"Father, please seek justice for your son!" Liu Jingtong cried out to his father in one of the rooms of the Liu Family's mansion.
His lower abdomen was still aching. What made his heart tremble was that his father had already said that without the Resurrection Pill, he would probably be unable to have sex for the rest of his life.
However, the Resurrection Pill was not something that could be easily found. It was said that there were only three pills in the entire Central Region in the past hundred years. Where could the Liu Family find another Resurrection Pill?
Because of this, he naturally hated Linlong, who had tried to kill him, to the bone.
"Don't worry, son. Father will seek justice for you," Liu Kangning said with a gloomy face.
He originally thought that Liu Jingtong's injury was not serious because Liu Jingtong did not seem to be seriously injured. Who would have thought that he would be injured in such a place?
Liu Jingtong was his only son. If he was really unable to have sex, wouldn't that mean that the Liu Family would no longer have any descendants? Therefore, he also hated Linlong to the bone.
"Father, you must send a stronger martial artist to deal with Linlong. This time, he was lucky to have Luo Hong and Kong Zhi from the Alchemist Alliance to help him. He won't be so lucky next time," Liu Jingtong said viciously.
"Don't worry, son. I will personally bring Linlong to you to apologize and make him unable to have sex," Liu Kangning guaranteed.
"Then, I will thank father in advance."
"Son, you rest first. Father will leave first. No matter what, I will take care of this matter until the end." After repeatedly guaranteeing, Liu Kangning walked out of Liu Jingtong's room.
"Linlong, the alchemy competition is just around the corner. Winning first place is more important. I will let you live for now," Liu Kangning said hatefully as he walked out of Liu Jingtong's room.
After finishing his sentence, he walked forward with large strides.
After entering the main hall, a scholarly youth in his twenties who seemed to be waiting for him immediately stood up and respectfully greeted him. "Greetings, Fourth Uncle."
"Hahaha …" Seeing the scholarly youth, the haze on Liu Kangning's face dissipated. After laughing, he patted the youth's shoulder and praised, "It has been many years since we last met. I didn't expect nephew to become more and more outstanding."
"May I know what urgent matter Fourth Uncle has for me to rush back to Stellarsky City?" The refined youth asked.
"It's like this. Recently, the Tian Xing City's Alchemist Union will be organizing an alchemy competition. When the time comes, you will represent the Liu Clan to participate in the competition. However, you must get first place." Liu Kangning's expression became extremely serious.
The reason why he thought so highly of his nephew, Li Cheng, was entirely because of Li Cheng's outstanding talent in the field of alchemy. He heard that in less than two years after leaving Stellarsky City, Li Cheng had obtained the qualifications to become a third-grade alchemist. This year, Li Cheng even obtained the qualifications to become a fourth-grade alchemist.
It was also because of this that he had rushed back to Heavenly Star City.
Li Cheng had left the Stellarsky City six years ago for the eastern region. He was learning the art of refinement from an alchemist friend in the eastern region.
"I wonder why Fourth Uncle values this alchemy competition so much?" Li Cheng couldn't figure it out. After all, in such a place where alchemists gathered, it was a very common thing to hold an alchemy competition.
Liu Kangning carefully looked around. After confirming that no one was eavesdropping, he whispered, "Nephew, you don't understand. This time, the Alchemist Union's reward for the champion is no small matter. They even took out the Alchemist Union's treasure, the Myriad Drug Chart. Whoever obtains first place will be able to read this Myriad Drug Chart for a day."
"What?" Hearing Liu Kangning's words, Li Cheng was immediately shocked, "The Central Region's Alchemist Union actually took out such a treasure?"
It was no wonder that Li Cheng was shocked. This Myriad Drug Chart was the Central Region's Alchemist Union's most precious treasure. The reason why the Alchemist Union was able to develop from a small place to such a powerful one was inextricably linked to this Myriad Drug Chart.
There was once a rumor that even an average alchemist, if they could finish reading this Myriad Drug Chart, they would at least become a fourth-grade alchemist. From this, it could be seen how outstanding this Myriad Drug Chart was.
However, it wasn't easy to read this Myriad Drug Chart. Even if one was able to enter the Alchemist Union and was valued by the Alchemist Union's mentor, one still wouldn't have the chance to read this book.
This was because there was a crucial condition to read this book. That was to stay in the Alchemist Union for ten years. Furthermore, during these ten years, one couldn't make any mistakes that would let the Alchemist Union down. If one did, no matter how strong one was, one wouldn't be qualified to read this book.
Because of this harsh condition, when Li Cheng heard that the Alchemist Union was actually giving out the Myriad Drug Chart as a reward, he was naturally extremely shocked.
"That's right." Liu Kangning nodded.
"However, I heard that this Heavenly Star City's alchemy competition is open to the entire Central Region. If the champion was taken by another force, wouldn't the Alchemist Union be crying? Why would their people make such a stupid decision?" Li Cheng couldn't understand.
"There's another reason. The founder of the Alchemist Union, Blazing Heaven, once set a rule. Every ten years, one must use this Myriad Drug Chart as a reward. Furthermore, it must be open to the entire Central Region." Liu Kangning said.
"I really can't understand this." Li Cheng's eyes immediately widened.
Indeed, to take out their clan's absolute art as a reward, and the target audience wasn't even his own people. How could he understand this?
"Who knows what Mentor Blazing Heaven is thinking … In short, nephew, you just have to remember that you must obtain the first place and obtain the right to read this Myriad Drug Chart." Liu Kangning said solemnly.
In the entire Central Region, Liu Kangning wasn't the only one who coveted the Myriad Drug Chart. Furthermore, the recent conflict with the Alchemist Union made him decide that he must obtain the Myriad Drug Chart.
"However, even though your nephew has recently advanced to a fourth-grade alchemist, there are too many powerful alchemists in the younger generation of the Central Region. I'm afraid it will be very difficult for nephew to obtain the first place." Li Cheng said worriedly.
No, he wasn't just worried. He had never thought of obtaining the first place.
"Nephew, don't worry. This time, there aren't many powerful alchemists in the younger generation of the Central Region. As long as you participate and display your strength, you will have a high chance of obtaining the first place. Even if you encounter any challenges, uncle will think of a way to help you," Liu Kangning said.
Seeing how confident Liu Kangning was, Li Cheng's heart was moved. After all, as an alchemist, the Myriad Drug Chart was something that he wanted to see.
Furthermore, he believed that as long as he saw the Myriad Drug Chart, his achievements in alchemy would rise to another level.
"Alright, then I will listen to Fourth Uncle. Your nephew will participate in this alchemy competition," Li Cheng immediately said.
"Good, good, good. That's good." Liu Kangning immediately laughed.
The reason why he was so happy was naturally because the truth was similar to what he said. Furthermore, he had an even more powerful trump card. Once he obtained that trump card, Li Cheng would definitely obtain the first place.
In the dead of night, when the streets of Heavenly Star City were empty, Liu Kangning quietly walked out of the Liu Clan and sneaked out of the city under the cover of the night.
Very quickly, he arrived at the wilderness outside the city. After seeing a black tent under a large tree, he immediately walked over.
As the Heavenly Star City's alchemy competition was about to start, there would naturally be various eccentric people gathering in Heavenly Star City. Therefore, it wasn't surprising to see such a tent outside the city.
However, Liu Kangning clearly knew that the other party was here.
When he arrived in front of the tent, a tall man in black who was originally hidden in the darkness immediately appeared.
"Who?" The other party asked in a low voice.
"Heavenly Star City's Liu Clan's Patriarch, Liu Kangning," Liu Kangning replied.
Before the person could reply, an old and deep voice sounded from within the tent. This voice sounded as if it came from underground.
"Come in."
The man in black immediately opened the tent and gestured for Liu Kangning to enter.
Liu Kangning walked in with his back bent.
There wasn't any light in the tent. In such darkness, Liu Kangning could barely see an old and skinny man sitting in front of him. However, he seemed to already know who the other party was, so he didn't dwell on it.
"Greetings to Elder Cang Yun!" Liu Kangning said respectfully.
If anyone saw this scene, they would definitely be extremely shocked. Liu Kangning was an insufferably arrogant person in Heavenly Star City. No matter who he met, he would not be so respectful.
He even dared to challenge Luo Hong face to face. However, in front of this old man, Liu Kangning was so respectful that he didn't dare to show any disrespect.
"En …" The old man opposite him nodded and said, "Have you thought it through?"
"Yes." After clenching his teeth, Liu Kangning nodded vigorously, "I am willing to hand over the knowledge on the Myriad Drug Chart to Elder after obtaining it."
"Good." The old man's orange peel-like face immediately bloomed into a smile.
"However, there seems to be some trouble at the moment. My people can't guarantee that they will get first place. Therefore, I ask for Elder's help." Liu Kangning said.
"Is that so? This is already within my expectations." As he spoke, the old man took out a small cauldron from the darkness and handed it to Liu Kangning, "This is the small cauldron that was refined according to the template."
Liu Kangning immediately took the small cauldron. After a few glances, his face immediately revealed a joyful expression, "Elder is indeed remarkable."
"A mere Five Seal Shadow Cauldron is nothing." The old man snorted disdainfully and then handed over a small bottle. It was obvious that there was an elixir inside.
"What is this?" Liu Kangning was a little surprised.
"Fourth-grade Soul-attaching Divine Elixir."
The old man's words immediately made Liu Kangning's face even more joyful.
This was because this fourth-grade Soul-attaching Divine Elixir was not an ordinary elixir. It was a elixir that could allow an ordinary third-grade alchemist to directly have the strength of a fourth-grade alchemist. However, this kind of elixir was not easy to obtain.
It could be said that in the entire Central Region Alchemist Alliance, no one would be able to refine such an elixir.
With this elixir, the possibility of his nephew Li Cheng obtaining first place could be said to be 100%.
"Thank you, Elder Cang Yun." Liu Kangning was overjoyed.
