Immortal Starry Sky-Chapter 640 - 615: Challenge Copper Medicine Fire

The Dragon Charging Pill is one of the top elixirs that made the Copper Medicine family famous.

Back in the day when the old patriarch of the Copper Medicine family established the clan, it was precisely with the Dragon Charging Pill that countless powerful figures were drawn to support them, leading to the glory the Copper Medicine family enjoys today.

In the current era, although the Copper Medicine family has always had the art of alchemy, the natural treasures used for alchemy have become even more invaluable, making the Dragon Charging Pill an even rarer gem among elixirs, such that even in the crowd of strong experts on the First Layer, it is priceless and unavailable.

"It's said that the Dragon Charging Pills made by the main family are only provided to families in core regions and in very limited quantities, causing a scramble and intense competition every time, with prices soaring by countless times... Yet, the first prize in today's family competition is actually a Dragon Charging Pill!"

"It's actually a Dragon Charging Pill... If I could get one, I would surely have a place in the Emperor Spirit Realm!"

"I'm telling you all to stop dreaming, to get the Dragon Charging Pill reward means you have to take first place in the family competition. With your skills, it would be good enough to rank within the top nine hundred. Such impractical fantasies should be abandoned early!"

The mention of the Dragon Charging Pill stirred up quite a commotion.

Even Wang Xu couldn't help but be surprised.

He anticipated that the rewards for this family competition would be generous, after all, it is to cultivate geniuses for the Copper Medicine family, and ultimately the Copper Medicine family would benefit, but he didn't expect the clan to be so willing to offer a Dragon Charging Pill as a prize.

In the books, the Dragon Charging Pill is known as the 'King of Elixirs', not only requiring a large amount of natural treasures but also an extraordinary and unique alchemy process.

Even more important are the benefits to the person consuming the Dragon Charging Pill!

Like the Returning Dragon Pill, the Dragon Charging Pill greatly benefits cultivation, not only significantly shortening cultivation time but also enabling rapid mastery of secret techniques. Its importance to super experts for whom cultivation becomes increasingly difficult cannot be overstated.

"Wang Xu, you have to get this Dragon Charging Pill. With it, the time it takes you to become Emperor Spirit Realm could be reduced by a hundredfold!" You Ji's voice echoed in Wang Xu's heart, with a hint of urgency, "The Dragon Charging Pill has another name, it's also called the 'Emperor Spirit Pill'. Whoever consumes the Dragon Charging Pill, no matter how low their previous realm, can reach the Emperor Spirit Realm in a very short time. This is where the true value of the Dragon Charging Pill lies!"

"Advance to the Emperor Spirit Realm in a short period?" Wang Xu was astonished. He knew the Dragon Charging Pill was incomparably precious, but he didn't expect it could so easily create an Emperor Spirit Realm individual!

Emperor Spirit Realm is not something plentiful; among the billions of beings in the Ganges Realm, those in the Emperor Spirit Realm are rare. Even as powerful as the main family of Copper Medicine, all the Emperor Spirit Realm individuals combined are only a few dozen.

"So, if there are enough Dragon Charging Pills, wouldn't it be possible to create an Emperor Spirit Realm army?" Wang Xu thought, surprised.

But while thinking this is one thing, actually implementing it is far from simple.

The Dragon Charging Pill itself is invaluable, and only super experts have the financial capability to purchase and consume it; why would they waste it on merely creating one Emperor Spirit Realm individual?

Moreover, the greater value of the Dragon Charging Pill is its use in cultivating secret techniques!

In the Ganges Realm, there are no bottlenecks in realm advancement; the only difference in cultivation level is time. Those with high aptitude advance quickly to the Emperor Spirit Realm, while those with low aptitude take longer.

But in any case, as long as they don't die, they can eventually reach the Emperor Spirit Realm.

But secret techniques are different.

Secret techniques require comprehension; without sufficient comprehension, even millions of years won't lead to progress! Especially for super experts, secret techniques are incredibly difficult to cultivate, with progress painstakingly slow. Only with the help of Dragon Charging Pills can comprehension opportunities be increased.

"Thus, my primary task today is not to defeat Copper Medicine Fire, but to secure the first place and obtain the Dragon Charging Pill reward!" Wang Xu clenched his fist.

Reaching the Emperor Spirit Realm faster means Wang Xu can complete his task and return to Chaos more quickly.

"I announce, the family competition is officially starting now. The person with the lowest ranking has the priority to challenge higher-ranking individuals. Remember, the family competition is life or death, and everyone only has three challenge opportunities. Be very cautious!" The white-haired elder's voice had just fallen when someone immediately stood out to challenge.

"I, Copper Medicine Qu Qing, challenge Yu Suhe, ranked seven hundred sixty-six!"

The thousandth rank challenging the seven hundred sixty-sixth rank, a gap of over two hundred ranks, instantly ramped up the competition's atmosphere.

Wang Xu was ranked two hundred, so naturally, it wasn't his turn yet. This gave him plenty of time to observe the opponents on the platform.

The battles from start to finish were extremely swift. In exchange of blows between masters, even a slight lapse could immediately determine the outcome.

In less than a quarter of an hour, more than ten battles had occurred. One of the Copper Medicine clansmen was even killed on the spot, clearly overestimating their abilities and choosing an unsuitable opponent, resulting in a massacre.

Some people gave up the chance to challenge higher.

They realized that being placed at this rank was already beyond their strength. If they continued to challenge, all that awaited them was defeat, and perhaps even the risk of death.

An hour later.

"It has reached the seven hundredth rank."

Two hours passed.

"Next, the four hundred rank will initiate challenges."

By the time the third hour arrived, the referee suddenly announced the two hundred ninety-third rank chose to challenge.

"The two hundred thirty-seventh rank, Tai Xu, who is your chosen opponent?" The referee's gaze swept through the crowd, coming to rest on Wang Xu.

All at once, everyone's eyes converged on him.

Wang Xu's steps were light as he walked out from the crowd, his gaze lifting to the ranking list suspended in the air. He pointed a finger directly at the second-ranked position: "I want to challenge the second place, Copper Medicine Fire."

Wow!

As soon as Wang Xu spoke, it immediately sparked a significant uproar.

Previously, all the Copper Medicine clan members had chosen opponents who were not more than a hundred places above themselves in ranking. After all, rankings represented the strength gap between two sides; once the gap was too vast, it would be suicidal for the challenger.

Wang Xu's decision surprised everyone by choosing to challenge the second-ranked Copper Medicine Fire right off the bat, with a ranking gap of over two hundred places. Isn't this just seeking death?

After the uproar, all eyes were on Wang Xu, filled with mockery, ignorance of the immensity of heaven and earth, and disdain.

Even among the clan's high officials, his decision stirred some commotion. Many of the top clan experts shook their heads, scoffing at Wang Xu's choice. As a senior clan leader, Copper Medicine Wufeng was mocking even more.

In the hollow corridor, only Copper Medicine Thunder Roar stared intently at Wang Xu, full of appreciation.

These years, intentionally or unintentionally, he had probed Wang Xu's strength. Based on his judgment, Wang Xu could at least match those in the late stage of the Ancient Spirit Realm, so he had dared to make a bet with Copper Medicine Wufeng.

"Tai Xu, are you sure you want to challenge Copper Medicine Fire?" the referee asked again.

"That's right." Wang Xu affirmed.

Seeing this, the referee ceased to persuade and immediately waved a hand: "Copper Medicine Fire, face the battle!"

Whoosh!

An elusive and ethereal figure appeared on the martial platform at a speed almost invisible to the naked eye, standing firm with icy eyes fixed on Wang Xu.

Copper Medicine Fire.

"If you dare to challenge me, it means you're prepared to die. In the clan's tournament, life and death are not considered. If you die by my hand, blame only your own bad luck!" Copper Medicine Fire said coldly.

"Victory or defeat is not for you to decide, but I also must state it again: here, in the clan's tournament, life and death are not considered. If you die by my hand, I will devour your core on the spot!" Wang Xu's smile had a hint of murderous intent.

"Today, you're dead!" Copper Medicine Fire's robes moved without wind, his black hair danced with the breeze, and his pupils turned crimson.

Wang Xu leaped onto the martial platform, and as the referee's hand waved down, Copper Medicine Fire's body surged fiercely towards Wang Xu!

The pupils had turned crimson, seemingly affecting Copper Medicine Fire's body technique speed, which had become much slower than before. Yet, even so, Wang Xu could feel the power hidden in Copper Medicine Fire's robe-hiding hands was at least ten times stronger than before!

"A secret technique that sacrifices body technique speed for mighty power?"

To this, Wang Xu neither dodged nor avoided, simply lifting his hands.

Bang!

The sound of air exploding resounded, a turbulent wave rapidly spreading as the two of them struck at the same moment, precisely clashing together!

"You're sparring with me? You're still too green." Wang Xu's lips curved into a teasing smile, his fist suddenly exerting force.

Still in shock, Copper Medicine Fire had no time to react before being fiercely struck by Wang Xu's sudden burst of power, sent flying backwards, skidding along the ground. Luckily, his strength was not lacking, managing to stabilize at the edge of the martial platform.

Wow!

Everyone present saw this scene, almost too stunned to speak.

Copper Medicine Fire actually suffered a loss at this kid's hands?

Where did this guy come from? How come no one has ever heard of such a fierce figure among the Copper Medicine clan's juniors!

"Tai Xu?! Which lineage does he belong to?" The white-haired old man, the clan leader Copper Medicine Xiuzhen, suddenly stood up, asking repeatedly.

His eyes were bright, like sparks igniting.

This young man named Tai Xu is a super genius, absolutely no less than He Xian!

"Clan leader, Tai Xu is my son-in-law, who just joined the clan not long ago." Copper Medicine Thunder Roar stood up respectfully.

"Thunder Roar? He's your clansman?" Copper Medicine Xiuzhen asked, surprised.

Regarding Copper Medicine Thunder Roar, how could the clan leader not be aware of his past?

He had thought Copper Medicine Thunder Roar would remain in the Second Layer, forever silent. Little did he expect him to bring such an outstanding clan member from the Second Layer!

"That's right. This time, I'm very fortunate; I initially went to the Second Layer for training but encountered Tai Xu during that period. We hit it off instantly. Plus, my daughter Copper Medicine Ye Rong was mutually attracted to him, so I simply brought him into the Copper Medicine family." Copper Medicine Thunder Roar smiled as he spoke, "To be honest, it's all thanks to Wufeng. If he hadn't sent me to train in the Second Layer back then, I might never have met Tai Xu."

Finishing, Copper Medicine Thunder Roar deliberately glanced at Copper Medicine Wufeng. At this moment, Wufeng's eyes were fixed on the martial platform. Hearing Copper Medicine Thunder Roar's words coupled with Copper Medicine Fire's setback, his face turned an iron blue.

"Good! Good! Excellent! This child has talent like He Xian; his future is limitless. We must keep him in the main clan for cultivation! Thunder Roar, you've done a great deed this time!" Copper Medicine Xiuzhen laughed heartily. (To be continued. If you liked this work, welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets on Qidian.com; your support is my greatest motivation.
