Pill God Returns

Wu Chen wasn't surprised. The snapdragon, Hai Likui, and Fan Yunxing were hard to find. Especially the snapdragon. The conditions were even more stringent. He wasn't even sure if such a thing really existed in Sky Martial Continent.    

"No. What should I do?"    

Yu Jiaorong started to worry. Wu Chen was now her mother's attending physician. They would unconditionally fulfill any request he made. Because all of this was related to her mother's illness. However, they were unable to find the herbs that he needed... Didn't that mean that her mother's illness could no longer be cured?    

"Young Heroes, take a look. These three medicinal herbs must be taken. Can you use other medicinal herbs to replace them?"    

Grand Elder was also in a difficult position. These three herbs were really not found in the vault of Mermaid Clan. Furthermore, even in the surrounding area, it seemed like there wasn't any place where these herbs could be found.    

"This... Let me think about it."    

Wu Chen fell into deep thought. Yu Jiaorong and Grand Elder were looking at him, but they didn't disturb him. Wu Chen was of utmost importance to Mermaid Clan, because he was the hope of saving Yu Wushuang.    

After a while, Wu Chen said, "Hai Likui and Fan Yunxing, these two things can be substituted."    

"What?"    

The two of them were pleasantly surprised. With substitutes, things would be easier.    

Wu Chen said, "You can use the Glazed Star Fruit and Yun Haiyang to replace these two things. I wonder if you can get the Glazed Star Fruit and Yun Haiyang?"    

The Glazed Star Fruit and Yun Haiyang's life?    

Yu Jiaorong was very unfamiliar with these two nouns. She had never heard of them before and did not know what they were.    

However, Grand Elder was pleasantly surprised. Seeing this, Wu Chen said, "Seeing how happy you are, you should have some."    

"Yes." Grand Elder nodded and said, "Young Heroes, these two medicinal ingredients are in the treasury of our Mermaid Clan."    

"That's good, that's good."    

It would be much easier if there were things to do. They were alchemists. The greatest taboo of alchemists was to lack medicinal herbs and medicinal herbs. No matter who it was, no one would be able to concoct a pill. This was without a doubt. Even if he was Pill God, he was no exception.    

"Where's the snapdragon? Wu Chen, is there anything that can replace it?" Yu Jiaorong asked again.    

"Snapdragon?"    

Wu Chen fell into deep thought and his brows knitted tightly. This snapdragon was the most important medicinal ingredient in his prescription. He searched through his memories and there seemed to be nothing that could replace this kind of thing.    

"No, there is nothing that can replace it." Wu Chen could not help but shake his head.    

"Nothing can replace it. What should we do?"    

Yu Jiaorong's face was full of disappointment. The hope that had been lit up with great difficulty had been extinguished just like that.    

Wu Chen shrugged his shoulders. Since there were no medicinal herbs, then even if it was him, there was nothing he could do. A clever woman could not cook without rice. No one could make something out of nothing.    

"Eh, wait a minute."    

Suddenly, the Great Elder seemed to have thought of something.    

"Great Elder, you?"    

Wu Chen and Yu Jiaojiao looked at her curiously.    

Great Elder said, "I think I know where the snapdragon is."    

"Really? Great Elder, tell me quickly, where can I find the snapdragon? "    

Yu Jiaojiao was extremely happy. The Great Elder's words were undoubtedly their life-saving straw in their despair.    

It was the same for Wu Chen. He was very surprised. Something like the Fire Dragon Grass was very hard to find. Initially, he thought that there might not be such a thing in the entire East Mystic Region, or even the entire Tianwu Continent, let alone the Eastern Sea.    

However, after hearing what the Great Elder said, it seemed like he could really find such a thing. He really wanted to see what kind of place it was that could produce such a good thing.    

"That place, no, it shouldn't be."    

The Great Elder fell into deep thought.    

Yu Jiaojiao impatiently asked, "Great Elder, what place are you talking about? Hurry up and say it."    

Right now, the only medicinal ingredient that Wu Chen needed was the snapdragon. As long as she could find the snapdragon, then her mother's illness would be cured.    

The Great Elder looked at them and said slowly, "The place I'm talking about is actually related to our mermaids. It's a big forbidden area for us mermaids."    

"Forbidden area of the Mermaid Race? What does the Great Elder mean? "    

Yu Jiaorong's face changed dramatically, and her face turned pale. Even her body couldn't help but tremble.    

"What place are you talking about?"    

Wu Chen was very curious. This Fire Dragon Grass had extremely harsh growing conditions. It could only be found in the most positive places, but according to the Great Elder, it seemed like there was such a thing at the bottom of the ocean. How was this possible? How could there be a place with the purest Yang energy at the bottom of the sea?    

After a while, the Great Elder said, "Young Heroes, to tell you the truth, there is a forbidden area about fifty miles northwest of our merfolk territory. Once we merfolk break in, it will be very difficult for us to survive."    

"Forbidden area?"    

The Head Elder nodded. "Yes, that place has devoured countless lives of our merfolk. So, about a hundred years ago, our Mermaid Clan leader listed that place as a forbidden area. He strictly forbade us mermaids from entering. "    

"Since it's already a forbidden area, no one is allowed to enter. Then, how do you know that there might be snapdragon there? " Wu Chen was very curious.    

The Great Elder said, "That's because our Merfolk literature records that there is a snapdragon growing there. If no one goes in to pick it, that Fire Dragon Grass should still be inside."    

Wu Chen frowned. The lifespan of the Fire Dragon Grass was quite long. It would not be a problem for it to live for a few hundred years. He had even seen a snapdragon that was over a thousand years old.    

However, it had already been a hundred years, so it was a huge question whether the Fire Dragon Plant was still there. If someone went in and picked it, it was very possible.    

Furthermore, he was even more curious about why there was a Fire Dragon Grass in the mermaids' territory. This kind of plant could only grow in places with the purest Yang energy. This was the deep sea, and it simply didn't meet the basic requirements.    

"Young Heroes, look at this?"    

The Great Elder hesitated. After all, that place was the forbidden land of the mermaids. Once the mermaids entered, it was very likely that they would not be able to come out.    

Wu Chen said, "We can't lack snapdragon. If that place really exists, we can make a trip there."    

The Great Elder looked at him. Wu Chen wasn't a member of the mermaids. If he went in, he might be safe and sound. However... If he went in alone, if something went wrong... If he died there, what would others say about the mermaids? How would the Beichen House explain it to them?
