"Liu Wenjian, what do you mean by this?" Lin Jiuxiao shouted angrily.

"I..."

Liu Wenjian's face turned blue and then white. He didn't expect Jiang Chen to be so direct, crushing the medicine bottle immediately!

Swish, swish, swish!

Six figures descended from the sky.

Elder Long glanced at the elixir on the ground, coldly glared at Liu Wenjian, and then turned to look at the Grand Elder of Elixir Valley: "Dan Chen, your Elixir Valley has gone too far!"

Dan Chen's expression changed slightly, he coldly glared at Liu Wenjian, then turned to Jiang Chen: "Head of the Jiang Family, this was Elixir Valley's mistake. I will immediately have someone fetch the reward you deserve."

"No need!"

Jiang Chen said calmly: "I don't want the elixirs, I want the herbs: three portions of Bone Soul Revival Liquid, three portions of Soul Nourishing Pill, five portions of Polyporus Barrier Breaking Elixir, and five of the Polyporus Strengthening Pill. Is this request unreasonable?"

Dan Chen was taken aback for a moment, then lightly nodded: "Not at all."

Turning to the Great Elder, Dan Chen said in a deep voice: "Get the herbs that the Head of the Jiang Family requested, and bring double the amount, all of the highest quality!"

"Yes!"

The Great Elder replied and swiftly flew away.

"Wow! All top-grade herbs! With Grandmaster Jiang's alchemy skills, how many elixirs can he make!"

"Isn't the elixir auction happening tomorrow? Could Grandmaster Jiang be..."

"Haha! If Grandmaster Jiang uses the herbs given by Elixir Valley to make elixirs and then auctions them... no, Grandmaster Jiang knows how to make elixirs and his alchemy skills are high, why would he auction elixirs?"

"Right! I heard there's spirit grass appearing in this Elixir Valley auction, could Grandmaster Jiang be after it!?"

"Wow, is Grandmaster Jiang planning to create a spirit pill, truly reaching the realm of an Immortal Master?"

People around began to discuss eagerly.

Dan Chen and the others looked at Jiang Chen with surprise, thinking along the same lines.

Jiang Chen remained expressionless, as if he had no plans whatsoever.

Whoosh!

After a while, the Great Elder brought the herbs and personally handed them to Jiang Chen.

"Alright! The Dan Contest is over. Tomorrow afternoon is our Elixir Valley's elixir auction, as everyone knows. The auction will not only feature elixirs but also spirit grass. Those interested can stay for the bidding!"

Dan Chen spoke softly and flashed away from the scene.

Elder Long and several others also left.

"Everyone, the contest is over. Those who wish to stay can rest in the area; those who don't, feel free to leave the valley!"

Fu Tianbo called out, taking a deep look at Jiang Chen, turned, and left. Several Great Elders also departed, while Liu Wenjian and a few others shot Jiang Chen a fierce glare before leaving.

Zhang Zhichu glanced at the people from Elixir Valley before stepping towards Jiang Chen and his group: "Head of the Jiang Family, you'd better leave Elixir Valley. You're giving them no face; if you stay, they'll find ways to trouble you. The seniors from the Yanhuang Group will leave tonight, they can't protect you!"

"Sect Master Zhang, thank you for your concern, but I have matters to attend to and cannot leave. Please take Wudang's people and depart promptly," Jiang Chen thanked and advised softly.

Zhang Zhichu was momentarily stunned, not expecting Jiang Chen to advise them to leave instead.

"Sect Master Zhang, Wudang never participates in elixir auctions, right? Hurry and leave!" Lin Jiuxiao said softly.

"Are you going to confront Elixir Valley head-on?" Zhang Zhichu asked in surprise.

Jiang Chen lightly smiled: "Of course not! I'm just interested in that spirit grass. You see, Elixir Valley has some opinions about me, and I'm concerned that after buying the spirit grass, they'll cause trouble. But with Sect Master Lin and Old Master Tang here, nothing should happen, just don't want to drag you into it."

"Oh, that scared me!"

Zhang Zhichu smiled lightly, looked at Lin Jiuxiao and the others: "With Sect Master Lin and the others here, ensuring your safety is easily done. Then we won't stay; Head of the Jiang Family, visit Mount Wudang when you have the chance."

"Sure!" Jiang Chen nodded smilingly.

Everyone exchanged fist-to-palm salutes, and Wudang's people joined the leaving forces and departed from Elixir Valley.

"Let's go back, rest up, and prepare for tomorrow's auction!" Jiang Chen softly called, and the group headed to the resting area.

That day, Lin Jiuxiao and the Six Major Forces stayed together in the pavilion where Jiang Chen resided. These Six Major Forces brought no juniors; the lowest among them were in the Venerable Realm, prepared for battle.

In the middle of the night, Jiang Chen suddenly found Lin Jiuxiao and others, telling Jiang Minglong to leave with Lin Yuling.

Jiang Minglong initially refused, but could not withstand the stern persuasion from Jiang Chen and Lin Jiuxiao, so he left Elixir Valley with Lin Yuling.

"Jiang Minglong left with Lin Yuling!"

In a pavilion within Elixir Valley's Inner Valley, six elders gathered as Hu Ziyang reported the departure of Jiang Minglong and Lin Yuling to the Great Elder.

"Jiang Chen hasn't left, right?" The Great Elder asked calmly.

"No, the others haven't left either!" Hu Ziyang replied softly.

Liu Wenjian frowned slightly: "Why did Jiang Minglong leave in the middle of the night?"

"Who cares why, as long as Jiang Chen hasn't left, it's fine. We're about to act, no unnecessary complications!" The Great Elder glanced at Liu Wenjian.

Liu Wenjian thought for a moment, then nodded gently: "Indeed, our target is Jiang Chen and those top-tier forces that stayed, but it's a pity Wudang's people left."

"It would be strange if Wudang stayed. They never participate in auctions!" Zhu Jiaming said casually.

"Let the Youming Hall deal with Wudang. We'll focus on our task here! Almost twenty sect masters from top forces being killed will be enough to throw the Martial Dao World into chaos!" Zhao Xianping's eyes glinted with a hint of malevolence.

Suddenly, a fierce killing intent arose from Zhao Xianping: "As for that Jiang Chen, I want him to die miserably!"

"The lord has ordered, Jiang Chen will be dealt with personally by him. We just need to make sure he doesn't escape. Don't act recklessly. Are you daring to defy the lord's command?" The Great Elder scolded loudly.

Zhao Xianping closed his mouth with a sullen face.

...

A day after the Dan Contest ended, Jiang Chen, known as a Grandmaster of the Divine Soul, became renowned throughout the Martial Dao World as the various forces departed.

After receiving the news, major forces immediately began investigating Jiang Chen's background.

Meanwhile, Jiang Chen returned to his pavilion after collecting the herbs and stayed there for a day and night.

For this entire day and night, the fragrance of elixirs wafted continuously from the pavilion.

Bang, bang, bang!

In the evening, a knock came at the door.

Yan Hu, who was chatting in the lounge, stood and opened the door.

"Little friend Yan Hu, could you inform the Head of the Jiang Family that the auction will begin in half an hour at the Grand Plaza?" Hu Ziyang cupped his hands to Yan Hu, smiling gently.

"Thank you, Steward Hu."

A call sounded, and both turned to see Jiang Chen coming down the stairs.
