Battle Through the Heavens: He marries Xun'er, but she refuses to consummate the marriage!

The endless fragrance of herbs permeated the air above the vast medicinal fields.

The bustling crowd completely surrounded the plaza that was suspended in mid-air.

As a long-established alchemy family on the Dou Qi Continent, the Medicine Clan can't help but feel a bit arrogant even when facing those self-proclaimed top alchemists in Zhongzhou.

However, this arrogance does not stem from unfounded conceit, but is supported by real strength.

Perhaps due to their bloodline, the disciples of the Medicine Clan always seemed exceptionally adept at cultivating alchemy.

After all, the unique power flowing in their blood gives them an almost instinctive insight into the properties of medicine.

The Medicine Clan also boasts many individuals with outstanding talent and exceptional abilities, which provides a solid foundation for the Medicine Clan to secure a place in the world of alchemy.

After all,

Although bloodline power can help the disciples of the Medicine Clan to make further progress in alchemy, relying solely on bloodline is far from enough if they want to reach the pinnacle of the alchemy world.

In the hierarchy of alchemists, those at the very top are extremely rare, few and far between, regardless of the faction.

Throughout the entire Dou Qi Continent, alchemists are divided into nine ranks, with rank one being the lowest and rank nine the highest. Among the nine ranks of alchemists, there are three levels: Grandmaster of Precious Pills, Grandmaster of Profound Pills, and Grandmaster of Golden Pills, representing different realms of alchemy skill.

In fact, Gu Fei had already reached the level of a ninth-grade treasure pill master many years ago.

Now, Gu Fei's strength is approaching the level of a ninth-grade Xuan Dan master, but he has not yet officially refined a Xuan Dan.

Before the pharmacopoeia officially begins, as is customary, the younger generation of the medicine clan will first engage in a competition and exchange of skills.

For a powerhouse like Gu Fei, watching these young people compete was like an adult watching children play house.

"Yo ho."

Gu Fei's lips curled up slightly.

It seems that among this group of young disciples of the Medicine Clan, there are quite a few who can catch Gu Fei's attention.

The young man named Yao Tian performed exceptionally well.

As the undisputed number one prodigy of the Medicine Clan, Yao Tian's aptitude and understanding of alchemy far surpass those of his peers.

However, comparing him to Gu Fei is like comparing a firefly to the moon; they are not even in the same league.

With the conclusion of the final youth group match, all eyes were on the stage.

Yao Dan stood with his hands behind his back, surveying the dark crowd below, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the appetizers are finished, and I'm sure you're all eager to see today's main event."

"This Pharmacopoeia Conference will feature a competition between four of the most outstanding alchemists on the Dou Qi Continent. The ultimate victor will be crowned the 'Number One Alchemist on the Continent.' I believe no one will object to whoever emerges victorious."

Although Yao Dan's voice was calm, it conveyed the composure of someone in a superior position.

As Yao Dan finished speaking, four figures appeared out of thin air in mid-air above the plaza.

The leader, dressed in a black robe with a gloomy face, was none other than Hun Xuzi from the Soul Clan.

"Hehe, Clan Chief Yaodan is indeed straightforward. I have long admired the reputation of the Pharmacopoeia, and today I have come specifically to seek guidance from you experts, and also to bring back the title of 'Number One Alchemist on the Continent' to the Soul Clan."

This guy looked around at everyone with a mocking smile on his face and a hint of arrogance in his tone.

"Soul Void Child, although your Soul Clan is skilled in alchemy, in terms of medicinal refinement, you are probably slightly inferior to my Medicine Clan. This title is more suitable to remain in the Medicine Clan."

Upon hearing this, Elder Wanhuo of the Medicine Clan snorted coldly, his figure flashed to appear in front of Hunxuzi, and confronted him without showing any weakness.

At that moment, the tension in the room reached its peak.

Originally, the Yao Dan clan chief was qualified to participate in this competition, but in order to maintain the reputation of the Yao clan, he chose to remain on the sidelines and leave the opportunity to another highly respected alchemy master in the clan, Elder Wan Huo.

Just as everyone's attention was drawn to the tense standoff, a dazzling golden figure stepped through the air. Upon seeing the newcomer's face, many people gasped.

"That's Gu Fei! The young patriarch of the Gu clan!"

All eyes were immediately drawn to Gu Fei.

After all, Gu Fei hadn't given Hun Xuzi any face at all.

This is going to be interesting!

Gu Fei remained calm, as if none of this concerned him.

"Heh, even someone like Hun Xuzi has come along, so naturally I, Gu Fei, have to join in the fun!!!"

Gu Fei stood with his hands behind his back in the void, his gaze seemingly casually glancing at Hun Xuzi beside him, his tone calm yet tinged with a hint of mockery.

To be honest, Gu Fei was quite domineering at that moment.

Hun Xuzi was so choked up that he couldn't utter a word.

Gu Fei's words were like a thunderclap in the crowd, immediately causing an uproar.

"Hahaha"

"This young master Gu Fei of the ancient clan certainly speaks with confidence!"

"Yeah, he made that old man Hun Xuzi's face turn green with anger."

"If I were Hun Xuzi, I'd want to crawl into a hole and disappear!"

In an instant, various mocking voices came from outside the arena.

Hun Xuzi's gloomy face instantly turned bright red, and he glared at Gu Fei with murderous intent, but dared not make a move rashly.

After all, he knew that Gu Fei was not someone to be trifled with.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the four alchemy masters each arrived at their respective alchemy platforms.

The alchemy platform was ancient and simple, made of extraordinary materials, and surrounded by mysterious magic arrays. It was clearly an instrument that the Medicine Clan had prepared with great effort.

The first to make a move was none other than Hun Xuzi, whose shortcomings had been exposed by Gu Fei in public.

With a flick of his wrist, a ball of jet-black flame shot into the air and burned fiercely in his palm.

The flames exuded a captivating aura, as if they could devour everything in the world.

"That's... the sub-flame of the Void Devouring Flame!"

Shennong, the old man, narrowed his eyes and frowned.

Upon hearing this name, a glint flashed in Gu Fei's eyes.

He had long coveted this Void Devouring Flame.

If we can take this opportunity to devour some of it, perhaps we can also give Xiao Ying that terrifying devouring power.

In contrast, the strange fire unleashed by Shennong, though equally dazzling, lacked that oppressive, heart-pounding feeling.

It was a flame, blue with a hint of gold, its flames seemingly brimming with boundless vitality, possessing an indescribable harmony and life force.

"The Flame of Life, ranked fifth on the list of extraordinary flames. I never expected to see this legendary top-tier extraordinary flame."

The crowd erupted in discussion again.

On the Medicine Clan's side, Elder Wanhuo also revealed his trump card without showing any weakness.

The ball of fire that ignited in his hand was entirely blue, surrounded by strange and eerie flames, making it look both bizarre and beautiful.

"The Nine Nether Wind Flame, though not as powerful as the Void Devouring Flame and the Flame of Life, is still a rare and precious exotic flame."

"That's right, it's one of the top-ranked exotic flames on the Dou Qi Continent!" (End of Chapter)
