Within Jia Ma Imperial City
Before Taihe Palace
The scene was extraordinarily strange for a moment. Jia Xing Tian looked at Liu Xi with a complicated expression, while Mitter Teng Shan and the others stared at Liu Xi with eyes red with envy.
A single Dou Ling Pill raised him by two stars. The pills Master Liu refined with Heavenly Flames truly are extraordinary! they all thought in unison. Jia Xing Tian was mostly marveling at Liu Xi's monstrous talent—whether in cultivation or alchemy, he was outstanding to an excessive degree. Mitter Teng Shan and the other three were Dou Wangs themselves, so they became incomparably eager for the Dou Ling Pills Liu Xi had refined!
Seeing how agitated they were, Liu Xi calmly said, "There is no need for such surprise. I merely had a solid foundation from my previous accumulation, which allowed me to break through in one go!"
Could he tell others about the Earth Fire Lotus Seed? Of course not. He did not even have enough for himself. If he told anyone else, it would only invite trouble. Saying he had accumulated enough strength was the best way to gloss it over!
"Master Liu, I wonder..." Mu Chen, who lacked restraint and could not keep things to himself, immediately wanted to buy a Dou Ling Pill from Liu Xi.
Jia Xing Tian shot him a stern look, and Mu Chen could only shut his mouth. This was a welcoming banquet hosted by the Jia Ma Imperial Family, not a trade fair. They had to maintain order in front of Liu Xi lest they be looked down upon. Then, smiling, Jia Xing Tian said, "My friend, guests from all walks of life are already seated inside, waiting only for you to begin the banquet. Please come in!
