The Strongest Sect of All Times

I alone am enough. 

Ye Xingchen’s words were very casual, but they were very arrogant — worthy of the title of the previous generation's Night Emperor!

He had not integrated with the Ironbone Sect, nor did he treat himself as a true disciple, but his previous outlook had been subverted by the various skill books and pills.

The Ironbone Sect was not simple!

The Sect Head definitely still had many good things hidden, so he had to quickly prove himself and gain more resources!

At this point, even if someone came with an eight-person palanquin to invite our Sir Night Emperor to leave the Ironbone Sect, he would definitely cling to the pillars and refuse to leave. 

“Handle a sixth-grade sect by yourself?” Jun Changxiao asked. “So confident?”

With a deep voice, Ye Xingchen said, “As long as they are a Vast Spirit Gate disciple, regardless of whether they are inner court or direct disciples, I will beat whoever comes. If I cannot, I’ll spell my name backwards!”

“Chen Xingye.”

Jun Changxiao stroked his chin, commenting, “It’s not bad.”

Chen Xingye: “……”

As long as they were a Vast Spirit Gate disciple. 

Ye Xingchen’s words were very smart. It meant that in a month, he could act arrogant before the sixth-grade sect disciples, but was unable to face any of the higher-ups. 

There was nothing he could do about that; time was limited. 

He was confident in beating all of the disciples, but beating the elders of a sixth-grade sect would need some more cultivation. 

“Alright.”

Jun Changxiao patted his thigh, deciding, “When we wreck Vast Spirit Gate, you will be the main DPS. Perform well; if you can’t make them lose HP, just wait for a punishment.”

Main DPS? Lose HP? 

Although Ye Xingchen could not understand, based on the existence of a penalty, he could guess that this was an order to be as domineering as possible. 

Vast Spirit Gate. 

Whether or not this Emperor can obtain martial resources from this brat depends entirely on you!

“Heeheeheeheehee!”

Ye Xingchen’s room echoed with strange and dark laughter. 

This sound seemed to pass through the endless void, flowing into the ears of the Vast Spirit Gate disciples, who could not help but shiver. 

“This damn weather, why did it get cold all of a sudden?”

…

Jun Changxiao called all the inner court disciples together the next day, starting a new round of hellish training — the length was 20 days!

Since they were going to wreck a sect, it was definitely not something for Ye Xingchen alone. 

He did not let Zhou Hong participate, first because his cultivation path was different, and second because he was such a domineering talent — how could he use a sledgehammer to fight mobs?

A year later, Holy Spring Mountain would be his stage. 

Because their physical bodies had been tempered to the cultivation limit, Li Qingyang and the others focused on raising their spirit power. 

The Qi Gathering Array was open for 24 hours, the Qi Gathering Pills was endless. 

This resource-rich training was a little scary, since even a fifth-grade sect might not be able to achieve it to such a degree. 

“There’s still more than 200 contribution points, so let’s first buy Zuiji and Xingchen a bottle of Aptitude Transformation Fluid each.”

Jun Changxiao opened the {Purchased Items} list. 

[Ding! Host has spent 100 contribution points, obtaining Aptitude Transformation Fluid x2. The items have been transported to the storage ring.]

[Ding! Sect Contribution: 110/500.]

After Xiao Zuiji and Ye Xingchen took them, their spirit roots reached high-grade, driving their cultivation up. The former broke through to Meridian Opening Stage Eleven, the latter broke through from Second Stage Martial Apprentice to Third Stage. 

He would also give some to Su Xiaomo and the others.

But this sect crashing would inevitably be a fierce battle. 

Therefore, it was best to strengthen the battle-efficient Xiao Zuiji and Ye Xingchen first, in order to better resist the Vast Spirit Gate’s outstanding disciples. 

Jun Changxiao obviously would not be idling during this time. Not only did he practice the Tendon Altering Sutra, he also studied the First Word: Quick Move. 

Even if this sword art was only comprehended to 10%, it would be much stronger than the Nine Moves Layered Waves Sword. 

Moreover, Jun Changxiao did not believe that this martial exchange with the Vast Spirit Gate would stay between the disciples. 

When the time came, if Qin Haoran sent an elder or personally came on stage, his own strength had to be up to par. 

On the smaller training field, Zhou Hong was still comprehending the sword. 

In a forested area somewhere farther, Ye Xingchen was dejectedly using a tree branch to practice the First Word: Quick Move. 

…

Huyang City, Ai Family.

Ai Shangni looked for the outstanding disciples of the family to take the Body Reconstruction Pill. After a small test, he discovered that both the physical body and overall strength had been remarkably enhanced. 

“Patriarch, Third Stage Martial Apprentice Little Ting’s strength increased by 1000 jin after taking the medicine. That’s terrifying!” Ai Shangke exclaimed. 

After all, the healing pill could only be used for healing. On Falling Star Continent, the most important thing was the Martial Way. The Body Reconstructing Pill could temper the body and improve strength — absolutely strong!

Ai Shangni tamped down on his excitement, his eyes becoming serious. “Shangke, Sect Head Jun is an esteemed alchemist! If his Body Reconstructing Pills are promoted, they will cause more of a stir than the healing pills!”

Ai Shangke knit his brows. “Patriarch, if our Ai Family sells this pill, we may draw attention from major influences.”

“That is why I am considering how to auction these in order to avoid the eyes of those influences harboring ulterior motives,” Ai Shangni responded. 

He thought for a while, then tapped his chin. “We can ask an expert from the Azure Mountain Sect to supervise the auction.”

“Great idea!” Ai Shangke approved the idea. 

Although the Azure Mountain Sect was not an apex sect by grade, it was still recognized as one of the famous orthodox sects and held considerably high prestige within Jianghu. Asking them to personally supervise the auction would definitely shock the powers with undue ideas. 

Of course. 

They would have to spend money to invite someone over. 

…

The Ai Family successfully connected with the Azure Mountain Sect, using an acceptable price to invite a peak Martial Ancestor elder over, then released news of the ‘Molding Pill’. 

It went without saying that they told the world they had refined it themselves. After all, Jun Changxiao did not like to appear in public.

“Can strengthen the physical body, an alchemical pill that can improve strength?”

When the news spread to Qingyang Commandery, the martial artists first responded with that question. 

However, thinking back to how they had been face-slapped by the Healing Pill, these doubts quickly disappeared. Many families and sects slowly started to carefully collect information. 

In the end, it was confirmed that the Ai Family had a Body Reconstructing Pill, but would be auctioning them, and so people began to arrange funds. 

A pill that could strengthen the body and improve the muscles was something more attractive than the healing pill. After all, that meant an absolute increase in power!

Regarding the auction of the Body Reconstructing Pill, Jun Changxiao received the information and was quite anticipating how much the pills would sell for under the Ai Family’s hard work. 

But it was merely anticipation, as he would not attend, continuing to be low-key and develop the sect.

…

The disciples cultivated like a raging fire; time continued to flow. 

Ten days later, Elder Wei reported, “Sect Head, the herbs that you asked for earlier have already matured and can be used for alchemy.”

“Really?” Jun Changxiao was ecstatic. 

Elder Wei planted many of the ingredients needed for the Qi gathering Pill. After cautiously collecting them, he had more than 300 sets. 

He did not let anyone else help, worrying that reckless activity would destroy the spiritual energy in the herbs. 

“Sect Head.”

After handing the herbs to Jun Changxiao, Elder Wei seriously stated, “It is best to refine these herbs as soon as possible. Otherwise, even if you store them in a storage ring, their efficacy will decline.”

Depositing them in the storage ring would isolate them from the outside world, so the loss of efficacy was usually negligible. 

But it was easy to see that Elder Wei pursued a harsh path of total efficacy, further showing that he was not some ordinary apothecary. 

“This Lord will start to refine them today and should be able to finish completely tomorrow.”

Jun Changxiao was very low-key and did not say that he could handle it within a few dozens of minutes. 

[Ding! Ding! Ding!]

In the study room, the sounds of alchemy echoed in Jun Changxiao’s ears. 

Speaking of, it was quite strange. The more than 300 Qi Gathering Pills took nearly two hours, which was longer than the Qi Revolving Pill. 

Jun Changxiao wondered aloud, “Why is that?”

The system said, [Efficacy of the ingredients decides pill quality, quality decides refinement speed.]

“You mean to say,” Jun Changxiao concluded, “That the efficacy of the herbs planted by Elder Wei is very high, so the quality of the Qi Gathering Pills is also high?”

[Correct.]

When the host was rational, used his few brain cells, the system would never talk back.
