Condemning the Heavens

Chapter 426: 426

Xue Wei’s words caused all the soldiers to be thoroughly shocked, though . They could not imagine that Xue Wei was capable of refining Two-Colored Rainbow Pills and that he even offered to make it for them, as long as they provided the resources and a fee .

Most of them had the backing of certain clans and families behind them, so while they themselves would be unable to get their hands on the needed things, their family would be able to help them .

And if they could not get the exact things that were needed for the pill, they still had a hope that Xue Wei would be able to trade items of equal value for the pills . They had not forgotten that there were multiple breakthroughs that day, so he had to have quite a few pills at hand .

The leader of the Fire Horse Clan was gloomy . He had initially thought that he could get a treasure to advance with, but now he was told that this treasure did not exist .

He also understood the underlying tone in Xue Wei’s message, he would not give them anything in compensation, but he would make pills if they could afford his fee .

And now, he could do nothing to Xue Wei . Initially, everyone had gathered for the sake of seeing some drama, but now they were all seeing Xue Wei as if he was the real treasure because they felt that he was the key to their promotion .

If the Fire Horse Clan decided to act against him, they would stand against every other clan on the entire continent, and they were not willing to do so . They understood that, while they were amongst the highest ranked experts right now, they could quickly lose their position .

This was truly coming for wool, but going home shorn . Their plans were utterly destroyed, and Xue Wei had managed to build an impregnable defense with a mere few words .

Realizing that he would get nothing even if he stayed, the Fire Horse Patriarch flicked his sleeves and turned around to leave .

Xue Wei observed him coldly . He understood that while this man was not going to do anything directly, he could see the killing intent in the eyes of the Patriarch . He was going to act in the dark .

But even so, Xue Wei was not too scared . He understood that only with pressure could he improve, and thus he welcomed the challenge! He was aware that ever since he sat out on the path of cultivating, he would be in danger . He might die at any moment, and he had to fight for survival .

Even so, he never once regretted his decision . If he had to choose between being the unknowing young boy that was accompanying his father, and the expert he had become, he would choose the latter any time .

Although he had lost many things, he also understood that no one could get to the apex without sacrifices, and as long as they were never forgotten, as long as he was true to himself, he was not worried .

Thinking about his father, Xue Wei’s eyes darkened . He still had not understood the ins and outs of the matter with Xiao Lei killing his father . He was no longer in doubt of Xiao Lei being his real uncle, but how much enmity was there between the two of them to make it possible for Xiao Lei to kill his own brother-in-law?

Sighing, Xue Wei pushed the matter aside . He could do nothing about it with how things were now . He knew that he would not get any answers before he returned to Chang’an and confronted Xiao Lei .

Sighing, he returned to his senses, only to see that all the soldiers were looking at him with a sparkle in their eyes .

"Sir Xue, are you able to tell us which ingredients you need to refine a Two-Colored Rainbow Pill?" one of the people asked, and Xue Wei flipped his hand . Suddenly a stack of parchments appeared in his palm, and he handed them out to all of those who showed interest .

He had long since prepared and had written down the ingredients . The Two-Colored Rainbow Pill required an outstanding amount of items, and it was not cheap, but when considering the performance of the pill, all of them were willing to gather them .

"What is the fee to ask you to refine for us?" someone asked hesitatingly . When looking at the already steep price for the pill, they felt an ache in their hearts if they had to pay a high price to have it refined as well, but Xue Wei just waved his hand .

"Just get me some resources of decent value . The more pills you need, the more resources you should hand me . I guarantee that I have a hundred percent refinement rate . "

Xue Wei understood their worries . If they had to use so many resources and it failed, what were they going to do? But Xue Wei was already immensely familiar with the process of refining the pills, so he had confidence in promising a hundred percent refinement rate .

If he failed, he would just substitute the pill himself . Since this could make more people work with him .

Everyone was shocked, but soon undisguised excitement appeared in all their eyes . Everyone copied the listed ingredients, clutched the parchments in their hands, and hurried out from the army camp towards their family’s homes . Those who lived far away hurried to their residence to contact their family . This was simply like meat pies falling from the skies; they had to grasp this chance!

At the same time, Lan was looking at Xue Wei with appreciation . He had thought that this young man would be unable to solve the problem peacefully, and would have to resort to using his aura of a Sovereign Beast to pressure them, but he had not needed to do so .
