us. Master is just like this. Just do your best. With your current strength, you still have a good chance of winning the championship!"After patting Wu Xi on the shoulder, the tall young man also foll...Upon entering the valley, Chen Ping discovered that it was incredibly vast. Buildings lined the entire area, densely packed and numerous times larger than any village they had seen before.

However, what puzzled Chen Ping was that there were still many ordinary people constantly shuttling inside Yaoshengu, and quite a few children frolicking and playing, not everyone was a martial artist, nor would everyone practice alchemy.

Seeing Chen Ping's puzzled expression, Xu Changsheng explained: "Chen brother, our Yaoshenggu now has over ten thousand people, but not everyone practices martial arts, nor does everyone know how to refine pills. You could say that we are more like a large village..."

Then, Xu Changsheng told Chen Ping about the history of Yaosheng Valley, and Chen Ping realized that Yaosheng Valley was not as mysterious and terrifying as the outside world rumored.

Actually, the people of Yaosheng Valley were originally villagers who fled from war and found refuge in this valley. So they settled here and lived a peaceful life away from the world.

Although this place is secluded, it is not completely disconnected from the outside world. Gradually, some martial arts masters who are tired of worldly affairs and some Taoist practitioners who are devoted to cultivation have also found this place to live.

Soon, the people here learned martial arts and Taoism. The formation within Yaoshengu was laid down during that period, and it has been through hundreds of years.

And a hundred years ago, an old man came to the valley. The old man was skilled in medicine and drove away illness for the people in the valley. He could also refine pills that made people strong and healthy, most importantly, he could make people live longer.

Soon, many people followed the old man to learn medical arts and alchemy. Gradually, many talented people also learned excellent medical skills and alchemy techniques, and the lifespan of the people in Yaosheng Valley was extended considerably.

> At last, the old man said he was going into seclusion and disappeared without a trace. No one knows if he is dead or alive now, and the name Yaoshenggu (Medicine God Valley) came from that time onwards.

After the elder disappeared, people from the valley kept going outside to see patients and refine pills for others, earning some supplies. Some even tasted the sweetness of the outside world and chose to stay there, enjoying wealth and luxury...

Gradually, people from the outside world called this valley the Valley of the Medicine God, and the people inside the valley followed suit. This name, the Valley of the Medicine God, was not chosen intentionally.

"Mr. Chen, the rules in our valley prohibiting outsiders from entering easily are to prevent those who learn that the Valley of Medicine Gods is not as mysterious as they think from plotting against it. Otherwise, the people in the valley would be in danger..."

Yu Dong followed Chen Ping's explanation.

Chen Ping nodded. There were so many ordinary people in Yaosheng Valley, and many knew about the many elixir and miraculous medicines there. If someone truly had ill intentions, the people inside the valley would be in real danger.

Human hearts are unpredictable. Faced with immense profits, many people will lose their rationality, especially those so-called martial artists. Their desire for power surpasses that of anyone else.

Xu Changsheng led Chen Ping and the others toward a large hall in the center of the valley. The hall was built of bluestone, very large in area, over twenty meters high, the largest and tallest building in the entire valley.

"Yu Dong stopped at the entrance to the main hall and said, "Mr. Chen, you go in with the Elder. This is the Hall of the Medicine God; only those of the Elder level can enter. I'll be waiting outside..."

Chen Ping nodded and followed Xu Changsheng into the Yaoshending Temple. Inside the hall, smoke swirled, with several incense burners emitting wisps of smoke around the room. The smoke carried a faint scent of herbs, but after smelling it, it actually made people feel refreshed.

And in the very center of the main hall, there was a copper cauldron standing as tall as a man. Steam was still rising from inside it, and several people were constantly adding various herbs into it. amused and helpless. He then said, "Wait for me to break this sword formation, and we'll go in together and have a look...""Chen Ping, you have to be careful, this goddamn sword formation is really p...
