Shut Down on Opening Day

The name "Crystal of Xinghe" was finalized during the conversation between Mu Bai and the Grand Elder.

Meanwhile, Chu Xinghe, whose name was used to name him, was currently teary-eyed and adorable...

Well... actually... I don't think it's necessary at all...

Mu Bai, your Senior Brother Xinghe has already had a hard time today. There's absolutely no need for you to follow Ouyang Ming's example and carry out another legendary desecration of his corpse.

Are you praising Senior Brother Xinghe?

Are you trying to make your Senior Brother Xinghe forever shamed and humiliated?

I came to the herb field today just to set it on fire... I never even thought about Crystal of Xinghe.

What are you doing...?

Chu Xinghe suggested that they name it after the Grand Elder.

However, the Grand Elder refused on the spot. After all, he had already named the Evil Repeller Pill last time, so how could he possibly do it again this time?

So in the end, the Grand Elder made the decision to name it Crystal of Xinghe, so that everyone who mentions this item will think of the Xinghe!

At the same time, the Grand Elder also instructed Mu Bai that Mu Muyue Kingdom must cultivate all spiritual herbs below the Third Rank in the shortest possible time. This time, our Vast Heaven Sect will shake the entire world of alchemy with its own strength!

Mu Bai assured the Elder that he would definitely complete the mission.

On Sima Bian's side, the Grand Elder also assigned a task: to sell off all the low-grade pills in stock as quickly as possible.

Otherwise, once the Crystal of Xinghe appears, all existing low-grade pills will likely become useless.

After all, the terrifying production volume and incredibly low cost of Crystal of Xinghe will inevitably have a huge impact on the low-grade pill market worldwide.

Sima Bian didn't hesitate either. Recently, someone had been contacting him repeatedly saying they wanted to buy a large quantity of pills. Previously, because the Northern Branch hadn't been able to replenish its pills, Sima Bian had no more hesitation.

We immediately contacted the guy who was shouting about buying up large quantities of low-grade pills and sold all the low-grade pills currently in the Northern Branch to him.

As cartloads of elixirs were hauled away from the Northern Branch, Sima Bian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Xiaoguang was a former manager of the Zhou Medical Hall who was working in the shadows.

The Zhou Medical Hall collapsed, and the Zhou Lineage was torn apart, but Zhou Xiaoguang did not give up. Zhou Xiaoguang is a person with dreams.

He firmly believed that Heaven could not always be on the side of the Vast Heaven Sect, Zhou Medical Hall would definitely have a chance to rise again.

Zhou Xiaoguang chose to join the Demonic Sect, hoping to use Demonic Sect help to make a comeback.

Zhou Xiaoguang could only sigh that heaven rewards those who persevere; he, Zhou Xiaoguang, had finally gotten his chance.

Just a few days ago, the Demonic Emperor personally delivered the news that the Vast Heaven Sect Fengdu Grand Formation could no longer continue refining medicine.

Upon hearing this news, Zhou Xiaoguang burst into tears.

Our Zhou Medical Hall has finally got its chance to turn things around!

Without the Fengdu Grand Formation for refining elixirs, what is the Vast Heaven Sect anyway?

What makes your Vast Heaven Sect compare to the dregs of my Zhou Medical Hall's medicine refining?

Zhou Xiaoguang mobilized all the remaining personnel at the Zhou Medical Hall and found the scum who had previously been refining medicine there.

After Zhou Xiaoguang persuaded them with both emotion and reason, the scattered refining dregs were gathered together again by Zhou Xiaoguang.

In recent days, Zhou Xiaoguang has used the resources of the Demonic Sect to refine countless low-grade pills. Although they are nothing compared to the pills of the Vast Heaven Sect, now that the Vast Heaven Sect no longer has the Fengdu Grand Formation, what qualifications does the Vast Heaven Sect have to compete with my Zhou Medical Hall?

Zhou Xiaoguang had been plotting for many days, determined to deliver a crushing blow to the Vast Heaven Sect!

Acquiring the pills from the Vast Heaven Sect was one part of this process.

As long as I buy up all the pills from your Vast Heaven Sect, leaving them with no pills to sell, then when my Vast Heaven Sect Zhou Medical Hall reopens, even if my pills are terrible, the Rogue Cultivators will have no choice but to buy from me.

For the first few days, Zhou Xiaoguang kept having people contact Sima Bian. Just as Zhou Xiaoguang had guessed, Sima Bian made excuses and avoided talking about his need to buy a large quantity of pills.

As astute as Zhou Xiaoguang was, he naturally knew that this was Sima Bian's delaying tactic.

But can you, Sima Bian, stall for time, or can you stall forever?

The news that the Fengdu Grand Formation could not be used for alchemy was also spread by Zhou Xiaoguang. After receiving the news, many people went to the Northern Branch to buy large quantities of pills. Through Zhou Xiaoguang's investigation, he could clearly see the worried look on the faces of the people in the Northern Branch.

Zhou Xiaoguang speculated that the Northern Branch's stockpile of elixirs was probably running low.

When Zhou Xiaoguang heard that Sima Bian had suddenly agreed to sell a large quantity to him, he sneered.

Hmph! The Vast Heaven Sect is using a feigned retreat tactic to lure us in.

Did they intend to mislead me into believing the news was false and that the Vast Heaven Sect had a new source of elixirs?

You all underestimate me, Zhou Xiaoguang! The Demonic Emperor has already told me that the information is absolutely accurate.

Therefore, Sima Bian's actions are nothing more than drinking poison to quench thirst!

If you, Sima Bian, dare to sell, I, Zhou Xiaoguang, dare to buy.

Without hesitation, Zhou Xiaoguang swallowed all the remaining pills in the Northern Branch.

When Zhou Xiaoguang saw the "Closed" sign hanging up at the Northern Branch, he burst out laughing.

As expected... this time I, Zhou Xiaoguang, made the right bet. The Vast Heaven Sect really has run out of pills!

The Northern Branch's elixirs are completely sold out! The day of our Zhou Lineage's rise has arrived.

Zhou Xiaoguang told Demonic Emperor Wu Xingyun his entire plan for how to make Zhou Medical Hall rise again. After listening, the Demonic Emperor greatly praised his abilities.

Zhou Xiaoguang knew that his good days were coming, and that his Zhou Medical Hall was finally about to rise again!

This is a blessing for the Zhou Clan!

Those traitors who betrayed the Zhou Clan before, just you wait! The day the Zhou Clan rises again will be the day you all kneel before me, wagging your tails and begging for mercy!

Looking at the mountain of low-grade pills in the warehouse, Zhou Xiaoguang felt as if he owned the whole world.

These elixirs are the foundation for the resurgence of the Zhou Medical Hall!

Thanks to Zhou Xiaoguang's tireless efforts, Zhou Medical Hall has finally reopened!

Looking at the newly renovated Zhou Medical Hall, Zhou Xiaoguang knew that it wouldn't be long before Zhou Xiaoguang name would be remembered by the whole world. Everyone who mentioned Zhou Xiaoguang would remember that he was the man who made Zhou Medical Hall rise again!

I, Zhou Xiaoguang, am a man who rose from behind the scenes to the forefront!

Just as Zhou Xiaoguang was pondering Future to face the adulation of the world, a message was released from the Vast Heaven Sect!

When Zhou Xiaoguang saw this message, his first reaction was, "Are you kidding me?"

Can Third Rank be grown in the ground?

Do you want to hear if you're even speaking human language?

Although I, Zhou Xiaoguang, am not a top-tier alchemist, I am still an alchemist... To think that I could just grow pills directly is utterly absurd, you know?

Zhou Xiaoguang wasn't the only one who thought this way; when news of the Crystal of Xinghe was released, the reactions from all sides were similar to Zhou Xiaoguang's.

Elixirs can grow in the ground now? How much did the people from your Vast Heaven Sect drink to dare release such information?

However, as more people investigated, this outrageous news, which made people question their very existence, was confirmed.

Because the Vast Heaven Sect's approach was very simple and brutal: they directly packaged Crystal of Xinghe with various effects and sent them to various forces around the world.

The various factions that obtained the Crystal of Xinghe were stunned after testing Crystal of Xinghe effects.

In Martial Emperor City, Zheng Yu looked at the Crystal of Xinghe in front of him, which was labeled with the effects of the Blood Recovery Pill. He immediately cut his arm, then took a piece from the Crystal of Xinghe and swallowed it.

Subsequently, the Crystal of Xinghe took effect, and a surge of Spirit Power instantly helped Zheng Yu stop the bleeding and recover...

Watching the wound slowly heal, Zheng Yu had only one thought in her mind... Is this even possible for a human to do?

Subsequently, Zheng Yu finally learned through various sources how the Crystal of Xinghe was born.

The Muyue Kingdom! It's the Muyue Kingdom again!

Under the guidance of Senior Brother Xinghe, the Muyue Kingdom, with their terrifying talent, was able to directly cultivate all pills below the Third Rank!

The Vast Heaven Sect didn't even hide how they cultivated the plants; they revealed it directly!

It's not that the Vast Heaven Sect is too arrogant, it's just that only the Vast Heaven Sect has disciples from the Muyue Kingdom... Even if others get the planting method, you still have no chance of successfully planting it!

Looking at the various records, Zheng Yu had only one thought: find that dog that ate the chopped-up dog that was in charge... and chop it up to feed the next dog!

The emergence of the Crystal of Xinghe caused a sensation throughout the entire Blazing Sun Continent.

Elixirs of Third Rank or lower can be directly planted... and the yield has reached an explosive level.

A while ago, when it was heard that the Fengdu Grand Formation could no longer produce pills, many forces were secretly preparing to seize the low-grade pill market once the Vast Heaven Sect had almost exhausted its supply.

After all, selling low-grade pills is really profitable.

But now, those forces that had made preparations in advance are crying their eyes out.

He'd gone through all that trouble—preparing raw materials, hiring alchemists—hoping to make a killing on the pills he'd produced. But now, forget about making a profit; he'd lost everything he'd invested!

Because all the Vast Heaven Sect is a piece of land, and as long as the disciples of the Muyue Kingdom are still around, they can make the pills grow directly from the ground. This costs almost nothing!

How can ordinary elixirs compare to those of others?

What's even more terrifying is that the effects of the Crystal of Xinghe are almost no worse than those of normal pills. With virtually zero cost and massive production, what pill can possibly compete with it?

All parties were stunned by the sudden appearance of the Crystal of Xinghe.

So much so that everyone overlooked the fact that a shop called Zhou Medical Hall closed on its opening day...

A man named Zhou Xiaoguang was just talking about creating new glories when he was turned to ashes by a mysterious Demonic Sect leader who came from the void.

According to those present at the time, the mysterious Demonic Sect figure looked very similar to Wu Xingyun, but because his face was so distorted at the time, it was impossible to determine whether it was Wu Xingyun himself.

However, compared to its impact on various forces, the impact of the Crystal of Xinghe on the alchemy industry is truly enormous.

The world of alchemy was turned upside down overnight; the entire landscape was shattered by the Crystal of Xinghe...

The alchemists exclaimed in disbelief, "Is Chu Xinghe going to break the rules of the alchemy world all by himself?"
