute to calm down before finally holding the handle of the door and pushing it. Once the door was opened, he pushed it inside as he entered. He was surprised to see one extremely gorgeous young lady in black veil and a swordsman who glanced at him dangerously as if walking him if he is someone with worth or not.
Shen Jueyang slightly frowned when he felt a similar aura from before. However, he seems to be unable to recognize who owns this familiar aura.
He glanced at the tower master and said, "Take your seat."
The Pill Tower Master took the opposite seat where Yue Xuexia and Shen Jueyang were seated. The Moon Goddess is calmly drinking her tea when she suddenly hears the whisper from the Immortal Sun Emperor.
"Xue’er, don’t you think this old man’s aura is familiar?" Shen Jueyang whispered.
However, he had no intention of lowering his voice or avoiding Han Siyu to hear it. In short, he actually doesn’t care at all even if Han Siyu heard his words. There is nothing he needs to be scared off because of this man.
The Moon Goddess on the other hand after hearing the whisper from the Immortal Sun Emperor.
She responded to the man beside him, "Is similar to the young master who was scolding us before. They are related by blood."
She moved her gaze to the old man in front of her and placed the Divine Doctor Token she had always had after receiving the legacy of the divine doctor appeared on the table in front of them. The moment the Pill Tower Master saw the token his whole body trembles in both excitement and disbelief.
The Moon Goddess said, "You can touch it to examine the jade closely."
Pill Tower Master Han Siyu carefully picked up the token with divine doctor characters written on it. He had only seen this token as a drawing that was left behind by his master before he died. This token now on his hand was completely the same as the one in the memory. Only then did he realize that this woman whose face was hidden in a veil was truly the master of the Pill Tower he had inherited from his old master.
After carefully placing back the token on the table, Pill Tower Master Han Siyu knelt down before the Goddess of the Moon and saluted.
"This servant, Han Siyu from the Pill Tower greets the Divine Doctor!" Han Siyu said.
The Moon Goddess lifted her hand making the kneeling Pill Tower Master stand up. Now that this man is willing to recognize her identity, what comes after next will be easier to achieve now.
She said, "Stand up. Let’s go and visit your Pill Tower. I want to see for myself what kind of pills you are making and why you are only a seventh-grade alchemist."
Upon hearing this the old alchemist in front of him had a slightly crimson shade on his face as he bowed his head and escorted the group into his Pill Tower himself. The carriage moved from their original secluded spot to the entrance of the Pill Tower itself.
