Shen Wang did not rush to ask questions, waiting for the other party to continue explaining the situation.
"That master has gone out now, and it is unknown when he will return."
Gui Xiang explained why Shen Wang would not be able to see the person in a short time.
"Do you know where they have gone?"
"They went to represent the Valley at the Medicine King Conference."
"Medicine King Conference..."
Shen Wang had heard of this grand event, a gathering for herbal trade and an exchange of alchemy experiences, held in the Medicine Province, known for medicine. It was normal for Jade Silkworm Valley to attend, given their expertise in medicine and poison.
However, the distance from Xi Province to Medicine Province was quite far, separated by one province, spanning ten thousand miles.
Even if he used Sword Flight without rest, it would be difficult to reach in a day, faced with various uncertainties on the road.
He frowned and said: "Is there anyone else in your Valley familiar with this Black Poison?"
"As far as I know, probably not. Even if there were, it would be even harder for you to meet them."
Gui Xiang shook his head, "If you, Younger Brother Shen, are in a hurry, you may only be able to find that master at the grand event in Medicine Province. After all, the Medicine King Conference lasts for three months, and the key is that we servants do not know whether that master will return immediately after the event."
Shen Wang could not say that he was not urgent for the moment, as he had just mentioned it was friends and family who were poisoned. Helplessly, he said: "It seems that’s the way. May I know how to address that master?"
"Respectfully known as Great Pharmacist Mo Lan, she is the younger martial sister of our current Valley Master, of high status. Be sure not to be discourteous when you seek an audience."
In consideration of the Spirit Stone, Gui Xiang revealed more detailed information.
"Alright, I’ve noted it down, many thanks to Brother Gui for making the trip."
Shen Wang cupped his fists.
"No need to thank me, you should hurry now, so as not to delay the healing time."
Gui Xiang waved his hand.
"Okay, then I’ll take my leave first."
Shen Wang chose to leave, taking advantage of the early hour, he could still return home.
Upon reaching the exit, he returned the just-warmed token, and after moving some distance away, he took off directly using Sword Flight.
After he left, Gui Xiang and a few others came out to watch his departing figure, whispering amongst themselves.
"Feels person isn’t panicking at all, perhaps he’s lying."
"Finding a cure for Black Poison seems true; could it be that there is some descendant of the Black Death Blade King?"
"Who cares, we don’t need to worry about matters of this level, just record it properly."
No one paid much attention to Shen Wang, in their view, he was just a Qi Cultivation Cultivator. Even if there was some trouble, it wouldn’t be too significant.
Shen Wang, on the other hand, raced all the way back to his ancestral home, feeling somewhat dejected.
He had prepared so thoroughly to come, yet did not meet the person, returning without success, quite embarrassing.
"The Medicine King Conference hasn’t officially started yet, even if I go, it wouldn’t necessarily lead to an immediate meeting, and the distance is too far. I should continue gaining rewards for some time."
Shen Wang had to change his plans; the final competition of the Medicine King Conference was in April, with the start time being mid-January, there was still more than half a month left.
Looking at the array of the ancestral home, he decided to exchange for some Spirit Stones and reinforce the array, upgrading it a level, so he could travel far with greater peace of mind.
The next life was placid, his daily routine involved making talismans for a living, cultivation, learning, and enhancing his system rewards.
With a pregnant wife added to the family, Shen Wang’s cultivation speed improved significantly.
While Shen Wang was planning to stay at home and revive up to the Ninth Layer Qi Cultivation in one go, three days later, suddenly someone came to visit.
While arranging the second set of arrays, Shen Wang detected the visitors, putting down what he was holding to greet them.
Three people came, an elder, a middle-aged, and a youth, the elder at the front wore a gold-threaded white robe, with a portly stature.
Shen Wang recognized them and said in surprise: "Steward Yun actually personally visits, I’m somewhat overwhelmed by the favor."
"Who came to visit you? Perhaps it is to call you to account."
The young man on the side sneered, with a poor attitude.
"Kaihe, do not be rude."
Yun Conghui reprimanded.
"It’s just a small Talisman Master, secretly rescuing people, yet he thinks he’s so formidable."
The young man curled his lips.
Shen Wang walked out from the array, giving the young man a cold look: "Looks like the three are here to call to account, not as guests."
He could not understand why the Yun Family people had this attitude; he had killed three leaders of Black Water Stronghold and had saved people, which should have saved the Yun Family’s face, how could such a response happen?
"It’s good that you have self-awareness."
The young man sneered, "Just because of you, all the Yun Family captives were killed, not directly dealing with you is giving Uncle Hui face."
Shen Wang heard this and narrowed his eyes; he did not expect Black Water Stronghold to outright kill the captives, luckily, he had saved Paper Kite in time.
However, it was possible that his act of saving people and killing three leaders infuriated Black Water Stronghold into killing the others in anger.
If it were the latter case, the other side indeed seemed justified.
But such a thing he would never admit, showing a mocking expression: "Quite the tall hat, not seeking revenge from Black Water Stronghold, but coming to find me?"
He couldn’t fathom how Black Water Stronghold could dare to kill captives, and after killing them, the Yun Family only came to find him; he didn’t believe there was no issue in between.
"You still dare to talk back!"
The young man immediately showed a hostile expression.
"Shut up, who told you to speak!"
Yun Conghui scolded, explaining to Shen Wang: "Mr. Shen, don’t be mad, we’re not here to cause trouble."
