Today, Shen Xiang didn't immediately go to ripen the elixir. He went to a huge square in the middle of the Shen family villa early in the morning, because today was the day when the position of the patriarch was finalized, and the Shen family had not had a patriarch for more than three months, which caused some chaos in the Shen family.

In a huge square paved with stone bricks in the Shen Family Villa, there stood the important children of the entire Shen family, numbering about three hundred, all of whom were the elite children of the Shen family.

Everyone in the Shen family gathered around the square, and there was a large space in the middle, where five middle-aged men were standing, one of whom was Shen Tianhu.

Shen Xiang also gathered in the crowd, watching the excitement, and when necessary, he would go out to help his father compete for the position of patriarch.

A middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and gray hair sneered: "Shen Tianhu, do you know that there is a very important condition for Lu Dao to be the head of the Shen family. ”

This middle-aged man's name is Shen Haohai, and he is a relatively strong branch leader of the Shen family, older than Shen Tianhu, and his strength is the seventh level of the Mortal Martial Realm. This strength is not bad in the Shen family, so he thinks that he is qualified to be the head of the Shen family. In terms of seniority, Shen Xiang still needs to call him uncle.

Shen Tianhu glared at Shen Haohai angrily, and said coldly: "Of course I know that the patriarch's relatives must have good potential, so as not to misappropriate a large amount of public resources to spend on his own relatives. ”

Shen Xiang's mother had passed away a long time ago, and Shen Xiang had not seen him since he was sensible, and Shen Tianhu's relatives were only Shen Xiang alone.

"Ha Lu Ha...... Your son is a man without a spiritual vein, and if you become the patriarch, you will definitely use a lot of precious elixirs on him! Aren't you buying elixirs and elixirs everywhere all these years just to help your son up? But everyone knows his roots. Shen Haohai smiled and said, "Everyone knows that he is a waste who can never get up!"

Shen Tianhu naturally knew that his son was outstanding among his peers, he just wanted to hide his strength, not to expose too much amazing strength, otherwise it would cause trouble.

"My son can release the fire of true qi! He has the potential for alchemy, do you dare to say that he is useless? I'm afraid the elders of the Shen family won't think so. Shen Tianhu sneered.

At this time, everyone was talking about it, and the refusal of the Lingdan Pavilion's main disciple had already spread throughout Crouching Tiger City that day. Although Shen Xiang did not have a spiritual vein, if he had the fire of true qi, he would have the opportunity to become an alchemist.

Shen Haohai snorted coldly: "But he rejected the Spirit Pill Pavilion Master, he can't become an alchemist without a master." ”

At this moment, Shen Xiang's calm and calm voice came: "I can now refine a mortal-grade quenching pill. ”

Hearing Shen Xiang's words, everyone was stunned, but Shen Haohai laughed loudly: "Huangkou Xiao'er, you can refine the pill at the age of sixteen? Don't think that saying a few big words can help your father win the position of patriarch." Also, lying in front of the elders is punishable by heavy punishment. ”

"Do you think you are a genius of the medicine family? The medicine family is a family of pills! ”

Shen Xiang walked out of the crowd, his eyes were clear, his face was calm, he took out a Dan furnace, looked at Shen Haohai and sneered, and said, "Do you dare to bet with me? I have refined a furnace of Quenching Pill, how about you kowtow to me in public and apologize?"

Shen Haohai couldn't laugh, and everyone was stunned, they didn't expect Shen Xiang to be so arrogant and say such a thing!

A junior was presumptuous in front of him, which made Shen Haohai angry.

Shen Tianhu was supportive of Shen Xiang's move, and he knew that the time had come for his son to raise his eyebrows.

Shen Haohai's face was full of anger, and he said in a deep voice, "What did you just say!" As he spoke, a stream of true qi enveloped Shen Xiang, but it was dissolved by Shen Tianhu.

Shen Xiang stared at Shen Haohai with both eyes, raised his voice and said, "I'm going to make a bet with you! If I can refine a furnace of Quenching Pill, you will kowtow to me in public and apologize." ”

Shen Xiang repeated it with a serious face, it didn't look like a joke at all, and that tone was also full of arrogance, there were not many teenagers in the Shen family who could face their elders like this.

Shen Haohai trembled with anger, he didn't dare to agree immediately when he saw Shen Xiang's serious appearance, and some people around him were also waiting for him to answer.

Shen Xiang forced his eyes on Shen Haohai and continued: "You slandered me in public as a useless waste, and now I want to prove myself and at the same time let you apologize to me!

Shen Haohai wanted to slap Shen Xiang to death with one palm, but he didn't dare, after all, killing the young people in his clan was a very serious matter.

An old man said: "In this case, Shen Haohai, you can gamble with him, but kowtow and apologize will be forgiven, that is just the little doll's angry words." In this way, if he can refine a furnace of elixir, Shen Haohai, even if you lose, give him corresponding compensation. ”

"I agree, if my son loses, I will no longer compete for the position of patriarch!" Shen Tianhu said, and then nodded to Shen Xiang.

Everyone was in an uproar again, Shen Tianhu actually released such a big bet!

Shen Haohai snorted: "Bet on it, if I lose, I'll give him the thousand-year-old blood lingzhi I just got." ”

Thousand-year-old Blood Lingzhi! Everyone immediately shouted, it was a thousand-year-old Blood Lingzhi, and it was a very expensive Xuan-level low-grade elixir, "Shen Xiang, now you start alchemy! How long will it take you?" The old man asked, he was an elder of the Shen family and had a certain prestige.

According to everyone's understanding, refining mortal-grade pills takes at least half a day, and the fastest one takes two or three hours, let alone a sixteen-year-old boy.

"Soon, there is no need to delay everyone's time!" As he spoke, Shen Xiang sat down cross-legged, and the elder and Shen Haohai also came over to check the Dan furnace to prevent Shen Xiang from cheating.

"Inferior alchemy furnace, it seems that Shen Tianhu is very poor!" Shen Haohai sneered, everyone knew that Shen Tianhu's money was used on Shen Xiang.

Shen Xiang took out the materials from the storage bag to sort them out, checked them, and then released the fire of true qi to warm the alchemy furnace before putting the materials inside, his movements were very skillful.

And the fire of true qi also made everyone slightly surprised, although many people can release flames when attacking by cultivating some martial arts, but those flames can only be released when attacking. Usually, you can't control it as freely as Shen Xiang, unless you cultivate some fire control **, but those ** are very rare and difficult to practice.

The alchemy furnace had been poured into flames by Shen Xiang, and at this time, a trace of medicinal fragrance wafted from the alchemy furnace.

An hour passed, and everyone saw Shen Xiang with his eyes closed and suddenly frowned, and at a glance, they knew that the Dao was at a critical time, and Shen Haohai was also sweating when he saw it, he was worried that he would lose the thousand-year-old blood Lingzhi.

Everyone saw the mist coming out of the alchemy furnace, and Shen Xiang also opened his eyes, his face was happy, he stood up and said, "Please check." ”

"What, it's done in an hour?" the crowd questioned.

Although he can't do alchemy, he also knows the process of alchemy, he has been looking at Shen Xiang carefully just now, knowing that Shen Xiang has a certain foundation for alchemy, although he doesn't know the situation inside the Dan furnace, but he can sense that the heat released by the Dan furnace is changing, and the change is very subtle.

Opening the lid of the Dan furnace, everyone immediately smelled the faint medicinal fragrance, this was indeed the medicinal fragrance they were familiar with, and they could also witness the refining process with their own eyes, when they saw the elder take out five snow-white pills, they couldn't help but exclaim.
