Battle Through the Heavens: Exceptional Comprehension, Becomes Emperor at Ten Years Old

Chapter 134 The Battle Between the Pill Hall and the Medicine Hall!

The Imperial Prison Mountains, the Dan Hall.

Several elders surrounded Fa Ma, saying, "Hall Master, you need to do something about the people in the medicine hall. Now, not only are they cutting off our supply of high-grade medicinal herbs, but they're even withholding low-grade ones!"

"Yes, Master, if this continues, what's the point of us refining pills? We'll have to go out and find the medicinal herbs ourselves!" another elder chimed in.

Fama sat at the head of the table with his eyes closed, listening to the elders below constantly complaining.

After a long while, Fa Ma finally opened his eyes and looked at the group, saying, "The people at the pharmacy aren't supplying you with medicinal herbs anymore. You can buy them yourself, or cultivate them yourself. You don't have to use the pharmacy's."

One of the elders, his face slightly flushed, said, "However, we can't cultivate some of the high-grade medicinal herbs in the medicine hall. If we were to buy them, we would be incurring huge losses!"

"Yes, Master, this medicine hall is supposed to serve our pill hall, but now they're riding roughshod over us. What kind of behavior is this?" the elder said indignantly.

Fa Ma asked, "Who exactly said that the Medicine Hall is an appendage of the Pill Hall?"

"Many people in our Pill Hall privately think so. The people in the Medicine Hall are not as good as us in alchemy, but they are good at planting medicinal herbs. Isn't that a perfect complement to us?" the elder said.

Bang!

A muffled thud was heard, and the door to the alchemy hall was kicked open instantly, with a group of figures dressed in alchemist robes walking in.

The two leading figures were none other than Li Hao and Jiang Cheng, the most renowned figures in the pharmacy today!

"Li Hao, Jiang Cheng, are you two trying to cause trouble by bringing the people from the Pharmacy so high and mighty?" A sixth-grade peak alchemist standing next to Fa Ma shouted coldly.

Jiang Cheng looked at the man and sneered, "Liu Chang, don't try to show off here. This Pill Hall isn't your territory yet. Isn't it a bit premature for you to come and lecture me?"

Upon hearing Jiang Cheng's words, Liu Chang's face flushed red as he looked at him and said, "You!"

Jiang Cheng then looked at Fa Ma, cupped his hands, and said, "Hall Master, yesterday, Elder Liu Chang led several fifth-grade alchemists to forcibly break into the Medicine Hall and took away a lot of high-grade medicinal herbs. I've come today to seek justice for the Medicine Hall disciples who were beaten by them!"

"Then, I would like to ask the hall master to either return those medicinal herbs, or simply purchase them at a suitable price!"

"The medicinal herbs in the Pharmacy are not only supplied to the Pill Hall, but also purchased by the disciples in the Imperial Prison for any needs. If people like Liu Chang act in this way, should my Pharmacy continue to operate?" Jiang Cheng spoke with conviction, his eyes fixed intently on Fa Ma.

Upon hearing Jiang Cheng's words, Fa Ma immediately looked at Liu Chang and asked, "Elder Liu Chang, is that really the case?"

Liu Chang frowned slightly and said, "The medicine hall is meant to serve our pill hall. So what if we took some high-grade medicinal herbs? Isn't that perfectly reasonable?"

"Insolence!" Fama roared in fury, slamming his hand hard on the armrest.

"The Imperial Prison has already separated the Pill Hall and the Medicine Hall. I have already told you not to have any conflicts with the Medicine Hall. How dare you forcibly seize the medicinal materials now?" Fa Ma said angrily.

Liu Chang's face darkened immediately upon being reprimanded by Fa Ma. He looked at Fa Ma and sneered, "What? As an elder of the Pill Hall, do I not even have this much power?"

"Besides, I'm only addressing you as Hall Master out of respect, but in terms of pure strength, you're simply not qualified for the position!"

Liu Chang is now at the peak of the sixth rank and has some opportunities to advance. Perhaps he will be able to break through to the seventh rank soon.

As for Fa Ma, he is only a newly qualified alchemist at the peak of the sixth rank. Liu Chang has long disliked him!

"Is that so? Then why did you join the Imperial Prison?" A faint voice suddenly came from outside the hall.

Fa Ma's slightly cloudy eyes suddenly lit up as he looked towards the outside of the hall and, sure enough, saw a figure slowly walking in from outside.

The elders in the hall were mostly newcomers to the Imperial Prison, so they didn't recognize Jiahe. Fama, on the other hand, did recognize him, but at this moment he didn't want to reveal Jiahe's identity directly!

Liu Chang's sinister gaze swept over Jia He, and he said coldly, "And who are you? How dare you interfere in the affairs of our Pill Hall?"

"I am also a member of the Dan Hall, why can't I say so?" Jiahe looked at Liu Chang and said calmly.

Liu Chang sneered, "You? A little brat who hasn't even grown a full beard, and you're an alchemist?"

"Yes, and my alchemy skills might even be better than yours, old man!" Jiahe looked at Liu Chang, and a terrifying soul force erupted instantly.

An overwhelming pressure descended upon Liu Chang, who felt an immense pressure surging towards him, and was forced to kneel on the ground.

puff!

Liu Chang coughed up a mouthful of blood, staring at Jia He with terrified eyes, and asked, "You, who exactly are you?"

Fa Ma slowly rose and looked at Liu Chang, saying, "This is the Lord of the Imperial Prison, and can also be considered the true head of our two alchemy halls!"

"You!" Liu Chang's heart trembled violently. He cursed Fama in his mind. Why didn't this old man say anything earlier?

Jiahe looked at Liu Chang with indifferent eyes and said, "Disregarding the laws of the Imperial Prison and attacking a fellow disciple, what should be done according to the rules of the Imperial Prison?"

Jiang Cheng and Li Hao, who had been excitedly standing by, immediately responded, "They should be executed!"

Liu Chang trembled violently, crying out in terror, "No, don't kill me! I'm about to advance to the seventh rank! I'm still useful to the Imperial Prison! Don't kill me!"

That terrifying soul power made Liu Chang realize that the strength of the young man in front of him was definitely far above his own!

Jiahe said, "No need, the Imperial Prison has no shortage of seventh-rank officials!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Chang exploded into a cloud of blood mist, and then a spatial rift appeared, swallowing the blood mist.

This ability to manipulate space shocked everyone present.

Then Jiahe walked to the head seat and sat down, looking at Fa Ma and the others from the medicine hall, and said, "I just came back and heard about the medicine hall incident."

"The Pill Hall and the Medicine Hall are separate entities, each with its own responsibilities and equal status, without any room for doubt. Furthermore, Jiang Cheng will replace him as the head of the Medicine Hall. If anyone is better at cultivating medicinal herbs than Jiang Cheng, they may take his place!"

"Do you still have any doubts?" Jiahe looked at the people in the medicine hall.

Those people all shook their heads. Then Jiahe looked at the elders of the Dan Hall. Naturally, they didn't dare to have any objections, as the scene just now was still replaying in their minds!

"Since no one has any objections, let's all go back. Li Hao, stay here!" Jiahe said.

Jiang Cheng respectfully asked, "What should the prison warden do with the medicinal herbs that Liu Chang and his men forcibly seized earlier?"

Jiahe said, "Leave this matter to Hall Master Fama; he will give you an explanation!"

Both Fa Ma and Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "Yes!"

After they left, Jiahe said to Li Hao, "My great-grandfather said you've managed the medicine valley in the mountains quite well. How about I give you a task?"

Li Hao, his face slightly flushed with excitement, said, "I am willing to serve the prison warden!"

"I plan to develop a medicinal garden in the northern and southern regions of the Northwest Continent. I'm entrusting this task to you, and you're allowed to take some people with you from the medicine hall!" Jiahe said.

Li Hao agreed without hesitation.
