Chapter 795: Successfully Crafted the Heaven and Earth Spirit Communication Pill, Become the Head of the Family!

The Shi Family members had already moved to the main hall.

They had been waiting for most of the day. It was already dark, yet Shi Miaomiao and the others still hadn’t come out.

Shi Qian sat there, exchanging several glances with his wife and son, feeling more and more assured and pleased.

The fact that they hadn’t seen anyone yet clearly meant that Shi Miaomiao had failed to recreate the formula for the Heaven and Earth Spirit Communication Pill!

Shi Qian stood up and said, "Since Miaomiao can’t make the pill, why waste any more time? I’ll go and bring her out."

The elders of the Shi Family did not stop him. They too had grown impatient.

As expected, their hopes had been too high.

Shi Honghong clenched his fists and said angrily, "Second Uncle, why are you in such a hurry? Big Sister has only been in there for less than a day! Don’t you know that it’s normal for a pill refinement to take ten to eight days, or even ten years or more!"

Shi Qian snorted, "Ten years or more? The Shi Family cannot go a single day without a leader. Are we really supposed to wait for her?"

The Second Lady of the Shi Family naturally supported her husband, nodding in agreement, "That’s right. Since Miaomiao is in seclusion to perfect the pill, why don’t we let Second Master take over as the head of the family? Isn’t that the perfect solution?"

As soon as she spoke, Shi Qian’s faction voiced their support. Those who supported Shi Miaomiao immediately began arguing with them.

The main hall became chaotic, noisy, and disorganized.

Shi Qian did not hold back. He immediately released a surge of spiritual power to silence the crowd.

Then, he coldly spoke, "My cultivation is not lacking, and my alchemy talent is exceptional. Respecting me as the head of the family is the correct choice!"

Since Shi Miaomiao didn’t know when she would come out, he seized the opportunity to take control of the Shi Family.

He signaled to his men, who had already surrounded the entrance, ready to take action.

Shi Honghong was not a fool. He quickly understood that Shi Qian was planning to use force.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Second Uncle, do you intend to force us with violence? Fine, we’re not afraid!"

Although he shouted like that, he took several steps back and waved his hand. "For Big Sister, we fight!"

The fight was about to break out.

Shi Qian’s eyes gleamed with cold light, and his palm gathered spiritual power.

He dashed forward, intending to strike Shi Honghong with a palm that could kill him.

This way, Shi Miaomiao would surely be devastated and unable to recover!

Shi Honghong was shocked. He had never expected Second Uncle to be so cruel.

The force was overwhelming, and Shi Honghong couldn’t dodge. He could only brace himself to take the blow.

He had already anticipated that he might not die, but he would be severely injured. In that life-or-death moment, he regretted not having trained harder before.

It was too late.

Even so, he used all his spiritual power to try to defend against the palm.

But unexpectedly, a warm current passed through his back, flowing straight into his hand.

Shi Honghong froze for a moment.

It was spiritual power!

And it was strong and fierce!

With this power, he struck Shi Qian back, sending him flying.

The Second Lady of the Shi Family was startled and rushed to catch her husband.

But before Shi Qian could stabilize himself, he coughed up blood, staining the floor red.

He clutched his chest and looked up.

Somene was standing behind Shi Honghong.

It was the woman from earlier.

Shi Honghong turned his head and said with joy, "Master!"

Nanli rolled her eyes, and didn’t bother to correct him.

The Second Lady of the Shi Family became enraged, "You dared to injure my husband? You’re asking for death!"

She tried to take action for revenge.

But Shi Miaomiao had arrived and immediately kicked her away.

Their son, Shi Taotao, saw this and was furious. "You dare kick my mother? Don’t you know the respect due to your elders?"

He took a step forward, but Shi Miaomiao swiftly dashed over and slapped him, knocking him over.

The move was swift, clean, and fierce.

Shi Qian and his family were helpless, and those who supported them dared not act rashly.

"Big Sister, you’re awesome!" Shi Honghong shouted, waving his hand.

Shi Qian’s face grew darker, and his voice became hoarse, "Miaomiao, do you have no respect for your elders and relatives? You actually attacked your elders!"

Shi Miaomiao glanced at him coldly, "Who started this first? Second Uncle, you just tried to kill me. Don’t think I didn’t notice."

Shi Qian denied it, saying, "Miaomiao, you misunderstood."

But his eyes flickered with a dark glint, and he then asked, "So you’ve come out so quickly. Does that mean you’ve given up on refining the Heaven and Earth Spirit Communication Pill? Miaomiao, I’m not saying this to criticize you, but if you can’t do it, just say so. Why waste everyone’s time?"

Shi Miaomiao gave a cold smile, "I’m sorry to disappoint Second Uncle."

With that, she took out a small brocade box.

Opening it, three medium-quality Heaven and Earth Spirit Communication Pills lay inside.

The fragrance of the pills wafted through the air.

Everyone was stunned.

Shi Qian’s family almost couldn’t believe their eyes, "How... how is this possible?!"

To think, he had spent his entire life’s efforts but still failed to come up with a proper formula and could only make a pill that looked vaguely similar.

Why?

Why could Shi Miaomiao succeed and even refine them successfully?!

No, it had to be fake!

Shi Qian thought of this and immediately shouted, "Miaomiao, these pills are fake, right?"

He didn’t care about his injuries and rushed to check them.

These pills had been painstakingly crafted by Shi Miaomiao, and she held them close, protecting them from Shi Qian’s prying hands.

The Shi Family elders also gathered around, examining the pills carefully.

They cautiously compared them, even tasting them to ensure they were correct.

Everyone craned their necks, waiting for the result.

Finally, even Shi Qian had to admit that these were indeed Heaven and Earth Spirit Communication Pills!

They were not fake!

His heart immediately twisted in jealousy and resentment, all kinds of emotions flooding in. He stared at Shi Miaomiao with a look of venom.

"It really is the Heaven and Earth Spirit Communication Pill!"

"Shi Family’s rise is just around the corner!"

"Miss Miaomiao has crafted the Heaven and Earth Spirit Communication Pill; she should be the head of the family!"

In the main hall, many people bowed and cupped their hands, calling her the head of the family.

Shi Miaomiao’s face was full of smiles.

At last, she had lived up to her father’s expectations and made it this far.

Cultivators all respect the strong, and Pill Cultivators are no exception.

Even those from Shi Qian’s faction, seeing Shi Miaomiao’s power, were shaken in their hearts.

Many had already begun to bow to her, recognizing her as the new head of the family.

Shi Miaomiao stood with her hands behind her back, a confident smile on her face. She turned to Shi Qian and said, "Second Uncle, I’ve successfully crafted the Heaven and Earth Spirit Communication Pill. Do you still think I’m unqualified to be the head of the family?"

Shi Qian’s face turned pale.

Of course, she was qualified, but he knew that by yielding today, it wasn’t just him but his son who would also lose their chance to rise!

He steeled his heart and devised a sinister plan.

Step by step, he approached Shi Miaomiao, a smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"How could I think that? Miaomiao, you’ve done so well. As your second uncle, I’m happy for you," he said, walking toward her.

As he reached her, just when he was about to bow in greeting and acknowledge her as the head of the family, a needle shot out from his ring, aiming at Shi Miaomiao!
