Today, Chen Xiang did not go to ripen the elixir immediately. He went to a huge square in the middle of the Shen Family Villa early in the morning because today was the day when the position of the clan leader was finalized. The Shen family had not had a clan leader for more than three months. As a result, The Shen family is a little confused.
In a huge square covered with stone bricks in the Shen Family Villa, stood the important descendants of the entire Shen family, numbering about three hundred, all of whom were elite descendants of the Shen family.
Everyone in the Shen family gathered around the square, and there was a large space in the middle. There were five middle-aged men standing there, one of whom was Shen Tianhu.
Chen Xiang was also surrounded by the crowd, watching the excitement. If necessary, he would go out to help his father fight for the position of clan leader.
A middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and gray hair said with a sneer: "Shen Tianhu, do you know that there is a very important condition for being the head of the Shen family."
This middle-aged man's name is Shen Haohai. He is the leader of a relatively powerful branch of the Shen family. He is older than Shen Tianhu and his strength is at the seventh level of the Mortal Martial Realm. This strength is not bad in the Shen family, so he believes that he is qualified to be the leader of the Shen family. The head of the family. In terms of seniority, Chen Xiang still needs to call him uncle.
Shen Tianhu glared at Shen Haohai angrily and said coldly: "Of course I know that the patriarch's relatives must have good potential, so as to prevent the patriarch from misappropriating a large amount of public resources and wasting it on his own relatives."
Chen Xiang's mother passed away a long time ago. Chen Xiang has not seen her since she was sensible. Chen Xiang is the only relative of Chen Tianhu.
"Haha... your son is a person without spiritual veins. If you become the clan leader, you will definitely use a lot of precious elixirs on him! You have been buying elixirs and elixirs all these years just to kill your son. Help him up? But everyone knows his background." Shen Haohai laughed and said, "Everyone knows that he is a loser who can never get up!"
Shen Tianhu naturally knew that his son was outstanding among his peers. He just wanted to hide his strength and not reveal too much amazing strength, otherwise it would cause trouble.
"My son can release the fire of true energy! He has the potential to make alchemy. How dare you say that he is useless? I'm afraid the elders of the Shen family won't think so." Shen Tianhu sneered.
At this time, everyone started talking. The fact that the Lingdan Pavilion's master was rejected from accepting a disciple had already spread throughout Crouching Tiger City. Although Chen Xiang does not have spiritual veins, if he has the fire of true energy, he will have the opportunity to become an alchemist. division.
Shen Haohai snorted coldly: "But he rejected the master of the Lingdan Pavilion. Without a master, he cannot become an alchemist."
At this moment, Chen Xiang's calm and steady voice came: "I can now refine a low-grade mortal level body tempering pill."
Hearing Chen Xiang's words, everyone was stunned, but Shen Haohai burst into laughter: "Huangkou boy, you can refine elixirs at the age of sixteen? Don't think that you can help your father win the position of clan leader by saying a few big words. .Also, lying in front of elders will be severely punished."
"Do you think you are the genius of the medicine family? The medicine family is a family of elixirs! It has a rich heritage."
Chen Xiang walked out of the crowd with clear eyes and a calm expression. He took out an alchemy furnace, looked at Shen Haohai and sneered, saying: "Do you dare to take a gamble with me? I will refine a furnace of tempered body. Dan, how about you kowtow to me in public and apologize?"
Shen Haohai couldn't laugh anymore, and everyone was stunned. They didn't expect that Chen Xiang would be so arrogant and say such things!
Shen Haohai was furious that a junior was acting presumptuously in front of him.
Chen Tianhu supported Chen Xiang's actions. He knew that the time for his son to feel proud had arrived.
Shen Haohai's face was full of power and anger, and he said in a deep voice: "What did you just say!" As he spoke, a burst of true energy enveloped Chen Xiang, but it was turned away by Shen Tianhu.
Chen Xiang stared at Shen Haohai and raised his voice and said, "I want to make a bet with you! If I can refine a furnace of body tempering pills, you will kowtow to me in public and apologize."
Chen Xiang repeated it with a serious face, not joking at all, and his tone was also full of arrogance. There were not many young people in the Shen family who could face their elders like this.
Shen Haohai was so angry that he was shaking all over. When he saw Chen Xiang's serious look, he didn't dare to agree immediately, and some people around him were also waiting for his answer.
Chen Xiang stared at Shen Haohai and continued: "You slandered me in public as a useless waste. Now I want to prove myself and ask you to apologize to me! As a senior, don't you dare to gamble?"
Shen Haohai wanted to slap Chen Xiang to death, but he did not dare. After all, killing a young member of his own clan was a very serious matter.
An old man said: "In that case, Shen Haohai, just take a gamble with him, but you won't have to kowtow and apologize. It's just a child's angry words. So, if he can refine a furnace of elixirs, Shen Haohai, you can do it If he loses, give him corresponding compensation."
"I agree, if my son loses, I will no longer compete for the position of clan leader!" Shen Tianhu said, and then nodded to Chen Xiang.
Everyone was in an uproar again, Shen Tianhu actually made such a big bet!
Shen Haohai snorted: "Let's bet. If I lose, I will give him the thousand-year-old blood Ganoderma lucidum I just got."
Thousand-year-old Blood Ganoderma! Everyone suddenly shouted, that is Blood Ganoderma that has grown for thousands of years. It is a very expensive Xuan-level low-grade elixir.
"Chen Xiang, start refining the pill now! How long will it take you?" asked the old man. He was the elder of the Shen family and had a certain prestige.
According to everyone's understanding, refining a low-grade mortal elixir would take at least half a day, and the fastest would take two or three hours, let alone a sixteen-year-old boy.
"Very soon, we don't need to waste much time!" As he spoke, Chen Xiang sat down cross-legged, and the elder and Shen Haohai also came over to check the alchemy furnace to prevent Chen Xiang from cheating.
"Inferior alchemy furnace, it seems that Shen Tianhu, you are very poor!" Shen Haohai sneered. Everyone knew that Shen Tianhu spent all his money on Shen Xiang.
Chen Xiang took out the materials from the storage bag, sorted them, checked them, and then released the fire of true energy to warm the alchemy furnace before putting the materials into it. His movements were very skillful.
The fire of true energy also surprised everyone slightly. Although many people can release flames when attacking by practicing some martial arts, those flames can only be released when attacking. Normally, they cannot be like Chen Xiang. You can control it freely unless you practice some fire control techniques, but those techniques are very rare and difficult to practice.
The alchemy furnace had been filled with flames by Chen Xiang, and at this time, the slightest scent of medicine floated out of the alchemy furnace.
An hour passed, and everyone saw Chen Xiang with his eyes closed and his eyebrows suddenly furrowed. They knew at a glance that it was a critical moment, and Shen Haohai was also sweating. He was worried that he would lose the thousand-year-old blood Ganoderma lucidum.
Everyone saw the mist coming out of the alchemy furnace, and Chen Xiang also opened his eyes, with a happy face, stood up and said, "Please check."
"What? Completed in one hour?" Everyone expressed doubts.
The first person to go was the elder! Although he couldn't make alchemy, he also knew about the process of alchemy. He had been watching Chen Xiang carefully just now and knew that Chen Xiang had a certain foundation in alchemy, although he didn't know about the alchemy furnace. The situation inside, but he could sense that the heat released by the alchemy furnace was changing, and the changes were very subtle.
Opening the lid of the alchemy furnace, everyone immediately smelled the faint medicinal aroma. This was indeed the medicinal aroma they were familiar with, and they could also witness the refining process with their own eyes. When they saw the elder taking out five snow-white pills, they were all excited. I couldn't help but exclaimed.
