When I first entered high school, the system insisted that I was destined to be an emperor in my lat

"What?!"

Upon hearing Jiang Feng's words, Long Yuan froze on the spot.

This veteran martial arts expert, who had led the Linchuan Martial Arts Association for decades and had seen countless storms, stared wide-eyed at the young man before him. His lips trembled for a long time before he finally managed to utter a single sentence:

"You...you're not kidding, are you?"

Thirty years have passed.

The venomous dragon beast's poison had lingered in his meridians and bone marrow for thirty years, keeping his cultivation firmly at the fifth rank, unable to advance an inch.

He consulted all the alchemists in the provincial capital and the famous doctors in the army, and everyone came to the same conclusion.

It's fortunate that the toxins were suppressed.

Remove it? That's wishful thinking.

But what if... what if it could really be cured?

With his talent, without this insidious burden, he would never be trapped at the fifth rank!

Before he turned sixty, with his vitality still strong, he even had the chance to knock on that door he never dared to dream of.

The sixth rank!

Thinking of this, Long Yuan's body trembled slightly.

Without wasting any words, Jiang Feng took out a prescription from his pocket and handed it over.

Long Yuan took it with both hands and looked down at it.

[Fifth Grade - Nine Yang Detoxifying Pill: This medicine uses the most yang-tonified herbs as its principal ingredient and the intense yang fire as its guide. It is specifically designed to counteract the most potent and corrosive toxins in the world, eradicating all deep-seated yin toxins below the sixth grade, eliminating them at their root and eliminating their origin.]

Extreme Yang overcomes Yin poison... eradicates the root cause...

"Okay...okay..."

Long Yuan's hand, gripping the pill formula, trembled violently. "That's right... my poison is a bone-corroding, yin-cold poison! This Nine Yang Poison-Dissolving Pill can heal my poison wounds!"

However, after the excitement subsided, a more practical question arose in my mind.

"A fifth-grade pill can only be refined by a fifth-grade alchemist."

"Looking around Linchuan City, we can't even find a fourth-grade alchemist. I'm afraid... we'll have to go to the provincial capital to ask for help."

Jiang Feng seemed to have seen through his doubts and said, "President, there's no need to worry. I have a close friend who is an alchemist."

"He has an exceptional talent for alchemy, and has only been involved in alchemy for a little over a month."

Long Yuan was taken aback: "January?"

Jiang Feng nodded, "But now, he can already refine a fourth-grade Breakthrough Pill."

"What?!"

Long Yuan gasped.

In the art of alchemy, it is common to take ten years to get started and twenty years to achieve minor success.

A fourth-grade pill can be refined in a month.

This isn't just a genius, this is a prodigy who could grow into a ninth-grade medicine emperor in the future!

"Give him some time, and he will definitely be able to refine the Nine Yang Detoxification Pill."

"Is he your Jishetang's alchemist?!"

Long Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

Jiang Feng nodded.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Long Yuan laughed loudly, his laughter devoid of any trace of his former weariness, filled only with unbridled joy!

"good!"

"I entrust my life to you!"

After thinking for a moment, he took out a key from his pocket and put it into Jiang Feng's palm.

"This is the key to my personal cultivation room."

"You'll be preparing for the Three Cities League. From today onwards, that training room is yours to use."

Before Jiang Feng could refuse, he added solemnly, "Furthermore, you may choose any one of the martial arts techniques, skills, or weapons from the Martial Arts Association's treasury to take with you, regardless of level!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng was overjoyed.

The Martial Arts Association's treasure trove is the wealth accumulated by the Linchuan City government over decades, far surpassing the Green Dragon Society's meager collection!

Choose any subject, regardless of level!

This gesture is undeniably significant.

"Then thank you very much, Chairman!"

Jiang Feng didn't stand on ceremony and accepted the gift with a fist and palm salute.

Then, Long Yuan made several phone calls on the spot, finalizing the matter for tonight.

The Qinglong Society colluded with forces outside the province to plot to create chaos in Linchuan City. The evidence was conclusive, and the Martial Arts Association swiftly wiped them out.

All the territories and properties under the Qinglong Society were transferred to the Jiang Group.

Clean and neat, without a single leak.

That night, the news spread like wildfire throughout Linchuan City overnight.

An earthquake struck the martial arts community in Linchuan.

The Qinglong Society, which had dominated Linchuan City for decades, vanished overnight.

On the surface, it was the martial arts association that took action.

But everyone in this industry is shrewd and calculating.

Why did the Martial Arts Association have to make its move now, right when the Green Dragon Society offended the Jishetang?

Anyone could see that the one who actually did the dirty work was that eighteen-year-old boy!

In no time, the name Jiang Feng came into the view of the upper echelons of martial arts families in Linchuan City.

The Jin family, the Tie family, the Mo family, the Wang family, the Song family...

One by one, families with centuries-old traditions began studying Jiang Feng's intelligence overnight.

Meanwhile, in the study of the Xiao family villa.

Xiao Tianhe sat behind his desk, clutching a piece of intelligence that had been delivered overnight, the paper crumpled in his hand.

"Jiang Feng... killed Long Teng, a half-step fifth-rank expert?"

"This...how is this possible?!"

He muttered to himself, his face filled with disbelief.

A month ago, that boy was just a poor kid in his eyes.

How could they grow up so fast!

Standing to the side, Old Tang sighed and bowed, saying, "Patriarch, the Martial Arts Association's announcement has been issued. The Azure Dragon Society's territory has been transferred to the Jiang Group."

"Going forward, the Jiang Group will inevitably focus on the elixir business."

"Our Huichuntang... is probably going to be the first to be affected."

Xiao Tianhe's expression grew increasingly grim.

During this period, Jishetang was suppressed by the Qinglong Society in every way.

He couldn't wait to see Jishetang close down so that Huichuntang could monopolize the elixir market in Linchuan.

Who would have thought.

That kid stormed right up to their door and wiped out the Azure Dragon Society!

That's just a business dispute!

And then you turned around and wiped out their entire family?

That's something a high school student shouldn't do!

"Old Tang."

"Tell me... just how strong is this kid?"

Elder Tang remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking: "That Long Teng is a half-step fifth-grade cultivator. I also received news that he recently obtained a fifth-grade pill and is currently in seclusion attempting to break through to the fifth-grade Grandmaster level."

"But he died at Jiang Feng's hands."

"This means that Jiang Feng's current strength... is already comparable to a fifth-grade Grandmaster!"

"I have practiced martial arts for forty years, and although I have been fortunate enough to reach the fourth rank, I am afraid I cannot withstand even one move from him."

The study was deathly silent.

Xiao Tianhe slumped into his chair, and after a long while, he let out a long sigh.

Regret overwhelmed my heart like a tidal wave.

Why did he look down on Jiang Feng in the first place?

A poor boy with no background or family connections is not good enough for his daughter!

He remembered that back in the hospital, he had condescendingly handed the boy a check for 100,000 yuan, telling him to stay away from his daughter.

Ha ha.

That's absolutely ridiculous!

"Old Tang."

Xiao Tianhe closed his eyes briefly, and when he opened them again, only determination remained in them.

"Prepare a generous gift; I will personally go to Jishetang first thing tomorrow morning."

"in addition……"

"Call Wan Ning back. She and Jiang Feng were classmates. Let the young people get to know each other better."

"it is good."

Old Tang bowed and withdrew.

In the study, Xiao Tianhe gazed silently at the night outside the window for a long time.

He only hoped that it wasn't too late to back down.
