Battle Through the Heavens: Reborn as a Devouring Python, Medusa is taken home.

Chapter 141, Heading to the Valley of Burning Flames

Ning has been openly refining medicine in Blackwind City for several days now.

Many people came because of his reputation, and were willing to spend a lot of money to ask Ning Su to refine pills for them.

Ning Su also made a fortune—even setting aside any other motives, the rewards a seventh-grade alchemist receives for refining pills for others are very generous.

Alchemists are the most lucrative profession, and this will not change even after they come to Zhongzhou.

Moreover, the higher the level of the alchemist, the more money they earn.

After Ning Su helped these people refine pills for several days.

Finally, the person he was waiting for arrived.

"Make way! Make way! Someone's coming!"

"Queuing up? Everyone has to queue... Valley Master Tang?!"

"My God! It's actually Valley Master Tang of Burning Flame Valley!"

When they saw Tang Zhen emerge from the crowd of Burning Flame Valley disciples, everyone was dumbfounded.

The owner of the Burning Flame Valley, Tang Zhen!

As a vassal city of Burning Flame Valley, Blackwind City naturally knew Tang Zhen.

Upon seeing him arrive, everyone immediately made way for him.

Tang Zhen, on the other hand, headed straight for Ning Su.

"Hello, if you need any pills refined, please line up," said Little Fairy Doctor.

She knew the strength of Burning Flame Valley, but they were waiting for Burning Flame Valley here.

So even when Tang Zhen came in person, Little Fairy Doctor didn't change much.

Everyone else thought she was being too arrogant, not even putting Tang Zhen in her eyes!

Even if she has a seventh-grade alchemist behind her, she shouldn't put on such an arrogant attitude, right?

Tang Zhen didn't care. Instead, in front of everyone, he bowed to Little Fairy Doctor and said, "I am Tang Zhen from Burning Flame Valley. I have something to ask Mr. Ning Su. Please help me inform him."

Tang Zhen's unusual politeness left everyone else somewhat dumbfounded.

At the same time, many people sighed inwardly, "As expected, alchemists are indeed noble, even Dou Zun experts have to treat them with respect."

"Valley Master Tang, please wait a moment."

Little Fairy Doctor turned around and went back to inform Ning Su.

The others waited anxiously outside.

After a long while, Little Fairy Doctor finally came out and said,

"Valley Master Tang, our master has just finished refining medicine and is resting now. If you wish to see him, you will likely have to wait half an hour."

The crowd erupted in uproar!

"No, Valley Master Tang is coming to see us in person, and we still have to wait?"

"This guy has quite the airs... Burning Flame Valley is a top-tier power in Central Continent."

"They have the strength and confidence to back it up! Don't forget, the Ice Venerable of Ice River Valley died at the hands of this Mr. Ning Su not long ago."

"That's right, given Mr. Ning's status and position, there's really no need to be so polite."

The group discussed it amongst themselves, and then they all felt that although Ning Su's actions were somewhat disrespectful to Burning Flame Valley, they couldn't really criticize him.

"It's alright, I'll wait here for half an hour," Tang Zhen said politely.

His politeness surprised Little Fairy Doctor.

She originally thought Tang Zhen would feel insulted and leave immediately.

"Alright, then I'll trouble Valley Master Tang to wait here for a moment."

After saying that, Little Fairy Doctor went inside.

……

"So, is Tang Zhen willing to wait or has left?" Ning asked.

"He stayed."

"It's alright, which means he still respects me quite a bit."

Ning Su only said he needed to rest, but in fact he's quite free right now.

He deliberately made Little Fairy Doctor tell Tang Zhen that he would have to wait half an hour.

This can be considered a game of strategy, which helps to gain the upper hand in later negotiations.

Whoever is willing to lower their stance from the beginning will always be overshadowed later on.

Soon, half an hour had passed.

Little Fairy Doctor went out and welcomed Tang Zhen in.

"Valley Master Tang, I've long admired your name," Ning Su greeted him with a smile.

"Mr. Ning, it should be me who has long admired your name." Tang Zhen also bowed politely, while his eyes were sizing up the young man in front of him, and he was surprised.

He had always thought Ning Su should be an elderly person, or a middle-aged man of similar age to him.

After all, being able to defeat the Ice Venerable requires considerable skill; it's difficult to cultivate such strength without reaching a certain age.

Tang Zhen was quite surprised by Ning Su's youthful appearance.

"I never expected Mr. Ning to be so accomplished at such a young age; it truly surprises me."

"Valley Master Tang, you flatter me. Do you not know what brings you here?"

The latest novel is first published here!

Ning Su introduced the main topic.

"To be honest, Mr. Ning, I've come here to ask you to help me refine a high-grade seventh-rank pill. And you can rest assured about the reward; our Burning Flame Valley will definitely offer the most generous compensation," Tang Zhen said.

"It's no trouble at all. As long as Valley Master Tang can provide the payment, I can help you refine the pills."

"However, the pills I'm going to refine this time are rather special, and I need Mr. Ning Su to come to our Burning Flame Valley to help refine them."

"Go to your Burning Flame Valley?" Ning Su asked, looking troubled.

"Mr. Ning, please rest assured, our Burning Flame Valley is willing to offer three times the reward," Tang Zhen immediately offered.

"Alright, seeing how sincere Valley Master Tang is, we'll go with him."

Upon receiving Ning Su's consent, Tang Zhen immediately beamed with joy.

"Great! When can we set off?"

"at any time."

And so, Ning Su and Little Fairy Doctor followed Tang Zhen to Burning Flame Valley.

On the surface, they appeared to have reached a deal.

In reality, it was Tang Zhen who needed Ning Su's help.

After all, Ning Su could still earn money by helping others refine medicine even if he didn't help them, and he wouldn't have to waste so much time.

However, he also had his own ulterior motives, which is why he agreed to Tang Zhen's request.

To be precise, Ning Su openly helped people refine medicine in Black Wind City in order to lure Tang Zhen into a trap.

……

"By the way, Valley Master Tang, I can't stay too long this time, at most one or two days," Ning said.

"Why?" Tang Zhen asked anxiously.

They haven't finished preparing the Fire Bodhi Pill they're going to refine yet; it probably won't be ready in a day or two.

"To be honest, I actually have two more companions who got separated due to an accident, and I still have to go find them," Ning sighed, her face full of worry.

"I thought it was something difficult. Mr. Ning, you can rest assured. Once we arrive at Burning Flame Valley, I will immediately send my disciples out to help you find people. With more people, our efficiency will definitely be faster than if you search on your own," Tang Zhen said.

Ning Su was waiting for those words.

"Isn't that too much trouble for Valley Master Tang?"

"It's no trouble at all, it's nothing!" Tang Zhen said.

As long as Ning Su can stay a few more days to help him refine the Fire Bodhi Pill, what's a big deal about finding someone else?

Little did they know, this was Ning Su's plan.

"Alright, then I'll have to trouble Valley Master Tang."

Ning Su and Little Fairy Doctor exchanged a glance, both understanding each other perfectly.

Soon, the two followed Tang Zhen to the Blazing Fire Mountain Range where Burning Flame Valley was located, and successfully entered the interior of Burning Flame Valley...
