When this middle-aged man appeared, everyone immediately cleared a path for him. Everyone looked at him with awe and respect in their eyes. The previously bustling and lively village became incredibly quiet.

This powerful and domineering middle-aged man was none other than Shen Xiang’s father, Shen Tianhu!

“Is that your old man You look very alike,” said Long Xueyi.

“Yes, he is. It’s him!” Shen Xiang was very excited. “My old man is still alive!”

He just wanted to go and meet Shen Tianhu first, but he saw a group of people coming out from the giant stone mountains surrounding the village. These stone mountains had some caves that were inhabited by people.

“Old village chief, you’ve let your villagers go to their deaths again. This time they’re lucky to have survived, but I wonder what they hunted,” said a tall and slender man. He looked young, but the middle-aged people and elders following behind him seemed to listen obediently.

“What does it concern you You guys, all hunkered down in your caves, don’t even think about taking our game,” a teenager yelled at the group.

“Hmph Why should it concern us You guys go hunt those gigantic beasts. If the families of those giant beasts get mad and start chasing you, we’ll be in trouble too! We’re taking on a huge risk here, so you guys have to give us half,” the tall and slender middle-aged man’s words made the thousand villagers furious.

Shen Xiang understood. In such an environment, all resources must be very scarce. Even if they were outside, there was no strength to mine them because of the many giant beasts and few humans. Now they are even struggling with food, which is why they sent people out to hunt giant beasts.

“You… all of you should get lost. As long as I Shen Lu Zong live, I won’t let you ride on top of us,” said a voice filled with anger echoing through the valley.

At that moment, Shen Tianhu’s body was filled with killing intent. His eyes were so red that they looked like they could kill the tall and slender middle-aged man at any moment.

But that tall and slender man wasn’t afraid. He just laughed loudly, and the two hundred people following him also burst into laughter.

“Come on, do you dare fight us to the death Perhaps you can kill us, but with a thousand of you, half of you might end up dead,” the tall and slender middle-aged man said with a sinister smile.

Shen Xiang had already noticed that the tall and slender middle-aged man wasn’t too strong. However, battling against Shen Tianhu wouldn’t be easy. Although he could kill him, it might take some time, and besides, the people following that tall and slender man had overall strength. If a conflict occurs, many of the villagers without martial skills would be killed.

“My uncle is still alive, but his lifespan is almost gone!” Shen Xiang discovered that the situation here wasn’t as optimistic as what others had told him, and it was indeed quite bad.

Shen Lu Zong was carried over by two young men, looking like he was about to expire. However, his powerful strength frightened Shen Xiang.

“Sage force! How quickly” Long Xueyi was also extremely surprised. Shen Xiang had told her about his father and uncle’s abilities.

“Old village chief, your energy looks good,” the tall and slender middle-aged man snickered. It was because Shen Lu Zong’s condition had become worse and worse.

Shen Xiang, having transformed into a butterfly, had already flown down and returned to his true form. Everyone was looking at Shen Lu Zong and didn’t notice a stranger had appeared.

“How about you challenge us again and make another batch of pills. If you win, we’ll forgive you this time.” The tall and slender man smiled.

“Li Mu, you ungrateful fellow. Who taught you how to make pills Who saved your life” Shen Lu Zong was furious.

“Who would’ve thought you wouldn’t pass down the position of village chief to me Look at my strength and skills. I’m worthy of being in that position.” Li Mu took out a knife, playing with it.

Shen Tianhu held his fists filled with blue veins, walked up and said, “Your group of thugs have all made grave mistakes and are locked up in prison. Release them. You’ll reap what you sow.”

Li Mu glared at him and said coldly, “I’ll count to three. Either you compete with me on making pills or give us half of your game’s spoils. Otherwise, we’ll take our lives into our own hands and fight with you to the death today.”

Who would’ve known that Li Mu’s intentions were sinister. If Shen Lu Zong challenged him to make pills again, he might die instantly.

Shen Tianhu was furious, and the young people in the village were also angry. They all prepared for battle. Just as Shen Tianhu was about to raise his fist, Shen Lu Zong sighed and said, “Well, let’s do it then!”

As long as the village gained some time, making the young people stronger inside the village meant that they wouldn’t have to be threatened by these people in the future.

“How about I compete with him” Shen Xiang suddenly walked up, his unfamiliar voice making everyone surprised. But both Shen Lu Zong and Shen Tianhu’s bodies trembled in shock, turning around to look at him.

Shen Xiang smiled on his face, just like before but more mature and stable. Although no one could sense any qi from him, his posture while speaking just made people underestimate him.

“Oh The old man has produced a disciple so quickly But what do you have to compete against me with The old man and I will compete once, and it’ll shorten my lifespan by a decade or two.” Li Mu said disdainfully. However, he was curious about the faces he didn’t recognize in this village.

Shen Tianhu and Shen Lu Zong were initially excited but quickly calmed down. They knew what Shen Xiang was going to do, so they couldn’t reveal his identity now or Li Mu wouldn’t compete with Shen Xiang.

Shen Lu Zong was very familiar with Shen Xiang’s alchemy skills, and Shen Tianhu had great confidence in his son. Back when the Shen family’s pill industry was started, it was Shen Xiang who initiated it. As for why Shen Xiang appeared here, although they were curious about it, that wasn’t what they should be asking now.

“I lost. If you cut off one of my arms, how about it” Shen Xiang walked up and said calmly.

Li Mu chuckled, “Ah, young cow not afraid of the tiger, very brave indeed. But since my old man didn’t stop you, you must have some strength. Well, if you lose, I can watch how others cut off their arms,” said Li Mu.

“How do we compete” asked Shen Xiang.

“We’ll make true essence pills. Whoever makes the best pill wins! This best refers to making pills at a fast speed, quality of the pills, and the number of pills produced.” Li Mu said. It was a common method to compete like this.

A man shouted loudly from inside the village, “True essence pills Where would we get such medicine pills You tricked them away from us back then, you scoundrel!”

“If there’s no medicine, it means you lost!” that man laughed loudly.

Shen Xiang didn’t say anything else and took out玄真草,萬靈果,大元果仁,靈晶乳 with a small bottle.

These items were low-quality goods in Long Xueyi’s eyes, hence she wasn’t targeted.e loss during that period. At this moment, he was continuously absorbing fairy qi, using his cultivation techniques to quickly refine it while also refining the mixed essence pills he had taken earlie...
