Chapter 300: Lian Yingxiao Gu Dongchen looked at Shen Xiang's proud expression and secretly groaned in his heart. Shen Xiang had sold him forty Foundation Establishment Pills before. This was the first time in Gu Dongchen's history that he could buy so many at once. In the past, he only bought one or a few pills, so he believed that Shen Xiang had a lot of materials to refine Foundation Establishment Pills.
As the headmaster of Taiwu Sect, it was his important responsibility to develop Taiwu Sect. In order to rapidly improve the strength of his disciples, he had to rely on elixirs. Although there were many disciples in Taiwu Sect, there were very few who were at the True Martial Realm. If he had a large number of foundation-building elixirs, he could enable a group of potential mortals of the tenth level to enter the True Martial Realm in a short period of time.
"Junior Master, do you still have Foundation Establishment Pills?" Gu Dongchen asked.
"No more. I'll come to you someday." Of course Shen Xiang still had some, but not much, and he wouldn't get much more if he sold it to Gu Dongchen now.
"Lian Yingxiao and his son are here. This guy must be here to show off." Wu Kaiming suddenly said. Shen Xiang was also there, feeling the breath coming from Lian Yingxiao.
Shen Xiang had previously thought that Lian Mingdong and Lian Yingxiao had some relationship, and that they were most likely father and son. Now that he heard that Lian Yingxiao came with his son, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Who is his son? Is he powerful?" Shen Xiang asked.
"He is at the fifth stage of the Zhenwu Realm and is an alchemist. He is not as low-key as his father, but rather a proud fellow. He was born to Lian Yingxiao's seventh woman a hundred years ago. Among Lian Yingxiao's many children, his aptitude is considered to be top-notch." Gu Dongchen said immediately.

Chen Xiang said in surprise: "How many women does Lian Yingxiao have? He can walk around the streets with his son, but you two are still single! You are so useless! Uncle Master, I already have a wife now."
Lian Yingxiao, who looks gentle and elegant, actually has so many women. Shen Xiang now suspects that Lian Mingdong is not valued in Lotus Island, but Lian Mingdong and Lian Yingxiao have similar personalities, which shows that Lian Mingdong inherited more of his father's blood.
"Lian Yingxiao had more than a dozen women, but now there are only nine. The others are either dead or have cheated on them and run away with others!" Gu Dongchen said with a smile, "Little Master, don't underestimate me. My women are just not in Chenwu Continent anymore. They are from other continents and may come here in a while."
The other continents were all outside the distant sea, and Shen Xiang also wanted to have a chance to travel to those places. He looked at Wu Kaiming and asked with a smile: "Little Bald Head, what about you?"
Wu Kaiming curled his lips and said, "I'm an old man now, what do I need a woman for?"
Lian Yingxiao arrived, followed by a handsome man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes and a proud expression. This man was Lian Yingxiao's beloved son, named Lian Changyun.
This son is really precious. When Lian Yingxiao went to the southern wilderness, he did not send him. He just glanced at Lian Changyun indifferently and saluted Lian Yingxiao respectfully.
"Chang Yun, this is the Taiwu Sect's strongest young man, the youngest alchemist, Shen Xiang. You must have heard of his name. Come and get to know him." Lian Yingxiao said with a smile.
Shen Xiang was very famous, and almost all warriors in the entire Chenwu Continent had heard of his name. He was a true young genius, which made Lian Changyun secretly jealous, because he relied on his father to become famous, while Shen Xiang relied on no one. Not only did he have a resounding name, he also won the favor of Xue Xianxian from the Divine Weapon Kingdom and became her husband. This was what made him most jealous.
Lian Changyun also inherited his father's romantic character. He once went to the Divine Weapon Kingdom with Lian Yingxiao and met Xue Xianxian. At that time, he was very attracted to this fairy-like girl, but he was unexpectedly told that she was already engaged to Shen Xiang.
Although Lian Changyun met Shen Xiang for the first time, he hated Shen Xiang very much. However, in order not to embarrass his father, he still greeted him politely.
"Shen Xiang, I heard that you like gambling very much, either through gambling battles or through alchemy. I wonder if you are willing to bet with me? How about we decide the winner in an alchemy competition?" Lian Changyun asked. Although he had a smile on his face, his tone was full of provocation.
Shen Xiang shook his head, which made Lian Changyun's face change: "Do you look down on people?"
Gu Dongchen and the others ignored the matter between young people and just watched the show from the side. Lian Yingxiao was very unhappy when he saw Shen Xiang refuse. Last time he gave Shen Xiang a white jade lotus seed, but now he was so disrespectful to him.
"Are you afraid that I can't afford the bet? How about I bet with you a white jade lotus seed?" Lian Changyun said lightly, with a proud look on his face, as if he thought it was great that he owned a white jade lotus seed.
Lian Yingxiao did not tell anyone about what happened in the Southern Wilderness, and he also ordered other disciples not to tell anyone about it, so Lian Chang Yun did not know about it.
"Boy, can you please give me some face? Those are white jade lotus seeds. If you can't afford the bet, my junior brother and I will help you pay for it." Gu Dongchen didn't know what was wrong with Shen Xiang. He didn't want to play with such a big bet, and he didn't want Shen Xiang to be hated by Lian Yingxiao.
Shen Xiang sighed in his heart, and asked kindly: "What level of alchemy competition did Brother Lian participate in?"
"Of course it's the intermediate level. For someone of my age, it's already good enough to be able to participate in the intermediate level competition! You are also an outstanding young alchemist. How about letting me compete with you?" Lian Changyun said. He really wanted to defeat Shen Xiang and vent his anger.
Chen Xiang smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Brother Lian. It's not that I don't want to compete with Brother Lian in the alchemy competition, but... it's just that I'm participating in a high-level competition!"
Advanced competition! Gu Dongchen, Wu Kaiming and Lian Yingxiao were all shocked. Only fifth and sixth stage alchemists can participate in the advanced competition. In this case, could it be that Shen Xiang is a fifth stage alchemist?
"Impossible, Shen Xiang, don't reject my challenge with one reason. A fifth-stage alchemist needs to refine at least three Xuan-grade lower-grade pills. It requires countless medicinal materials and continuous attempts to succeed in one. If it is three, it will be even more difficult. How is it possible that you can refine three Xuan-grade lower-grade pills in your twenties? My master is considered a genius. He became a fifth-stage alchemist when he was two hundred years old." Lian Changyun was immediately furious and said loudly.
"Alas!" Shen Xiang sighed, then took out a jade plate with five faint golden patterns on it. This was indeed the certificate of a low-level fifth-stage alchemist. Shen Xiang's name was also written on it, and there were some words carved in blood on the back. Those were the signatures of the alchemist who was supervising him.
Gu Dongchen was the first to take a look. When he saw the four signatures, he frowned and said, "Hua Xiangyue is the one who is invigilating you personally. As far as I know, Hua Xiangyue is an eighth-level alchemist. The other three alchemists are also quite famous. They have all helped me refine pills before. This sign should be real."
Lian Yingxiao was stunned, and Lian Changyun's face turned red. Just now he kept saying that Shen Xiang was lying to him, but now Shen Xiang produced the most powerful evidence, which made him so ashamed that he wanted to find a hole to crawl into, and at the same time made him hate Shen Xiang even more.
Lian Yingxiao took the jade token from Gu Dongchen and knew it was real at first sight. He didn't expect Shen Xiang to be so monstrous that he was already a fifth-level alchemist at the age of less than 30!
