Chapter 9: Clan Leader Competition
Chapter 9: Clan Leader Competition
Today, Chen Xiang did not immediately ripen the elixir. He went to a huge square in the middle of the Shen Family Villa early in the morning because today was the day when the patriarch's position was finalized. The Shen family had not had a patriarch for more than three months, which caused some confusion in the Shen family.
In a huge square paved with stone bricks in the Shen Family Villa, stood the important descendants of the entire Shen family, numbering about three hundred, all of whom were elite descendants of the Shen family.
Everyone in the Shen family gathered around the square, and there was a large space in the middle. There were five middle-aged men standing there, one of whom was Shen Tianhu.
Chen Xiang was also surrounded by the crowd, watching the excitement. If necessary, he would go out to help his father fight for the position of clan leader.
A middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and gray hair said with a sneer: "Shen Tianhu, do you know that there is a very important condition for being the head of the Shen family."
This middle-aged man's name is Shen Haohai. He is the leader of a relatively powerful branch of the Shen family. He is older than Shen Tianhu and his strength is at the seventh level of the mortal martial realm. This level of strength is considered quite good among the Shen family, so he believes that he is qualified to be the head of the Shen family. In terms of seniority, Chen Xiang still needs to call him uncle.Shen Tianhu glared at Shen Haohai angrily and said coldly: "Of course I know that the patriarch's relatives must have good potential, so as to prevent the patriarch from misappropriating a large amount of public resources and wasting it on his own relatives."
Chen Xiang's mother passed away a long time ago. Chen Xiang has not seen her since he was sensible. Chen Xiang is the only relative of Chen Tianhu.
"Haha... your son is a person without spiritual veins. If you become the leader of the clan, you will definitely use a lot of precious elixirs on him! You have been buying elixirs and elixirs everywhere over the years, just to kill your son. Help him up? But everyone knows his background." Shen Haohai laughed and said, "Everyone knows that he is a loser who can never get up!"
Chen Tianhu naturally knew that his son was outstanding among his peers. He just wanted to hide his strength and not reveal too much amazing strength, otherwise it would cause trouble.
"My son can release the fire of true energy! He has the potential to make alchemy. How dare you say that he is useless? I'm afraid the elders of the Shen family won't think so." Shen Tianhu sneered.
At this time, everyone started talking. The fact that the master of Lingdan Pavilion was rejected from accepting a disciple had already spread throughout Crouching Tiger City. Although Chen Xiang does not have spiritual veins, if he has the fire of true energy, he will have the opportunity to become an alchemist.
Shen Haohai snorted coldly: "But he rejected the master of the Lingdan Pavilion. Without a master, he cannot become an alchemist."
At this moment, Chen Xiang's calm and steady voice came: "I can now refine a low-grade mortal level body tempering pill."
Hearing Chen Xiang's words, everyone was stunned, but Shen Haohai laughed: "Huangkou boy, you can refine elixirs at the age of sixteen? Don't think that just saying a few big words can help your father win the position of clan leader. . Also, lying in front of elders will be severely punished."
"Do you think you are the genius of the medicine family? The medicine family is a family of elixirs! They have a rich heritage."
Chen Xiang walked out of the crowd with clear eyes and a calm expression. He took out an alchemy furnace, looked at Shen Haohai and sneered, and said, "Do you dare to take a gamble with me? I will refine a furnace of body tempering. Dan, how about you kowtow to me in public and apologize?"
Shen Haohai couldn't laugh anymore, and everyone was stunned. They didn't expect that Chen Xiang would be so arrogant and say such things!
Shen Haohai was furious that a junior was acting presumptuously in front of him.
Chen Tianhu supported Chen Xiang's actions. He knew that his son's time to feel proud had arrived.
Shen Haohai's face was full of power and anger, and he said in a deep voice: "What did you just say!" As he spoke, a wave of true energy enveloped Chen Xiang, but it was turned away by Shen Tianhu.
Chen Xiang stared at Shen Haohai and raised his voice and said, "I want to make a bet with you! If I can refine a batch of body tempering pills, you will kowtow to me in public and apologize."
Chen Xiang repeated it with a serious face, not joking at all, and his tone was full of arrogance. There were not many young people in the Shen family who could face their elders like this.
Shen Haohai was so angry that he was shaking all over. Seeing Chen Xiang's serious look, he didn't dare to agree immediately, and some people around him were also waiting for his answer.
Chen Xiang looked at Shen Haohai and continued: "You slandered me in public as a useless waste. Now I want to prove myself and make you apologize to me! As a senior, don't you dare to gamble?"
Shen Haohai wanted to slap Chen Xiang to death, but he did not dare. After all, killing a young member of his clan was a very serious matter.
An old man said: "In that case, Shen Haohai, you just have to take a gamble with him, but you don't have to kowtow and apologize. That's just a child's angry words. Let's do this, if he can refine a furnace of pills, Shen Haohai, you can do it. If he loses, give him appropriate compensation."
"I agree, if my son loses, I will no longer compete for the position of clan leader!" Shen Tianhu said, and then nodded to Chen Xiang.
Everyone was in an uproar again, Shen Tianhu actually placed such a big bet!
Shen Haohai snorted: "Just bet. If I lose, I will give him the thousand-year blood Ganoderma lucidum I just got."
Millennium Blood Ganoderma! Everyone immediately shouted, that was the Blood Ganoderma that had grown for thousands of years. It was a very expensive Xuan-level low-grade elixir.
"Chen Xiang, start refining the pill now! How long will it take you?" asked the old man. He was the elder of the Shen family and had a certain prestige.
According to everyone's understanding, it would take at least half a day to refine low-grade mortal elixirs, and the fastest would take two to three hours, let alone a sixteen-year-old boy.
"Soon, no need to waste everyone's time!" As he spoke, Chen Xiang sat down cross-legged, and the elder and Shen Haohai also came over to check the alchemy furnace to prevent Chen Xiang from cheating.
"Inferior alchemy furnace, it seems that Shen Tianhu is very poor!" Shen Haohai sneered. Everyone knew that Shen Tianhu spent all his money on Shen Xiang.
Chen Xiang took out the materials from the storage bag, sorted them, checked them, and then released the fire of true energy to warm the alchemy furnace before putting the materials into it. His movements were very skillful.
The fire of true energy also surprised everyone slightly. Although many people can release flames when attacking by practicing some martial arts, those flames can only be released when attacking. Normally, one cannot control it as freely as Chen Xiang, unless he practices some fire control techniques, but those techniques are very rare and difficult to practice.
The alchemy furnace has been filled with flames by Chen Xiang, and at this time the slightest scent of medicine floats out of the alchemy furnace.
An hour passed, and everyone saw Chen Xiang with his eyes closed and his eyebrows suddenly furrowed. They knew at a glance that it was a critical moment, and Shen Haohai was also sweating. He was worried that he would lose the thousand-year-old blood Ganoderma lucidum.
Everyone saw the mist coming out of the alchemy furnace, and Chen Xiang also opened his eyes, with a happy face, stood up and said, "Please check."
"What? Completed in one hour?" Everyone expressed doubts.
The elder was the first to pass! Although he couldn't make alchemy, he also knew about the process of making alchemy. He had been watching Chen Xiang carefully just now and knew that Chen Xiang had a certain foundation in alchemy. Although he didn't know what was going on in the alchemy furnace, he It can be sensed that the heat released by the alchemy furnace is changing, and the changes are very subtle.
Opening the lid of the alchemy furnace, everyone immediately smelled the faint medicinal aroma. This was indeed the medicinal aroma they were familiar with, and they could also witness the refining process with their own eyes. When they saw the elder taking out five snow-white pills, they were all excited He couldn't help but exclaimed.
(My new work-

Please read few ch after make decision.) You can fight, you win, and if you can't fight, you can't win. If you can't handle a situation, ask for advice from others, not help. If you ask for help, it means the situation is impossible for you. In that situation, you can learn from others, but you can't copy from others. That hides your abilities and your potential can never show its worth. Make your own decisions and don't rely on others to see for you. Create your own image and, most importantly, don't try to hurt others' feelings. You don't know when they will be gone, and you will regret it afterwards.
