In the eastern part of the vast Xuantian Continent, on the edge of the Gucang Mountains, Huangcheng falls, in the center of the pharmacy of the Li Family Mansion, one of the three major families.

"Li Chen, today is your last time to test the medicine. Tomorrow the third lady will take you to Xuanyun Sect and give you to one of her senior brothers as a medicine slave!"

Li Mingyun, who was supervising the medicine slaves, frowned slightly as he looked at the scarred boy under the wall, whose hands were locked in a water tank about half a person high, soaking in the pungent-smelling medicine.

Li Chen curled his neck and lowered his head. His hair covered up the flash of humiliation and unwillingness in his eyes. When he raised his head, it had turned into his usual cowardice.

Li Mingyun took out a jade bottle with an expressionless face, poured out a round and round elixir the size of his thumb, flicked it with his fingers, and the light flashed directly into Li Chen's mouth.

As soon as the elixir was taken into his mouth, veins popped up on Li Chen's face, covering most of the dark red scar on his left cheek. There was a faint flash of blood, corresponding to the bruises on his face, and his entire face was distorted, making him feel even more ferocious.

The iron chain rattled and the roar lasted for a long time before Li Chen gradually calmed down, and there was a faint milky gray cyclone above his head.

"Cyclone Tiancheng, in this barbaric land, it is rare to find a junior who has the qualifications to reach the Danxuan realm, but it is a pity that he is a waste who is born with blocked meridians and cannot condense his inner energy!"

Li Mingyun frowned slightly, his expression gloomy, as if he remembered some unpleasant past events.

But his words were extremely astonishing. You must know that the strongest person in the entire Li family is just the old man who has lived in seclusion for many years. It is rumored that he is a master of the True Realm.

Seeing how he seemed to ignore the Danxuan realm warriors above him, Li Mingyun's expression and words in the dim pharmacy suddenly seemed extremely mysterious under Li Chen's hoarse shouts and the steaming mist.

"Sir, the medicinal smell of redbud and black cloud grass is a bit strong, I must have added too much!"

More than half an hour later, Li Chen woke up slowly, his face glowing red, and the bruises on his face caused by the Third Miss's lessons had also faded a lot. He unshackled himself and walked out of the water tank.

Li Mingyun casually took out a pen and paper and took notes, then waved him off, but looked at his figure, his deep eyes full of doubts: "This guy's physique is really special. He is not afraid of the toxicity in the waste pill, and he can also temper his body. Even I can't find the problem in the past three years. If it weren't for his meridians, it would be a good choice!"

The next morning, Li Chen set foot on the territory of the Xuanyun Sect, amidst the indifference of the tribesmen who were sending Miss Li Yuerong off to Phoenix City, and the disdainful gazes of the servants.

Time flies by like a fleeting moment, and Li Chen has been staying at Xuanyun Sect for several months.

In the dim night sky, five fingers were dimly visible. In the remote mountain col of Luoyun Peak, there was a man sitting with his back against the edge of a well, with two huge wooden barrels beside him.

After squeezing his sore shoulders, Li Chen took a deep breath, braced his tired body, and put the pole on his shoulders. This was the seventh time today. Even though he had amazing physical strength, comparable to a third- and fourth-level warrior in the Inner Breath Realm, he was still exhausted.

The work in the past few months, apart from verifying whether the elixir was successful and explaining the pharmacology of failed elixirs, was cleaning the courtyard and fetching water.

If his body had not been tempered by erysipelas poison for many years, a normal person with no inner breath would probably die of exhaustion.

The loud shout full of murderous intent startled Li Chen who was about to get up. He hid behind the barrel and slightly exposed his head to look into the distance.

Under the dark night light, a pair of eyes flashed with strange eyes.

In the woods not far away, there were continuous bangs and bangs, and the sound of gold and iron was heard. The so-called night of murderous people with dark moon and high winds was a true portrayal of this time.

This place is in a remote place, covered by woods and piles of rocks, so no sound can be transmitted at all.

That is, Li Chen is here, right below, so he can hear it clearly.

After drinking tea, there was another faint scream in the distance, followed by the sound of stumbling, coming from far and near, making Li Chen's heart thump in his heart while he was hiding.

He hid here not for the sake of profit, but because he didn't want to be discovered by people who were obviously fighting among Xuanyun Sect disciples.

As his slave, any disciple can step on him. If he is discovered, the only thing waiting for him is to kill him and silence him.

Wherever there are people, there are fights. Due to facial defects since childhood and the inability to gather energy in his body, Li Chen, who is only fourteen or fifteen years old, is extremely mature in his heart and has long been used to the harshness of the world and the warmth of human relationships.

Over the past few months in the Xuanyun Sect, he had heard a lot. Apparently there was no harmony among the sect's disciples as he had imagined, and it was even more common for a number of disciples to disappear.

The rolling sound of bones made a continuous sound, driving a piece of gravel towards the mountain col.

Li Chen stared at the place where the black shadow fell, and held back a cup of tea for a long time.

Seeing that there was no more movement, Li Chen hesitated for a while, then got up and boldly approached.

Vaguely visible, two disciples in green were lying motionless among the rocks. Li Chen recognized that they were the exclusive clothes of the outer disciples.

One of them suddenly coughed several times with difficulty. He raised his head and saw Li Chen, "Help me!"

Li Chen shivered and hesitated for a while. The kind thoughts in his heart made him approach tentatively and reach out to help this person's shoulders.

A bright light flashed across Li Chen's eyes, it was the cold light of a weapon. In an instant, Li Chen's hair stood on end. His reflexes, which he had honed by being beaten many times by Miss Li Yuerong, the third daughter of the Li family, made him calm at this moment. Without hesitation, he lay back and kicked out.

There were two muffled sounds in succession, and the man was kicked away and hit into the rocks. He spat out a bloody arrow from his mouth, and the dagger with the cold light clattered down. He lay on the ground and twitched a few times without making any sound.

After taking a few deep breaths, Li Chen swallowed his saliva and looked at the man in Tsing Yi who had made no sound anymore, feeling a sense of fear in his heart.

But then, a sharp pain hit my heart, and I subconsciously looked towards my chest.

Under the left chest, blood trickled out, and a coldness suddenly covered the whole body. It was caused by excessive blood loss.

"No...I am not willing...I have...not yet become a warrior...let...let grandpa...rest in peace...close his eyes..."

There was a pop, and Li Chen's vision blurred for a while. He lay on his back and fell to the ground, muttering in his mouth, and a large amount of blood foam poured out.

It has only been a few months since I entered the Xuan Yun Sect. Although it is very difficult on weekdays, in this kind of sect, I may encounter an opportunity one day, which can release the shackles in the body, repair the inner breath like ordinary people, and fulfill Lao Li Tou's wish.

But I didn't expect that today, when I was kind-hearted, I encountered such a disaster. It really fulfilled the words that Lao Litou often said in the past - people's hearts are unpredictable!

His perseverance kept him from fainting. He turned his body forcefully and reached into the arms of the other person lying down.

Li Chen recognized that it was a low-grade breath gathering pill distributed by the outer disciples of Xuanyun Sect, but it was a pity that it was of no use to him.

Fighting back the dizziness in his heart, he reached out again and found a jade box the size of a palm. He took it out and opened it with great effort. Inside was a crystal core the size of a walnut, mottled and emitting light fluorescence.

Li Chen narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath, and looked at the demon core, the light in his eyes flickering.

Although they knew that the two would definitely compete for some kind of treasure, they never imagined that it would be the demon core.

Judging from the size of this demon core, it is clear that it belongs to a late-stage first-order demon beast. This kind of strength must be dealt with by warriors above the seventh level of the Condensation Realm.

This kind of demon core is enough to compare with several high-grade energy-gathering pills, or even dozens of them.

The Li family has been a full-time medicine slave for three years. All kinds of useless pills and completed pills, no matter what kind of medicine they are, are of no use to him except that his body is much stronger than that of ordinary warriors.

Except for the demon core, he has never seen it, let alone tried it!

But the demon core cannot be taken directly. It contains the unique demon energy of demon beasts, which is an extremely violent and destructive force.

If you take it rashly, your meridians will be torn apart by the demonic energy and your body will explode and you will die. A powerful warrior can use his cultivation to refine and eliminate the demonic energy, or he can use special means, but this is only for demonic cores whose cultivation is lower than his own. If the cultivation is equal, it is extremely difficult to succeed.

For people like Li Chen who don't even have inner breath, let alone the late-stage first-order demon core, even at the early stage, it is enough to kill him on the spot, not to mention that he is seriously injured now.

With his body getting weaker and weaker, Li Chen made a move, gritted his teeth, opened his mouth and stuffed the entire demon core into his mouth.

He swallowed it with a gulp. It was not as hard as he expected, but a cold wave ran through his body, making Li Chen shiver, and then a sharp pain spread throughout his body from his belly.

Desperately suppressing the severe pain in his body, cold sweat dripped down his whole body, Li Chen gritted his teeth and persisted. He stood up and sat cross-legged on the ground, holding his hands on his Dantian, and started the "Rongyang Jue", an advanced skill of the Li family that he had mastered over the past three years.

This was when he first became a medicine slave, and he had reached the point of condensing his inner energy in just over a month. The senior management of the Li family specially gave it to him in order to win over him, and even intended to get married. However, he turned out to be a waste body that could not condense his inner energy.

The energy and blood in his body surged, and he spit out three blood arrows in succession. The pain was like tearing apart the soul. Even though Li Chen had suffered from three years of body refining with waste elixirs, he almost couldn't bear it and lost his skills.

Fortunately, his will had been tempered to be extremely strong, and he managed to hold on. However, the wound on his left chest, stirred by the violent demonic power, immediately spurted out a cloud of blood mist.

His face was covered with bulging veins, his eyes were wide open and full of bloodshot eyes. Li Chen felt that his whole body was about to explode. No one could see it. The ugly scar on his left cheek suddenly flashed with a frightening dark red blood.
