The Li family and the Yang family were only separated by a river.
The Li family was ranked fourth or fifth among the eight great battle clans. They had never entered the top three, nor had they ever fallen below sixth place. Their position was very stable.
The Li family cultivated the "Heaven Suppressing Divine Pagoda". It was rumored that this was a unique ability cultivated by one of the human race's ancestors, the Pagoda Bearing Heavenly King. Once cultivated to the twelfth level of the Heaven Suppressing Divine Pagoda, it could seal demons and suppress demons, its power boundless.
The current Li family's Heaven Ascending level figures had only cultivated to the tenth level of the Heaven Suppressing Divine Pagoda. An eleventh level Heaven Suppressing Divine Pagoda had already not appeared for tens of thousands of years, let alone a perfect twelfth level Heaven Suppressing Divine Pagoda.
In the past ten thousand years, the Li family had not produced an overly outstanding person. However, those who stood on the stage all relied on fighting to become famous, supporting the Li family's strength.
The Li family and the Yang family were close neighbors. The two families had a marriage alliance, especially when the Yang family's old patriarch's younger sister married into the Li family, becoming the wife of the current Li family's patriarch's younger brother. With this layer of influence, the two families forming an alliance was a matter of course.
When the Yang family's old patriarch was ousted, the relationship between the Yang and Li families began to break. In fact, the Li family had long looked down on the Yang family, intending to have the Yang family rely on their family. However, the Yang family had a great-grandmother holding down the fort, so they had never done so.
After the relationship between the Yang and Li families was broken, the Li family began to become restless.
The Xing family suppressed the Yang family, and their Li family took the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, seizing the Yang family's territory.
Unfortunately, Yang Wu's sudden appearance still affected their plans.
Especially when White Hair Demoness and Flying Tiger delivered Yang Wu's letter, the Li family's upper echelons completely exploded.
"This Yang Family junior is too arrogant. Does he think that our Li Family is a vegetarian? He even dares to threaten us. "
"Isn't that right? Does he really think that he can ignore our Li family just because he became a Saint Alchemist? Immediately mobilize the troops to kill the Ju Lang gang. "
"Our Li family also has a Saint Alchemist, and not just one. What right does he have to be so arrogant? Truly a newborn calf not afraid of a tiger."
"Everyone, don't be rash. He is a top-grade Saint Alchemist and has Elder Miao's backing. If we can be on good terms with him, it might be better than falling out...."
"How about we send someone to Ju Lang Gang to have a talk with him?"
…
After some discussion, the Li family sent a Saint to the Ju Lang Gang to negotiate with Yang Wu.
This Saint was the Patriarch's younger brother, Li Huatong. He was at the Grade 2 Astral Rune Realm. His talent and strength weren't particularly outstanding among the upper echelons of the Li Clan, but he was a smooth and slick person. He was in charge of the Li Clan's external affairs. His wife was the younger sister of the Yang Clan's Patriarch and was a key figure in the alliance between the Li and Yang Clans.
Li Huatong looked like a refined middle-aged man. His clothes were clean, and he held a fan in his hand as he headed towards Ju Lang Gang with White Hair Demoness and Flying Tiger.
Along the way, this guy communicated with the White Hair Demoness many times, hoping to attract the attention of this peerless beauty. Who would have thought that she would only answer all his questions without saying a single superfluous word. She didn't even put him in her eyes. He was very hurt inside.
Li Huatong was a self-proclaimed romantic character. Apart from his wife, he had seven concubines. All of them were good-looking, and it was rare that he treated his women well. He wasn't a scumbag who would abandon his women.
The White Hair Demoness was even more interesting than his eight wives, and he was very moved.
"I have heard about the matter between you and Xing Shi Man. Do you want me to settle it for you?" Li Huatong couldn't find a breakthrough in his conversation with the White Hair Demoness. He had no choice but to pick a topic that the White Hair Demoness couldn't avoid.
The White Hair Demoness's beautiful eyes narrowed as she looked at Li Huatong and replied, "How about you kill him and I become your woman?"
Li Huatong almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. Xing Shi Man was the previous generation's Saint Lady of the Xing Clan. She was an extremely young Saint Elder of the Xing Clan. If he was to kill her, it would be akin to forming a death feud between the Li and Xing Clans. How could he do it? The White Hair Demoness was obviously making things difficult for him.
Li Huatong knew that this woman wasn't to be trifled with, so he didn't try to flirt with her.
When they arrived at the Ju Lang Gang, Yang Wu brought Qing Feng to welcome Li Huatong.
"Welcome, Emissary of the Li Clan." Yang Wu didn't know Li Huatong, so he could only address him as such.
Li Huatong didn't bother to be courteous with Yang Wu. He went straight to the point and said, "Young Clan Head Yang, what kind of game are you trying to play? Do you really think that our Li Clan will be afraid of a Saint Alchemist? Our Li Clan also has two Saint Alchemists. Who doesn't know how to play with medicinal pills? If we join forces with the Xing Clan, I'm afraid that your Yang Clan will be annihilated. Even a Saint Alchemist like you won't be able to save your clan. "
Li Huatong was truly worthy of being called an expert negotiator. He immediately used his power to suppress others.
Yang Wu wasn't someone who would be scared. He looked at Li Huatong and said, "The Yang and Li Clans are allies. If we join forces, both sides will benefit. If there's a conflict, it won't be good for either side. If your Li Clan is willing to join forces with the Xing Clan, our Yang Clan can also join forces with the Sun Clan. If you want to bully our Yang Clan, who knows who will be the one to lose. Emissary Li has an old saying, 'It's better to have one more friend than one more enemy.' The Yang Clan has been in decline for many years and doesn't have anything good left for the Li Clan. What's more, the Xing Clan won't just sit by and watch you grow stronger. You should be clearer about this than me, right? "
Li Huatong was checkmated by Yang Wu's words. He didn't know what to say.
He wasn't scared by Yang Wu's words. Instead, he was thinking about how to make the best choice for the Li Clan.
Yang Wu continued, "I know that your Li Clan has two Saint Alchemists, but neither of them joined the Alchemist Alliance, right? They're only Iron Saint Alchemists. How can they compare to a Gold Saint Alchemist like me? You have the nerve to compare the substandard Saint Pills they refined with mine. What a joke. What's more, you should know how Vice Alliance Leader Miao protected me. With my age, it's only a matter of time before I become a Divine Alchemist. This is also why he thinks so highly of me. When that day comes, do you dare say that the Li Clan will still dare to bully my Yang Clan? Does the Xing Clan still dare to bully my Yang Clan? Or do you have the confidence to kill me before I become a Divine Alchemist? "
Li Huatong's eyes widened as he looked at the spirited Yang Wu. His confidence was completely shaken.
That's right. How old was Yang Wu? He was already a top tier Saint Alchemist. His talent in alchemy was definitely not for show. He had a greater advantage than anyone else. A top tier Saint Alchemist could establish a first-rate force. Then, a Divine Alchemist establishing a giant force was definitely not a joke.
"Hehe, Saint Master Yang Wu is right. Our Li and Yang Clans are allies. We can't ruin the relationship between our two clans over such a small matter. This time, I've come as a representative of my clan. How about we shake hands and make peace?" Li Huatong said politely with a smile. He no longer had the arrogance from before.
Yang Wu stepped forward and shook hands with Li Huatong. He smiled and said, "Of course. The Yang and Li Clans have always been good allies. We are now, and we will be in the future."
"Saint Master Yang Wu, you're really amazing. The Yang Clan will rise again because of you." Li Huatong couldn't help but praise from the bottom of his heart.
When he first arrived, he wanted to scold Yang Wu, this junior, properly. Don't think that you're so great just because you're a Saint Alchemist.
However, before he could finish his words, Yang Wu completely stopped him and convinced him.
He had such confidence.
The Li Clan wasn't necessarily afraid of Miao Miaoqi. However, if they really fought, it wouldn't be good for their Li Clan. It was the same for Yang Wu. Such a young top tier Saint Alchemist had the qualifications to be on equal footing with their Li Clan. The two clans were allies to begin with. There was no need to completely fall out with each other.
Yang Wu warmly received Li Huatong and even gave Li Huatong two Saint Pills. Li Huatong was extremely happy. He patted his chest and promised that when he returned to his clan, he would definitely put in a good word for the Yang Clan and deepen the friendship between the two clans.
Yang Wu also promised that if the Li Clan needed to refine any Saint Pills, as long as he could refine them, he would definitely give priority to the Li Clan. He would also help the Li Clan obtain some benefits through the Apothecary Alliance.
After hearing Yang Wu's promise, Li Huatong returned to the Li Clan with great satisfaction.
After Li Huatong left, the White Haired Witch asked Yang Wu, "Is this person trustworthy?"
"It doesn't matter if he's trustworthy or not. What's important is that the Li Clan won't try to harm the Yang Clan in the short term," Yang Wu replied calmly.
Li Huatong wasn't as simple as he seemed on the surface. Yang Wu also wouldn't completely decide that the other party wouldn't try to harm the Yang Clan just because he patted his chest a few times.
As long as Li Huatong wasn't an idiot, he would observe him for a period of time. If something unexpected happened to him, it would be normal for him to betray him. If he could continue to have a smooth journey, the Li Clan would definitely not try to harm them again. In the end, he still had to continue to become stronger. Only then would he have enough chips to make others look at him in a different light.
"Just you wait, I will definitely become a godly apothecary!" Yang Wu swore in his heart.
After settling the matter with the Li Clan, the Yang Clan received the news and were all overjoyed.
With Yang Wu in the Yang Clan, it was a sign of prosperity.
Yang Wu didn't have time to be proud. He needed to concentrate on cultivating for a period of time to consolidate his current strength and obtain more powerful trump cards to prepare for the battle between the dragon and the phoenix.
Elder Xun had once said that he would benefit from water. The water of the Yangtze River was the best place to help him improve.
After Yang Wu came out of the Dragon Tomb, his strength increased very quickly, and his foundation was very solid. However, he felt that it was still not enough, so he dove into the depths of the water to cultivate.
The bottom of the water was different from the land. The deeper one went, the greater the water pressure, and the greater the restrictions on one's body. Ordinary people wouldn't be able to withstand it at all.
Yang Wu specialized in water profound qi and had cultivated the Sacred Dragon Body. He dove into the depths of a thousand feet and was completely fine. He began to crazily breathe in the dense water vapor here. The strength of his dantian once again exploded, and his kidneys were also improved.
"This time, I'll focus on strengthening my martial arts!" Yang Wu muttered with his eyes closed, and entered the final sprint of cultivation before the battle between the dragon and the phoenix.
