The Supreme God

Nanny Wu was Mindy's wet nurse who had been employed to feed Mindy her own breast milk when Mindy was a tiny baby, and
she was also the only person who had accompanied Mindy while running away from the Li Clan that fateful night.
After Mindy joined the Sun Sect, Nanny Wu had retired to live in this remote village.
When Nanny Wu heard that Mindy was planning to go back to Valley Town to get revenge, she couldn't help but feel worried.
Even though Mindy assured her that Austin would help her, she was still not convinced. After all, Mindy was a weak girl who
might not be able to fight against so many powerful foes, and Austin looked too young and too thin to be able to fight them too.
However, since Mindy and Austin had both already reached the Earth Realm level, Nanny Wu finally accepted Mindy's decision.
In the past when Nanny Wu lived with Mindy's family, she had heard about a few warriors and knew that the warrior of the Earth
Realm was the most powerful one in Valley Town.
To Mindy's surprise and excitement, it turned out that there were several other members of her family living in this village.
When the Zhang Clan was attacked by their enemies, many of her family members hadn't been at the scene and had managed
to escape as soon as they found out. In the past few years, Nanny Wu had secretly contacted as many of them as possible and
called them to live in this village so that they could avenge the Zhang Clan one day.
Knowing Mindy had made up her mind to get revenge, Nanny Wu called all the remaining members of the family to help Mindy.
There were 17 members in total. Eight of them were young and their cultivation bases were on the third or fourth level of Energy
Gathering Realm.
The other nine were middle-aged and their cultivation bases were on the fifth or sixth level of Energy Gathering Realm. Since
they were living as a small family in this remote village, the cultivation bases of the family members were less than impressive
because most of them were only at the level of Energy Gathering Realm. Their family master was the only one whose cultivation
base was on the level of the Earth Realm.
These 17 family members had been hiding in this remote village and working hard to improve their martial arts skills for the past
few years. They wanted to get revenge one day and rebuild their big family in Valley Town.
When they found out from Nanny Wu that Mindy had reached the level of Earth Realm, they looked at Mindy with their eyes full
of worship.

In particular, the eight young men who were of the same age and position as Mindy showed great admiration for her. A few years
ago, they had all been on the level of Energy Gathering Realm, but now, their cultivation bases were far behind Mindy's.
To avenge their dead family members, they had worked day and night for the past few years to develop their martial arts skills.
They had all made great progress. Since they were hiding in such a remote village, they hadn't been able to obtain any helpful
martial arts materials, so they'd gotten this far purely on hard work.
But their peer, Mindy, had already reached the level of Earth Realm. In the remote Valley Town, a warrior of Earth Realm was
really rare.
In the entire Zhang Clan, the master was the only one whose cultivation base had reached the Earth Realm. But it was said that
their master had been heavily wounded during the attack and had gone missing soon after. No one knew whether he was alive
or dead.
That meant that Mindy was now the most powerful person among the remaining family members, and so any hope of avenging
the Zhang Clan rested on her shoulders.
Mindy became the leader and the other 17 members stared at her with excitement and worship in their eyes.
But Mindy was just excited to see her family members again after being out of touch with them for seven years. She calmed
herself down and looked at them.
"It has been seven years since they killed our family members and it's time for us to get revenge. I've decided to go back to
Valley Town and avenge the Zhang Clan! My dear uncles, will you support me?"
Mindy turned to the respectable middle-aged men who were sitting in front of her.
"Mindy, we all agree with you and we will support you."
After learning from Nanny Wu that Mindy and the young man named Austin had both reached the level of Earth Realm, the
middle-aged men knew that Mindy was much more powerful than they were, so they didn't think of themselves as elders who
should be respected and obeyed by Mindy. Instead, they were ready to follow her command even if they disagreed with her.
Besides, Mindy was finally offering them the chance for revenge that they had been waiting for so many years, so of course they
wouldn't disagree with her. Mindy had their full support.
"Okay! Since you all agree, let's go today. Let's take back everything that's ours and get even!"

Mindy's words motivated the 17 family members. They knew that once they went back to Valley Town, they would either
successfully get their revenge or be killed cruelly by their foes. After all, they didn't know how powerful their foes had become
after these seven years.
However, the memory of that fateful night had tormented them and brought them great agony for seven years, so they
considered revenge much more important than their lives. . . . .
The Li Clan, the enemies of Mindy's family, lived in Valley Town.
In a spacious and luxurious meeting hall sat a dozen leaders of the Li Clan.
Lanny, the master of the Li Clan, was sitting in a wooden armchair, drinking tea with a serious look on his face.
For the past seven years, the Li Clan had taken control of Valley Town and seized all the industries, forests, and farmlands, as
well as the minerals around them.
Ever since they destroyed the Zhang Clan, they had taken over all the businesses in Valley Town and become richer and richer.
And with the development of the Li Clan, Lanny had become the most powerful man in Valley Town. No one dared to sing a
different tune from him.
"Did the old fossil, Zachary, say anything?"
Lanny asked, frowning.
"Master, we've used the worst torture methods we could think of on him, but he's still too stubborn to say a word about where the
book is."
"Is that so? The old fossil is so persistent even in the face of death. Well, if he isn't going to say anything about the book, just
keep using the cruelest torture methods you can think of on him. If I can't get the book, I'll at least be satisfied to see him in
endless pain. That is exactly the price he has to pay for fighting against me!"
"Dad, is there any possibility that the book 'Elixir Foundation' doesn't actually exist? If there is, I think it's better if we kill Zachary.
He isn't helpful to us at all," a young but strong-looking man said. He was none other than Logan, Lanny's second son.
"Mr. White, what's your opinion?"
Lanny looked at the 40-year-old man sitting next to him.

Yann White used to be the butler of the Zhang Clan, but after receiving a considerable bribe from Lanny, he had betrayed the
Zhang Clan and helped the Li Clan attack them that night.
"There is no doubt that the book 'Elixir Foundation' exists. I clearly remember Zachary asking me for advice when he decided to
choose some young men from the Zhang Clan to practice refining elixirs. It must be true," Yann answered.
"That settles it, then; we can't kill Zachary. We can slowly get some information about the book from him. If we're lucky enough to
find that book, the Li Clan can learn how to refine elixirs and cultivate some pill refiners in our family. Then, our clan would
become a powerhouse not only in Valley Town, but also in the whole Violet Orchid Empire.
You know how much people admire pill refiners. It will be a great honor if there is a pill refiner, even a primary one, belonging to
the Li Clan."
All the family members of the Li Clan sitting in the meeting hall were inspired by those words. They all knew that even the least
excellent pill refiner in the Li Clan would be admired by everyone.
If the Li Clan could cultivate their own pill refiner, their family would become even more prosperous in the future.
"It will take a lot of time to get any information out of Zachary. We all know how stubborn that old fossil can be, so it's useless for
us to be optimistic about finding the book quickly," Lanny pointed out, frowning.
Just then, a servant ran into the meeting hall.
"Master, someone sent a package and said that it's your birthday present!"
"Ah? My birthday present?"
Lanny was surprised. His birthday wasn't until two weeks later.
After pondering over it for a few moments, Lanny smiled.
"I see. One of my friends must have sent me this present half a month in advance to give me a surprise."
"Dad, as our Li Clan is becoming richer and more powerful, there are more and more people who want to flatter us. I'm sure the
birthday present must have been sent by someone who wants to get into our good books," a quiet young man commented,
smiling. He was Lanny's first son. He wasn't excellent in martial arts practice, but he was a man of great wisdom.

"Hah hah, whoever sent this is a sincere person, so it would be impolite for us to refuse him. What's the present? Let me have a
look!"
Lanny was very happy.
The servant quickly ran out of the meeting hall.
After a while, he walked back in holding a square package. On the tightly stitched package, the word 'Longevity' was written in a
big font.
"Open it up!"
Lanny ordered.
"Yes, master." The servant began unwrapping the package.
After he uncovered several linings of the package and was about to unfold the last one, eight arrows flew out of the package and
into his chest.
The impact of the arrows flung the servant's body back against the door of the meeting hall. At the same time, the package in his
hands fell onto the floor.
There was a crack as his body hit the door and he was dead before he could so much as let out a cry. There was deadly poison
painted on the arrows.
The whole meeting hall erupted into chaos.
"Who did it? Who! Who did it?"
Lanny got up in a fit of rage and slapped the back of his chair with his right hand. Immediately, the chair, which was made of
ironwood, dissolved into a fine powder, leaving wood chips all over the floor. There was strong vital energy emanating from
Lanny.
The other members of the Li Clan were also astonished by what had happened just now.
