56: Chapter 56 Wholehearted and Willing Compliance 56: Chapter 56 Wholehearted and Willing Compliance “Chairman Huo Lie, please take a look.” Mu Can shook his head slightly with dissatisfaction after inspecting the elixir in his hand.

Although he had managed to achieve elixir formation in one alchemy attempt with ease, Mu Can was still not satisfied with himself; the elixir did not meet his standards by far.

With a gentle flick, the fiery red elixir spun through the air towards Huo Lie.

Huo Lie caught the elixir and carefully scrutinized it in the palm of his hand, while the crowd around them also gathered closer.

“The color is rich and lustrous, the fragrance overwhelming, and there’s even a wisp of elixir spirit enveloping it.

Even within the Fiery Flame Branch, there are few who can refine elixirs of such quality.” Huo Lie meticulously observed the elixir that Mu Can had refined and commented.

“I really didn’t expect him to be a Pill Master.

So young and he can already refine elixirs with elixir spirit.” An alchemist behind Huo Lie remarked, confident that he himself couldn’t refine such an elixir.

“How about it, Chairman Huo Lie?” Even though Mu Can was not very satisfied with his own refined elixir, he felt that it should still be impressive enough to awe Huo Lie.

“Young friend’s elixir should be considered a third-grade Earth-tier elixir; it’s already a rare and exquisite pill.

The quality of the elixir suggests it’s much stronger than most Pill Masters’.

It’s just that I’m unsure about the function of this elixir, which would help me assess the value of its use,” said Huo Lie, holding the elixir.

Mu Can’s elixir was indeed impressive, and Huo Lie felt that he had underestimated Mu Can before.

Yet, he had never seen this type of elixir before and had no clue of its effect.

After all, the effect of an elixir is the most crucial condition determining its value.

“To think this guy didn’t seem capable, yet his ability to discern elixirs is not bad,” Purple Cloud said indifferently from within the Reincarnation Pearl at home.

For Purple Cloud, Huo Lie’s alchemy abilities were utterly unworthy of mention, but this was all relative.

To others, Huo Lie still had some skills, or else how could he become a chairman of a branch?

“Not to hide from you, Chairman, this pill is called the Martial Sect Forbidden Breaking Pill.

Its effect is to greatly increase the success rate of a Great Martial Master at the peak level breaking through to Martial Venerate,” Mu Can calmly explained.

If the alchemy techniques inherited from Purple Cloud weren’t enough to convince these people wholeheartedly, then he was no different from a failure.

“You say it increases the chances, does it?

What if I say it has no effect?” The burly man couldn’t help but interrupt and speak.

It was as if by belittling Mu Can, he could gain some advantage.

Mu Can glanced at the burly man and said coldly, “You have repeatedly made disrespectful remarks.

Are you presuming my Mu Family has no one to stand for it?”

Time and again, the continuous targeting had ignited Mu Can’s anger.

“What?

Aren’t we even allowed to speak?

Just because you know how to perform the Fire Control Skill doesn’t mean you’re a real Pill Master.

You’re still too green,” the burly man shouted loudly.

He didn’t realize that his peers frowned at his words, indicating that he had indeed gone too far today.

Even Huo Lie acknowledged Mu Can’s strength.

Speaking out now, wasn’t he just slapping Huo Lie’s face?

Xuanyuan Mingkong frowned displeasedly.

Seeing Xuanyuan Mingkong’s frown, the two Martial Venerates who came with Huo Lie quickly stepped back into the crowd.

“Then I will make you thoroughly convinced, Chairman Huo Lie.

Among those who came with you this time, is there a Great Martial Master at the peak level?” Mu Can looked at Huo Lie and asked.

“Li Shuang, haven’t you been stuck at the peak of the Great Martial Master for a long time?

You give it a try, see if this kid is bluffing or not.” Before Huo Lie could say anything, the burly man eagerly spoke up.

“Shut your mouth.

Don’t you think we’ve been embarrassed enough?” Huo Lie, having learned of Xuanyuan Mingkong’s strength from the two Martial Venerates, grew impatient with the burly man’s relentless provocation.

“It’s alright, Chairman Huo Lie, if I said I would make him thoroughly convinced, I definitely will,” Mu Can said with a smile.

“Li Shuang, then you try this medicine.” Seeing no reason to delay further, Huo Lie also wanted to witness a medicine that could help a Great Martial Master break through to Martial Venerate.

Li Shuang was originally displeased at the burly man’s words; clearly, it was his bet, so why drag him into it?

If the medicine proved good, that was fine, but if it had no effect, wouldn’t that be poisonous?

But when Huo Lie called him, he immediately stepped forward obediently.

Although Huo Lie sometimes acted too much on his whims, he never betrayed his subordinates, which was why these people were willing to follow his lead.

Li Shuang took the Elixir, and without thinking, tossed it into his mouth and swallowed it.

Everyone around was staring intently at Li Shuang, even Mu Can was watching with interest to see his reaction.

Not out of nervousness, but because it was also his first time giving an Elixir he refined to someone else and he wanted to see the effect.

Poor Li Shuang thus became the guinea pig for testing the Elixir.

After the Elixir entered his stomach, the imagined incidents didn’t occur.

Instead, a warm current slowly spread from his belly, and wave after wave of energy burst out from the Elixir, driving the energy through his entire meridian system.

“Quickly, start your Cultivation Technique and prepare for a breakthrough,” urged Mu Can upon seeing this.

Li Shuang immediately forced himself to relax from the nervousness, sat down with his legs crossed, and began to operate his Cultivation Technique.

A powerful Cultivator isn’t necessarily a powerful Pill Master, but a powerful Pill Master is definitely a powerful Cultivator.

After all, both the Fire Control Skill and Soul Power require a certain level of strength from the Pill Master to perform properly.

Thus, a Pill Master’s desire for strength far exceeds that of ordinary Cultivators.

Li Shuang was stuck in the third-rank Alchemist exam because of his own lack of strength.

In the Alchemist Association, the treatment for each differing rank was worlds apart.

“Ah!” Feeling a force helping him to break through, Li Shuang roared, and the energy in his veins sped up.

Based on past experiences, every time he reached this point, he would lack the power to break through.

But this time, with the mystical power emanating from the Elixir, Li Shuang finally had enough energy to assault the Martial Sect Realm.

With a surge of effort, he felt as though something broke in his mind, and then he entered a new realm—the Martial Sect Realm.

Just one Elixir allowed Li Shuang, stuck at the Martial Sect Realm for two years, to break through effortlessly.

It was truly miraculous.

Li Shuang slowly stood up and bowed deeply to Mu Can.

“Thank you, Master, for your gift of the Elixir,” Li Shuang said respectfully to Mu Can.

If it wasn’t for Mu Can’s Elixir today, he didn’t know how long he would have to wait to break through.

“How about it?

Are you convinced now?” Mu Can ignored Li Shuang and turned to look at the burly man.

Despite everything, the burly man still tried to argue.

“Slap.” Huo Lie turned around and slapped him.

The slap stunned not only the burly man but also Mu Can, who was somewhat puzzled.

“Are you a pig?

Apologize quickly,” Huo Lie scolded fiercely.

Not to mention, just the strength that Mu Can exhibited was enough for Huo Lie to take him seriously, let alone the unfathomably powerful elder backing Mu Can.

“No need to apologize.

If you said you’d eat shit, then you must eat shit.

I’ve always been very fair,” Mu Can said indifferently.

He called over Old Hu and, after whispering to him, Old Hu scurried out.

“Brother Mu Can, what’s he going to do?” Qingyi asked curiously.

“He’s gone to fetch shit,” Mu Can’s words nearly scared the burly man to tears.
