Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 672 Their Clan Also Has a Nine-Star Dou Sheng? (3k words, Bonus Chapter!)

Danjie, the hill of high heaven.

A man in white was walking among them, his steps leisurely and his expression impatient.

"This mere, dilapidated world is far inferior to my world of medicine. What face does it have to call itself a small world?"

He held the parchment in his hand, a hint of disdain in his eyes:

"Searching for medicinal herbs in such a dilapidated world? I think the Pill Tower must be out of people to come up with such a shameful trick."

This person was none other than Yao Xingji.

The parchment in his hand was a prescription given to him by the carefree old man when he entered the passage. He had to collect all the rare and precious herbs on it in order to successfully pass the second test.

For Yao Xingji, this was nothing short of a disgrace!
You should know that in the Medicine Clan, this is a job that is usually done by people from other clans and descendants of the Medicine Clan. When did it become the turn of him, the leader of the younger generation, to do it?

After a moment of reflection, Yao Xingji shook his head and smiled, his expression regaining its confidence:

"Hmph, fine. Now that we've come to this Pill Realm, it would be a bit unreasonable not to plunder it thoroughly."

As a member of the Medicine Clan, although he had never personally picked medicinal herbs, he had a great advantage in this regard.

The source of this advantage is none other than the bloodline of the Medicine Clan!
Among the eight clans, each clan possesses different talents in their bloodline power.

The bloodline of the Soul Clan seems to be the most ancient and also the most obscure, while the bloodline of the Xiao Clan is the most unique, with ancient records indicating that it is used for training by clansmen in combat techniques.
As for the Medicine Clan, they are naturally inextricably linked to alchemy.

Those who possess the bloodline of the Medicine Clan are not only more perceptive when searching for medicinal herbs, but can even directly amplify their alchemy skills. This is the Medicine Clan's capital to dominate the continent!
Thinking of this, Yao Xingji's lips curled into a faint smile, and he flashed away quickly.

Unbeknownst to him, a dark figure vanished in an instant, moving at a speed far exceeding his own.

Swish!

The space above the plain distorted, and a dozen figures emerged from it, speeding toward the ground.

"Oh!"

As soon as they landed, a giant python suddenly sprang out from the sand dune-like ground, opened its bloody mouth, and lunged to bite at the head of one of them.

"Beware!"

A startled cry suddenly came from beside me.

Upon seeing this, the alchemist was slightly startled, but remained calm. He unleashed his fighting spirit and instantly shattered the giant python's head.

"Thank you for reminding me."

Upon hearing this, the alchemist blushed slightly. Before he could turn around to thank him, the person who had reminded him had not slowed down and had instead pressed forward, striking him in the chest with a palm strike.

"boom!"

The young man fell to the ground with a thud, blood spurting out. Before the other party could finish him off, he hurriedly crushed the jade talisman and fled into the distance.

"I have kindly reminded you, but you still do not dodge or avoid it. It seems that you are sincerely trying to pave the way for me."

A hint of gratitude flashed in the eyes of the person who gave the reminder, followed by a sigh.

This sudden turn of events immediately shocked and horrified everyone present.

Indeed, there is no one in this world of alchemy who can be trusted!

"As an alchemist, you cheat and swindle your fellow practitioners. How are you any different from the demonic path?!"

An indignant young man, unable to stand by and watch, stepped forward and vehemently condemned the actions.

"What do you mean by this? This world of alchemy is a place of killing and warfare. If you die, you can't blame anyone else."

The person who gave the reminder turned around. Although he was wearing a long robe for alchemy, his muscles were bulging, and his kind face was strangely distorted by the fact that he had a face full of fat.

Seeing the cold glint in the burly man's eyes, the indignant young man turned pale and immediately lost his courage, daring not to speak out.

However, just as everyone was indignant, a faint laugh suddenly came from the outer edge of the arena:

"Using your power to intimidate others? You think you're worthy of being called an alchemist?"

Upon hearing that voice, everyone's expression changed instantly, and they all turned to look, clearly recognizing the person who had spoken.

"A descendant of the Medicine Clan?"

"It really is him! He actually stood up for us?"

Everyone was surprised, feeling as if their understanding of Yao Xingji had been completely refreshed.

But Yao Xingji remained calm, lightly fanning himself with a folding fan, and looked at the burly man with a half-smile:

"Will you withdraw on your own, or will I help you?"

"you--"

The burly man's expression changed drastically, but he dared not show the slightest resentment in his eyes.

The terror of the Medicine Clan was something that everyone had already witnessed. Even someone as powerful as Danta could only swallow his pride in front of them.

With a pang of heartache, the burly man gritted his teeth and agreed without hesitation. He instantly crushed the jade talisman and left the Pill Realm.

"They actually managed to drive that person away!"

For a moment, everyone looked surprised, and the way they looked at Yao Xingji changed slightly.

"Hehe." Seeing the grateful looks in everyone's eyes, Yao Xingji smiled and waved his fan, but his gaze gradually locked onto the cave below the python.

He knew that the reason the burly man had chosen to kill him earlier was not to provoke public anger, but for the secret treasure hidden below.

This was clearly not something that could be hidden from someone of the Medicine Clan bloodline.

"Although the reverence of these ants is useless to me, having more followers can certainly enhance the reputation of my Medicine Clan."

With a casual wave of his hand, the scene below the cave appeared before his eyes.

Beneath the snake cave, a snow-white jade stone lay peacefully in the earth's core, its emanating energy filled with an extremely rich spiritual aura!
"This is... the Earth's Core Jade Mother?"

Upon seeing this object, even with Yao Xingji's keen eyesight, he couldn't help but feel a surge of desire and immediately reached out to grab it.

It should be noted that the Earth Core Jade Mother is so rare that even someone of his status would have to pay a considerable price to obtain it.

This item can not only help cultivators break through the mortal realm and enter the spiritual realm, stepping into the second realm of the soul, but it can also serve as an excellent alchemy aid, enhancing the spiritual essence of the pills!
However, just as Yao Xingji was about to touch the Earth Core Jade Mother, a black shadow burst out instantly, snatched the jade stone into its pouch at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, and fled far away!
"what?!"

Yao Xing was extremely shocked and furious. He never dreamed that someone would dare to snatch what he had his eye on. He immediately roared:
"Who dares to steal this young master's possessions?"

Upon hearing this, the black-robed figure immediately let out a cold snort, his voice hoarse like that of a night owl:
"In the Pill Realm, all treasures are ownerless. Just because you say something is yours doesn't mean it is."

"Well, how brave!"

Yao Xing, enraged to the extreme, laughed, unleashing his full power, so powerful that those around him could barely stand.

"In all these years, you are the first person to dare to snatch the treasure that my Medicine Clan has set its sights on from the jaws of a tiger!"

Upon hearing the words "Medicine Clan," the black-robed elder hesitated visibly, his expression showing apprehension.

"Are the Medicine Clan members only capable of intimidating others with their power?"

"So what if you use your power to intimidate others?"

Yao Xingji sneered repeatedly, flipping the green gourd out of his palm and forcefully pressing down on the black-robed elder:

"You mere ants, how dare you compete with me for treasures?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions froze, and the gratitude in their eyes gradually gave way to bewilderment.

It seems that Yao Xingji was the one who first accused others of abusing their power?

Why is it that this person only allows himself to use his power to oppress others, but not others to do the same?

The green gourd pressed down, and with a single strike, it unleashed terrifying combat power comparable to a peak Dou Zong, forcing the old man into a series of defeats.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the old man's expression changed. After weighing the pros and cons for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said:

"This mere piece of jade mother is yours!"

After saying that, he took out a piece of jade that looked exactly like the Earth Core Jade Mother from his pocket and threw it to one side. He then quickly fled to the other side, clearly intending to put Yao Xingji in a dilemma.

"Not too stupid."

Yao Xingji chuckled and didn't chase after the other party. He quickly caught the flying jade stone, his eyes filled with amusement.

With the power of his medicinal clan bloodline, he could easily determine the authenticity of an item, and the jade mother that the old man had thrown out earlier was indeed the genuine article.

Walking back into the arena, looking at the many trembling alchemists beside him, Yao Xingji's confidence swelled to unprecedented heights, and an uncontrollable smile appeared on his lips:
"Heh heh, with the Jade Mother's help, how can a mere abandoned pawn possibly contend with me?"

Amidst the crowd, watching Yao Xingji laugh and walk away, a figure in black robes suddenly lifted the brim of his hat, revealing a rather resolute face.

It was Xiao Yan!
However, compared to the outside world of the Pill Gathering earlier, Xiao Yan seemed to have suppressed his anger towards Yao Xingji at this moment, and his expression was as calm as if he were looking at a dead man.

He frowned, pondered for a long time, and finally thought with some confusion:
"This Yao Xingji not only has many enemies, but is also so arrogant and conceited. Is he really a member of the Yao clan?"

In Xiao Yan's mind, the eight clans have always been synonymous with mystery and power.

Whether it's my father-in-law or Hun Ruoruo, they are both terrifying beings who can calculate without fail. Even Xun'er has at least extraordinary talent and wisdom.

But this Yao Xingji is not only weak, but also incredibly arrogant, even regarding the entire Central Continent as ants.
Do they also have Nine-Star Dou Sheng?
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan's expression immediately turned serious, and he became more wary of the Medicine Clan.

Indeed, if there were no powerful figures backing them up, how could the disciples of the Medicine Clan be so arrogant?

As you can see, even someone as arrogant as Lingquan became completely obedient after being thoroughly beaten up, and hasn't uttered a single word since.

"By the way, what do you think?"

At this point in his thoughts, he seemed to remember something, turned his head, and looked at the black-robed man beside him.

Compared to Xiao Yan, this person in black robes was noticeably smaller, only reaching Xiao Yan's chest. He was standing on tiptoe, curiously watching Yao Xingji fly away.

"Xiao Yan, this guy is really interesting!"

After an unknown amount of time, a cheerful child's voice suddenly came from beneath the black robe.

"Oh?"

Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow. He knew that the other party possessed the ability to observe qi, and could sense a trace of another's fate through their own bloodline. He immediately became somewhat interested.

"What do you see?"

Upon hearing this, the figure in black robes suddenly raised his head, revealing a childlike face, and chuckled:
"That guy named Yao something, his face is practically screaming 'death,' I've never seen anything like it before."
