The Journey of Projection Upgrading
Chapter 173: Pre-Natal Entry

All the actions of the Patriarch of the White Family here were observed by them, and they paid special attention throughout.

So they remembered very clearly that the Patriarch of the White Family did not have any chance or action to swallow the elixir.

Since he did not swallow it when he was here, he had already swallowed the elixir before they acted, ready to come and wait for them to come to him.

Even before this celebration took place, the other party had already made preparations.

This is really something.

The Blood Reversal Pill is a unique miraculous pill. It requires extremely strict conditions to refine, and only a few alchemists can refine it, which is extremely rare.

And the effect of this thing is also very obvious, it can quickly increase strength and erupt with extraordinary combat power within a few hours.

The effect is very obvious.

But the price, of course, is also very obvious.

Once swallowed, it basically means ten years of lifespan gone.

Top-notch life-shortening effect.

This is also because the Patriarch of the White Family is young and strong. Otherwise, if someone else swallows the pill, they might die after the effect wears off.

A typical desperate good medicine.

"You already knew we were going to make a move?"

Someone looked at Bai Li incredulously, seeming to find it very unbelievable.

"Of course,"

Facing the expressions of these people, Bai Li sighed silently, "I'm not a fool, of course I can guess that someone would be unfriendly and ready to make a move."

"I just didn't expect that this time, so many fish would be hooked."

He looked around, surveyed the surroundings, and a sigh of regret appeared on his face, "There are ten Qi Masters here. I'm afraid that most of the Qi Masters from Shang Yuan County are here."

"You are really flattering me."

"But it's also good."

As he spoke, a smile appeared on his face, "Take advantage of this opportunity to catch you all in one fell swoop, and prevent you from lurking afterwards."

"Otherwise, if you obey and behave, I might find it a bit difficult to take action against you."

His indifferent words fell all around, making everyone's faces look extremely ugly.

They originally thought that the White Family's enthusiastic summoning, even actively inviting them to participate in the celebration, was careless and underestimated, and they never thought anyone would dare to make a move.

As a result, they never expected that the White Family had set up a trap deliberately to lure out all these potentially dangerous individuals.

This is a fishing law!

And unfortunately, they took the bait.

"After you leave, the affairs of Shang Yuan will be under the control of my White Family."

Bai Li's face showed a faint smile, "I have to thank you all for your cooperation."

"You..."

Someone couldn't help but feel angry and disapprove of his arrogant attitude, "Bai Li, after taking the Blood Reversal Pill, your lifespan is doomed to be short-lived. Sooner or later, you will come down to accompany us!"

No matter what, the damage of the Blood Reversal Pill to the body is real.

A Qi Master's lifespan is only a hundred years, even if the Patriarch of the White Family is still strong at the moment, he cannot withstand too much consumption.

From a normal point of view, even if they are dealt with, the Patriarch of the White Family will probably not live long.

"What about it?"

The Patriarch of the White Family immediately smiled, looking indifferent, "Under normal circumstances, it is naturally so."

"But with the Pure Spirit Flower here, it can make up for my deficiency and even go further."

His expression gradually became indifferent, "When I advance to the Pre-Natal stage, break the barrier, these ten-odd years of lifespan won't amount to much."

Yes, there is also the Pure Spirit Flower.

The Patriarch of the White Family's cultivation is only one step away from the Pre-Natal stage.

As long as he has the Pure Spirit Flower in hand, his chances of advancing to the Pre-Natal stage will be greatly increased.

Even if his body withers away, he can still regain vitality in the end.

People all around were utterly hopeless.

This celebration, which seemed like a great opportunity, turned out to be a trap deliberately set up by the White Family.

It was meant to catch all these potential troublemakers.

After all, nowadays, everything needs to be done in a reputable way.

If they take the initiative, there will still be some problems, not only in terms of reputation, but also in the risk of arousing public outrage and being targeted by outside forces.

But setting a trap for these people to take the initiative, that would be much more convenient.

After all, it is them who initiated the attack, and we are just retaliating, right?

It's all part of the plan.

Casually suppressing the few opponents in front of him, Bai Li continued forward, ready to suppress the remaining Qi Masters one by one.

During this process, some people had the thought of escaping.

But the other elders of the White Family were not dead, and they were all fighting hard now.

Compared to the Patriarch of the White Family, who was a tough guy, the other elders of the White Family were quite weak, each of them being just ordinary in terms of their Qi Master level.

But no matter how weak they were, they were still Qi Masters, and they could still cling to their opponents when fighting desperately.

Even those with stronger strength needed some time to break free from them.

And this small gap was enough for the Patriarch of the White Family to take action and suppress the remaining few.

"What a great play."

Chen An looked at everything with interest.

The current development was unexpected to him.

He thought that the White Family had let their guard down, so they allowed the enemy to enter.

But looking at the situation now, it was clear that they had planned this and set it up intentionally.

As for why they didn't inform Chen An?

Probably because they still didn't trust him, so they were afraid he would leak the information.

On this point, Chen An remained calm in his heart and didn't think much of it.

After all, he wouldn't say it either.

Such confidential information should be known to as few people as possible.

In fact, thinking to the extreme, it's possible that even the other elders of the White Family didn't know the information.

After all, just now, the surprised and frightened expressions on the faces of the White Family elders did not seem fake.

The Patriarch of the White Family had probably managed this on his own.

From this perspective, he was indeed a tough guy.

Unfortunately.

Chen An looked towards the sky, already looking forward to the unfolding of the situation.

Because if what Liang Yao said was accurate, there would be the arrival of a Pre-Natal Master in this changing situation.

Once a Pre-Natal Master appeared, the situation would be different.

The Patriarch of the White Family was indeed formidable, but in Chen An's view, he couldn't be as formidable as a Pre-Natal Master.

The gap between Qi Master and Pre-Natal Master is too large.

Let's see how the situation evolves.

Whispering to himself, Chen An flashed this thought in his mind.

The situation in front of him was still changing dramatically.

The Patriarch of the White Family made a reckless move, easily suppressing the remaining Qi Masters with a wave of his hand.

This terrifying strength made people take notice.

To have such amazing display of power, the effect of the Blood Reversal Pill was undoubtedly important, but the Patriarch of the White Family's own strength was also not to be underestimated.

After all, no matter how strong the enhancement was, it was futile without a solid foundation.

Before this, the Patriarch of the White Family had most likely already reached the half-step Pre-Natal level, just one step away from Pre-Natal.

It was this strength, combined with the Blood Reversal Pill, that had likely already given rise to his terrifying power.

Being able to suppress ten Qi Masters, his current strength might not even be much weaker than a Pre-Natal Master in some aspects.

Of course, this was just a comparison, and in reality, his combat power was still far inferior.

"Supress these people and then deal with them later."

After suppressing the last Qi Master, the Patriarch of the White Family spoke coldly.

"Yes."

Everyone nodded around him, looking at the Patriarch of the White Family with awe in their eyes.

The eyes of all the White Family members were full of admiration, almost treating this Patriarch as a deity at this moment.

The ten Qi Masters just now could already represent most of the power within Shang Yuan County.

To put it bluntly, this power might be even stronger than the forces controlled by the Emperor of Da Liang.

But despite this, they were easily suppressed by the Patriarch of the White Family.

How could this power not be considered crazy?

Even the other White Family elders couldn't help but show fear and looked at the Patriarch of the White Family.

Previously, during the ten Qi Masters' siege, they didn't feel anything, even with such a large formation.

But now when facing a Pre-Natal Master, they couldn't help but retreat.

There was no way around it, people are known by the company they keep.

Faced with the power of a Pre-Natal Master, the elders of the White Family had all heard of it to some extent, considering themselves knowledgeable.

Since they understood the opponent's strength, fear was inevitable.

The Patriarch of the White Family's elders were now somewhat regretful.

They still remembered Chen An's advice.

At that time, they didn't take it seriously, thinking that with the White Family's power, even if all the noble families in Shang Yuan County attacked together, they would have the ability to deal with it. But now, facing a Pre-Natal Master, they couldn't help but hesitate.

There was nothing they could do; the tree is known by its fruit.

It seems that they became aware of the situation only after the crisis had passed.

"Who are you, sir?"

The Patriarch of the White Family dragged his heavy body, his gaze fixed on the old man in front of him, and asked in a deep voice.

"Leader, you are too polite. I am surnamed Ning, with a single name - Ming."

In front of the Patriarch of the White Family, the old man in simple clothing looked very polite, matching the rustic look on his face, making him appear kind and approachable.

But listening to his words, everyone's heart sank.

Ning Ming, this name was not just an ordinary name.

In this world, there are Heaven, Earth, and People Rankings.

The People Ranking counts the young and talented individuals.

The Earth Ranking is for the Qi Masters.

As for the Heaven Ranking, it is about the Pre-Natal Masters.

Anyone who ranks in the Heaven Ranking is mostly a Pre-Natal level figure.

And Ning Ming's name is listed in the Heaven Ranking.

In other words, he is a true Pre-Natal Master.

This was a critical situation.

The elders of the White Family felt fear, their eyes falling on the Patriarch of the White Family.

Just a while ago, while facing ten Qi Masters, they didn't think much of it. Even with such a massive momentum, it was all over now.

But now, facing a Pre-Natal Master, they couldn't help but want to retreat.

Unfortunately, the news about the Pre-Natal Master's arrival was not passed on to them on time.

The heavy pressure swept in and pressed upon them, crossing over each person's chest.

Before them, a figure slowly emerged.

The figure looked very old, the whole body was not tall, at least much shorter than the Patriarch of the White Family.

He was dressed in a black robe, looking very frail and old. At first glance, he seemed like an ordinary old man, even his eyes were very muddy and filled with spots.

If this old man was seen elsewhere, most likely 8 or 9 out of 10 people would take him for an ordinary passerby and ignore him.

But it was such an old man who had just completely defeated the Patriarch of the White Family, even causing him to be seriously injured.

This was quite unusual.

The situation that had to come finally arrived.

Watching this scene, Chen An sighed silently.

On the old man's body, he felt a familiar atmosphere.

That was the unique aura of a Pre-Natal Master, very special, different from the Qi Masters.

In other words, the old man standing in front of him was a genuine Pre-Natal Master.

This was definitely beyond the scope of expectations.

Just now, the battle seemed fierce, with ten Qi Masters appearing one after another, but they were still within the Qi Master level.

But now, a Pre-Natal Master directly appeared.

Furthermore, the opponent didn't make a move too early or too late, choosing to strike when the effects of the Blood Reversal Pill were about to wear off, and the Patriarch of the White Family was weakened.

He was indeed a cunning old fox.

Seeing this, most likely he had been hiding nearby all along, observing the situation from various angles.

Just like Chen An and the others.

"Who are you, sir?"

The Patriarch of the White Family stared at the old man, trying to discern his identity.

The atmosphere was tense, with everyone holding their breath as they awaited the unexpected outcome.

Actually, that's how it is.

Relying on the terrifying strength of the Patriarch of the White Family, even if ten Qi Masters attacked together, it was still effortless, and he emerged victorious in the end.

Seeing the Patriarch advancing to the Pre-Natal stage, dominating the entire Shang Yuan County was within reach, unexpectedly a real Pre-Natal Master appeared.

This was dumbfounding.

If they had known that a Pre-Natal Master would really appear at this celebration, they would never have waited until this moment.

They would have taken the Pure Spirit Flower long ago.

The elders were filled with regret.

But at this point, regret seemed to be useless.

The other party clearly came for the Pure Spirit Flower.

"Would the clan leader be willing to give up the flower?"

Ning Ming spoke up, his face showing some apology, "I am already old and have little life left. The Pure Spirit Flower could extend my life. Would you be willing to give it up?"

"As compensation, I am willing to make an exchange, you can ask for whatever you want."

The Patriarch of the White Family's expression changed, his hands and feet were twitching by now.

What did this mean?

You are old and need the Pure Spirit Flower to extend your life, does that mean he no longer needs it?

He had just swallowed the Blood Reversal Pill, and without the Pure Spirit Flower to replenish his lifespan, he would likely be in trouble.

If someone dared to say this in front of him, he would probably punch them right away.

But in the face of a true Pre-Natal Master, even the tough guy like the Patriarch of the White Family hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Since the senior needs it, the junior will offer it with both hands."

"However."

He paused, hesitated for a moment before speaking again, "The junior has just swallowed the Blood Reversal Pill and also needs the Pure Spirit Flower to extend his life"

"How about this. We split this Pure Spirit Flower in half, with one half each, the senior can take one half and leave. Would that be acceptable?"

In the end, the Patriarch of the White Family made a concession.

There was no other choice. If he didn't, the other party would probably teach him a lesson.

A fist is the law, in a situation where he was outmatched, he could only compromise.

Although he only had half of the Pure Spirit Flower, he would most likely still be able to undergo this transformation.

It's just that people like Bai Changming may not be able to benefit from it.

But at this point, people like Bai Changming were no longer important.

After all, with the Patriarch's life at stake, he couldn't spare a thought for his son.

The Patriarch considered he had made a concession, but unfortunately, the other party was not appreciative.

"No."

Ning Ming smiled, a kind smile on his old face, looking very approachable.

But his words made people involuntarily clench their fists.
