Chapter 224 I can only do it myself.
The council hall of the Xiao family in Jiang City.
"What? Is there news from the main family in the capital that they're summoning the trial disciples to the capital?"
As soon as Xiao Chen arrived, he asked the family head, Xiao Jialin.
"No, but it will be soon," Xiao Jialin replied.
"We called you here today because there are some things we need to tell you..." The group gestured for him to sit down.
"We have already secretly reported your outstanding performance in this trial to our main family, and now we have received instructions from them."
"To date, no one has ever been able to pass the trial. Your outstanding performance has even shocked the highest levels of our family. Considering that leaking this information would cause a commotion and bring you many crises, the head of our family has ordered that all information be blocked and not spread."
“The people who witnessed that day have all done their work. In order to protect you, it is necessary to sacrifice some of the branch family members if necessary.”
Xiao Chen's expression turned slightly grim.
Does this mean silencing them?
Is our family really that ruthless?
"Don't overthink it. All the disciples I witnessed that day are fine. It was just a choice made out of necessity," Xiao Jialin explained.
"Our family will release false information and push someone out to show their face in public. You, on the other hand, are just an ordinary trial disciple from the Xiao family of Nancheng."
"can you accept?"
The Xiao family members looked at Xiao Chen with some trepidation.
No young martial artist of this age doesn't want to be famous throughout the martial arts world. It's normal for Xiao Chen to have a resistance to being asked to hide his talents and be content with an ordinary life.
"What's unacceptable about it?" Xiao Chen's reaction was calm, but it surprised the others.
They were unaware of Xiao Chen's true stature and had no interest in vying for that empty fame.
Less fame, less trouble.
"It would be best if you could understand." Xiao Jialin was very pleased.
"How are the Rejuvenation Pills selling?" Xiao Chen changed the subject and asked.
"Of course, demand exceeds supply!" The Xiao family all laughed.
A single "Rejuvenation Pill" made the Xiao family of Jiang City famous and elevated their status by more than one level.
Along with it came enormous wealth.
"Even though we have repeatedly raised the price and purchase conditions of the Rejuvenation Pill, the enthusiasm of buyers has not diminished at all. Nowadays, there is actually not much stock left in the store. There are only a few pills left to maintain the store's reputation, and we don't sell them easily."
"Just like that Youth Pill, we've also established a membership tier system, where members upgrade their tier based on their spending. This has spurred a buying frenzy for other medicines. It seems that it won't be long before our Xiao family becomes the richest family in Jiang City!" Xiao Jialin said, beaming with excitement.
How could they have ever dared to think of such a thing?
After Xiao Chen arrived, the Xiao family underwent a dramatic transformation in a short period of time, and everyone was thrilled.
"Won't it be long?" Xiao Chen frowned. "Then let that day come even sooner."
After he finished speaking, he waved to Dongfang Ruyi who was standing next to him.
Dongfang Ruyi walked over carrying a box and placed it on the table.
"This is..." The Xiao family members looked expectant.
“Three hundred Rejuvenation Pills, at this rate, should be enough to sustain the pharmacy for a while,” Xiao Chen said.
"Three hundred... pills?!" The Xiao family gasped in shock.
The price of the Rejuvenation Pill has skyrocketed outside, and many people are desperate for it, yet he casually pulls out three hundred pills... giving people the impression that it's cheap.
Such precious and miraculous pills, I really don't know how he made them.
"With these Rejuvenating Pills, it's hard for Xiao's Pharmaceuticals not to stand out. As long as we accelerate the improvement and research of other drugs, we might become the industry leader in Xia Country in the future!" Xiao Jialin said, unable to hide his excitement.
The Xiao family members were all looking forward to it, their faces beaming with smiles.
"It's time for this thing to be released," Xiao Chen said, taking out a small porcelain bottle.
"What is this?" everyone asked curiously.
"The Longevity Pill can extend one's life by ten years," Xiao Chen said calmly.
"What!!"
The Xiao family members stared wide-eyed.
Longevity drugs have always been a difficult problem that the medical community has been trying to solve.
The president of the Xia Kingdom Pharmacists Association and his large team had been researching for many years without achieving any effective results. That's why they were so excited when they learned that Xiao Chen had developed the technology. They personally came to Jiang City to help him out and invited him to join the association.
But even the Xiao family didn't expect Xiao Chen to be able to produce such a top-quality pill.
One pill, ten years to extend life...
For those who dream of living even one more day, what is the concept of a ten-year lifespan?
It's hard to imagine the sensation this pill would cause once it's released!
Xiao's Pharmaceuticals holds a patent for a life-extending drug, and its future prospects are unpredictable.
It's as dreamlike as lifting a carp over the Dragon Gate and transforming it into a real dragon.
The Xiao family members were at a loss for words.
Xiao Chen's response to the Xiao family was so astonishing and extravagant that it left the Xiao family completely bewildered.
"First, send this one to the largest auction house in the capital to create hype. Then, put the five-year life-extending one into pharmacies and set a higher entry barrier," Xiao Chen said.
"I will give you a few of these five-year longevity pills every now and then, so make good use of them."
"I'll do whatever you say..." Xiao Jialin nodded with a smile.
……
Inside Dongfang Ruyi's room.
After leaving the council chamber, she took the initiative to bring Xiao Chen here.
Smelling the faint fragrance in the room, Xiao Chen's mind wandered, and he couldn't help but recall her madness that day.
It can't be...
"I'm going back to headquarters," Dongfang Ruyi said as soon as she opened her mouth.
Xiao Chen's expression faltered slightly.
"Headquarters has issued several urgent orders. The candidates for the Martial Alliance Leader are about to compete to decide who will be the next Martial Alliance Leader..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen raised an eyebrow slightly.
He intends to help Dongfang Ruyi take that position.
"What are your thoughts on my unorthodox cultivation method?" Dongfang Ruyi asked.
Since they were going to cooperate, she needed Xiao Chen to show his sincerity.
“If I let you practice the Taoist cultivation technique ‘Shentai Jing’, it can offset the side effects and increase your internal strength,” Xiao Chen replied.
Dongfang Ruyi frowned upon hearing this.
"The Shentai Scripture is one of the three top-level cultivation methods of Taoism, and it is held by the strongest Taoist master. How did you obtain it?"
"Even if you have immense influence and can invite the strongest Taoist master, how could he possibly impart the Shentai Scripture, which is so important?"
"The cultivation method is easy to discuss, but it's unrealistic to invite the person here right now. That old man travels all over the world, and I can't find him either," Xiao Chen said.
Dongfang Ruyi's pretty face froze for a moment.
Judging from his tone and word choice, what exactly is his relationship with that legendary Taoist master?
“There is another way… that is to have a transcendent being cleanse your meridians and rebuild your true energy. In this way, the evil technique will no longer be evil, and there will be no more side effects to disturb your mind,” Xiao Chen continued.
"Heh." Dongfang Ruyi scoffed.
Transcendent beings...
This is more difficult than what I just mentioned.
"There are only a handful of extraordinary people in the world, and they are all like dragons whose heads are seen but not their tails. What you're saying... is just wishful thinking," she retorted.
"It's really impossible for me to find one for you in a short time. There's no other way but to do it myself," Xiao Chen sighed.
"What?" Dongfang Ruyi was shocked.
"boom!"
A terrifying burst of true energy erupted from Xiao Chen, enveloping Dongfang Ruyi.
Dongfang Ruyi's pupils dilated in shock, her face filled with disbelief.
“You…you are…” she struggled to remain calm.
"Focus your mind and circulate your internal energy," Xiao Chen commanded.
Dongfang Ruyi had no choice but to comply.
Half an hour later, Dongfang Ruyi completed the reconstruction of her true energy and would no longer be bothered by the side effects of evil arts.
She felt the powerful inner energy within her body, and her gaze towards Xiao Chen was very complex.
The reshaping of her true energy brought her tremendous benefits, not only increasing her strength but also unlocking her potential.
The person before me is mysterious, powerful, and young; I truly don't know how such a person could exist in the world.
Xiao Chen took out a pill.
"Our trust in each other is limited. This is poison; once ingested, it needs to be suppressed with medication periodically," he said calmly.
“That makes sense.” Dongfang Ruyi took it expressionlessly and swallowed it whole.
