Chapter 511: Fighting For No Reason
“What did you just say? That I know nothing of power?”
Mao Dao flinched before he burst out laughing.
“That group of so-called special forces could not even hold up against me! How is it that you can still find a reason to talk about power with me?! What a stupid topic to discuss with a frog in a well!”
“Enough chit chat! Mao Dao, bring me his leg! I will let him know pain! I will make you kneel and beg like a dog!”
Zhuang Bufan grinned and crossed his arms arrogantly, waiting from the sidelines for his servant to take care of Chen Xiaobei.
There were a number of spectators on the set, which included the renowned director Feng Yaolun. They all wore the same dejected expression on their faces. It was apparent that they detested Zhuang Bufan’s behavior and att.i.tude yet there was nothing that they could do to stop it. Zhuang Bufan’s influence was so strong that everyone was forced to turn a blind eye and cover their ears to all Zhuang Bufan had to say and do.
Naturally, only Tang Mengwan was an exception. She was still trying her best to knock some sense into Chen Xiaobei.
“Why did you remove the mask?! You’d expose your face! They will know where to find you now!” Tang Mengwan sighed heavily. “Leave now! Go!”
“Leave? There’s no way for me to leave!”
Mao Dao snarled with a strong killing intent and zoomed towards Chen Xiaobei with his palm ready to strike Chen Xiaobei. Knowing his own power, Chen Xiaobei refused to budge. With a flash, Chen Xiaobei sidestepped to the left and grabbed Mao Dao’s thrusting arms at the wrist, restraining him completely.
“What?!”
Mao Dao was stunned, he knew something was not right when Chen Xiaobei was able to sidestep from his strike. His speed was so fast; he was able to stop a thrusting palm strike in midair! There could only be one reason and that reason was Chen Xiaobei being much stronger; much faster!
“What are you doing! Let me go!” cried Mao Dao as he forcefully wrangled his fist from Chen Xiaobei’s grip. Unfortunately for Mao Dao, that long muscular arm did not budge, not even a little. His grip was comparable to that of an iron claw! Not the kind that you can find in the crane machine in the arcade center! No! It was the same kind of force that could lift a car! His grip was so strong that Mao Dao could feel his bones being crushed!
“Crack!”
With a swift movement and a loud snapping echo, Mao Dao’s arm was snapped. Mao Dao immediately dropped to his knees as the pain of the unrecoverable arm had overwhelmed him.
“ARGH! URGH!”
The veins in his forehead popped and sweat dripped down to his chin.
It was only then Mao Dao realized Chen Xiaobei’s words. However, it was already too late for him to understand what Chen Xiaobei meant. His strength was truly something unknown to Mao Dao! He knew nothing about power!
The difference between Chen Xiaobei and Mao Dao was like the sun and moon. Mao Dao could never catch up with Chen Xiaobei as he was too strong. He was on a whole other level yet Mao Dao had dared to even put up a tough man façade! Like an ant looking down on a human!
“Hmph!”
Without saying a word, Chen Xiaobei directed his legs towards Mao Dao’s face and kicked the man to the ground, forcing the man to hurl a pool of his own blood.
In an instant, the surrounding audience immediately went quiet. It was certain that everyone’s heart had skipped a beat. It was like a dream! How would a man such as Chen Xiaobei defeat the man who could single-handedly destroy an entire team of special forces?!
Unexpected, Chen Xiaobei had continued his a.s.sault. He had no intention to stop as he paced forward to the man that was the root of the unnecessary brawls. Zhuang Bufan Bufan.
The man could feel his b.a.l.l.s shrink as Chen Xiaobei approached him like a panther stalking a gazelle. How was he able to do that?! How was it possible that a man dared to raise his fist against a member of the Zhuang Family?! Did he know no fear?
“No…G-Get away from me!” Zhuang Bufan was so scared that he was struggling to keep his bladder from leaking.
However, before he could open his mouth again, Chen Xiaobei had swiftly glided across the floor and had Zhuang Bufan in a mid-air choke hold. A 180cm tall man was lifted like a dead dog.
“L…et…m…e…go…”
Zhuang Bufan was struggling to breathe and was clearly shaking with fear, yet he did not even try to stop provoking Chen Xiaobei!
“Don’t you know who I am?! I am the son of Zhuang Shengyun! I am the younger brother of Zhuang Bifan! If even a single hair of mine is harmed, I a.s.sure you that they will have you minced into dog food!”
“A single hair? Please, how could that be enough?”
Chen Xiaobei was already p.i.s.sed off. However, when he heard the name Zhuang Bufan Bifan, he grew angrier.
“HMPH!”
Chen Xiaobei grabbed Zhuang Bufan in his collar and shook him violently. He then exerted his strength in his right leg and knee-kicked Zhuang Bufan’s stomach at supersonic speed.
The knee kick was so strong that Zhuang Bufan could feel his internal organs being crushed, like it was about to be turned into a pile of minced meat! The stuff that was in his stomach was pushed out in two directions; one almost came out from his mouth, and the other was sent straight away to his r.e.c.t.u.m. The man did well by clenching his a.n.u.s tight enough.
“Try and say something c.o.c.ky again! Go ahead! Try me! Come on! Why are you stopping?”
Chen Xiaobei held Zhuang Bufan by the collar and lifted him up to his face.
“Let me share a bit of information. I really like to beat up wannabe thugs! You can summon your brother or your father to this set. I’ll still f*ck them up nicely!”
The rest of the bodyguards could not bear to stand idly when their master was being beaten like a dog. Despite knowing that they would be defeated, they came anyway. Instead of charging into the brawl one man at a time, they leaped into the fight together. Perhaps they thought that with that many punches and kicks, one of them was bound to inflict injury.
“Idiots.”
Chen Xiaobei scoffed at their futile attempt. He was even lazy to move so he held Zhuang Bufan by the collar of his s.h.i.+rt and swung him around.
*Thud! Thud!*
Both fists landed directly on Zhuang Bufan’s eyes and made them swell like a panda’s!
“Argh…b.l.o.o.d.y kid! You dared to use me as a human s.h.i.+eld…” Zhuang Bufan cried as tears began to leak out of the swollen eyes. His own bodyguard had beaten him… How did it all turn out that way..?
Since all of the bodyguards jumped at Chen Xiaobei at the same time, they had no time to react and retract their attacks. In that instance, all sorts of attacks that were meant for Chen Xiaobei had landed on Zhuang Bufan.
“Ow… My face… My b.u.t.t… My b.u.t.thole… Urgh…”
When the attacks stopped, Zhuang Bufan immediately cried out, “STOP! ALL OF YOU IMBECILES! STOP!”
The rest of the bystanders who were witnessing the commotion were having a hard time holding back their laughter. However, they forbade themselves from doing so. It was both funny and uncomfortable at the same time!
The bodyguards immediately withdraw from the fight when they had seen what they had done to their master. Everyone single one of them felt like killing themselves at that moment. It’s either that or being skinned alive!
“What’s that I hear? Are you trying to act tough?!” cried Chen Xiaobei as he lifted Zhuang Bufan from the ground.
“No! No! I wouldn’t dare! Boo hoo!” He cried his eyes out.
The man was a grown up, yet he was still crying like a child after being beaten. Still, it was a wiser thing to do than continue to challenge Chen Xiaobei with his words!
Chapter 512: Two Little Cuties Are Finally Here
“Alright! I can let you off the hook if you can stop acting like an a.s.shole in front of me,” Chen Xiaobei let go of Zhuang Bufan and threw him to the ground like garbage. Zhuang Bufan was relieved. He used all his strength to get up but Chen Xiaobei landed another kick on him.
“Did I allow you to leave this place? I’m very fair. Earlier, you wanted me to bark like a dog, right? Now, I want you to kneel in front of me and bark like a dog! I then will give you the permission to crawl on the ground and leave this place!”
“I…”
Zhuang Bufan was stunned. He was the offspring of the Zhuang Family. He was supposed to have extreme privilege! He was bound to be humiliated when Chen Xiaobei ask him to bark like a dog and crawl on the ground. That face slapping moment was dedicated to Zhuang Bufan and his entire family! However, he was terrified the moment Chen Xiaobei defeated him, wanting to flee from this place as soon as possible. So, he did not dare to disobey Chen Xiaobei.
He knelt on the ground immediately and started to bark like a dog while crawling away from Chen Xiaobei. Chen Xiaobei then gazed coldly at the rest of the bodyguards. Naturally, they were afraid. All of them knelt down and started to do what Zhuang Bufan was doing.
*Woof!*
*Woof!*
*Woof!*
The sound of barking reverberated in the air. The crowd could not hold it back anymore and roared with laughter when they saw the funny scene in front of them. There was only one person who did not laugh at them.
“Young brother, you made a huge mistake this time…” Tang said seriously.
“I don’t really care. Just send your bodyguards to the hospital first. I will take care of my own business,” said Chen Xiaobei calmly. He then left the filming set. The crowd was still laughing out loud. None of them realized that Chen Xiaobei had left. Only Feng Yaolun saw Chen Xiaobei’s back when Chen Xiaobei walked away from them.
“What a heroic move… This is what a true hero does!”
“Director Fong… What should we do now?” asked a.s.sistant Huang.
“There is nothing we can do now. Our lead actor is disfigured. I think the whole filming crew should take a break first…” Director Fong sighed.
He then narrowed his gaze and asked, “Oh right! Don’t you think the young man just man looks very familiar?”
“He does look familiar. If not, I wouldn’t have chosen him just now…” a.s.sistant Huang said.
“Go and check him out! He was bold enough to beat Zhuang Bufan! He is definitely something!”
Back to number 66 filming set…
Wenyuan was still acting. Song Qincheng was trying to help her in every way possible. She had a dozen scenes to be shot on that day. It was going to be a busy day for her. Initially, Chen Xiaobei wanted to ask the both of them to have lunch with him. However, they did not have time to sit down and eat lunch with Chen Xiaobei at all. The filming crew ordered take out for them. Both of them started to work immediately after they finished their lunch.
Chen Xiaobei left the filming set when he saw the both of them were extremely busy. He called Lin Xiang on the way home. Her cellphone was still turned off. Chen Xiaobei was getting worried about her. Thus, he made a call to Elder Cao to ask about her. Elder Cao told Chen Xiaobei that Lin was placed in a well-protected place.
“It seems like I don’t have to worry about Xiang Xiang for now…Now, I need to increase my combat power as soon as possible!”
Chen Xiaobei knew clearly that Zhuang Family, Yap Family, Deathbane Blood Descendant, and the j.a.panese were his enemies. He would be defeated instantly if he failed to increase his combat power. Moreover, he wanted to set up his own faction six days later. By that time, Hu Haifeng would become Chen Xiaobei’s biggest enemy. There would be other enemies trying to destroy him slowly as well. It seemed a huge faction war was about to happen!
Food for thought. One can defeat countless powerful enemies if the person has enough combat power. Not even the shaking ground or crumbling sky can affect the person.
*Screech*
Chen Xiaobei was driving. He stepped on his brake pedal hard when he saw two people standing in front of his car. He lifted up his head and saw two around sixteen years old boys. Both of them were looking around with their curious gaze. The one that stood on the left side was shorter than the one that stood at the right side. He looked like a cla.s.sic cute boy as his features were adorable. This boy with fair and soft skin was pursing his lips. It was enough to make someone to hug him tightly.
The boy that stood on the right looked skinny and was a few centimeters taller than the boy that stood on his left. A charming vibe emanated from him. His two front teeth were slightly protruding. He also had a rebellious look.
“Could… Could it be…”
Chen Xiaobei was stunned. He could guess the ident.i.ties of two boys that were in front of his car. Two of them walked towards Chen Xiaobei when Chen Xiaobei wanted to ask them some questions.
“Are you G.o.d Chen Xiaobei?”
Both of them were looking at Chen Xiaobei with their big and round beautiful eyes.
“You… Are you NeZha the Third Prince?”
Chen Xiaobei knew that NeZha was adorable but he did not know that he was that cute! At first, Chen Xiaobei thought that he was a girl.
“Group leader! Bring me to do some dirty stuff!”
The rebellious-looking young boy was really excited. Her eyes were still fixing on Chen Xiaobei. At that time, Chen Xiaobei knew that the rebellious young boy was a perverted and experienced player.
“Are you Hong Haier?”
“Erm…I’m Chen Xiaobei… Get in the car… I’m going to bring you guys back to my home first…”
Chen Xiaobei then drove back to Wolong Mansion. Both of them were more active and energetic than Old w.a.n.g. They kept asking questions while they were on the way back to Chen Xiaobei’s house. Luckily Jiang Ziya told them quite a lot of things about Earth before they traveled down to the human realm. If not, Chen Xiaobei would be so bothered by them.
“Alright. We are home! Both of you stop asking questions! It’s my turn to ask a question now! What are your names?”
“My name is Li NeZha! The Li is Li NeZha’s Li and NeZha is Li NeZha’s NeZha!” NeZha said seriously.
“Um…”
Chen Xiaobei was speechless. He started to doubt that if he was the Third Prince that caused havoc in the sea and killed several dragons.
“My name is Tie Niu (Iron Bull)!”
*Blarrghh*
Chen Xiaobei’s hand shook. He almost drove his car down the mountain. He could not believe that such a handsome young man was called Tie Niu. Chen Xiaobei then thought again. Old w.a.n.g’s original name was w.a.n.g Husheng. It seemed like deities and monsters were not serious when they named their children.
Chen Xiaobei calmed himself down and said, “This is Earth… So, I need to rename the both of you here… If not, I can’t bring you back to my house…”
“We had no idea… Just do what you must!”
Both of them sounded pretty calm about changing their names.
Chen Xiaobei thought for a while and said, “NeZha, you are known as the Third Prince. I think I will name you Li San… Hmm… Li Sanqian!”
“Sanqian… Hmm… Okay! I am called Li Sanqian from this moment onwards!” NeZha put on a smile and said.
“How about me?”
Hong Haier could not help but ask. It seemed like Hong Haier did not like his real name.
“You are known as the Boy Sage King! Hmm… I think I should name you Hong Yin! Hong means ‘loud’ while Yin means ‘hero’!”
“Hero! Okay! I want to become a hero!”
Hong Haier was pleased with his new name.
“We are home now… How should I introduce the both of you here to my mom…” Chen Xiaobei scratched his head and said.
Chapter 513: This Is No Difference From Salted Fish
“Big Brother Xiaobei… Who is the one that leads this family? Your dad or mom?” NeZha asked.
“Usually, my mom is the one that makes decisions in this family. Why do you ask?”
“Hehe… You were struggling to introduce us to your family, right? Leave it to me…” NeZha said confidently.
“Don’t joke around… My mom is nice but she will not allow some random strangers to stay at our house without any valid reason.”
“You don’t have to worry about it at all… Don’t you forget, I brought an ability with me!”
“Your ability…”
Chen Xiaobei felt doubtful.
He then drove his car into Wolong Mansion.
Everyone was there. Chen Xiaobei’s dad and Jinliu were playing chess. Murong Tian was gardening. Chen Xiaobei’s mom was sitting on a chair knitting a sweater under the sun. Xiaoyao was sitting beside Chen Xiaobei’s mom to learn how to knit. Old w.a.n.g did not usually stream in the morning. So, he was strolling around in the garden with Sirius.
Xiaobai was still the same as usual. He was sleeping under the tree. A beautiful and peaceful scene like that made Chen Xiaobei feel like home was good. Chen Xiaobei’s mom stopped knitting when she saw two adorable young boys came out from Chen Xiaobei’s car. Xiaoyao was walking beside Chen Xiaobei’s mom. The rest of the men in the family looked at Chen Xiaobei but they were not planning to interfere with it. Chen Xiaobei’s mom was the one that made the decision ultimately. Plus, they were too lazy to deal with matters like that as well.
“Whose kids are these? They are so cute!”
Chen Xiaobei’s mom always wanted grandchildren. She was pleased when she saw the two good-looking young boys. Even Xiaoyao was attracted to their looks. Both of them looked like they came straight out of a manga. It was rare to see faces like that.
“h.e.l.lo, aunt! My name is Li Sanqian. He is Hong Yin! We would like to stay at your place!” NeZha said.
“Uh…”
Chen Xiaobei’s mom was stunned. She liked both of them but it was not logical to let strangers like them stay at her place. Plus, that was the first time both of them met Chen Xiaobei’s mom.
Xiaoyao frowned and thought. “You guys should provide Chen Xiaobei’s mom with a valid reason if you guys want to stay here.”
“Aunty… Please…”
NeZha walked towards Chen Xiaobei’s mom and hugged Chen Xiaobei’s mom’s arm. He was swinging her arm while staring at her with his soulful eyes and pursed lips. He was using his ability which was to act cute! His charm was boosted when he activated his skill.
“Okay! Okay! Okay! You have my permission! Both of you can stay at my place! Let me go and clean up a room for the both of you!”
Chen Xiaobei’s mom’s heart melted. She said yes to them without any hesitation.
Even Xiaoyao was drawn in by their cuteness. She said, “Let me go and help out as well!”
“Thank you, aunty! Thank you, sis!”
NeZha smiled and ran to Chen Xiaobei with his eyebrows raised.
“What do you think? My ability is pretty awesome, right?”
Chen Xiaobei was stunned for a few seconds and said, “d.a.m.n! This is the best skill to pursue girls! I think no woman in this world can resist your ability!”
Chen Xiaobei recalled the time where NeZha stole the bone of Demonic Black Dragon. His father wanted to spank his b.u.t.t but there were a group of G.o.ddesses who stood up for him! Even the G.o.ddesses in heaven could not resist his cuteness. Let alone the women on earth!
“Great minds think alike!”
Hong Haier nodded and said, “I told this kid earlier that his skill can be used to pursue girls but he wouldn’t listen to me! What a waste! Such a shame!”
“I’m still young! I cannot go after girls!” NeZha said seriously.
“Your brain is dead! Well, it’s good that you decided not to go after any girls! I have one less rival! Heh heh heh.”
“That is a perverted smile! Who do you want to hit on this time?” NeZha narrowed his gaze and asked.
“Bro Bei! I want to ask you something! It’s about the girl that stood beside your mom. Is she your girlfriend?”
“Who? Murong Xiaoyao? She is not my girlfriend but I advise you not to hit on her. You will be defeated!”
“Haha! I like challenging stuff! I have never been defeated before as an experienced player!” Hong Haier said confidently.
“Go ahead and try then!” Chen Xiaobei shrugged and laughed.
“Okay! Let’s get it on! Stay here and wait for my good news!”
Hong Haier smiled and walked into the house to look for Xiaoyao.
“Old w.a.n.g!”
Chen Xiaobei could not care less about Hong Haier. He waved his hands at Old w.a.n.g and said, “I want you to tell NeZha about your streaming. Get NeZha and Hong Haier into this streaming business as soon as possible! Finish the mission! I don’t want Jiang Ziya to come looking for me!”
Old w.a.n.g was really excited when he saw NeZha. It had been some time since the day he came to earth. He became happier but he kind of missed the life in heaven. Old w.a.n.g and NeZha started to talk to each other happily. Chen Xiaobei joined in their conversation as well.
A few minutes later, Hong Haier returned to them. He cupped his face with his hand and walked towards them with his head bowed. He looked like a defeated soldier.
“How did it go? Were you defeated?”
Chen Xiaobei had a wicked grin. Xiaoyao was feisty. She would not let anyone mess with her!
“This is so scary… Too scary… Are the woman of earth this terrifying?”
Hong Haier put his hand down. There was a palm print on his face.
“All I did was asking her to be my girlfriend… She then slapped me without any hesitation… She told me to get lost! *Sob…Sob…* So horrible!”
“Hahaha! Why didn’t you listen to an experienced player like Chen Xiaobei? In the end, you have to suffer!” NeZha was laughing non-stop.
“Something is not right! Xiaoyao might be fierce but she is reasonable! Did you do something inappropriate? Tell me honestly!” said Chen Xiaobei while shaking his head.
“No… All I did was attempt to slap her a.s.s with my hand. In the end, I didn’t even manage to do it…”
“Well, you deserve that slap! Men are not allowed to slap a girl’s a.s.s so casually on earth! One is destined to suffer if the person slaps a girl’s a.s.s without her permission!”
“I will not mess with her anymore… However, I will not give up becoming an experienced player! I will continue to excel! One is no different from salted fish [1] if one stops going after girls!”
“Sounds legit! I’m speechless! Hahaha!” Chen Xiaobei laughed.
……..
At the same time, somewhere in heaven.
An energetic looking and extraordinary old man was sitting on the clouds.
A man with a green face and red hair with wings on his back was flying towards the old man.
TL Note:
[1] Salted fish: Metaphor to mean a useless person
Chapter 514: Deep And Vicious Planning
“s.h.i.+shu Jiang, how are things?”
The man with a green face and red hair was Lei Zhenzi. He kept his Wind Thunder Wings and stood on the cloud steadily. On the other hand, the old man that sat on the cloud was Jiang Ziya. He swung his arms and a light surfaced in the air. It allowed them to observe the human realm.
“Everything is normal. NeZha and Hong Haier had been sent to the human realm successfully!” Jiang said calmly.
“s.h.i.+shu Jiang, there is something I can’t understand. Why did you choose NeZha and Hong Haier to travel to the human realm? Both of them are really smart. They are quite good looking as well. So, they are more than qualified and suitable to become a streamer! Soon, both of them will be able to recruit many disciples! How are we supposed to put any blame on Chen Xiaobei?”
“Hehe…Chen Xiaobei i has the exact same mindset as yours. However, NeZha and Hong Haier are actually not allowed to stream!” Jiang smiled and said.
Why?” Lei Zhenzi asked in shock.
“I have done some research on the laws in human realm! Underage kids are not allowed to stream! I can come up with some blame to put it on Chen Xiaobei Xiaobei if he makes them stream!”
“Haha! I see! s.h.i.+shu Jiang is so smart! Such wit much wow! It is no wonder the Primordial Lord of Heaven likes you so much!”
Jiang was stroking his goatee and put on a smile. It seemed like he had everything under control.
“What if they choose not to do streaming service to recruit disciples?”
“Hehe… Choose not to stream? Tell me, what can an idiot that can only act cute and a perverted kid do to recruit disciples?”
“Too smart! We can blame Chen Xiaobei for not helping them with recruiting disciples after some time! By that time, he will get a taste of being slapped in the face!” Lei gave Jiang a thumb up after hearing his plan.
“Hehe! We need to teach him a lesson! One should not mess with Chanism! We will make him pay for what he did to use by folds!” Jiang smiled. A sense of evilness reflected from his stare.
…..
Both of them were planning to make Chen Xiaobei pay for what he had done but Chen Xiaobei knew nothing about it. Chen Xiaobei and Old w.a.n.g did not know that underage kids were not allowed to stream. Both of them poured their hearts out to train NeZha and Hong Haier to become the most popular streamers. Unfortunately, both of them were not interested in streaming at all. Their pa.s.sion for gaming was not as strong as Old w.a.n.g.
NeZha was complaining that Mobile Legends was too difficult to play with after learning it from Old w.a.n.g for a short while. He could not even sit tight for three minutes to learn the game. He was having a really good time spending most of his time playing with Xiaobei and strolling around with Sirius.
On the other hand, Hong Haier took the opportunity to look for beautiful female streamers when Chen Xiaobei instructed him to learn to use the streaming software. He refused to stop watching those female streamers no matter how many times Chen Xiaobei tried to talk him out of it. Both of them complained to Chen Xiaobei’s mom after Chen Xiaobei scolded them.
A day had pa.s.sed before they realized it.
“d.a.m.n, when are they going to become popular streamers? This is so frustrating! I don’t think I can come up with any ideas to help them for now. I should just let them do whatever they like. The pills that I concocted should be done by tomorrow. I have more important matters to deal with!”
Chen Xiaobei rushed to the Hundred Beasts Mountain the next morning.
“Greetings, Master! I have completed the thing that you asked me to do!”
Feng Qingyang brought a hundred Yin soldiers with him to wait for Chen Xiaobei at the entrance.
“Great! Come with me!”
Chen Xiaobei used his mind to command those hundred Yin Soldiers back to the Spirit Cage. After that, the Great Priest Beans returned to the sack automatically as well. Feng Qingyang was awestruck after he witnessed the magical scene that happened in front of him. They then headed to the room where Chen Xiaobei placed his Heavenly Pill Making Furnace.
Feng Qingyang was shocked. He was very knowledgeable. He knew what Chen Xiaobei was trying to do. He said, “Mas… Master… Are you concocting a pill?”
“Yes,” said Chen Xiaobei while nodding casually.
“Oh my G.o.d… I can’t believe that you are an alchemist…This is the rarest occupation in this world!”
Feng Qingyang’s body shook uncontrollably. His admiration towards Chen Xiaobei grew.
Chen Xiaobei was calm. He pointed at the Green Jade Cauldron and said, “I’m concocting a pill called Taiyi Life Enhancement Pill! I will give one to you if the pill that I manage to produce is more than I expected! The pill can help you to restore your cultivation!”
“Restore… Restore cultivation?”
Feng Qingyang’s eyes were wide opened. He could not believe the thing that Chen Xiaobei just told him. Cultivation was the most important for every elite in Jianghu. The weak would surely be devoured by the strong in Jianghu! It was karma that caused Feng Qingyang’s cultivation to be destroyed by Chen Xiaobei! He was blessed if Chen Xiaobei decided to restore it for him.
At that moment, Feng Qingyang had gooseb.u.mps all over his body. He was once known as the legendary hero from the Demonic Faction in the west and north of Jianghu. However, he knew that becoming Chen Xiaobei’s disciple was one of the best decision that he made in his life. He swore that he would never betray Chen Xiaobei no matter what.
“Master, please accept my greatest grat.i.tude!”
Feng Qingyang was excited that he knelt in front of Chen Xiaobei.
“Don’t get too excited. This is after all my first time concocting a pill. I have no clue how many pills I can produce. I might fail.”
Chen Xiaobei then took out the Art of Disguise and handed it to Feng Qingyang.
“This is the reward for the work that you have done for the past few days. You can keep it.”
Feng Qingyang gulped when he saw Chen Xiaobei retrieve an item out of nowhere. He took it from Chen Xiaobei and knocked his head on the ground while kneeling.
“Get up.”
“Okay… I have heard that one can only get three types of result for concocting pills! The worst outcome is a whole furnace of medical waste. It smells horrible after the concocting process ends! Master, it seems like the whole process went pretty smooth! I think it’s a huge success this time! Normally, one can only get three pills if the concocting process is a success! The chance of getting this result is huge. Lastly, it is extremely rare to get more than three pills! It is so rare that normal alchemists fail to achieve this result in their lifetime! Even the top-tier alchemists like Huangfu Mumin has to wait for every few years to achieve this kind of result! He will show it off every time! He wants to know that he is skillful!”
Feng Qingyang was an experience Jianghu elite. He knew all these Jianghu matters better than most.
“I’m looking forward to the result after hearing you out! How big is the gap between me and the top-tier alchemist in Jianghu?” asked Chen Xiaobei jokingly.
“I don’t dare to speculate…” Feng Qingyang bowed and replied.
“Heh heh… Let’s wait for the result…”
Chen Xiaobei then shouted, “Open!”
Chapter 515: Crush The Champion
*Crank*
The cover of the Green Jade Cauldron was slowly lifted. A flash of prismatic light filled the room immediately. The fragrance of the pills was strong enough to spread to every corner of the room. It was extremely refres.h.i.+ng when one took a sniff from it. The fact that Chen Xiaobei managed to concoct the pills successfully on his first try was really impressive. The whole Jianghu would be shaken if Chen Xiaobei managed to produce more than three pills at a time.
Seconds later, the prismatic light disappeared and the temperature of the cauldron went back to normal. Chen Xiaobei and Feng Qingyang walked towards the cauldron. Both of them were surprised when they saw the number of pills inside this cauldron!
“One, two, three… Nine! Oh my G.o.d! Nine pills in one single concocting process! This is insane!”
Chen Xiaobei could not believe his eyes.
“Insane! This is definitely insane! Alchemists are extremely rare in this world! Actually, the success rate of concocting pills is not that high as well! Let alone producing more than nine pills in one go! This result is extremely rare! The best record of our top-tier alchemist, Huangfu Mumin only managed to produce six pills in one go throughout his fifty years of concocting pills! Master! You are too skillful! Legendary!”
Chen Xiaobei was pleased after hearing the compliments from Feng Qingyang. Sooner or later, he would be able to surpa.s.s Huangfu Mumin and became the best alchemist in this world! With the help of the Scholar Heart, Chen Xiaobei managed to master the art of concocting pills. He then managed to control the fire with his Transmogrifying Flame. Finally, the spiritual item, Green Jade Cauldron was definitely the biggest contributing factor to his success!
That was the result Chen Xiaobei expected earlier. However, he did not expect to be so successful!
It was luck!
Other than all the spiritual items, luck was one of the biggest reason Chen Xiaobei managed to pull this off. Chen Xiaobei’s luck was increased by four thousand the previous night!
“Let me take a look at the number of Bone Burning Pills. The number of pills determines the effectiveness of my luck!”
Chen Xiaobei turned around immediately. He would experience the effect of his luck shortly after his luck increased. After that, his luck would only serve as a number. The effect was still with him but it was not that obvious anymore. By looking at the number of Bone Burning Pill, Chen Xiaobei could calculate the effectiveness of his luck. He could use the data to do some comparisons in future.
“One… Two… Three… Twelve! d.a.m.n! There are twelve Bone Burning Pills! This number is double of Huangfu Mumin’s best record! Awesome!”
Chen Xiaobei was so excited when he opened up his Heavenly Smithing Furnace. Earlier, he felt like it was hard for him to surpa.s.s Huangfu Mumin after hearing Yap Liangchen told him about the legendary tales of the top-tier alchemist. He came to a realization that the top-tier alchemist could not even compare to him after he saw the number of pills that he produced. Huangfu Mumin was not a mountain. He was just a small hill that could be surpa.s.sed easily! There should be no other alchemist could compare to Chen Xiaobei since he surpa.s.sed Huangfu Mumin. Chen Xiaobei could dominate the path of concocting pills from that moment onwards!
Of course, Chen Xiaobei knew that the members of the Red Envelope Group were the one that helped him to surpa.s.s Huangfu Mumin. Without the cauldron and pill recipe, Chen Xiaobei was just like any other ordinary person. It would be really hard for him to become a successful alchemist! Meanwhile, Feng Qingyang was staring at Chen Xiaobei in awe, speechless. Chen Xiaobei was like a G.o.d to him at that moment.
“Calm down. I want you to consume a Taiyi Life Enhancement Pill! I want to observe its effectiveness.”
Chen Xiaobei took out a pill from the cauldron and asked Feng Qingyang to consume it. He then proceeded to hold Feng Qingyang’s left arm to check his pulse.
“Eh? Your pulse is changing! The pill is working in your body now! How do you feel right now?” asked Chen Xiaobei immediately.
“I feel like there is a fire burning in my body now… It’s really hot…”
“That’s right. This demiG.o.d pill will help you to recover your Dantian! Soon, all your combat power will come back to you if you manage to gather enough True Qi for yourself!”
“This… This is great… Master! Thank you so much! I will never forget this favor that you have done for me!”
He never dreamt that he would be able to recover his combat power. Chen Xiaobei became his biggest benefactor.
“Stand up properly! I don’t want you to kneel in front of me anymore!”
Chen Xiaobei held on to Feng Qingyang and continued to check his pulse.
“Master, what is a demiG.o.d pill? I have not heard of it before.”
“All these pills are concocted based on the recipes that I received from deities! There are no divine ingredients on earth. Thus, I had to replace them with normal earthly medicinal ingredients. So, I call it the demiG.o.d pill!”
“Oh my G.o.d… You I can’t believe that you possess the recipe of the Heavenly Pill!”
Feng Qingyang gulped. His admiration towards Chen Xiaobei increased by folds once again.
Half an hour later, Chen Xiaobei came to a conclusion.
“Alright. I can guarantee that your Dantian is fully recovered. You have to go and train yourself with the True Qi in this mountain. Get back all your combat power as soon as possible! I’m going to leave this place for a while.”
After that, Chen Xiaobei took all the pills with him and left the Hundred Beasts Mountain.
“Thank you, Master! Safe trip!”
Feng Qingyang quickly rushed to the core of the Hundred Beasts Mountain to train himself. There was no formation to gather True Qi in the mountain. Thus, the whole training process was bound to slow down. Feng Qingyang just wished that he could recover completely within six days. He wanted to help Chen Xiaobei to terrify all the other small factions when Chen Xiaobei set up his own faction six days later!
……..
On the other hand, Chen Xiaobei already left the mountain. He was going to sell all those pills as soon as possible. At that moment, Chen Xiaobei needed the money to buy a ton of top-tier jade stones to set up the Puzzle Formation. After that, he could use the money to buy more medicinal ingredients to concoct more pills! Needless to say, a path of money was laid in front of Chen Xiaobei. He then took out his cellphone and made a call to Wu Tianhe, Elder Yang, Elder Fang, Yap LiangChen, and Elder Cao. These were the people that Chen Xiaobei knew in Dragon City. They were definitely rich enough to buy all those pills. Chen Xiaobei would not need to worry about no one buying his super effective pills.
After some discussion, all of them decided to meet up at a private club at night. The reason behind meeting at night instead of morning was because the rich man behind Elder Yang had to take a private jet to get there.
Time flew. Chen Xiaobei used his free time do so some planning. His first guest arrived right after he finished his dinner.
“Brother Cao! Here!” shouted Chen Xiaobei while waving.
Chapter 516: Country’s Big Man
“Xiaobei… My grandpa couldn’t make it… I’m here to take his place…”
Chen Xiaobei’s first guest was Cao Zhenyang. Both of them used to have some conflicts between them. It was nothing serious. Cao Zhenyang looked at Chen Xiaobei differently after the Poseidon incident. In the end, both of them decided to forget about the past and built a better relations.h.i.+p. Cao Zhenyang addressed Chen Xiaobei as Bro Bei and Chen Xiaobei addressed him as Bro Cao.
“I can understand that! Elder Cao is a special man. It is not appropriate for him to come to a place like this. Come in and have a seat first. I’m still waiting for the others to arrive!”
Cao Zhenyang followed Chen Xiaobei’s lead and entered the private club. He could not help but ask, “Tell me honestly, are you really an alchemist?”
“Why? You don’t believe in me?” asked Chen Xiaobei with a smile.
“It’s not that I don’t believe in you. I just find it very hard to believe the fact that you are an alchemist. You are just too young to become an alchemist! Let alone alchemist! You are not even qualified to become a disciple of an alchemist!”
“I’m going to let the results speak for me later. I will reveal the truth once everyone is here. How is my s.h.i.+xiong? Is he doing fine?”
Chen Xiaobei changed the topic.
“Your s.h.i.+xiong? Xiangyu?”
“He is doing really well. It’s not like you don’t know his capability!”
Cao Zhenyang was shocked when Chen Xiaobei asked the question. There was a sense of respect reflected in his eyes.
“Tell me more.”
Chen Xiaobei was interested to know more about Xiangyu’s recent doing.
Cao Zhenyang then started to spill everything about Xiangyu.
“Your s.h.i.+xiong! He managed to make a name for himself by beating up all the experienced soldiers in Thunder Kirin within three days! Within a week, he managed to defeat all the instructors! Now, everyone is seeing Xiangyu as their big boss. He had earned everyone’s respect in Thunder Kirin. After that, he was a.s.signed to complete some missions. In half a month, he managed to break all kinds of records in Thunder Kirin. He even broke the general’s twenty-year record!”
“Oh right. Our general is at the Pinnacle Phase of True Nirvana Stage as well! He is the second most powerful elite in China G.o.d of War ranking. He is known as the G.o.d of Thunder Kirin! He killed countless of enemies during wartime. So, he can be considered as one of the biggest contributors to our country!”
“Guess what? Xiangyu was convinced by some of the elites in Thunder Kirin to challenge our general. I was like oh my G.o.d! There is no one else in China is bold enough to challenge our general! Xiangyu was the first one! Not even the Sword Saint, Liu Xiyuan from Xuanjian Faction that ranked number one in G.o.d of War ranking board is arrogant enough to do it!”
“In the end, our general had to decline the challenge. He did not want to disappoint Xiangyu if he won the battle. On the other hand, he did not want to feel embarra.s.sed if he lost in the battle. So, the best way to avoid two of these bad outcomes is to decline the battle! Luckily, Xiangyu is the kind of person that is smart enough to know the reason behind it. So, he never challenges our general anymore! If not, I’m afraid our general might do something crazy if Xiangyu forces his hand!”
“We were at Dongbei last month. We had a special forces war rehearsal with Russia! At that time, our army was losing. Our commander was ready to surrender. Just when the commander of Russia wanted to celebrate their victory, Xiangyu came out from nowhere. He defeated the army of Russia alone! The commander of Russia was so angry that Xiangyu managed to turn the tide around! So, Xiangyu was given the most honorable merit by our highest in command!”
“Then, we got to know that Xiangyu was chasing after a deer before the rehearsal. He went into the jungle, killed, and cook the deer. After that, he had a good sleep before returning to the battlefield! He is really rebellious! Thunder Kirin would have kicked the person out of the force if it was others that do it!”
“However, the highest in command did not even blame him. They even complimented him for defeating all the enemies by himself alone! He was given the t.i.tle ‘General of the Nation’! One can get really frustrated if the person keeps on comparing with others! All those experienced elite soldiers including me can only be envious of him!”
Cao Zhenyang was like a chatterbox when he talked about Xiangyu. He was really excited. Judging from the details that he told Chen Xiaobei, he must have told it to a lot of people. Xiangyu was like the pride and glory of the whole Thunder Kirin and he could not wait to share it with others. Chen Xiaobei was really pleased after hearing what happened to Xiangyu in Thunder Kirin. He wished someday he could be as powerful as Xiangyu too.
“Xiaobei! You have to work harder! You are still miles away from your s.h.i.+xiong!”
“I know that! I will become stronger! It’s a must!” Chen Xiaobei narrowed his gaze and said determinedly. Actually, Chen Xiaobei never stopped growing stronger and stronger. After a long chat, all the guests that Chen Xiaobei invited finally arrived! Yap LiangChen Xiaobei and his grandpa, Yap Xiangyu arrived first. Both of them were Chen Xiaobei’s die-hard fans. So, they were arranged to sit with Cao Zhenyang.
After that, a sixty-year-old elder and a young man in his twenties arrived. Yap Xianghu jumped up from his seat and brought Yap LiangChen to greet them.
“Brother Yunlin! It’s been some time. Do you still remember me?”
Yap Xianghu put on a wide smile and said. Yap LiangChen was shocked. He had never seen his grandpa acted so polite and friendly towards others. The person must be more powerful than the Yap Family!
“Oh, Brother Yap!”
The elder smiled. It seemed like his aura was more powerful than all the other guests.
“You guys know each other?” Chen Xiaobei asked curiously.
“Let me do an introduction! This is the richest man in Zhong Province, Li Yunlin! Li Family has at least three hundred billion! They are on the Forbes list every year!”
Yap LiangChen was shocked. The total a.s.set of the Yap Family was around twenty billion! Their wealth could not be compared with Li Family at all! Even Cao Zhenyang could not help but turn around and look at them. He was considering making friends with them. Chen Xiaobei was the only one among the crowd still managed to maintain his composure.
He put on a smile and looked at the young man that stood beside Li Yunlin.
“May I know who is this?”
Chen Xiaobei asked the question because he noticed the young man kept on observing him.
“Oh…He is the late child of our family!” Li Yunlin said. His reaction was slightly weird.
“My name is Li Xiang!”
The young man extended his hand to shake Chen Xiaobei’s hand.
“I’m Chen Xiaobei.”
Chen Xiaobei shook his hand. He then arranged the both of them to sit at an isolated table. After that, Elder Fang arrived. He brought two people with him as well. One of them was a middle-aged man, Wei Suo. His accent sounded like he came from Hong Kong. He should be the ultra-rich man that Chen Xiaobei heard about earlier. The other energetic old man was known as Master Wei Ma.
After they sat down for a while, Wei Suo asked impatiently, “Where is the alchemist? Why is he not here? My time is precious! How dare you guys ask me to wait!”
“I’m the alchemist! You can leave if you don’t want to wait,” said Chen Xiaobei with a smile.
Chapter 517: Respect Me Like I Am Your Master
“You?”
Wei Suo had a disappointed look after hearing Chen Xiaobei’s claim. Meanwhile, Li Yunlin and Li Xiang were frowning. Actually, both of them had other intentions other than buying those pills. No matter what, they could not believe Chen Xiaobei’s claim. Even Yap Xianghu and Cao Zhenyang found it hard to believe Chen Xiaobei as well. Chen Xiaobei was after all a young boy in his twenties. He looked like a university student. To the guests, Chen Xiaobei was far from becoming an alchemist.
“How dare you call yourself an alchemist?”
Wei Suo glared at Chen Xiaobei. He then opened his arms respectfully and pointed at the elder beside him.
“He is the real alchemist! He is filled with the knowledge of YinYang and Bagua! He is also an expert in medicinal knowledge! Almost everyone in Hong Kong has heard of his name before! His influence in Hong Kong is so huge that the whole island would shake in fear when he is angry!”
Everyone turned around and looked at the elder after hearing Wei Suo’s claim. However, Elder Ma was still looked calm. He did not get c.o.c.ky after Wei Suo complimented him. Most probably, he was sick of hearing all these boot-licking compliments. He did look like one of those sages that sat high on the mountains.
Judging from Wei’s comments, Elder Ma was definitely someone powerful and reputable in Hong Kong!
“Grandpa! Is that elder really that good? Have you heard of him before?” Yap Liangchen asked softly. He was very curious. Even Cao was paying attention to their conversation.
“Of course, I have heard of his name before. He is a famous and reputable experienced alchemist! He possesses eight pill recipes! He is known as Mr. Ultimate Eight! Not long after he became an alchemist, Huangfu Mumin taught him the secret of concocting pills for a period of time. His skill on concocting pills increased tremendously! Naturally, he became really famous in Jianghu ten years ago!”
“Ten years ago, the leg of a politician’s child was broken by someone! The bone in his leg was completely shattered! However, he managed to regain his mobility after consuming the pills given by Elder Ma! From that moment onwards, Elder Ma became extremely powerful! Countless rich businessmen treated him like their G.o.d!”
Yap LiangChen and Cao Zhenyang had their eyes wide open after hearing the tales of Elder Ma. It was all so unbelievable for them.
“This is insane! How could someone heal a shattered bone?” exclaimed Yap.
“Elder Ma is the true master! It is pretty obvious that Wei Suo dude is afraid of being cheated. So, he invited Elder Ma to come along with him!” said Yap Xianghu.
“It seems like Xiaobei is in big trouble… Elder Ma will carry out the examination even if Chen Xiaobei show us the pills that he promised us earlier! By that time, he will definitely be criticized by Elder Ma!”
All the guests in the room could hear their conversation because the room itself was kind of small. Li Yunlin and Li Xiang nodded their heads lightly. Both of them heard the story before. They knew Elder Ma was a very skillful alchemist. On the other hand, Elder Yang and Elder Fang spent their whole life dealing with traditional medicinal ingredients. Their faces were filled with respect and admiration! Both of them wish they could become an alchemist someday! However, it was extremely hard to achieve their dreams. Thus, they could only admire all those skillful alchemists in Jianghu.
Wei Suo was like a proud little baby. It was as if he was showing off to the guests that he was rich and powerful enough to ask Elder Ma to come along with him! Elder Ma was calm as usual. However, he was moved when the crowd talked about Huangfu Mumin.
“Kiddo! Why are you not talking? Are you shaken by Elder Ma’s great name? Can you still act tough in front of us? Hahaha…”
“I do not want to repeat myself! I have told you that you are free to roll out from this place like a ball if you still don’t believe me!”
“Like a ball? F*ck you! You f*cking a.s.shole! How dare you ask me and Elder Ma to get out? I’d advise you not to be an arrogant b.a.s.t.a.r.d in front of us! If not, I can make your life miserable!”
“I’m not going to repeat the same thing three times!” said Chen Xiaobei coldly. He completely ignored Wei Suo. Chen Xiaobei would not mind landing a few slaps on him if he continued to provoke him. Wei Suo was really furious. He wanted to continue scolding Chen Xiaobei. However, he was stopped by Elder Ma.
Elder Ma narrowed his gaze, took a look at Chen Xiaobei and said calmly, “There is a saying, normally an arrogant person possesses some really extraordinary talent! Young man, you may take out the pills if you are an alchemist! I don’t mind giving you some opinions on the pills that you concocted. It will be a good thing for me to do!”
The guests nodded. They were impressed by Elder Ma’s character.
“Elder Ma is such a kind person! He did not lower himself to be on the same level as that young man! He even proposed to teach the young man! This is truly admirable!” Li Yunlin gave Elder Ma a thumb up. Lin Yunlin was the richest man in Zhong Province. He rarely used the word, admirable. Young men like Cao Zhenyang and Yap Liangchen grew more respectful of Elder Ma. Both of them treated Elder Ma like a saint with extraordinary character.
“Kid! Why are still standing there? Bring out your stupid pills! Elder Ma just told you that he is willing to teach and guide you! Don’t you know there are many teenagers begging to have an audience with Elder Ma? You are in luck today! Do you understand?”
“Heh heh…I don’t need him to teach nor guide me. I can totally guide him if he can treat me like his master!” said Chen Xiaobei with a chuckle.
Everyone was shocked after hearing Chen Xiaobei’s reply. How dare a young man like Chen Xiaobei claim that he wanted to teach Elder Ma instead. He even wanted Elder Ma to treat him like a master! That was outrageous. The guests thought that Chen Xiaobei had lost his mind, as though he had just escaped from a mental asylum. It was important to know that Elder Ma was the best alchemist in Hong Kong. He could be regarded as a master when he came to China. It was a face slapping moment for Elder Ma.
“Young man! One should act humble all the time! You are going to become the joke of the year if you keep on talking nonsense!”
“Elder Ma is right! Stop talking nonsense when you have zero skill in concocting pills! This is so stupid!” Wei Suo nodded and said.
All the other guests nodded their head as well. They all felt like Chen Xiaobei needed the guidance of Elder Ma. He was crossing the line that he should not be crossing. He just lost all the credibility in front of all the guests. However, they did not expect that Chen Xiaobei possessed two Heavenly Pill recipes. Chen Xiaobei had mastered the art of concocting pills! Chen Xiaobei could easily teach Elder Ma the knowledge of concocting pills!
“All of you here thought that I’m being arrogant and talking nonsense. Actually, my skill has surpa.s.sed Huangfu Mumin! Elder Ma cannot be compared to me at all!”
Chapter 518: Competing Pill Concocting Skill
Chen Xiaobei wanted to guide Huangfu Mumin? Everyone was stunned after Chen Xiaobei made the claim.
The calm and steady Elder Ma finally lost his composure. He glared at Chen Xiaobei and shouted, “Watch your mouth! What an arrogant kid! How dare you humiliate Master Huangfu?”
“I’m not humiliating him! I’m just stating the truth!” Chen Xiaobei shrugged.
To them, Huangfu Mumin was the best alchemist in China. However, Chen Xiaobei knew that he could easily surpa.s.s him. Chen Xiaobei would even have to consider first, if Huangfu ever asks for his guidance.
“Master Huangfu is my teacher! My path of concocting pills would have stopped halfway if it wasn’t for his kind guidance! You are not allowed to humiliate Master Huangfu as long as I’m here! I want to compete with you! I’m going to use my skill to slap your face!”
Everyone was shocked after Elder Ma made the announcement. Li Yunlin, Li Xiang, and Elder Yang were neutral. However, the three of them were not happy with Chen Xiaobei’s arrogant att.i.tude. They wanted Elder Ma to teach Chen Xiaobei a life lesson.
“b.a.s.t.a.r.d! You have crossed the line! Soon, I will let you know this world is bigger than you thought! You will realize how small and stupid you are!”
Wei Suo and Elder Ma were on the same side. Both of them were glaring at Chen Xiaobei. They made their stand clear by speaking their minds. Meanwhile, Cao Zhenyang, Yap Xianghu, and Yap Liangchen were frowning. They were worried about Chen Xiaobei. None of them expected the whole thing to turn into such a big mess. All three of them were wondering how Chen Xiaobei was going to deal with the mess.
It was not wise to offend someone like Elder Ma. Chen Xiaobei would face many problems on the path of concocting pills in the future even if he knew the art of concocting pills. It was going to be hard for him to be a successful alchemist.
However, Chen Xiaobei was still really calm. He said, “I’m going to accept your challenge! I’m afraid you will be the one that receives a slap in the face later!”
Everyone was shocked.
“Hmph! I have thirty years of experience in concocting pills! It is not possible for me to lose to you! I shall bang my head into the wall if I lose to you! I want you to kowtow ten times facing north if you lose! You are to apologize to him loudly!”
“No problem! What if you lose in this challenge?”
“You can do anything you want to me if I lose in this challenge!”
He thought it was not possible for him to lose to Chen Xiaobei.
“I think all the alchemists are super rich! Transfer one hundred million to my account if you lose to me!”
“No problem! It’s just one hundred million! I’m more than willing to transfer one billion to your account if I lose to you!”
It was no wonder all the super-rich businessmen in Hong Kong treated Elder Ma like their G.o.d! The way he talked was more domineering than others!
“So, how do you plan to carry out the challenge? It would be illogical if you guys want to concoct pills right her right now! My time is precious! I do not want to waste my time here!” asked Wei Suo in a boastful tone.
“Mr. Chen Xiaobei!”
Finally, the last guest arrived. Wu Tianhe was invited to come here as well. He brought Wu Jiechao with him on the wheelchair. One of Wu Jiechao’s leg and arm were crippled by Wu Tianhe. The bones were shattered. It seemed like he was going to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair. He started to tremble in fear when he saw Chen Xiaobei, like a mouse that saw a cat. He was fearful of Chen Xiaobei but he hated Chen Xiaobei even more! Chen Xiaobei was the reason that he was crippled by Wu Tianhe. He did not dare to voice out his complaints.
“Come in!”
Chen Xiaobei nodded and Wu Tianhe and took a look at Wu Jiechao. He said, “Mei Jiechao (No moral integrity), you are in luck! The famous Elder Ma from Hong Kong is here! Your crippled arm and leg can be healed!”
“Is… Is this real? Elder Ma! Please heal me! I don’t want to be a cripple for the rest of my life! My family will pay you tons of money as long as you can heal me! I beg you…”
“Mr. Chen Xiaobei… Is this what you want?”
As the high-ranked officer of Six Doors Organization, Wu Tianhe heard of the famous Elder Ma from Hong Kong before. He was really pleased. However, he could not read Chen Xiaobei’s mind. So, he decided to ask Chen Xiaobei’s permission first. It was a simple question. Most of the guests did not pay attention to it.
Li Xiang was the only one narrowed his gaze. He was really shocked. He thought. “Wu Tianhe is the vice chief officer of Six Doors Organization! Why is he asking for Chen Xiaobei’s permission? This is truly unbelievable!”
“I don’t carry any other intention. All I want is to let Elder Ma check on Mei Jiechao’s injuries. Elder Ma! After you!” said Chen Xiaobei, grinning.
Elder Ma knew Chen Xiaobei’s intention. He wanted to use Wu Jiechao as a lab rat to test their skills.
“Hmph! Keep your dog eyes [1] wide open! Let me show you what the art of concocting pills is! I’m going to use the result to slap you in the face! By that time, I dare you to act tough in front of me again!”
After that, he lifted Wu’s broken arm and used a special technique to check on Wu’s shattered bone. All the alchemists in Jianghu were top-tier Chinese traditional medicinal doctors. They had to diagnose the cause of the sickness or injuries before they gave their patient any medicine. From there, they could concoct the most suitable pill for the patients as well!
After some time, Elder Ma said, “His bone is shattered! He needs around three years to regain his mobility if he goes with the western treatment approach! The aftermath of this injuries can be quite serious too! It is no different from healing!”
“Right! That’s what my doctor told me as well! Do you have any way to save me? I don’t want to be a crippled man… Please…”
“Hmph! It is your luck that allowed you to meet Elder Ma today! Some years ago, a kid of the most powerful politician suffered from similar injuries. However, Elder Ma managed to heal him within a year. He regained his mobility as though he did not suffer from any past injuries!”
“Oh G.o.d! Finally, I met someone who can heal me!”
Wu was really excited. He wanted to jump down from his wheelchair to go and hug Elder Ma’s thigh.
“Elder Ma… Mercy… Please save me… Sob… Sob… You are my G.o.dparent if you save me! I will never forget the good deed that you do for me!”
“You are quite sincere… I shall sell you three Muscle and Bone Regeneration Pills! Take one every four months! Take care of your diet at the same time! You should completely recover within a year!”
Elder Ma was very proud of his pills. He glared at Chen Xiaobei and took out an exquisite Hetian Jade bottle from his pocket. The guests in the room knew that the bottle alone cost around hundreds of thousands! Needless to say, the pills inside the bottle were even more expensive!
At the same time, Chen Xiaobei took out a pitch-black pill from his pocket and said condescendingly, “Keep that piece of s.h.i.+t in your pocket! My pill will heal his injuries instantly!”
TL Note:
[1] Dog eyes: A look in one’s eyes which expresses looking down on others
Chapter 519: A Big Shock To The Crowd
Wu Jiechao could be healed with only one pill? Instantly too?
“How is that even possible? His bone was shattered! It’s not possible to recover instantly!”
Cao and Yap Family’s eyes widened. They were on Chen Xiaobei’s side. However, they found it really hard to believe Chen Xiaobei’s claim, let alone the outsiders.
“Kid, you are talking pure nonsense! Master Huangfu has the best medication to heal injuries in this world! Even his Black Jade Rejuvenation Pill needs seven days and seven nights to heal the injuries! The claim that you just told us is extremely absurd!”
“You are right! That f*cker is full of bulls.h.i.+t! Not even a three years old kid will believe what he said!” Wei Suo said.
“This is just too much! He might receive a n.o.bel Prize if his medication can heal Wu Jiechao’s injuries instantly!” Li Yunlin said.
“The way he boasted is not professional at all! Look at Elder Ma. The container that he used to store his pill is worth at least hundreds of thousands! That kid just took out a pill from his pocket! People would have thought that the black round thing is a pill that made of mud!” Elder Fang and Elder Yang said.
“At least a mud ball is harmless! I’m afraid that he accidentally mixed some toxic substance in his pill! That person could be killed by his pill!” Wei Suo said mockingly.
Chen Xiaobei was calm when everyone mocked him. He walked towards Wu Jiechao and said, “Wu Jiechao! Open up your mouth!”
“Er…No…” Wu Jiechao was sweating. He was afraid of Chen Xiaobei. He kept on shaking his head.
“Mr. Chen Xiaobei…”
Wu Tianhe did not know what to do as well. He shouted at Wu Jiechao when he saw Chen Xiaobei’s determined stare.
“Jiechao! Open up your mouth! Mr. Chen Xiaobei will not harm you!”
“I…”
Tears flowed down from his eyes. He was forced to open up his mouth due to fear.
Chen Xiaobei put a Taiyi Life Enhancement Pill in his mouth. He then lifted up his arm and used a special method to fix his bone.
“Pain… Ouch… So painful…”
At first, Wu Jiechao was shouting in pain. Everyone around him did not stop mocking him as well. Ten seconds later, Wu stopped shouting. He said in shock, “Hot! So hot… I feel like my arm and leg are burning! It’s so comfortable! Finger… My fingers can move again!”
Everyone around Chen Xiaobei clammed up. Their mocking words were replaced with shocked looks! Especially Elder Ma, it looked like his eyes were about to pop and fall to the ground. At that moment, he knew what was it like to be roasted! Ten minutes later, Chen Xiaobei applied the same treatment on Wu Jiechao’s leg.
He then tapped on him and said, “You can get up now!”
Wu gulped and channeled some strength to his legs. He got up from his wheelchair!
“Oh my G.o.d… I’m cured! I’m perfectly healed! Mr. Chen Xiaobei… You are a G.o.d! You are a living G.o.d! You are my G.o.dparent! From today onwards, I’m your biggest fan! I will follow whatever you tell me to do!”
“Really… Really healed!”
Everyone in the room was stunned. It was as if their souls had left them.
“Heavenly Pill… This must be the Heavenly Pill… One pill and he is healed! A Heavenly Pill like this is insane! How is possible for a pill like this exists in the human realm?”
Elder Ma was trembling while he talked. He had gooseb.u.mps all over his body. Everyone else was freaking out as well. They would not believe in such a miracle if they did not see it with their own eyes. Chen Xiaobei’s pill just helped a crippled man regain his mobility. It was like magic!
It was no wonder Chen Xiaobei looked down on Elder Ma. He even mentioned that Huangfu needed his guidance! He had the right after all! With a pill like that, Chen Xiaobei could dominate the field of alchemy!
“Not even the Black Jade Rejuvenation Pill from Master Huangfu can compare with Chen Xiaobei’s pill!” Elder Ma mumbled to himself. The effect of Black Jade Rejuvenation Pill was like a legendary tale to every alchemist! However, its effect was a thousand times weaker than Chen Xiaobei’s pill! At that moment, the legendary tale had been shattered! Elder Ma looked really pale.
“Elder Ma! Are you willing to surrender?” Chen Xiaobei asked.
“Master Chen Xiaobei. You speak too highly of me. I’m not worthy of the t.i.tle anymore… Just call me Little Ma… I’m more than willing to surrender! I can transfer the money to you any time you want!” Elder Ma acted really humble in front of Chen Xiaobei. He called Chen Xiaobei, Master Chen Xiaobei from that moment onwards.
He was really smart. He knew he would not gain any benefit if he decided to go against Chen Xiaobei. He was hoping that Chen Xiaobei could guide him in concocting pills if he behaved politely towards him. He really wanted to improve himself. After that, Chen Xiaobei gave his account number to Elder Ma and Elder Ma transferred one hundred million to his account immediately.
Moments later, the crowd recovered from their shocked state.
“I’m just too ignorant! I did not know you are a G.o.d-tier alchemist! Mr. Chen, your skill is beyond G.o.dlike! You have mastered the art of concocting pills! You can easily be awarded the n.o.bel Prize!” said Li Yunlin respectfully.
“I think a n.o.bel Prize is nothing to Mr. Chen Xiaobei!” sighed Li Xiang.
“Of course! This pill will shake Jianghu if everyone knows about it! Even the whole country would pay attention to it! A n.o.bel Prize is nothing when compared to the thing that our country can do for Mr. Chen Xiaobei!” Cao said.
Elder Fang and Elder Yang regretted that they mocked Chen Xiaobei earlier for taking out a mud ball. They had experienced the cla.s.sical face-slapping moment. On the other hand, Wei Suo was the one that kept on mocking Chen Xiaobei non-stop. At that moment, he wished he could rewind time.
Alchemist was the rarest occupation in the whole country! Every faction in Jianghu would build a good connection with a G.o.d-tier alchemist like Chen Xiaobei. Actually, Wei Suo wanted to make friend with some top-tier alchemist today. Unfortunately, he just offended a G.o.d-tier alchemist that could concoct the Heavenly Pill! At that moment, he just wanted to slap himself for offending Chen Xiaobei. He would have been able to make friend with Chen Xiaobei if he treated him with respect just now.
“Mr. Chen! Do you still want to sell your pills? How much are you planning to sell them?” Yap Xianghu asked politely.
Everyone’s attention fell on Chen Xiaobei immediately.
Chapter 520: An Expensive Price Tag
“This is my first time concocting pills. I am not too certain about the price as well. Maybe you guys can advise me on setting the price of my pills,” said Chen Xiaobei calmly.
“I have a suggestion. Master Chen Xiaobei, would you like to listen to it? The price of Master Huangfu’s Black Jade Rejuvenation Pill costs thirty million! Master Chen, your pill is far more effective than his pill! They are really rare as well! I think your pill should cost three hundred million for one!”
That was ten times the price of the Black Jade Rejuvenation Pill!
Chen Xiaobei was shocked as he did not expect his pills to fetch such a high price. At that moment, he had seven Taiyi Life Enhancement Pills and twelve Bone Burning Pills! All those pills cost a couple billion! Chen Xiaobei did not even spend a single dime on concocting those pills. It was pure profit! A huge one! However, Chen Xiaobei was wondering whether those ultra-rich guests would buy his pills at such a high price.
Chen Xiaobei pretended to ponder for a while and said, “I have put in a lot of expensive medicinal ingredients and effort into concocting these pills! I think the price is pretty reasonable! So, the price is fixed!”
After that, Chen Xiaobei was worried that they would negotiate the price with him.
Li Yunlin quickly said, “What a good price! I want ten of it! I can transfer the money to you within three days!”
Li Yunlin was an ultra-rich man in Zhong Province! He did not even flinch when he spent three billion! However, Chen Xiaobei was not surprised. Li was high up on the food chain. Thus, he had to deal with all kind matters that could threaten this family. Of course, he would not think twice to buy something that could keep him and his grandkid healthy and safe. The pills were actually pretty cheap for him.
“The pills are definitely worth the money! Cao Family wants to buy ten of them as well! Maybe we can talk about working with the government in the future!” Cao said.
The Cao Family was one of the four most powerful families in Dragon City! They had connections with those of the highest authority in the country. Their wealth had no end. Their name was not on the Forbes Richest list. Because of various political reasons, they did not dare to put their name on the list.
They were just like the Rothschild and Wittgenstein Family. Their wealth was enough to crush the richest people in this world. However, they chose to lay low. So, they were not that well-known among people.
Chen Xiaobei knew that Cao Family was extremely rich when Elder Cao went to Green Vine City personally to buy his four billion worth of Jade Sculptures. To them, money was just a series of numbers. Cao did not say much about working with the government. That was some top-secret stuff. However, Chen Xiaobei could guess that he was going to work with Thunder Kirin. Money would keep flowing into his account when he had enough pills to sell to them.
“Our Yap Family is small. We want to buy three Heavenly Pills event if that means to sell off everything we have! Please grant our wis.h.!.+” said Yap Xianghu desperately. Their total wealth was two billion but it was extremely hard for them to fork out nine hundred million in such a short time. However, Yap Xianghu still wanted to try his best to buy three Taiyi Life Enhancement Pills! Clearly, the pill itself was extremely attractive!
“Wu Family wants to buy three of it as well! Including the pill that Jiechao consumed earlier! I hope Mr. Chen Xiaobei can sell us two more pills!” Wu Tianhe said.
“All of you are too greedy! Those are Heavenly Pills! This is not a wet market! I don’t think Mr. Chen Xiaobei has around twenty pills with him!” Elder Ma said.
Everyone was shocked after hearing Elder Ma’s comment.
“We lost our minds! Concocting pill is extremely difficult! I heard an alchemist can only produce one to two pills at a time. It needs months to complete the whole concocting process! I don’t think Mr. Chen Xiaobei has a huge number of pills with him as well!”
Elder Ma nodded, turned to Chen Xiaobei, and said politely, “Master Chen, please bless me. I just want to buy a Heavenly Pill from you! I will definitely make it as my heirloom and pa.s.s it down from generation to generation! I’m willing to pay thirty percent more!”
The crowd started to tense up.
“I’m willing to pay fifty percent more! Xiaobei! We are good bros! You should reserve a pill for me!” said Cao.
“Mr. Chen Xiaobei! We are willing to pay fifty percent more as well! We just want to buy one Heavenly Pill!” said Yap Xianghu and Wu Tianhe.
“Mr. Chen Xiaobei, I’m willing to pay twice the price!” Li Yunlin was nervous. He did not know Chen Xiaobei that well. So, he decided to use money to fill the gap.
On the other hand, Elder Fang and Elder Yang could only watch them from far. They were really envious of them. Only the truly powerful families could afford such expensive pills! It was impossible for normal people to purchase them.
Wei Suo had a lot of money with him. However, he offended Chen Xiaobei earlier, so he did not dare to say a single word. He was feeling regretful of that idiotic move.
“You guys don’t have to fight over them.”
Everyone became quiet when Chen Xiaobei lifted his hand. Chen Xiaobei was actually very excited but he did not show it on his face. However, Chen Xiaobei did not plan to con them. He wanted to make sure his pill business could last long by making them his regular customers. It would not be beneficial for him if he chose to ignore business ethics. Greed was always the factor that destroyed a lot of things in this world.
Chen Xiaobei was smart enough not to let greed take over his heart. He said, “I only have seven Taiyi Life Enhancement Pills with me! Every family is limited to one pill only! The price is three hundred million! I will not increase the price! Just pay me accordingly.”
Everyone was pleased after Chen Xiaobei made the announcement. They complimented Chen Xiaobei’s credibility. Chen Xiaobei was the only person that sold Heavenly Pills in Jianghu! He could easily increase the price whenever he wanted! However, Chen Xiaobei decided to stick with the price that he fixed earlier. It was really admirable. Everyone would definitely buy from him again!
Chen Xiaobei was really pleased after hearing their compliments. This was the outcome that he wanted. Soon, everyone transferred the money to Chen Xiaobei’s account to get their hands on the pills. The guests were really happy because they just acquired a piece of ultra-rare treasure. All of them treated the pill like their baby.
Money well spent!
Wei Suo was staring at them like a baby. Some drool almost flowed out from his mouth. He gritted his teeth and mustered up enough courage to ask Chen Xiaobei, “Mr. Chen, you still have two Heavenly Pills with you! Do you mind selling one to me? Please!”
“You?”
Chen Xiaobei narrowed his gaze and laughed wickedly. “Sure! I have to increase the piece because you messed with me just now!”
“Sure! I’m willing to pay as long as I can acquire this Heavenly Pill! How much are you planning to sell it for?”
“So that was ‘f*cker’ three times and ‘f*ck you’ once earlier. I’m not that greedy actually. A swear word costs you three hundred million! So, three hundred million plus 1.2 billion is 1.5 billion! Pay me and I will hand you the pill!”
*Blarrgghh*
Wei Suo almost spat a mouthful of blood to the ceiling.
A swear word costs three hundred million!
That was insane!
