Chapter 500 God-level Alchemist, Chu Yao's Grandfather Chu Ping
Chu Yao waved to Jiang Chen from a short distance away.
Jiang Chen felt strange; it seemed that Chu Yao was waiting for him on purpose.
Each time they met, it was either in the dungeon hall or the library; Chu Yao rarely took the initiative to seek him out.
Chu Yao squinted slightly, her eyes curving into crescent shapes. "Junior Jiang, I need your help."
Jiang Chen answered without hesitation, "Okay."
In Jiang Chen's heart, Chu Yao was one of his few friends.
She asked for help, and Jiang Chen would definitely assist her.
Chu Yao seemed to have anticipated this answer, and handed Jiang Chen a teleportation stone. "Junior Brother Jiang, please follow me." The teleportation distance wasn't far; they should have just left Shenlong City.
The two arrived at the outside of a small courtyard, which was more exquisite than Hong Shen's courtyard.
Standing outside the courtyard, Jiang Chen smelled a peculiar medicinal odor.
It didn't smell like fragrance; it had more of a slightly fishy, foul odor. The smell seemed familiar.
Jiang Chen immediately realized it was the smell of a rotting corpse. Although it was faint, he was certain he wasn't mistaken.
Seeing Jiang Chen's expression, Chu Yao already knew what was going on. "Junior Jiang, you guessed it, didn't you?"
Jiang Chen nodded. "Why are there rotting corpses here?"
Chu Yao stepped forward and pushed open the courtyard gate. "Junior Brother Jiang, you'll know once you come in."
The aroma of herbs was stronger in the courtyard, and the stench of rotting corpses was also more intense.
Ordinary people might not be able to tell the difference, but Jiang Chen can.
The courtyard is very rustic, with three entrances and three exits.
Following Chu Yao to the backyard, Jiang Chen was slightly surprised to find that Situ Yu was also there.
Situ Yu said to Jiang Chen, "General Jiang, we meet again."
Her expression was slightly unnatural, probably because of the incident where she almost died in the Corpse World.
Jiang Chen nodded in response.
Chu Yao asked, "Junior Brother Jiang, aren't you surprised that Princess Yu is here?"
Jiang Chen knew that in some of the great families in the empire, the younger generations might all know each other.
Just like Lin Cai'er and Yi Ning, they played together when they were little.
Situ Yu and Chu Yao probably felt the same way.
Its nose twitched, and its gaze drifted towards one of the small huts. "Are there rotting corpses inside?"
Chu Yao didn't hide anything, pushed open the door and went in, "Junior Brother Jiang, please come in."
Chu Yao referred to Jiang Chen as "Jiang Xuedi" (Jiang Junior Brother) throughout, suggesting that the two had a close relationship.
Stepping into the house, a chill hit me.
The room was cold; a protective array was in operation, continuously emanating a chilling aura.
In the center of the formation was a large block of ice, freezing a woman inside.
The woman inside the ice cube was dressed in exquisite clothing and lay in eternal sleep with her eyes closed.
Even when frozen, her dignity could still be felt.
Jiang Chen saw the woman, then looked at Situ Yu.
The woman's appearance bore a resemblance to Situ Yu.
Situ Yu said softly, "This is my mother."
There was a black spot on the woman's wrist, exactly like one on a rotting corpse. And the overwhelming stench was emanating from that spot.
Even the freezing temperatures and strong medicinal smell couldn't completely mask the stench of the rotting corpse.
Jiang Chen said, "I was bitten by a rotting corpse."
There is a bite mark on my wrist.
Situ Yu explained, "When I was little, my mother and father would inspect the sealing of the Corpse Realm together."
"The two of them went to the Corpse World, and when they returned, their mother had already been poisoned by the Corpse Poison."
"My mother has been frozen here ever since."
Jiang Chen remembered that Situ Yu had once told him that if he had the ability to cure the corpse poison, he would help her save someone.
It seems this is the woman in front of me.
Chu Yao said, "I invited Junior Jiang here this time because I wanted him to help save her." Jiang Chen shook his head, "I don't have the ability to save her right now."
The corpse poison isn't entirely incurable, but he really has no way to cure it right now.
The Lich General's dispel skill only works on the entire undead legion and cannot be used on other targets.
Perhaps the Light of Life from the Scepter of Creation would be useful, but he is not yet qualified to use it.
Chu Yao said, "We don't want Jiang to save people right now, but we want him to help with an experiment."
The three left the cottage, and Chu Yao led the two through the courtyard.
Behind the courtyard, there is a row of stone houses.
The smell of medicine was stronger here, and besides the smell of medicine, Jiang Chen also smelled many other scents.
It smelled of blood, metal, and some other indescribable odors.
A mixture of various smells mingled together. Then Jiang Chen saw an old man standing there, seemingly waiting for him.
Chu Yao called out to the man, "Grandpa, Jiang Shenjiang is here."
Jiang Chen's gaze narrowed slightly upon seeing the master's.
He sensed the aura of a god-level expert emanating from the other party.
Does Chu Yao have a grandfather who is a god-level powerhouse?
Looking at his attire again, Jiang Chen confirmed the other person's identity.
He was actually a god-level pharmacist.
I've never heard of a god-level apothecary in the empire.
Jiang Chen knew very well how valuable a god-level pharmacist was.
Not only are they precious, but becoming a god-level pharmacist is even more difficult.
It's strange. Since Chu Yao has such a god-level pharmacist grandfather, why would she bother doing missions at the academy for a few hundred points? Is it just for fun?
Chu Yao introduced, "This is my grandfather, Chu Ping, a god-level pharmacist."
Jiang Chen's memories surged; he had seen the name Chu Ping before, in a book.
The book hailes Chu Ping as one of the most talented pharmacists in the entire human race.
He was a contemporary of Hung Ki-shek and Lee Hsueh-ju.
But then, they disappeared without a trace…
Unexpectedly, Chu Ping has now become a god-level pharmacist.
Chu Ping clasped his hands in greeting to Jiang Chen, "Greetings, General Jiang."
Jiang Chen also clasped his hands and said, "Greetings, Medicine Master Chu."
The two were of equal status and treated each other as equals.
Chu Ping shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Don't call me the God of Medicine, I'm not worthy."
There's always a reason behind every word. Jiang Chen wasn't good at flattery, so he didn't say anything.
Chu Ping said, "I'll get straight to the point. Princess Yu said that General Jiang's summoned creatures can neutralize the poison of the rotting corpse. Could you demonstrate it for me?"
Jiang Chen nodded, "That's fine, but my Lich General can only neutralize the corpse poison for his own legion members."
As he spoke, he released a Lich General and a Skeleton Berserker.
A cold wind blew, and the sky began to darken slightly.
The lich general, who was over three meters tall, stood before them like a small mountain, bringing a powerful sense of oppression.
With a slight thought, Jiang Chen summoned the Lich General, who immediately used a dispel skill on the Skeleton Berserker.
Jiang Chen also explained, "This skill is called Elimination. It can eliminate various abnormal statuses and can also neutralize the Corpse Poison."
"But even high-level corpse poison cannot be neutralized, Princess Yu should be aware of this."
“Princess Yu did say that.” Chu Ping’s gaze fell on the Lich General. “General Jiang, I have a skill that allows me to analyze other people’s skills.”
"I would like to analyze the Lich General's skills to see if I can find the source of his ability to neutralize the corpse poison."
Chu Ping was open and honest, speaking the truth.
The Lich General is Jiang Chen's summoned creature, and any skill cast on it must be with Jiang Chen's permission.
After considering it for a moment, Jiang Chen did not refuse, "Okay."
"Thank you, General Jiang." Chu Ping sent a beam of light to the Lich General.
The Lich General used the Dispel skill again, while Chu Ping sensed the information transmitted back from his own skill.
We need to analyze it step by step.
But his brows furrowed even more deeply. Chu Yao noticed this and had a bad feeling.
My grandfather had never seemed to have such an expression before, so it seems that this is not the case.
The Lich General only stopped after casting several spells in succession. Chu Ping did not open his eyes, and the others did not disturb him.
After a moment, Chu Ping let out a long breath, and Situ Yu asked nervously, "Grandpa Medicine God, how is it?"
Chu Ping shook his head, "This skill is extremely special, and I cannot analyze it."
Situ Yu's face immediately fell, and he muttered, "What should we do then?"
Chu Ping thought for a moment, then said to Jiang Chen, "General Jiang, I would like to try again."
His gaze fell on the skeleton berserker, and at the same time he took out a crystal bottle containing a small amount of black powder.
Jiang Chen's expression changed drastically the moment he saw the powder.
