Looking at Yan Zhaoge, Zhao Shicheng nodded slowly, "Zhaoge's talent was originally outstanding, but from the looks of it now, you actually still haven't displayed your full potential before."
"Only today did you truly display your brilliance. It can also be said that you have accumulated your strength from a different angle."
Yan Zhaoge cupped his hands towards Zhao Shicheng, "Uncle overpraises me."
"But this time, I will have to trouble Uncle."
Zhao Shicheng and Elder Qin joining hands to repel the East Rising Lord of the Sacred Sun Clan was undoubtedly making a clear choice between Broad Creed Mountain and the Sacred Sun Clan.
The Eastern Tang was a part of the East Heaven Region of the Heaven Domain, and had always been under Broad Creed Mountain's command.
However, the Sacred Sun Clan was currently powerful, and the Eastern Tang Kingdom was directly bordered by the Fire Domain that the Sacred Sun Clan controlled.
If the two Sacred Grounds were to go to war, it would be as easy as flipping a hand for the Sacred Sun Clan to deal with the Eastern Tang Kingdom.
Even if Broad Creed Mountain sought revenge afterwards, if the Eastern Tang Kingdom suffered losses, it would still be a true calamity.
Material losses and even territorial losses could all be compensated and recovered, but the dead could not be revived.
Zhao Shicheng shook his head, "This time's reform of the Pill Pavilion was originally intended to kick Shilie out of the picture. Making his stance clear to the Sacred Sun Clan was also something that would happen sooner or later."
"This King has always been with Broad Creed Mountain; it is not that the Sacred Sun Clan does not know this, just that this time, everything has been laid out on the table."
His old friend's only son being threatened in the lands of the Eastern Tang, Zhao Shicheng naturally wouldn't just sit by and watch.
No matter what, he would support Yan Zhaoge to the end.
Elder Qin immediately expressed his stance once more, "Due to the special circumstances, this old man will be sitting over the Eastern Tang during this period of time."
"Then I will have to trouble Elder Qin," Although facing the immense pressure brought about by the Sacred Sun Clan, Zhao Shicheng's bearing was still calm.
He looked at Yan Zhaoge, "I never knew before that you, Zhaoge, actually had such deep attainments in the dao of alchemy."
Yan Zhaoge smiled slightly, "Uncle overpraises me. it was only recently that I obtained some information. Pondering on it myself, I made some gains, but it is still not complete yet, and still requires further research."
Zhao Shicheng sighed, "The Golden Needle Liberating Pill technique, like the Internal Crystal Furnace, was completely lost after the Great Calamity, of it being a secret technique whose name has only been heard of."
"This dao of yours is really too good."
As Zhao Shicheng said this, he could not help but tease Yan Zhaoge, but his tone and expression were both rather solemn.
Yan Xu and the others were slightly stunned. "Golden Needle Liberating Pill?"
Elder Qin, on the other hand, had heard some news from the mountain gate and wasn't too surprised.
As the head of the East Heaven Region, with Yan Zhaoge also having to move around here during this period of time, he naturally had to inform him of some news.
"Didn't they say they were still experimenting? You've already grasped it? "Elder Qin's face revealed a hint of joy.
Yan Zhaoge nodded, smiling, "I'm still studying it. Still, I'm already gradually becoming familiar with some of the more basic pills."
Zhao Shicheng shook his head. "It's fine if it's just a Healing Pill, but the Smoke Cloud Powder is not a low-level Healing Pill. It can be said to be a holy item for healing."
After listening to Elder Qin and Zhao Shicheng's explanation, the others gradually understood what was going on.
Yan Xu's face was expressionless, but within the depths of his eyes which had originally been staring at Yan Zhaoge, a cold intent could be seen.
But now, the coldness had completely disappeared, and only calmness remained.
This didn't mean that everything that had happened before was just a passing cloud.
On the contrary, when Yan Xu looked at Yan Zhaoge now, there was no longer the condescending air of a senior looking at a junior.
At this moment, he placed Yan Zhaoge on the same level as himself for the first time.
Even if the current Yan Zhaoge's cultivation base was still far from his.
The Internal Crystal Furnace artifact forging technique, the Cloud-Veined Stone turning into Jade Essence, the Golden Needle Liberating Pill technique, as well as his own extraordinary talent and potential in the martial dao …
Things could happen again and again, but not again and again.
If it happened once or twice, it could be considered a coincidence, luck. But if it happened every time, the coincidence would also become a certainty.
Yan Xu glanced at Yan Zhaoge silently, then retracted his gaze, as if no longer paying attention to him.
But in reality, he placed even more importance on it, and also signified an even firmer determination.
Out of consideration for the legacy, when the competition between the second generation had reached a stalemate, an outstanding third generation could very well influence the final decision of the older generation.
Few people knew that Yan Xu's wariness and fear towards Yan Zhaoge and his father far surpassed that of others.
That did not only stem from the conflict between the factions, but also involved the fear that was hidden deep within his heart.
As Yan Di grew stronger and stronger, his power grew larger and larger, Yan Xu already felt that he could not eat or sleep in peace.
"That matter that year, if the father and son knew that it had something to do with me …"
"I had originally thought that the threat only lay with Yan Di, but who would have thought that it would not just be Yan Di. As time goes on, this junior before me will also be a huge threat."
"Because of him, Yan Di's reputation will also grow stronger and stronger, even possibly suppressing Elder Fang. If this continues …"
Yan Xu sucked in a deep breath, his gaze growing calmer and gloomier.
He had originally still been a little hesitant, but now he no longer hesitated.
As for the other higher echelon martial practitioners of Broad Creed Mountain, as they looked at Yan Zhaoge, their emotions were much more complicated.
Those who were close to Yan Di's faction were overjoyed, whilst also feeling incredulous, while those who were close to Yan Zhaoge's second apprentice-uncle Fang Zhun felt incomparably conflicted.
After all, they were also of Broad Creed Mountain. Their own clan having produced such a genius of the younger generation, they felt honoured as well as happy for the clan.
But it just so happened that this rising star of the younger generation was someone from the opposing faction.
Yan Zhaoge could more or less guess what they were thinking.
Now, he was actually preparing to concoct a divine pill in preparation for the future, using it as a trump card in his father's fight for the position of Clan Chief.
That pill had never appeared in the Eight Extremities World of post-Great Calamity times, and when it was concocted, no one would recognise it.
It was not like artifacts, spirit artifacts and the like, which martial practitioners could communicate with and use.
Pills were things that had to be ingested into the mouth, and it was very hard to say what would happen after ingesting it.
To most people, it would be a great tonic, but to some, it would be a deadly poison. Such situations were not unheard of.
This would inevitably cause others to feel apprehensive, so Yan Zhaoge needed to lay some groundwork beforehand.
To let others form an impression: "Yan Zhaoge's attainment in the dao of alchemy is not small, and is also very high, worthy of trust."
In order to avoid drawing attention, this groundwork also had to be done step by step, progressing in an orderly manner.
At the same time as laying the groundwork, he would also continue to consolidate Broad Creed Mountain's control over the Eastern Tang Kingdom, squeezing out the claws of the Sacred Sun Clan, killing many birds with one stone.
After completely understanding the situation, Elder Qin first nodded slightly towards Zhao Shicheng, "I must first congratulate the King on having produced yet another fine son."
Zhao Shicheng's expression was calm, "Hao 'er has indeed surpassed This King's expectations, but many things still need to be verified."
"Also, while Shilie's share of the Pill Pavilion has been lost to Zhaoge, This King understands him; he will not withdraw so easily."
"These past few years, he has also planted quite a few people within the Pill Pavilion, many of them in vital positions, all of which need to be cleaned up."
"However, this can be completed within these few days," Zhao Shicheng said calmly.
Elder Qin nodded, "This old man naturally knows the King's methods."
Saying thus, he swivelled his head to look at Yan Zhaoge, "Zhaoge, this time, you have consecutively performed a great deed."
"Let's not talk about anything else first, with the clan deciding on what to do, but within this old man's authority, I can first reward you for your merit in regards to the Pill Pavilion this time."
"You have developed the ancient Golden Needle Liberating Pill technique, which can effectively raise the quality of medicinal pills, at the same time successfully expelling the Sacred Sun Clan's infiltration of the Eastern Tang Pill Pavilion."
"Other than the share of the Pill Pavilion that you yourself won from Prince Jin, Zhao Shicheng, the shares that our clan originally secretly occupied in the Pill Pavilion will also belong to you."
"All the profits will be personally distributed by you. If the clan needs it, we will also not let you suffer a loss; you can exchange it for it at the market price or with other resources that you want."
"Matters relating to our clan and the Pill Pavilion will be decided by you."
Yan Zhaoge smiled slightly, "Thank you, Elder Qin."
