During the few days that Jiang Donghua was concentrating on collecting elixirs at the alchemy platform behind the Xiao Family, the speculation and discussion about the Xiao Family's unusual behavior had reached its peak.
Xiao Family's news of the almost crazy acquisition of top-quality medicinal materials without any expense has spread to several surrounding cities.
Although the spies sent by the major forces were unable to penetrate deep into the core area of the Xiao Family, they also found some rumors.
Xiao Family seems to be making preparations for refining elixirs for a mysterious big shot. There are even rumors that Xiao Family internal rumors are that a Eighth-grade Alchemist Grandmaster is coming!
As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused an uproar in the high-level circles of the major forces, but what followed was almost one-sided ridicule and doubt.
"Eighth-grade Alchemist Grandmaster? Hahaha! Xiao Zhen Did that old guy shut up his brain in seclusion? How dare you brag like this?"
"I think they spent too much money on purchasing medicinal materials, and they want to find a reason to scare us so they can save some face, right?"
"That's right! How noble is Master Eighth-Tier? He would come to a remote place like ours? And he would go to the Xiao Family to make alchemy? What a big joke!"
"Let me see, it's probably because that old monster Qiu failed in refining the medicine again. Xiao Family was afraid of being embarrassed, so he made up such a ridiculous excuse!"
Almost no one believes that Xiao Family can really invite Eighth-grade Alchemist Grandmaster.
After all, those existences are like legendary characters, out of reach for these isolated forces.
Everyone tends to believe that this is a method used by the Xiao Family to cover up some kind of failure or enhance its own prestige.
However, just when the doubts and ridicules were at their peak, a change occurred!
On this day, the originally clear sky suddenly began to gather lead-black dark clouds without warning!
These dark clouds are not ordinary rain clouds. They began to condense from the area above the back mountain area of the Xiao Family, and they carried a heavy and heart-stopping pressure!
Among the clouds, there was a faint silver snake-like electric light flashing through and through, making a low thunder!
"Dan Lei! It's Dan Lei!"
Xiao Family In the base at the base of the mountain, Xiao Zhen was the first to sense the change in the energy of heaven and earth, and his face instantly became extremely solemn!
The figure flashed and appeared in the sky near the alchemy platform in the back mountain.
Immediately afterwards, Dou Zong Elder, who was left behind by the Xiao Family, also sensed this powerful energy fluctuation, and broke out one after another and came to Xiao Zhen.
"Ancestor! The power of this elixir is so terrifying! I'm afraid it was at least the elixir triggered by Mid-grade Seventh-rank Pill!"
An elder looked at the increasingly thick thunderclouds in the sky, feeling the power of heaven and earth that seemed to destroy everything, and his voice was trembling.
Xiao Zhen stared at the center of the thundercloud and said in a deep voice.
"That's right! This elixir is very powerful. I'm afraid it's difficult for me to completely resist it alone. When the elixir falls later, I and a few others will need to work together to set up defenses to ensure that Jiang Xiaoyou's alchemy is not interfered with!"
"Yes! Ancestor!"
Several elders responded in unison, and Dou Qi began to secretly circulate in their bodies, preparing to receive the baptism of Dan Lei.
At this moment, those surrounding forces who were still laughing at the Xiao Family were also alarmed by this sudden vision of heaven and earth!
The leaders or elders of each force flew into the air, looking at the obviously abnormal thunderclouds containing destructive energy in the direction of the mountain behind the Xiao Family, their faces full of shock and disbelief!
"Dan Lei! It's really Dan Lei! Look at this power, which is beyond the power of ordinary pills!"
"Seventh-grade elixir! Xiao Family is really refining seventh-grade elixir?!"
"Is the news released by the Xiao Family true? Is there really a master refining alchemy in the Xiao Family?"
"But Eighth-Tier is too exaggerated, but the strength of this elixir cannot be refined by Elder Qiu, right?"
"Quick! Send more manpower immediately, and find out what happened inside the Xiao Family at all costs!"
For a moment, all the sarcastic voices suddenly stopped, replaced by deep suspicion, fear, and a trace of uneasiness!
If Xiao Family really gets acquainted with an alchemy master who can refine seventh-grade elixirs or above, then the pattern of surrounding forces may really undergo earth-shaking changes!
Countless eyes, either frightened, greedy, or complicated, were all focused on the thundercloud in the back mountain of the Xiao Family that was constantly gathering destructive power.
Above the sky, lead-black dark clouds were piled up layer by layer like heavy lead blocks, blocking out the sky and the sun, shrouding the entire Xiao Family back mountain in oppressive gloom.
Deep in the clouds, the silver electric light was like a wildly dancing python, moving crazily and making a deafening roar. Destructive energy was constantly brewing and compressed in it!
"Boom--!"
Finally, the first alchemy thunder, like a silver giant blade slashed from the sky, tore through the sky, with a judgment-like majesty and dazzling light, and struck hard towards the medicine cauldron on the alchemy table below!
"Form up! Block it!"
Xiao Zhen shouted sharply.
Xiao Family and Dou Zong Elder, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately joined forces to activate Dou Qi, and a thick energy mask instantly condensed over the alchemy table!
"Bang--!"
The silver thunder struck hard on the light shield, making an earth-shattering noise!
The mask trembled violently, with violent ripples appearing on the surface. The two elders' faces turned pale, and their bodies were shaken. They were actually shaken back half a step by the huge impact!
"What a hard Dan Lei!"
One of the elders could not help but exclaim, his face full of shock.
The power of the first pill thunder alone was so astonishing that it almost required both of them to use all their strength to barely catch it!
However, the thunderclouds in the sky did not give them a chance to breathe.
As soon as the first thunder dissipated, the second and third, thicker and more violent silver thunder followed, like two angry silver dragons, roaring and swooping down!
"Boom! Boom!"
Two thunderbolts struck down hard in succession!
The energy mask could no longer support it, and it let out an overwhelmed cry and shattered!
The two Xiao Family elders felt as if they had been hit hard. A mouthful of blood spurted out from their mouths, and they flew backwards in a panic. It was obvious that they were unable to fight anymore!
The power of Dan Lei is so terrifying!
Seeing that the fourth, more terrifying thunder has condensed and formed in the clouds, it is about to fall. Once it strikes the Chinese medicine cauldron, all previous efforts will be wasted!
"Hmph! Let me come and meet you Dan Lei!"
Xiao Family Ancestor Xiao Zhen, which had been suspended high in the sky with a deep breath, finally moved!
He took one step forward and was directly above the medicine cauldron.
Facing the power of heaven and earth that was enough to make ordinary Dou Zong change his expression, he looked calm, and his whole body suddenly erupted with dazzling golden light!
A thick, majestic, and unparalleled Gold Attribute Battle Qi, like a sleeping lion awakening, rises into the sky!
"Earth-tier Mid Grade Dou Technique-Indestructible Golden Armor!"
Xiao Zhen raised both palms together, and the powerful golden Dou Qi condensed into a huge, substantial golden shield in front of him. The runes on the shield flowed, exuding an indestructible aura!
"Boom--!"
The fourth Dan Lei, carrying more terrifying power than the previous three combined, struck hard on the golden shield!
Golden light and silver electricity intertwine crazily and annihilate!
The huge energy shock wave spread like ripples, shattering the surrounding rocks!
Xiao Zhen's body swayed slightly, but his steps were as steady as a rock. Although the golden shield's light dimmed a lot, it still firmly blocked this violent blow!
However, Dan Lei seemed to be enraged, and the fifth and sixth rays followed one after another, each one more fierce than the last, and they struck down like a gust of wind and rain!
Xiao Zhen looked solemn, exerting his Peak Dou Zong strength to the extreme, flying his palms, and blasted out condensed golden palm prints or shields one after another, striking together with the falling Dan Lei!
"Boom boom boom boom--!"
The deafening explosions continued continuously, and the entire back mountain platform seemed to be shaking!
After receiving a total of seven pill thunders, Xiao Zhen's breath was slightly disordered, and the blood in his body surged.
He looked up at the thunderclouds that were still rolling in the sky and seemed to have not exhausted their energy, and he felt a storm in his heart!
"The power of this Dan Lei is far beyond the ordinary Mid-grade Seventh-rank Pill! It is so continuous and the power increases layer by layer!"
Xiao Zhen's eyes were filled with incredible shock.
"I'm afraid this is the elixir that can only be activated by the legendary High-grade Seventh-rank Pill! This guy is actually refining High-grade Seventh-rank Pill?!"
When he thought that Jiang Donghua was so young, not only could he be called a monster in Dou Qi's cultivation, but he had also reached such an appalling height in the art of alchemy, Xiao Zhen only had one thought left in his mind.
"This kid's talent is simply extraordinary! No, it's incredible! Xiao Family This time, he really made the right bet!"
He took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in his heart, and his eyes became firmer.
No matter what, he must block this last Dan Lei!
This is not only to fulfill the promise to Jiang Donghua, but also for the huge opportunities in the future of the Xiao Family!
