Two people came, one was a middle-aged man with a broken arm, and the other was a young man with outstanding grace. They stood there with a hint of ill intention, like a flood or a beast, unstoppable.

"Ding Cheng, until the last moment, it's still unclear who will win. I'm here to destroy your Ding family."

Sun Zaixing let out a loud roar that shook the sky. It was filled with anger at the loss of all the elite members of his clan, but also with pride, a very complicated feeling.

Soon, Ding Cheng came out. He ignored Sun Zaixing and said respectfully to Jun Chengxiu, "Elder Chen Sheng wants to see you."

He had expected this moment and knew that Jun Sung-soo would come.

From the beginning to the end, only Sun Zaixing felt that he had a sure win.

In fact, he never had a chance of winning.

"Mr. Chen? Elder Yaolu? Does he know I'm coming?"

Jun Chengxiu's indifference disappeared after hearing a name.

His mind was in a mess, he didn't know how such a simple matter could become so complicated.

"lead the way!"

He was anxious in his heart, but he still maintained a calm and detached expression on his face, letting Ding Cheng lead the way as he walked.

"Why not do it?"

Sun Zaixing was left behind and stood in front of the Ding family's gate. He was not allowed to enter, but also unwilling to retreat. He just stood there in a daze, like a confused quail.

"Hello, fellow Taoist."

In a quiet courtyard, Jun Chengxiu saw Mr. Chen. It was indeed the one. He was calm and gentle. Even though his face looked a little cold, he did not show an aloof look.

He did not dare to be arrogant and bowed. Even though they were both outer sect elders, their power was so different that there was really no comparison.

"Master Junfeng, what are you doing here?"

Mr. Chen glanced at Jun Chengxiu indifferently. It was a very ordinary greeting, but it made Jun Chengxiu feel pressured, as if a storm was coming.

"No big deal..."

He wanted to just brush it off, but Chen Sheng glanced at him and said what was really in his mind, "I wanted to wipe out the Ding family."

It is easy to say and do. He can easily destroy a family of immortal cultivators who only have Qi Refining Realm. It is not an exaggeration.

"Fortunately, we invited this person here."

Hearing this, cold sweat broke out on Ding Cheng's back.

He made a good move by first inviting the big shots who had a relationship with his ancestors, otherwise the Ding family would really be gone after this time.

"Oh, it seems you have something against me."

Chen Sheng's eyes were as sharp as knives as he stared at Jun Chengxiu, revealing a hint of coldness.

As long as he is around, he will not let anything happen to the Ding family unless they make a big mistake.

"No, how could that be?"

Jun Chengxiu could sense Chen Sheng's determination and knew that this was the bottom line that could not be touched, so he hurriedly asked, "Does Daoyou Chen have any connection with the Ding family?"

There is a huge gap between the two. One is an inconspicuous small family, and the other is a powerful elder of the Immortal Sect. They should not have any intersection.

He was impatient and contemptuous, so he didn't investigate thoroughly and stepped into the trap.

"An old ancestor of the Ding family is the founder of my alchemy."

Mr. Chen sighed.

He is still benefiting from Master Ding Dan's pharmacology. How can his descendants not lend a helping hand?

"I really don't know about this."

Jun Chengxiu's face turned bitter. This relationship was actually very deep.

No one could have imagined that a Taoist alchemist from a small family could have left behind such a huge amount of energy after his death.

"I don't know, it's not a crime, is that right?"

Mr. Chen's eyes were like a sharp sword. Without him here today, things could not be reversed.

"I didn't handle this matter well enough, and I caused the head of the Ding family to suffer injustice. I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."

Jun Chengxiu lowered his head slightly, not wanting to offend Mr. Chen. He also knew the root cause of the matter, so he made an assurance to the head of the Ding family.

Nothing can happen to him, Chen Sheng cannot be offended, and Ding Cheng must be given an explanation, so Sun Zaixing can only suffer.

"Senior, it's not necessary... it's not necessary..."

Ding Cheng waved his hands quickly. Although he was very satisfied with this way of handling the matter, Jun Chengxiu was an elder of the Immortal Sect and should not be neglected.

The other party seemed friendly and easy to talk to at the moment, but this was all in front of Mr. Chen. If it were somewhere else, he would not be able to enjoy such treatment at all.

"Go ahead."

Mr. Chen no longer looked at Jun Chengxiu, and the slight coldness on his body also dissipated. He waved his hand, feeling very relaxed.

"yes."

Jun Chengxiu felt relieved, turned around and walked away. He came to the gate and saw Yang Zaixing standing there.

"My lord, is there anything wrong?"

Sun Zaixing had been waiting for a long time, his heart felt like it was being fried in oil, he was extremely anxious and had no idea what was going on.

He was clearly here to wipe out the Ding family, but as soon as he arrived he became friendly and left him aside.

"Nothing, I just want to wrong you."

Jun Chengxiu said something lightly, but Sun Zaixing could no longer hear it clearly.

A palm like a sculpture of white jade came down and directly suppressed Sun Zaixing's mind and hit him on the head before he could react.

"Bang"

Sun Zaixing fell straight down, half of his head was shattered, his face was blurry, and he probably couldn't understand anything when he died.

"After this, the Sun family has nothing to do with me anymore."

After killing the culprit, Jun Chengxiu left some words and disappeared. From then on, he cut off all ties with the Sun family and no longer protected them.

In the mansion, Ding Cheng was so excited when he heard this that he kowtowed to Chen Sheng.

Immediately afterwards, he ordered people to cut off the Sun family's immortal cultivation heritage and expel the remaining mortals, women and children from Dingcheng.

Another day or two passed.

"This matter is over, and I should leave too."

Chen Shengsheng began to think about leaving.

"Senior, please stay a few more days. We haven't entertained you much yet."

Ding Cheng was a little anxious. With Chen Sheng here, he felt at peace. It would be good if he could stay for a few more days.

"That's all false."

Chen Sheng didn't care about these empty formalities. He waved his hand, took out something from his sleeve, gave it to Ding Xu, and said, "This book is for you. Practice well."

A few days ago, he promised Ding Xu to compile a book of pharmacological knowledge for the other party to study.

The booklet describes all the first-order pharmacology involved, as well as some second-order stuff. Ding Xu can control it all, and his future is bright.

"I will never let down the cultivation of my predecessors."

Ding Xu was overjoyed. The pharmacology knowledge left behind by a second-level alchemist was extremely valuable. It was really a blessing from his ancestors that he could obtain it.

After resolving the crisis for the Ding family, Chen Sheng returned to the mountain gate and did not move for a long time.

Flowers bloom and fade, spring and autumn turn.

Twenty-five years passed in the blink of an eye.

The medicine house inside the outer gate is still the same, at its peak.

Alchemy apprentices grew up one after another, strengthening the middle structure and making the people at the top of the pyramid appear more majestic and sacred.

Zhou Liesheng was already a hundred years old. His black hair had turned white. He had lost his youthful spirit, and had become languid and old. Those who sat and watched the sunset were filled with sighs.

Ever since Tang Hua left, his mood changed. He no longer had the determination, but instead became more steady.

The only thing on my mind is Zhou Huang.

This favored child of heaven in the Yaolu era lived up to everyone's expectations and moved forward all the way, and has now reached the realm of great perfection in Qi refining.

Everyone thought that he was Chen Sheng's successor, the second leader to lead Yaolu to glory.

People like Qi Luo, Cheng Yushu, He Zhi, and Mu Tong are all old and gray-haired now, and are regarded as highly respected people by the younger generations.

The next era of Yaolu.

It belongs to Zhou Huang. He has people like Youye and Shangqu available, so his future is bright.

"It's Elder Chen Sheng. He went to Baiyu Peak."

When the disciples from various peaks saw Chen Sheng flying away into the void and gazing at the White Jade Peak from afar, they felt envious.

Baiyu Peak and Yaolu have a deep connection. Over the years, relying on the power of Yaolu, it has become increasingly stable, without any signs of decline.

There is never a shortage of money for elixirs, which is much better than what they, the Taoist disciples, have.

"I will be as brilliant as him."

There are also young men with great ambitions who aspire to become someone like Mr. Chen, to control real power, to be admired by thousands of people, and with just a thought, they can make a giant serve them.

"The last one standing is the winner. Time has left too many people behind."

Mr. Chen looked down at the people below and saw the envy and respect in the eyes of the young men, but he did not feel proud.

He has very poor talent for cultivation, and the only reason he has gotten to this point is because he has lived a long life.

Of the same generation, all the outer disciples died, and only four inner disciples who had successfully established their foundation were able to survive.

"I didn't encounter any trouble, don't worry about it."

During this period of time, Baiyu Peak encountered turmoil, and some of its industries had friction with the people of Langya Immortal Sect.

For this reason, Luzhu stayed at Baiyu Peak to coordinate, and she had not returned to Yaolu Longxing Palace for several days.

"Solved?"

Mr. Chen asked.

"Um."

Lu Zhu didn't want to waste time talking about trivial matters, so she asked, "Where is Zhou Huang? Has he set a date for his return?"

Zhou Huang is no longer young. At the age of forty-four, he has reached the state of great perfection in Qi Refining. He is an absolute genius. But in the eyes of Luzhu and others, he is still a child and needs care as well.

Half a year ago, Zhou Huangjue unexpectedly went out to train himself, but she would not allow it.

"No."

Mr. Chen shook his head. In order to achieve the desired effect of training, Zhou Huang had given up too many helps. His whereabouts were erratic and only a little news came back every ten days or half a month.

"I don't agree with him going out. It would be better for him to settle down for ten years."

Luzhu muttered that Zhou Huang was too arrogant and would be easily broken if he was too rigid. If he stopped at this time to cultivate his character and calm down for ten years, that would be truly terrifying.

"He is a child of destiny. His ideas are different from ours."

It’s not that Chen Sheng doesn’t understand this truth, but the ideas of the geniuses are different from those of them who have mediocre talents. The other party is fighting for a short period of time and wants to compete with God.

The spirit and courage of young people cannot be restrained. Persuasion is useless and we can only let them go.

"Oh, I can't control it."

Lu Zhu's ambition has never been high, and after she became a Taoist partner with Chen Sheng, she longed for a simple and harmonious life.

With the rise of the younger generation, she is more than willing to step down and make way for others.

"Your Excellencies..."

At this time, a middle-aged man who was at the tenth level of Qi Refining came hurriedly. He should have been in the most cautious age, but he looked horrified. He knelt in front of Chen Sheng and Lu Zhu, trembling with fear, his mind distracted, as if the sky had fallen.

"Tell me, what's the matter!"

Mr. Chen stood there with his body straight and tall, revealing an unshakable calmness, his eyes calm and composed, which could calm the minds of those around him.

"A group of monsters in the Fushui River caused a flood, which submerged Suoguan County. Zhou Huang Tianjiao tried to suppress it with all his strength, but died of exhaustion."

The middle-aged man's emotions had calmed down a lot, but he still couldn't get rid of his panic. It was obvious that the news was too shocking.

He lowered his head, extremely frightened, and slowly explained the reason.

"Zhou Huang had an accident?!"

Luzhu was shocked and looked at Chen Sheng worriedly. She asked the middle-aged man, "Is the news true?"

This news was like a bolt from the blue.

Zhou Huang had already been designated as the elder of the medicine house, and everyone in the group agreed with him and devoted a lot of effort to him, including Chen Sheng and Zhou Lie.

If I go now, there will be too many changes.

"It is true. The body has been found and is being transported back."

The middle-aged man lowered his head, not daring to look at the elder in high position. The designated successor of the medicine house had passed away, and this man's expression must have been extremely terrifying.

"call……"

Chen Sheng let out a long breath, his eyes became extremely deep, and he looked at the medicine house in front of him in silence.

"Impossible! How could my son die!"

Zhou Lie lives alone in a yard. He has a head full of white hair and an old face. He is already in his old age.

Whether he liked it or not, his life was quiet. The only people he kept in touch with were Zhou Huang, his master's wife, and his teacher.

The former is the person he has poured all his efforts into, who will inherit his unfulfilled wishes and make up for his unfulfilled regrets.

Prosper the family and bring honor to the family.

After the foundation is laid, I will assist the teacher.

Inherit the medicine house and show your holiness to all directions.

But at this moment, all these visions were shattered.

The son whom he had poured countless efforts and hopes into was actually dead. At the most brilliant age of his life, he passed away like a comet.

How could this not drive him crazy?

"Investigate this matter thoroughly. I want everyone dead."

Zhou Lie's expression became ferocious, his hunched body was stretched straight, and he exuded a murderous aura.

He wanted to investigate this matter thoroughly, without any doubt.

Investigate the monsters in Fushui River.

Inside the pharmacy, it is suspected that someone is behind this.

Zhou Lie is Chen Sheng's only disciple. In the medicine house, he seems to be less prominent than Qi Luo, the chief steward, but he is the real boss.

The one who controls the righteous cause is Chen Sheng, who has been taken care of since he was a child. His orders are able to mobilize a large number of immortal practitioners in the medicine house.

The medicine house was in turmoil, and there were even signs of war.

One day later, a large number of practitioners surrounded Cheng Yushu's yard, and the sound of armor was extremely loud.

"This is the residence of Master Cheng Yushu. What do you want to do?"

The guards in the yard were extremely furious. Their master was a big shot in the medicine house. He had been standing tall for decades and could be called an evergreen tree.

Such a powerful figure was surrounded in his mansion this time, and the other party was extremely arrogant.

"Cheng Yushu, where did you go that afternoon seventeen days ago?"

Zhou Lie stood out from the crowd. His eyes were a little red and his expression was ferocious, exuding a violent and cruel aura.

With Zhou Huang's death, most of the spiritual pillars of his inner world collapsed, and he was no longer a rational person.

Otherwise, he would never do such a thing as raising troops to attack the medicine house.

"Lord Zhou Lie?"

The monk guarding the courtyard recognized Zhou Lie and knew that the matter was of great importance. He did not dare to delay and went straight to the inner courtyard to invite Cheng Yushu out.

"I went back to my family."

Cheng Yushu knew what was happening and didn't want to get involved, so he did nothing.

But while sitting quietly at home, I was still dragged into this.

Seeing the crazy Zhou Lie, he cooperated very well and answered Zhou Lie's questions.

"Are you going home to plot your way to the top? Take him away from me."

Zhou Lie didn't believe it. The time when Cheng Yushu returned home was too close to the time when Zhou Huang died.

He suspected that Cheng Yushu was the one who murdered Zhou Huang behind the scenes.

The other party has this motive and reason.

He holds great power and is one of the most important figures in Yaolu.

There is a powerful immortal cultivation family behind him. If not for himself, he has to consider the future generations.

Also, this guy's thoughts in his early years could not be considered upright, which is worthy of suspicion.

"This matter is unclear. You can't do this."

At Zhou Lie's command, all the cultivators pressed forward. The cultivators loyal to Cheng Yushu wanted to resist and did not want to be captured just like that.

Besides, this matter is too big. If you get deeply involved in it, even an innocent person will die if he is splashed with dirty water.

"Anyone who dares to stop me will be killed!"

Zhou Lie said indifferently.

The more you try to stop it, the more guilty you feel.

After losing Zhou Huang, he no longer had the heart to remain calm. Anyone who resisted out of fear would die.

"Don't move."

Cheng Yushu took a deep breath, asked the monks in the mansion to withdraw, tied his hands, and said, "I will go with you."

At this time, you must not lose your composure.

If Chen Sheng was dead, Zhou Huang fell, and the position of the Elder of Yaolu remained vacant, he would not do this, but that person was still alive, so he did not dare to cause trouble.

"Detaining the Medicine House Alchemist, Zhou Lie, are you crazy?"

"You can't do that."

"This matter is too big. If it gets out of hand, you will ruin the medicine house."

…

For several days in a row, Zhou Lie went crazy and wreaked havoc in the pharmacy. He arrested anyone who had any connection with Zhou Huang or who was suspicious.

During this period, one or two alchemists suddenly rebelled and were killed by Zhou Lie.

The entire Yaolu was plunged into turmoil. Cheng Yushu, one of the top leaders, was detained, an alchemist was killed on the spot, more than a dozen alchemists were arrested, hundreds of practitioners were implicated, and more than a dozen practicing families were also involved.

For a time, people were in panic and the situation was extremely chaotic.
