Supreme of Seven Realms

Wang Xinhe didn't say a word as he sat on his seat. Two pairs of thick eyebrows were tightly knitted together. Below him were several elders and a young martial artist.    

This young warrior was undoubtedly Wang Teng.    

"Patriarch, I think the Li Family is nothing more than empty air. How prestigious is a Tier 4 pill refiner? Is it even possible for the Li Family to invite him?"    

"Exactly, I think the Li Family knew that there would be no survivors this time around, so they came up with this idea to stall for time."    

"Hmm, I think so too. Our Wang Clan has a genuine fourth-grade Grandmaster Pill Refiner. As long as he shows his face, he will be able to expose the tricks of the Li Clan."    

The few elders had all agreed, but Wang Xinhe still had a worried look on his face because a tier four pill refiner was too big for them. If they failed, not only would they not be able to destroy the Li family, but the Wang family would also suffer.    

Furthermore, the Wang Clan's fourth-grade Grandmaster Alchemy was a Qi Tian Sect Master. Even the Sect Master had to be polite with him. Why would he help the Wang Clan?    

Being able to come to the Wang Clan was also due to the face of the Sect Leader of the Heaven's Expanse School, and to increase Wang Teng's reputation.    

"Father, what the elders said is not without reason. However, for the sake of safety, I will go beg Old Qin and let him think of a way to expose us."    

Hearing Wang Teng's words, Wang Xinhe's eyes lit up as he hurriedly said, "Okay, Teng'er, I will leave this matter to you."    

In the meeting hall of the Li Family, everyone was looking at Li Yiran.    

The Li family elders continued to berate him.    

"Yiru, how can you act arbitrarily? Don't you know how valuable a grade-4 apothecary is? How could the Wang Clan not know that we are deceiving them? "    

"Exactly, you don't need to spread the news even if you don't want to marry Wang Teng. If it angers everyone, our Lee family's reputation will be ruined."    

"Also, there is a true fourth-grade Grandmaster in the Wang Clan. He will surely be able to see through your lies. At that time, as long as the Wang Clan uses them to their advantage, it would be natural for them to destroy our Li Clan."    

They looked at Li Yiru as if she was a jinx, and all of them were saying that she was wrong. They felt that right now, there was only one way, and that was for Li Yiru to agree to marry Wang Teng.    

Li Tian Hao looked at his daughter who had not spoken a single word, his heart was filled with anxiety.    

He sighed and said, "Yiru, what happened?"    

He wouldn't believe that his own daughter intentionally released the news because she didn't want to marry Wang Teng, because he knew that his own daughter didn't.    

If she was trying to protect the Li family, it would still be alright. She was just using the name of a tier four alchemist to scare people off. This would definitely arouse the displeasure of others.    

"I... "I …"    

Faced with criticism and questioning, Li Yiran stammered.    

When Ling Tianyu told him to spread the news, he naturally told her not to spread it. He was only repaying Li Yiru for saving his life, and didn't want to get involved with the Li family.    

Although Li Yiru did not know what Ling Tianyu's intentions were, she was not so stupid as to reveal them to him.    

"Dad, I'm not making this up. You'll know when the time comes."    

Towards Ling Tianyu, Li Yi seemed to have a blind confidence in him. She didn't know why.    

After saying this, Li Yiru walked out of the meeting hall.    

"Patriarch, this is too outrageous. If this continues, the Li family will be swallowed by the Wang family sooner or later."    

"That's right, Patriarch. I think we should agree to the Wang Clan's request and send someone to contact Xiao Qiong."    

After Li Yiran left, a few elders used both the hard and the soft way to make Li Tianhao compromise. But this time, Li Tianhao seemed to have wavered a little.    

After all, the clan's benefits outweighed everything else. However, Li Yiru was his daughter after all, so he didn't make a decision immediately.    

A day later, the news of the Li family having a fourth tier apothecary in charge had spread throughout the entire Hengzhou City.    

The Wang Clan made their move. They did not come directly to the Li Clan, but instead, resorted to force.    

In the world of martial artists, the medicine market was the main source of profit for merchants.    

Therefore, the Wang and Li Families both had their own marketplaces that mainly focused on elixirs and elixirs.    

However, due to the lack of success in the Martial Dao of the Wu Province, both clans didn't have any Tier 4 pill refiners. Thus, they mainly used spiritual herbs and pills of Tier 3 or lower tier.    

And today, the Wang Clan's Medicinal Pills Market actually had the news of a Tier 4 pill being sold.    

"What?" Are you serious about forging a grade-4 pill? "    

"Un, hurry up. I heard that the price of this grade-4 pill is similar to that of a 9-star grade-3 pill."    

"What? He's selling a lot of 3-star grade-4 pills. Hopefully, we'll be able to buy one in time."    

The moment the news spread, all the large and small families started to get excited. This was because the item was very good and cheap. The price of a 9-star grade three pellet was only two Spirit Crystals, ah.    

Of course, the South Continent was rich in materials and dense in spirit energy, so the production of spirit crystals was much higher than the East Continent.    

However, the star level of a pill was a new name. It was a unit for martial artists to differentiate between pills and strength.    

For example, every grade pill was divided into one star to ten stars. One star was the most ordinary and ten stars were the most advanced grade.    

Thus, pills were generally regarded as one to nine stars, ten stars was just a theory.    

Martial arts strength was far from being limited to just 10 stars, because there were many martial artists that could jump ranks and fight.    

However, for a normal martial artist, a large boundary could be divided into 1-10 stars, but for martial artists that could fight those that could jump realms, their combat strength could break through, surpassing 10 stars.    

Thus, according to the best theory, the maximum combat strength of a fighter of the same level is 20 stars.    

Take the Qi Resisting Realm for example. You have just stepped into the Qi Resisting Realm, so you should have the combat power of a 1-star Qi Resisting Realm. When you reach the pinnacle of the Qi Resisting Realm, your fighting power would only be 3-star.    

When you reached the pinnacle of the Late Qi Resisting Realm, you would have already achieved the battle prowess of a 9-star warrior. When you reached the peak of the Qi Resisting Realm, you would have reached the battle prowess of a 10-star.    

However, for people like Ling Tianyu, although he was only in the Qi Manipulation Realm and should only have a battle power of 4-star or 5-star, he had comprehended five sword Qis, and in addition to that, he had a Grade Nine Martial Veins.    

Thus, based on his battle prowess, he was able to surpass his cultivation realm and defeat a cultivator at the early stage of the Nascent Soul Stage. His true battle prowess had already reached the level of an eleven star expert.    

Therefore, cultivation isn't a standard measure of strength, only star levels are.    

The Wang Clan's pill shop was suddenly overcrowded, and the Li Clan's courtyard instantly turned cold.    

Of course, what the Wang Clan was doing was not to suppress the Li Clan's market, but to force out the so-called Grade Four Alchemist.    

They believed that as long as they released the grade four medicinal pills, the Li family would surely take action.    

The pill refiners had a prideful temper. As long as they were challenged, they would not remain unknown. If the other party did not take any actions, everyone would know that there were no Tier 4 pill refiners in the Li family.
