Inner Growth Pill

"Brother Wu, you've come too!"

On the stage.

Meng Hai greeted everyone with a smile, as if the previous conflict never existed.

Wu Feng narrowed his eyes. "Today is Fangcheng's annual grand festival. As the head of the Wu Family, I must attend no matter how busy I am."

"But Brother Meng, I heard that Xu Town encountered river bandits a while ago, and your Meng Family's business suffered heavy losses."

"How is it now?"

"No need for Brother Wu to worry. It was just a loss of a few good men. It's been handled now, so it can't be called heavy losses." Meng Hai said with a fake smile.

"That's good then."

Wu Feng smiled slightly.

Soon.

The sun rose to its zenith.

The golden sunlight fell directly onto the altar by the riverbank.

The County Governor stood up, his face solemn, his clear voice, without any amplification, instantly spread throughout the area around the altar.

"Everyone, the auspicious day and time have arrived."

"Begin the ceremony!!"

The drums thundered.

In an instant, the River Sacrifice Festival was pushed to its climax.

The entire Fangcheng was boiling, and countless prayer lanterns floated on the river.

He pressed his hands down, and after his voice faded, he said solemnly, "It is by the River God's protection that we have abundant harvests. Today, we specially offer a prize for the First Incense."

"Whoever obtains the First Incense and makes a contribution to the River God will receive this prize!"

Everyone held their breath.

Their eyes widened, staring intently at the Jade Bottle in the County Governor's hand.

Under the sunlight, a flawless white Medicinal Pill fell into everyone's eyes.

"Inner Growth Pill."

The crowd erupted immediately.

"Inner Growth Pill, this time the reward is actually a medicinal pill."

"An Eighth Rank medicinal pill, after so many years, this is the first time an Eighth Rank medicinal pill has been awarded."

"What's gotten into them this year, the rewards are so generous?"

Everyone's enthusiasm was instantly ignited.

Those who hadn't signed up, upon seeing the rewards, were filled with regret.

Those who had signed up were all eager to try.

The reason for everyone's reaction was the immense temptation of the Inner Growth Pill.

As a healing medicinal pill, its effects went beyond regrowing limbs.

For Martial Artists, it was a life-saving item.

"Brother Meng, why is this year's reward the Inner Growth Pill? Is the County Governor that generous, to offer a medicinal pill of this grade as a reward?" Master Li asked in shock.

Meng Cao shook his head: "I don't know either. Logically, the reward shouldn't be a medicinal pill of this grade. In previous years, the highest value reward was only a Blood-Connecting Pill."

"That's right!"

Master Li nodded.

"Regardless, since the County Governor has offered the Inner Growth Pill as a reward, with everyone watching, he definitely won't regret it."

Meng Cao instructed: "When you go on stage later, you must seize the First Incense."

At this moment.

A young man named Li Si, who had been standing beside Meng Cao, cupped his fists and said: "Lord Meng, don't worry, I definitely won't disappoint you."

Ning Yuan, standing beside Master Li, also slowly spoke: "Master, Lord Meng, don't worry, no matter what, this reward will definitely be ours."

Meng Cao nodded and smiled: "I believe in you both. You are both Martial Artists with one foot in the Muscle Condensing Realm. In previous years, you would both be contenders for the First Incense."

"Even this year, I believe it will be no exception."

"When you two meet later, you must not fight to the death. Just stop when you've made your point."

"If either of you gets hurt, I will be very sad."

"Understood."

The two said in unison.

"With you two here, Lord Meng and I are very relieved."

Master Li chuckled, then his smile faded. "A reminder, when you encounter that kid, remember not to hold back."

"Kill him, and even the Wu family and the County Governor won't be able to say anything."

"You two go ahead and do it boldly. If anything happens, Lord Meng and I will cover for you."

"No matter who kills that kid, Lord Meng and I will have rewards."

Upon hearing this, the two showed joy.

"As you command!"

Master Li's face showed ruthlessness. "He talked back to me, offended Lord Meng. Today, I finally found an opportunity to openly kill him."

"If I let him escape, I won't be able to rest easy!!"

On the other side.

A young woman's gaze was like a torch.

"Lord Wei, I am determined to win the First Incense this time!"

Wei Yangyun chuckled. "Ying'er, your strength is good, but to win the First Incense, with your current strength, it might be a bit difficult."

"Under the temptation of the Inner Growth Pill, those guys won't hold back. They will send out the geniuses they've been hiding to compete for the First Incense."

"Therefore, this First Incense competition might be very fierce."

"Compared to them, your strength is not superior."

"How about this year, you are only sixteen, you can participate next year. Let's skip this year. I'm worried you'll get injured on stage."

Zuo Ying bit her lower lip, indignantly saying, "Lord Wei, why are you saying things to dampen my confidence? They might be strong, but I'm not someone they can just push around."

"No matter what, I must participate this year, even if I can't win the First Incense."

"I just want to show everyone that women are not to be underestimated!!"

Wei Yangyun shook his head and sighed. "Fine, fine. If you want to go, then go. But if someone really tries to kill you on stage, then I can't do anything."

Zuo Ying's face immediately showed a triumphant smile. "Uncle, you're the best. Don't worry, I'll put in a good word for you with my mother when I get back."

"Besides, I believe that if it comes to a life-or-death moment, you definitely won't stand by and do nothing. Who else do you have as a niece besides me!"

"I really owe you in this life."

Wei Yangyun curled his lips and reminded him, "Call me 'Lord' when we're outside!!"

"Okay, Lord Wei!!"

Like Wei Yangyun, Meng Cao, and Master Li, there were quite a few people who brought their talented and strong young disciples with them.

At first, they had no intention of competing for the First Incense.

After all, exposing their talent and strength could very well bring about their own demise.

It wasn't worth it for ordinary rewards.

But now.

In front of the Inner Growth Pill.

Everyone immediately made a decision.

No matter what, they had to fight for this pill.

After all, for them, the Inner Growth Pill was far more precious than anything else; it was something that could save lives.

Let alone exposing their talent and strength.

Even if it meant their young disciples had to die.

As long as they could obtain this Inner Growth Pill.

It would be worth it!!

Therefore.

After the County Governor announced the Inner Growth Pill as the reward for the First Incense.

For a time, countless young disciples were brought out from their homes and rushed to the registration office to sign up. This momentum immediately stunned the administrator in charge of registration.

In principle, registration was not allowed after the deadline.

But there was no way around it; those people were the principle.

Those who registered later were, without exception, all introduced by famous figures in Fangcheng.

As a mere subordinate responsible for registration, how could he dare to refuse them?

Just kidding.

He'd be beheaded in minutes!
