Ultimate Village Doctor-Chapter 713 - 775 The Grand Competition Begins
Chapter 713: Chapter 775: The Grand Competition Begins Chapter 713: Chapter 775: The Grand Competition Begins Chapter 775
It wasn’t that no one was buying the Lesser Qi Nurturing Pills, rather, there were too many buyers, making the competition extremely fierce.
The price climbed higher and higher!
Private individuals had long been eliminated from contention.
Only major organizations like Canghai Medicine Pavilion, Pure Yang Palace, and Fire Refinement Sect were left vying for the pills.
After all, a single Lesser Qi Nurturing Pill had a good chance of creating a Xuan Level Expert, and while these sects could find several martial artists at the Huang Level Peak, Xuan Level Experts were hard to come by.
A Xuan Level Expert could dominate a city.
Tang Tiancheng and the Elder of Medicine King Valley whispered to each other for a moment.
...
With a flash in his eyes and a slight nod, Tang Tiancheng spoke up, “Our Tang Family is willing to offer a 300-year-old Poria fungus in exchange for your Lesser Qi Nurturing Pill.”
Whoosh!
The crowd erupted in commotion.
A 300-year-old herb was a rarity even among the Hidden Sects.
Just in terms of efficacy, it might even match the impact of the Lesser Qi Nurturing Pill on reaching the Xuan Level, and with Tang Tiancheng offering such a precious herb, he immediately overshadowed Canghai Medicine Pavilion and the rest.
Xiaoshan’s eyes also sparkled at this.
A 300-year-old herb could indeed be used in the alchemy of Qi Nurturing Pills.
Even though he was already cultivating them, and would definitely succeed, one can never have too many medicinal herbs.
Besides, the difficulty of concocting Qi Nurturing Pills was bound to be much greater than that of the Lesser Qi Nurturing Pills, and success was not guaranteed on the first attempt.
He glanced at Tang Tiancheng.
The fact that the Tang Family could offer such valuable herbs was beyond his expectations.
If the Tang Family was this resourceful, why did they compete for the Snow Lotus last time?
Could it be…
He glanced at the Elder of Medicine King Valley.
Snapping his fingers, he didn’t care whether it was truly from the Tang Family or not; since they were willing to offer a 300-year-old herb, Xiaoshan saw no reason not to reciprocate.
Trading a 300-year-old herb for a Lesser Qi Nurturing Pill, he would be making a killing—a 100-year-old plant would be enough for him to concoct a furnace full of pills.
“What’s the matter?
Afraid I’ll accuse you of fraud after taking your pills, or are you just unsure about the quality of your pills?” Tang Tiancheng provoked Xiaoshan, seeing him silent.
“Hahaha!” Xiaoshan laughed heartily, “You don’t need to provoke me.
Since you’ve made the highest offer, I’ll make the trade with you, and as for the idea of defrauding me…”
Xiaoshan shook his head, chuckling with a hint of disdain.
The transaction was completed swiftly.
The 300-year-old Poria was in Xiaoshan’s possession now.
And Tang Tiancheng took away the Lesser Qi Nurturing Pill.
The many martial artists who had not secured a pill felt a wave of regret washing over them.
But who could blame them?
They didn’t have the wealth of the Tang Family or a 300-year-old herb to offer.
“Grandmaster, do you have any more elixir pills?” asked a few who still hadn’t given up hope.
Xiaoshan stood with his hands in his sleeves, “I’ve sold all the pills I had on me today; let’s talk another time.”
A chorus of disappointed sighs followed.
Nobody would still think Xiaoshan was just posing as an alchemist—after all, other than an alchemist, who could produce so many Superior Grade elixir pills in one go?
Even though Xiaoshan was no longer selling pills, the crowd did not disperse.
Many people came up trying to get close; it was a rare opportunity to make the acquaintance of such a young Master of Alchemy.
Major powers like Canghai Medicine Pavilion made repeated overtures.
Xiaoshan dealt with the crowd with noncommittal noises for a while.
Then he left the arena with Tang Shengfeng and others.
Watching Xiaoshan leave, Tang Tiancheng and the Elder Qiu of Medicine King Valley also left the arena.
Tang Tiancheng handed over the Lesser Qi Nurturing Pill to Elder Qiu, who waved his hand and, with a gleam in his eye, said, “Tang, find someone to test this pill immediately.”
“Master, don’t you think you might be drawing too much attention by doing this?” Once they had left the arena, Tang Shengfeng expressed his worry.
Xiaoshan was still too young.
Couldn’t resist a challenge.
And had revealed so many pills.
If Xiaoshan came from a powerful sect like Medicine King Valley or Tianyi Sect, that’d be another story.
But Long Xiaoshan was just a loose cultivator.
Secrets can’t be kept forever, and even if Long Xiaoshan was powerful, it would be extremely dangerous if people found out that he was a loose cultivator with a treasure trove capable of refining so many supreme elixir pills.
Today, there were hundreds of martial artists present.
Behind these martial artists were the influences of countless hidden sects.
Did people really think the folks of these secret sects were innocuous?
Meeting with warmth to one’s face while stabbing in the back was not uncommon among them.
Moreover, today Long Xiaoshan had severely offended Medicine King Valley and the Tang Family.
Even if Long Xiaoshan was made of iron, how many nails could he hammer in?
How could Tang Shengfeng not worry?
Long Xiaoshan said indifferently, “Don’t worry, I have my plans!”
Seeing how casually Long Xiaoshan was taking it, Tang Shengfeng couldn’t help but become anxious and said, “Master Long, please don’t take this lightly.
Although I have never roamed the hidden sects, my experiences over the years are not few.
I can guarantee you’re definitely being targeted.
Why don’t we sneak down the mountain now?
I can cover for you, and as for the competition, it’s fine if we don’t participate.”
“Haha!”
Long Xiaoshan laughed heartily, patted Tang Shengfeng on the shoulder, and said, “President Tang, thank you for your kindness, but I came here for the competition.
How could I possibly quit halfway through?
Don’t worry too much, I’m aware of the situation.”
“Sigh!”
Seeing that Long Xiaoshan would not be persuaded, Tang Shengfeng felt helpless.
A person like Long Xiaoshan, who had achieved so much at such a young age, surely had an unshakably firm will, and could not be swayed by others.
“Dad, don’t worry too much, I believe in the master,” Tang Yan said.
“What do you understand?” Tang Shengfeng glared at Tang Yan.
Then, grinding his teeth, he said, “Master, since you will not leave, Shengfeng is prepared to lay down his life for a noble cause.”
Long Xiaoshan smiled faintly and leisurely walked forward.
Accompanied by Tang Shengfeng, Long Xiaoshan went to a guest room of the Tang Family to rest and waited for the arrival of the elixir pill competition.

Time flew by quickly, and soon it was the afternoon.
Long Xiaoshan was meditating in his room.
Tang Shengfeng came in quickly and said, “Master Long, the alchemy competition officially starts at one o’clock in the afternoon, we can go now.”
“Good,” Long Xiaoshan opened his eyes and uttered a word.
He stood up and followed Tang Shengfeng out of the door.
Passing through corridors and gardens, the Tang Family’s estate was truly vast, with four to five hundred rooms, not to mention the large courtyards and gardens.
An ordinary person could easily get lost here.
In comparison to the Tang Family, Long Xiaoshan’s Myriad Dragon Manor was like a small witch meeting a great witch.
They passed through a large gate.
Sounds of a waterfall thundering could be heard.
In front of them, a large open space on the cliff edge was filled with people, densely packed.
On the edge of the cliff was the Silver Dragon Waterfall, the most famous waterfall on Tiandu Mountain.
This waterfall flowed year-round, cascading down from the peak of Tiandu Mountain like a silver dragon, creating a spectacular sight.
Tang Shengfeng said, “Master Long, the competition is arranged here at Silver Dragon Cliff.
You can go over there to register, get a badge, and then you can enter.”
“Well!” Long Xiaoshan nodded.
On the Silver Dragon Cliff, the center was a large circular arena, surrounded by spectators.
At that moment, alchemists were stepping onto the field.
Since they dared to participate in the competition, they all had their own skills.
As these alchemists entered the field, people would shout their names.
“From Canghai Medicine Pavilion, Grandmaster Ruan Xuan has arrived!”
“From Green Wood Sect, Grandmaster Sun Zizhen has arrived!”
“From Medicine King Valley, Grandmaster Qiu Tianduo has arrived!”
“…”
Each name, thunderous, caused waves of cheers.
