Chapter 184 The End of the Music

After a long silence, Mr. Danchi finally stepped forward, his voice trembling, as if he had aged decades in an instant: "A divine pill! It truly is a divine pill! It lives up to its name of 'creating life and death'! This old man admits he could not refine it and can only concede defeat!"

After saying this, he bowed deeply, giving Xiao Chong a full salute.

The so-called facts are the sole criterion for testing truth, and even a blind person could see the changes that had taken place in the little boy.

Faced with irrefutable proof, even the noblest head must bow!

The bigwigs all looked dejected, their expressions indescribably gloomy, as if their own mothers had died.

Seeing that his side had won a great victory, Long Wu jumped out again, approached Mr. Dan Chi, and said very impolitely, "Old man, you have good character. You can admit that you are not as good as me. We can have a match! How about it? Are you interested in sparring with me?"

Mr. Danchi was not annoyed. A glimmer of hope flashed in his cloudy eyes as he replied, "This young friend also understands alchemy?"

Long Wu was overjoyed and pointed at Xiao Chong, saying to the alchemist, "I wouldn't say I understand, but I'm a bit better than him. Didn't you see that I was the one who started the fire, added the medicine, and retrieved the pill?"

"Great!"

Mr. Danchi suddenly grabbed Long Wu and exclaimed, "Why don't we find a place to spar right now?"

"Shall we set off now?"

"Let's go!"

Amidst the incomprehensible gazes of the crowd, the two unscrupulous individuals, one old and one young, walked hand in hand, like a pair of long-lost best friends, and hurriedly departed, disappearing in an instant.

Xiao Chong was clearly used to Long Wu's behavior and didn't stop him. Instead, he turned to Zhu Gui and asked, "Did I win this match?"

"Yes... Brother Xiao won." Zhu Gui's arrogance had vanished, his face full of bitterness, and he even changed his address to the affectionate Brother Xiao.

Xiao Chong, however, was not buying it and sneered, "Enough with the nonsense! Now that I've won, shouldn't you keep your promise?"

"Wh...what promise?" Zhu Gui still wanted to play dumb.

“Naturally, we should shut down the Saint Pill Pavilion’s businesses!” Xiao Chong bluntly exposed the other party’s true colors.

"Should we discuss this again?" Zhu Gui was still unwilling to give up.

"There's nothing to discuss!" Xiao Chong knew the principle that if you don't kill the snake, there will be endless trouble, so he refused decisively.

After saying that, he turned to the Lord of Lianxin City and said eloquently, "I ask the Lord of Lianxin City to make the decision on this matter!"

Sheng Chunshui was overjoyed. Coming from a prestigious family, he knew the power of the "Life-Creating Pill" very well.

A child who cannot cultivate has almost broken through to the level of Martial Master without any foundation. Although his realm is not yet stable, he will surely make progress in time.

If children who cannot cultivate are already like this, what would happen if such pills were applied in large quantities to children with good foundations?

This "Life-Creating Pill" is simply the best catalyst for martial arts masters! Hmm, we need to get this kid on the Sheng family's bandwagon as soon as possible!

The more he thought about it, the further he went. Sheng Chunshui felt that he had found a bright path to improve the strength of his family, and said, "I, the city lord, will decide. Let's settle this matter like this."

From this day forward, the Holy Pill Pavilion will close all its properties in Refining Heart City. Xiao Chong, from now on, you are the number one alchemist in Refining Heart City. Furthermore, on behalf of the Sheng Clan, I hereby appoint you as an honorary elder. Are you willing?

The grandson wouldn't agree! Seeing that Sheng Chunshui was able to become the city lord of Lianxin City at the age of forty-something, it seems that the Sheng family's strength is even greater than that of the Heng family of Tiannan!

Having gained experience in Refining Heart City during this period, Xiao Chong realized that with his humble origins, he would find it impossible to make any progress without a powerful backer.

In a flash of inspiration, he readily agreed, saying, "Lord City Lord, your wisdom is boundless; I am deeply grateful."

"Good! Good!"

Sheng Chunshui laughed loudly, and the two villains reached a perfect agreement.

Seeing the performance of the two, all the bigwigs fell silent. They all knew that Xiao Chong was no longer a threat, and that they would have to rely on him more in the future for their pill business in Lianxin City, otherwise they would really have no way to survive.

Just as the bigwigs were pondering their next move, Sheng Chunshui seemed unsure of his own empty boasting. He laughed again and asked Xiao Chong, "I see that Master Xiao is young and promising. I wonder if he is married?"

What does this mean? Are you suggesting I be given a few beautiful concubines to warm my bed? Xiao Chong hurriedly replied, "I am not married."

"Then what do you think of my niece? She's beautiful as a flower, incredibly intelligent, and a perfect match for Master Xiao!"

Sheng Chunshui pointed at Sheng Xueyan and kept winking at Xiao Chong, as if to say that if he agreed, they could consummate their marriage tonight.

Wasn't it supposed to be a gift of beauty? How did it suddenly turn into an arranged marriage? But I yearn for free love! Xiao Chong blinked, too embarrassed to answer: "This...this..."

Fortunately, the awkward situation was quickly resolved by the other party in the marriage. Sheng Xueyan blushed and said to Sheng Chunshui, "Uncle, how can you be so indecent..."

After saying that, he ran out of the alchemy room like a gust of wind.

“This matter isn’t in such a hurry, let’s discuss it again.” Sheng Chunshui didn’t feel embarrassed at all. He smiled slightly at Xiao Chong and left with his entourage.

As the music ended and the crowd dispersed, Xiao Chong, having successfully shown off, led Fatty, Yin Feng, and Qing Meng away through the revolving door.

Seeing that the show was over and there was nothing more to see, the big shots whistled, gathered their men, and went home. Only Zhu Gui and the people from the Holy Pill Pavilion were left in the pill room, at a loss.

The Lord of Lianxin City has already spoken, and all of Saint Pill Pavilion's businesses in the city are destined to be closed. No one dares to disobey this order, not even Zhu Gui, the owner of the largest pill trading company in Lianxin City.

Life is truly full of pitfalls!

Seeing the once crowded hall suddenly empty, Zhu Gui felt utterly hopeless.

"These bastards! Didn't we agree to unite and deal with Xiao Chong together? Why did they all run away faster than rabbits when things went wrong, leaving me to take the blame all by myself!"

Zhu Gui cursed fiercely, feeling indignant and resentful.

After venting his anger, seeing that Mr. Feng and Nangong Lihuo were still inside, Zhu Gui felt a surge of warmth in his heart and said with emotion, "I am extremely grateful that you two gentlemen have stood by me through thick and thin at this critical moment. Let's go, let's pack our things and find another place to make a comeback!"

Mr. Feng and Nangong Lihuo exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Master, we're leaving too."

"Then what are you still doing here?" Zhu Gui was both surprised and angry, with a hint of confusion mixed in with his surprise and anger.

Mr. Feng and Nangong Lihuo said in unison again: "The boss still owes us two months' wages!"

Zhu Gui fell backward, looking up at the sky.
