There was an elder in the Xu family who became an alchemist when he was young. Not many people knew about this, but it was not a secret among the nobles.
Relying on the occasional pills given by this elder of the family, the descendants of the Xu family always had a much greater advantage in terms of cultivation compared to the descendants of other aristocratic families.
This pill was called the "Bone Forging Pill", and it was a pill that only the Xu Family's elder possessed. It was not for sale, and because the production of this pill was very low, it was never given to outsiders.
The most famous legend about refining elixir bones was "Three elixirs refining leopard bones". With just three elixirs, one would be able to refine the most basic level of the Panther Bone without even cultivating.
Raising one's root bone had always been known to be difficult. The Xu Clan's Bone Forging Pill could refine a layer of panther bone with just three pills. The value of this pill could be imagined.
However, despite this convenience, the Xu family could not provide them with an unlimited supply.
The Bone Forging Pill was extremely difficult to refine. In a year, the Xu Family's elder had only given the Xu Family five or six pills. Moreover, it would have to be shared equally among many children.
Therefore, the Xu Family was very stingy towards this kind of Bone Forging Pill!
However, Wang Chong knew that Xu Xuan definitely had more than one. The aristocratic families had always had a tradition of focusing on nurturing their most outstanding disciples.
In the Xu Family, Xu Xuan's strength was not the highest, but his talent was the highest. He was undoubtedly a genius that the Xu Family would nurture.
He definitely had more than one Bone Forging Pill on him.
"Are you kidding me? How could we casually give something like the Bone Forging Pill to you? "
Before Xu Xuan could speak, the eldest brother of the Xu Clan, Xu Jing, spoke up. In the past, the old man and Wang Chong's grandfather were political enemies. When they were young, they fought fiercely and impeached each other countless times.
Thus, the Xu Clan had never been afraid to suppress the descendants of the Wang Clan in such a public setting, to help their grandfather vent his anger and avenge the 'grievance' from back then.
But the Bone Forging Pill was another matter!
Even the Xu Clan didn't have enough for themselves, so why would the Wang Clan brat think that the Xu Clan would? Isn't this fellow indulging in the wildest fantasies?
Xu Jing now suspected that Ye Yinping, who was backing his little brother, was deliberately colluding with Wang Chong for the Xu family's Bone Tempering Pills!
"Humph! Scram if you don't have the guts! "
Wang Li said coldly.
He and Xu Jing belonged to the same generation, and it was rare for Wang Li and Wang Chong to see eye to eye with the Xu Clan. The two brothers did not have a good impression of each other. But since Grandpa didn't say anything, they couldn't do anything.
Furthermore, this was the Four Quarters Embassy, a place that the Holy Emperor had specially opened for his grandfather. If he went too far here, the Xu family would know the consequences.
Therefore, Wang Li wasn't too worried about the battle between Wang Chong and Xu Xuan.
"You!"
Xu Jing was furious. But before he could say anything, he heard a voice in his ears.
"Humph, isn't it just a Promised Bone Refining Pill? I promise you! "
"Brother Xuan!"
Xu Jing was shocked. It was absolutely forbidden to take out the Bone Forging Pill as a wager. Once they started this, if everyone else did the same thing and asked the Xu Family to take out Bone Refining Pills at every turn, how could the Xu Family continue doing business?
"Big Brother, I know what to do. I don't need you to teach me!"
Xu Xuan spoke bluntly, and it caused Xu Jing's expression to turn livid and extremely unsightly. This bastard! Relying on his superior talent to win the favor of his grandfather, he was getting more and more overboard. To think that he would dare to disregard even his big brother!
Xu Xuan didn't care about his big brother's expression at all. He wasn't a fool, and he knew what he was doing.
"Wang Chong, I can take out the Bone Refining Pill!"
Xu Xuan reached into his robe and took out a small but exquisite purple brocade box. The Bone Refining Pill was the most precious item he had on him, and it wasn't safe to place it anywhere. Thus, Xu Xuan always carried it with him.
"… But what about you, Wang Chong? What are you going to use as a wager? It can't be that you think that you don't need to pay a price? "
Xu Xuan stretched out his hand and said coldly.
He wasn't that foolish. Since Wang Chong wanted his Bone Refining Pill, he had to take out something of equal value!
"Fine! If you use a Bone Refining Pill, I'll take out a WuZi Steel sword! What do you think? "
Wang Chong was astounded.
"A WuZi Steel sword!"
The Xu Clan's disciples were moved. After the incident with Su Bai, the matter of Wang Chong selling swords was no longer a secret. Because of Wang Chong's WuZi Steel sword, Su Bai had suffered greatly in the Supreme Court of Justice and had yet to be fished out.
There wasn't anyone in the capital who didn't know about this matter. At the same time, Wang Chong's Wootz steel sword appeared before everyone's eyes!
"The WuZi Steel sword is known as the number one sword in the world, and one can be sold for forty to fifty thousand gold taels. Exchanging a WuZi Steel sword for a Bone Refining Pill isn't a waste. "
At this moment, even Xu Jing didn't oppose it.
Xu Xuan was greatly moved. There were many ways to increase one's strength, and the Bone Refining Pill was one of them. However, an incomparably sharp sword that could cut through iron like mud was another.
Exchanging a Bone Refining Pill for a WuZi Steel sword worth forty to fifty thousand gold taels was definitely a good deal.
"Haha, good!"
Xu Xuan laughed heartily. With a flick of his finger, he tossed the box containing the Bone Refining Pill to Xu Xuan:
"Big brother, help me hold onto it first. If I lose, give it to the Wang Clan. If I win … Wang Chong, I believe that your Wang Clan won't dare to turn down my offer! "
Wang Chong was delighted that Xu Xuan was willing to take out the Bone Refining Pill. He had to put in a lot of effort to cultivate the Dragon Bone Art.
If he had the Bone Refining Pill, he would be able to advance to the next level. In the future, through some other means, he might just be able to reach Tiger Bone swiftly.
"Come, Xu Xuan!"
Having gotten what he wanted, Wang Chong walked forward.
"Brother Chong, are you confident?"
Wang Zhu Yan called out worriedly. This cousin of hers had always been idling about. Even though his personality seemed to have changed recently, she had no idea how his martial arts were.
"Don't worry."
Wang Chong chuckled. He shot his cousin a 'don't worry' gaze before walking toward the square between him and Xu Xuan.
"Yinping, don't worry! I only need three breaths to get rid of that lad! "
At the same time, Xu Xuan also shot a reassuring gaze behind him with a gentle expression.
"Three breaths?"
Ye Yinping frowned in dissatisfaction.
"One move, one move! … One move is enough! "
Xu Xuan hurriedly corrected himself.
"Hmph, go on!"
Ye Yinping said coldly. Her expression wasn't pleasant at all. She didn't like to lower her head to that lad from the Wang Clan. His cultivation was far beneath hers. She didn't know what kind of bewitching potion her grandfather drank, but with just a few words, he was willing to acknowledge him as young master.
She, Ye Yinping, was the pride of the heavens. She controlled her own fate and didn't submit to anyone. Why should she lower her head to a weakling who was beneath her? She wanted to make use of this opportunity to humiliate him so that her grandfather would give up on the idea.
As for Xu Xuan, hmph, did he really think that she would be with him?
A lousy toad lusting after the flesh of a swan!
Oblivious to Ye Yinping's thoughts, Xu Xuan walked toward the square with a smile on his face.
"Wang Chong, take out your weapon! Otherwise, I'm afraid that you won't stand a chance! "
Around fifty zhang away from Wang Chong, Xu Xuan stopped and pointed at Wang Chong arrogantly. He had heard of Wang Chong's reputation, and it wasn't very good.
If not for Ye Yinping, he wouldn't even be qualified to challenge him.
Of those who challenged him, eight out of ten had a higher cultivation than him!
"I don't have a weapon!"
Wang Chong clapped his hands. This was the truth. He had given one sword to Zhao Fengchen and the other to the old master, leaving the rest at home.
"Hmph, arrogant and conceited!"
Fury flashed across Xu Xuan's eyes.
"You asked for it. Since that's the case, don't blame me for this!"
Xu Xuan's bones creaked, and the stone floor beneath his feet creaked as well, as though it was unable to withstand his weight.
Upon reaching Origin Energy Tier 7, one's strength would rise significantly, and every single one of their movements would carry immense might.
Xu Xuan's best record was killing a berserk male elephant with a single punch!
This was something that the Xu Clan was prepared to offer to the royal family, but in the second month, it suddenly went berserk and charged out of the fences into the streets.
Xu Xuan killed it with a single punch, causing blood to flow from its seven apertures, and it lay motionless on the ground.
Even though he didn't have any bottom line toward the girl he liked, Xu Xuan's strength was undeniable. If Wang Chong thought that he would be able to take the Bone Forging Pill from his hands easily, he would be gravely mistaken.
"Elephant Fragrance Art!"
An aura surged beneath Xu Xuan's feet, and the air around him began to distort. A powerful aura began to emanate from Xu Xuan's body.
Upon seeing this scene, even Ye Yinping's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, let alone the others.
"Elephant Fragrance Art! It's Elephant Fragrance Art! "
Astonished voices sounded in the surroundings. Those who were able to enter the Four Quarters Embassy were either wealthy or noble, and their knowledge far surpassed that of ordinary people. Soon, someone recognized the technique.
Hearing the exclamations in the surroundings, the offspring of the Xu Clan revealed a proud expression.
The Xu Clan specialized in the business of elephants, and it wasn't without reason that they came into contact with elephants. Back then, the Old Master had contributed greatly to the rescue of the emperor, and the royal family bestowed upon him several royal martial arts manuals. One of them was 《Elephant Fragrance Art》.
While others were still cultivating inferior martial arts like Steel Chains Traversing the River, the Xu Clan was already able to cultivate a powerful martial art like the Elephant Fragrance Art.
Once one mastered this martial art, it would be hard to find a match in the same realm.
It was through this 《Elephant Fragrance Art》 that Xu Xuan was invincible among his peers. If Wang Chong were to use a weapon, he might still stand a chance. However, if he were to use his bare hands, he would be courting death!
"Elephant Fragrance Art!"
Xu Xuan bellowed. In an instant, his mind and body became one, and the air around him exploded. At the same time, the trumpeting of an elephant echoed in the air.
Xu Xuan's body was shrouded in explosive air, and as though a massive wild elephant, he charged toward Wang Chong. If he were to be struck by this attack, even a mountain would be torn apart.
"Not good!"
"Young Master Chong is in danger! — — "
… …
In the surroundings, the faces of the descendants from the Zhao, Sun, Ma, and Hu Clans darkened. Wang Chi and Wang Zhu Yan's faces paled. Just as they were about to step forward to save him, something unexpected happened.
Boom!
In the blink of an eye, just as Xu Xuan was charging toward Wang Chong with the speed of a thunderbolt, Wang Chong's figure suddenly leaped into the air.
In that instant, Wang Chong seemed to have disappeared. In its place was a vivid, lifelike, and extremely vigorous flood dragon in the sky.
The serpent dragon circled in the air before diving down.
"Heavy punch! — — "
Gathering all of his strength, Wang Chong fused the Dragon Bone Art and his heavy punch together before punching downward.
Boom!
The ground trembled, the stone slabs cracked, and dust billowed in the dueling ground. Indistinctly, one could hear the cry of an elephant. Then, under the dumbfounded gazes of the crowd, Xu Xuan fell to the ground as though a wooden pillar.
Boom!
