"Father, please redress my grievances!" In a certain room in the Liu family mansion, Liu Jingtong said to his father while crying.

At this moment, his lower abdomen was still aching faintly. What made his heart tremble even more was that his father had already said that if it wasn't for the Life Recovery Pill, he wouldn't be able to walk this path for his entire lifetime.

However, the Life Recovery Pill was not something that was common. It was said that in the entire Central Region, there had only been three in the past hundred years. Where could the Liu Clan find such a pill now?

For that, he naturally hated the Lin Long who tried to kill him to the bone.

"Don't worry, son. Father will make the decision for you." Liu Kangning said with a gloomy face.

He originally thought that Liu Jingtong's injuries weren't serious, because Liu Jingtong didn't seem to be severely injured at the time. He didn't think that he would actually be injured in a place like this.

And Liu Jingtong was his only son. If he was truly inhumane, then wouldn't that mean that his Liu Family would lose their incense in the future? Thus, he similarly hated Lin Long to the bones.

"Father, you must send an even stronger warrior to deal with that Lin Long. This time, he was lucky to have the Alchemists Union's Luo Hong and Kong Zhi to help him. Next time, he won't be so lucky." Liu Jingtong said fiercely.

"Don't worry, child. This father Lin Long must have personally brought him before you to apologize, so that he wouldn't be able to be humane." Liu Kangning promised.

"Then this child will first thank father."

"Child, you rest first. Father will go out first. No matter what, Father will manage this matter to the end." After making three promises, Liu Kangning finally walked out of Liu Jingtong's room.

"Lin Long, the Pill Refining Competition is around the corner, the first place in the competition is more important, I will keep you alive for now." Liu Kangning said angrily as he walked out of Liu Jingtong's room.

After saying that, he walked forward with large strides.

Entering the main hall of his house, a twenty-something-year-old scholarly young man who looked like he was waiting for him stood up and respectfully said, "Greetings, fourth uncle."

"Hahaha …" Seeing this scholarly youth, the haze on Liu Kangning's face dissipated, but after laughing, he patted the youth's shoulders, and praised, "It's been so many years since I last saw you, nephew. I never expected that you've become more and more outstanding."

"I wonder what Fourth Uncle's urgent matter is for Fourth Uncle to ask my nephew to rush back to Heavenly Star City in the next few days?" the elegant youth asked.

"The thing is, a pill refining competition is going to be held in Heavenly Star City. At that time, you can represent our Liu Family to participate in it. However, you must obtain first place." Liu Kangning's face became extremely serious.

He only thought so highly of this nephew of his, Li Cheng, because of his outstanding talent in alchemy. I heard that he obtained the qualification to become a third-rate alchemist two years after leaving the Heavenly Star City, and this year, even more so, obtained the qualification to become a fourth-rate alchemist.

It was also because of this that he made him rush back to the Heavenly Star City during this period of time.

Li Cheng left the Heavenly Star City for the Eastern Region six years ago to practice medicine refining from his friend who was also in the Eastern Region.

"I wonder why Fourth Uncle thinks so highly of this Alchemy Competition?" Li Cheng was a little confused. After all, in this place where so many alchemists were gathered, holding an alchemy competition was a very normal thing.

Liu Kangning carefully looked around to make sure that no one was eavesdropping before he whispered, "Nephew, you don't understand anymore. This time, the reward for first place in the Alchemists Union is no small matter, I even took out the Alchemists Union's Alchemy List.

"What?" Upon hearing Liu Kangning's words, Li Cheng was immediately shocked, "The Alchemists Union of the Central Region actually brought out such a treasure to protect the Alliance?"

No wonder Li Cheng was surprised, because the Myriad Medicine Manual was the most precious treasure of the Alchemists Union. The reason why the Alchemists Union was able to grow so strong and small was because of the Myriad Medicine Manual.

There was once a rumor that even an ordinary genius alchemist would be able to become a fourth tier alchemist after reading this alchemy manual. From this, it could be seen how extraordinary this alchemist was.

However, to have a look at this Alchemy Book was not a simple matter. Even if you were able to enter the Alchemists Union and get the attention of the Alchemists Union's instructors, you would not have the chance to see this book.

This was because there was one more crucial condition for reading this book, and that was to stay in the Alchemists Union for ten more years. Furthermore, during these ten years, you must not make any mistakes that would let the Alchemists Union down, and if there was one, no matter how strong you were, you would not be qualified to read this book.

Because of how harsh it was, Li Cheng was extremely shocked to hear that Alchemists Union had actually taken out a medicine manual to read as a reward.

"That's right." Liu Kangning nodded.

"It's just that, I heard that the Alchemy Competition in Heavenly Star City is aimed at the entire central region. If the champion is taken away by another force, wouldn't Alchemists Union be crying? How could they make such a retarded decision?" Li Cheng was a little confused.

"Another reason is that the founder of the Alchemists Union, Li Tian, had once set a rule that every dozen years or so, one must use this Alchemy Book as a reward and must target the entire central region." Liu Kangning said.

"I really don't understand." Li Cheng immediately opened his eyes wide.

Indeed, using his own absolute arts as a reward and the audience not being his own people, how could he understand.

"Who knows what Instructor Li Tian is thinking? In short, Nephew, you only need to remember that you must get first place and obtain the right to read this ten thousand medicinal herbs." Liu Kangning said in a serious tone.

In the entire central region, Liu Kangning was not the only one who had thoughts about the tens of thousands of medicinal herbs, the conflict with the Alchemists Union had recently caused him to make the decision to obtain the ten thousand medicinal herbs.

"It's just that, although nephew has recently become a tier four alchemist, there are too many strong alchemists within the Central Region's younger generation. I'm afraid that it will be extremely difficult for nephew to obtain first place." Li Cheng asked worriedly.

No, he wasn't just worried, he hadn't even thought of getting first place.

Don't worry nephew, this time around, there aren't many powerful alchemists among the Central Region's young generation. As long as you participate and use your strength, you will have a great chance of getting first place. Even if you meet a challenge, I will think of a way for you. Liu Kangning said.

Seeing how confident Liu Kangning was, Li Cheng's heart was moved. After all, as an alchemist, the Ten Thousand Medicine Manual was something he wanted to see for himself.

He also believed that as long as he read the ten thousand medicinal herbs, his achievements in alchemy would reach a whole new level.

"Alright, I will listen to Fourth Uncle. I, your nephew, will participate in this Pill Refining Competition." Li Cheng immediately replied.

"Good, good, good." Liu Kangning immediately laughed loudly.

The reason he was so happy was naturally because the truth was about the same as what he had said. Furthermore, he had an even more powerful trump card, and once he obtained that trump card, Li Cheng would definitely be number one.

At night, when it was quiet and the streets of Heavenly Star City were empty, Liu Kangning sneaked out of the Liu family house and took advantage of the night to sneak out of the city.

Soon, he arrived at a wilderness outside of the city. After seeing a black tent under a large tree, he immediately walked over.

When the Heavenly Star City's Alchemy Competition was about to begin, there would naturally be many talented people gathered in Heavenly Star City. Therefore, it was not surprising for there to be such a tent outside the city.

But, Liu Kangning had obviously known that the other party was here.

Upon arriving at the tent, a tall, black clothed man that was hidden in the darkness immediately flashed out.

"Who?" the man asked in a low voice.

"Heavenly Star City's Liu Family Patriarch, Liu Kangning." Liu Kangning replied.

Before this person could reply, an old and low voice sounded from inside the tent. This voice sounded as if it came from underground.

"Come in."

The black clothed man immediately lifted up his tent and indicated for Liu Kangning to enter.

Liu Kangning walked in with a smile.

There were no lights inside the tent. In the darkness, Liu Kangning was barely able to see an old and skinny man sitting in front of him. However, he seemed to have known who the man was since long ago, so he did not pursue this matter.

"Greetings, Elder Cang Yun!" Liu Kangning said respectfully.

If someone saw this scene, they would definitely be incomparably shocked, because Liu Kangning was an arrogant person in the Heavenly Star City, so no matter who he saw, he would not be this respectful.

It was so much so that he dared to challenge Luo Hong face to face, but facing this old man, Liu Kangning was respectful to the point that he did not dare to disrespect him.

"Yes." The old man opposite him nodded and asked, "Have you thought it through?"

"I've thought it through." After clenching his teeth, Liu Kangning nodded his head fiercely, "I am willing to pass my knowledge of the technique to the elders after obtaining the ten thousand medicinal herbs."

"Alright." The elder's orange face broke into a smile.1

"However, there seems to be some trouble at the moment. My people do not dare to guarantee that they will be able to obtain first place. Therefore, we request the assistance of the Elders." Liu Kangning said.

"Is that so? This is already within my expectations." Saying that, the old man took out a small cauldron from the darkness and handed it over to Liu Kangning: "This is a small cauldron that was refined according to that template."

Liu Kangning immediately took the small cauldron, and after looking at it a few times, his face immediately revealed a happy expression, "Elder is truly powerful."

"It's nothing." The old man snorted disdainfully, then handed over a small bottle. Clearly, it contained a medicinal pill.

"What is this?" Liu Kangning was a little surprised.

"Tier 4 Soul Possession Pill."

The old man's words immediately caused the joy on Liu Kangning's face to grow even stronger.

This was because the fourth grade Soul Possession Pill was not an ordinary pill. It was a pill that could allow an ordinary third tier alchemist to have the strength of a fourth tier alchemist. However, this kind of pill was not easy to obtain.

It could be said that in the entire Alchemists Union of the central region, no one would refine such a pill.

With this pill, the chances of his nephew getting first place was one hundred percent.

"Thank you, Elder Cang Yun." Liu Kangning was overjoyed.

"You can't blame me for this, you can only say that it was Luo Hong and the Alchemists Union that forced me to do this." Walking out of the tent, after muttering these words in his heart, the Liu Kangning who revealed a trace of ruthlessness on his face disappeared into the darkness.
