The Strongest Family In The Ages

Da Zhou Imperial Palace, Ziwei Hall.

A person dressed in a dragon robe with nine strands of dragon energy coiling around them, stood with their hands behind their back, their imposing aura making it unclear what they were thinking.

"Your... Your Majesty, this subordinate deserves death, please punish me!"

A general dressed in armor entered Ziwei Hall and immediately knelt down to plead for forgiveness.

If Li Daoxuan were here, he would definitely recognize this general as the one who was searching for the Red Lotus.

"Haven't found her?"

"I lost track of her!" The general lowered his head and spoke softly.

The Emperor of Da Zhou calculated with his fingers, his expression becoming somewhat strange, but no one noticed his change in expression.

"Sigh! Forget it, there's no need to search anymore."

"You may leave and accept your punishment!"

"Yes! This subordinate takes his leave."

Once again, only one person remained in Ziwei Hall. The man in the dragon robe muttered to himself, "This Red Lotus girl is too... mischievous. She has quietly returned to the imperial city."

.....

Xuan You King's Mansion, outside a secret chamber, Ji Mingyue anxiously waited.

"It's been so long, why hasn't Father come out yet?"

"Could something have happened to Father?"

"......"

Recently, Ji Mingyue had been under immense pressure. Her father's cultivation had encountered a problem, something she dared not tell anyone.

If news were to leak, the entire Xuan You King's Mansion could face a catastrophe.

Heaven showed mercy, and she finally found a way to cure her father.

"I hope it works!"

Ji Mingyue kept praying, recalling Li Daoxuan's resolute appearance, deciding to wait a little longer.

Boom! Bang!

The stone door of the secret chamber exploded, and then a figure resembling a demon slowly walked out.

Although the footsteps were slow, the steady and powerful sound of the footsteps brought joy to Ji Mingyue's heart.

Father had come out!

Just from the sound of his steady and powerful footsteps, she knew that his body should be fine.

"Father, you've come out of seclusion?"

"How is it? Did those pills work?"

"Is your body better? Please speak, don't scare me, wuwu~"

Xuan You King's imposing aura suddenly converged, and he looked at his daughter with gentle eyes.

"Mingyue, my good daughter, you've suffered."

"Father~"

Ji Mingyue couldn't hold back any longer and threw herself into the embrace of the middle-aged man who resembled a demon, bursting into tears.

Xuan You King understood that his daughter had endured a lot of hardship.

In such a large mansion, Ji Mingyue not only had to support the entire household, but also secretly search for medicinal herbs and pills.

"My good daughter! Stop crying, Father's body is completely fine now."

"Really?" Ji Mingyue's teary eyes brightened.

"Of course! I wouldn't dare deceive my precious daughter."

"Phew! That's great."

Xuan You King patted his daughter's back and asked, "By the way, my good daughter, which grandmaster alchemist did you find?"

"This pill is so effective, I only took one and all my problems with demonic cultivation were resolved."

"What surprised me even more was that many old injuries from years ago have also improved significantly."

Princess Mingyue's eyes lit up, then she thought of something and blushed, whispering, "I met an alchemist in the imperial city."

"Really?"

King Xuan You gazed at his daughter intently, as if trying to discern something.

"The imperial city? It's been a while since I last went to the imperial city."

"Very well! I will go to the imperial city and personally express my gratitude to the grand alchemy master."

Mingyue felt a little embarrassed and asked, "Father, you want to go to the capital?"

"Yes."

Mingyue had a strange feeling, but she did not oppose her father's decision.

In the imperial city of Da Zhou, in the central area of the Emperor Xing City, the main square was packed with people. Li Daoxuan and his group had a hard time squeezing in.

The final round of the Daoist Conference had begun!

In order to allow more people to watch the finals, the five major categories of competitions were not held simultaneously.

The finals lasted for five days, and the first day's event was alchemy.

"Please welcome the alchemists who have entered the finals!" The host was a young and beautiful female cultivator.

The venue had already been set up, with one side for the alchemists to practice alchemy, and the other side for the ten judges, who were all high-ranking officials from the three major dynasties.

One by one, the alchemists confidently stepped onto the stage. They all had some common characteristics:

Young! Confident! Arrogant!

Indeed, it was impressive for them to become alchemists at such a young age.

These were all fourth-rank alchemists. Alchemist competitions were also divided into different levels. Otherwise, it would be unfair to pit high-rank alchemists against low-rank alchemists.

Li Daoxuan also saw so many people practicing alchemy for the first time.

He was curious about how their alchemy techniques differed from his own.

The host had already started confirming the participants, and Li Daoxuan was watching the excitement from below when he suddenly heard someone calling his name.

"Is Li Daoxuan from the Great Zhou Dynasty here?"

Li Daoxuan was taken aback. The competition was for fourth-rank alchemists, and they wanted him to participate? Wasn't this bullying?

"Is Li Daoxuan here?"

Honglian smirked and shouted, "Here! He's right here."

She even pointed at Li Daoxuan, leaving him speechless. This girl was really causing trouble.

"Please welcome Fellow Daoist Li to the stage!"

Li Daoxuan was about to refuse, but he was pushed by someone and flew onto the stage.

There were already people whispering below:

"Is this guy chickening out? If he doesn't dare to compete, he should just give up."

"..."

This scene happened to be seen by two people, Princess Mingyue and her father, King Xuan You.

Mingyue was praising Li Daoxuan, but then she saw him being pushed onto the stage.

King Xuan You's mouth twitched. "Is this the alchemy master you were talking about?"

"Cough! Father, just keep watching. Brother Li will definitely surprise you."

After Li Daoxuan stepped onto the stage, he explained, "Actually, I'm not a fourth-rank alchemist. If I participate in this competition, I'm afraid it will discourage the geniuses here."

"Tsk!"

"Why are you talking nonsense? If you can't do it, just admit defeat."

Li Daoxuan's words angered everyone. Who among them was not a genius? Who didn't have a temper?

In the end, Li Daoxuan sat down and pondered. He hadn't made a fourth-rank pill in a long time.

What pill should he make?

In fact, there were no specific restrictions on the competition. They could make any pill they wanted.

Li Daoxuan thought for a long time, not knowing what pill to make. Making a fourth-rank pill would really lower his value.

The competition had already begun, and many people had started making pills.

Only Li Daoxuan sat there motionless, causing everyone to start discussing again, wondering what Li Daoxuan was doing.

"Why not just show off a little?"

After thinking for a long time, Li Daoxuan finally came up with a pill. He waved his hand, and no one saw what medicinal materials he had chosen.

Then, a scene that surprised everyone unfolded.
