Divine War Pill Emperor

"I’ll take this Pill Furnace."

Jiang Chen said, pointing at the Low-Grade Dharma Artifact Pill Furnace.

He really didn’t have many essence crystals on him.

The essence crystals he did have were only because of his status as the young master of the Jiang Family.

With such a status, the former Jiang Chen naturally wouldn’t have cared about squandering the Jiang Family’s fortune.

But the current Jiang Chen understood that he had to rely on himself for everything.

The Jiang Family was just a temporary support.

Sooner or later, he would have to leave and return to the place he had come from—the vast Nine Desolate World.

From now on, Jiang Chen would be self-reliant and wouldn’t take a single essence crystal from the Jiang Family.

As an Alchemist, he was quite confident about this.

Even if it meant starting over as an Alchemist.

"Well, if it isn’t the young master of the Jiang Family, Jiang Chen?"

Just as Jiang Chen claimed the Pill Furnace, a strange, sarcastic voice came from the side.

The voice was filled with derision and contempt.

Jiang Chen turned his head to look.

He saw a dashing man dressed in white robes.

He held a folding fan with a landscape painting and sauntered over, fanning himself elegantly.

Jiang Chen naturally recognized the newcomer.

The son of Patriarch Bai, from one of the three great families of Hanwu City.

Bai Shu.

This person was also a sinister and ruthless character.

Although he hadn’t clashed much with Jiang Chen in the past, Bai Shu looked down on him.

It was only because Jiang Chen was just a spoiled, mischievous young master, while Bai Shu was different.

Not only did Bai Shu possess an Eighth-Grade Martial Vein and outstanding talent, but he was also very diligent.

Coupled with the Bai Family’s dedicated nurturing, his Cultivation progressed rapidly.

A single glance was all it took for Jiang Chen to see that the other party had actually reached the Cultivation level of Warrior Third Heaven.

Furthermore, Bai Shu was also an Alchemist.

’Of course, in my eyes, he’s just average.’

He didn’t take Bai Shu seriously at all.

He said nonchalantly, "Eldest Young Master Bai, if you have nothing better to do, stand aside. Don’t get in the way."

His tone held no courtesy for Bai Shu whatsoever.

After all, the Bai Family and the Jiang Family had their fair share of friction in business.

Jiang Chen also couldn’t stand Bai Shu’s arrogant personality.

Bai Shu froze.

"You’re telling me I’m in the way?"

He was utterly astonished. In the past, Jiang Chen would always stay far away from him.

How strange. Today, this guy actually dared to tell him to not get in the way.

His expression gradually darkened.

At that moment, a nearby attendant reminded him, "Young Master Bai Shu, this is the Treasure Elephant Pavilion. Please restrain yourself."

Apparently, Bai Shu had some renown.

He was also a regular customer at the Treasure Elephant Pavilion.

Of course, the Treasure Elephant Pavilion’s business in Hanwu City involved some dealings with the three great families.

However, the Treasure Elephant Pavilion was no ordinary power.

Bai Shu was on the verge of attacking Jiang Chen, but after hearing the attendant’s reminder, he hastily reined himself in.

He remembered that a terrifying behemoth of a power stood behind the Treasure Elephant Pavilion.

He didn’t dare to cause trouble.

With the Bai Family’s strength, they naturally couldn’t compare to the Treasure Elephant Pavilion.

He looked at Jiang Chen and sneered.

"Jiang Chen, you’ve got some nerve, daring to curse at me."

"Very good. I have to say, I’m impressed by a piece of trash like you."

He didn’t make a move, instead plotting a vicious scheme in his mind.

However, seeing that Jiang Chen was actually buying a Pill Furnace...

He was once again surprised.

He asked with a malicious smile, "Young Master Trash, you’re actually buying a Pill Furnace. Don’t tell me you want to become an Alchemist?"

He stared at Jiang Chen, his face full of ridicule.

Jiang Chen frowned.

This person was clearly irritating him, but the guy was completely clueless.

Since they were in the Treasure Elephant Pavilion, he temporarily held back.

He ignored him and said to the attendant, "Wrap this Pill Furnace up for me."

The attendant immediately started packing the Pill Furnace for Jiang Chen.

But when Bai Shu saw Jiang Chen ignoring him, he grew even more smug and carried away.

His arrogance was boundless.

He pointed to his chest, where a badge was hanging.

Jiang Chen glanced over and saw that the badge was the unique emblem of the Alchemy Association.

A single black line was engraved on the badge.

After seeing it, he said nothing.

’So this Bai Shu is already a First-Grade Alchemist.’

That single black line represented the status of a First-Grade Alchemist.

And one certified by the Alchemy Association at that.

But Bai Shu had already started speaking on his own.

His face was filled with a smug expression.

Pointing at the badge on his chest, he said, "See this? This is an Alchemist certification."

"I, Bai Shu, have now obtained the certification of a First-Grade Alchemist from the Alchemy Association."

The more he spoke, the more excited he became.

"And you? You’re just a piece of trash."

"A piece of trash who couldn’t even keep his own Martial Vein! HAHAHAHA..."

Among the younger generation, he was considered quite outstanding.

With a high Cultivation and the status of a First-Grade Alchemist, he was definitely a genius.

"That’s right, you’re trash."

Bai Shu’s lackeys also started mocking him one by one.

"You’re not just trash now, you’ll be trash for your entire life."

"HAHAHA..."

All of Bai Shu’s men roared with laughter, ridiculing Jiang Chen.

After all, when faced with a piece of trash, most people would respond with mockery and ridicule.

Not with sympathy.

Especially in a world where the strong prey on the weak, there was an ironclad rule: the weak were destined to be eliminated.

Yiyi couldn’t bear it. Her young master was always being mocked like this.

She finally couldn’t hold back any longer.

She stepped forward and snapped, "Shut up! Our young master is not someone you can ridicule."

Bai Shu turned to look at Yiyi.

A wicked, charming smile spread across his face.

"Well now, a piece of trash with such a beautiful Maid."

"Beauty, why don’t you come with me instead? I guarantee it’s much better than following a piece of trash."

Yiyi trembled with anger.

But there was nothing she could do about him.

Just then, Yiyi noticed a tall figure appear beside her.

It was Jiang Chen.

Yiyi said hastily, "Young Master, we should hurry back."

Jiang Chen nodded.

But he didn’t leave right away.

Instead, he looked at Bai Shu.

His face was devoid of any emotion.

He spoke, his voice slightly cold.

"Is it funny?"

"Are you done laughing?"

Bai Shu was stunned for a moment, then pointed at Jiang Chen and burst out laughing.

"Haha, the trash is angry."

"But an angry piece of trash is still a piece of trash."

"Haha, what are you gonna do, bite me?"

The words had barely left his mouth.

"CRACK!"

A resounding slap landed on Bai Shu’s face like a bolt of lightning.

In an instant, the laughter stopped abruptly, as if everything had been cut off.

Bai Shu’s laughter died in that very moment.

And the attendants next to Bai Shu all stood with their mouths agape.

Because their young master had just been slapped by Jiang Chen.

The slap was extremely loud.

It made everyone realize that this "trash" had actually made a move.

Bai Shu touched his face, which was still stinging with a fiery heat.

It reminded him that this was not an illusion.

His expression slowly twisted into a ferocious scowl.

His eyes filled with a malevolent glint.

"Jiang Chen, you’re courting death."

Bai Shu was furious.

Truly enraged.

Being slapped by Jiang Chen was a monumental humiliation.

He gritted his teeth and charged abruptly at Jiang Chen. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

To be struck by a piece of trash like Jiang Chen, despite his own Cultivation at Warrior Third Heaven—Bai Shu nearly went mad.
