Third update, seeking subscriptions and monthly votes~~~~...

"Hmph... I'll make you regret the choice you made today!!"

Chen Zhi's aura became extraordinarily terrifying, his venomous gaze was as sinister as that of a viper, staring intently at Qin Fang... He firmly declared, with killing intent evident and without any disguise.

At this moment, Chen Zhi no longer cared about Qin Fang's background…

No matter if Qin Fang came from those extremely terrifying thousand-year sects, he had to kill Qin Fang… Such an incredibly talented enemy, if allowed to survive and leave, would be the most terrifying enemy of the Chen Family and even the Six Major Chinese Clans!

Such an enemy must never be allowed to grow…

Therefore, even knowing it might cause significant repercussions, Chen Zhi had to make this decision!

As he spoke, Chen Zhi's aura became exceptionally terrifying, and he displayed his full strength without reservation, his clothes fluttering without wind, while the dust around his body trembled mysteriously…

This was the terrifying aspect of a Grandmaster-level expert!

In contrast, Qin Fang's side was much calmer. Qin Fang's face did not show much worry, and his smile remained radiant…

"Originally, this Azure Dragon Pill was meant for dealing with Vincent… but unexpectedly, the strength of a Great Grandmaster exceeded my expectations, so I'll have to use it on you!"

Qin Fang remained very composed, looking at the agitated Chen Zhi who seemed ready to strike at any moment. He leisurely took out a black pill from his pocket and said.

Almost as soon as the pill was taken out, a peculiar fragrance spread, instantly causing one's mind to tremble.

"Azure Dragon Pill!"

When this pill appeared, Chen Zhi's expression immediately changed dramatically as he exclaimed, and his aura became even more agitated, almost causing him to pounce on the opponent.

The Azure Dragon Pill, a superb spirit pill, was an exquisite elixir needed by Grandmaster-level experts to break through to the Supreme Realm… Although consuming the Azure Dragon Pill would not guarantee entry into the Supreme Realm, it would at least increase the success rate tenfold compared to relying on one's own breakthrough.

If Chen Zhi originally had only a one percent chance of breaking into the Supreme Realm, then consuming the Azure Dragon Pill would increase it to ten percent…

If Chen Zhi was incredibly talented, with a ten percent chance of breaking into the Supreme Realm, then consuming the Azure Dragon Pill would grant him a ninety-nine percent chance of breaking into the Supreme Realm… though a complete hundred percent is impossible, as there are always some unexpected variables.

However, in any case, the potent effect of the Azure Dragon Pill was extremely powerful… This caused many Grandmaster-level experts to go mad trying to obtain it.

Unfortunately, refining the Azure Dragon Pill required at least three high-grade spiritual medicines, and in this age of scarce spiritual medicines, even well-established thousand-year sects couldn't afford such extravagant profligacy.

Therefore, the Azure Dragon Pill had nearly disappeared, possibly being found only in ancient secret locations.

The Six Major Chinese Clans learned of the secret of this underground palace, which had existed for countless years, and there was a great possibility of the Azure Dragon Pill, or even the superior Feathered God Pill, appearing… So the Six Major Families went all out.

Chen Zhi was eager to rush into the underground palace because he obtained the Gestation Spirit Pill and wanted to acquire the Azure Dragon Pill and Feathered God Pill…

However, he fought his way from the first level to the seventh, but didn't even find a single hair of an elixir, which frustrated him greatly.

He finally discovered the treasure on the seventh level, but before he could obtain it, Qin Fang showed up… What frustrated him the most was that Qin Fang actually possessed an Azure Dragon Pill!

To seize it was naturally Chen Zhi's first thought.

However, seeing Qin Fang holding the Azure Dragon Pill, he didn't dare to act rashly… Qin Fang only needed to apply a little force, and the Azure Dragon Pill would be crushed. Though a crushed Azure Dragon Pill still had a decent effect, it was nothing compared to a complete one.

Chen Zhi wanted to use the Azure Dragon Pill to break through to the Supreme Realm, so he had to obtain the most complete Azure Dragon Pill… thus, he couldn't act recklessly!

"Young man, as long as you give me the Azure Dragon Pill, I can spare your life… I may even give you this treasure!"

After a moment of silence, Chen Zhi restrained his aura and spoke in a rather calm tone.

With a simple flick of his palm, the brocade box placed there automatically fell into his hand. At this moment, Chen Zhi didn't even bother to open the box to see the treasure inside, he just took it out to negotiate with Qin Fang.

"Hmph, once I have the Azure Dragon Pill, the first thing I'll do is eliminate you… The treasure will still end up in my hands!"

Of course, this was naturally Chen Zhi's plan in his heart!

The treasure was already in his hands, and he had an absolute advantage over Qin Fang. If not for the consideration of the Azure Dragon Pill, he would have already attacked Qin Fang… How could he be so polite in negotiating?

"Really?"

Upon hearing Chen Zhi's words and glancing at the brocade box in Chen Zhi's hand, Qin Fang seemed somewhat moved and reflexively asked.

"Is it really true..."

Chen Zhi spoke with great "sincerity," and as if to showcase his "genuine intent," he flicked his wrist, causing the brocade box to land a meter in front of Qin Fang... Qin Fang only needed to take two steps forward and bend down to pick up the brocade box.

"This is my sincerity..."

Of course, although the mere meter seemed short, if Qin Fang wanted to take the brocade box without giving anything, it wouldn't be so easy... unless Ding Chen gave the Azure Dragon Pill to Chen Zhi, distracting him, only then would Qin Fang have a chance to catch the box.

It's simple; Chen Zhi wouldn't discard his trump card completely... he could offer every sincerity, but it was still temporarily within his controllable range.

"Alright, I agree with you!"

Glancing at the brocade box on the ground and then at the Azure Dragon Pill in his hand, Qin Fang fell silent as if contemplating the pros and cons... However, Qin Fang quickly reached a decision, speaking while tossing the Azure Dragon Pill away.

This Azure Dragon Pill, of course, was not directly thrown towards Chen Zhi but slightly off-target...

To ensure the Azure Dragon Pill wasn't lost, Chen Zhi would have to abandon the brocade box on the ground and grab the off-course Azure Dragon Pill first... and Qin Fang would seize the opportunity to capture the brocade box.

Thus, both parties would complete the transaction!

"The Azure Dragon Pill is mine now..."

Witnessing Qin Fang toss the Azure Dragon Pill, Chen Zhi's face lit up with joy, ignoring the brocade box and immediately rushing towards the Azure Dragon Pill.

Meanwhile, Qin Fang showed a subtle smile at the corner of his mouth, quickly stepped forward, grabbed the brocade box without checking its contents, and directly put it into the Props Box.

After storing the brocade box, Qin Fang's hand produced another elixir, which he quickly tossed into his mouth...

"Huh?"

When this elixir appeared, Chen Zhi, who was retrieving the Azure Dragon Pill, paused slightly, sensing the aura of the Azure Dragon Pill originating from Qin Fang's direction, "Could it be he has more than one?"

Faced with the first Azure Dragon Pill, Chen Zhi's immediate thought was Qin Fang possessed more Azure Dragon Pills!

"Hmph, I'll get one first... then slowly finish you off, all your treasures will end up in my hands!"

Without further thought, Chen Zhi immediately grasped the Azure Dragon Pill thrown by Qin Fang... instantly, he appeared overjoyed, as if foreseeing his entrance into the legendary Supreme Realm.

Buzz~~~

Yet at this moment, a terrifying aura emanated from Qin Fang, even causing the Great Grandmaster level expert Chen Zhi to tremble...

"This is... you've actually consumed the Azure Dragon Pill?"

Chen Zhi's face turned extremely ugly, glaring at Qin Fang with disbelief.

"Madman, truly a madman... this is absolutely squandering, a waste!"

The Azure Dragon Pill is a superb spiritual medicine, extremely rare, with frightening potency that only Great Grandmaster-level experts can consume; otherwise, its terrifying power could completely destroy a person's body.

Even Great Grandmaster-level experts typically only attempt consuming the Azure Dragon Pill if their strength is at the late-stage or peak of the Great Grandmaster level... if not, there's still a risk of exploding and dying.

Even Chen Zhi planned to consume it only after reaching the late-stage of the Great Grandmaster level... but lacked the courage to waste its power now!

Yet, Qin Fang, whose cultivation was only at the Master Level late-stage and still hadn't reached the Great Grandmaster Rank, recklessly swallowed it... this was nearly a death wish, and no wonder Chen Zhi criticized him openly!

"Wasteful? Not necessarily..."

But Qin Fang, undergoing a terrifying baptism of power, not only hadn't exploded but instead grinned and uttered those words, his aura now fully matched that of the Great Grandmaster-level Chen Zhi.

"So, this is the Great Grandmaster-level power..."

What's more crushing for Chen Zhi was that Qin Fang hadn't died from body explosion; instead, his power surged to the Great Grandmaster level, virtually matching Chen Zhi's... although Qin Fang remained in the Master Level late-stage, his strength certainly was at the Great Grandmaster level.

With power equivalent to Chen Zhi's...

No longer having an absolute power advantage, even with the Azure Dragon Pill, Chen Zhi was now flustered and internally chaotic... as a Master-level Qin Fang could already challenge him, what would happen now both were equal in strength?
