There was an elder in the Xu Clan who left the clan to study as an alchemist when he was younger. There weren’t many people who knew of this matter, but it wasn’t a secret among the nobles.
It was due to the occasional pills given by this elder that the offsprings of the Xu Clan had an advantage over others in cultivation.
The pill which he concocted was known as the ‘Bone Forging Pill’, and it was unique to that Xu Clan elder. It wasn’t available in the market, and due to the limited supply, it was never given to outsiders either.
Regarding the Bone Forging Pill, the most famous legend shrouding it was the ‘Three Pills Forging Panther Bone’. With just three pills, one was able to forge the most fundamental layer of Panther Bone without even cultivating.
The cultivation of one’s root bone was publicly acknowledged to be the hardest, yet just three of the Xu Clan’s Bone Forging Pill was sufficient to grant one 1-dan Panther Bone. As such, one could easily imagine the immense value of the pill.
Even so, despite the massive advantage of the pills, the Xu Clan was unable to mass produce these pills.
The forging process of the Bone Forging Pills was extremely complex, and the Xu Clan elder was capable of concocting only five or six every year.
It wasn’t even sufficient for the consumption of their own offsprings, so the Xu Clan was extremely stingy about the Bone Forging Pill.
However, Wang Chong knew that Xu Xuan definitely had the Bone Forging Pill on him, and it was likely that he had more than one.
It was a tradition among the prestigious clans to devote resources to grooming the most outstanding clan member. In the Xu Clan, Xu Xuan’s cultivation may not be the strongest, but his talent was. Without a doubt, the resources of the Xu Clan was tilted toward him.
There was definitely more than one Bone Forging Pill on him.
“You must be joking! How can we give the Bone Forging Pill to you?”
Before Xu Xuan could speak, his elder brother, Xu Jing, lashed out. Their grandfathers were political rivals, and they have fought ferociously with one another when they were younger. The number of times that they have impeached one another was uncountable.
Thus, the Xu Clan never hesitated to humiliate the members of the Wang Clan in public to vent their grandfather’s frustration and pay back everything Wang Chong’s grandfather had done to him back then.
But the Bone Forging Pill was another matter!
It was already a limited commodity in Xu Clan, so how could the lad from Wang Clan dream of obtaining it? Wasn’t this fellow being too optimistic?
At this moment, Xu Jing was even doubting if Ye Yinping was collaborating with Wang Chong to obtain the Xu Clan’s Bone Forging Pill!
“Hmph! If you don’t have the guts to do so, scram!”
Wang Li spouted coldly.
Toward the Xu Clan, Wang Li and Wang Chong shared a rare consensus. But despite their dislike for the Xu Clan, given that grandfather didn’t say a thing about this matter, it wasn’t appropriate for them to do anything either.
Furthermore, they were at the Four Quarters Hall, a place the Sage Emperor built specially for grandfather. Surely the Xu Clan would know better than to go overboard here.
Thus, Wang Li wasn’t too worried about the battle between Wang Chong and Xu Xuan.
“You!”
Xu Jing immediately flew into a temper. But before he could say anything, another voice sounded beside him:
