A few moments later.
"Grandmaster Chen, you want to compete with Xie Xu in alchemy?"
The travel-worn Wei Changqing had just returned from outside and was immediately shocked by this news.
He was not worried that Chen Xiao would fail.
No matter who it was, if they could have a detailed and clear understanding of every major event that Chen Xiao had done in the past year …
They would naturally have an almost blind faith in this youth.
It was as if he was an omnipotent god, as if there was nothing in the world that Chen Xiao could not do!
The key was —
For many years, the Chinese government and the Valley of Medicine Masters had maintained a relatively harmonious relationship.
Little Medicine Fairy Yue Muchun had been dealt a heavy blow. He was muddle-headed, as if questioning the meaning of life.
If Chen Xiao accidentally destroyed Xie Xu …
Wei Changqing could not help but shudder at the thought of the terrible consequences.
"Grandmaster Chen, I won't say anything else. I just hope that Grandmaster Chen will let Xie Xu go at the crucial moment and not take his life …"
Then, Wei Changqing let out a long sigh and spoke with a conflicted expression.
Chen Xiao only nodded.
"Don't worry, it's just alchemy, I don't think anyone will die."
"Should … should …?"
The old man's body stiffened, he was dumbfounded.
The infamous Demon King Chen had promised … that no one would die?
It was like Crocodile promising to be a vegetarian. This kind of promise was not reassuring!
Seeing that Wei Changqing was about to say something, Chen Xiao shook his head and said coldly,
"It's settled then. As for the venue and equipment, I'll have to trouble Elder Wei to settle it."
"Eh … eh! I understand, I'll make arrangements as soon as possible! "
In the end, Wei Changqing could only nod.
In fact, he knew very well that …
For a powerful cultivator like Chen Xiao, to make such a promise was already the biggest concession he could make!
Looking at the back of the departing figure, Wei Changqing could only pray silently in his heart.
"I hope nothing big will happen in three days."
…
With the map of the Heavenly Gates in hand, Chen Xiao had no intention of staying any longer and quickly returned to the Lu family.
Guan Ningzhu had already been found by Liu Cangqiu, but she was slightly frightened and had just fallen into a deep sleep.
Chen Xiao briefly examined her, then left a stream of protective energy behind to ensure Guan Ningzhu's safety.
After that, he entered the underground chamber and took out a pill the size of a longan.
The pill was suffused with a bloody glow, but it didn't have the slightest smell of blood. Instead, it was like a thousand year blood jade, sparkling and translucent.
As soon as he took it out, a faint fragrance filled the air, making one feel relaxed and happy.
"Blood Jade Profound True Pellet, a top grade seventh-grade spirit pellet."
Looking at the spirit pill in his hand, Chen Xiao could not help but shake his head with a bitter smile.
If it was in his previous life, he wouldn't even be interested in lower grade medicinal pills.
But now on Earth, spiritual items are extremely scarce. Refining the Blood Jade Mystical Pill is already the limit of the limit.
"No matter what, if I refine this pill, I'll be able to advance my cultivation further."
The cultivation of the "Primordial Heavenly Book" consumed a shocking amount of Yuan Qi, far exceeding that of martial artists of the same level.
Just the amount of Yuan Qi required for the cultivation of the Awakening level had already exceeded that of an ordinary Monarch!
According to Chen Xiao's calculations.
His current cultivation level should be at the peak of the early stage of the Awakening level, which is equivalent to a peak one-star Grandmaster on Earth.
Of course, if one were to compare real combat strength, ten one-star Grandmasters combined would not even be able to defeat a single finger of Chen Xiao!
"Once I break through, I'll be in the middle stage of the Awakening level, and the remaining medicinal energy is enough for me to cultivate to the peak of the middle stage."
Slightly excited, Chen Xiao calmed himself down and swallowed the Blood Jade Profound True Pellet.
As soon as the pellet entered his mouth, it instantly turned into a huge medicinal energy, spreading throughout his limbs and bones.
This medicinal energy was like a raging flood, violent and turbulent, enough to make an ordinary Grandmaster explode in an instant!
"Primordial Heavenly Book, refine!"
Chen Xiao yelled, the "Primordial Heavenly Book" was operating at full force, refining this amazing medicinal energy.
At the same time, his cultivation that had been stagnant for a long time began to steadily increase.
…
While Chen Xiao was cultivating in seclusion.
The outside world, however, was already in chaos.
"The Yuwen Clan was annihilated in one night, the higher-ups of the clan were all killed, suspected to be the work of the Lu Clan!"
"The Lu Clan does not have the guts to do so, in my opinion, it was Demon King Chen who did it. I wonder how the Yuwen Clan offended him?"
"This is too cruel! Just a few days ago, the Yuwen Clan came to deliver gifts, but in the blink of an eye, they were annihilated! "
Although most of the news was blocked, there were still some rumors spreading.
For a moment, the people of Tianjing City were in a state of panic, many forces passed down orders to strictly forbid anyone from offending the Lu Clan, those who disobeyed would be expelled from the clan.
After all, no one wanted the demon king to come knocking on their door for no reason!
Not long after, there was suddenly a new piece of news.
"A hidden expert has come out and arranged a battle with Demon King Chen, intending to suppress him in one battle!"
"The time is three days later, the location is at the old site of the Yuwen Clan, and both sides will fight!"
The news came too suddenly, out of the expectations of Wei Changqing and the others. By the time they wanted to stop it, it was already too late.
Almost every upper-class force in Tianjing, regardless of whether they were related to the inner world or not, all knew of the existence of the Grand Pill Battle!
"What's going on? Who spread the news?"
Hearing Zhao Jiangang's report, Wei Changqing's expression was gloomy, and he enunciated each word clearly.
This battle was not suitable for widespread publicity, and the original plan was to be carried out in secret.
Moreover, this time, even the ordinary secular forces had received the news, and it was clearly deliberate.
"Elder Wei, although it is a little hard to believe, according to the various clues …"
Zhao Jiangang paused slightly, and said with difficulty, "This news is very likely spread by Xie Xu of the Valley of the Medicine Masters himself!"
"It's that kid?"
Wei Changqing's eyebrows raised, and his expression became even more gloomy.
Originally, he had wanted to take the face of the Valley of the Medicine Masters into consideration, and turn a big problem into a small one, and a small one into nothing.
But now it looked like …
The other party had no intention of reconciling, and even wanted to blow things up!
Now that the matter of the Grand Pill Battle was known by everyone, many inside stories of the inner world were exposed, and immediately put the government in an extremely passive position.
If it was not handled carefully, it would lead to social unrest, and the outcome would be disaster everywhere!
"If that's the case …"
After thinking for a long time, Wei Changqing finally made a decision, and said with a solemn expression,
"The plan to expose the inner world that was originally going to be implemented will now be carried out ahead of time. Starting with these forces in the capital, immediately send people over to do ideological work!"
Moreover, he also understood a principle.
It was already impossible to win the friendship between Chen Xiao and the Valley of the Medicine Masters!
Therefore, he had to make a choice!
Should he choose Chen Xiao, or choose the Valley of the Medicine Masters?
After an unknown amount of time, Wei Changqing suddenly grinned, revealing a touch of relief.
"Valley of the Medicine Masters, I'm sorry."
