Shennong Dao Master

"What should I do?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Fulfill your role as the Thirteenth Prince and avoid making any outrageous moves to prevent creating void historical events."

Yang Baihe sternly warned. "Remember, if void historical events occur, we mustn’t hesitate and retreat immediately because such accidents are terrifying."

"The Transmission Building operates by its own rules; if we get too deeply entangled, we might not be able to return and could even be ’automatically corrected’ by its boundary repair method."

Zhao Xing remembered when he first entered the Transmission Boundary City of the Yueluo Cemetery, a fairy named Tao Hong Fairy had turned into a Book Puppet after losing the protection of the Taishi Crown; she was ’corrected’.

"I’ll follow your advice," Zhao Xing promptly stated, leaving the professional matters to the professionals.

If both Yang Baihe and Ji Si thought it was time to leave, he wouldn’t hesitate to activate the Boundary Jade in his hand to exit the Transmission Realm.

...

The Skywind Palace set off from Daqian Ancient Country and smoothly arrived at the Apothecary Star System.

Such smooth progress must mean Ji Si gained the upper hand against another Fate Master in their battle of wits.

His prophecy was fortified through the spell of Ren Qiu and further reinforced by Ji Si.

The Cause and Effect Technique impacting the same prophecy grows increasingly difficult.

Just like a Magic Theory circulated for generations, altering even a single word is exceedingly difficult.

Ren Qiu believed her Cause and Effect Technique surpassed Ji Si’s. She intended to stir up trouble using Ji Si’s casual words as a prophecy to steer the situation to her favor.

Unexpectedly, Ji Si subdued another Fate Master early and reinforced the [Prophecy]. By the time Ren Qiu wanted to reverse it, it was already too late.

[Arriving at the Medicine King Realm will surely be smooth sailing, saving half the time.]

[Two teams not belonging to this era will be slower, expending more time. — Ji Si]

Ren Qiu’s eyes reflected the Path of Cause and Effect, a surreal river surged before her, manifesting this segment of text.

"Ji Si? What a Ji Si," Ren Qiu realized that matters wouldn’t go her way. She and Ji Si both participated in the ’Cause’, and Ji Si completed the ’Determined Fruit’.

In this journey race, the opponent had won.

To reverse the Path of Cause and Effect now would cost a prohibitive price, equivalent to an attack by both Ji Si and Ren Qiu combined.

"I borrow cause to determine fruit, he steals fruit to dictate the heavens."

"This person is likely from the Imperial Heavenly Master Mansion of the Red Star Empire," Ren Qiu explained, "I was careless in this round, not expecting that ’Tang Rumei’ to be so timid, unwilling to engage Ji Si in a cause-and-effect duel."

Lord Sang Yu frowned, "Is the impact significant?"

Ren Qiu snorted, "This is just a prelude, letting him lead first is of no consequence."

"He only entered the Medicine King Realm half a month earlier than us,"

Due to the duel between Ji Si and Ren Qiu, Zhao Xing’s originally planned three-month journey was extraordinarily lucky, with all checkpoints green-lighted, saving half a month.

Ren Qiu, Lord Sang Yu, and Lord Fengyang arrived at the Medicine King Realm half a month later.

As for Tang Rumei’s team, they would be delayed by various ’accidents’, taking at least six more months to enter the Medicine King Realm.

The Fate Masters’ conflict left no bloodshed, encountering foes in the void, yet could genuinely impact the future.

"Ren Qiu, I hope for no more mishaps," Lord Sang Yu was somewhat displeased, "If you fail again, the compensation I promised will be void, and you’ll have to compensate for my losses."

"Rest assured." Ren Qiu’s plump body quivered, "The Imperial Heavenly Master Mansion may be formidable, but I’m not one to be trifled with, Lord Sang Yu, just enter the Medicine King Realm as planned and play your part."

"You’ll find that things will proceed unusually smoothly."

Lord Sang Yu took a deep breath and then piloted the Boundary Boat into the Medicine King Realm.

By now, Zhao Xing, Ji Si, and Yang Baihe had already been in the Medicine King Realm for half a month.

"Boom~" The Skywind Palace landed on the ground, the gates opened, and Zhao Xing’s Prince’s Escort Team emerged from the Sky Wind Palace.

Music played, fairies scattered flowers, the Guard General raised the star lamp, flaunting an impressive display.

Zhao Xing glanced around; he was now situated in the ’Xialing’ Blessed Land of the Medicine King Realm.

Below was a White Jade Square, already with Medicine King Realm people waiting.

"From Daqian Ancient Country, the Thirteenth Prince has arrived!"

As the palace guard announced, Zhao Xing’s flower-styled chair floated down the flower path.

The welcoming team of doctors consisted of over thirty people, uniformly wearing Moon Star Robes and Feiyu Jade Belts.

Unlike the lineage of Ancient Medical Guardian Tianchen, Tianchen and his disciples wore vestment robes predominantly black and gold, with Glazed Jade Belts.

This was because the Medicine King Realm mainly inherited the Medical Dao of the Feather Emperor Era, while Ancient Medical Guardian Tianchen carried on the traditions from the Li Emperor Period.

The Feather Emperor Era primarily treated with elixirs, emphasizing non-invasive treatment, where one elixir could cure myriad ailments.

The Li Emperor Period’s doctors, however, advocated examining the source of illness within the patient’s body, prioritizing the best treatment methods, even if it meant disregarding the patient’s comfort, employing needles, surgery, and medication without hesitation.

"Xialing Wang Shuning greets the Thirteenth Prince," the leading doctor slightly bowed to Zhao Xing. "It truly illuminates Xialing that the prince can attend our Medicine King Realm’s rare treasures conference."

"Pharmacist Wang is too kind." Zhao Xing said while sitting in the flower chair, bowing slightly, "Forgive me, for I am unwell and unable to perform the full ceremony."

"No need to stand on ceremony, Your Highness. You’ve come from afar; after the long journey, please enter Fuling Palace to rest."

Wang Shuning gestured to lead the way, and a large entourage of guards and palace maids followed Zhao Xing along the cloud path.
