I, the Villain, Become Invincible the More Descendants I Have

Chapter 134 The Nine-Turn Pill is Completed, Shocking the Entire Audience; The Empty Shell Medicine God Reveals His True FormThree days later, Wanyao Valley was ten times livelier than the day the Medicine God descended.

Every alchemist, sect elder, and powerful rogue cultivator in the Southern Region crowded the mountains and plains, and even the hillsides outside the valley were packed with people.

Some came to see the Medicine God show his might, some came for the prize of a 7th Grade Immortal Pill, but most wanted to witness with their own eyes whether Emperor Cao Xukun, that mortal martial artist, would dare to keep his promise and crash the Wanyao Valley’s event.

On the Wanyao Platform in the center of the valley, eighteen alchemy furnaces were lined up in a row, their fires burning fiercely.

Great Elder Yao Qianchen stood in the center of the high platform, dressed in a Daoist robe embroidered with hundred-herb patterns, holding a horsetail whisk with an arrogant expression.

Although Emperor Cao Xukun had publicly exposed the theft of their treasures three days ago, he remained stubborn, insisting on blaming Emperor Cao Xukun for ”sneaking and stealing,” and maintained that the Medicine God’s 9th Grade Medicinal Physique was unrivaled in the world.

”Everyone!” Great Elder Yao Qianchen channeled his spiritual power, his voice echoing throughout the valley. ”Today’s Wanyao Conference is a grand event unseen in the ten thousand years of our Southern Region’s alchemy path! Three days ago, that thief Emperor Cao Xukun snuck into our valley and stole our two valley-protecting treasures. It is simply despicable and shameless!”

”But Heaven has its own justice! His Highness the Medicine God was born with a 9th Grade Medicinal Physique. Even without the treasures, he is still the number one alchemy genius in the Immortal World! Today, let everyone witness with their own eyes what a true Heaven-sent Medicine God looks like!”

As his voice fell, Qingyun Lie walked slowly onto the high platform, holding the swaddled Yao Tiansheng in his arms.

He forced himself to appear calm, squeezing a smile onto his face: ”Today, I and His Highness the Medicine God set up a challenge here! Anyone who can surpass any member of our Wanyao Valley in alchemy will be rewarded with a 7th Grade Immortal Pill! If anyone can surpass His Highness the Medicine God, I am willing to hand over the entire Qingyun Dynasty with both hands!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar!

”Holy crap! Playing so big? The entire Qingyun Dynasty as a prize?”

”It seems Qingyun Lie is truly desperate, betting his entire fortune on the Medicine God!”

”But the Medicine God was only born three days ago, how can they compete? Surely they can’t make an infant refine pills, right?”

Great Elder Yao Qianchen quickly explained: ”His Highness the Medicine God is born extraordinary; although young, he already understands all herbs! Today we are not competing in alchemy, but in herb identification! As long as someone can identify the herbs His Highness the Medicine God points to, they win!”

The crowd suddenly realized, so it was a word game. A newborn infant pointing at a random herb—who knows if he recognizes it? It was clearly cheating, trying to use this to muddle through.

Just then, a calm voice came from the entrance of the valley: ”No need to compare herb identification, let’s compare alchemy directly. I’m afraid you’ll lose too ugly.”

Everyone turned their heads in unison to look, only to see Emperor Cao Xukun dressed in a black dragon robe, walking slowly into the valley. General Black Tiger followed behind carrying a large blade, and one hundred thousand Xuan Armor Army soldiers lined up at the valley entrance, full of killing intent, surrounding the entire Wanyao Valley tightly.

Wherever Emperor Cao Xukun passed, the crowd automatically parted to make a path, and no one dared to look him in the eye. He walked straight onto the Wanyao Platform, his gaze sweeping over the pale-faced Great Elder Yao Qianchen and Qingyun Lie, his tone flat: ”Didn’t you brag that the Medicine God is the number one of all time? Today I will compete with him in alchemy. Whatever grade of pill he can refine, I will refine one two grades higher. If I lose, I will immediately withdraw from the Southern Region and never step foot into the Immortal World again.”

The whole audience instantly exploded into chaos!

”He’s crazy! Competing in alchemy against a newborn Medicine God? And two grades higher?”

”Is Emperor Cao Xukun too arrogant? He’s a martial artist, what does he know about alchemy?”

”I think he’s won so much he’s gotten cocky! He’s definitely going to stumble this time!”

Great Elder Yao Qianchen was overjoyed; he was worried about how to back down, and now Emperor Cao Xukun had delivered himself to his door! He quickly said: ”Good! It’s a deal! If you lose, not only must you withdraw from the Southern Region, you must also return the shennong cauldron and the shennong materia medica, and cripple your own cultivation!”

”Fine.” Emperor Cao Xukun nodded indifferently, ”But if you lose, the entire Wanyao Valley and the remaining forces of the Qingyun Dynasty must all submit to Great Xuan.”

”No problem!” Great Elder Yao Qianchen agreed without a second thought. In his view, Emperor Cao Xukun was just an alchemy novice; let alone beating the Medicine God, even an entry-level disciple of Wanyao Valley could easily defeat him.

”Then let’s begin.” Emperor Cao Xukun pointed to the alchemy furnace beside him, ”Let your Medicine God refine first.”

Qingyun Lie held Yao Tiansheng and walked to an alchemy furnace. Great Elder Yao Qianchen quickly handed over a common Qi-Condensing Grass and whispered: ”Your Highness, quick, throw this in.”

Yao Tiansheng blinked, grabbed the Qi-Condensing Grass, and threw it on the ground.

The whole audience went silent instantly.

Great Elder Yao Qianchen’s face turned the color of a liver, and he quickly picked up the Qi-Condensing Grass and stuffed it into Yao Tiansheng’s hands: ”Your Highness, throw it in the furnace, quickly, throw it in the furnace.”

Yao Tiansheng was obedient this time, raising his hand and throwing the Qi-Condensing Grass into Qingyun Lie’s arms nearby.

”Pfft!” I don’t know who laughed first, but immediately after, the whole audience erupted into thunderous laughter.

”Hahaha! This is the Medicine God of all time? He can’t even throw a Qi-Condensing Grass!”

”I’m dying of laughter! Still a 9th Grade Medicinal Physique? I think it’s more like a 9th Grade Rice Bucket!”

”A massive scene of pretentious failure! Their faces have been slapped swollen!”

Qingyun Lie and Great Elder Yao Qianchen’s faces were as black as the bottom of a pot, wishing they could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. Great Elder Yao Qianchen was annoyed and embarrassed, shouting sternly: ”What are you laughing at! His Highness the Medicine God is just too young and hasn’t adapted yet! I will refine for His Highness the Medicine God! I will refine a 7th Grade Immortal Pill, let’s see how you win!”

He rushed to the alchemy furnace, hurriedly tossing herbs into the furnace. Thousand-year ginseng, ten-thousand-year snow lotus, he poured them in as if they were free. After struggling for a full half-hour, sweating profusely, he finally refined a pill emitting a faint golden light.

”Do you see! This is a 7th Grade Immortal Pill—the Longevity Pill!” Great Elder Yao Qianchen held up the pill triumphantly, ”Even if His Highness the Medicine God doesn’t make a move, I, an elder, can easily defeat you! For a mortal martial artist like you, it would be good if you could refine a 3rd Grade pill!”

Many in the audience nodded. A 7th Grade Immortal Pill was already the highest grade that could be refined in the Southern Region, and Great Elder Yao Qianchen was indeed justified in being proud of being able to refine it.

However, Emperor Cao Xukun just glanced indifferently at the Longevity Pill and shook his head: ”Just this? With so many impurities, you dare to call it a 7th Grade Immortal Pill? My dog wouldn’t even eat it.”

”You are spouting nonsense!” Great Elder Yao Qianchen was trembling with rage, ”If you have the ability, refine one and let’s see! If you can’t refine a pill higher than the 7th grade, let’s see how you end this!”

Emperor Cao Xukun ignored him, waved his hand, and the shennong cauldron appeared on the platform out of thin air. The medicinal patterns on the cauldron flowed, emitting a rich aura of life, instantly overshadowing the light of all other alchemy furnaces.

He casually grabbed a handful of herbs from the pile of herbs nearby and threw them into the shennong cauldron without even looking. There were no complex hand seals, no tedious steps, just a snap of his fingers.

”Boom!” The shennong cauldron automatically ignited with golden flames, and the herbs instantly melted and purified.

The whole audience instantly quieted down, everyone’s eyes wide open, their faces full of disbelief.

”Holy crap! It’s starting just like that? He’s not even picking the herbs?”

”He doesn’t even need to look at the pill recipe? This is too outrageous!”

”He’s faking it, right? He must be faking it! The furnace will definitely explode in a moment!”

However, just three minutes later, the lid of the shennong cauldron opened automatically. A brilliant golden light shot into the sky, nine phantom images of golden giant dragons circled the mouth of the cauldron, and waves of medicinal fragrance swept through the entire Wanyao Valley, making even the spiritual herbs all over the mountains and plains grow more lush.

A golden immortal pill, flowing with nine patterns, slowly flew out from the cauldron and hovered in mid-air. Dark clouds gathered in the sky, and a purple pill thunderbolt struck down, but was easily absorbed by the immortal pill.

”Nine... 9th Grade Immortal Pill! It’s the nine-turn soul returning pill!”

An old alchemist in the crowd screamed, trembling with excitement, ”The legendary nine-turn soul returning pill that can bring the dead back to life and regrow flesh and bones! I actually got to see a 9th Grade Immortal Pill in my lifetime!”

The whole audience instantly exploded into chaos!

”Oh my god! It really is a 9th Grade Immortal Pill! Refining a 9th Grade Immortal Pill in three minutes! Is he even human?”

”Great Elder Yao Qianchen spent half an hour refining a trash 7th grade, and he casually produced a 9th grade in three minutes! The gap is just too huge!”

”What Medicine God of all time! In front of Emperor Cao Xukun, he’s not even fit to carry his shoes!”

Great Elder Yao Qianchen collapsed on the ground, his face ashen, muttering to himself: ”Impossible... This is absolutely impossible... A martial artist like him, how could he refine a 9th Grade Immortal Pill...”

Qingyun Lie held Yao Tiansheng, his whole body shaking like a sieve. He finally understood that the Heaven-sent Medicine God they were so proud of was truly just a joke. All their hopes had been shattered from the very beginning.

Emperor Cao Xukun raised his hand, and the nine-turn soul returning pill fell into his hand. He looked at the ashen-faced Great Elder Yao Qianchen and Qingyun Lie, his tone flat but carrying an absolute sense of overwhelming power: ”Now, you have lost.”

”According to our agreement, the entire Wanyao Valley and all remaining forces of the Qingyun Dynasty must submit to Great Xuan.”

As his voice fell, countless cultivators below the platform knelt on the ground one after another, shouting loudly: ”We are willing to submit to Great Xuan! Hail to His Majesty Emperor Xuan!”

”Long live His Majesty Emperor Xuan! Long live Great Xuan!”

The mountain-shaking, sea-roaring shouts made the valley hum. The disciples of Wanyao Valley also threw down their weapons and knelt on the ground. The situation was gone, and no one was willing to risk their lives for a hollow Medicine God anymore.

Just then, an angry roar suddenly sounded: ”Emperor Cao Xukun! I’ll fight you to the death!”

Supreme Elder Yao Xuanzi rushed out from the crowd, his body erupting with the pressure of a mid-stage Golden Immortal, turning into a poisonous mist, and pounced fiercely towards Emperor Cao Xukun.
