Chapter 772
What status Elder Yinding of Medicine King Valley holds!
Medicine King Valley, as one of the strongest alchemical sects in the Southwest Five Provinces and Cities, wields immense influence in the Hidden Sect, given that alchemists are rare and many powerful figures from the Hidden Sect must seek favors from Medicine King Valley.
When it comes to influence and hidden power,
even the Tang Family must place itself below Medicine King Valley.
If an Elder of the Silver Cauldron’s stature comes out, even the Family Head of the Tang Family must personally receive them.
Yet now, someone dared to block Elder Yinding’s way rashly.
Instantly, everyone turned their attention toward the direction from which the voice had come.
They saw a young man step out from the crowd, a slender figure with skin clear as crystal, extremely youthful in appearance, seemingly not even twenty years old yet.
...
The emergence of such a young person elicited sounds of surprise from everyone present.
The Elder of Medicine King Valley’s expression grew increasingly dark.
If the person who had come forth were of a similar age, possessing comparable strength and status, that would have been acceptable; but the sight of such a wet-behind-the-ears youngster caused the Elder of Medicine King Valley to emit a disdainful snort.
He didn’t even deem it worth arguing about,
for arguing with such a youth would lower his own status.
However, without him speaking up, those around him seeking elixirs began to scold angrily.
“Ignorant youth, do you even know to whom you are speaking?”
“Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.
Even if your parents were here, they wouldn’t dare speak to the Elder of Medicine King Valley in such a manner.”
The middle-aged man standing next to him had already stepped forward, a powerful aura pressing toward Long Xiaoshan as he barked fiercely, “Whence comes this brat, unsupervised?
Kneel!”
Tang Shengfeng had been within the crowd and hadn’t anticipated Long Xiaoshan would suddenly step forward.
Although he believed Long Xiaoshan’s alchemy skills to be high, a big name casts a large shadow—the other was an Elder Yinding of Medicine King Valley.
In the Hidden Sect, he was a man of great repute.
This caused even Tang Shengfeng to lose confidence.
No matter how talented Long Xiaoshan was, due to his young age, his alchemy skills were unlikely to rival Elder Yinding of Medicine King Valley.
Seeing Long Xiaoshan walk out now, confronting Elder Yinding of Medicine King Valley and provoking public outrage, Tang Shengfeng hastily stepped out from the crowd, calling out to the middle-aged man, “Third Brother, calm your anger, he came with me.”
The middle-aged man by the name of Tang Tiancheng, was the son of the current Head of the Tang Family, ranked third in his generation, and was a few years older than Tang Shengfeng.
It was he who had sought to invite the Elder of Medicine King Valley, and upon seeing Tang Shengfeng step forward, his eyes narrowed as he rebuked him sharply, “Tang Shengfeng, you have a lot of nerve!
On such an important day for our Tang Family, you actually bring such an ignorant junior up the mountain.
Do you even hold the family in regard?
Immediately kowtow and apologize to Elder Qiu, then take this junior and roll down the mountain.”
Tang Shengfeng’s face looked extremely unpleasant.
He too was a member of the Tang Family.
And yet, in front of so many outsiders, Tang Tiancheng treated him as if he were training a dog, even demanding he kowtow to the Elder of Medicine King Valley, which was utterly humiliating.
After all, Tang Shengfeng, with a net worth of nearly a hundred billion, wields substantial authority as a chairman.
Even the Mayor of QY City would treat him with great courtesy; when had he ever suffered such indignity?
His fists clenched tight, Tang Shengfeng suppressed his anger and explained, “He is not just any junior; he is an alchemist I invited to participate in the competition.”
“Him, an alchemist?”
“`
After a brief moment of astonishment, Tang Tiancheng suddenly burst into laughter.
Laughter also erupted from the surrounding crowd.
Who would believe that such a milk-nosed boy could be an alchemist when alchemy is known as the most difficult profession in the Hidden Sect, owing to its scarce heritage?
Moreover, the cultivation of an alchemist requires a massive amount of precious herbs, which are becoming increasingly rare.
Even Medicine King Valley couldn’t cultivate many alchemists.
Long Xiaoshan paid no attention to the mockery of others.
He walked up to the middle-aged man, took out a bottle from his bosom, poured out a red pill the size of a longan, and said, “This is my Blood Yuan Pill, you can see the quality for yourself.”
The pale-faced middle-aged man had also not taken Long Xiaoshan’s words to heart.
He just wanted to quickly complete a trade with the Elder of Medicine King Valley.
Because a month ago, he encountered an ambush and was forced to use a very brutal disintegration technique as a last resort.
Although this acted as a deadly counterattack that killed all those who ambushed him, his body nearly collapsed after using the technique.
His cultivation rapidly fell from the Mid Xuan-Level to the Huang Level Middle Stage, and his condition continued to deteriorate.
If he couldn’t replenish his vital blood, it wasn’t just his cultivation that would be at stake, but presumably, his life wouldn’t have much left either.
Therefore, upon learning that the Tang Family was hosting an elixir competition, he traveled thousands of miles to seek a remedy.
Finally, when the Elder of Medicine King Valley brought out a Blood Yuan Pill, he bet all he had, taking out all the valuable items he possessed.
Yet, he still wasn’t sure whether he could exchange for a Blood Yuan Pill.
The value of that unknown stone was completely uncertain to him.
So when Long Xiaoshan stepped forward, he was secretly pleased.
Although the young man was reckless, his interruption might invisibly increase his bargaining chips and prompt the Elder of Medicine King Valley to trade the Blood Yuan Pill with him.
However, unexpectedly, Long Xiaoshan also presented a pill right before him.
The middle-aged man’s gaze sharply focused as the “Blood Yuan Pill” produced by Long Xiaoshan radiated a transparent blood light similar to amber.
Even a meter away, the strong medicinal fragrance was overwhelming, invigorating his pale complexion to flush a bit as the blood circulation in his body seemed to smooth out.
His mind trembled as he asked, “May I take a look?”
Without hesitation, Long Xiaoshan placed the pill in his hand,
The middle-aged man had become his own healer out of prolonged illness.

Over the month, he had searched for countless herbs to replenish his vital blood.
Holding the pill closely, he observed and inhaled its fragrance.
The sensation of blood flowing freely was even more intense.
At that moment, he was eighty percent certain that this was a superior-grade pill.
Moreover, upon inspection, it even seemed to surpass the one provided by the Elder of Medicine King Valley.
Still, he hesitated, for the Elder of Medicine King Valley had also produced a Blood Yuan Pill.
One was from the Elder of Medicine King Valley and the other from an unknown boy; he still couldn’t decide which Blood Yuan Pill was better.
Long Xiaoshan said indifferently, “I can tell you that the effectiveness of my Blood Yuan Pill is at least three times that of the one he has brought out.”
Upon hearing this, the Elder of Medicine King Valley immediately became furious, “Insolent brat, how dare you make such a wild claim!”
Long Xiaoshan stood with his hands behind his back and responded coolly, “The Blood Yuan Pill you’ve refined is full of impurities, I fear it’s a jumbled pill you’ve forced into form.
It may have some effects, but the side effects are clear.
Once taken, the pill’s poison enters the body, and though it might not be evident now, it’ll be too late for regrets later.”
The Elder of Medicine King Valley’s face changed.
How did Long Xiaoshan know he was selling adulterated pills?
Long Xiaoshan snorted coldly, turned his head to the middle-aged man, and said, “You can take my Blood Yuan Pill, and if it doesn’t replenish all of your depleted vital blood, I won’t take a penny.”
