Douluo: Son of the Stars

Chapter 238 A small punishment but a big punishment
At the end of his words, a fierce and murderous look flashed across Yao Dan's old face. The majesty of a clan leader made people secretly awe-inspiring.

"Patriarch, is this inappropriate?"

Seeing that Yaodan actually allowed Hunxuzi to stay, the elders of the Medicine Clan around were suddenly shocked. Elder Wanhuo hesitated for a moment and spoke.

"The Pharmacopoeia is the most grand event in our Medicine Clan. In front of so many people, we can't expel people without reason. That would make people think that our Medicine Clan is arrogant. Although the Soul Clan needs to be on guard, but with so many people from the Medicine World gathered here today, are we afraid that someone will dare to mess around?"

Yao Dan waved his hand and said calmly: "I will keep a close eye on him later. If there is anything wrong with him, I will personally capture and kill him!"

Seeing Yaodan insisting, everyone could only nod.

"Master Yaodan is still very magnanimous." Hunxuzi chuckled, the corners of his lips slightly raised, a strange smile flashed quickly in his eyes, and then he moved, and appeared directly on a stone chair under the gazes of many people. This position was just not far from Xiao Yan and Yao Lao.

"Yao Chen, you have accepted a good disciple. Even though I am deep in the soul world, your name as a disciple is still as famous as thunder."

Sitting down on the stone chair, Hunxuzi turned his gaze and looked at Yao Lao, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said.

"Who can compare with the reputation that is as famous as thunder in the ears of the people, Hunxuzi, who betrayed his teacher and destroyed his ancestors?" Yao Lao smiled and shook his head.

"Well, I was born into the Soul Clan and have the blood of the Soul Clan. The matter of destroying my ancestors cannot be blamed on me. As for bullying my teacher, haha, I didn't recognize that old ghost as my teacher."

In response to Yao Lao's sarcastic words, Hunxuzi shook his head in a serious manner, then narrowed his eyes into a dangerous arc and said nonchalantly: "Yao Chen, the disciples you teach are really filial. I just don't know who created your body and how. I heard that it was a little kid who followed you before..."

Hearing this, Yao Lao's face suddenly turned gloomy. Xiao Yan on the side remained calm and smiled gently, but did not talk to him. Suddenly, Xiao Yan was stunned.

Only to see a figure suddenly shot out from the necklace in front of Xiao Yan, and in a flash, appeared beside Hunxuzi. The fierce wind from his legs was like a sharp giant blade, slashing down at the latter fiercely.

"Humph."

The sudden attack stunned even Hunxuzi for a moment. He seemed to have not expected Xiao Yan to be so ferocious. He ordered his men to attack without saying a word. However, he was not an ordinary person. He snorted coldly, and the space around him twisted. His figure disappeared mysteriously. When he appeared again, he was already on a stone chair in the distance.

"boom!"

The figure kicked the stone table and chair into powder, then stopped and looked at Hunxuzi indifferently.

Suddenly, blood started flowing out of Hunxuzi's seven orifices, and he fell to the ground with a blur in front of his eyes. Hunxuzi looked at the gradually disappearing figure in astonishment, and quickly took out a bottle of pills from his ring and swallowed them all.

The entire audience watched in silence as the figure disappeared from Xiao Yan's side, with the last words of that figure before he disappeared echoing in their ears.

"You little fellow who is not even a thousand years old, dares to offend me casually? I'll punish you as a warning. If you do it again, you'll be a tool for making medicine for the rest of your life. Haha, that's your favorite thing to do, isn't it?"

Xiao Yan held the jade cup in his hand, and the pretty maid beside him immediately came up and filled it with the fragrant medicinal wine prepared by the Medicine Clan. He took a sip and then smiled leisurely, "Those who betray their master and are disloyal should stay away from me. Otherwise, I will hear something I shouldn't hear and offend someone I shouldn't offend."

"Haha, what a great Xiao Yan."

On the stone chair in the distance, Hunxuzi's complexion became slightly rosy, and a smile appeared on his face. His smile was cold and chilling. He stared at Xiao Yan, and a terrifying energy wave slowly spread out from his body, causing many Medicine Clan elders to change their expressions slightly.

"Hunxuzi, today is the grand ceremony of my medicine clan. No violence is allowed. Anyone who violates the rules will be expelled from the medicine world." Yaodan, who had been sitting in the first seat and ignored the fight between the two, raised his head and said lightly at this time.

"Haha, since the leader of the Yaodan clan has spoken, of course he has to obey."

Hearing this, the grim smile on Hunxuzi's face condensed slightly, and then soon expanded. However, the cold light in his eyes became more and more intense. This old ghost did not speak when Xiao Yan attacked, but came out to show fairness when Xiao Yan was about to fight back. It was obvious that he wanted to give Xiao Yan a blow in front of these people.

"What a medicine clan." Hunxuzi sneered in his heart, and his eyes became more and more weird.

Yao Dan did not pay attention to Hun Xuzi's expression. His eyes slowly swept around. When they passed Xiao Yan, he paused for a moment, and then a calm voice slowly spread out, like a muffled thunder, resounding between heaven and earth.

"The time has come for the Pharmacopoeia to begin!"

The Yao Clan, which started with alchemy refining, owns the largest group of alchemists on the mainland. Although the Yao Clan will have some arrogance in their hearts when facing the alchemists from Zhongzhou, it has to be said that this arrogance, Backed by capital.

Perhaps because of their bloodline, the members of the Medicine Clan are particularly adept at practicing alchemy, and there is no shortage of people with outstanding natural talents in the clan. Therefore, those alchemy masters who are famous in Zhongzhou are not to be found in large numbers in the Medicine Clan, but they are at least common. With such capital, it is inevitable that they feel proud when compared with other alchemists.

Of course, this only refers to the middle level of the alchemist class. The medicine clan has not gained much advantage compared to other places in the real part of the alchemist pyramid. After all, although the power of blood allows them to be adept at alchemy, it is impossible for them to reach the top of the alchemy world by relying on it alone. Sometimes, even this kind of talent will become an obstacle for them to move to the top level.

This may be regarded as a slight drawback of the power of blood.

Alchemists are divided into grades one to nine, with grade one being the lowest and grade nine being the highest. And grade nine alchemist masters are divided into three levels: treasure elixir master, mysterious elixir master, and golden elixir master!
Today, Xiao Yan, when he last refined the ninth-grade precious pill, was already at the level of a precious pill master. Of course, this had not been verified by any organization. At this level, no single force could verify their level anymore, because they were the top people in the alchemy world.

The Xuandan Grandmaster is basically the most top-notch existence in the alchemy world on this continent, and their number can be counted on one's fingers. As for the Jindan Grandmaster, no one has been able to reach that level for nearly a thousand years, because no one has been able to refine the ninth-grade golden elixir.

Tong Rui might be able to calculate according to the Supreme Heaven, and use every bit of the medicinal power of the elixir to the extreme, while using the hundreds of thousands of years of medicinal materials in the small universe to refine it. Above the Golden Pill Grandmaster is the legendary Emperor Grade, which is the ultimate and no one can reach it. Even if Xiao Yan is in the upper realm in the future.
For most of the people present, the foreplay of the Pharmacopoeia made them watch it with great interest. The younger generation among the medicine clan indeed has talents that ordinary alchemists covet. The person who takes the stage is They are all at least at the level of sixth-grade alchemist or higher, and the cauldrons rising at the moment are particularly spectacular.

Of course, for Xiao Yan and others, refining medicine at this level is like a group of adults watching children fight. There is no place to watch, so the whole square is because of the elixirs in the field. At this time, they could only close their eyes and rest.

This foreplay in the Pharmacopoeia lasted for several days and then gradually came to an end. Fortunately, the people here were not ordinary people. For several days, many people did not even move their bodies.

When the foreplay of the pharmacopoeia came to an end, Xiao Yan's eyes slowly opened and looked at the young people of the Medicine Clan. He nodded slightly. After observing for the past few days, he could see the strength of the Medicine Clan. Many of the young people possessed extremely high talents.

If there is a good opportunity in the future, he will be able to have a place in the alchemy world. With such excellent fresh blood, the medicine clan will be able to continue to prosper.

Of course, this naturally has limits. As time goes by, if there are no more powerful Dou Emperors in the Yao Clan, then their bloodline power will gradually dry up like the Xiao Clan. At that time , the Medicine Clan may be no different from ordinary humans.

Of course, although that time will come, it is still quite a long time ago after all. Thinking about it now is a bit unfounded.

During these few days of observation, Xiao Yan also saw some familiar figures. Yao Xingji, who once gave Xiao Yan an invitation letter to the Pharmacopoeia, was also discovered by him. Now, after several years of practice, the latter has made great progress in alchemy.

At this Pharmacopoeia Conference, he also squeezed into the top five, which was a good result. As for the first place, it was not unexpectedly won by the man named Yao Tian whom Xiao Yan met outside the Demon Fire Space. He should be the most outstanding person among the younger generation of the Medicine Clan. The pills he refined actually attracted the nine-colored pill thunder, overwhelming all the heroes. Even some elders of the Medicine Clan were grinning from ear to ear.

However, when their eyes accidentally caught sight of Xiao Yan who was resting with his eyes closed beside Yao Lao, the smug smiles that had just risen up on their faces suddenly disappeared, and soon turned into depression. They had heard rumors a long time ago that Xiao Yan was already able to refine ninth-grade elixirs, but the elixir thunder he attracted was the more powerful black magic thunder. In comparison, Yao Tian's nine-colored elixir thunder seemed a lot dimmer.

At the moment when the test of the younger generation of the medicine clan was completed, the atmosphere on the square not only did not calm down, but suddenly became hot. Almost scalding gazes jumped across the field and finally all were cast on the stone chairs. They understood that the highlight of the pharmacopoeia was these big figures who stood at the top of the medicine refining world.

"Haha, it's finally started." At this moment, Yao Lao slowly opened his eyes, feeling the sudden warming of the venue, and smiled.

Xiao Yan also smiled slightly and gently rubbed the jade cup with his palm. After watching this for several days, he unconsciously felt a little itchy.

"Besides you, the final highlight should be Hunxuzi, old man Shennong and elder Wanhuo. These three are no pushovers. In terms of seniority, even I am far behind them." said Yao Lao.

"Why don't you take the medicinal pill?" Xiao Yan glanced at the medicinal pill on the first table and said.

"As the head of the clan, he naturally has some pride." Yao Lao smiled, and then said solemnly: "But his alchemy skills are not weaker than any of you four."

"The Patriarch of the Medicine Clan, the leader of the largest group of alchemists on the Douqi Continent, will not be able to convince others if he does not have some skills." Xiao Yan said with a smile. He naturally understood this principle, and no matter how arrogant he was, he probably would not be so careless as to underestimate a terrifying strong man who had the strength of a seven-star Dou Sheng.

While Xiao Yan and Yao Lao were talking in low voices, Yao Dan, who was sitting in the first place, slowly stood up. At this moment, the eyes of the whole audience were focused on him.

"Haha, after the appetizers, it's time for the main event. I understand what you're thinking."

Facing the gaze of the whole audience, Yao Dan smiled faintly and said, "There are a total of four people competing in this Pharmacopoeia Conference. Even if I don't say much about these four people, you should all know that the final winner will take away the title of the continent's number one alchemist. I think that the person who can win here and get this title should not be dissatisfied or opposed."

"Four of you, please come in."

"Haha, Yaodan clan leader is quite straightforward. I have heard for a long time that the Pharmacopoeia is a gathering of the most top alchemists in Douqi Continent. I came here today to ask for your advice! The title of the number one alchemist in this continent is of interest to my Soul Clan, so I would like to take it back."

As soon as Yao Dan finished speaking, Hun Xuzi's figure appeared first in the mid-air of the venue like a ghost, with a hint of domineering tone in his plain laughter.

"Hmph, the Medicine Clan is a clan that refines medicine. Perhaps it would be better for this title to remain with the Medicine Clan!" Elder Wanhuo snorted coldly, his figure flashed, and he also appeared in mid-air, staring at Hunxuzi without backing down.

As soon as Elder Wanhuo appeared, he attracted bursts of cheers from around him. This was the home of the Medicine Clan. Naturally, they were not happy to see people from the Soul Clan take away this extremely glorious sign for them. .

“Although I don’t have much desire for such false reputation, if the title of the continent’s number one alchemist falls on your head, it will be a great shame for alchemists of my generation.”

Old man Shennong stepped on the void, and shook the crutch in his hand that looked like it was woven with herbs, causing the jade bottles on it to collide and make crisp sounds. He was also floating in the sky, and his tone was neither salty nor cold, but it was obvious that he was extremely disliked by Hunxuzi. After all, the reputation of the Hun clan in the hearts of alchemists was really bad.

"Elder Wanhuo, Hunxuzi, and Shennong, these three are definitely giants in the current alchemy world. This competition is going to be interesting!"

Looking at the three people in the sky, there was a sudden commotion in the square. The eyes of countless alchemists were filled with enthusiasm. The level reached by the three people above was their lifelong pursuit!
Hunxuzi glanced at Elder Wanhuo and Old Man Shennong, smiled slightly, and put his hands behind his back, revealing the bearing of a master. Not to mention his character, Hunxuzi's attainments in alchemy are indeed daunting.

"Three people have appeared, so who is the last one?"

Countless eyes flickered over the three people, then suddenly shifted together and all stopped on the black-shirted young man on the stone chair.

Under the gaze of so many eyes, Xiao Yan stood up slowly with a smile on his face. His figure trembled, an afterimage flashed, and his figure also appeared in the sky, and a clear laughter spread out.

"I have heard for a long time that Senior Hunxuzi once stole skills from Danta. Now Danta is also an ally of Xingyun Pavilion. As a member of the alliance, Xiao Yan would like to ask Senior Hunxuzi for advice on behalf of Danta! I hope you can give me some advice!"

Tong Rui watched the four people's competition and began to adjust his own weapons. After all, everything was different after this pharmacopoeia.
