Battle Through the Heavens: The Beginning of the Dou Sheng Inheritance

Chapter 227 Fear of Power, Not Fear of Virtue

At the head of the crowd was an old man dressed in an alchemist's robe. On the chest of the robe was a badge depicting a medicine cauldron, with five shimmering silver ripples on it. As the robe fluttered, it radiated light, which was quite dazzling.

A fifth-grade alchemist! That's incredible! I really didn't recognize his talent!

Gazing at the badge that represented a kind of honor, the people coming and going in the hall immediately stopped in their tracks, their faces filled with awe and envy.

Fu Yan then led a large group of men to Xiao Jue's side with an imposing air. The old man glanced at Xue Mei, then squinted at Xiao Jue, turning to the pale-faced Obama beside him and asking, "Was it this guy who did it?"

"Yes, teacher, I was competing with Xue Mei to buy a medicinal herb, intending to refine it into a pill as a birthday gift for you. But I never expected that this girl would forcibly take the herb away and beat me so badly that I'm like this. Teacher, you must do justice!"

Upon hearing Fu Yan's question, Obama immediately put on a mournful face and replied, of course, at such a moment, he naturally had to find an extremely high-sounding reason for himself.

Xiao Jue tilted his head slightly, his gaze sweeping towards a corner of the hall, and said calmly, "President Fa Ma, if you continue to hide on the sidelines and watch the show, this matter may not end so easily today."

In the spacious hall, everyone was stunned when they heard Xiao Jue's words, and then turned their heads to look at a certain place.

Under the watchful eyes of so many people in the hall, a helpless laugh rang out from the shadows, and then an old figure slowly emerged, finally appearing before everyone's eyes. Judging from his appearance, he was none other than Fa Ma, the president of the Alchemist Guild!

Beside Fama, Vice President Mitchell followed closely, smiling and gesturing to Xiao Jue.

Under everyone's gaze, the elderly man who headed the Alchemists' Guild of the Gama Empire smiled and said to Xiao Jue in a rather amiable manner, "Xiao Jue, it's been two years. How have you been?"

Xiao Jue nodded. "It's alright."

Fa Ma's attitude naturally surprised everyone in the hall. However, when that name, which was now widely discussed in the capital, came out of his mouth...

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized that their gazes as they looked at the blond youth again had become extremely interesting. No wonder he didn't take a fifth-grade alchemist seriously; he was already a sixth-grade alchemist at the age of seventeen.

Not far away, Fu Yan's face turned pale instantly after hearing Fa Ma's address to the young man in front of him, and the arrogance in his eyes vanished immediately.

Fu Yan's lips trembled slightly, and he had no choice but to turn his angry gaze to Obama, who was already trembling beside him. If this bastard hadn't been so blind as to provoke this person, how could he have ended up in such an embarrassing situation?

"Tell me, what exactly has this guy done all these years of wrongdoing?"

Xiao Jue smiled faintly, "I don't like bullying people either, so I won't search his soul. There are so many people here, so let's all talk about it."

"Hehe, Xiao Jue, Fu Yan is naturally impulsive and hot-tempered; he didn't mean to offend you."

"Besides, you're also the honorary president of our Alchemist Guild, so we're all on the same side..." Mitchell smiled and stepped in to smooth things over.

Xiao Jue glanced at him but didn't say anything. He looked at Xue Mei beside him and asked, "Why don't you tell me?"

"They bully men and women and commit all sorts of evil deeds." Xue Mei sneered and said, "Although Fu Yan is not the most heinous criminal, Obama is abusing his position as his teacher to bully others."

"Yeah?"

Xiao Jue nodded, looked at Fama, and said, "President Fama, don't say I'm not giving you face. I just happened to be in this situation today, and the Jia Ma Empire is also my hometown."

"I know very well that people are always more afraid of authority than morality. To put it bluntly, they don't know how to be virtuous. We always have to teach some people a lesson."

With a flick of his finger, Oba and Fu Yan vanished from their spot, as if they had melted away and been swallowed by space.

Xiao Jue glanced at the men that Oba and Fu Yan had brought, then with a flick of his finger, killed them all.

"Goodbye."

Xiao Jue nodded to Fa Ma, then grabbed Xue Mei's hand, and the two disappeared in a flash.

The remaining group gathered around, exchanging wry smiles. Two years had passed since they last met. Putting aside Xiao Jue's strength, Jia Xingtian and Yunshan, the only Dou Zong in the Jia Ma Empire, both obeyed Xiao Jue's orders.

"He who sows his own evil will not live." Fa Ma shook his head. Fu Yan indulged his disciple, and today he provoked Xiao Jue. He deserved to die.

……

Xiao Jue, accompanied by Xue Mei, appeared at the former Xiao family's, now Xiao clan's, ancestral home in Wutan City.

They were in a courtyard when Xiao Jue chuckled and asked, "It's been almost two years since we last met, and three years since you took the first-grade alchemist exam. How are your alchemy skills?"

"I'm about to become a third-grade alchemist."

Xue Mei's tone was full of pride. She became a second-grade alchemist a year ago. It only took her two years to go from a first-grade alchemist to a second-grade alchemist.

The latest novel is first published here!

If all goes well, she could become a third-grade alchemist within a year. Such talent would be considered quite remarkable even in the Jia Ma Empire.

Xue Mei is only twenty-three years old now, which means she can become a third-grade alchemist at the age of twenty-four. So there are still six years until the next Alchemist Conference of the Jia Ma Empire.

Xue Mei, who will be exactly thirty years old at that time, will definitely be a fourth-grade alchemist, just like the Pill King Gu He back then. In other words, with enough resources, Xue Mei's current talent will surely make her a sixth-grade alchemist, and she may even have the hope of becoming a seventh-grade alchemist.

Her talent in alchemy is not much worse than Gu He's!

However, Guhe was highly regarded by Yunshan back then, which meant he could use all the resources of the Yunlan Sect. But this unlucky guy eventually died at the hands of the Snake-Man Clan's Grand Commander.

"That's not bad either."

Xiao Jue pulled Xue Mei to sit on a chair in the pavilion, a gesture that made the silver-haired woman's pretty face blush slightly.

Xiao Jue thought for a moment and didn't do anything to Xue Mei right away. After all, although the two knew each other, it wasn't time to take things further.

Xiao Jue produced a scroll with a storage ring on it and handed it to Xue Mei.

"This is a third-grade pill formula that I created myself using the formula of the Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill. It is called Azure Spirit Pill. It is considered a top-grade third-grade pill, but its effect is similar to the Purple Heart Breakthrough Pill. It can help a Great Dou Master break through to the first star, or help a Nine-Star Dou Master break through to the Great Dou Master. However, each person can only take it once."
