What the Hell Was a Reverse Breakthrough?

The messages on the spirit bird left Chu Xinghe completely bewildered.

What the heck?

Has Ma Liang made a move?

How did Ma Liang manage to do this? He even interfered with alchemy!

A few days ago, Ma Liang seemed to have sent me a letter, asking what he should do...

But Chu Xinghe, speaking with his real name, said, "Ma Liang... I'm already grateful that you're staying in Central Province, but you're helping me... what can you possibly do to me?!"

Later, because of the Zhou Medical Hall incident, I completely ignored this matter.

But now... Ma Liang has gone berserk and started killing without warning?

The spirit bird recorded everything Ma Liang had done in detail. Ma Liang said, "Senior Brother Xinghe personally instructed me to let the ghosts of the Fengdu Grand Formation refine medicine!"

Listen to this... is this even human language?

Having a ghost concoct medicine... I really didn't expect this bizarre idea... Ma Liang... it has to be you...

But no matter how bizarre Ma Liang's idea was, Ma Liang really succeeded; ghosts could actually concoct medicine.

To be honest, Chu Xinghe was completely dumbfounded after hearing this.

When it comes to playing with ghosts, very few people in the righteous path are truly proficient; that's a technique of the Demonic Sects...

But the Demonic Sect only has two tricks for playing with ghosts: one is to use the evil spirits to set up formations to harm people, and the other is Tantai Jing's special hobby.

Besides these two things, who would have thought they could also concoct medicine?

But as it turns out, there's nothing Ma Liang wouldn't dare to do, only things you can't imagine. The Ten Thousand Ghosts Grand Formation has now directly transformed into the Ten Thousand Ghosts Medicine Refining Formation?

All those vengeful ghosts inside, clinking and whirring as they concoct medicine—doesn't that sound utterly indecent?

But even though it was unconventional, it actually worked.

Although the quality of the medicine concocted by the vengeful ghosts certainly cannot compare to that of the disciples of the Medicine King Palace.

But the vengeful ghost has the advantage of not needing to rest at all, and its cultivation level has been almost exploded by Chu Xinghe.

With such high cultivation, refining medicine is a piece of cake.

Besides, it's not even as good as the Medicine King Palace, let alone the Zhou Medical Hall?

Ma Liang has already tested it; our Wan Gui brand elixir is far superior in quality to the Zhou Medical Hall's.

And the crucial point is that the vengeful spirits require no human intervention. Your Zhou Medical Hall's medicine residue is cheap, right?... Your labor costs are low, right?

Then I'll offer a no-labor-fee arrangement. How would you respond?

In a very short time, Ma Liang arranged all the vengeful ghosts in the entire Ten Thousand Ghosts Grand Formation clearly and without much learning required. He simply had the vengeful ghosts refine low-grade pills using a fixed pattern, without even needing to learn how to identify the ingredients. After that, it was time for mass production.

In a short period of time, the Ten Thousand Ghosts Grand Formation produced countless Myriad Ghosts Brand Pills.

Subsequently, Ma Liang instructed the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce to continuously deliver all the pills to Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce in various locations within a short period of time.

All low-grade pills from the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce are now available!

Moreover, the vengeful spirits within the Fengdu Grand Formation continued refining medicine without stopping, and the output was so great that even Chu Xinghe was terrified.

Faced with the Vast Heaven Sect's frantic restocking, the forces that had been targeting the Vast Heaven Sect also made their move.

But this time, they were stunned as soon as they made a move.

No matter how aggressively they bought up the pills, the Vast Heaven Sect kept restocking like crazy, as if they were free, and they could never sell them all.

Ma Liang went completely berserk this time.

The sect leaders all looked at Chu Xinghe with smiles on their faces.

As expected, Xinghe's backup plan is terrifyingly powerful!

We've almost forgotten about Ma Liang these days, but Xinghe, you actually came up with the idea of using a ghost to concoct medicine.

This time, Chu Xinghe's face was no longer calm. Lucky General Ma! This time, you really are Lucky General Ma.

Senior Brother Xinghe was Senior Brother Xinghe to send you away before! From today onwards, you will be Senior Brother Xinghe's right-hand man.

"Sorry everyone... I'm late..." Vice Sect Master Yan Shoujing walked in from outside with a calm expression.

But as soon as Yan Shoujing entered, he noticed something was off. What did it mean that everyone had such smiling faces?

These past few days, because of the fierce battle with the Zhou Medical Hall, it seems like everyone except myself isn't very happy.

But why is everyone so happy now?

Yan Shoujing quickly found out why...

When Yan Shoujing saw the message on the spirit bird, he was completely stunned.

What the heck? Ma Liang? Who is this Ma Liang? Can anyone explain?

Just a few days ago, Yan Shoujing exclaimed, "We have victory in our grasp this time. The Vast Heaven Sect has no way to turn the tide!"

The Vast Heaven Sect has no way to turn the tide, but our Demonic Sect does... Is the Fengdu Grand Formation really that powerful?

Last time you helped the righteous path select disciples, that was one thing, but now you're letting ghosts refine medicine? What the hell? Are you guys just going to fly to the heavens?

And Xinghe, how could you face me, the Vice Sect Master? A few days ago I asked you if you had any backup plans, and you firmly said you had none. What did that mean?

How do you explain Ma Liang's story now?

Seeing Yan Shoujing's bewildered expression, Gu Mingchao hugged his senior brother with a joyful look and said, "Look, my senior brother is so happy that he's crying tears of joy because of the sect's great victory."

God bless Vast Heaven!

No one knows who started reading it, but suddenly the entire Haotian Grand Hall was filled with shouts of "May Heaven bless Vast Heaven!"

Yan Shoujing gritted his teeth and kept shouting "Heaven bless Vast Heaven!" but as he shouted, Yan Shoujing coughed up blood... This heaven is truly inhuman... How can you bless Vast Heaven like this? How can you face our Demonic Sect?

The Grand Elder personally gave a final summary of the matter.

Needless to say, Zhou Medical Hall is completely finished this time.

Previously, due to the cost of pills, the Vast Heaven Sect was losing money by selling them at low prices. The Zhou Medical Hall could have waited until the Vast Heaven Sect had used up most of their pills before continuing to cause trouble.

But now, they have absolutely no right to cause trouble.

Regarding cost? Ma Liang used a full hundred words on the spirit bird to explain how low the cost of the elixir was.

Aside from raw materials, we don't need to consume anything else.

We can even have Mu Bai and the others cultivate the lowest grade of raw materials. Given the ability of those animals to cultivate medicinal herbs, our Vast Heaven Sect doesn't need to buy materials from outside; we can be self-sufficient.

Then the vengeful ghost refined the elixir. Apart from the transportation cost, we really didn't have any other costs.

Even if we sell at the previous lowest price, we still have a 50% profit margin. Zhou Medical Hall's quality is inferior to ours, its price is inferior to ours, and even its production volume is inferior to ours. Tell me, how can we possibly lose this round!

The Grand Elder personally requested an award for Ma Liang. Of course, the Grand Elder also acknowledged that the credit for this achievement was indeed due to Xinghe, but Xinghe was not someone who cared much about rewards, so all the rewards went to Ma Liang!

Ma Liang is promoted to a personal disciple! Moreover, he will be listed under the Vice Sect Master as a personal disciple, as a sign of encouragement to Ma Liang.

The Grand Elder personally asked Yan Shoujing, who was crying tears of joy, Yan Shoujing nodded blankly.

The entire Haotian Grand Hall was filled with laughter and joy, except for the Vice Sect Master Yan Shoujing.

The Wan Gui brand elixirs swept across the land, and in just a few days, Zhou Medical Hall was in an uproar.

When they were engaged in a price war with the Vast Heaven Sect, Zhou Medical Hall remained completely calm, knowing that Vast Heaven Sect was simply using its inventory to fight back, which was a losing proposition for them.

Once the Vast Heaven Sect has suffered significant losses, Vast Heaven Sect will naturally stop.

At that point Zhou Medical Hall will be able to take off immediately.

But now it's taking off... it was blown away by a bomb.

The Vast Heaven Sect's elixirs are supplied without limit, and no matter how low the price is at the Zhou Medical Hall, the Vast Heaven Sect will keep up closely. The goal is to crush the Zhou Medical Hall to the ground and never give up.

Ma Liang's Wan Gui brand pills were being released in a frenzy. Initially, the forces behind the Zhou Medical Hall also made their move, frantically buying up the pills in an attempt to compete.

But what does it mean that the more they fought, the more pills the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce seemed to have?

Wu Xingyun was nearly driven mad by the sight of the pile of low-grade pills.

The Demonic Sects certainly need so many low-grade pills, but surely the demand couldn't be this large?

Now that we have so many elixirs, what should we do?

Wu Xingyun had already given a warm greeting to Yan Shoujing's ancestors for eight generations.

Did I send you Yan Shoujing, to infiltrate the Vast Heaven Sect to sabotage my Demonic Sect?

You joined the Vast Heaven Sect with the promise to destroy it?

Now you're about to destroy the Demonic Sect!

You said destroying sects would be a piece of cake? Now you're playing games with me?

Wu Xingyun knew that Zhou Medical Hall was completely finished. At this moment, he wanted to sell his shares in the Zhou Medical Hall, but... no one was stupid, and there was no way he could sell them now.

These days, if you mention Zhou Medical Hall, anyone with a modicum of sense will run away faster than the next person.

Therefore, the Demonic Sect suffered a complete and utter loss in this round.

Wu Xingyun was too lazy to contact Yan Shoujing to offer his ancestral greetings. Wu Xingyun wanted now was peace and quiet... But just as he thought of peace and quiet... tears welled up in Wu Xingyun's eyes.

So, it all comes down to Tantai Jing... Don't you even know how powerful your Fengdu Grand Formation is?

So you two, Yan Shoujing and I, have started using combo attacks, huh?

However, Wu Xingyun did not summon Tantai Jing and give him a good scolding, because Tantai Jing was recently doing something very important to the Demonic Sect.

If this succeeds, although the Demonic Sect will suffer heavy losses, Demonic Sect will definitely still have a chance to take off!

So stay calm!

Whether Wu Xingyun can keep Chu Xinghe calm is unknown, but Chu Xinghe is completely numb right now.

Um... why did my Misfortune Compass suddenly start spinning?

What's even stranger is that the Misfortune Compass is spinning backwards—what the hell does that mean?

Soon, Chu Xinghe, who had been ecstatic about his big win, was dumbfounded.

Because with the reversal of the Misfortune Compass, your cultivation level was directly reduced—can you believe it?

Damn it... My cultivation, which had finally reached the mid-stage of the Sixth Rank, was plummeting, only stopping when I was about to enter the Sixth Rank.

What the heck is this reverse breakthrough?

What exactly does this mean? I merely helped the sect, isn't it a bit too outrageous for you to turn this around like this?

However, after much thought, Chu Xinghe gritted his teeth and stamped his foot. So what if his cultivation level was reduced? It didn't matter! Our Vast Heaven Sect had abundant resources. I'll just take some more medicine, and I'll be able to catch up in time.

The Misfortune Compass kept spinning silently, even though cultivation points were no longer being deducted.

But soon, something happened that sent chills down Chu Xinghe's spine...
