Chapter 23: Heaven Tiger's Brutal Slaughter Fist

  Two cauldrons opened at the same time. Yao Tianhua's cauldron contained five green pills, while Shen Xiang's cauldron had three black pills.

  "Yao Tianhua refined five grains of Lingyuan Dan, Shen Xiang's... are three grains of Ximeng Dan." An elder of the Shen family said, his voice was very excited, the Shen family had produced a pill-refining genius, and every member of the Shen family would be equally thrilled.

  Yao Tianhua and Yao Jia Lao looked at the three black pills, smelling the fragrance of the elixir. It was indeed the Marrow Cleansing Pill, and the master of the Spiritual Elixir Pavilion also picked one up to examine it carefully.

  "This is indeed the Washing Marrow Pill, and its quality is excellent! It's really unbelievable! A little doll like you can actually refine such a pill." The master of the Spiritual Elixir Pavilion was full of admiration, his face filled with complex emotions. He suddenly felt that he had been living in vain for the past 70 or 80 years.

  A burst of exclamations rose from the crowd, and after confirmation, everyone was extremely shocked. They had personally witnessed the process of alchemy, and Shen Xiang indeed did not cheat or use any tricks. He really did refine a Mortal-grade middle-quality Brain Cleansing Pill!

  Shen Xiang's lack of spiritual veins had long been forgotten by everyone; at this moment, he was a alchemist with enormous potential in the eyes of the crowd!

  Yao Tianhua's face was ashen, that handsome face filled with anger, jealousy, and viciousness. If possible, he would have killed Shen Xiang, because he felt that losing to Shen Xiang was a humiliation.

  "I'd rather lose the bet! Bring out the stuff!" Shen Xiang's face wore a faint smile, but in Yao Tianhua's eyes, it was a scornful and mocking smile that made Yao Tianhua seethe with anger.

  The old patriarch of the Medicine House was trembling with rage, not just because they had lost, but also because their reputation had been tarnished. The Medicine House had not only lost the competition, but also lost face. Their genius was no match for a Shen family member without a spiritual vein.

  The old patriarch of the Yao family reluctantly handed over the stakes to Shen Xiang.

  The Millennium Beast Dan is as big as an egg, looking like a green gemstone, with the essence of the Millennium Wild Beast flowing inside. The Thousand-Year Fruit is as big as an apple, very heavy to hold, and can feel the energy contained within when grasped in one's hand.

  Having obtained these two precious elixir materials, Shen Xiang felt a surge of excitement in his heart. If he could refine them into pills, his strength would increase rapidly.

  "Shen Xiang, I want to have a duel with you!" Yao Tianhua drew out the precious sword from his waist and said with a fierce tone.

  Shen Xiang had defeated even those in the Seventh Realm of the Mortal Martial Path, so Yao Tianhua naturally didn't dare to say anything more. The Shen family was also very relieved.

  "Ah, young man, don't be arrogant, or you'll end up losing out," Shen Tianhu sighed lightly. At this moment, Shen Tianhu's mood was extremely excited, his own son not only managed to refine the Washing Marrow Pill, but also earned two precious pill-refining materials.

  "If you want to compare, then compare. If you end up with broken bones and torn tendons, don't blame me. After all, fists and feet have no eyes." Shen Xiang said slowly, the elder of the Shen family and Shen Tianhu had already retreated to one side.

  The elder of the medicine family, however, was somewhat worried. He had lived for several decades and could see that Shen Xiang was extraordinary, not at all like the rumors that he was a useless waste without spiritual veins.

  "Tianhua, are you confident of defeating him?" asked the Medicine Sect's elder in a deep voice.

  "I'm absolutely certain, I'm a martial artist of the fifth rank of the ordinary martial realm, and the martial arts I've cultivated are all excellent." Yao Tianhua's eyes blazed with anger as he stared at Shen Xiang, his hatred for him almost killing.

  "Alright, just a simple spar, don't take his life, after all we are all under the Shen family." The Medicine Sect elder said and left the high platform.

  Shen Xiang found it somewhat amusing that others had previously thought he couldn't refine the Washing Marrow Pill, and now Yao Tianhua actually still believed his strength was very weak.

  "Since it's a competition, why don't we add some stakes?" Shen Xiang said with a smile.

  Seeing Yao Tianhua not speaking, Shen Xiang knew that the Yao family could no longer afford to gamble.

  Shen Xiang smiled and said, "If you win, the Thousand Year Beast Dan and Thousand Fruit will be returned to you! If you lose, then the master of the Lingdan Pavilion must join our Shen family and become a dan-making master for our Shen family. Moreover, I also want half of the spiritual medicine from the Lingdan Pavilion. How about it?"

  Lingdan Pavilion will become a pharmaceutical industry, which means that the master of Lingdan Pavilion has been won over by the Pharmaceutical Family. The master of Lingdan Pavilion also has some skills in alchemy, so Shen Xiang wants to win this talent over to the Shen family.

  "No problem! But the Lingdan Pavilion is still ours, the Medicine Family's." The elder of the Medicine Family agreed very readily. In his view, it was just a matter of a dan-refiner and some spiritual medicine, things that their family didn't lack, let alone with Medicine Tianhua having a 100% guarantee of winning.

  The master of the Lingdan Pavilion just let out a light sigh, being treated as a betting stake was quite unpleasant, but he thought that joining the Shen family wasn't so bad either, maybe he still had a chance to exchange some Hell Spirit Ginseng with Shen Xiang.

  "Bring out your troops!" Yao Tianhua swung the sword in his hand, its cold light flashing, and said coldly.

  Shen Xiang shook his head and said, "I don't use weapons."

  "Don't blame me for being impolite then." Yao Tianhua swung his sword and stepped forward, his footsteps steady and heavy, causing the high platform to tremble. Just by looking at him, one could tell that his attack would be filled with fierce power.

  It was already late at night, but everyone didn't feel tired, on the contrary, they were very spirited, because the duel between two young alchemy geniuses was about to begin.

  The impression that alchemists give people is not very strong, but this is extremely wrong. To become a qualified alchemist, first of all, one must be able to control the true energy with ease, and the divine consciousness must also be strong enough. Only then can one manipulate the flames at will, and also respond to sudden dangers that occur during alchemy.

  Sometimes alchemists also need to collect medicine in person, which is also a very dangerous thing. Moreover, alchemists originally have many elixirs to eat, so the strength of alchemists will never be weak. It's just that alchemists have someone to protect them, so they usually don't need to take action.

  As he watched the sharp long sword stab towards him, Shen Xiang suddenly took a step forward and threw out his fist. The blue true energy instantly wrapped around his arm, condensing into a tiger's head in an instant.

  "Tianhu Bao Sha Quan! This child has actually entered the sixth level of Mortal Martial Realm!" Shen Tianhu exclaimed, Tianhu Bao Sha Quan was his uniquely created Ling-level superior martial art, just like a fierce tiger pouncing, and at the same time it would also produce the power of true energy explosion.

  Anyone who is not blind can see that Shen Xiang has entered the Divine Sense Realm, because he can use his divine sense to control the overflowing true energy and condense it into a shape, condensing it into a tiger head, which can only be achieved by those above the Divine Sense Realm.

  At the age of sixteen, not only can he refine the Washing Marrow Pill, but also possesses the strength of the Sixth Layer of the Mortal Martial Realm. This kind of talent is rare in a thousand years, and only Xue Xianxian of the Xue family can compare to it. It's said that Xue Xianxian once fought evenly with the elder of the Xue family, although it's just a rumor, many people would rather believe it.

  To know that those elders' strengths are all above the sixth level of Mortal Martial Realm, and they have been through hundreds of battles. Xue Xianxian, a 14 or 15-year-old girl, can rival them, this kind of talent is probably only comparable to Shen Xiang.

  Shen Xiang's fist was like a furious tiger, its fierce aura bursting through the air, exploding with a series of loud blasts, meeting the sword that Sword Vortex had thrust out.
