“If you take me as your master, you can directly come to my residence once you ascend to the celestial realm. Medicine God, even if you hadn’t fallen, I still wouldn’t want you as my master!” Jared was adamant in his refusal.
“Why?” Medicine God was furious, his eyes wide open. “No one has ever dared to defy my wishes. If you refuse to take me as your master, then you won’t be leaving Cauldron Peak today. I also won’t allow you to take anyone else as your master.”
Jared glanced at Medicine God, letting out a soft sigh.
This guy is truly stubborn! Is everyone from the celestial realm rough around the edges like this? Are there no refined and gentle immortals?
“Medicine God, I don’t want your legacy, nor do I wish to be your disciple. This is my way of showing you respect. If you don’t require respect, then all I can say is, you’re not even worthy to be my master. Your level of skill doesn’t even catch my attention!”
Jared finally stopped being polite.
Medicine God was taken aback, then furiously retorted, “Insolence! You are a mere Tribulator. With my power, killing you would be-”
Before the Medicine God could finish speaking, a burst of golden light shimmered around Jared. Following that, a spectral figure slowly emerged from behind him.
“Would be what exactly? Tell me, what?”
The soul remnant of Vermilion Demon Lord appeared, casting his gaze toward Medicine God, as he posed the question.
Medicine God was left stunned upon seeing Vermilion Demon Lord. For a moment, he could only stare, eyes wide and mouth agape. He ‘finally stammered, “M-Mr. Vermilion?”
“Oh, you lowly medicine immortal, I didn’t expect you to recognize me. Since you do, that makes things easier. Tell me, do you think you’re qualified to take my friend as your apprentice?”
Vermilion Demon Lord hadn’t expected that the Medicine God would actually recognize him.
“I’m… I’m not worthy. I’m just a humble, wandering immortal. How could I possibly be qualified to take a good friend of yours as my disciple? I admit that I overestimated my abilities. I hope you’re not upset, Mr. Vermilion!”
Cold sweat trickled down the forehead of the Medicine God, I can’t believe it. Jared is carrying the soul remnant of Mr. Vermilion. No wonder he looks down on me!
Seeing that the Medicine God knew his place, Vermilion Demon Lord returned to Jared’s consciousness field, as his soul remnant couldn’t stay out for long.
Upon witnessing the return of Vermilion Demon Lord into Jared’s body, Medicine God gulped. He had a plethora of questions swirling in his mind, yet he dared not voice them.
In response, Jared said, “Mr. Vermilion’s physical form was destroyed in a battle in the ‘Ethereal Realm. All that is left is his soul remnant, so I’ve been carrying it with me. Once we gather all his remains, we can restore him.
Truth be told, even though I didn’t possess the power to become immortal, I am acquainted with some friends in the celestial realm. For instance, the leader of Infinitnus Celestial Sect and I share a good relationship. He even gave me an Infinitus Token, promising that once I ascend to the celestial realm, I could use it to find him.”
Jared took out the Infinitus Token, showing it to Medicine God..
“I was acting recklessly just now. I’ll give you my legacy right away!”
Medicine God licked his lips, his face full of embarrassment. He could never have imagined that a lowly Tribulator from the Ethereal Realm would actually know so many big shots in the celestial realm.
If he had known earlier, there was no way he would have dared to threaten Jared.
“That’s not necessary.” Jared declined with a wave of his hand. “Since I’m not becoming your disciple, I can’t accept your legacy either!”
Jared was principled in his actions.
“In that case, let me give you the Divine Healer ‘Manual as a reward for passing the test.”
With a wave of his hand, Medicine God summoned a golden book. It then transformed into a streak of golden light, making its way directly into Jared’s consciousness field.
Subsequently, the soul remnant of Medicine God gradually faded away, until it was completely gone without a trace.
The moment the soul remnant of Medicine God vanished, Cauldron Peak began to shake violently.
