"Elder Wanhuo!"
When the Medicine Clan elders heard this, their expressions changed drastically and they couldn't help but speak.
In their opinion, if Elder Wanhuo took action, he would definitely be able to capture Lin Ran. At that time, all the guests would know that the power of the Medicine Clan could not be violated.
But they didn't expect that Elder Wanhuo not only did not help them deal with Lin Ran, but also directly helped Lin Ran and punished Yao Wangui.
Such behavior really made the elders of the Medicine Clan a little unbelievable.
"Shut up, I know my limits!"
Seeing these guys interrupting, Elder Wanhuo's face darkened and he scolded angrily.
Others could not see it, but he understood that even if he took action himself today, he would not be a match for Lin Ran.
Lin Ran, the Seven-Star Fighting Saint, plus a Holy Clan that is not weaker than the Medicine Clan.
Even without the support of the Ancient Clan, Lin Ran can definitely be compared to the Medicine Clan now.
It is really not worth it to provoke such an existence just for Yao Wangui.
After hearing Elder Wanhuo's stern shout, the elders were unwilling but could only shut up. The former's status in the clan was unmatched except for the clan leader.
Lin Ran's eyes were calm and he did not speak. Instead, he turned his gaze to Yao Chen, obviously wanting to hear what the latter had to say.
Seeing Lin Ran's gaze, everyone also shifted their attention to Yao Chen.
"Since Elder Wanhuo has come forward in person, if we insist, we will appear to be ungrateful."
Under those gazes, Yao Chen remained calm and smiled faintly.
With the current foundation of the Holy Sect and Lin Ran's strength, it is not a problem to deal with Yao Wangui. Even if the result is a war with the Yao Clan, he believes that Lin Ran has the courage and strength to do so.
But the main purpose of his coming here today was to engrave words on the clan stone tablet for his parents. If Yao Wangui was really killed, the Yao clan would definitely not sit idly by.
If the two sides become enemies at that time...
That was not the situation he wanted to see. Since Elder Wanhuo had taken the initiative to offer them the chance, they were happy to step down. After all, the deterrent effect had been achieved.
Hearing this, Elder Wanhuo breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Yao Chen with a slightly complicated look.
He had never imagined that the man who was once regarded as an insignificant discarded child by the Medicine Clan would have achieved such success today.
Not only did he enter the level of Fighting Saint, but he also became one of the top leaders of a force like the Holy Sect.
Judging from today's situation, Lin Ran attaches great importance to Yao Chen, which is beyond imagination. It is even possible that he would even go to war with the Yao Clan!
"If we had paid a little more attention back then, perhaps the situation would be very different now..."
Elder Wanhuo sighed in his heart. If the clan had paid more attention to Yao Chen in the past, even if the latter left the Yao clan, he would definitely always have memories of the Yao clan in his heart.
In that case, the relationship between the Holy Sect and the Medicine Clan would probably be quite good, but unfortunately...
"Haha, Sect Master Lin, Palace Master Yaochen, I wonder if you two are satisfied with this punishment?" Elder Wanhuo looked at Lin Ran and the others and said softly.
"Since Yao Chen has nodded, let's take it over."
Lin Ran said calmly, and his expression and attitude made many Medicine Clan elders present frown. However, the previous situation and the triggering of Yao Wangui by Elder Wanhuo made them dare not say anything more.
"It's getting late. If you want to view the pharmacopoeia, please follow me to the top of the mountain."
"Oh, Master Lin, I've heard in Zhongzhou that Master Lin is also very accomplished in alchemy, and is even an elder of the Dan Tower. But my Medicine Clan is still a little more authoritative than the Dan Tower in terms of alchemy, and this pharmacopoeia is also the gathering place of the top alchemists in Douqi Continent."
"If Sect Master Lin can stand out in this pharmacopoeia, I'm afraid the title of the continent's number one alchemist will have to change his name."
Elder Wanhuo stroked his beard, and there was a hint of pride in his voice.
Compared with the fighting strength, he is indeed inferior to Lin Ran, but when it comes to alchemy, the arrogance in his heart is unconsciously exuded.
After all, the Medicine Clan was founded on medicine refining!
"It is my honor to compete with the top alchemists in Douqi Continent." Lin Ran smiled faintly, "By the way, I heard that many people came this time. Are there any people from other ancient races coming?"
"this..."
Hearing Lin Ran's words, Elder Wanhuo was stunned, thought for a moment and said: "My pharmacopoeia is indeed open to the outside world, but it is mainly for alchemists, so I have not explicitly invited other ancient races."
"Is that so?"
Hearing this, Lin Ran nodded without saying anything more.
Seeing this, Elder Wanhuo said a few polite words, then moved, flew into the sky, and flew towards the top of the mountain. Many elders of the Medicine Clan followed closely behind.
Looking at the backs of the Medicine Clan elders, Lin Ran and Yao Chen exchanged a glance. Yao Chen sighed softly and looked at Lin Ran with a complicated expression: "Today, I still have to rely on the power of the Sect Master and the Sect..."
"It's a small matter. Let's go, old man Yao. I promised you that I would do it today!"
Lin Ran smiled indifferently, and Yao Chen nodded heavily.
The next moment, the two of them rose into the air at the same time, following the Medicine Clan elders from a distance, and quickly flew towards the top of the mountain...
…
The top of Yaoshan Mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist.
The strange fragrance of the elixir spreads, making people feel relaxed and happy, as if they are in fairyland.
At the top of Yaoshan Mountain, patches of medicinal herbs gathered like an ocean, and above the sea of medicine, an enormous square was suspended in mid-air.
At the four corners of the square, there are four huge medicine cauldrons, emitting the fragrance of elixir, with smoke rising straight into the sky.
Today, there are many figures standing on the huge suspended platform, and the sounds of lively conversations can be heard continuously, making the place seem extremely lively.
Looking towards the north of the stone platform, there are stone chairs lined up side by side. On both sides of these stone chairs, beautiful maids are flying by like butterflies, filling all the jade cups on the stone table with their deft hands.
Lin Ran and Yao Chen flew to the top of the mountain, looking around. Just when they were about to find a place to land, the Elder Wanhuo stood up from a stone chair and laughed, "Sect Master Lin, Hall Master Yao Chen, please come this way."
"Lin Ran?! Holy shit, the Saint Sect's leader is here?!"
"According to gossip, Yao Chen, the head of the Holy Sect's Alchemy Hall, seemed to have once been a member of the Yao Clan, but was later expelled from the clan due to some incidents."
"Is this true? Hey, if this is true, then the Medicine Clan will regret it to death now, right?"
Elder Wanhuo's laughter immediately drew everyone's attention towards the direction of Lin Ran and the others.
Today, the Holy Sect is very powerful in Zhongzhou, and its dominant position is unquestionable. Not only in Zhongzhou, but even in the entire Douqi Continent, everyone has heard of the Holy Sect and Lin Ran's name.
Facing all those various looks, Lin Ran remained calm: "Elder Wanhuo is so polite. I will respectfully obey your orders."
The two of them flashed and appeared not far from Elder Wanhuo, and immediately found a place to sit down.
The clever maid beside her hurried forward to serve respectfully.
Seeing the two people sitting down, Elder Wanhuo smiled at them. As for the other elders of the Medicine Clan beside him, they were a little unnatural.
Everything that had happened before made it difficult for them to adapt. Although they now understood why Elder Wanhuo was so polite, they couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.
Apart from anything else, the seniority of these elders alone is higher than that of Yao Chen.
If Yao Chen had always been in the Yao Clan, he would have to bow respectfully when he saw them now, but now...
The status of the Alchemy Palace Master is comparable to the current Medicine Clan's Ten Thousand Fire Elders!
"The foreplay of the Pharmacopoeia is nothing to watch. It's just the young people in the Medicine Clan showing off their skills. The real highlight of the Pharmacopoeia is at the end."
Yao Chen looked down at the huge stone platform below and said to Lin Ran with a smile: "Sect Master, if you can refine the best medicine from the pharmacopoeia, the title of the best alchemist in the Douqi Continent will be yours."
"Haha, with my alchemy skills, it's not easy to win the first place, but it's not impossible to try." Lin Ran said with a faint smile, and looked at Yao Chen at the same time: "Old Yao, why don't you try? If you win the first place, you can slap these guys in the face, and then leave your parents' names on the clan's stone tablet, wouldn't it be great?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"I'll just forget it..."
Yao Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Although his alchemy skills are good, they are still far behind those of the top masters in the medicine clan. His skills may be okay in the Danta Dan Conference, but they are a bit lacking in this pharmacopoeia.
Only someone like Lin Ran, who not only has superb alchemy skills but also possesses top-level strange fire and has sufficient cultivation and fighting spirit, can compete for a place in this pharmacopoeia.
…
While the two were talking, the flow of people around the stone platform was getting larger and larger. In the end, all kinds of noisy sounds reached the sky, and the buzzing sound even shook the clouds in the sky apart.
The sound waves spread, and suddenly there was a sound of a bell resounding in the sky. Immediately, many people from the Medicine Clan quickly stood up, and respectful voices spread out in a mighty manner.
"Welcome, Chief."
Amid the resounding welcome, the clouds in the sky rolled over and then automatically split apart, revealing a white-haired old man in a white robe who slowly walked out.
The space where his feet landed was emitting strange fluctuations, and the invisible space seemed to have condensed into substance at this moment.
"The chief of the Medicine Clan?"
Looking at the kind-looking white-haired old man, Lin Ran's eyes narrowed slightly.
Although the latter's cultivation is not as good as the previous Soul Demon, but with his powerful soul strength and the secret techniques passed down by the Medicine Clan since ancient times, his strength is bound to surpass the Four Soul Saints of the Soul Clan.
"This is the patriarch of the Yao Clan, Yao Dan."
Yao Chen looked at the white-haired old man with slightly complicated eyes. No matter what, the blood of the Yao clan flowed in his body. When he saw the clan leader, he felt some inexplicable emotions in his heart.
"A late Seven Star Fighting Saint, he is worthy of the title of the patriarch of the ancient race."
"Haha, the visitor is a guest..."
In the sky, Yao Dan, the patriarch of the Medicine Clan, showed a gentle smile on his old face. He bowed to the densely packed crowd. Then his gaze suddenly passed over the crowd and stopped on Yao Chen. His eyes flickered slightly with a complicated look.
Yao Chen slowly raised his head, looked directly at Yao Dan, smiled faintly, and said with a bow: "Greetings, Chief Yao Dan."
"Yao Chen...we all made a mistake."
Yao Dan stared at Yao Chen, then looked at Lin Ran, his eyes full of emotion. He then let out a sigh whose meaning was indecipherable. He took a step forward and appeared, seated in the main seat amidst the respectful welcome of many Yao clan elders.
"Haha, old Yaodan, are you finally willing to come out of seclusion this time?"
Just as Yao Dan had just taken his seat, another voice filled with vicissitudes of life slowly spread across the sky.
Along with this voice, there was also an extremely strong medicinal aroma.
Then everyone saw that there was suddenly a flash of green light in the distant sky. In a few moments, a light green medicine cauldron quickly broke through the air.
On top of the medicine cauldron, there was an old man sitting cross-legged in ordinary linen clothes. In the old man's hand, he was leaning on a cane that looked like it was woven from medicinal herbs. On the cane were hung many jade bottles, which made crisp tinkling sounds when shaken.
"Old Shennong, I didn't expect that even this senior would show up!"
When he saw this person, a look of surprise suddenly flashed across Yao Chen's eyes.
Although the name of this old man Shennong does not sound very famous, he is an extremely old senior in the world of alchemy. Even Yao Chen can only treat him as a junior compared to him. No one expected that this person who has been missing for many years would appear here.
"Haha, you old guy, you are still alive."
Yao Dan also chuckled, but there was no sign of surprise on his face.
Elder Shennong stood up from the medicine cauldron, waved his sleeves, and put the cauldron away. His vicissitudes of life glanced around, and then stopped at Lin Ran. He exclaimed in surprise, and then smiled and said, "I haven't been out of the mountains for many years. I didn't expect that there would be a newcomer in Zhongzhou. With such cultivation and soul strength..."
"Meet Senior Shennong."
Lin Ran smiled calmly and responded politely.
Old man Shennong nodded with a smile, and just as he was about to sit down, his brows suddenly frowned.
Suddenly, black clouds appeared behind it and finally spread out at an astonishing speed.
In the blink of an eye, the black cloud reached the top of the mountain. The black cloud condensed and turned into a middle-aged man in black. With the appearance of this man, a low humming sound suddenly spread between heaven and earth, like the wailing of a soul.
"I am Hunxuzi from the Hun clan. I have come uninvited. I hope that Chief Yaodan clan leader will not be offended." The man in black smiled faintly, and his unhurried voice spread in the air.
"Hun Xuzi..."
Lin Ran sneered and glanced grimly at the medicine world.
The appearance of Hunxuzi means that the battle for the demise of the Medicine Clan in the original novel will still take place.
That's right. The Soul Clan had been planning for who knows how long to seize the remaining bloodlines of these ancient races. How could they give up so easily just because of him?
But next…
"Nine-star Dousheng-level Void Devouring Flame..."
Lin Ran's eyes gradually became serious. That guy might be difficult to deal with.
