Strongest Replication

After taking just a single look at the middle-aged woman, Chu Zhongtian was having a hard time controlling his anger.    

At the same time, he was secretly glad that he did not forcefully stay in the Hidden Dragon Pavilion because of greed. The pressure emanating from the middle-aged woman was far greater than Chu Tianyun's.    

Chu Tianyun had already a peak Level-10 Body Refiner just a step away from Qi Transformation Realm, yet he didn't seem as strong as that middle-aged woman. In other words, the middle-aged woman was a peerless expert at the Qi Transformation Realm or above.    

"Zhongtian!" Chu Yuping was already here since he was on the second floor, and he left the Hidden Dragon Pavilion after the first shout.    

However, all his attention had been on the girl the entire time, so he didn't notice Chu Zhongtian's arrival for quite some time.    

It was only at this moment that he came back to his senses and noticed Chu Zhongtian.    

"Let's wait and see!" After sensing the strength of the middle-aged woman, Chu Zhongtian knew that he couldn't continue cultivating in the Hidden Dragon Pavilion. However, he was also unwilling to waste this opportunity for nothing. Therefore, he wanted to see if the middle-aged woman and Qi Heng would compensate him.    

"Princess is going to enter the Hidden Dragon Pavilion to cultivate, so you guys should leave first!" The middle-aged woman frowned, seeing that Chu Zhongtian and the other two did not leave immediately after leaving the Hidden Dragon Pavilion. She said with a slightly impatient expression.    

'Shameless!' Seeing that the middle-aged woman had no intention of compensating him, Chu Zhongtian could only curse in his heart and then take Chu Yuping away with him.    

Suddenly, Dongfang Yun'er, who had been standing by the side without saying anything, spoke.    

"Wait!"    

Facing the peerlessly beautiful and noble princess, Chu Zhongtian did not have the slightest bit of adoration or respect. On the contrary, he only had an expressionless face and even a trace of disgust in his eyes.    

Our Chu Zhongtian was no simp. He had his own rendition of the famous “bros before hoes.” It was... cultivation before hoes. So what if she had a fairy-like temperament? He wouldn't have cared even if she was a real fairy. Since she deprived him of an opportunity to advance, he was currently trash-talking her in his heart.    

"I'm sorry that I forcefully took over the Hidden Dragon Pavilion while you guys were cultivating. So, consider these three pills as compensation for your troubles." Dongfang Yun'er's voice was soft and clear, and she spoke with a sincere attitude.    

She waved her hand, and a jade bottle appeared in her hand. After that, she took out three pills, wrapped them each with spiritual power, and sent one each to them.    

Chu Zhongtian received the pill with an expressionless face, but his heart was experiencing a tempestuous storm. Just now, Dongfang Yun'er waved her hand, and a jade bottle appeared in her hand. He was sure that she had something called the storage bag about which he had read in the Chu Family's library.    

A storage bag was a spatial spirit tool since it had an entirely independent space inside. Based on the materials used during the refinement process and the strength of the person refining it, the size of a storage bag could vary. The larger ones had more than a hundred cubic meters inside, and the smaller ones were about four or five cubic meters.    

In the Eternal Continent, spatial spirit tools were scarce. Only those with great strength and background could possess such a spatial spirit tool.    

Even the four great families of the Qi Country did not have a single storage bag. This was just how obviously precious a spatial spirit tool was.    

Apart from the storage bag, Chu Zhongtian was also shocked by the girl's strength.    

From the outside, this girl looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old. However, she was already a peak Level-10 Qi Refiner, and since her cultivation base was very stable, her utilization of spiritual power had reached a very high level.    

This was the first time Chu Zhongtian had seen someone with such terrifying strength among his peers.    

After leaving the Hidden Dragon Pavilion with Chu Yuping, Chu Zhongtian took a look at the pill in his hand, and a trace of joy flashed across the corner of his eyes. This was an intermediate Level-9 Spirit Nourishing Pill.    

A Spirit Nourishing Pill could purify spiritual power and increase strength.    

Actually, even the Chu Family's resident alchemist could refiner this pill, but the two main ingredients of this pill were very hard to come by. Therefore, the Chu Family did not have a single Spirit Nourishing Pill.    

Although a single Spirit Nourishing Pill couldn't help Chu Zhongtian much, he could just use his “copy-paste” ability to make it rain pills. Thinking about swimming in a sea of spirit Nourishing Pills, his anger died down a bit.    

After leaving the palace, Liu Yongjun didn't say anything for a while before he suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Chu Zhongtian, now that you can't cultivate inside the pavilion for three days, is the fight still on?"    

Ever since he left the Hidden Dragon Pavilion, Chu Zhongtian's attention had been on the middle-aged woman. So, only when Liu Yongjun called him did he remember that Liu Yongjun was also here.    

His calm eyes narrowed, and his expression became very serious. Finally, he could see the advancements Li Yongjun had made. Not only was he in Level-8 now, but he was a peak Level-8 Qi Refiner.    

With Liu Yonhjun's comprehension ability, he only had to consolidate his cultivation base for a while, and then he would be ready for another advancement.    

Once he became a Level-9 Qi Refiner, his potential and bloodline atavism could help him fight a peak Level-10 Qi Refiner.    

On the other hand, Chu Zhongtian was just a peak Level-6 Qi Refiner now. Since he could jump levels and challenge those above his level, he could at most defeat those two minor levels above him. Even if he used the force, he could only fight an early Level-10 Qi Refiner.    

Although his current strength was not as strong as Liu Yongjun's, Chu Zhongtian quickly converted the pressure into motivation. Therefore, he said firmly, "8th of March, I will wait for you at the top of Yuloong Mountain on time!"    

After saying that, Chu Zhongtian left the palace with Chu Yuping.    

Chu Family, meeting hall:    

After learning why Chu Zhongtian and the others had returned to their families in advance, Chu Tianyun sighed helplessly.    

The situation Chu Zhongtian had encountered wasn't something he could handle. Putting aside the Heavenly Dragon Empire's might, he wasn't even a match for that middle-aged woman. Therefore, it was simply impossible for him to seek justice for Chu Zhongtian.    

Chu Zhongtian had already expected this, so he was not disappointed. He looked for Chu Tianyun because he wanted to find out why the people of the Heavenly Dragon Empire would come to the remote Qi Country. Also, he was very interested in that young girl.    

'Dongfang Yun'er...'    

After Chu Tianyun's introduction, Chu Zhongtian finally found out that the young girl with a fairy-like temperament was called Dongfang Yun'er. She was the fifth princess of the Heavenly Dragon Empire. Chu Zhongtian finally understood how she could become a Level-10 Qi Refiner despite being so young.    

With a mid Level-7 talent and the backing of the entire Heavenly Dragon Empire, it was actually surprising that she wasn't already a Body Refiner.    

Since his family couldn't seek justice for him, Chu Zhongtian could only return to his courtyard helplessly.    

Fortunately, although he couldn't become a Level-7 Qi Refiner, Chu Yuping was lucky enough to breakthrough. He became the sixth peak expert to become a Level-7 Qi Refiner in the Qi Country's younger generation. Also, he could be ranked fourth among all the Level-7 Qi Refiners.
