“So you want me to give you whatever you want?” Chen Fan narrowed his eyes and asked.

“Mr. Beixuan, we have been patient with you and offered you heavy rewards in exchange for OUR recipe. You could have worked in our sect and been treated with more respect than even a sect elder. Plus, you could access the medical library and learn the art of elixir brewing to your heart’s content. We could even ask the Sect Master to guide you personally.” Jin Yi said with a soft voice.

Elder Qi stood aside and pretended to listen agreeably. It was a typical game of good cop, bad cop. Both of their end goals were the same: make Chen Fan join the Medicine G.o.d Valley Sect and gain the recipe of the Body-Tempering-Pill and the Essence Enhancing Pill.

“Treated better than elders? Personal guidance from the sect maser?”

A surprised murmur rose from the crowd.

The Sect Master of the Medicine G.o.d Valley Sect was called “King of Elixirs”. His alchemy skills were unmatched by anyone in the world. Countless martial arts families and even Grandmasters depended on him for their supply of supplements. In addition to his alchemy skills, he was also a powerful spell caster.

To have such a powerful figure as a personal trainer was a priceless offer that money simply couldn’t compare.

“If I were him, I will just hand over the recipe. That’s a small price to pay to become the future King of Elixirs.”

Someone put in.

“I agree, anyone with a brain knows what to do.”

Someone else chimed in.

It then became evident to everyone that Chen Fan happened to lack a brain. He cracked a smile and said: “If you hand over all the Spirit Medicine you have h.o.a.rded over the years, I might consider teaching you guys the proper way of Elixir Brewing.”

“Arrogant fool!”

Elder Qi’s face flushed red as a pang of anger came over him.

Jin Yi heaved a sigh, it was as if she felt sorry for Chen Fan demise.

“Fine, fine, since you are so adamant, I will have to do it the hard way.” Elder Qi shook his head. “You have helped a traitor who stole our secrets, and so I will have to capture you.”

“You wish to fight me right here right now?” Chen Fan asked incredulously, but he was not the slightest worried.

Behind Chen Fan, Tong Shan had taken a large step forward. His body was reinforced with bronze and strengthened by the Qi from the west. By then, his weight had nearly doubled. The floor cracked under his heavy step, sending a large cloud of dust billowing upward.

“He is a Physique Refinement Master!”

Many martial artists looked at him fearfully.

His attainment put him just below Grandmasters and was able to face off with any ordinary martial artist. Of all the members of the Lu family, only the family lord would be able to overcome this hulking giant.

Elder Qi was a spellcaster of Dao-Reaching Level and not a lot of people thought he would emerge victorious in the confrontation. After all, in order to use his spells, he needed to put some distance with his opponent. However, he was only ten feet away from Tong Shan.

“Haha, so this is what makes you think you can get away with it?” Elder Qi was unfazed by the hulking frame, he let out a laugh instead. “If I were not a hundred percent confident in my mission, I would not have claimed that I could capture you. ”

“Oh?” Chen Fan furrowed his brows. It occurred to him that Elder Qi had more tricks up his sleeves.

Lo and behold, a booming voice erupted from outside: “Brother Qi, are you talking about me?”

“Kaboom!” “Kaboom!”

A series of heavy steps came up and the ground shook after each thud. Everyone thought that another giant the size of Tong Shan was about to emerge from the entrance.

However, the one who walked through the threshold was a scrawny old man of medium build.

This old man was bald and his face was riddled with wrinkles. Despite his smaller frame, he was muscular. His burgeoning muscles looked as hard as steel. His footsteps crushed the pavement under his feet, leaving a trail of broken surfaces all the way from the outer gate to the entrance to the inner compound.

Trailing behind the old man were a few brawny men. Just like their leaders, they were all bald. They were much bigger in size than the old man and their vein-riddled muscles were either dark green or gold in color. All of their physiques were similar if not better than Tutuli from the Diamond Temple.

“Grand Guardian of the Diamond Temple, Master Hen Tian!”

Someone gasped.

Only the experts in spell castings or those who had mastered the art of Physique Refinement could be called a “Master.” By his t.i.tle, it was evident that the old man was also a Physique Refinement Master.

“Even Master Hen Tian is going to join the battle? He is the most powerful fighter of the Diamond Temple!”

“That kid is dead! I heard that Master Hen Tian is extremely vengeful. I wager he is here to avenge Tutuli.”

Many people shook their heads and sighed, but more watched the development unfold gloatingly.

The tag team of a Spell Caster Master and a Physique Refinement Master had the a.s.sistance of many Dao-Reaching Level spell casters and External Force experts. Chen Fan’s days appeared to be numbered.

Jin Yi shook her head and lamented Chen Fan’s stubbornness and lack of an eye for opportunity.

“Are you Chen Beixuan?” Despite Master Hen Tian’s small size, his voice was loud. “You killed my disciple Tutuli, what do you want to say about your crime?”

“I have nothing to say.” Chen Fan asked with a stoic face.

“Well, I will avenge him today and make you pay with your life.” Master Hen Tian announced firmly.
