C9 Family patriarch competition
Today, Shen Xiang didn't immediately go and mature the spirit medicine. He went to the huge square in the middle of the Shen family Manor early in the morning. Because today was the day when the Patriarch's position was decided, the Shen family had not had a Patriarch for more than three months, causing the Shen family to be in chaos.
In the Shen family's villa, there was a huge plaza covered in stone bricks. Standing on it were the important members of the Shen family. There were roughly three hundred of them, and they were all the elite members of the Shen family.
The people of the Shen family were gathered in the plaza, in the middle, there was a large space, there stood five middle aged men, and one of them was Shen Tianhu.
Shen Xiang also surrounded the crowd, watching the lively scene. When necessary, he had to go out and help his father to fight for the Patriarch's seat.
A middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and somewhat grizzled hair said with a sneer on his face, "Shen Tianhu, do you know that there is a very important condition for you to become the Shen Family's Patriarch?"
This middle aged man's name was Shen Haohai, he was one of the stronger branch commanders of the Shen family, older than Shen Tianhu, and had a cultivation at the seventh level of the mortal kungfu realm. This strength was pretty good in the Shen family, so he believed that he had the qualifications to be the head of the Shen family. In terms of seniority, Shen Xiang still needed to call him uncle.
Shen Tianhu glared angrily at Shen Haohai, and said coldly: "Of course I know that the patriarch's family members all need to have good potential, so as to prevent the patriarch from wasting a large amount of resources on his family members."
Shen Xiang's mother had passed away a long time ago, and Shen Xiang had never seen his before.
"Haha …" Your son is someone who doesn't have a spirit vein. If you become the clan leader, you will definitely use a lot of precious pills on him! Didn't you go around buying elixirs all these years just to help your son up? But everyone knows his background. " Shen Haohai laughed loudly, "Everyone knows that he is a trash who will never get up!"
Shen Tianhu naturally knew that his son was someone of the same age as him. He only wanted to hide his true strength, and not reveal too much of his shocking strength.
"My son can release the zhenqi fire! With the potential to forge pills, do you dare to say that he is useless? The elders of the Shen family would not think so, right? " Shen Tianhu sneered.
At this time, many people were discussing, the news of Ling Dan Pavilion's pavilion master being rejected as a disciple had already spread throughout the entire Lying Tiger City. Although Shen Xiang did not have a spirit vein, with the zhenqi fire, he would have the chance to become a Alchemist.
Shen Haohai coldly snorted, "But he rejected the offer. He would have been unable to become a Alchemist without his master."
At this moment, Shen Xiang's calm and steady voice travelled over, "I am now able to refine a lower grade Mortal level Body Tempering Pill."
Hearing Shen Xiang's words, everyone was startled, but Shen Haohai actually laughed out loud: "Kid, you're only 16 years old, yet you are able to concoct pills? Don't think that just by saying a few big words you can help your father get the position of clan leader. Also, lying in front of the elders will result in a heavy punishment. "
"You think you are the genius of Medicine Family? His Medicine Family is a medicine concocting family! He has a very deep foundation. "
Shen Xiang walked out from the crowd, his eyes clear and his face calm. He took out a pill furnace and looked at Shen Haohai with a sneer, saying: "Do you dare to bet with me? I have refined a batch of Body Tempering Pill, how about you kowtow to me in public and apologize? "
Shen Haohai couldn't laugh anymore, and the crowd was also dumbfounded. They never thought that Shen Xiang would actually be so arrogant, saying such words!
A junior actually dared to be presumptuous in front of him, this made Shen Haohai extremely angry.
Shen Tianhu was supportive of Shen Xiang's actions, he knew that the time for his son to be proud had come.
Shen Haohai's face was full of anger and he said solemnly: "What did you say just now!" While speaking, a wave of Innate Qi enveloped Shen Xiang, but was dissipated by Shen Tianhu.
Shen Xiang stared at Shen Haohai, raised his voice and said: "I want to make a bet with you! If I am able to refine a batch of Body Tempering Pill, you must kowtow to me in public and apologize. "
Shen Xiang repeated his words with a serious face, he did not seem like he was joking, and his tone was filled with arrogance. There were not many youths in the Shen Family who were able to face their seniors like this.
Shen Haohai was so angry that his entire body was trembling, he saw Shen Xiang's serious look, and did not dare to immediately agree, and the people around were also waiting for his reply.
Shen Xiang glared at Shen Haohai and continued: You slandered me publicly as a useless trash. Now I want to prove myself, and also make you apologize to me! As a senior, do you not dare to gamble? "
Shen Haohai wanted to slap Shen Xiang to death, but he didn't dare, killing the young disciples of his clan was an extremely serious matter.
An old man said: "Since that's the case, Shen Haohai, you can bet with him. But we can forget about kowtowing and apologizing. "How about this, if he can concoct a batch of pills, Shen Haohai, you lose and give him a corresponding compensation."
"I agree. If my son loses, I won't fight for the position of clan leader anymore!" Shen Tianhu said, then nodded at Shen Xiang.
The audience was in an uproar once again, Shen Tianhu actually placed such a huge bet!
Shen Haohai snorted: "If I lose, I'll give him the Millennium Blood Lingzhi I just obtained."
Millennium Blood Lingzhi! Everyone immediately began to cry out in a low voice. That was a thousand-year-old Blood Lingzhi, an extremely expensive low grade profound level medicine.
"Shen Xiang, you can begin refining the pill! How long will it take you? " The old man asked. He was an elder of the Shen family and possessed a certain amount of prestige.
According to everyone's understanding, refining low-grade Mortal level pills would take at least half a day, and the fastest would take at least four to four hours, let alone a sixteen-year-old youth.
"Very soon, there's no need to waste everyone's time!" While talking, Shen Xiang sat down cross legged, and the elder and Shen Haohai also came over to check the pill furnace to prevent Shen Xiang from cheating.
"A poor quality pill cultivating furnace, it seems like you, Shen Tianhu, are very poor!" Shen Haohai mocked. Everyone knew that Shen Tianhu used all of his money on Shen Xiang.
Shen Xiang took out the ingredients from the storage bag to organize and inspect them before releasing the zhenqi fire to warm the furnace. Only then did he throw the ingredients in.
The zhenqi fire also caused everyone to be surprised. Although many of them were able to release fire when they were training, it was only released when they were attacking. Usually, they would not be able to control them as freely as Shen Xiang could, unless he was cultivating a few fire controlling skills, but those skills were extremely rare and difficult to cultivate.
The Pill Refining Furnace had already been poured into the flames by Shen Xiang, and a faint aroma wafted out from the furnace.
One hour had passed, and everyone saw Shen Xiang who had his eyes closed suddenly frowning, one look was enough to tell that it was a crucial time, and Shen Haohai was also sweating profusely, he was worried that he would lose the Millennium Blood Lingzhi.
Everyone saw that the furnace was releasing mist, Shen Xiang also opened his eyes, his face revealed joy, he stood up and said: "Please check."
"What?" You finished it in two hours? " Everyone voiced their doubts.
The first to go was that elder! Even though he could not refine pills, he knew about the process of refining pills. He had been carefully observing Shen Xiang and knew that Shen Xiang had a certain level of foundation for refining pills, so even though he was not clear about the situation inside the pill furnace, he could feel that the heat emitted from the furnace was changing.
Opening the lid of the pill furnace, everyone immediately smelled a faint medicinal fragrance. This was indeed a very familiar fragrance, and they could even personally witness the refining process. When they saw the elder take out five snow-white pills, they couldn't help but cry out in alarm.
