Asura Continent

The Western Chu Nation was vast, especially in the vast mountain forests of the Southwest. There were many precious herbs that could not be seen elsewhere.

This place was also known as the medicinal garden of the Immortal Cultivation World. Many alchemists would come here to look for medicinal herbs, either to buy them with spirit stones or to trade. This was a place rich with medicinal herbs, but the spirit energy was not as dense as he had imagined. Indeed, none of the ten great sects had established their own sects here.

Several thousand years ago, there were many alchemy clans here. For various reasons, some clans left, and some clans exterminated their clans during the war. Only the Chen Clan remained. There were two reasons. One was that besides pill refining, there were also a few powerful cultivators and a few Core Formation cultivators.

As for the other reason, it was very simple. The Chen Clan's previous Patriarchs were all very hospitable. They treated people well and got to know many powerful rogue cultivators. Those rogue cultivators had all received benefits from the Chen family. If the Chen family was in trouble, these rogue cultivators would come to their aid without hesitation. It was because of these two reasons that the Chen family became more and more powerful, and vaguely became the number one clan in the cultivation world.

On this day, the two arrived at the sky above the northwest mountain range. Looking at the seemingly endless mountain range that looked like a giant dragon sitting cross-legged, Lu Yang sighed and said, "What a great mountain range. However, there are many precious medicinal herbs growing in the mountain range. If one wants to learn alchemy here, it can be said that the results are twice the result with half the effort. "

Chen Xiaowan was surprised, she looked at Lu Yang in surprise and said, "You've learned alchemy?"

"Nope." Lu Yang shook his head and didn't hide anything as he said truthfully, "Back then, before I started cultivating, the grandfather that took me in was a teacher. He also knew how to refine medicine, so I learned some of them. "As for pill forging, I haven't learned it. But I know all of the valuable medicinal herbs in the mortal world..."

Chen Wan'er nodded and looked down at the forest below her feet. "Actually, there are only so many precious herbs. The ingredients needed to refine and refine pills are all similar, but the method of refinement is different. If you understand the medicinal properties of all the herbs, learning the art of alchemy won't be difficult." At this point, she paused and said, "Lu Yang, do you want to learn alchemy?"

Lu Yang, however, thought about it. He was silent for a while before he said, "I wonder if there's a chance."

Hearing this, Chen Wan'er smiled. With a smile like a flower, she said, "Of course there's a chance. Don't forget who my father is. If you want to learn how to refine pills, I can teach you the basics of common sense. Once you have mastered it, I'll get my father to teach you. "

Lu Yang was a little touched and said, "How can that be? It's already difficult for me to stay in the Chen family to cultivate. If I were to learn alchemy, wouldn't that mean …"

Chen Xiaowan couldn't allow Lu Yang to speak, so she interrupted him, "It's fine, don't think too much. I won't be able to return to the Nine Mystical Sect anyway. I'll refine pills with you in the future."

As the two spoke, they had already reached the depths of the mountain range. A thousand miles ahead, they could vaguely see a pagoda standing on the flat ground.

Suddenly, a ray of light shot into the sky from the forest and arrived before the two in the blink of an eye.

It was a young man in his twenties. He was handsome, had an imposing air, and wore a yellow long robe. This person's cultivation was not low, he had already reached Qi Disciple level 10. From the aura he was emitting, it seemed that he could break through at any time. If one looked closely, this person looked a little similar to Chen Xiaowan. It could be seen that he was either a member of the Chen family or a relative of the Chen family.

Wang Pengfei blocked the duo's path. After he clearly saw the duo's faces, he was slightly startled as he asked, "Cousin, you're not in the Nine Mystical Sect. Why are you back?"

"It's boring for me to stay there, so I'm going back to the clan." A flash of disgust appeared in Chen Xiaowan's eyes, neither cold nor warm, "What, is there a problem?"

Wang Pengfei glanced at Lu Yang with eyes full of hostility and asked, "Who is he?"

"He's my friend." Chen Xiaowan looked at him indifferently, then pulled Lu Yang's hand, "Come, I'll take you to see father …"

Seeing such intimate action, Wang Pengfei's face darkened. He angrily said, "Cousin, don't you know that without my permission, outsiders cannot enter the family?"

"Your permission?" Chen Xiaowan glanced at the jade pendant on Wang Pengfei's waist, and said in her heart, "After a few years, you became the Chen family's guard commander?" But so what? Don't use your status to suppress me. Today, I'm taking him to see father, what can you do to us? "

With that, Chen Xiaowan pulled Lu Yang's hand and was about to fly away.

Wang Pengfei moved in a flash to block in front of the two of them. He glared at Lu Yang and said word by word: "Kid, what is your relationship with your cousin? Call me honestly!"

Lu Yang knew that they had misunderstood and wanted to explain, but Chen Xiaowan said, "Since you want to know, then I'll tell you. She's my fiancé."

"What?" Wang Pengfei widened his eyes as he lost some of his reason and roared, "Impossible, the Patriarch won't marry you to him. Even if he wants to marry you, he'll have to marry me. You're my fiancee …"

Chen Xiaoxian coldly snorted, "Wang Pengfei, don't think that I don't know. If you want to be with me, aren't you attracted by my beauty?" She paused, then said word by word, "Let me ask you, if one day I become ugly and disfigured, will you still love me? Will you marry me? Answer me in your heart. "

Wang Pengfei was stunned. A complicated look flashed across his eyes as he said, "I know …"

Chen Xiaowei laughed and snorted disdainfully, saying, "You only answered after thinking about it for so long. It seems like you still care about my appearance."

Wang Pengfei did not dwell on this topic. He also knew that he was in the wrong, so he pointed at Lu Yang and said, "Then what about him!? Isn't he interested in your beauty? "

"He won't." Chen Xiaowan said affirmatively, "It's not that he was chasing after me, but that I was chasing after him. If he values my beauty, do I still need to pursue him?"

"What? You pursued him?" Wang Pengfei was stunned once again. He really couldn't think of anything. Lu Yang's appearance was ordinary, and his cultivation was not high either. How could he make Chen Xiaowan pursue him?

Wang Pengfei did not believe it, he did not believe that Lu Yang was better than him. He said, "Since you said he is outstanding, according to the clan's rules, he must compete with me."

"Compete in what?" Chen Wan'er's face sank, "He just came here, and is a guest of our Chen family. Do you treat him like this?"

Wang Pengfei was also a stubborn person. He had to do whatever he wanted to do, so he said, "I don't care. If he doesn't compete with me today, then he can forget about entering the Chen family."

Chen Xiaowang was about to speak when Lu Yang raised his hand and interrupted her, "What do you want to compete for?"

"Competing in pill refining." Wang Pengfei didn't even think before saying, "If I want to be the son-in-law of the Chen family, I need to be a powerful alchemist. Now, I can become a Tier 1 alchemist."

A Tier 1 alchemist must have a Qi Cultivating Stage cultivation, while a Tier 2 alchemist must at least have a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation.

However, cultivators with this level of cultivation may not necessarily be alchemists of the same level as them. This was because only by refining a tier 2 pill could one be considered a tier 2 alchemist. Pill forging was extremely difficult. Not only did he have to master pill forging techniques, he also had to master fire. As long as he made a mistake, a cauldron of pills would be destroyed. Without many years of experience, it would be difficult for him to become a qualified apothecary.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaowei's temper flared up. "He's not even an alchemist. Don't you think it's bullying him to compare yourself with this?"

Wang Pengfei curled his lips and looked at Lu Yang with disdain. He mocked, "Then what can I compete with him for? His cultivation level is so low, could it be that you want me to compete with him in magic techniques?"

"Then let's compete in magic!" Lu Yang also felt that Wang Pengfei was being too excessive and suddenly said this.

Wang Pengfei sneered and snorted disdainfully, "Your cultivation is too low, how can I compete with you?"

Lu Yang pointed at the two ancient trees not far away and said, "Did you see him with two trees? A spell turned it into wood splinters, what do you think? "

Hearing this, Wang Pengfei was stunned. He raised his head and looked in the direction that Lu Yang was pointing. There were two huge trees growing there, and they were as thick as a few adults. For such a thick tree, it was not difficult for a spell to defeat it. However, it was impossible for it to shatter the tree.

Wang Pengfei glanced at Lu Yang. Seeing that he was full of confidence, he said rather unhappily, "You can do it?"

"You can't do it?" Lu Yang asked.

Wang Pengfei truly could not do it. He did not believe that Lu Yang could do it either as he coldly said, "You don't need the capital to boast. If you can do it, I, I … I'll let you into the family. On the other hand, if you are unable to do so, then stay far away from cousin in the future. I do not wish to see you two together again. "

Wang Pengfei wanted to say, "If you can do it, I'll admit your relationship."

But thinking about it in the blink of an eye, this bet was too big. If Lu Yang really could do it, he also wouldn't have a chance to regret it.

Lu Yang had already seen through Wang Pengfei's thoughts, so he didn't argue with him. He lifted his right hand and released a spiritual energy palm.

Seeing such a low level spell, Wang Pengfei curled his lips. He did not believe that this spell could turn such a thick ancient tree into wood dust. However, the next moment, something that Wang Pengfei could not even dream of happened. With a loud bang, the ancient tree collapsed, turning into countless sawdust that floated down.

Wang Pengfei widened his eyes as he could not believe the scene in front of him. He cried out involuntarily, "Impossible, how is this possible …" He wanted to ask Lu Yang how he did it, but the two of them were already far away. After hesitating for a while, Wang Pengfei didn't chase after it. He arrived at the place where the ancient tree had collapsed in a flash. He was extremely surprised when he couldn't find even a single piece of wood that was as fast as the one that fell from the sky.

The place where the Chen Family clansmen lived was a huge basin. Rows of neat houses were built in the basin and most of them were side yards. Right in the middle, there was a circular plaza with enough space to accommodate 10,000 people. In front of the plaza, there was a large hall. At the back of the hall was a huge mansion. This was where the Chen family's patriarchs and elders cultivated their alchemy pills.

Chen Xiaowang pulled Lu Yang's hand onto the square, and the surrounding Chen family cultivators, who were guarding the square, clasped their fists and said, "Third Miss …"

"Where's father?" Chen Xiaowan nodded her head and asked one of the guards.

That guard pointed to the main hall and said, "Third Miss, the Patriarch is currently discussing important matters with the clan's elders."

Chen Xiaowan waved her hand at the guard, and immediately held onto Lu Yang's hand. They crossed the arch bridge in front of the square and quickly walked towards the main hall.
