Hearing the voice, Zhang Yi also stopped his scolding and turned to look at the door.
When he saw it was Chen Qing, the stern expression on his face softened considerably. He even managed a rare smile, his tone becoming a bit more enthusiastic. "Ah, Chen Zhenchuan! What brings you to my Hundred Herbs Hall today?"
Today's Chen Qing was no longer the novice he once was. He was a True Essence Realm master and, more importantly, the Eighth True Inheritor. His status was venerable, and even a senior Elder of Danxia Peak like Zhang Yi had to show him sufficient respect.
"Elder Zhang."
Chen Qing clasped his fist in a return salute, his expression calm. Without wasting time on pleasantries, he went straight to the point. "Junior has come unannounced today primarily for the matter of the True Essence Pill."
"The True Essence Pill?"
Hearing this, the smile on Zhang Yi's face faded slightly, replaced by a hint of hesitation.
"Indeed."
