I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, So I’ll Max Out My Defense

Chapter 273: 274 Collective Dan Explosion

The words were no sooner out than the cultivators present trembled to the core.Thê sourc𝗲 of this conte/nt n/o/v/(𝒆l)bi((n))

Looking at Li Xiaobai with a malicious smile on his face, and then at the huge hammer in his hand, they seemed to understand something.

“Li Xiaobai, you wouldn’t dare!”

“Elders, this guy is clearly trying to sabotage our alchemy, please make a ruling, elders, and punish him severely!”

Gazing at the enormous hammer, the cultivators’ complexions quivered.

Chaotic Wind Hammer Technique?

Just hearing the name, one could tell it wasn’t anything good. Merely smashing once had already caused many cultivators’ elixirs to explode—what would happen if he used the hammer technique? None of the elixirs being refined by those present would be complete.

“Boy, do not think that a little cultivation level allows you to act with impunity. I know who you are, the favorite of Elder Tianwu from the Northern Region, aren’t you? I advise you to be kind; the Elixir Sect is not to be trifled with by just anyone, not even if Elder Tianwu himself were here!”

“Some people should not be offended, young man. You’d better stick to alchemy. With the remaining time, perhaps you could still produce some decent elixirs.”

Elder Yao said indifferently.

As for the Chaotic Wind Hammer Technique mentioned by Li Xiaobai, he was also uncertain about its effect; he could ignore it once or twice, but if Li Xiaobai kept up the disturbance, he could not guarantee that the quality of his elixirs would remain unaffected.

The Elders of the Elixir Sect seemed determined to wait until the incense candle burned down before making a decision, deciding to first stabilize the situation.

Unfortunately, Li Xiaobai turned a deaf ear, turning to Liu Fei, who was shivering beside him, and asked, “How is the elixir refining coming along?”

“Almost done, but it’s only fourth grade.”

Liu Fei said somewhat embarrassingly.

“Enough, stuff your ears, what’s coming up might be a bit intense.”

“Heehee, boy, hit it hard!” Ji Wuqing exclaimed excitedly.

“Alright, seniors, watch closely, ancient alchemy, Chaotic Wind Hammer Technique!”

Li Xiaobai held the hammer in both hands, hoisted it above his head, and slammed it down on the Enlightenment Tea Leaves.

Clang!

The intense concussion and buzzing sound pierced the eardrums of many cultivators.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

A few explosions sounded, and another batch of unlucky alchemists watched their elixirs burst, filling the area with smoke and dust. But before they could react, another loud noise resonated from the center.

Li Xiaobai hammered the Enlightenment Tea Leaves crazily; every strike brought with it the loud sound of exploding elixirs, smoke rising everywhere, and infuriated cultivators with bloodshot eyes, itching to tear him apart on the spot.

The Elders of the Elixir Sect had dark expressions that seemed like they could drip water. What Chaotic Wind Hammer Technique? That young man opposite them was just striking blindly, without any technique whatsoever.

But Li Xiaobai didn’t care about any of that; he was smashing the Enlightenment Tea Leaves into pieces bit by bit. He didn’t know the first thing about any hammer technique, but mere swinging of the hammer was simple enough.

Strike after strike, the Enlightenment Tea Leaves slowly turned into fragments and powder.

Within the great hall, elixirs exploded one by one, and the cultivators were covered in soot. Liu Fei, who was off to the side, had also stopped alchemy since the grade of her elixir wasn’t too high and she had already finished.

Only Elder Yao was still persisting in the hall.

Li Xiaobai’s hammering made him feel unsettled. The noise was secondary; the key issue was that with each hammer strike, the platform he was on would shake violently. The Elixir Fire had become extremely unstable, and it was inevitable that the quality of his elixirs would decline.

He glared at Li Xiaobai with murderous intent. The other party had ruined his chance for great fame.

Seeing this, Li Xiaobai was even more amused. He swung the hammer with even more vigor, causing a constant ding-dang sound atop the high platform, while Elder Yao, with bloodshot eyes, exerted all his effort to maintain the elixirs in his hands.

“Go Elder Yao!”

“Elder Yao, it’s all on you, that youngster is too detestable!”

“Elder Yao truly is a seasoned alchemist, such a state of mind we can hardly aspire to!”

The cultivators looked at Elder Yao with eyes brimming with expectancy, as Elder Yao was the last vestige of dignity for these alchemy practitioners.

“Worry not, everyone, I shall surely make this youngster pay the price!”

A few minutes later.

A white flame shot into the sky, lifting a pill into the air as a refreshing and light fragrance pervaded the entire hall, diluting the explosive smell of gunpowder, causing the cultivators to involuntarily take a deep breath, their expressions one of indulgence.

“The pill is complete!”

“I’ve done it, a fifth-grade half pill!”

Elder Yao panted heavily while roaring in a low voice.

“Not bad, Elder Yao’s alchemy skills have improved since last year. To concoct a fifth-grade elixir under such conditions, if it was done normally, it would surely be of the sixth grade without a doubt.”

Several Elixir Sect Elders rarely showed a hint of a smile, looking at Elder Yao with eyes that vaguely betrayed their admiration. They always appreciated such individuals with a mastery of their craft.

In contrast, there was Li Xiaobai, who was still hammering away on his own.

“Li Xiaobai, the incense candle is about to be extinguished; how is your pill making going?”

“Almost there.”

Li Xiaobai spoke indifferently. He hadn’t expected that Elder Yao actually had some skills, to be able to produce a pill under the pressure of his own Chaotic Wind Hammer Technique, and the grade wasn’t low—it was indeed the work of an expert.

However, it definitely couldn’t compare with the Enlightenment Tea Pill he was about to make.

After all, a System product is guaranteed to be a fine piece.

Putting the hammer into the Space Ring, he flipped his wrist and took out a thin slice of leaf, carefully gathering the fragments of the Enlightenment Tea leaves together, rolling them up neatly, and forming the Huazi.

Watching Li Xiaobai’s actions, everyone’s expression darkened.

Their suspicions were confirmed; this fellow was doing it on purpose. While Elder Yao hadn’t finished making the elixir, the fellow was relentlessly hammering the Enlightenment Tea leaves, but as soon as Elder Yao succeeded, this guy tossed the hammer aside. They would never believe that he wasn’t deliberately targeting the alchemists present.

“Alright, my elixir is also ready. Please appraise.”

Li Xiaobai lifted the Huazi in his hand, chuckling.

“Young man, you wouldn’t be mocking us, would you?”

“Indeed, you’ve just wrapped some powdered Enlightenment Tea leaves, that thing at best might have the effects of calming the mind!”

“Elders, this youngster is definitely here to cause a disturbance, suppress him quickly!”

Looking at the item in Li Xiaobai’s hand, the cultivators’ complexions turned extremely ugly. They wouldn’t be this furious even if the opponent had produced a low-level elixir. Such a haphazard approach was simply treating them like monkeys.

Wrapping up some powdered Enlightenment Tea leaves and calling it a day; do you think this is a school assignment?

Causing trouble at the Elixir Sect’s grand competition could get someone killed, can you please take this seriously!

“Who said that elixirs must be round?”

“The so-called elixirs are merely tools to assist cultivators in improving themselves. As long as the effect is the same, what difference does it make whether it is round or square?”

“Focusing only on appearances without considering the essence makes it hard to improve. Elders, it seems you still have much to learn about the way of alchemy!”
