1103. Pharmacopoeia begins
"Old man, I, Xiao Yan, assure you, I'm going to take your dog's life."
Yao Wangui was breathing heavily. He was still under the control of Xiao Yan's battle puppet, but he was completely unwilling to submit. So when Xiao Yan made such a threat to him, he also replied firmly: "You dare! I am the Punishment Elder of the Yao Clan. If you dare to touch me, you will be making an enemy of the entire Yao Clan!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan chuckled and said, "Elder Yao Wangui, since this is the Pharmacopoeia, I'll keep you here for a while longer."
Xiao Yan stretched out his right hand and swung it hard, hitting Yao Wangui squarely in the cheek.
"Snap—"
A merciless slap landed hard on Yao Wangui's cheek, leaving him somewhat dazed, his face flushed red without him even noticing.
Then Xiao Yan released his battle puppet and delivered a vicious whip kick to Yao Wangui's chest, sending him flying.
At this moment, the elite members of the Medicine Clan had just gotten up from the ground when they clearly saw such a shocking scene.
However, they no longer had any confidence in fighting Xiao Yan, and could only reluctantly help Yao Wangui, who had been sent flying.
The latter rose from the ground. After all, he was a Dou Sheng-level expert, and Xiao Yan's two attacks had not caused him any substantial damage. However, in front of a large crowd, especially in front of so many elite juniors of the Yao Clan, Xiao Yan's two humiliations were tantamount to killing him outright.
If word gets out about what happened today, how will he ever be able to face anyone again?
"What are you all still looking at? Let's do it!"
Yao Wangui's anger had overwhelmed his reason; he couldn't swallow this insult. However, the other elite members of the Yao clan were clear-headed and hadn't known anything before being blasted to the ground.
Moreover, judging from the performance of that war puppet, it was clear that the other party had deliberately held back. Charging forward at this point would obviously be asking for trouble.
Normally, Yao Wangui acts arrogantly and domineeringly, and because of his status, it's not a problem for them to help him. But now that they've really encountered a tough opponent, they naturally can't continue to blindly rush in.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan clapped his hands in satisfaction, put away the battle puppet, and headed towards the Medicine Clan's Medicine Book Plaza.
This was, after all, the territory of the Medicine Clan, and what he had just done was already the limit. Xiao Yan didn't believe that no other powerful members of the Medicine Clan had observed this place; their inaction was most likely because they wanted to leave the matter entirely to the parties involved.
The Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan are the real enemies now, a fact that Xiao Yan has always been very clear about. As for the Medicine Clan, they are allies, and we are still on their territory. As Yao Lao said, we should try our best to give them some face.
If we really kill Yao Wangui, things will become much more difficult to handle.
Of course, what Xiao Yan said to Yao Wangui just now wasn't just a threat. If he were to actually leave the Yao Clan alone, Xiao Yan would ruthlessly annihilate him.
After all, this person had angered Elder Yao. Back then, Elder Yao was just an ordinary young man from the Yao Clan, whose true strength had not yet been revealed. The latter, on the other hand, was already an elder. Who was right and who was wrong in this matter? Xiao Yan didn't need to think about it to understand perfectly.
Sometimes Xiao Yan could tolerate being humiliated. But humiliating someone important to him, especially inflicting a blow on Yao Lao that he still regrets to this day, was absolutely unforgivable.
After a brief interlude, Xiao Yan arrived at the plaza where the Medicine Clan's Pharmacopoeia was located.
At this moment, many powerful figures have arrived.
Standing atop the building, surveying the entire scene, the group of people, though Xiao Yan didn't recognize them, were able to guess their identities from their distinct auras.
The descendants of the Dou Di (Battle Emperor) belong to the Lei Clan. The descendants of the Dou Di belong to the Yao Clan. The descendants of the Dou Di belong to the Shi Clan.
There were only three people seated at the very front.
Lei Ying, the patriarch of the Lei clan, was not present at this moment. Instead, Lei Qingyue, the second-in-command, appeared in his place.
When Lei Qingyue saw Xiao Yan, he also greeted him with a kind smile.
Seated in the middle was a handsome man with long hair and a long robe. Judging by his appearance alone, there was no doubt that many young women would be attracted to his good looks.
However, one could see signs of vicissitudes and depth in his eyes, indicating that his handsome appearance was merely a disguise, and that he too had experienced many trials and tribulations.
Without anyone introducing him, a name automatically popped into Xiao Yan's mind.
"Chief of the Medicine Clan, Medicine Pill."
Xiao Yan also noticed that ever since he appeared, Yao Dan's gaze seemed to be deliberately fixed on him.
However, he made no other move, so Xiao Yan didn't pay much attention. After all, Yao Wangui was only a four-star elder, and he hadn't actually killed him. If the dignified patriarch of the Yao clan were to break ties with him over something like this, that would be truly shameful.
Beside them stood another burly man, his physique robust, even larger than Lei Qingyue's. His complexion was ashen, and although the three stood side by side, there was still an unnatural unease in his expression when facing Lei Qingyue and the medicinal pills.
"That must be Stone Armor, the patriarch of the Stone Clan."
Originally, the alliance of the Thunder, Medicine, and Stone races was barely considered equal, but the actions of the Soul and Ancient races revealed everything. They chose the weakest race, the Stone race, as their breakthrough point, forcibly attacking the Stone Realm. In the end, they not only lost half of the Stone race's experts but also successfully seized the most important Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade.
The Stone Clan can now only serve as a dependent force, relying on the Thunder Clan and the Medicine Clan. No matter how polite they may be in their words, Stone Armor is still not feeling so good inside.
After Xiao Yan arrived, he also found Elder Yao. The Yao Clan provided excellent service, specially equipping each of the alchemists with a jade-green futon.
In such an important occasion as the pharmacopoeia, the items taken out would naturally not be ordinary. Xiao Yan also found a futon near the old pharmacist and sat down.
The old doctor gave him a look that suggested he carefully sense the energy. As soon as Xiao Yan sat down, he indeed found that his sensitivity to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was much stronger than usual on this futon.
The abundance of battle qi and spiritual energy in the entire medicine world is unprecedented, and with the aid of this futon, Xiao Yan felt a genuine sense of joy.
Xiao Yan looked around and saw that there were now more than ten alchemists sitting there, each of them holding their breath and concentrating.
Among these people, some were people Xiao Yan knew, but most were people he didn't know. There was only one person who could be described as out of place.
That was Wei Jiangyuan, sitting upright next to Shennong. He didn't seem to be conserving his energy at all. He glanced left and right, and when he saw Xiao Yan arrive, he deliberately raised his eyebrows as if to greet Xiao Yan.
