Battle Through the Heavens: Marry Cao Ying, Reward is Devouring Ancestral Symbol

Special medicinal materialsUpon hearing this, Yao Ling immediately opened the jade box gently.

Inside the box lay a Spiritual Plant emitting a faint purple glow, its medicinal fragrance clear and crisp.

”Great Master, this is a purple spirit grass, a primary ingredient for refining the Sixth-Rank Medicinal Pill, ’Mixed Origin Bone Sculpting Pill’,” Yao Ling respectfully introduced.

However, Shen Wen’s gaze did not linger on the impressive purple spirit grass.

His eyes were firmly fixed on the almost imperceptible few drops of light green liquid on the leaves of the purple spirit grass.

If he hadn’t already possessed a Heavenly Realm Soul and extraordinary perception, he would never have noticed this anomaly, which was almost integrated with the leaf veins.

’This aura... gentle and lingering, containing extremely hidden vitality and purifying power... Could it be the bodhi transformation saliva? Even if not, it’s definitely not an ordinary item!’

Thoughts raced through Shen Wen’s mind, but his expression remained unchanged as he directly stated:

”I’ll take this purple spirit grass.”

Before his words fully landed, another jade bottle containing a Dou Ling Pill was casually tossed to Yao Ling, and at the same time, he reached out to take the jade box.

”Wait!”

Just as Shen Wen’s hand was about to touch the jade box, a hand suddenly reached out from the side, also grabbing towards the jade box, accompanied by a voice tinged with arrogance and delight:

”Haha, what a coincidence! I was just about to try refining the Mixed Origin Bone Sculpting Pill and couldn’t find this purple spirit grass anywhere. I didn’t expect to encounter it here today! This item is destined to be mine!”

Shen Wen looked up and saw a red-faced old man in a pale yellow robe staring intensely at the purple spirit grass, a triumphant smile on his face.

He couldn’t be bothered with idle chatter. With a slight thought, the power of the space ancestral talisman silently spread out.

The red-faced old man’s outstretched hand suddenly froze in mid-air, just three inches from the jade box, as if caught in an invisible quagmire. No matter how much he secretly exerted force, he couldn’t advance another inch!

The smile on the old man’s face instantly froze, replaced by astonishment.

While he was stunned, Shen Wen calmly picked up the purple spirit grass along with the jade box and steadily placed them into his storage ring.

Only when the jade box disappeared did the invisible force restraining his hand suddenly vanish.

The red-faced old man nearly stumbled due to exerting too much force.

He suddenly looked up at Shen Wen, his face reddening further with shame and anger, his eyes blazing with fury as he roared:

”Kid! How dare you snatch something from this old man? Are your dog eyes blind? Don’t you recognize Qi Shan, the chief Alchemist of my Black Emperor Sect?!”

His chest heaved, and his voice carried a threat:

”In this Black Emperor City, offending me, Qi Shan, means offending the Black Emperor Sect! Can you bear the consequences?!”

The commotion here had already attracted everyone’s attention.

Workshop Master Yao’s face turned pale. He looked at Qi Shan, then at the calm Shen Wen, sweating profusely from anxiety, yet not daring to interrupt rashly.

Cao Ying and the other women also noticed the conflict and walked over.

Cao Ying’s enchanting eyes swept over Qi Shan, and a mocking curve appeared at the corner of her lips. Her voice was not loud, but it clearly reached everyone’s ears:

”Oh, what great prestige. The chief Alchemist of the Black Emperor Sect can just snatch things others have already bought?”

Qi Shan snorted, ”I’m planning to refine the Mixed Origin Bone Sculpting Pill to ask our Sect’s distinguished guest, a Sixth-Rank Alchemist, for guidance!”

”You people are not just offending me, but also a Sixth-Rank Alchemist!”

Yao Ling scoffed inwardly at this, but her face showed no signs of panic.

Her Thousand Medicine Workshop and the Black Emperor Sect were cooperative and mutually beneficial, not subordinate.

Moreover, she remembered clearly.

This Mr. Kunpeng before her resided in the most distinguished ’Heaven’ character courtyard of the Black Emperor Pavilion, a figure for whom even the Young Sect Leader Mo Ya personally stood guard respectfully.

How could his status be comparable to Qi Shan’s?

This Qi Shan must have been muddled from his recent closed-door cultivation, preoccupied only with how to Break through to a Sixth-Rank Alchemist, completely unaware that a true Dragon had arrived in the city.

Or rather, he didn’t even recognize a true Dragon when it was right in front of him.

Elder Yan, standing nearby, stroked his beard with a faint, almost imperceptible smile.

He and Qi Shan had always been at odds, and at this moment, he was happy to see the other party hit a snag, without any intention of warning him.

Shen Wen didn’t even glance at the old man, whose face was red with anger, and directly instructed Yao Ling: ”Regarding the list of medicinal ingredients I gave you earlier, if you have any information, send it directly to my residence. You know the place.”

Yao Ling immediately bowed, her tone extremely respectful: ”Yes, Great Master, this Junior understands.”

”Also, who brought this item?”

Shen Wen couldn’t determine whether it was the bodhi transformation saliva yet, so he could only go back and carefully examine it with his Soul Power.

But he needed to clarify its origin.

”It was left by a Dou King, but he’s not here today. He entrusted me to sell it here.”

”Tell him I want to see him, have him come find me.”

”Yes!”

Yao Ling nodded. Although he was a Dou King, in front of a Sixth-Rank Alchemist, he was merely a minor character.

Not to mention, this person was very likely a Dou Zong.

After Shen Wen finished his instructions, he turned to leave with Cao Ying and the others.

”Stop! Kid, did I tell you to leave?!”

Qi Shan was furious that the other party dared to completely ignore him.

He was used to throwing his weight around in Black Emperor City. Even fellow Fifth-Rank Alchemists had to be polite to him, didn’t they?

When had he ever suffered such humiliation!

Seeing Shen Wen about to leave, he instinctively reached out to grab Shen Wen’s arm.

The moment his hand lifted, a cold female voice suddenly rang out:

”Presumptuous!”

Before her words finished, Cao Ying raised her jade hand, and a streak of light, whistling through the air, accurately smacked Qi Shan in the face with a ’crack’!

The force was considerable. Qi Shan cried out, seeing stars, stumbled back a few steps, and landed on his backside, looking utterly dishevelled.

He clutched the side of his face, which had instantly swollen red, and looked up in shock and anger. Just as he was about to curse, his gaze suddenly froze on the object on the ground.

It was a badge, clearly engraved with six ripples.

A Sixth-Rank Alchemist Badge!

Qi Shan felt as if someone had choked him. All his curses were stuck in his throat, his eyes wide, the color instantly draining from his face, leaving only terror and disbelief.

Cao Ying looked down at him, her beautiful eyes filled with killing intent, her voice dripping with undisguised sarcasm:

”Open your dog eyes and see clearly!”

She grabbed in mid-air with her slender hand, and the badge flew back into her palm.

”You dare to stop us, and even try to attack? Who gave you the guts!”

Qi Shan slumped on the ground, looking at the genuine Sixth-Rank badge in Cao Ying’s hand.

Then he looked at Shen Wen beside her, and at Yao Ling and Elder Yan’s gazes filled with pity and mockery, and instantly understood everything.

He had been blind, crashing into a steel plate!

And the kind that could kill him!

So, the Sixth-Rank Alchemist who came to the Sect was this person, and he had actually planned to use his name to threaten him?

He trembled all over, cold sweat instantly drenched his back, and he opened his mouth, but couldn’t utter a single word, completely devoid of his previous arrogance.

Shen Wen didn’t even bother to give him another look, as if he had just casually brushed away a noisy fly.

He nodded slightly to Cao Ying, his tone gentle: ”Let’s go.”

Yao Ling watched their departing backs, then glanced at the dejected Qi Shan on the ground, and shook her head.

Elder Yan then slowly walked forward, pretending to help Qi Shan up, his tone filled with thinly veiled schadenfreude:

”Old Brother Qi, you... alas, truly... you didn’t even recognize a true Dragon when it was right in front of you.

Originally, that person had some connection with your Sect. A casual pointer from him might have allowed you to Break through to a Sixth-Rank Alchemist, you know?

”Now look, all your efforts have been in vain!”
