Everyone was stunned for a full three minutes.

Such a fierce prescription truly deserves the title of the Medicine Saint's inheritance.

The Medicine Saint was truly formidable, daring to conceive what others wouldn't dare to imagine, and refining medicines others wouldn't dare to attempt!

With so many potent ingredients gathered together, wouldn't it explode on the spot?

The little squirrel and Chen Xuewang pondered secretly... With so many strong ingredients combined, it's not just fierce, it's going to blow the sky apart.

But the Great Elder and Wu Qun didn't think so.

As the saying goes, when you see a mountain as a mountain, you are at the beginner level; only when you see a mountain as not a mountain have you advanced.

The Great Elder and Wu Qun were definitely advanced individuals.

At this moment, the two of them thought for a full three minutes and even exchanged glances, finally concluding... they couldn't understand the prescription at all.

How to put it, if the Great Elder and Wu Qun were to judge, the issue with this prescription wasn't about whether it was fierce, but whether it would explode.

But what Chu Xinghe mentioned was recorded in the Medicine Saint's inheritance.

Sometimes, the path of alchemy is like this; some ingredients that appear to be extremely potent and yang, after refining, have a mild effect, and some poisons can even detoxify and cure diseases.

The principles behind this are something even masters in the art of alchemy cannot fully explain.

And this prescription, obtained by Chu Xinghe from the Medicine Saint's inheritance, must have been tested by the Medicine Saint himself, so there should be no problem.

After a while, the Great Elder spoke softly, "Old friend, with the children here today, I won't ask for their opinions. Knowing you, you wouldn't choose to drag on. Xinghe said there's a fifty percent chance, and even if it were ten percent, you'd still fight for it. So I'll make this decision for you."

The Great Elder didn't need to seek the Zhao family's opinion.

To the Great Elder, Zhao Yuanzhen and his relatives were just like children.

When Zhao Yuanzhen was young, he called the Great Elder "Second Dad."

So now, the Great Elder was the most authoritative figure in the Zhao family.

"Old friend, don't worry. I believe you can pull through. Even if we take a step back and fail, it's our fate. You wouldn't want to become a mindless monster, and I won't let you reach that point! But don't worry, I'll look after the Zhao family children for you. With me here, who in this world would dare trouble the Zhao family? We killed many in our youth, and if anyone dares to act recklessly now, I can still wield a blade!"

The Great Elder's words made the entire Zhao family kneel down.

"What are you doing! Get up!"

"Yuanzhen! As the head of the family, you must uphold its honor. Old Zhao was a proud man, and he should leave this world with pride!"

Zhao Yuanzhen nodded!

Chu Xinghe nodded vigorously!

Pride! Absolute pride!

"Alright, you heard the prescription earlier. Go prepare the ingredients. Select the finest quality for all of them. If there's any difficulty, demand them in the name of the Grand Sky Sect. If you can't get them, seize them! Prepare ten sets of all ingredients, and Xinghe will refine them."

"Yes!" With Zhao Yuanzhen's order, all Zhao family disciples scattered to gather the ingredients, seeking only the finest quality.

No matter who had them, they were to be brought out immediately. The Zhao family wasn't concerned with anything else at this point.

"Great Elder, please use the Essence Nurturing Pill to stabilize Old Man Zhao first."

Chu Xinghe reminded from the side.

Old Man Zhao's condition wasn't good, with the risk of turning into a monster at any moment due to demonic fire.

So the Great Elder had to stabilize him, or else, if the medicine wasn't ready in time and Old Man Zhao transformed, Chu Xinghe would have nowhere to cry.

After all, he was the man who promised to help Old Man Zhao live with pride!

"Hmm!" The Great Elder knew Chu Xinghe was right, so without further ado, he took out the Essence Nurturing Pill to help Old Man Zhao stabilize his condition.

The Great Elder was indeed formidable, his methods truly impressive.

Old Man Zhao, who was barely breathing, was stabilized under the Great Elder's hands. Although he couldn't wake up, he should be able to hold on for a while longer without major issues.

The Zhao family didn't need to host a banquet for the Great Elder.

The Great Elder felt at home in the Zhao family.

"Xinghe, don't consider yourself an outsider in the Zhao family. Everyone here is your brother and sister, just act naturally."

"The Great Elder is right, Junior Brother Xinghe, the Zhao family is the Great Elder's home, and it's your home too."

Chu Xinghe was moved to tears... It is my home, but what's with all these old men calling me great-grandfather?

There was no choice; Old Man Zhao's seniority was incredibly high, and as the Great Elder's disciple, Chu Xinghe was of the same generation as Old Man Zhao's sons.

And many of the Zhao family's direct descendants were far below Zhao Yuanzhen in seniority, leading to a situation where a group of elderly folks cheerfully called Chu Xinghe great-grandfather.

The Zhao family arranged the best accommodations for Chu Xinghe, and just as he was resting, an ominous voice came from outside.

"Senior Brother Xinghe... open the door, I've come to see you."

Little Squirrel!

Bad luck!

Reluctantly, he opened the door, and there stood Little Squirrel, smiling at Chu Xinghe, with Chen Xuewang behind her, looking wary.

"Hello, Junior Sister Luo Ying'er."

"Senior Brother Xinghe, I've encountered some problems recently and wanted to consult you." Little Squirrel's eyes sparkled.

"Oh... is that so... well, let me tell you about it." Chu Xinghe invited the pair inside.

Then, Little Squirrel's questions almost made Chu Xinghe spit blood.

Little Squirrel, oh Little Squirrel, can't you be a bit more serious? The questions you've prepared could be understood by a beginner. It's really hard for me to play along with your act.

Finally, after a reluctant explanation, Chu Xinghe sent off the reluctant Little Squirrel.

Chen Xuewang glared at Chu Xinghe, "Chu Xinghe! Don't even think about my junior sister! You're not worthy of her!"

Chu Xinghe: "..."

In the following two days, the Zhao family acted frantically. All the ingredients Chu Xinghe requested were purchased at exorbitant prices, and if they couldn't be bought, they were seized in the name of the Grand Sky Sect!

The world was shaken!

"Has the Zhao family gone mad? I just got some top-grade Goat Horn, and before I could use it, the Zhao family came with knives... dropped some money and took it..."

"That's nothing. Yesterday at the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, our young master was about to have a conversation with Miss Yanyan, and the Zhao family appeared, forcibly buying the Lanqi our young master had acquired at great cost!"

"We were also forced to sell by the Zhao family..."

The Zhao family's forced buying and selling shocked everyone, but when they thought about it.

What the hell?

Why are all the ingredients the Zhao family is forcibly buying so potent?

What is the Zhao family planning?

Didn't they say Old Man Zhao was in trouble a few days ago?

Does the head of the Zhao family still have the time for this?

And if you're going to do it, why use so many potent ingredients together? Aren't you afraid of surpassing Old Man Zhao?

People have seen forced purchases of spiritual pills and treasures, but forced purchases of such potent ingredients are unheard of.

"Beast! Zhao Yuanzhen is simply a beast! Old Man Zhao is said to be unconscious, and he..."

"You can never truly know someone! With Old Man Zhao gone, Zhao Yuanzhen's true nature is exposed."

"I heard Zhao Yuanzhen secretly took in his 982nd concubine!"

"Damn! Is the Zhao family head that fierce? A role model for our generation!"

Zhao Yuanzhen's name was now infamous.

But the Zhao family couldn't care less, and there was no way to explain it.

How could they say these were for Old Man Zhao?

Would that even be an explanation? Wouldn't that explanation cause an uproar?

Are you still human, Zhao family? Old Man Zhao is in that state... and you're still doing this?

But they couldn't explain further, as it involved the Medicine Saint's inheritance. If the prescription leaked, it would be unimaginable.

So Zhao Yuanzhen, under immense pressure, added a few more potent ingredients to the prescription to confuse others.

The Zhao family became truly famous!

The world's number one martial family for potent ingredients!

I am willing to call the Zhao family the fiercest!

No one knew how fierce the Zhao family head was, but they didn't leave out any potent ingredient you could think of.

And the Zhao family only wanted the most potent and top-grade ingredients. If they weren't the best, they wouldn't take them!

In the past, if a family head had some unspeakable need, they would secretly find trustworthy people to acquire what they needed, fearing discovery, and sometimes even killing those who brought the ingredients to keep it secret.

But the Zhao family was truly fierce!

They didn't even hide it!

Aren't you afraid of dying from taking too much?

Countless people from high-class brothels sighed, saying that Ouyang Qing, once the king of brothels, was now a thing of the past. The fiercest person in the world today was none other than Zhao Yuanzhen!

Ouyang Qing once dared to consume an entire bottle of potent tonic, but now Zhao Yuanzhen was forcibly buying all the potent ingredients in the world!

"Have you heard? The Zhao family is buying potent ingredients under the Grand Sky Sect's name!"

"Damn! The Zhao family is too fierce!"

"Won't the Grand Sky Sect wipe out the Zhao family for this?"

"Don't joke, Old Man Zhao and the Great Elder are close friends!"

"Even close friends can't do this, right?"

In Martial Emperor City, Zheng Yu listened to his subordinates' reports with a bewildered expression.

"Could this be related to Senior Brother Xinghe?"

The information in Martial Emperor City wasn't something outsiders could compare to. Although the outside world didn't know, Zheng Yu had received news of the Great Elder and Chu Xinghe's arrival at the Zhao family a few days ago.

And now, listening to his subordinates' reports, why did it feel like it had Senior Brother Xinghe's style?

Unpredictable... impossible to fathom... completely unable to understand what the next step was!

"I've already collected some of the ingredients Senior Brother requested under the Zhao family's name..."

The people of Martial Emperor City still cared about their reputation; they didn't want to become the world's number one martial sect for potent ingredients after the Zhao family!

Martial Emperor City had wanted to be number one for many years, but this was one title they truly didn't want.

Zheng Yu nodded, "Did you test it?"

"We didn't dare let anyone try it. We found an elephant, and by the fifth ingredient, the elephant..."

"What happened?"

"It exploded..."

Zheng Yu: "???"

Exploded... exploded?

What exploded?

The disciple looked around, then whispered in Zheng Yu's ear.

After hearing it, Zheng Yu was dumbfounded... Damn... Senior Brother Xinghe, I can't see through you... What exactly are you planning this time...

Even the elephant exploded!

Is the Zhao family head really that fierce? Or has Senior Brother Xinghe once again surpassed us all?

Senior Brother Xinghe is truly unfathomable!
