Qian-Bai Elders' Excitement, Medicine Emperor's Ambition

Having already refined the Barrier-Breaking Pill for the first time, Wang Chen was quite confident.

If I could easily refine it at the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, then it would be even easier at the Jia Nan Academy.

With the protection of the Qian-Bai Elders of the Jia Nan Academy, Wang Chen didn't need to worry about his safety.

Of course, Wang Chen still released one of the Heavenly Demon Puppet.

After all, there will be Pill Lightning later, and Wang Chen wouldn't waste such a resource.

With everything prepared, Wang Chen began refining the Barrier-Breaking Pill.

Just like before at the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, Wang Chen selectively enhanced the main medicine and some important auxiliary medicines.

Although not as powerful as a fully enhanced version, it is still possible to refine multiple pills.

Moreover, the difficulty level isn't too exaggerated.

Wang Chen, who already had a firm grasp on refining pills, proceeded with the process methodically.

With the assistance of the Multi-Headed Flame Spirit, a large quantity of medicinal herbs were refined into pure medicinal powder.

After about two hours, Wang Chen had completely refined all the medicinal herbs into pure medicinal powder.

Since this wasn't the first time, the efficiency was relatively higher this time.

"Melt!"

After all the medicinal herbs were refined into powder, Wang Chen didn't waste any time and immediately began the most crucial step in alchemy.

Mix all the medicinal powders together.

Under the control of Wang Chen's Soul Power, a large amount of medicinal powder began to fuse together within the cauldron.

Various different medicinal powders began to undergo miraculous chemical changes within the cauldron.

The various medicinal properties began to blend together, forming new characteristics.

Of course, at this moment, the stability inside the cauldron also dropped rapidly.

Fortunately, Wang Chen's Soul Power was quite strong, and he was able to control the merging pills inside the cauldron, preventing it from exploding.

After all the medicinal powders were mixed together, Wang Chen breathed a slight sigh of relief.

With the most crucial step in refining elixirs completed, this batch of elixirs is essentially 70% successful.

Of course, for Wang Chen, this meant he was 90% successful.

After all, the subsequent Thunder Tribulation was practically a freebie for Wang Chen.

It can guarantee a 100% success rate.

All you need to do is prevent any flame problems at the last moment.

However, this is unlikely for Wang Chen.

The Flame Spirit itself possesses the ability to regulate temperature, and coupled with Wang Chen's own powerful Soul Power, he can control the changes inside the cauldron at any time.

After dividing the large mass of pills into ten equal parts, Wang Chen began the final burning and refining process.

Under the influence of the Flame Spirit and Wang Chen's Soul Power, the ten pills began to become round and full.

After another half hour of careful burning, the ten pills were finally formed.

At this moment, dark clouds were already looming over Wang Chen's head.

The instant the elixir was completely refined, lightning struck down from the dark clouds.

However, Wang Chen didn't care at all.

Because the Heavenly Demon Puppet was already in place between the dark clouds and Wang Chen.

The descending lightning was intercepted and absorbed by the Heavenly Demon Puppet before it even reached Wang Chen.

"Boom!"

As if enraged by the Heavenly Demon Puppet's actions, Thunder Tribulation rapidly descended from the dark clouds, intent on destroying this little insect that had provoked it.

However, this was nothing but impotent rage.

The rapidly descending Thunder Tribulation did not harm the Heavenly Demon Puppet at all; on the contrary, it made the Heavenly Demon Puppet even stronger.

After the energy of the Thunder Tribulation was exhausted, the dark clouds could only disperse.

Wang Chen also pocketed the ten Barrier-Breaking Pills from the cauldron.

After completing one alchemy session, Wang Chen wasn't in too much of a hurry.

I chose to rest for a while and fully recover before doing anything else.

After all, he was only Peak Tier 7 Alchemist certified by the Golden Finger.

Refining a pill with a difficulty level of Eighth-Tier still requires a bit of effort.

Although it's not impossible to refine it directly.

However, Wang Chen didn't want his condition to cause any accidents.

The ingredients for the Barrier-Breaking Pill are quite difficult to collect in the Northwestern Continent.

He didn't want to waste it.

After several hours of rest, Wang Chen had fully recovered and began refining the second batch of Barrier-Breaking Pill.

The Qian-Bai Elders, who were waiting outside, were extremely excited.

If you've already succeeded once, then you have a safety net.

There are four more chances to refine another pill, making it highly likely that the pill will be successfully refined.

The Qian-Bai Elders, who had been stuck at the Peak Dou Zong for countless years, could not help but be excited.

Wang Chen, who was refining pills, was naturally unaware of the thoughts of the Qian-Bai Elders.

He proceeded with his previous steps.

Strengthening, refining, and merging of medicinal powders.

A smooth, quick combo, and the second batch of pills is freshly made.

It's still ten pills.

After completing this refining process, Wang Chen finally stopped.

After tidying everything up, Wang Chen left the alchemy workshop.

"Xiao Chen, how are you?"

Upon seeing Wang Chen emerge, the Qian-Bai Elders, who were extremely excited, couldn't help but ask him questions.

Only those who have experienced their lives can truly understand this excitement.

After waiting in vain for so many years, the opportunity to break through to the Dou Zun has finally arrived. How could they possibly resist?

"Of course, no problem."

Seeing the expressions on Qian-Bai Elders' faces, Wang Chen smiled knowingly.

He took out the two prepared Barrier-Breaking Pill directly from his Storage Ring.

"This is the Barrier-Breaking Pill I refined."

Upon receiving the Barrier-Breaking Pill from Wang Chen, the Qian-Bai Elders couldn't help but breathe rapidly.

"Xiao Chen, is there anything we can help you with?"

"We will never refuse to help if there's anything we two old folks can do."

Although they were eager to go into seclusion and break through their limitations, the Qian-Bai Elders were not ungrateful people.

After receiving the pill, he immediately expressed his gratitude to Wang Chen and also made his promise.

"There's no rush now, you two should focus on your breakthrough first."

Having long seen through the thoughts of the Qian-Bai Elders, Wang Chen was naturally not the kind of person who was unreasonable.

In any case, his purpose in refining the Barrier-Breaking Pill was to help the Qian-Bai Elders, break through to the Dou Zun.

At that time, he won't have so many concerns when implementing his plans.

After all, he wasn't the kind of person who was absolutely selfish.

They wouldn't ignore their acquaintances.

Before taking action, one must naturally consider all possible contingency plans.

"Alright. Once we successfully break through, we will definitely come looking for you again."

Upon hearing Wang Chen's words, the Qian-Bai Elders and his wife, ceased their restraint.

After bowing to Wang Chen in thanks, he went straight into seclusion to break through his cultivation barrier.

After the Qian-Bai Elders left, Wang Chen prepared to return to the Kunlun Sect.

Of course, before returning to the Kunlun Sect, Wang Chen made a special trip to speak with Great Elder Su Qian.

After all, Jia Nan Academy still has some things to deal with.

He couldn't wait for Wang Chen forever.

Of course, the main reason is still because of the Qian-Bai Elders.

With two elders protecting him, it would be somewhat tactless for him to stay there any longer.

In case something unexpected happens during Wang Chen's pill refining process, causing the pill refining to fail.

Wouldn't that make him a punching bag?

That's why he left directly.

Now that the medicine has been successfully refined, Wang Chen naturally wants to inform him.

"Okay, okay."

Upon hearing that both Barrier-Breaking Pill had been successfully refined, Great Elder Su Qian was extremely excited.

Although it wasn't him who used it.

However, it is undoubtedly very good that Jia Nan Academy has two more Supreme Elder at the Dou Zun level.

"You're planning to leave Jia Nan Academy tomorrow?"

"That's right, I plan to go back to the Xiao Clan."

After all, I've been away for so many years and haven't gone back.

Now that I have some time, I still need to go back and see how things have changed in the family."

After informing Great Elder Su Qian about the elixir, Wang Chen also revealed his upcoming itinerary.

Of course, his purpose was not simply to observe the changes in the family.

Most importantly, Huohuo is almost at the point where his original work is taking off.

Now, with his overpowered support, the Xiao Clan is no longer the Da Dou Shi family from the original story.

Although the Xiao Clan has not yet produced Dou Wang) level expert, they have cultivated several Dou Ling) level experts.

For example, Xiao Zhan, the patriarch of the Xiao Clan family, and the Three Great Elders are all experts at the Dou Ling level.

In addition, there were some talented clansmen who received support from Wang Chen.

Even excluding Wang Chen, who is overpowered, the Xiao Clan family now has a total of five Dou Ling (a high-level martial arts master).

Not to mention in Wutan City, even in the Jia Ma Imperial City, they would be considered a prestigious family.

Wang Chen wasn't sure if Nalan Yanran would choose to annul the engagement as she did in the original story.

After all, although Huohuo is now useless, the Xiao Clan is not.

Regardless of Nalan Yanran's choice, Wang Chen will return to the Xiao Clan.

He didn't want to see that famous scene; he wanted to exchange it with the Yao Lao alchemist for the alchemy techniques and various pill formulas he needed.

Now that Huohuo has been tested by the Yao Lao for several years, the old doctor has probably figured out Huohuo's nature.

Even without the annulment of the engagement, Yao Lao probably wouldn't have been able to hold back.

Once the other party successfully accepts a disciple, a bridge of communication will be established between Wang Chen and the Yao Lao.

After all, the Yao Lao had been betrayed by his own disciple, so he was quite sensitive to outside opinions.

Going directly to their door would likely be unsuccessful.

Many pill formulas and alchemy techniques are in the mind of the Yao Lao. If he is unwilling to give them away, then even Wang Chen cannot obtain them.

That's why Wang Chen chose to wait so long.

Otherwise, he would have come knocking on his door long ago after the Heavenly Demon Puppet was successfully crafted.

After parting ways with Great Elder Su Qian, Wang Chen went to see his master, Medicine Elder, once again.

After a few brief pleasantries, Wang Chen explained his arrangements.

He also gifted his master a Heavenly Demon Puppet of the One-Star Dou Zun that he had previously crafted.

When Wang Chen left Jia Nan Academy, he had planned to give one to his teacher.

But Medicine Elder refused.

He felt that Wang Chen would need such a life-saving henchman even more when he went on his travels.

At that time, Wang Chen was not particularly wealthy, so he agreed with Medicine Elder's suggestion.

After all, Medicine Elder had only broken through to the Sixth-Grade Alchemist at that time, and didn't need the Heavenly Demon Puppet to help him block the Thunder Tribulation.

Things are different now.

Wang Chen can already be considered very wealthy.

Wang Chen didn't take this Heavenly Demon Puppet, which had just broken through to the first One-Star Dou Zun, seriously at all.

He still had some left.

They were all refined during his travels in the Rock Mountain Empire.

After the Golden Finger breaks through to the second level of enhancement, even a corpse at the Dou Ling level can be used to refine Heavenly Demon Puppet that has just broken through to the Dou Zun.

It was precisely because of the increased amount of basic materials that Wang Chen was able to refine so many Dou Zun Heavenly Demon Puppet.

Although Wang Chen didn't think much of this Heavenly Demon Puppet, it was still quite good for an average person.

At least for Medicine Elder, this Heavenly Demon Puppet at the Dou Zun level was already considered a top-tier bodyguard.

After Wang Chen's persuasion, Medicine Elder did not refuse this time.

Wang Chen was also very pleased to see Medicine Elder accept the gift.

Wang Chen is never stingy with his generosity towards those he respects.

If Medicine Elder hadn't declined, Wang Chen would have already intended to Medicine Elder a Heavenly Demon Puppet at the Nine-Revolution Dou Zun.

After finishing his miscellaneous tasks with Medicine Elder, Wang Chen finally returned to the Kunlun Sect.

Having found Queen Medusa and her two companions, Wang Chen explained his plans.

None of the three objected to Wang Chen's arrangement and agreed to leave the next day.

"What about me? What about me?"

Meanwhile, Zi Yan, who was still with Queen Medusa and the other two, couldn't help but jump up.

Zi Yan little foodie, naturally didn't want to give up on Wang Chen, this "big spender."

"You?"

Upon seeing Zi Yan, Wang Chen also fell into deep thought.

"Fine, I'll go with them."

After a moment's thought, Wang Chen also decided to bring Zi Yan along.

After all, he had already discussed it with Great Elder Su Qian beforehand, and that he would bring Zi Yan along when they went to explore Central Plains later.

It's fine to let her come along now.

This is a good opportunity to develop some understanding and rapport.

While Wang Chen was making plans for tomorrow, undercurrents were also surging in Feng City, which was also located in the Black-Corner Region.

Inside Feng City, Medicine Emperor Han Feng stared coldly in the direction of the Jia Nan Academy.

He had already received news that there was a Heavenly Flames in the Inner Academy of the Jia Nan Academy.

Han Feng had an extreme fondness for Heavenly Flames.

Before Wang Chen even took off, Han Feng was already subtly searching for traces of the Inner Academy of the Jia Nan Academy.

But to everyone's surprise, someone like Wang Chen, who was completely cheated, appeared.

This directly led to a surge in the strength of the Jia Nan Academy.

With Han Feng's strength, he is no match for the Jia Nan Academy.

Even with his own influence, few dared to follow him to cause trouble for the Jia Nan Academy.

Especially after the destruction of Demon Flame Valley, the prestige of the Jia Nan Academy has completely intimidated the forces of Black-Corner Region.

However, Han Feng did not want to give up that Heavenly Flames.

After all, he had obtained a fragment of the Flame Mantra, so naturally he wanted to find another Heavenly Flames to strengthen himself.

"It seems the only option is to ask the Soul Hall for help."

After sighing twice, Han Feng finally made his decision.

Even if it comes at a price, we must get their help to seize the Heavenly Flames within the Inner Academy of the Jia Nan Academy.

Having made his decision, the Medicine Emperor resolutely sent out a signal, awaiting the arrival of his helpers.
