I, the mortal, come from the great world of Xuanhuang

Dan Lei is a rare occurrence in the entire Black Corner Region, and all the alchemists in the region are seeing it for the first time.

Of course, they had also learned of Danlei's existence from ancient books or from their elders.

But when they witnessed this legendary object appear before their eyes, the vast heavenly power and deafening thunder made their hearts surge. Their eyes were filled with envy, shock, and a variety of other emotions. In short, they were now filled with shock and speechless emotions.

The most important and crucial point is that in the Black Corner Region, there are naturally people who want to possess this Grade 7 pill.

The last time a seventh-grade pill appeared was at an auction, and it was refined elsewhere. When they witnessed such a pill, their eyes burned with a blood-red fervor. Their greed clouded their judgment, but the heavenly lightning restored some of their rationality.

It wasn't that they chose to give up, but rather that they wanted to wait until the heavenly lightning subsided before attempting to seize it. Fang Yu was well aware of their intentions, but he didn't do anything about it, because his most important task now was to help them overcome the heavenly lightning.

This was not a difficult task for him either, so he easily passed through the heavenly lightning, demonstrating his strength to everyone. As soon as he held the pill in his hand, someone spoke up.

"Elder Fang Yan of Demon Flame Valley..."

Of course, before he could finish speaking, Fang Yu raised his hand to stop him and then said without any politeness.

"Enough said. I know you want this pill, but I'm not familiar with your sect, nor with your sect's Demon Flame Ancestor—no, I should say Earth Demon Old Ghost. So forget about this pill; it's impossible. And if you want me to refine the pill to help that Earth Demon Old Ghost break through his cultivation realm, I advise you to forget about it too. It's impossible, something you can't do. If you want to make a move, I welcome it anytime, because you've seen my strength just now. If you make a move, I'm absolutely confident I can keep you here forever and destroy your Demon Flame Valley at the same time."

"Even that old demon can't have any effect on me, so you'd better give up on the idea of ​​me helping you refine pills, because I'm not familiar with you."

Fang Yu's words left Fang Yan speechless, his face turning both pale and red. They hadn't expected that Fang Yu would shut them down before they could even finish speaking.

Originally, they hadn't intended to ask for pills; they only wanted Fang Yu to refine a seventh-grade pill that could elevate a Dou Zong expert to the Dou Zong realm. They would take care of the medicinal herbs themselves, as their sect had collected many herbs over the years and could definitely gather them all. However, they never expected that Fang Yu would refuse, which was something they hadn't anticipated at all.

"Lord Xiao, we..."

"I've already said everything. Didn't you understand? Do I need to repeat myself? I've made myself perfectly clear. Shut up and go back now. I can't help you refine pills. Firstly, I'm not familiar with your sect, and secondly, I have no connection to it. Furthermore, I don't want to refine pills for that old devil, the Earth Demon. I have absolutely no faith in him. After all these years, he's still just a Dou Zong expert—truly a disgrace. What if I refine the pills..." "He's out, but he still hasn't broken through to the next level. Wouldn't that make me lose all face? People who don't know better would think we're making counterfeit pills. How could I possibly refine pills for him under these circumstances? He should just focus on improving his cultivation level himself and stop embarrassing himself. If he doesn't break through soon, with his short lifespan, he'll probably be dead soon. So, he should hurry up and break through. I know you want me to refine pills because you hope I can help him break through, but that's impossible because I'm afraid of losing face."

Fang Yu's words left Fang Yan and the others speechless, and they were also extremely angry, furious to the extreme. However, they dared not make a move because they did not want to offend a seventh-grade alchemist. In addition, they knew very well that Fang Yu's strength was beyond their reach. If they were to take action, even if Fang Yu's strength was not at its peak, it would not be difficult to keep them here forever. Moreover, now all it took was a word or a promise from Fang Yu, and they would stay here forever.

There were simply too many powerful individuals present. There were dozens of Dou Huang level experts alone, and as for Dou Wang level experts, there were countless of them. In addition to these experts, there were also alchemists.

These alchemists, combined with these powerful individuals, were enough to cripple, dismantle, and destroy their sect. Under such circumstances, how could they dare to offend Fang Yu?
So no matter how angry or furious they were, no matter how much they wanted to eat, tear apart, kill, or slaughter Fang Yu, it was all in vain, because they couldn't do it. They could only leave in anger and then disappear without a trace. They had to report this matter to the Earth Demon Old Ghost. They had to summon the Earth Demon Old Ghost. Once the Earth Demon Old Ghost came out, Fang Yu would definitely not dare to be so arrogant.

So what if he's a seventh-grade alchemist? So what if his strength is comparable to a Dou Zong expert? As long as the Earth Demon Old Ghost makes a move, they're all just ants.

As for whether other powerful figures would stop them, there was even less to worry about. They believed that as long as the Earth Demon Old Ghost made a move, even if other powerful figures joined forces, it would be no different from the difference between an ant and a group of ants.

Under these circumstances, how could they possibly have any worries? Now all they need to do is bring out their Earth Demon Old Ghost and have him kill Fang Yu. In this way, the seventh-grade pills in Fang Yu's hands, whether or not they can improve one's cultivation level, will be theirs. Even if they can't improve one's cultivation level, the pure energy within them will surely help the Earth Demon Old Ghost advance further.

That's also their goal.

Fang Yu could naturally guess what they were thinking, but he didn't care. Even if the old demon made a move, what could he do? It would just be a matter of a few slaps from him, so there was no need to worry at all.

After Fang Yan and his group left, Fang Yu spoke to the others.

"If you want to take action, do it quickly, because I'll be heading to the academy soon, and it will be too late if you wait. Of course, if you don't want to take action but would like me to refine the pills, that's fine too. Just leave me the pill formulas and ingredients for the pills you need, and I'll refine them for you when I have time. Don't worry, any pills I refine will be of excellent quality and there won't be any problems. If you don't have a pill formula, that's fine too. As long as I know the formula or you want a pill with a specific effect, you can leave that as well. I guarantee I'll refine it for you. However, you'll need to prepare the ingredients yourself. I'll tell you what ingredients you need later, and you just need to find them according to my instructions. As long as you have enough ingredients, I guarantee I can refine the pills you need without any problems."

Fang Yu's words immediately silenced the powerful figures who had initially intended to seize the items. They then hurriedly thanked Fang Yu, their words of gratitude echoing throughout the room. Fang Yu then received a large batch of pill formulas and medicinal herbs, all of which these powerful figures had prepared beforehand. Although some of the herbs were incomplete, it didn't matter. As long as the herbs were all found, Fang Yu could help refine them, which was not a difficult task for him at all.

Fang Yu does indeed want to refine some pills now, to familiarize himself with his alchemy skills.

Soon, Yun Yun had collected all the pill formulas, medicinal herbs, and pills left behind by the powerful figures and other alchemists. There were over a hundred pill formulas alone. As for the medicinal herbs, they were unimaginably numerous, exceeding anything Yun Yun had ever seen in her life. Even if she emptied the Yunlan Sect's warehouse, she still wouldn't have been able to gather such a large quantity of herbs.

There were even more pills needed, hundreds of them in total. But these pills were not a problem for Fang Yu. These pills came in all shapes and sizes, some for improving cultivation levels, some for increasing lifespan, some for healing injuries, and some for all sorts of strange effects. In short, Fang Yu knew all of these effects and was able to refine them. The first problem was that the medicinal materials were insufficient. Therefore, he quickly organized the necessary medicinal materials and the powerful individuals and forces in charge of the materials and handed them over to Yun Yun, asking her to distribute these things to the right people.

I believe that a great war caused by medicinal herbs will soon break out throughout the Black Corner Region, and this war will definitely be one after another.

Fang Yu ignored all of this, because he knew that if he could refine this batch of pills, he would become the number one person in the Black Corner Region.

……

"Young Master Xiao, when do you plan to go to the academy?"

After all the powerful alchemists left, the inner elder asked Fang Yu when he would go to the academy. This was the question the inner elder cared about the most, because that was why he had come.

"Let's wait until Xiao Yan has refined the strange fire I gave him."

Upon hearing that Xiao Yan was refining the strange fire, the inner courtyard elder was even more shocked. Of course, what shocked him the most was that Fang Yu had actually given the strange fire to Xiao Yan.

"There's no need to be so shocked. After all, we are related in some way. Besides, one kind of strange fire is enough for me. I don't need to refine a second one, so I'll just let him have it."

"I know your academy also has this, but it seems your academy's stuff is about to be out of control, isn't it?" Fang Yu's words shocked the inner elder to no end. He hadn't expected that Fang Yu would know such a big secret about their academy. Although he would have to tell Fang Yu about this sooner or later, he didn't expect to find out in advance, which naturally shocked him immensely.

"Alright, alright, there's no need to be so surprised. This isn't a big secret. I sensed that the strange fire in your inner courtyard was about to erupt when I arrived in the Black Corner Region. It's not something that's hard for me to detect." Fang Yu directly made up an excuse, and it was a very normal excuse that no one could find fault with, especially the elders of the inner courtyard.

Because he knew very well that Fang Yu's soul power was more than a hundred times greater than his own, as could be seen from the pill refining just now; Fang Yu's soul power far surpassed his own.

Under these circumstances, it would be quite normal for them to know that there was a strange fire in their inner courtyard.

"I see, I see. I was overthinking it. I never imagined that Young Master Xiao's soul power was so strong that he even knew about the strange fire in the inner courtyard. I wonder if Young Master Xiao has a way to solve this problem?"

"To be honest, there is a solution, but it depends on whether your inner courtyard is willing to give it up."

Fang Yu's words immediately ignited the inner elder's hope, and he quickly spoke up.

"Whatever Young Master Xiao desires, we will never refuse anything that our inner courtyard has. Young Master Xiao can rest assured."

"The solution is simple: refine that flame. In other words, your inner court needs to relinquish that flame; there is no other way. But don't worry, even if you refine that flame, I have a way to allow your inner court to obtain some more. Because in my perception, your inner court has more than one flame; there should be two. The other one is a nascent form, and you haven't discovered its existence yet. Otherwise, finding that nascent form and replacing it would perfectly solve this problem."

Fang Yu's words left the inner courtyard elder speechless with shock. He had never expected that there would be another one in their inner courtyard; it was something he never anticipated.

Of course, the most important thing was that Fang Yu's soul power was incredible to him. He did not expect that Fang Yu, who was so far away, would know so much about the situation in their inner courtyard.

This was completely beyond his imagination and completely beyond his expectations. He had never seen anyone with such powerful soul force as Fang Yu.

He felt that Fang Yu was definitely not a seventh-grade alchemist, and might even be an eighth-grade alchemist.

"Alright, alright, why are you so agitated? I didn't say it couldn't be solved. Didn't I tell you how? Why are you so surprised?"
