84: Chapter 84 Integrating Medicine God Valley

Upon hearing the words of Valley Master Yao Shu, the seven Elders were stunned; clearly, they had no idea that the Valley Master had actually poisoned them.

"Haha, how about that? Are you very disappointed?"

Valley Master Yao Shu laughed wildly and charged straight toward the pillar of the stone bridge.

Elder Yao Li and the others were startled and wanted to stop him, but it was already too late.

Just as Valley Master Yao Shu's head was about to strike the stone pillar, a powerful suction force pulled him, rendering him unable to move an inch.

"Heh, without my permission, you cannot even die if you want to."

Seeing that Xiao Yuchen had controlled the Valley Master, the seven Elders breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let me go! Even if you control me, it's useless. I won't give you the antidote," Valley Master Yao Shu threatened.

"You overestimate your poison. Do I really need your antidote to detoxify? The four of them have consumed my heart-devouring pill; your life essence blood will have no effect at all.

As for the other three, they can be detoxified just by taking my antidote pill. Your Disciples are a bit troublesome, but for an Alchemist, that is nothing."

As long as there was enough time, detoxification was nothing to Xiao Yuchen, though detoxifying over two thousand people at once meant he would likely have to act as an Alchemy machine for a few days.

"That's impossible! The refining method for the heart-devouring pill has been lost for a long time. Even if you are an Alchemist, it's impossible for you to have refined it," Valley Master Yao Shu was still making a final struggle.

"Believe it or not, that's up to you."

Xiao Yuchen ignored Valley Master Yao Shu and turned his head to look at the three Elders beside him, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Which of you three is Elder Yao Kun?"

Hearing Xiao Yuchen's words, an old man's body trembled, and a bad premonition surged in his heart.

"I... I am."

The old man standing at the very front admitted it voluntarily; after all, he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to.

"I heard you are the brother-in-law of Patriarch Wang Tiande. Patriarch Wang Tiande has already been killed by me. Go ahead and avenge him."

"I... I dare not! I will divorce my wife as soon as I go back. From now on, I will have no relationship with the Wang family whatsoever."

Because his wife had been whispering in his ear, Elder Yao Kun had indeed wanted to cause trouble for Xiao Yuchen before, but now that even the Valley Master at the Middle Stage of the Grandmaster Rank couldn't defeat Xiao Yuchen, how could he dare to make a move against him?

"Heh, it's too late. Didn't you and Patriarch Wang Tiande want to conspire against the Medicine God Valley? It is better to eliminate someone as sinister and calculating as you as early as possible, otherwise, who knows when you might stab me in the back one day.

However, I won't bully you. I will give you thirty seconds to run. If you can escape, I will let you go. If you are caught by me, then there will be only one dead end."

"No... don't, I really..."

"1, 2, 3..."

Elder Yao Kun still wanted to explain, but seeing that Xiao Yuchen had already started counting, he ran away as fast as he could, constantly looking back while fleeing.

"Time is up!"

As soon as the time was up, Xiao Yuchen chased after Elder Yao Kun at an extremely fast speed. Originally, he wanted to take advantage of the remaining time on his experience card to experience Sword Flight, but after thinking about it, he decided to give it up; that would be a bit of bullying.

Watching the direction in which Xiao Yuchen left, the crowd began to discuss, debating whether Xiao Yuchen would be able to catch up.

However, just two minutes later, Xiao Yuchen appeared in everyone's view carrying a person—it was Elder Yao Kun.

Thud!

Xiao Yuchen threw Elder Yao Kun's corpse onto the ground and then looked at the other two Elders with sharp eyes. "Do you two want to become my subordinates, or do you want to become a corpse like him?"

"Subordinates Yao Ting and Yao Zhen pay respects to Master!"

As soon as Xiao Yuchen finished speaking, the remaining two Elders knelt directly in front of Xiao Yuchen.

"Subordinates Elder Yao Li, Second Elder Yao Chen, Fourth Elder Yao Qian, and Sixth Elder Yao Yan pay respects to Master!"

Seeing this, Elder Yao Li and the others also hurriedly knelt down. At this moment, they were sincerely submitting, as the man in front of them was a figure even more formidable than their Valley Master.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuchen took out two more heart-devouring pills and gave them to Yao Ting and Yao Zhen.

Thus, of the eight Elders of the Medicine God Valley, except for Eighth Elder Yao Qing and Elder Yao Kun who died at the hands of Xiao Yuchen, all the others had submitted.

Seeing that he had lost control of the Medicine God Valley, Valley Master Yao Shu was completely devastated. He spat out another mouthful of blood, fell directly to the ground, and completely lost his vitality.

"As long as I do not activate these heart-devouring pills, they will have no effect on you. I hope you will work for me diligently in the future; otherwise, bear the consequences yourself."

"We will strictly obey Master's orders and never disobey," the crowd shouted in unison.

"I don't have that many antidote pills on me. You stay in Jiangcheng for a few days, and I will refine a batch of antidote pills. When the time comes, you can take them back to the Disciples. From now on, the Grand Elder will be the Valley Master of Medicine God Valley."

Xiao Yuchen only wanted to control the Medicine God Valley; he had no interest in the position of Valley Master himself.

"Greetings, Valley Master!"

The five people knelt down to Elder Yao Li once again.

"All of you, get up. In the future, you must serve the Master wholeheartedly. If you perform well, the Master will have rewards for you."

"Yes, Valley Master."

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully completing the challenge. You have obtained one nine dragon qiankun cauldron, one piece of Star Stone, five mid-grade beauty pills, and one bottle of antidote pills. They have been placed in the System Inventory. Please check."

Hearing the System message, Xiao Yuchen nodded with satisfaction.

"It seems I was too friendly in the past. If there were more enemies, I could complete more challenge tasks, and thus obtain more challenge rewards," Xiao Yuchen thought to himself.

Xiao Yuchen left the finishing work to the six Elders of the Medicine God Valley, while he left Black Water Bay with Li Yiran and the other two. After today's battle, no one in Jiangcheng should dare to provoke Xiao Yuchen anymore.

After sending the three of them home, Xiao Yuchen couldn't wait to head to Yunlong Mountain. Now that he had touched the threshold of the Foundation Establishment Stage, it was time to Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Arriving at Yunlong Mountain, Xiao Yuchen took out the xuanyuan sword that the System had gifted him earlier. He wanted to see if he could use Sword Flight to fly up directly.

"Strange, this xuanyuan sword is the head of the ten ancient Divine Artifacts. It was forged by the gods using copper from Shou Mountain for the Yellow Emperor. The reason the Yellow Emperor was able to defeat Chiyou back then was thanks to the xuanyuan sword."

"Since it is a Divine Artifact, why has it become a Spiritual Artifact now? Could it be that when the Yellow Emperor slew Chiyou back then, he exhausted the power of the xuanyuan sword's sword spirit, causing its Rank to drop?"

Unable to figure it out, Xiao Yuchen simply stopped thinking about it and injected a trace of Spiritual Qi into the xuanyuan sword, but after waiting for a long time, there was no reaction at all.

"Huh? Strange, why is there no reaction? Could it be that my temporary Foundation Establishment Stage is not enough?"

Just as Xiao Yuchen wanted to try again, the xuanyuan sword suddenly vibrated violently, then broke free from Xiao Yuchen's restraint and flew into the sky.

"Did it work?"

Seeing that the xuanyuan sword finally had some movement, Xiao Yuchen was a little excited, but the next moment he realized something was wrong.

"Hey, hey, why are you flying so high? I haven't gotten on yet!"

The xuanyuan sword was completely out of control, as if it had turned into a pen, constantly waving in the air. A few dozen seconds later, several lines of small characters appeared in the sky.

"The Battle of Zhuolu, the xuanyuan sword shattered, Guangcheng recast it, the sword spirit is nowhere to be found, find the sword spirit, return to the Peak, slay demons and eliminate devils, protect my Shenzhou," Xiao Yuchen read the words in the sky aloud.

"What does this mean? Doesn't the Battle of Zhuolu refer to that great battle between the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou?"

"So it turns out that after that great battle, the xuanyuan sword shattered. The reason this xuanyuan sword dropped to a Spiritual Artifact is because after the xuanyuan sword shattered, the sword spirit disappeared?"
