Increase strength

On the other side, ever since Evil Young Master killed Ao Tong, his Power had been expanding rapidly, like a balloon being inflated.

Powers with a Martial Venerable looked down upon such petty squabbles by Evil Young Master, and as long as Evil Young Master did not touch the Foundation of their own Power, they did not interfere.

After all, a Martial Venerable was the pillar of a Family, and it was impossible to mobilize them for every little matter.

Moreover, a Martial Venerable also needed to Cultivate. Although Evil Young Master made a huge commotion, he knew his limits and understood which Powers he could provoke and which ones he absolutely must not touch.

As for those Powers without a Martial Venerable holding the fort, for a time, everyone felt endangered.

Even Ao Tong, who was at the Peak of the Martial Emperor realm, had died; below the Martial Venerable realm, who was Evil Young Master's match?

Across the entire continent, legends of Evil Young Master were now circulating, and for a time, his reputation soared.

Many Martial Artists did not care whether Evil Young Master belonged to a demonic faction; they only knew that following Evil Young Master meant having great strength, and that he was vaguely considered the number one among Martial Emperors. They admired him greatly, and some even traveled thousands of miles just to join Evil Young Master's ranks.

Evil Young Master also turned no one away; as long as they were Martial Artists, regardless of their character or purpose, he accepted them all.

Coupled with his overbearing methods, those Martial Artists who joined voluntarily and those who were captured and forced to join were all willing to obey his orders.

For a time, the entire Great Xia Dynasty was in turmoil.

Meanwhile, the Qin Ming Secret Realm seemed unaware of these changes and continued to develop peacefully.

In the Alchemy Room, Qin Ming sat on a chair, drinking tea with a bitter expression.

He felt immense pressure; Evil Young Master was developing rapidly and would certainly squeeze the living space of Shadow.

When Shadow was squeezed out of the entire Great Xia Dynasty, he would become blind; unless he could become a Martial Venerable, he would be completely trapped in the Secret Realm.

He had never felt so stifled before.

"What is going on? Why is the hidden dragon grass unable to release its medicinal effects?"

Sipping his tea, Qin Ming tapped his fingers on the table, deep in thought.

"That's not right. I have basically tried all the methods. Based on my previous experience in creating Medicinal Pills, even if I cannot succeed now, there should at least be some progress. It is impossible to be this passive; there must be something I am doing wrong."

"Could it be that the hidden dragon grass simply cannot be used to research new Medicinal Pills, and it cannot be used as a primary ingredient at all?"

Afterward, Qin Ming shook his head again; that was simply impossible.

Any spirit plant could be used as a primary ingredient.

"Forget it. This might be a dead end. Now I should think about how to deal with Evil Young Master's Power; even if I cannot deal with him completely, suppressing him would be good."

Qin Ming abandoned the annoying research on the new Medicinal Pill and began to look for other alternatives, as the research on the new Medicinal Pill seemed to have hit a dead end with no hope in sight.

"To suppress Evil Young Master's Power, one way is to directly research a new Medicinal Pill, have Shadow track his location, and destroy his Power.

The second way is to strengthen my own side's Power; even if I cannot deploy Shadow, I can still destroy Evil Young Master's forces in a head-on confrontation."

Qin Ming began to analyze. He could indeed defeat Evil Young Master, but Evil Young Master was constantly in hiding.

Even if he appeared occasionally, he would vanish as soon as he appeared.

Qin Ming also did not dare to send Martial Artists to intercept Evil Young Master's Power; Evil Young Master treated the lives of the Martial Artists under his command as worthless, but Qin Ming could not do the same.

Even if ten of Evil Young Master's men died for every one of his own, he would still feel it was not worth it.

"It seems I must increase my own side's strength. Currently, the fastest way to increase strength is through Medicinal Pills." Qin Ming reached a conclusion.
