Chapter 746: 746

Undercurrents surged in the outer world, yet at this moment, Lin Dong was entirely focused on his cultivation retreat.

Another entire day passed, and Lin Dong placed those Three Strains of Heavenly Earth Treasures into the furnace for refinement.

At the moment, the Three Strains of Heavenly Earth Treasures had already fused within the furnace.

He then began to add the Three-Section Iris.

The reason for doing so was not superfluous.

To consume them directly was certainly possible, but the efficacy would not reach this level.

Lin Dong knew a certain level of alchemy, and by simply refining these Three Strains of Heavenly Earth Treasures with the Three-Section Iris, he could unleash greater energy from them.

It only required a few more days of time.

Sacrificing a few days of effort for a portion of extra energy was completely worth it.

"Hoo-hoo~~" After adding the Three-Section Iris, the medicinal herbs in the furnace emitted an even richer medicinal fragrance.

Their energy became more concentrated.

Lin Dong employed Internal Qi Transformation, invoking more ’Alchemist Fire’ to continue refining these herbs.

Time flashed by, and three more days passed.

On this day, as a faint popping noise came from the furnace, a rich medicinal scent diffused from within.

At the bottom of the Alchemy Furnace lay a pill, which was the fusion of the Three Strains of Heavenly Earth Treasures and the Three-Section Iris.

After Lin Dong took it out, he swallowed it in one gulp.

The Dan medicine tasted much better than eating the Heavenly and Earthly treasures raw, and its medicinal effect was also much more powerful.

No sooner had he swallowed it than the overwhelming medicinal effect filled Lin Dong’s body.

Lin Dong quickly began to circulate the Nine Shift Longevity secret to refine and absorb the medicinal effect.

"Hoo-hoo~~~"

The medicinal effect transformed into energy and slowly gathered in his Dantian along his meridians.

In the Dantian, the half Golden Pill was slowly becoming more refined...

Such immense energy could not be refined in a short amount of time. It would still take a few days.

While Lin Dong was refining the Golden Pill, various events were happening in the outside world at the moment.

The incorporation of the Chen Family by Bai Zhonglou and Li Qingcang went smoothly.

Both of their strengths were incredibly formidable, and most of the experts in the Chen Family had been almost entirely killed by Lin Dong previously.

So, incorporating their industries faced almost no resistance.

Only, Nangong Hong and Shen Yun encountered some troubles over there.

After all, the two were not of the Martial Way.

And both were big shots from Jiangnan, in charge of incorporating the Four Great Families in Jiangbei. Even with Lin Dong’s name to back them, it was still not going to be easy.

The Four Great Families still had many experts left.

Among them, there were no lack of Sect Masters.

Among the Four Great Families was the Shangguan Clan.

This Shangguan Clan, created single-handedly by Chen Beiming’s former disciple and lover, Shangguan Yun, had only a history of twenty years. And yet, it had become a force dominating its territory.

Shangguan Yun, although beheaded by Lin Dong, left behind her son Shangguan Siming.

This Shangguan Siming was none other than Shangguan Yun and Chen Beiming’s son. Don’t think that he was young, at just over twenty years of age. He had been concealing his strength and biding his time, and now he already possessed the strength of an Explosive Qi Master.

Moreover, he had a group of Wushu Experts following him.

After his mother, Shangguan Yun, was beheaded by Lin Dong, the Shangguan Clan continued to be controlled by him.

Now, as Nangong Hong came forward to incorporate the Shangguan Clan, she encountered his obstruction.

In the main hall of the Shangguan Clan’s main building, Shangguan Siming sat in the principal seat, surrounded by about a dozen elders of the Shangguan Clan.

Besides them, there were more than a dozen martial artists loyal to Shangguan Siming.

At this time, one of the martial artists following him asked,

"Young Master, that Master Lin has sent Nangong Hong, one of his followers, to incorporate our Shangguan Clan."

"What should we do now?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding elders of the Shangguan Clan began to speak up one after another.

"The Shangguan Clan, we’ve worked so hard to build what we have now. How can we just hand it over to someone else?"

"Exactly! Siming, our Shangguan Clan cannot be incorporated by others."

"That so-called Nangong Hong is nothing but a dog of Master Lin. It is said she doesn’t even know Martial Way! How can such a dog try to incorporate our Shangguan Clan? Is she worthy?"

"If Master Lin personally came, indeed we should avoid confrontation for the time being. But now he has sent a dog who doesn’t know the Martial Way, how can we back down."

"..."

These elders were so impassioned that their faces reddened.

Seeing this, Shangguan Siming sneered inwardly.

He knew all too well what these elders were thinking.

These elders were used to enjoying luxuries. If the Shangguan Clan were to be incorporated, then their future would not just lack luxuries, but even their retirement would be in jeopardy.

For the sake of their own future and continued enjoyment of glory and wealth, they naturally did not want the Shangguan Clan to be taken over by others.

Even though Shangguan Siming disdained them, there was one thing the elders said that was correct.

If Master Lin personally came, they would indeed need to avoid conflict for the time being. But now, he had only sent Nangong Hong.

Nangong Hong, Shangguan Siming had heard of her too. A woman who was not even a martial artist, relying on Master Lin, had taken control of the Black Dragon Society in Jianghai.

To someone like her, Shangguan Siming paid no heed.

"The elders are right; a mere dog dreams of incorporating our Shangguan Clan. It’s simply ludicrous!"

As soon as Shangguan Siming said this, a martial arts expert beside him hurriedly said,

"Young Master, think thrice. That Nangong Hong might be nothing, but behind her stands Master Lin, the Ferocious Demon. The wisest course of action for you now is to quickly flee overseas!"

But before the Wushu Expert could finish speaking, Shangguan Siming cut him off.

"I’d rather die than run!" he said, shaking his head. "I refuse to be a homeless dog wandering overseas."

"Furthermore, that Master Lin still has to prepare for the big battle ten days from now. That battle, who wins and who loses, is uncertain."

"I can still take another gamble!"

Hearing him say this, everyone else closed their mouths.

Yes, if Chen Beiming wins after ten days, everything could be regained.

Their Shangguan Clan would not lose everything.

Everyone could continue to enjoy their glory and wealth!
