Chen Xiao's little display immediately drew a chorus of exclamations.

Zhu Xuanqing, however, crossed his arms and said with a face full of disdain, "Hmph, childish tricks. Who refines pills like that?"

Chu Qingbai remained impassive, but as he watched Chen Xiao's pill refining movements, his brows furrowed.

Chen Xiao's pill refining skills were vastly different from any he had ever seen.

It looked very simple, without any cumbersome steps, embodying the idea of simplifying complexity.

He asked, "Xiao Luo, based on your understanding of Mr. Chen, what are his pill refining skills like?"

Chu Luo shook his head directly, saying with a blank expression, "Father, I've never seen Brother Chen refine pills… I didn't even know he could."

Chu Qingbai was now confused, because he wasn't sure whether Chen Xiao had returned to simplicity or simply didn't know anything at all.

"Father, I don't know why Brother Chen is doing this, but you should know that this wasn't my intention, right?"

Chu Luo asked softly.

He was referring to the matter of 'seizing power'.

"You are my son, of course, Father understands you."

As he spoke, Chu Qingbai very rarely touched Chu Luo's head.

Chu Luo was immediately dumbfounded, because his father had never made such a doting gesture to him before.

"My Luo'er has grown up."

Chu Qingbai said something nonsensical, and Chu Luo felt even more at a loss.

Chen Xiao had already put all the medicinal herbs into the pill furnace, and the next step was to wait for the pill to be formed.

"He calls that refining pills? It's not even as meticulous as making pig feed in our Yaowang Valley!"

"Valley Master, I think we can end this farce. Xiao Luo, I'll personally send him out of the valley later. I hope you don't blame me!"

Although Zhu Xuanqing couldn't refine pills, he had been immersed in Yaowang Valley for decades, so he had naturally seen how others refined pills.

And Chen Xiao's pill refining methods, he had never seen anyone use before, so he naturally thought that Chen Xiao was just messing around.

Chu Qingbai ignored Zhu Xuanqing. He stared at the pill furnace in front of Chen Xiao, and a look of horror appeared in his eyes: "This, how is this possible..."

"What's wrong, Valley Master? What's impossible?"

Zhu Xuanqing asked puzzled.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Luo also murmured incredulously.

"It's just a Peiyuan Pill, how can it have such a rich spiritual energy?"

"What are you two talking about? Can you tell me? I'm about to die of anxiety!"

Zhu Xuanqing was so anxious that he jumped up and down, but the Chu family father and son had no time to explain anything to him.

Because they were completely and utterly shocked.

"Alright, the pill is done."

The corner of Chen Xiao's mouth raised, and he smiled slightly.

At this moment, the night sky, which was still bright with the moon and stars a second ago, suddenly became covered with dark clouds.

Because it was night, no one noticed this magical scene. However, just as Chen Xiao was about to uncover the pill furnace, a bolt of lightning suddenly came from the sky and struck the pill furnace directly.

Fortunately, Chen Xiao was no ordinary person, and he quickly grabbed the pill furnace, so he was not struck by lightning!

Seeing this scene, all the surrounding family servants and yard workers were dumbfounded, and they immediately started talking.

"This is… Pill Tribulation Lightning (dan lei)???"

"A small Peiyuan Pill actually attracted Pill Tribulation Lightning?"

"Can someone tell me, what is going on?"

……

"Valley Master, is this, is this really Pill Tribulation Lightning?"

Zhu Xuanqing asked with a face full of astonishment.

This was Yaowang Valley after all, and even the family servants and yard workers could tell that it was Pill Tribulation Lightning. How could Zhu Xuanqing, as a Golden Core Realm cultivator, not see it?

He just, didn't want to believe it.

"Xuanqing, you can call me Qingbai from now on. It seems that Yaowang Valley already has a new Valley Master."

Chu Qingbai said with a bitter face.

"A small Peiyuan Pill can actually attract Pill Tribulation Lightning, I am far inferior to him!"

At this time, he finally understood why Chu Luo, who was always arrogant and conceited, respected Chen Xiao so much.

The so-called Pill Tribulation Lightning refers to the heavenly lightning tribulation that is attracted when a pill is formed because the medicinal power of the pill is too heaven-defying.

However, according to common sense, Pill Tribulation Lightning will only be attracted when refining pills of extremely high grade, because only high-grade pills can have medicinal power that reaches a heaven-defying level.

A small Peiyuan Pill can actually attract Pill Tribulation Lightning. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, even if they were beaten to death, they wouldn't believe it.

At this time, Chen Xiao had already walked over with the Peiyuan Pill.

"Valley Master, please appraise it. Let's see which of our Peiyuan Pills is better or worse. I believe you will give a fair and impartial judgment."

"Mr. Chen, it turns out you are a hidden master. There is no need to look at the Peiyuan Pill you refined, because your pill refining skills are far above mine. I admit defeat sincerely."

Chu Qingbai shook his head with a wry smile and said with a sincere expression.

The surrounding family servants and yard workers were all stunned. In their minds, the Valley Master was the ceiling of the pill refining world.

However, the Valley Master personally admitted that this young man's pill refining skills were far above his. How powerful would this person have to be?

Zhu Xuanqing's face was even redder, looking ashamed.

At this time, he was completely speechless.

What else could he say? Chen Xiao's combat strength was far above him, and his pill refining skills could completely crush Chu Qingbai.

Such a strange person can only be described as a 'monster'!

"You're too kind!"

Chen Xiao said modestly.

He showed off a little, directly suppressing Chu Qingbai and Zhu Xuanqing. His goal had been achieved, so he didn't want to say anything more sarcastic.

"Mr. Chen, can you come with me for a moment? I have something to say to you."

Chu Qingbai asked with a respectful expression.

"Of course."

Chen Xiao nodded.

Then, Chu Qingbai took him into a private room.

"Mr. Chen, I want to ask you, if I pass the position of Valley Master to Chu Luo, can you guarantee that he will win in the life-and-death challenge the day after tomorrow?"

Chu Qingbai went straight to the point and asked directly.

Chen Xiao said without thinking, "I can guarantee it."

Chu Qingbai's eyes suddenly narrowed.

"Mr. Chen, please forgive me for being presumptuous, but can I ask you, what is your purpose in coming to my Yaowang Valley?"

Chen Xiao said lightly, "Outside, Chu Luo is a doctor under me. I admire him very much, and we can be considered teachers and friends, so naturally I won't ignore him when he encounters difficulties."

"Mr. Chen, I believe what you said."

Chu Qingbai nodded seriously, "But you seem to have overlooked one thing."

Chen Xiao didn't speak, because he had already guessed what Chu Qingbai was going to say.

"I believe that with your ability, you can easily help us solve this problem, so isn't it a little too hasty for you to support Chu Luo to take the position now?"

"So I guess, who becomes the Valley Master of Yaowang Valley is not important to you. Your real purpose is to enter the Yaowang Valley Blessed Land!"

"Mr. Chen, am I right?"

Chu Qingbai said quietly, his eyes gleaming.

It was completely different from his previous indecisive and cowardly appearance!
