"You beast!"
After killing Qi Yuanshan with a single palm, Sima Rui still wasn't satisfied and continued to curse.
He had spent an unknown amount of money to poach Qi Yuanshan from the Qin Family.
This scoundrel, not only did he not refine Medicinal Pills properly in the Sima Family, but now he even had designs on his own woman.
Thinking of this, Sima Rui wished he could cut Qi Yuanshan into a thousand pieces.
But as his anger gradually subsided, a chill rose from his back.
"Although Qi Yuanshan is lustful, he wouldn't be so desperate, would he?"
Something is strange!
Sima Rui frowned.
Qin Xuan had only left the Sima Family a short while ago, so why would Qi Yuanshan suddenly go mad?
Could it be Qin Xuan?
With suspicion rising, Sima Rui quickly examined Qi Yuanshan, and then found a Spirit Transformation Pill and a Blood Fusion Pill on him.
Putting the two Medicinal Pills together, Sima Rui quickly smelled a fragrance.
"This is..."
Sima Rui's expression changed drastically after just one sniff.
This fragrance was actually some kind of aphrodisiac poison!
"This... if it were direct poisoning, with our attainments, it would be impossible not to notice. How did this poison appear?"
Forcing out the aphrodisiac poison with Spiritual Qi, Sima Rui then looked at the two Medicinal Pills. After a long while, he angrily smashed them!
"Bastard!"
Qin Xuan had actually put the aphrodisiac poison into the two Medicinal Pills separately.
If there was only one type of Medicinal Pill, nothing would have happened at all.
But if the two Medicinal Pills were put together, the ingredients in them would form this aphrodisiac poison.
"What a cunning brat, to use such a method!"
Annoyed for a long time, Sima Rui could only stare angrily at Qi Yuanshan's body, which was gradually cooling on the ground.
"It's over, it's all over!"
Without Qi Yuanshan, the Sima Family was already at a disadvantage, and now, the Sima Family was completely finished.
"It seems I can only ask Yang'er to come back for a while. Yang'er has been studying the Dao of Alchemy for several years, and if he returns, he will definitely be able to reverse this situation."
Sima Yang, Sima Rui's third son, was noticed by a Three-Rank Alchemist from Xuanlong City several years ago due to his talent in Alchemy and was taken to Xuanlong City to study Alchemy. He hadn't returned for several years.
Sima Rui originally didn't want to disturb him, but now that the Sima Family had been suppressed to such an extent by the Qin Family, he had no choice but to call his third son back.
"However, if that matter is handled well, perhaps it won't be so troublesome."
As Sima Rui wrote to Sima Yang, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he let out a sinister sneer.
......
Returning to the Medicine Refining Workshop, Qin Xuan informed the several stewards of his plan.
Hearing this, the stewards all burst into laughter.
"The Sima Family wanted to poach someone, but they almost got cuckolded themselves. How ridiculous!"
"Indeed, after this, I'm afraid those families won't dare to poach people casually."
The stewards discussed animatedly, and then one of them frowned.
"Young Clan Leader, is it really necessary to do this? With the strength of our Qin Family, annihilating the Sima Family wouldn't be much of a problem, would it? We could just crush them with force."
In his opinion, the Sima Family was just an Alchemy Family with average combat power, and could be directly eliminated without wasting any time.
"Although the Qin Family is the largest force in Fire Wind City, some things cannot be done that way!"
Qin Xuan shook his head.
The reason Qin Xuan dared to dig up the Liu Family's ancestral grave was because the Liu Family breached the contract first, and then failed to repay their debt.
Acting this way, morality was on his side.
The Li Family was the same.
The Li Family couldn't afford to lose and wanted to attack Qin Xuan. Strictly speaking, the Qin Family could even be considered self-defense, merely to protect the Young Clan Leader.
Now, with the Sima Family, the Qin Family had not yet torn off all pretenses; it was merely a commercial war between them.
If they annihilated an entire Family just because their people were poached, that would break the rules!
"Even if you are the strongest, some things still need to be done according to the rules. If you break the rules first, others might unite against you because of it!"
The Qin Family was a hegemon in Fire Wind City, but there were also many powerful families in nearby cities, many of whom, like the Qin Family, had connections with Profound Dragon Dao and even some major families in the capital.
"Therefore, everything must have a just cause. Even if there isn't one, you have to find one. That's the rule!"
Therefore, Qin Xuan never used force against the Sima Family from beginning to end.
It was enough to use the Sima Family's hands to kill Qi Yuanshan.
Hearing this, the stewards suddenly understood.
"Next, everyone, fully promote the Blood Fusion Pill. This Medicinal Pill is more powerful than previous Medicinal Pills, whether for healing injuries or improving cultivation!"
Over the next few days, things indeed unfolded as Qin Xuan had expected.
Relying on the Blood Fusion Pill, the Qin Family's Medicine Refining Workshop already held the upper hand.
Now that Qi Yuanshan had been eliminated by the Sima Family, they naturally had even less power to resist.
This way, Qin Xuan could focus on Cultivating.
......
"Whoosh!"
In the Qin Family's backyard, Qin Xuan held the Wu Feng Sword and continuously slashed forward with great force.
The Wu Feng Sword was heavy and powerful, and each slash produced a series of whooshing sounds.
The Azure Dragon Nine Slashes has nine stances in total, but currently, Qin Xuan had only learned the first three.
Given his current physical condition, the latter six stances were simply too overbearing and difficult to control for now, so he could only learn the first three first.
However, even so, Qin Xuan could feel the power of the Azure Dragon Nine Slashes.
"Hidden Dragon in the Abyss," "Dragon Appearing in the Field," and "Vigilant Dragon Without Blame" were the names of the first three stances of the Azure Dragon Nine Slashes.
Although the first three stances were not the most powerful moves of the Azure Dragon Nine Slashes, with his current cultivation, they were sufficient to deal with Cultivators in the Rookie Realm.
Coupled with the immense Spiritual Qi contained within his golden Dantian, even against a Peak Rookie Realm, Qin Xuan had the strength to fight using these three moves.
Qin Xuan gripped the Wu Feng Sword tightly, continuously slashing forward with force.
From sunrise to sunset, Qin Xuan held the sword, continuously swinging and slashing according to the requirements of the Azure Dragon Nine Slashes.
Sweat soaked his clothes, then was dried by his body heat.
Qin Xuan, as if oblivious, continued to swing his sword.
After a while, Qin Xuan stopped and walked to the bathtub.
At this moment, the bathtub was full of Spirit Beast essence blood and various Medicinal Materials.
Looking at the bathtub, Qin Xuan's mouth also twitched.
During his three hundred years in the Tian Tomb, every time he helped the Xuanji Empress heal, she would prepare a medicinal bath for him to recover quickly.
"Truly, if it weren't for these Medicinal Materials and beast blood, I'm afraid I would have collapsed long ago."
Thinking of this, Qin Xuan felt some resistance.
However, after a while, he still entered the bathtub.
After all, improving his strength was the key now.
The Spirit Beast essence blood and Medicinal Materials in this bathtub were procured for Qin Xuan by several Elders of the Qin Family.
For the past few days, Qin Xuan had been using this method to train his Physical Body.
As the medicinal properties in the bathtub continuously flowed into Qin Xuan's body, Qin Xuan let out a comfortable sigh.
After each training session, the muscles and Meridians of the Physical Body were in a 'hungry' state, and if a medicinal bath was taken at this time, the Physical Body could absorb these precious medicinal properties in large quantities.
Normally, a medicinal bath could not only absorb the medicinal properties from the Medicinal Materials but also expel Impurities from the body. However, his Physical Body had already been refined by the Refining God Cauldron, so it could be said to be pure and flawless.
Moreover, when the Xuanji Empress reshaped his Physical Body, she also added Chaos Qi, making his Physical Body naturally close to the Great Dao, and his Cultivation speed would far exceed that of other Cultivators.
Qin Xuan pondered.
If he could absorb more Chaos Qi, he might have a chance to become a Chaotic Body.
The Chaotic Body, this was a legendary physique, born with incredibly fast Cultivation speed, truly a Prodigy.
Aside from a few other similarly monstrous physiques like the Innate Dao Body, Overlord Body, and Saint Body, the Chaotic Body could be said to be invincible in the world.
Only by finding the Chaos Source Qi and using it to reshape the Physical Body can one form an Acquired Chaotic Body later on.
Therefore, to become a Chaotic Body, one must first find the Chaos Source Qi.
Chaos Source Qi!
If I find this Chaos Source Qi and refine it into my body with the Refining God Cauldron...
Then Qin Xuan would have a chance to become a Chaotic Body.
However, the premise was that he could actually find the Chaos Source Qi, after all, it was a precious Source Qi left from the beginning of heaven and earth, extremely rare in the world.
An hour later, Qin Xuan finally got up, looking at the bathtub that had become clear again.
Changing into a fresh set of clothes, Qin Xuan was about to continue Cultivating when he suddenly frowned and looked outside the small courtyard.
A blood-soaked attendant was being helped along, passing by the entrance of the small courtyard.
"What happened? Why are you so badly injured?"
Qin Xuan asked with a frown.
Seeing that it was Qin Xuan, the several guards quickly bowed.
"Reporting to Young Clan Leader, this is a guard from our Qin Family responsible for escorting Medicinal Herbs from the Medicine Garden. Our convoy transporting Medicinal Materials was attacked on the road. After a desperate struggle, only a few survived and ran back to report."
