Although young, Chen Ming was quite shrewd. In just one conversation, he made Chen Li feel utterly disgusted. This kid truly had no shame at all! Just moments ago, he had been secretly instigating the disciples of the Holy Spirit Palace to cause trouble, and all those actions were still fresh in his mind. Yet here he was, able to say such things without even a hint of embarrassment. Truly a talent!
The few disciples from the Holy Spirit Palace who had died were probably still steaming with anger. At that moment, disciples from the Heavenly Dao Sect and Golden Sun Sect gathered around, each one earnestly trying to dissuade Chen Li.
"Chen Li, Young Master is right. You are brothers, bound by blood; how can there be any real hatred between you?"
Yes, yes, it is only natural for brothers to support each other.
Each person who spoke wore a look of benevolence. Chen Li forced a smile as he looked at Chen Ming, his heart filled with cold laughter. This guy had clearly changed his attitude because he saw that Chen Li had refined an exceptional Breaking Barrier Pill. Moreover, this attitude was obviously put on for the benefit of the surrounding disciples from the Heavenly Dao Sect and Golden Sun Sect.
Indeed, he was the favorite son of that Scumbag Dad! The two were truly cut from the same cloth—equally hypocritical and equally nauseating!
"Chen Ming, the Wuding Marquisate has long severed ties with me; we cannot be considered brothers at all. As for you, I am even less worthy," Chen Li said sarcastically. "As for our alchemy collaboration, that might not be a good idea either. After all, your Alchemist from the Holy Spirit Palace deliberately manipulated the flames to ruin my elixir!"
With that, Chen Li turned his gaze toward the trembling Short and Stout Alchemist. He had come to help Young Master vent his anger, but now it seemed he was being used as a scapegoat by Chen Li.
Young Master's methods were well known to him. Immediately, he scrambled to his feet and knelt on the ground before Chen Ming, begging for mercy: "Young Master, I was just momentarily confused..."
But before he could finish his sentence, his body collapsed with a thud, blood splattering against the rocks and blooming into several crimson flowers. The air was thick with the heavy scent of blood mixed with the fragrant aroma of elixirs, creating an eerie atmosphere.
Chen Ming withdrew his raised hand and cast a dark look at Chen Li. "I have dealt with him; can we cooperate now?"
Chen Li's pupils constricted slightly.
He never expected that Chen Ming would be so ruthless, killing even a Senior Alchemist without hesitation. However, that Alchemist was filled with malevolent energy, surrounded by Wraiths, clearly stained with the blood of many; his death was hardly regrettable.
Watching Chen Ming, who still wanted to negotiate cooperation, Chen Li shrugged innocently. "I only thought he would compensate me with a few pills. Who knew you would be so decisive and just kill him? Tsk tsk, such methods are truly astonishing."
Chen Li deliberately elongated his last words, his tone dripping with sarcasm. The disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect and Golden Sun Sect fell silent, not daring to breathe. They all looked at Chen Ming in disbelief. Who could have imagined that a child barely over eight years old could be so cruel? If they were to clash with the Holy Spirit Palace, their fate would likely be no better.
As soon as Chen Li finished speaking, Chen Ming shot him a venomous glare. "Are you playing me?" He spat out each word through clenched teeth, each one laced with icy disdain.
Chen Li feigned innocence, crossing his arms. "What do you mean? I only said I would consider it!"
Chen Ming's fists clenched and relaxed repeatedly. After several moments of this, he finally calmed down. Very well!
The tension around them was palpable. Everyone expected Chen Ming to explode in anger and retaliate against Chen Li, but instead, he simply shot Chen Li a deep look before turning to leave.
"Unappreciative fool!" Chen Ming tossed this remark over his shoulder as he vanished into the crowd.
Once Chen Ming left, the air around them began to flow again. The disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect and Golden Sun Sect exchanged glances. This Chen Ming was so young yet possessed such a ruthless heart. Indeed, killing someone over a disagreement—who would dare cooperate with him in the future?
It seemed that Chen Li had ulterior motives as well; he had intentionally provoked Chen Ming into killing his own subordinate only to backtrack later.
Various discussions erupted around them, but Chen Li paid no mind. He turned to Shen Qingyue, who was curiously examining the Xuan Gang Pill with her big watery eyes.
Chen Li casually held out the pill in front of her, speaking as if he were offering a candy: "Here, Breaking Barrier Pill. Take it and play with it."
Shen Qingyue blinked in surprise before reaching out her delicate hand to accept the pill, exclaiming in delight, "Is this for me?"
Chen Li couldn't help but laugh. "Who else would I give it to?"
As soon as those words were spoken, the surroundings fell into an instant silence, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Everyone stood there, stunned, as if struck by lightning, staring at the scene before them.
A top-tier elixir! The Breaking Barrier Pill! Just like that, casually given to a little girl who wasn't even nine years old?
It was well known that in the current Qian Sheng Empire, for cultivators, the Mystic Boundary was a massive hurdle. Countless individuals remained trapped below the Mystic Boundary for their entire lives, never able to take another step forward.
The reason the Three Major Forces and the Imperial Academy could stand as leading entities was precisely because they enabled more cultivators to break through the Mystic Boundary, attracting countless practitioners like moths to a flame.
This was something that many Lone Cultivators yearned for but could not obtain; many would go to any lengths just to acquire a Breaking Barrier Pill.
But what about Chen Li? Not only had he refined one, but he had casually handed it over to Shen Qingyue as if it were an ordinary piece of candy!
Yue Shan and many other Lone Cultivators felt their eyelids twitching with envy. They had worked hard for most of their lives, still struggling to break through the Mystic Boundary, while a little girl under nine years old had effortlessly obtained a Breaking Barrier Pill!
How could they bear this?
Chen Li took in everyone's expressions, as if he could see through their thoughts directly. He then turned to those eager Lone Cultivators and smiled, saying, "Don't worry, seniors. Everyone will get one shortly."
Upon hearing this, everyone was completely stunned. One for each person? Was this some kind of dream?
Each person was so excited they stumbled over their words, finding it hard to believe. After all, the success rate for refining Breaking Barrier Pills was extremely low, especially for such top-tier Mystic-grade elixirs—there were hardly any available.
With so many of them present, even half a pill per person would be a dream come true!
Gulp!
Yue Shan couldn't help but swallow hard and confirmed again, "Young friend Chen Li, are you serious? You can really refine more Breaking Barrier Pills?"
