Grand Elder, Rest Assured, I'll Definitely Make a Move

Failure would lead to a frantic breakthrough, while success would bring Zhou Medical Hall a tremendous surprise.

This move by Chu Xinghe demonstrates that we are already invincible!

Compared to Chu Xinghe's composure, Yan Shoujing was so excited he couldn't hold his pee anymore.

Despite the risks, Yan Shoujing contacted Wu Xingyun immediately.

Demonic Emperor, I have already privately inquired with Chu Xinghe for you, and he has absolutely no ideas. The Vast Heaven Sect is doomed to lose this round.

Not only are their stockpiled low-grade pills completely depleted, but if the sect loses to the Zhou Medical Hall, won't they be in dire straits?

Therefore, Demonic Emperor, our Demonic Sect must intervene this time. We should acquire as many shares of the Zhou Medical Hall as possible. Once Zhou Medical Hall Vast Heaven Sect, it will take off. How could we possibly lose this round?

Upon Yan Shoujing's inside information, Demonic Emperor Wu Xingyun nodded in approval.

Old Yan... well done... as expected, as long as you don't take action, our Demonic Sect is safe.

Let Chu Xinghe bring this upon himself, and you'll be responsible for picking up the scraps. Our Demonic Sect's rise to power is just around the corner!

Wu Xingyun was not idle either. He launched various methods to frantically acquire shares of the Zhou Medical Hall. Under various coercion and inducement, the Demonic Sect has become the largest behind-the-scenes shareholder of the Zhou Medical Hall in a short period of time. Although the Demonic Sect has suffered huge losses, as long as Zhou Medical Hall wins this wave, it will take off from the spot!

Yan Shoujing secretly watched Chu Xinghe, who was at a loss for what to do, with a look of excitement on his face.

This is in the bag!

At the Medicine King Palace, Chu Xinghe was surrounded by a group of his fellow disciples.

"Junior Brother Xinghe, don't worry, I'll fight you to the death this time. We can crush that little Zhou Medical Hall, can't we?"

"That's right, Senior Brother Xinghe! I, Mu Bai, and all the alchemists in the entire Muyue Kingdom will do everything in our power to help Senior Brother Xinghe!"

"Junior Brother Xinghe, we will not compromise this time!"

The fellow disciples chatted amongst themselves, and Chu Xinghe was also moved to tears.

Dear fellow disciples, although I myself don't know how I'm going to win this round, I'm telling you all by my own name that I really didn't want to lose this round!

As the saying goes, there are losses and gains; when it comes down to it, I, Chu Xinghe, can still act like a decent human being.

The problem is, I really don't know how we can avoid losing this round... After assuring my fellow disciples that we would definitely win this round, Chu Xinghe walked out of the Medicine King Palace with a blank expression.

In fact, he had already calculated that even if all his fellow disciples joined in, they could only barely hold on. But could they possibly spend their entire lives refining low-grade pills and fighting those scumbags from the Zhou Medical Hall?

We're at a natural disadvantage in terms of numbers... so once our inventory is depleted, we seem to have no chance of winning.

Just as Chu Xinghe was looking completely bewildered, Yan Shoujing appeared.

"Disciple Chu Xinghe greets the Vice Sect Master."

"Xinghe! Don't be discouraged. My Vast Heaven Sect is a vast and powerful force. What are these losses to us? So rest assured, keep fighting... cough cough... keep going! If the losses are too great and cause dissatisfaction within the sect, I'll be the first to stand up for you!"

The vice sect leader's words brought tears to Chu Xinghe's eyes.

Although the Vice Sect Master hasn't been back in the sect for long, and although he was previously suspected of being a spy, this... it sounds even more like he's a spy... So, Vice Sect Master, why did you seem so excited about the sect suffering a loss like that...? I used to have that expression all the time...

But you've really wronged me this time. The reason I wasted sect resources wasn't because of myself. I was genuinely angry on behalf of the sect. How dare that little Zhou Medical Hall challenge us? How could I not break their arm if I didn't betray the sect's trust?

I, Chu Xinghe, have always been fair to the sect, sometimes I've suffered losses, sometimes I haven't. Whether the sect suffers losses depends on the situation, but this time I absolutely cannot agree to it!

Thanks to Vice Sect Master Yan Shoujing for his support. Chu Xinghe has been racking his brains in the sect. Luck, luck, please begin your performance...

In the Central Province... Fengdu Grand Formation, Ma Liang sat upright in the center of the formation. Since his Senior Brother Xinghe left Central Province, Ma Liang initially felt very carefree.

But before long, Ma Liang found the Fengdu Grand Formation uninteresting.

Who am I, Ma Liang? I am the top general under Senior Brother Xinghe Future right-hand man, and the only candidate to become the next Grand Elder of the Vast Heaven Sect.

I am the one who will help Senior Brother Xinghe take off immediately.

But I seem to be unable to do anything in the Fengdu Grand Formation right now... If I can't help Senior Brother Xinghe, what's the point of my life, Ma Liang?

Just as Ma Liang was racking his brains trying to figure out how to help Senior Brother Xinghe...

News of the battle between Senior Brother Xinghe and the Zhou Medical Hall over elixirs reached the Central Province.

The discussions from all sides reached Ma Liang's ears immediately.

What the hell? You guys say Senior Brother Xinghe is bound to lose this time?

Are you saying my Vast Heaven Sect is going to suffer heavy losses?

How dare you!

Ma Liang was the first to jump out and verbally abuse those ignorant fools.

When has my Senior Brother Xinghe ever made a mistake?

My Senior Brother Xinghe will definitely make a killing this time!

Ma Liang almost immediately sent a message to the sect via a spirit bird, inquiring about how Senior Brother Xinghe should retaliate, and also asking Senior Brother Xinghe what he himself needed to do.

But the spirit bird flew back with only one sentence on its back. "You can't help me at all!"

Upon seeing these words, Ma Liang was stunned for a full three minutes, but Ma Liang quickly grasped the key point about Senior Brother Xinghe's spirit bird!

Ghost?

Senior Brother Xinghe had indeed prepared a backup plan!

Senior Brother Xinghe means to ask the ghost for help?

That's right! Although our Vast Heaven Sect can't produce as much medicine residue as the Zhou Medical Hall, we also can't get our fellow disciples from the Medicine King Palace to refine low-grade pills for extended periods of time.

But our Vast Heaven Sect still has the Ten Thousand Ghosts Grand Formation!

So, Senior Brother Xinghe means to have the ghosts in the Ten Thousand Ghosts Grand Formation refine the medicine?

That must be it! Ma Liang had no doubt whatsoever, and immediately purchased a large number of alchemy furnaces, beginning to experiment within the Ten Thousand Ghosts Grand Formation.

The results came back very quickly!

The vengeful spirits within the Ten Thousand Ghosts Grand Formation are now plump and strong, thanks to Senior Brother Xinghe's fervent resource support, and their cultivation levels are skyrocketing.

This was something no one had ever thought of before when it came to alchemy; Senior Brother Xinghe always wanted to be ahead of everyone else.

After Ma Liang had the vengeful spirits refine medicine, he discovered that if you let them seriously refine medicine, then sorry, they really couldn't do it very well.

However, if you only have the vengeful spirits refine the lowest quality pills, although their refining skills cannot compare with those of their fellow disciples from the Vast Heaven Sect, their high cultivation levels mean that the pills they refine are actually several levels stronger than those from the Zhou Medical Hall.

Upon receiving this result, Ma Liang burst into tears.

Senior Brother Xinghe, you still say you have no backup plan... You must have foreseen this long ago!

Ma Liang directly arranged for all the vengeful spirits to start learning alchemy from today. They don't need to be high-quality; as long as the alchemy they make is a few degrees better than that of the Zhou Medical Hall, it will be fine!

What? You're saying Zhou Medical Hall produces a lot of medicine residue?

We have even more ghosts who concoct medicines!

Besides, even if Zhou Medical Hall has a lot of scum, they still need to rest, right?

But our vengeful spirits don't need any rest. As long as they learn how to make medicine and have enough materials, our vengeful spirits can make medicine continuously for twelve hours a day.

What surprised Ma Liang even more was that the vengeful ghosts could actually improve their cultivation levels by refining medicine!

Senior Brother Xinghe is indeed unfathomable! This round, Senior Brother Xinghe, you can just lie down and relax, I, Ma Liang, will take care of carrying you to victory!

Senior Brother Xinghe, please don't worry, I will soon be able to teach all the vengeful spirits how to make medicine, so let the Zhou Medical Hall and the outside world run rampant for a while!

"I congratulate you on your fortune, hey... I congratulate you on your wonderful life, hey yo..." A cheerful song came from the Haotian Palace, but it wasn't Chu Xinghe singing, but Yan Shoujing.

Yan Shoujing had just finished a pleasant conversation with the Demonic Emperor.

During this time, Wu Xingyun said that our Demonic Sect has now taken control of most of the shares in the Zhou Medical Hall, and at the same time, he came to ask Yan Shoujing to confirm that Chu Xinghe had no backup plan!

Yan Shoujing slammed his fist on the table and declared, "Your Demonic Emperor, please rest assured! I swear on Xiao Cui'er, Chu Xinghe is now completely Sparta!"

I look completely lost every day, like I've lost my bearings.

What kind of backup plan is this? We can't possibly lose this game!

The Demonic Emperor praised himself for a full minute—yes, this time it was genuine praise, without a single mention of his ancestors.

So much so that Yan Shoujing a good mood, couldn't help but sing this song that Chu Xinghe often sang.

This time, our Demonic Sect is definitely on a roll to wish everyone a prosperous year!

Yan Shoujing had already thought it through. He knew that Vast Heaven Sect was about to collapse. If they lost to the Zhou Medical Hall, how would Vast Heaven Sect save face?

Where is Chu Xinghe's dignity?

Everyone says Chu Xinghe are wildly imaginative, what a load of rubbish!

This time, Yan Shoujing is the real mastermind!

I, Yan Shoujing, had already foreseen everything.

What? You're saying the Vast Heaven Sect might attack the Zhou Medical Hall? You're kidding! I, Yan Shoujing, am not just a figurehead as the Vice Sect Master.

If a sect is going to take action, shouldn't it at least hold a meeting first? I strongly oppose this!

After our Vast Heaven Sect lost, we retaliated against them. Don't we have any shame left? Is this reasoning even reasonable?

I've even prepared a backup plan, how could I possibly lose!

Sure enough, in the following days, everything proceeded according to Yan Shoujing's perfect rhythm.

The Medicine King Palace's stock of low-grade pills has been exhausted, and the Grand Elder has personally ordered all disciples of the Medicine King Palace to refine low-grade pills.

For the first few days, they did withstand the pressure, but as Zhou Medical Hall started its crazy slag-refining mode, coupled with the forces behind the Zhou Medical Hall making successive moves to frantically buy up Vast Heaven Sect's pills, Vast Heaven Sect's consumption increased more and more, and it looked like it was about to collapse.

At the Medicine King Palace, the Grand Elder found Chu Xinghe.

"Xinghe, it's time to use your backup plan!"

Although the Grand Elder was reluctant to admit it, continuing like this would not only be extremely taxing, but more importantly, it would prevent the disciples from cultivating in peace.

The Grand Elder felt it was time to bring out Xinghe's backup plan.

Chu Xinghe looked completely bewildered. "Damn it, I really didn't have a backup plan this time!"

But looking at the Misfortune Compass, Chu Xinghe realized something was wrong! Logically, after losing like this, the Misfortune Compass should be spinning wildly, right?

But why is the Misfortune Compass not responding at all?

Something must have gone wrong somewhere!

So please calm down, Elder. Although I have no idea what my backup plan is, please rest assured, I will definitely take action!
