After Xia Li spoke, the Cloud Mountain Sect disciples finally began sizing him up.Though they could sense Xia Li's aura was much stronger than ordinary Qi Refining cultivators, they'd brought three inner sect Foundation Establishnt senior brothers on this trip. Would they fear a re Qi Refining cultivator?"I don't know where you got this supre-grade Foundation Establishnt Pill, but from now on, it's mine."Senior Brother Wang stepped forward and extended his hand directly, his condescending gaze seeming to demand Xia Li hand it over voluntarily.Seeing this, Xia Li smiled and simply dropped the pill on the ground, stepping on it."Fine. I don't lack these things anyway. But you should at least make happy first, right? Co here like a dog and pick it up with your mouth.""Not just this one..."With a thought, Xia Li produced three more supre-grade Foundation Establishnt Pills from his storage ring."As long as you're willing to co pick them up like dogs, I'll give them to you."Xia Li held the pills in his right hand while beckoning with his left. When facing this kind of trouble, the best approach was to make them wary, make them question his identity.If he could so easily produce supre-grade Foundation Establishnt Pills, they should carefully consider whether they still wanted to be shaless."You!!"Senior Brother Wang wanted to say sothing but couldn't get the words out."What? Don't you want them? You don't need to steal them—I'll give them freely. Just entertain , and the path to heaven will open for you.""After all... I can refine these casually."Xia Li felt the timing was right and directly activated the spiritual energy aura contained within the Foundation Establishnt Pills.Foundation Establishnt Pills were different from other types of pills. Because the refining process was quite complex and involved knowledge of talisman arts and spirit patterns, it consud large amounts of the refiner's spiritual energy.Therefore...The refiner's spiritual energy aura inevitably remained in the Foundation Establishnt Pills.Now that the aura was triggered, everyone present could sense that the spiritual energy in the Foundation Establishnt Pills shared the sa source as Xia Li's.This directly proved the Foundation Establishnt Pills were refined by Xia Li himself.Cold sweat broke out on the Cloud Mountain Sect disciples who'd co to steal the pills. The person before them was definitely a highly skilled alchemist.Foundation Establishnt Pills were only second-tier pills, but their refining difficulty was such that even third-tier Golden Core alchemists couldn't guarantee success.Yet a Qi Refining cultivator had refined them!This could only an Xia Li's background was extrely terrifying—perhaps a disciple of so major alchemy power."Fellow... Fellow Daoist... we can apologize..."Seeing this, Senior Brother Wang imdiately knelt to Xia Li. The other disciples also bowed their heads in submission, their earlier arrogance completely gone.Though this result satisfied Xia Li, it also slightly disappointed him."I thought you'd take the risk and try to attack . Capture and imprison , force to refine pills for you.""Or report to your sect and have them capture at any cost."This was more in line with what Xia Li had imagined. Of course, if things had developed that way, he had solutions.He just hadn't expected them to kneel so quickly."Or inform other sects and use them as a borrowed knife."Xia Li scrutinized the Cloud Mountain Sect disciples, gaining new understanding of the cultivation world's ways.Co to think of it, they were like the Liu family before.Both were the type to surrender and apologize at lightning speed when things went wrong.It seed the phrase "just evil, not stupid" could describe most cultivators in this world.

The truly crazy ones were only people like Liu Fu, who would go for the kill without any consideration.This kind of culture was actually worse."I admit so people would do that, but we don't dare. After all, the slightest mistake risks clan extermination..."Senior Brother Wang's attitude was now excellent—completely different from before, like two different people. The other Cloud Mountain Sect disciples were the sa."Junior Brother Liu, I admit defeat in this matter. I'll compensate you when we return to the sect. And..."Senior Brother Wang suddenly stood up, grabbed Junior Sister He behind him, and lifted her by the throat."This bitch doesn't need to be kept, right?"Senior Brother Wang was quite decisive. This scene reminded Xia Li of when Third Uncle Liu had killed Liu Fu—it seed being a petty person was a high-risk occupation in this world.Do it right and you get at. But if things go wrong, you're imdiately used to vent anger.To this, Xia Li could only say: serves her right.Ultimately, Liu Jingfeng had trusted the wrong person."Senior Brother Liu, save !! I... I was wrong... I'll demote myself to a nial disciple when we return to the sect, and serve you like an ox or horse from now on!!"Junior Sister He pleaded tearfully with Liu Jingfeng, her voice hoarse. She knew she was wrong now—terribly wrong.The Liu family had such a high-level figure who could refine supre-grade Foundation Establishnt Pills. Liu Jingfeng's future achievents would be limitless. Following Liu Jingfeng would only bring benefits, not harm.But what had she done?She'd personally destroyed her own fortune, and now she was about to die!One wrong thought—truly just one wrong thought!"This... isn't sothing I can speak on."Liu Jingfeng looked toward Xia Li. The Cloud Mountain Sect disciples all looked toward Xia Li as well."Senior... Senior, I was wrong. Give one chance. I'm willing to give everything. You can do whatever you want to !"Junior Sister He now began pleading with Xia Li. Xia Li rely waved his hand.This made Junior Sister He's heart leap with joy, thinking Xia Li ant to spare her.Excellent!She would definitely make Xia Li, the Liu family, and all these senior brothers suffer fates worse than death!"So Fellow Daoist ans... let her go?"Senior Brother Wang hadn't expected Xia Li to be so rciful."I an throw her outside and kill her. Don't dirty my ho."But Xia Li's next words instantly broke Junior Sister He. Being able to speak yet choosing to wave his hand—what was that supposed to an? Giving her hope only to crush it?"Senior... spare ..."Junior Sister He still tried to plead, but Xia Li rely waved his hand again.This ti Senior Brother Wang understood. Gripping Junior Sister He, he walked straight out of the hall and leaped over the courtyard wall.Before long...He returned to the hall and knelt properly again."Fellow Daoist, I've taken care of it.""Mm. In that case, let's consider this matter settled."Xia Li nodded. Senior Brother Wang and the others felt as if granted amnesty. They imdiately stood, said a bunch of flattering words, left considerable spirit stones as apology, and left without looking back.Today had truly been like walking through a dragon's den and tiger's lair.They'd thought Liu Jingfeng had just gotten lucky with a low-grade Foundation Establishnt Pill. They hadn't expected supre-grade, and they certainly hadn't expected the one producing supre-grade Foundation Establishnt Pills to be a mysterious alchemist.If they'd known even a little more, they wouldn't have co courting death.
