Handover

Although the conclusion of the Strong Ranking Tournament brought silence to the square, the competition's highlights continued to be discussed and passed around among the students.

In particular, the chaotic battle between Lin Ming, Jin Feng, and Shao Qing is always a source of great excitement whenever it is discussed.

During the competition, many trainees were unaware of the danger posed by the glowing spot, finding it merely visually appealing. After the competition ended, those who knew of the perilous situation passed on the information, and now everyone knows what happened. Upon hearing the story, they were all horrified.

Of course, while they were shocked, the students also had to admire the strength of Lin Ming and his two companions. The attacks of the three Dou Ling were so powerful that even Dou Zong expert had to use Space Power to completely annihilate them.

Besides the competition, the Medicine Gang also reached its peak in the Inner Academy, surpassing all other forces in one fell swoop.

Previously, the Medicine Gang was a dominant force in the Inner Academy, but its strength lay in the unique properties of its elixirs.

Within the Inner Academy, the Medicine Gang was practically the only organization producing medicinal pills. As a result, anyone who wanted medicinal pills had no choice but to purchase them from the Medicine Gang.

If the Medicine Gang of the past relied on its monopoly on the sale of pills to keep people from provoking it, the current Medicine Gang, in addition to its monopoly, is also because it has two powerful figures from the Inner Academy in charge.

With Gang Leader ranked second on the Strong Ranking, and the number one ranked person on the Strong Ranking being a friend of their Gang Leader, the Medicine Gang's strength is unmatched by any other force.

While the discussion outside was in full swing, Lin Ming, who was the one talking the most, was stretching and getting out of bed.

Yesterday's match was spectacular, and the battle was incredibly exciting, but it was also incredibly exhausting. By the end, Lin Ming and his two companions had almost completely depleted their Dou Qi. As a result, after returning to the Medicine Gang, Lin Ming didn't care about anything else and just collapsed into bed.

Lin Ming slept until the sun was high in the sky. After waking up and feeling his Dou Qi fully restored, Lin Ming stretched, shook his neck, and got out of bed.

"Boss!"

Upon entering the lobby, a member of the Medicine Gang greeted me with a smile.

Lin Ming's achievement of ranking second on the Strong Ranking filled the members of the Medicine Gang pride. Therefore, they were even happier to see their leader now.

With a leader whose alchemy skills far surpass those of his peers, even exceeding those of the older generation, and whose combat power is now off the charts, no one would be unhappy.

After responding to the person, Lin Ming went to the Medicine Refinement Hall. Taking advantage of the few days of rest after the competition, Lin Ming came to the Medicine Refinement Hall to check on things and help explain any questions the other Alchemist might have.

Looking at the members of the Medicine Gang, each fulfilling their duties, Lin Ming nodded with satisfaction. This way, even if he left the academy, the Medicine Gang could still operate within the Inner Academy. As long as they didn't become too overtly aggressive, no other forces should dare to provoke Medicine Gang.

Of course, if there were a gang like the White Dragon Gang, who valued money over life, Lin Ming would have no choice but to rely on Medicine Gang get through it.

However, under the suppression of the Medicine Gang, the White Dragon Gang was reduced to only a few small leaders. In addition, Lin Ming decisively defeated Bai Wei, the leader of the White Dragon Gang, and then fought against Shao Qing and Jin Feng to seize the second place on the Strong List, which made the White Dragon Gang's situation even more difficult.

The White Dragon Gang is no longer accepting new members. Bai Wei and the other leading members are also graduating. After Bai Wei and the others leave, the White Dragon Gang will face disbandment within the Inner Academy.

Seeing the well-organized group of members, Lin Ming went upstairs with satisfaction.

Upon arriving at Wang Sheng's Pill Refinement Room and finding that Wang Sheng was not refining pills, Lin Ming knocked on the door and entered after Wang Sheng called out to him.

"Boss!" Wang Sheng greeted Lin Ming upon his arrival.

"I've come to talk to you about the Medicine Gang." Facing Wang Sheng, Lin Ming didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

Afterwards, Lin Ming sat opposite Wang Sheng and began to talk about the Medicine Gang. "It's been four years since I left home. After undergoing the Heart Flame Body Tempering in a couple of days, it's time for me to leave the Inner Academy and return to my family. You heard this during the competition a couple of days ago."

Wang Sheng nodded in response.

Then, Lin Ming said, "You've been in the Inner Academy for five years now, haven't you?"

"Yes! Five years have passed in the blink of an eye," Wang Sheng said with a sigh.

"While we're both still here, let's quickly confirm the next Gang Leader of the Medicine Gang! That way, if anything happens, we can still help out. Otherwise, it will be difficult to handle if problems arise after we're gone," Lin Ming explained his thoughts.

"Boss, do you have a suitable candidate?" Wang Sheng asked in response to Lin Ming's proposal for a new Gang Leader.

"As you know, I rarely have time to manage the Medicine Gang. So I'll have to trouble you to do this. However, one thing is certain: as the Gang Leader of the Medicine Gang, you must be capable of handling the responsibility, both in terms of alchemy skills and strength," Lin Ming said.

Without high-level alchemy skills and strength, if even those within the gang cannot be convinced, how can they be expected to intimidate others? This is why Lin Ming particularly emphasized this point.

"Alright! Then let's choose from these top-tier Third-Grade Alchemist," Wang Sheng immediately decided.

"Alright! Go and inform these people! A third-grade alchemist is still too low. Call them here, and I'll demonstrate alchemy for them on the spot. Whoever can break through to a fourth-grade alchemist will be the new leader of the Medicine Clan." Lin Ming nodded and said.

Upon hearing that Lin Ming wanted to refine pills, Wang Sheng was overjoyed.

It's quite rare to see Tier 5 Alchemist Pill Refining, and Lin Ming, who spends most of his time cultivating, rarely refines pills. Wang Sheng himself has gained a lot from observing Lin Ming Pill Refining. So now that he hears that Lin Ming is going to Pill Refining, Wang Sheng is extremely happy.

Before long, Wang Sheng led the three people back to his Alchemy Room.

"Boss!"

Upon hearing from Wang Sheng that Lin Ming was going to demonstrate how to Pill Refining for them, the group exclaimed with anticipation and excitement.

Seeing the group of people who had arrived, Lin Ming didn't waste any words. He took out his Medicinal Cauldron from his Storage Ring and began refining pills.

Over the past few days, the Medicinal Fragrance had been wafting from Vice Gang Leader Wang Sheng's Alchemy Room. Everyone in the Alchemy Room Alchemist, and they all understood what this faint fragrance meant.

However, with the leader, deputy Gang Leader, and several top-tier third-grade Alchemist already in the room, the faint fragrance emanating from the room was not surprising.

Three days later, at dusk, the doors of Wang Sheng's Alchemy Room, which had been closed for several days, finally opened. Lin Ming, who came out, had a look of relief on his face.
