Chapter 37: Hefty Reward

  Everyone was stunned, they originally thought that Shen Xiang would probably turn the stone into purple, but now Shen Xiang had crushed the stone to powder with one punch, such a violent power that even the testing stone could not withstand.

  Those who crushed the force stone into blue and purple in the past were considered to be among the best of their generation, but Shen Xiang can now crush this force stone, it's clear that Shen Xiang's strength has far surpassed those people!

  Shen Xiang did not expect this result either. Now he has smashed someone else's testing stone, and he is worried that the Medicine Family will demand compensation from him.

  "This... did I pass? I didn't mean to break it, I just wanted to test it with my strongest power, didn't expect the luck would be so good, and it broke in one go!" Shen Xiang scratched his head and smiled foolishly.

  Everyone looked at him with contempt, and it was just a coincidence that he broke the stone. Only an idiot would believe his nonsense.

  "Passed!" said the person in charge of testing, if this can't pass, then no one can pass.

  On the paper, Shen Xiang had another seal, representing his qualification to participate in the Wang City Martial Arts Conference's martial arts competition. What made him breathe a sigh of relief was that the Medicine Family did not ask him for compensation for the damage to the Testing Stone.

  Of course, Shen Xiang's test of strength is not his entire strength. He only used the fire and wood attribute true energy, and there are three other attribute true energies that have not been used. If all five elements of true energy are combined, the power will be even stronger!

  The fusion of fire and wood attributes under Shen Xiang's cultivation has become perfect, complementing each other to form an even more powerful true energy, making his strength even more formidable. This is also the reason why Shen Xiang has few opponents at the same level!

  After signing up, Shen Xiang started refining pills again. At a young age, the pills he refined were more than those refined by some older pill-refining masters, as said by Shen Lu Zong.

  Shen Xiang learned many alchemy skills and insights from Su Mei Yao, and he was also happy to share them with Shen Lu Zong. This benefited Shen Lu Zong greatly, and he thought that these were Shen Xiang's own epiphanies, which made him even more admiring of his nephew Shen Xiang.

  More than ten days have passed, and on the golden spirit fruit tree in Shen Xiang's small courtyard, six more golden fruits have appeared, about the size of a fist. They are being illuminated by the sunlight, shining brightly and looking very beautiful. When you get close, you can also feel the strong spiritual energy emitted by the golden spirit fruit.

  "This is the legendary top-grade spiritual fruit! I really want to taste one!" Shen Xiang swallowed his saliva, if those old alchemists knew he had this thought, they would definitely beat him to a pulp. Using this Golden Spiritual Fruit as food was simply a waste of heaven's gift.

  Shen Xiang carefully picked the six golden Lingguo fruits and put them in his storage bag, then hastily left the store and came to a place next to Danxiang Pharmacy where people posted notices looking for alchemy assistants, and he posted the notice he had prepared earlier.

  "Shen family's Danwang Pavilion is recruiting three alchemists who can refine low-grade superior dan. The reward is Golden Lingguo..."

  Above that was written the address and his name, Shen Xiang had six Golden Spirit Fruits but he wanted to keep some for himself, after all these Golden Spirit Fruits were also very useful in refining the Foundation Establishment Pill.

  Shen Hui returned to the store and waited patiently, knowing that it wouldn't be long before alchemists would come knocking on his door. The Golden Spirit Fruit was a rare and precious spirit fruit of the highest quality, something every alchemist yearned for, and he was certain it would attract many alchemists.

  Not long after Shen Xiang waited, someone arrived. What surprised Shen Xiang was that the person who came wasn't an alchemist, but rather Huayue Yun, the owner of Danxiang Pharmacy!

  Shen Lu Zong was also very puzzled about this, and he still didn't know that Shen Xiang had used the Golden Spirit Fruit to hire an alchemist, otherwise he would have been jumping up and down with excitement.

  Huayue Yun got off the carriage and rushed into the store, this time she didn't wear a veil, wearing a set of snow-white long dress, looking elegant and noble.

  Shen Xiang looked at her beautiful and melancholic face and asked: "Flower Master, is there something wrong?"

  Huayue Yun hummed softly and asked seriously: "You really used Golden Spirit Fruit as a reward to recruit alchemists?"

  Shen Lu Zong was taken aback and hastily looked at Shen Xiang, who nodded slightly and spread his hands, saying: "Is there a problem? Isn't it allowed?"

  Shen Lu Zong was shocked and let out a strange cry, shouting: "You little brat actually has Golden Spirit Fruit, and you're using it as payment for an alchemist? Are you crazy?"

  Jīn líng guǒ kě yù bù kě qiú, fēi cháng nán dé, yì bān dé dào jīn líng guǒ de rén dū huì liú gěi zì jǐ yòng, zhǐ bǎo pí hé guǒ hé zhè xiē mài chū qù.

  Shen Xiang cleared his throat twice, took out two golden fruits and placed them on the table. A strange spiritual energy suddenly wafted out, which frightened Shen Lu Zong and Hua Yue Yun!

  They did not think that Shen Xiang actually had two.

  "You... you... you..." Shen Lu Zong pointed at Shen Xiang, unable to speak.

  Huayue Yun took a deep breath, after all, she was from the Dà Mén Pài, and had seen her fair share of things. Still, she couldn't help but feel incredulous - Shen Xiang, this young man with such a tender age, actually possessed so many treasures.

  Qian Guo, Hell Spirit Mushroom, Thousand Year Beast Dan, and now there's also Golden Spirit Fruit. Any one of these is extremely precious.

  At this time, Shen Xiang took out another Golden Spirit Fruit, which made Shen Lu Zong and Hua Yue Yun's bodies shake again. However, Shen Xiang chuckled: "Uncle, I know you're hiding your true abilities, so I'll let you take care of these three Golden Spirit Fruits. One is my filial piety to you, and the other two are rewards for recruiting alchemists. When an alchemist comes, you can be in charge."

  Hua Yueyi gazed at the three golden fruits on the table, lightly biting her rosy lips, with an inexplicable complex expression on her face. In her opinion, Shen Xiang was definitely a rare and excellent alchemy talent, who had a great chance of entering the True Martial Realm, but she couldn't tempt him to join Danxiang Taoyuan!

  Shen Lu Zong's hands trembled slightly as he carefully put away the three Golden Spirit Fruits, before suppressing his excitement and asking, "Where did you little scoundrel get these from?"

  Shen Xiang said casually: "I found it in a secret place in the wilderness last night when I went out to practice, and all the fruit trees were moved back by me."

  "The golden spirit tree usually bears five fruits, it seems you're really overflowing with wealth now!" Huayue Yun's enchanting eyes fluttered as she gazed at Shen Xiang, exuding an irresistible charm.

  Shen Xiang turned his head sideways, avoiding her gaze, and asked: "Flower Master, what exactly brings you here?"

  Huā Yuè Yún jiào hēng dào: "Háishì bù shì xiǎng lái kàn kan nǐ shì bu shì zhēn de yǒu jīn líng guǒ? Búguò nǐ zhège zuò fā tài gāo diào le, huì hěn má fan de, zhī qián yào jiā hái bù bǎ nǐ zhège shén me shěn jiā dān wáng gé fàng zài yǎn lǐ, dàn rú jīn nǐ yòng jīn líng guǒ lā pōu liàn dān shī, tāmen yí dìng bù huì kàn zhe nǐmen shùn lì kāi zhāng qù de."

  "Who dares to stop me, I will destroy him!" Shen Lu Zong shouted loudly, his voice full of majesty. He had now obtained the Golden Spirit Fruit, and as long as he was given time, it would not be difficult for him to refine a pill that could help him break through his bottleneck in the future.
