Chapter 46: Lu Xuan Bloodbath the Qin Family!

At this moment, Lu Xuan appeared like a ghost, arriving before Qin Cang and seizing his throat in one grip.

Qin Cang turned pale with shock, 'Who exactly are you?'

He is a Two-Star Great Emperor, yet he cannot resist?

Could this person be a Three-Star Great Emperor?

Lu Xuan directly searched his soul.

After a moment, he saw the scene of Qin Xiao and Qin Cang transmitting messages.

Lu Xuan snorted coldly, 'Does your Qin Family enjoy doing this kind of sneaky, petty business?'

Qin Cang immediately begged for mercy, 'Senior of the Da Dao Sect, my Qin Family swears we will never do this again! We can apologize!'

Lu Xuan scoffed, 'Is an apology useful?'

Smack!

One palm shattered Qin Cang's skull.

Instant kill!

Blood burst out!

Lu Xuan tossed aside Qin Cang's corpse, thinking inwardly, 'Damn! I must make the Qin Family taste pain, otherwise if they keep scheming, who can stand it?'

However, I cannot openly oppose the Qin Family.

After all, the Qin Family has a Seven-Star Great Emperor and an Eight-Star Great Emperor.

If he were caught by the Seven-Star Great Emperor, he would be instantly killed!

Soon, Lu Xuan had an idea.

Using a Transmission Jade Slip, he would go destroy the Qin Family's properties to force them to negotiate.

After all, Nan Huang's unwritten rule is that the grudges of the younger generation are to be settled by the younger generation themselves.

This time, the Qin Family has violated the rule!

Imagine if everyone bullied the weak with strength; then the talents of Nan Huang would surely never grow.

Thinking this, Lu Xuan acted.

From Qin Cang's memories, he already knew the locations of the Qin Family's many properties.

Lu Xuan began his slaughter!

In one day, Lu Xuan destroyed ten Qin Family properties, with blood flowing like rivers!

Among them, as many as four One-Star Great Emperors were instantly killed by Lu Xuan!

The Qin Family flew into a rage!

Lu Xuan left clues, letting the Qin Family meet at a tavern to talk.

Soon.

The Qin Family sent a Five-Star Great Emperor to negotiate.

Lu Xuan felt a bit uneasy; what if this Five-Star Great Emperor is a tough guy, then wouldn't he be slapped to death outright?

The Qin Family's Five-Star Great Emperor said, 'Which Great Emperor of the Da Dao Sect are you, sir?'

At this moment, Lu Xuan was wrapped in Divine Splendor, so no one could see him.

He directly slapped that Great Emperor, 'So much nonsense!'

Smack!

The Qin Family Great Emperor was dumbfounded.

It seems this senior before him is far stronger than himself!

A moment of silence.

He respectfully asked, 'Senior, my Qin Family is willing to compromise. Can we keep this matter between us?'

After all, they know the Qin Family's strength is inferior to that of the Da Dao Sect.

If a full-scale war really broke out, the Qin Family would be annihilated!

The grudge between Ye Chen and Xiao Qin can only be resolved by their younger generation themselves!

Lu Xuan snorted coldly, 'If there is a next time, I will exterminate the Qin Family!'

The Qin Family Great Emperor, frightened, quickly nodded, 'Yes, sir! Senior!'

He hastily presented a Space Ring, 'This is the Qin Family's compensation! Please, senior, keep this matter quiet!'

Lu Xuan coldly snorted, directly activated the Space Transmission Jade Slip, and slipped away.

Seeing Lu Xuan's terrifying spatial attainments, the Qin Family Great Emperor broke out in a cold sweat, 'Fortunately this senior didn't strike; otherwise I might have been instantly killed!'

The Qin Family Great Emperor returned to the Qin Family and told Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao gritted his teeth, 'Then I will personally kill Ye Chen!'

Meanwhile.

Lu Xuan also broke out in a cold sweat, 'Damn, that was too exciting.'

He quickly returned to the Ye Family and informed them.

The Ye Family members were all shocked.

Lu Xuan waved his hand and returned to Xuan Qing Feng.

He departed in a carefree manner.

He told Ye Chen about this.

Ye Chen was greatly shocked!

Lu Xuan smiled, then returned to his cave dwelling to rest.

This trip was damn scary!

Just as I returned to the Great Dao Sect, the transmission jade slip ran out of energy!

The next day.

Lu Xuan had just awakened when the sound-transmitting jade slip in his bosom trembled slightly.

Lu Xuan infused spiritual power, and soon the sect master's voice came through.

"Lu Xuan, I have something to tell you."

Lu Xuan frowned slightly, "Sect Master, what is it?"

The sect master's voice turned solemn, "In three months, our Great Dao Sect will hold a Pill Exchange Conference. At that time, the Supreme Profound Sect, the Medicine Clan, the Fragrant Pill Sect, and other major powers will set foot in our Great Dao Sect. During the Pill Exchange Conference, I hope you won't run around aimlessly; stay on Xuan Qing Feng."

Lu Xuan blinked slightly, "A Pill Exchange Conference?"

The sect master said, "Exactly! This Pill Exchange Conference is held once every hundred years, and now it's our Great Dao Sect's turn. You know what I mean—don't wander about the sect aimlessly when the time comes."

Lu Xuan's face twitched.

The sect master felt his hint was already quite obvious.

If Lu Xuan doesn't show up then, the other major powers will likely restrain themselves somewhat.

Lu Xuan suddenly realized that if the Supreme Profound Sect is coming, then Nangong Bai Xue will probably come as well!

Upon thinking that.

Lu Xuan said, "Sect Master, I understand. However, I also have something about Ye Chen to tell you, related to the Supreme Profound Sect and this Pill Exchange Conference."

The sect master frowned, curiously asking, "Oh? What about Ye Chen?"

Lu Xuan told the sect master about Ye Chen calling off his engagement to Nangong Bai Xue.

The sect master was stunned, "Really? Then you and Ye Chen had better stay put on Xuan Qing Feng and not come out."

Lu Xuan: "..."

The sect master quickly told this matter to Elder Mu and Elder Cang Xuan.

Elder Cang Xuan and the two were somewhat astonished.

Isn't that too much of a coincidence?

After a moment of silence, Elder Cang Xuan chuckled, "Qin Xiao probably doesn't yet know that Ye Chen has recovered and possesses top-tier talent. Surely the two will eventually clash."

The sect master nodded, "The Holy Son position of our Great Dao Sect has been vacant for many years! As far as I know, Qin Xiao is a Divine Son candidate, and in a year the Supreme Profound Sect will open the Divine Son competition!"

Elder Cang Xuan said, "Let's discuss our sect's Holy Son position after the Pill Exchange Conference."

The sect master and Elder Mu said, "Alright."

Five days later.

Ye Chen, somewhat excited, came to Lu Xuan's cave dwelling, "Master, I have already memorized the first volume of the Classic of Herbs and Trees by heart."

Yan Ye emerged from Ye Chen's jade pendant, "Peak Master Lu, Dust's talent is extraordinary. In just five days, his performance rivals that of a genius from my Medicine Clan!"

Lu Xuan gave a faint smile and nodded.

He didn't need Ye Chen to report; he already knew.

After all, the system's voice has been constantly reminding him that his herbalism proficiency is improving.

Yan Ye looked at Lu Xuan with some excitement, "Peak Master Lu, from now on I will teach Ye Chen how to concoct pills."

Lu Xuan nodded, "Elder Ye, the rest is up to you."

Yan Ye said, "Good."

Ye Chen raised his fist confidently and said, "Master, believe me—I will surely live up to your expectations and enter the rank of Mystic Tier Alchemist!"

Not long after.

Ye Chen and Yan Ye returned to the cave dwelling.

Yan Ye began explaining the pill-concoction process.

"First, we need to nurture the pill furnace. The way of spiritual fire has already reached great accomplishment, so this step poses no difficulty for you."

"Second, extract the essence of the spiritual herbs and pour it into the pill furnace."

"Third, we concoct the pills, condensing the essence into medicinal pills."

Ye Chen listened attentively with a serious expression, "Elder Ye, I understand."

Yan Ye smiled and said, "The first pill an alchemist ever makes is always the Qi Gathering Pill. Don't look down on it just because it's a Yellow Tier pill; even some Human Tier alchemists cannot master it completely."

"Although the Qi Gathering Pill is low in rank, it encompasses all five viscera. If one comprehends its method of refinement, mastering one technique opens the way to all techniques."

Upon hearing that, Ye Chen took out the Heaven-Swallowing Crucible; with a thought, the Bone-chilling Netherfire appeared in the cave dwelling.

Yan Ye gave a faint smile, "Dust, next I'll give you a demonstration—watch closely."

Ye Chen said, "Okay."

Yan Ye's divine sense surged, the Heaven-Swallowing Crucible floated directly in midair; he used his soul power to control the Bone-chilling Netherfire, continually nurturing the crucible.

As the Bone-chilling Netherfire's power continually invaded the furnace, the surface of the Heaven-Swallowing Crucible flowed with brilliant divine radiance; a mysterious qi mechanism spread outward, and the engraved mountains, rivers, birds, beasts, and mighty figures gradually emerged.

Yan Ye couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder it's an Emperor Tier pill furnace—it contains such profound 'Dao' and 'Rhythm'."

Half an incense stick later.

Yan Ye took out the spiritual herbs for refining the Qi Gathering Pill—silver leaf grass, scarlet bloom, earth root grass, etc. —extracted their essence entirely, and threw them into the pill furnace.

In his hand, the spiritual seals shifted; the Bone-chilling Netherfire continually changed shape, and its temperature adjusted accordingly.

Not long after.

A medicinal fragrance drifted from the Heaven-Swallowing Crucible, refreshing the heart and soul.

Yan Ye gave a soft shout; the furnace lid lifted lightly, and nine pills appeared inside the Heaven-Swallowing Crucible.

Each pill bore a pill halo, and the finest one actually had nine halos!

Ye Chen was somewhat shocked.

A Qi Gathering Pill with nine halos!

He's truly a Heaven-rank Alchemist!

Yao Yan stroked his beard with one hand, slightly shook his head, yet a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, 'Somewhat unfamiliar, somewhat unfamiliar!'

Ye Chen smiled.

Yao Yan handed the Swallowing Heaven Furnace to Ye Chen, 'Now it's your turn.'

Ye Chen nodded and proceeded accordingly.

Although his movements were somewhat unfamiliar and not especially smooth, the whole process was meticulous, with no mistakes.

Half an hour later, a medicinal fragrance drifted from the Swallowing Heaven Furnace.

With a thought, Ye Chen opened the alchemy furnace.

Likewise, nine pills lay quietly at the bottom of the furnace.

Yao Yan's expression shifted slightly, 'Nine pills appeared on the first attempt at alchemy! Wait… this is a pill halo!'

Each pill bears a pill halo!

One of them actually has six pill halos!

Seeing this, Yao Yan looked at Ye Chen with utter shock.

Could this kid be a natural-born alchemist?

This is his first time doing alchemy!

And he directly produced nine pills?

You know that for an ordinary alchemist, successfully producing even one pill on the first attempt is already a stroke of luck!

What's more, one of the pills has six pill halos!

This is top-notch even among Yellow-rank alchemists!

Ye Chen, however, lightly shook his head, not very satisfied, 'Old Yao, my technique is somewhat unfamiliar, somewhat unfamiliar!'

Yao Yan's face twitched.

This kid's alchemy talent is too heaven-defying!

Next, Ye Chen continued to strive.

Finally, after several days, he refined a pill bearing nine pill halos!

Ye Chen felt somewhat excited, 'Old Yao, can we start attempting to refine Human-rank pills?'

Old Yao laughed and shook his head, 'No need. We'll skip the Human rank and directly refine Jade-rank pills!'

Ye Chen exclaimed in surprise, 'Why?'

Old Yao said, 'You can refine the Qi Gathering Pill into nine pills and even produce nine pill halos—do you know how heaven-defying that is? Remember, you've only been doing alchemy for a few days!'

'Your level now already surpasses that of an ordinary Human-rank alchemist!'

Ye Chen rubbed his nose, 'But I feel I still have many shortcomings.'

Old Yao gave a dry cough, 'You brat, next we'll refine the Jade-rank fifth-grade Condensing Spirit Pill!'

At the same time.

Lu Xuan was leisurely lying in his cave dwelling.

The system's voice sounded.

'Ding! Host's second disciple Ye Chen's alchemy attainment has broken through to the Jade rank! Begin synchronized comprehension!'

Lu Xuan was slightly surprised.

In just a few days, Ye Chen has stepped into the Jade-rank alchemist?

This alchemy talent is truly too heaven-defying!

Moments later, many alchemy techniques and a large amount of alchemy insights appeared out of thin air in Lu Xuan's mind.

Thanks to the system's double harvest, Lu Xuan directly stepped into the Profound-rank alchemist!

At this moment, if an alchemy furnace appeared before Lu Xuan, he could completely rely on his subconscious to concoct pills!

Lu Xuan couldn't help but marvel at the system's power!

This double harvest is too terrifying!

Just lying there doing nothing, he directly became a Profound-rank alchemist!

This is simply shocking to the world!

'Ding! Host's eldest disciple Ji Fuyao's cultivation is rising! Begin synchronization!'

In a boom, a vast amount of cultivation foundation surged into Lu Xuan's body, impacting his limbs and bones like great rivers, and his dantian instantly surged with cultivation foundation!

Lu Xuan directly entered the Sevenfold Profound Venerable Realm!

He checked Ji Fuyao's system panel.

Ji Fuyao entered the Twofold Profound Venerable Realm!

Lu Xuan gave a light smile, 'Not bad! Not bad! Both disciples are putting in effort!'

Soon.

When it was time to eat.

Today Ye Chen was cooking, his mood pleasant, a smile on his face, happily cooking.

Half an incense stick later.

Ye Chen walked over holding the cooked spirit chicken meat, smiling, 'Spirit chicken meat's here, chicken soup's here.'

On the stone table.

Lu Xuan and the three of them sat around.

Ji Fuyao gave a bewitching smile, 'Junior brother, why are you so happy today?'

Ye Chen said with a smile, "Senior Sister, I am already a Jade Tier Alchemist! After I finish eating, I will start attempting to refine the Jade Tier Fifth-Grade Spirit-Condensing Pill!"

Ji Fuyao's starry eyes flickered, a trace of shock, "Only a few days have passed, and you've already entered the rank of Jade Rank Alchemist?"

Ye Chen smiled, "It's all thanks to Master's good teaching."

Lu Xuan: "……"

He didn't have it.

Don't talk nonsense.

This time he really didn't teach anything.

It's all Yao Lao guiding!

Ye Chen took out a Gathering Qi Pill with nine-path pill halo from his Storage Ring and handed it to Ji Fuyao, "Senior Sister, this is the first pill I've refined with a nine-path pill halo. Would you like to try it?"

Ji Fuyao took it and carefully examined the Gathering Qi Pill.

A ripple rose in her heart.

Nine-path pill halo!

Although it's only a Yellow Rank Pill!

But I'm afraid many Jade Rank Alchemists can't refine it!

What is a pill halo?

A pill halo represents almost completely condensing the essence of spiritual herbs, representing profound skill in alchemy.

Ye Chen said with a smile, "Senior Sister, rest assured, once I become a Heaven Rank Alchemist, I'll refine Heaven Rank Pills for you!"

Ji Fuyao slightly tilted her snow-white neck and nodded.

She could imagine that in the future, Ye Chen would gain some renown in Nan Huang via the Way of Alchemy.

Thinking of that.

Her slender jade hand brought the Gathering Qi Pill to her lips, her delicate lips parted slightly, and she swallowed it in one gulp.

Instantly, a stream of extremely pure spiritual energy surged into her dantian; though not vast, it was all the essence of spiritual energy.

Ji Fuyao smiled and nodded, "Junior Brother, not bad."

Lu Xuan also nodded, patted Ye Chen's shoulder, "Keep working hard."

Ye Chen said, "Okay. Oh, right, Master, besides alchemy I haven't neglected cultivation! Look, I'm already near the late Xuan Huang Realm!"

Lu Xuan gave a light smile, "Let me set a small goal for you. In this month, your cultivation will break into the Xuan Zong Realm!"

Ye Chen's face stiffened.

This is a bit hard!

If only I had known he wouldn't bring up cultivation just now.

Lu Xuan pointed at Ji Fuyao and said leisurely, "Ye Chen, Fuyao back then went from Xuan Wang Realm to mid Xuan Zong Realm in just one month!"

Put some pressure on Ye Chen!

During this time, Lu Xuan also realized that Ye Chen has been secretly competing with Ji Fuyao.

He doesn't want to lose to Senior Sister by too much!

Sure enough, after Lu Xuan finished speaking, Ye Chen patted his chest and said, "Master, rest assured, I will definitely enter the Xuan Zong Realm!"

Lu Xuan nodded.

After eating.

Ji Fuyao looked at Lu Xuan, smiled charmingly, "Master, I'm going back to cultivate."

Lu Xuan nodded, unable to help feeling emotional.

These two disciples cultivate with extreme effort.

Originally Ji Fuyao cultivated very hard; now that Ye Chen has entered Xuan Qing Feng, he has inadvertently put pressure on her, making her work even harder.

Both are secretly competing!

Just then.

The system's voice sounded.

"Ding! Time-limited disciple cultivation mission released!"

"Within half a month, let the eldest disciple Ji Fuyao's Spirit Fire Way reach half-step great perfection!"

"……"
