Chapter 131: Medicine Blood Sect (Monthly Ticket Bonus [Please Follow and Subscribe!])

"The one who injured others is Xiang Long of the Xiang Family!"

The voice spread throughout the entire Xiang Family.

The echo was loud, leaving many people bewildered, not knowing what had happened.

In just a few short breaths, many cultivators had already gathered beside the Wusheng Well.

Among them, an old woman looked at Pan, an expression of disbelief appearing on her face.

"Who injured you?"

As Pan's guardian, she had been outside the Xiang Family the whole time.

If not for the sudden turn of events, she would not have come in.

Nearby, the Xiang Family ancestor, Ye You, Fang Niu, and others also wore looks of astonishment.

Xiang Qi also revealed a profound expression.

They looked at Pan, and combining this with the shout from before, they had a crazy guess in their hearts.

However, that guess was too outrageous, and they dared not believe it.

They all looked at Pan, their gazes shocked.

The wound on Pan's chest was too terrifying.

It radiated various types of Sword Intent.

Pan raised his head, the brutality in his eyes dissipating slightly; at this moment, his voice was exceptionally calm: "The one who injured me is Xiang Long."

The guardian's expression changed again and again.

If these old fellows had attacked Pan, she would naturally have something to say about it.

But now, it was a junior who had attacked and injured Pan to this extent, so she naturally could not say much.

However, she was still incredibly shocked inside.

Just how stunning and peerless was that Xiang Long to be able to injure Pan to this degree?

As Pan's guardian, she naturally knew how terrifying Pan's talent was.

Even the Seven Fragrances Empress who fell over a dozen years ago was likely not as talented as Pan.

Yet at this moment, Pan had lost.

The guardian's face was gloomy as she took Pan and flew away: "Let's go."

At this time, Ye You suddenly laughed and roared.

"The one who injured Pan is Ye You's disciple, Xiang Long!"

Beside him, Fang Niu also roared.

"The one who injured Pan is Fang Niu's disciple, Xiang Long!"

"The one who injured Pan..."

The few old men were like children, competing here to see whose voice was louder.

Play is play, and noise is noise.

When the earlier passion dissipated, everyone present revealed suspicious expressions.

Xiang Qi spoke at this moment: "How did Xiang Long defeat Pan?"

"Pan has been cultivating the Dao for a hundred years, while Long Er is only seventeen; how did he defeat Pan?" Ye You also looked suspicious.

Everyone present had the same thought as Ye You.

They had personally instructed Xiang Long and knew his talent was extraordinary.

However, there was a limit to how extraordinary it could be.

Pan was no Ordinary person; he was a genius among geniuses and had been cultivating the Dao for a hundred years.

"Moreover, Pan was injured by a Sword Dao Divine Ability; none of us have taught Xiang Long the sword, right?"

The few looked at each other in dismay.

At this time, the Xiang Family ancestor spoke, his voice carrying a trace of trembling: "Is it possible that Xiang Long's Dragon Soul has fully undergone Awakening?"

Since the founding of the Xiang Family, there had never been a true Dragon Soul Awakened one.

Regarding the Dragon Soul, the Xiang Family ancestor actually did not know much either.

Beside him, Xiang Qi narrowed her eyes slightly, her beautiful face appearing somewhat cold and elegant under the moonlight: "Doesn't that mean that the current Xiang Long can be considered a true powerhouse in terms of strength!"

A true powerhouse is at least a Great Heavenly Venerable!

"Mm." The Xiang Family ancestor nodded, his gaze burning, "If this is the case, I fear it won't take three thousand years; in just two thousand, or even one thousand years, once Xiang Long is fully grown, he will transform into a true dragon and become a powerhouse of the True Spirit Realm."

The Xiang Family ancestor's voice trembled.

In the past, he had speculated that Xiang Long had awakened a Dragon Soul.

But now it seemed that the Dragon Soul Xiang Long awakened was not an ordinary one, and it was certainly not that kind of incomplete Dragon Soul.

Otherwise, he would not have such strength at sixteen.

Beside him, Xiang Qi sighed: "It seems I misunderstood him before."

If Xiang Long's Dragon Soul had truly fully undergone Awakening, then he would not even need to cultivate; he would only need to wait one or two thousand years to become a powerhouse of the True Spirit Realm.

One must know that in her past life, Xiang Qi was only a powerhouse of the True Spirit Realm.

No wonder Xiang Long was unwilling to specialize in one path, because there was no need.

After all, he did not need to consume time to cultivate; his strength would grow naturally.

"I wonder where Long Er will go after leaving Dragon King Ridge?" The Xiang Family ancestor let out a sigh, yet there was pride in his eyes that could not be hidden.

Xiang Long was a descendant of his Xiang Family!

The Medicine Blood State also had a true peerless genius!

Aurora State.

Lin Chao rode an Iron-Eating Beast, slowly emerging from the mountain forest.

More than a month had passed since he left Medicine Blood State.

After leaving Medicine Blood State, Lin Chao arrived in Aurora State.

He wanted to improve his cultivation in the Dao of alchemy, and Aurora State was the best place for it.

At that time, the great war between the cultivators of Aurora State and Dongsheng State had already come to an end.

However, as Lin Chao stepped onto the land of Aurora State, he could still see devastation everywhere.

Women in rags, barely able to cover themselves.

Children, sallow and thin, resembling sick monkeys.

Broken walls and ruined remains clearly visible on the massive city walls.

And the giant craters in the mountain forests, with tree roots that showed only charred black.

All of this signaled that this state had once suffered greatly from the flames of war.

Along the way, Lin Chao built bridges where he saw rivers, cleared paths where he saw dangerous peaks, and brought rain where he saw drought.

He acted with chivalry and righteousness.

At this moment, he did not look like an Immortal Cultivator, but rather like a chivalrous hero acting with righteousness.

Riding the Iron-Eating Beast, Lin Chao walked onto the main road.

The road was wide, with many figures and Flying Boats parked to the side.

This was the foot of the mountain gate of the Medicine Saint Sect.

Every year, countless people came to the Medicine Saint Sect to apprentice and learn.

After all, the Medicine Saint Sect was proficient in alchemy, and the alchemists who graduated from there held esteemed positions.

Cultivators in the world were also rarely willing to offend an alchemist.

This time, the war between Dongsheng State and Aurora State had swept through almost the entire Aurora State.

Only the Medicine Saint Sect remained independent of the war, untouched by the fallout.

This showed the terrifying status of the Medicine Saint Sect.

Among the Jiuzhou, nearly thirty percent of the strongest alchemists came from the Medicine Saint Sect.

Every year, countless people came to the Medicine Saint Sect to apprentice, and there were even people from other states.

Just then, a voice came: "Look, sister, what a cute Iron-Eating Beast. I really want to raise one."

"You are the only male descendant of our Feng City Shi Family. Can you put away your playful thoughts? The honor and decline of our Shi Family all rest on you alone." The woman spoke with a tone of frustration that he would not live up to expectations.

The youth immediately stopped speaking and did not dare to look at the cute Iron-Eating Beast.

Lin Chao's gaze narrowed slightly, and his Chong Tong flickered.

He let out a sigh: "To think they are the distant relatives of Master Shi Jian in Aurora State."

Possessing the Chong Tong, he could naturally see the bloodline of Master Shi Jian's clansmen.

Lin Chao withdrew his gaze.

He walked toward the entrance for the assessment.

A quarter of an hour later, Lin Chao stopped his steps.

Ahead, a young man wearing an alchemist's robe asked.

"Name?"

"Xiang Lin."

"Age?"

"107 years old."

"Cultivation?"

"Golden Body."

"Put down one thousand Spirit Stones and wait to the side."

"Very well."

Lin Chao paid one thousand Spirit Stones.

When the Medicine Saint Sect recruited disciples, one had to pay one thousand Spirit Stones just for the pre-assessment.

If one passed the assessment and entered, the one thousand Spirit Stones would not be refunded if one failed.

Even so, every year there were still many people willing to spend Spirit Stones to take the assessment.

Just then, a commotion arose.

"Without Spirit Stones, you cannot take the assessment. Please return."

Lin Chao looked over; it was that pair of siblings.

At this moment, the sister's face showed a look of pain: "I clearly brought the Spirit Stones; how could they have disappeared?"

Those Spirit Stones were something their Shi Family had struggled to scrape together, all to allow Shi Qing, who had a talent for alchemy, to enter the Medicine Saint Sect and resolve the family's crisis.

That disciple of the Medicine Saint Sect waved his hand hurriedly: "If you don't have Spirit Stones, leave quickly. Don't affect others."

The woman stepped aside, her face full of self-reproach.

Just then, Lin Chao spoke up: "Meeting is fate. I will pay this one thousand Spirit Stones for you."

Master Shi Jian gave him the Chong Tong; paying one thousand Spirit Stones for Master Shi Jian's clansmen was nothing.

"This..." The young woman was slightly stunned. At first, she was wary, but upon meeting Lin Chao's clear eyes, her wariness dissipated. "Many thanks, young master. I will certainly repay these one thousand Spirit Stones."

After this small interlude, the Medicine Saint Sect's assessment proceeded as normal.

The Medicine Saint Sect's assessment was very simple: as long as one could refine a finished medicinal pill, one could be a Beginner.

If the pill formed is First Grade middle or lower, one becomes an Outer Sect Disciple.

If the pill formed is First Grade upper or above, one immediately becomes an Inner Sect Disciple.

First Grade upper and above are all Inner Sect Disciples, but there are differences even among Inner Sect Disciples.

In this assessment, Lin Chao was neither too prominent nor too low-key, only forming a Third Grade pill.

Yet even so, he still stood out from the crowd, becoming the first among tens of thousands of examinees.

Out of tens of thousands of examinees, in the end, fewer than five hundred passed the assessment.

Shi Qing barely managed to form a First Grade upper pill and also passed the assessment.

After the assessment concluded, all the disciples began to cross the Questioning Heart Bridge, then entered the main hall of the Gate.

The several hundred newly entered disciples were assigned to different peaks.

However, twelve people were not assigned.

Among these twelve people was Lin Chao.

At this moment, an Elder walked over, beaming with joy: "You twelve are all Third Grade pill formers with overflowing talent.

Especially Xiang Lin, who formed a Third Grade upper pill, making him the first among the new disciples this time."

The others all looked at Lin Chao with complex gazes; some were envious, some were calm, and some were jealous.

"Your talents are all very good, different from ordinary disciples.

From now on, you are disciples of Heavenly Pill Peak." The old man spoke, his voice deafening.

"Many thanks, Elder." The others were all incomparably excited.

The Medicine Saint Sect has a total of thirty-seven peaks, among which the most powerful is Heavenly Pill Peak.

Heavenly Pill Peak can be said to gather all the genius alchemists of the Medicine Saint Sect.

"Heavenly Pill Peak is not so easy to stay on; every month, quite a few unqualified alchemists are eliminated.

One month from now, of you twelve, perhaps only two or three will remain on Heavenly Pill Peak," the Elder said.

The others all had solemn expressions.

They naturally knew the terror and power of Heavenly Pill Peak.

Led by the Elder, Lin Chao and the others entered Heavenly Pill Peak.

Just as he entered Heavenly Pill Peak, Lin Chao's pupils constricted.

For some reason, in the dark, he felt a sense of bloodline connection.

The place on his spine where the Dragon Pattern grew was currently slightly hot.

It was as if something related to a True Dragon was hidden within this Heavenly Pill Peak.

Lin Chao could not help but think of the Butterfly Bird.

Could it be that the big guy the Butterfly Bird spoke of also left something behind at Heavenly Pill Peak?
