Chapter 796: Chapter 794, Can’t Let Xu Wendong Be So Rampant

”How did Xu Wendong bully you?” Xia Hou sat cross-legged in the cave, his face showing no emotion.

His sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes gave him an extraordinary appearance. Clad in a white python robe, he exuded an air of supremacy even when sitting quietly.

”Report to the Sect Leader, after Xu Wendong was certified as a Senior Alchemist today, he took on fifty disciples’ alchemy commissions all at once. He’s certainly not leaving us any room to breathe!” The young man who spoke earlier was Meng Tao, a disciple of the Grand Elder.

As for the other two, they were Xia Hou’s disciples.

One was named Wu Qi, and the tall, graceful woman was named Bai Jie.

Xia Hou asked calmly, ”Can Xu Wendong handle so many commissions?”

Meng Tao replied, ”He said he could.”

Xia Hou nodded slightly, ”If he can, then let him do it!”

Wu Qi said nervously, ”Master, Xu Wendong’s emergence has severely affected our income!”

Xia Hou chuckled softly, ”His existence may have impacted your income, but his emergence hasn’t violated any of the Elixir Sect’s rules.”

”If you have issues with his presence, perhaps you should improve your own alchemical skills.”

Xia Hou was aware that Xu Wendong’s rise had affected the income of these three disciples. Before Xu Wendong appeared, the Elixir Sect disciples would commission these three to help refine elixirs.

They earned a good amount of spirit stones and contribution points by helping others refine elixirs.

Yet now, Xu Wendong’s strong emergence had severely impacted their income.

However,

He wouldn’t blame Xu Wendong for this, and was even quite pleased.

The three had become too complacent with the status quo, resulting in stagnant improvement in their alchemy skills.

Xu Wendong’s appearance might inspire their sense of rivalry and drive them to improve their alchemy prowess.

”I need to go into seclusion for cultivation, you three should leave now!”

Xia Hou said faintly before slowly closing his eyes.

”Disciples take their leave!”

The three immediately bowed and left the cave.

”I told you it would be useless to go to our master, yet you two wouldn’t listen.” Bai Jie wore a pure white long dress, her hair cascading freely down her back.

Her features were stunning, especially her enchanting eyes that sparkled with a captivating light, giving her both an innocent and alluring aura.

Wu Qi gritted his teeth, ”No, no, we can’t let Xu Wendong be so rampant, or we three will truly be left with nothing!”

Previously, they lived quite comfortably by helping the Elixir Sect disciples with alchemy.

But now.

The rise of Xu Wendong had led everyone to go to him instead.

Their comfortable life was about to become a distant dream.

”I have an idea,” Meng Tao said through gritted teeth, ”Let’s challenge Xu Wendong directly. If he dares to accept, we’ll make it so he can’t function afterward.”

Wu Qi paused, unable to help but say, ”Isn’t this too blatant? If we do this, how will we establish ourselves in the Elixir Sect afterward?”

Though they truly wanted to teach Xu Wendong a lesson, they didn’t want to be too open about it, as they were some of the brightest among the younger generation in the Elixir Sect.

Doing something so brazen would certainly leave a bad impression.

Meng Tao snarked, ”Then, what’s your idea?”

”Actually, I do have a way.” Wu Qi’s face showed a subtle smile, ”Once Xu Wendong finishes his current alchemy, we gather more people to commission him for alchemy. The more, the better.”

”If Xu Wendong takes on the alchemy commissions again, we can create some noise and trouble during his alchemy to affect his performance, ensuring he can’t complete the tasks.”

”By then, we should have a chance to take him down, right?”

Alchemists cherished their reputation, particularly when others entrusted them with tasks; they must complete them on time, or their reputation would be ruined.

It was precisely why they thought of this plan.

”I think this plan could work.” Bai Jie offered her opinion. Now that she had a cultivation level of Qi Refining Stage Level Nine, she intended to push through to the Golden Core Stage.

However, Xu Wendong’s appearance had cut off her source of income.

The three immediately hit it off and developed a plan targeting Xu Wendong.

Xu Wendong remained oblivious to their scheming.

He spent ten days refining a thousand Foundation Establishment Pills, averaging a hundred a day.

This number was not insignificant; for other alchemists, it was a substantial amount.

However.

For Xu Wendong, refining one hundred Foundation Establishment Pills a day was like a breeze. If he didn’t want to project a particularly busy façade, he could have refined a thousand Foundation Establishment Pills in three days.

Yes, once others were familiar with a pill prescription, they could craft five or six pills simultaneously, but he could refine thirty-four at once.

Of course, the reason he refined so slowly wasn’t just to maintain the illusion of being busy but also to quiet his mind.

Only when his mind was at peace could he understand what he wanted and achieve mental clarity.

It was due to this mental clarity.

That most of the pills Xu Wendong refined bore nine pill patterns.

These were top-quality elixirs, having no side effects, something all alchemists aspired to create. Successfully refining them would certainly bring fame.

Wuming felt astounded by those pills with nine pill patterns, marveling at Xu Wendong’s demonic genius for alchemy.

With his current abilities, he could fully bear the honor of being called an Alchemy Grandmaster.

After completing those pills, Xu Wendong sent a message for them to be picked up, and when those disciples saw the supreme Foundation Building Pills he had made, they felt utterly shocked.

There was an old saying in the Cultivation Realm: every medicine has a degree of toxicity.

Even elixirs had slight toxins, and overconsumption could somewhat affect the body.

However...

Everyone knew that the more pill patterns an elixir had, the less poisonous it was.

Especially the nine-pill-pattern elixirs, which contained no toxins whatsoever!

For a moment.

Countless people regarded Xu Wendong almost like a divine figure. Some even praised him as a blessing to the Elixir Sect, confident that with him around, the disciples’ overall strength would soon increase.

After sending off the disciples who came to collect the elixirs, Emerald Bamboo Forest returned to its tranquility.

Xu Wendong lay lazily in a woven hammock, enjoying the cool breeze and sipping the Hundred Flowers Dew collected in the morning, feeling utterly relaxed and at ease.

Xia An’an approached from the side, her voice ringing melodiously, ”Junior Brother Xu, I’m hungry. What are we having for lunch today?”

Yang Fan flew over excitedly from afar, ”Little Junior Sister, don’t ask him. I’ve got instant noodles here, with flavors more than a dozen types, guaranteed to have ones you like!”
