Chapter 393: Chapter 393 Devouring

“Who is this audacious scoundrel daring to run wild in Medicine God Valley?”

This voice, like a clap of thunder, exploded beside everyone’s ears, causing their faces to pale slightly as they stumbled back several steps.

Several figures hurried over, appearing before everyone in an instant like phantoms.

Zhang Fu, who had previously been repelled by a strike from Li Xiaoyao, now glared at him with venomous eyes and gritted his teeth, “It’s him.”

Standing at the forefront, an old man’s gaze swept across briefly, his brow furrowed as he looked at Zhang Fu and asked, “Are you sure it’s him? I see his cultivation level is barely in the Qi Refining Realm, how could he possibly have repelled you with a single strike?”

Zhang Fu nodded vigorously, “This boy is very tricky, he probably has a treasure that conceals his true cultivation level.”

Thanks to the Mysterious System’s ability to hide his cultivation level, Li Xiaoyao had caught his opponents off guard numerous times.

“Boy, were you the one who earlier claimed you would destroy Medicine God Valley?” the old man interrogated.

Li Xiaoyao shook his head and sighed several times, “It’s truly sad, a place as grand as Medicine God Valley, and yet not a single person understands the truth. Enough, these matters have nothing to do with me, and I need not give them a second thought. I have come today solely to acquire some medicinal herbs.”

“Hmmph!” the old man’s white eyebrows shot up, “Do you think Medicine God Valley is somewhere you can just demand medicinal herbs, and I’ll give them to you?”

With a wave of his right hand, Li Xiaoyao unleashed countless Spirit Stones before him, piling up into a small mountain, causing everyone from Medicine God Valley’s eyes to bulge instantly.

“For the medicinal herbs, these Spirit Stones should suffice as compensation,” Li Xiaoyao was not one to take by force. If Medicine God Valley truly had the herbs he needed, giving them some compensation was no problem.

“Seventh Elder, this young man might hail from some Sect; otherwise, with his youth, how could he possibly possess so many Spirit Stones?” Zhang Fu’s eyes were shifty as he whispered into the elder’s ear, “Since he can take out so many Spirit Stones without batting an eye, there surely are more treasures in his Storage Ring. In my opinion, we might as well just kill him.”

The Seventh Elder seemed quite tempted, and Zhang Fu continued, “This young man insulted our Medicine God Valley, and no one would dare to say anything if we just killed him.”

The Seventh Elder raised his hand, signaling him to be quiet. Realizing that the Seventh Elder must have had an idea, Zhang Fu said no more.

“What is your surname and name? From which Sect do you come?” The Seventh Elder was indeed tempted – Li Xiaoyao had casually taken out tens of thousands of Spirit Stones, and the black Storage Ring on his finger looked extraordinary. If the boy had no major Sect backing him, any excuse would suffice to kill him.

“Li Xiaoyao, unaffiliated with any Sect,” a glint of murderous intent flashed in Li Xiaoyao’s eyes. He had not missed Zhang Fu’s words. Today, his goal was simply to obtain medicine, but if these old fellows harbored any ideas against him, Li Xiaoyao would indeed need to take action to deter them.

“Unaffiliated with any Sect?”

This answer made the Seventh Elder pause for a moment, and then his heart leapt with joy, but his expression caused Li Xiaoyao’s murderous intent to intensify.

With an angry snort, the Seventh Elder said, “You have yet to answer my earlier question. Tell me, did you or did you not say that you would destroy our Medicine God Valley?”

Li Xiaoyao furrowed his brows and remained silent while Zhang Fu stepped forward, “He did say it. The seekers of medicine here can testify to it.”

The Seventh Elder looked towards one of the medicine seekers and asked, “Did he say it?”

This medicine seeker was somewhat anxious, faced with Zhang Fu’s threatening gaze, and after weighing his options, he nodded, “He did!”

The Seventh Elder’s mouth curved into a satisfied arc as he looked at Li Xiaoyao and asked, “Now, do you have anything else to say?”

“Why, when one wishes to frame someone, one will never lack for words?” With a wave of his hand, Li Xiaoyao collected all the Spirit Stones and said with a murderous look on his face, “I originally intended to exchange for medicinal materials here, but it seems that you are not willing. Since that is the case, I have changed my mind. All the medicinal materials within Medicine God Valley shall be mine.”

“How arrogant!”

“A brat who doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth.”

Zhang Fu stepped forward and scolded, “You brazenly intruded into Medicine God Valley and uttered insults. Today, we in Medicine God Valley will execute you right here as a warning to others.”

The Seventh Elder raised his arm and said, “Boy, if you want to blame anyone, blame your own arrogance!”

As the words fell, a cluster of flames rose from the palm of the Seventh Elder, revealing that he, too, was an alchemist.

If one were to speak of the place with the most alchemists, apart from the Alchemist Guild, it would most likely be Medicine God Valley.

Medicine God Valley produced all kinds of rare and exotic materials, and alchemists were the ones who could make the most out of these treasures.

The reason why Medicine God Valley had stood strong over the years, commanding respect even from the largest powers of Xuan Country, definitely had its reasons.

No cultivator would be foolish enough to openly oppose Medicine God Valley, doing so would make it impossible for them to get by in Xuan Country.

It could be said that if Medicine God Valley wished to deal with someone, they only needed to release the person’s name. Within no more than three days, that person’s corpse would be delivered to Medicine God Valley.

The Seventh Elder controlled the flames with his spiritual power, turning them into strands of fire serpents, winding towards Li Xiaoyao from tricky angles, attempting to envelop his body.

“Such trivial flames, what could they do to me?” His voice exuded a powerful confidence. Li Xiaoyao opened his mouth, and a sucking force emanated from it, astonishing the onlookers as it swallowed all the fire serpents.

The Seventh Elder’s pupils suddenly constricted several times, seemingly in disbelief, and the next moment, Li Xiaoyao opened his mouth again. The devoured flames turned into a Flaming Arrow Feather and shot towards the Seventh Elder with a “whoosh”.

“Damn it!” Cursing, the Seventh Elder discovered in horror that he had lost his connection to his life’s fire source; he had no control over the Flaming Arrow Feather.

Although the Seventh Elder’s cultivation level was not weak, if it were simply a contest of spiritual power, Li Xiaoyao might still need to exert more effort to slay him. But the Seventh Elder tried to use spiritual power to control the flames to kill Li Xiaoyao.

If the contest was purely about spiritual power, even ten Seventh Elders would be no match for Li Xiaoyao. It is even less worth discussing the control of fire. There were few in the world who possessed powerful fire command like Li Xiaoyao.

With Li Xiaoyao’s strong spiritual power, he could easily sever the connection between the Seventh Elder and his life’s fire source, claiming it for himself and allowing it to be devoured by his Jin Yuan fire.

Li Xiaoyao also discovered during his fight with Yang Tianren that after absorbing Yang Tianren’s life’s fire source, his Jin Yuan fire seemed to be able to strengthen itself by devouring other alchemists’ life’s fire sources.

This process of strengthening might be more appropriately called evolution.

The Seventh Elder narrowly evaded the attack from the Flaming Arrow Feather, looking utterly disheveled and fierce as he demanded, “What exactly have you done to me? Why can’t I sense the presence of my life’s fire source?”

“Are you referring to this?” Li Xiaoyao opened his palm, and a cluster of flames slowly rose, shockingly the Seventh Elder’s life’s fire source.
