Daqin arrests alchemists, what does it matter to me as a qi refiner?

"I wonder who you are, senior, and why you are lingering here. Why don't you show yourself and have a proper chat?" Since taking the pills given to him by Yang Ling, the Wang family head's health has improved considerably. He personally dealt with those powerful figures, a smile on his face.

"We come from the Wang family! You must have heard of us!" There was only one relatively well-known Wang family, and they immediately realized who it was.

"So it's you! I didn't expect to see you here. It's quite a surprise. But why did you bring so many people? It's like you're moving house!" he asked cautiously, while the others watched from the side, wondering what had happened.

The Wang family is considered quite powerful; unless something major happened, they would never have made such a commotion.

The head of the Wang family knew perfectly well that these people were trying to gather information.

"If you really want to know, why not wait a few days? The truth will come out then!" These people usually don't have much contact with them. They came all this way to avoid trouble.

If they found out that the Wang family was kicked out, these people might turn on them and take action.

It would be better to remain silent and wait for Yang Ling to intervene; then, who among them would dare to do anything to them? They exchanged glances.

The Wang family members spoke hesitantly, as if they were hiding something. Could it be that something terrible had happened that wiped out the entire family?
Of course, since the other party wouldn't say, they didn't dare to act rashly, lest there be serious consequences. So, they all took their leave. The Wang family head breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Yang Ling.

"Young Master Zhao, the female head of the family you mentioned earlier should be arriving soon, right?" Yang Ling nodded. Actually, he hadn't spoken to the female head of the family yet, but it should be soon. He sighed helplessly; if he could hold on for a few more days, things should be fine.

Yang Ling immediately sent a message to the female family head, warning that if they didn't come soon, they would be doomed.

However, those families received the news much faster than he had expected. They looked at the Wang family; the Wang family's resources were extraordinary, and after this incident, they must possess many valuable items. They immediately began discussing their options.

"Anyway, the Wang family has completely fallen out with the Li clan, and they fled here, otherwise they wouldn't be here. Moreover, the Li clan's strength has recently increased significantly, so you can imagine how powerful they are, comparable to our Qin family's patriarch!"

“That’s right, he’s definitely lying to us. Why don’t we go and take care of them, then extort a lot of money from them and give them to the Li Clan? Maybe the Li Clan will remember our kindness!”

These families all had their own agendas, and they had always been slightly stronger than the Wang family. Therefore, the Wang family seemed weaker and more vulnerable in their eyes, which explains why they didn't take the Wang family seriously.

The Duan and Qin families immediately reached an agreement, both feeling that there was no time to lose and they needed to take action to resolve the matter quickly.

They deduced that Yang Ling was behind the Wang family's escape to this place.

Yang Ling is exceptionally talented and has many hidden strengths. If he is allowed to continue developing, he will definitely pose a threat to them in the future.

Why not take this opportunity to get rid of Yang Ling and prevent future troubles?

The others looked at each other, their eyes gleaming, and hesitated for a while, clearly still undecided.

"Don't you all want to obtain the Wang family's treasures? The Wang family is renowned for its sorcerers; they must possess countless elixirs, many of which can enhance strength. Even obtaining just a little would be an unprecedented gain!" The Qin family elder spoke each word clearly, his words exciting everyone. Indeed, even a small amount of the Wang family's possessions would be of immense value.

Others echoed.

"Let's go too!"

"Yes, we're all going!"

They gathered together and marched in a large group to the outside of the Wang family's residence. A murderous glint flashed in the eyes of the Wang family patriarch; his strength had recovered to its peak during this period.

He had guessed beforehand that these guys would come knocking on his door, and sure enough, he was right.

After all, Dai Tianze was exceptionally strong and had just been promoted. They were like duckweed on a river, drifting aimlessly. They were driven here by the Li Clan, so it was only natural for them to kick them when they were down.

Yang Ling frowned slightly. When would the female patriarch finally appear? She had promised before, had she forgotten? If she didn't show up soon, a fight was inevitable.

He wasn't afraid of conflict, but he didn't want the Wang family to be involved in any more trouble.

The Wang family still held great use for him. He secretly pondered this in his heart. The head of the Wang family roused himself, believing that the female head of the family would come, though she might not arrive for a while.

"Pass down the word, have all the strong members of the family step forward!" As his words fell, more than a dozen powerful members of the Wang family gathered together. They looked up, and the aura emanating from those people was enough to shake the heavens and earth.

The elder of the Qin family spoke first.

"Your Wang family escaped, so we, the major families, despise scoundrels like you the most. We've come here today to teach you a lesson. If you surrender, perhaps we might show you mercy!"

He spoke slowly and deliberately, his gaze fixed on the head of the Wang family.

The head of the Wang family seemed to have heard a joke, and his heart was filled with disdain.

"I've long heard that your Qin family is shameless, and seeing it today, I can confirm it's true. If you want to fight, then come at me, stop with the nonsense!" The Qin family elder clenched his fists. How dare you insult the Qin family like this? You're really asking for trouble.

He roared and drew a large sword. The aura he unleashed formed a shockwave, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze, leaving only an endless stream of power.

He roared and launched an attack, showing no mercy whatsoever. Just as the Wang family patriarch was about to react, a force suddenly appeared out of thin air and repelled the Qin family elder.

Faced with this force, he didn't even have a chance to struggle before being completely eliminated.

Then, the figure of the female patriarch appeared. She placed her hands behind her back, looking down at everyone. She was surrounded by golden light and had a very powerful aura.

"You are truly audacious!"

"Are you going to interfere even with the people I'm protecting?"

The female head of the family blurted out.

Her appearance stunned everyone; they watched the scene, their bodies trembling and their pupils contracting violently.

Too strong!

The Qin family elder was no weakling, yet he was defeated by the female family head in a single move.

Looking around, such strong individuals are extremely rare.

Even so, they couldn't withstand a single blow from the female patriarch. They were well aware of her strength, but they had only heard of it, never witnessed it. This time, the female patriarch's sudden attack and her words were startling. Those people quickly reacted, and without a word, bowed and took their leave.

"I never expected the matriarch of the family to come. I am truly sorry for not welcoming you properly!"

"Since the matriarch has arrived, we'll take our leave now!"

As the saying goes, a wise man submits to circumstances. This is the matriarch of the family; who would dare to provoke her unless they were courting death?

The female head of the family spoke coldly, too lazy to pay them any attention.

"Leave now, we're giving you some time!"

After he finished speaking, the elders fled in all directions, no longer daring to cause trouble for the Wang family. The Wang family patriarch finally felt relieved, and was extremely excited.

"Thank you so much for saving me!"

"Why don't we go inside and sit for a while?"

He waved his hand.

"I have no interest whatsoever. As for helping you, it's all thanks to this little guy. Whatever happens to you is none of my business!" These words were extremely arrogant, showing utter contempt for everyone. The Wang family head touched his nose. Had he heard correctly? The female family head was doing this for Yang Ling. What else did Yang Ling know that they didn't know?

It seems that his decision to side with Yang Ling was a wise one; perhaps the Wang family can reach its peak because of Yang Ling.

"Alright, I don't want to say anything more to you. You can rest assured from now on. With me here, no one will dare to do anything to you!"

After speaking, the female patriarch turned and left, her figure disappearing from their sight once again.

Seeing this, Yang Ling couldn't help but smile. Fortunately, the female head of the family was accommodating.

"Patriarch Wang, you can stay here in peace. In the coming days, I may need you to help me refine some pills! These pills are crucial for what's to come!" Yang Ling instructed him, and he agreed without hesitation.

"Of course, Young Master Zhao, don't worry. You've helped the Wang family, so we'll grant any request you make!" Originally, he only praised Yang Ling without being entirely confident, but he vaguely felt that Yang Ling was destined for greatness, perhaps even capable of influencing the future of the Wang family. After settling things with the Wang family, Yang Ling returned to the Chen family to continue his cultivation.

The Blood Moon is approaching, and seizing this opportunity to improve one's strength will be extremely difficult; it won't be that simple. He also has a deal with the female clan leader to help her obtain something during the Blood Moon.

The news of Dai Tianze had already spread, after all, it had been a long time since such a powerful expert had appeared.

Even the demonic beasts were shocked, and their future was even more precarious. I'm afraid things are not so simple.

Although they don't have much interaction with humans, the sudden appearance of a new force is very important to the demon beasts. What if they suddenly make a move?
Of course, they are not ordinary demonic beasts either. They possess the bloodline of ancient demonic beasts, making them extremely powerful.

Several demonic beasts gathered together: the Heavenly Python, the Dragon Soar, and the Vermilion Bird. The patriarch of the Heavenly Python clan was named Hei Er, and he looked at the demonic beasts before him.

“That Dai Tianze is cunning and has tried to kill us more than once, wanting to seize the essence blood from our demon beasts!”

We have to be careful!

They looked at each other.

At that moment, the sky and earth changed color, and they all looked in the same direction. What an incredibly powerful force!
This aura was unlike anything I'd ever seen before, yet it appeared out of nowhere; it was definitely not something ordinary.

Hei Er rushed forward, and the surrounding temperature instantly soared. He saw a black light in the center of the white light, as if it had not yet appeared in the world, but the power contained within it was far beyond what ordinary people could withstand, he thought to himself.

"This is a dragon pill!"

He gasped, his voice low and hoarse.

"A dragon core has never appeared in a hundred years, let alone one so powerful. It is not yet fully formed, only in its initial stage, yet the aura it exudes is already comparable to ours. Once this dragon core is fully formed, I'm afraid even the heavens and earth will change color!" Several demonic beasts were greatly shocked, as if they had thought of something, and blurted out.

“I saw in the scroll before that there would be strange phenomena when the Dragon Pill is formed. Could it be that the Dragon Pill was born along with heaven and earth when the Blood Moon arrives?” As soon as they finished speaking, they slowly remembered that there was such a thing.

"That's right, this is indeed a dragon pill. Such a powerful aura can only come from a dragon pill!" Their expressions were grim. The appearance of a dragon pill in the Spirit Realm meant that the Spirit Realm would not be peaceful from now on. Hei Er lowered his voice and said coldly.

"Oh no! If Dai Tianze finds out, he'll definitely come to the Spirit Realm to seize this Dragon Pill, which would be extremely useful to him!"

"We absolutely cannot sit idly by and wait to die; we must prepare in advance, or the consequences will be unimaginable!" They remained calm and began discussing countermeasures. The other demonic beasts forced a smile, thinking, "It's not that easy!"

"Do you think only Dai Tianze will come? I'm afraid others won't be able to hold back and will rush over too. After all, how can such a precious thing be monopolized by one person? This dragon pill can enhance strength, and what's more, this dragon pill is much more powerful than we imagined!"

"In that case, we're all in grave danger!" They had long anticipated this day, but they hadn't expected it to come so soon. In any case, this day was bound to arrive sooner or later.

"For now, seal this place off and don't let anyone in. As for the weaker monsters, let them retreat. If those people come, we'll sit back and watch them fight it out."

"We must not take action unless absolutely necessary!" It's rare that they've stood on the same side this time.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Dai Tianze sat in the main seat when a scout came to report that the female patriarch was actually protecting Yang Ling, and not only that, she was also helping that poor, remote place. He seemed to be deep in thought after hearing this.

“Well, his strength has been steadily improving over the years. Before he wanted to become even stronger, I thought he was just wasting his time, but now it seems he still has a long way to go,” the other elders quickly said.

"Speaking of which, why is the female head of the family helping Yang Ling? Yang Ling is unremarkable; what is there to help him with?"

"That's right, Yang Ling is just a little more talented, but in front of our patriarch, he's like an ant. We could crush him with ease!"

Dai Tianze sneered. The female patriarch valued Yang Ling so highly for only one reason: he had made a deal with Yang Ling, betting everything on him. With the female patriarch's help, he couldn't act immediately. The Wang family was nothing but a rabble; there was no rush to deal with them. A glint flashed in his eyes; what he wanted most right now was the Dragon Pill. That Dragon Pill was born of heaven and earth and would appear in the world just before the Blood Moon.

His eyes darted around. Lately, he'd been sensing something, and he figured the dragon pill was somewhere in the Spirit Realm. He'd already clashed with those demonic beasts there; he hadn't expected to have to go there again.

It's a good opportunity to practice on those demonic beasts. (End of Chapter)
