One-Star Dou Spirit!

One-Star Dou Spirit!

And indeed, just as they had expected, when the Medicine Gang learned that the Nine Heavens Pavilion had dared to steal their business, they were furious.

"Gang Leader, the Nine Heavens Pavilion is being far too arrogant! They're just a newly risen force, yet they dare compete with us for business! If we don't take action, outsiders will think we're afraid of them!"

"Li Si is right! We can't let them off so easily!"

Seeing the heated discussion below, Liu Yu, the Medicine Gang's leader, raised a hand and said, "Quiet!"

At his words, Li Si and the others immediately shut their mouths.

Liu Yu then looked at Han Xian beside him and asked, "Han Xian, what are your thoughts on this matter?"

Han Xian was the successor Liu Yu had personally chosen to become the next leader of the Medicine Gang.

Since this matter concerned the Medicine Gang's future direction, Liu Yu wanted to use it to test him.

After all, Liu Yu was still around. Even if Han Xian's decisions were flawed, Liu Yu could help correct them.

Hearing Liu Yu's question, Han Xian pondered for a moment before saying, "Gang Leader, forgive me for speaking bluntly, but I think we should avoid provoking the Nine Heavens Pavilion!"

Liu Yu frowned upon hearing Han Xian's words.

Before Han Xian could continue, the people below had already erupted into chaos.

"Han Xian, what do you mean? Are you afraid of some force put together by a newcomer? Or did you take a bribe from the Nine Heavens Pavilion? Why else would you speak for them?"

"Hmph! Don't think that just because the Gang Leader favors you, you can rest easy. If you ask me, you're just a useless freeloader! You have no right to become the next leader of our Medicine Gang!"

Faced with everyone's accusations, Han Xian did not argue. He merely remained silent.

Seeing this, Liu Yu let out a sigh.

"Enough, enough, stop arguing for now! Han Xian, continue!"

Hearing Liu Yu's words, everyone finally quieted down.

Han Xian immediately voiced his opinion.

"The reason I said we shouldn't provoke the Nine Heavens Pavilion is because of their Pavilion Master—Fa Wutian!"

"What do you mean?"

"From what I understand, although Fa Wutian is only a Nine-Star Dou Grandmaster, he is exceptionally young. He's only thirteen or fourteen years old! Do you really think someone like that would have an insignificant background?"

"But we can't just swallow this insult, can we?"

Han Xian shook his head.

"No! Although the Nine Heavens Pavilion has harmed our interests, we aren't the most anxious ones. The Sky Wolf Gang is!"

Han Xian then told everyone about the conflict between the Sky Wolf Gang and the Nine Heavens Pavilion.

He even told them everything that had happened between Bai Cheng and Fa Wutian.

That alone showed how thoroughly Han Xian had investigated the Nine Heavens Pavilion!

After explaining everything clearly, Han Xian stood to the side and waited for Liu Yu to make the final decision.

After hearing Han Xian's analysis, Liu Yu thought for a moment and said, "Han Xian, you've done well! It seems my efforts in training you these past days weren't wasted! However, there's one point you got wrong!"

Han Xian was somewhat surprised and immediately assumed an attentive expression.

"Based on my understanding of Bai Lang, he will never continue provoking the Nine Heavens Pavilion! Therefore, the problem still falls back on our Medicine Gang!"

After all, both he and Bai Lang came from collateral branches, so naturally they understood each other's way of handling matters.

Hearing this, Han Xian frowned slightly.

"Could it be that even Bai Cheng, as a direct descendant, can't command him?"

"No, it's different! Bai Cheng has been blinded by hatred, but Bai Lang is different! He'll definitely explain the pros and cons to Bai Cheng. That way, they'll sit back and watch the tigers fight, just like us!"

After hearing Liu Yu's explanation, Han Xian finally understood.

No wonder the Sky Wolf Gang had not gone to cause trouble for the Nine Heavens Pavilion these past few days.

So they had been planning the same thing!

"Gang Leader, what should we do next? Do we do as the Sky Wolf Gang wishes and become their pathfinders? Or do we give up part of our profits?"

After all, they could not refine the Purefire Pill that Fa Wutian had made!

Not to mention that the Purefire Pill was a fourth-rank medicinal pill. Here, aside from Liu Yu, no one else was a Fourth-Rank Alchemist!

But if that happened, they could only abandon the market for their second-rank Clear Flame Pill!

After considering it again and again, Liu Yu gritted his teeth and said, "We absolutely cannot abandon the Clear Flame Pill market! Although the Nine Heavens Pavilion's Purefire Pill is more effective than ours, its price is also extremely high! We can completely fight them in a war of attrition. As long as they dare lower their prices, they'll be the ones who lose in the end! After all, the materials needed to refine a fourth-rank medicinal pill are nowhere near as cheap as those for our Clear Flame Pill! Furthermore, to prevent them from refining other medicinal pills and disrupting our other markets, I have decided to hold an alchemy contest with Fa Wutian. If I win, I'll restrict him from refining other medicinal pills! As for whether he'll dare accept the challenge, I believe he certainly will! After all, he is a Fourth-Rank Alchemist and an unparalleled genius. He will never refuse my challenge!"

Hearing Liu Yu's decision, everyone voiced their agreement.

That was because they had enough confidence in Liu Yu.

Although Fa Wutian was also a Fourth-Rank Alchemist, he was still far too young.

Among alchemists of the same rank, the older one usually won in an alchemy contest!

After all, they had refined more pills and possessed far more experience.

Surely Liu Yu couldn't lose to a junior, could he?

However, Fa Wutian knew nothing of the decisions made by those two gangs.

He was currently heading toward the Burning Sky Qi Refining Tower.

After all, he understood deeply that only strength gave one the final say!

Although everything in the Nine Heavens Pavilion had now entered the right track, their greatest challenge had yet to arrive.

Once they revealed any weakness, the established powers would certainly swarm in and divide them up completely!

Therefore, he was working hard to address the Nine Heavens Pavilion's lack of powerful combat strength!

He had considered seeking out Zi Yan and asking her to guard the Nine Heavens Pavilion. However, he had visited the medicinal herb warehouse several times without finding her.

Left with no choice, he could only raise his own strength first.

As for why he needed Zi Yan to break the deadlock? Wasn't it because raising his own strength required an enormous amount of time as well?

After arriving at the Burning Sky Qi Refining Tower, Fa Wutian did not see the Fallen Heart Flame.

"Looks like it's because I don't possess a Heavenly Flame!"

He clearly remembered that Xiao Yan had only been able to see the Fallen Heart Flame because the Green Lotus Core Flame had covered his eyes!

After descending to the sixth floor, Fa Wutian chose a cultivation room and entered to cultivate in seclusion.

Half a month later.

A surge of Dou Qi fluctuations spread out from the cultivation room.

"Phew... I've finally broken through to the One-Star Dou Spirit realm!"

Fa Wutian opened his eyes, a joyful smile appearing on his face.

After refining the Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill, he had already been at the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Grandmaster realm.

This time, with the Heart Flame's assistance, he had been able to break through so quickly!

"Now it's time to return!"
