Alchemy & Martial Supreme

To put it bluntly, the reason why there were so many people criticizing him this time was... Apart from some people adding fuel to the fire behind his back, the most important reason was also because of jealousy.    

He had just arrived in Hao Yuan City when he was personally received by City Lord and President Yin Hesong. This was a treatment that many people had never received before. There were many Martial Cultivator who called themselves geniuses, so naturally, they felt uncomfortable in their hearts.    

"He is arrogant because of his talent." Qin Ming's eyes slightly narrowed, "Then he is arrogant because of his talent."    

"When you are not much different from others and others have the chance to catch up to you, you will naturally feel jealous."    

"However, if you are unable to catch up to them and can never catch up to them, then you will only be admiring them and not be jealous at all."    

"If that's the case, let them despair. Let them know that I'm not someone they can compare with in the Pill Tao."    

"Whether it's the Pill Tao or the Martial Dao, I'll make all the Martial Cultivator despair. I'll let all the Martial Cultivator know that no one can surpass me, Qin Ming!"    

Upon hearing Qin Ming's domineering words, qi Qi, who was initially worried, suddenly calmed down.    

He originally wanted to ask what he should do to make the public opinion circulate.    

Qin Ming's words made him understand that there was no need for him to do anything. The rumors would break themselves from time to time. As for the Martial Cultivator accusing Qin Ming of being arrogant because of his talent, if Qin Ming could suppress everyone with his absolute strength, it would not be because he was proud of his talent, but because he deserved his reputation.    

Just like what Qin Ming said, the Martial Cultivator would be jealous of those who were stronger than them, but they would never be jealous of Divine Beast Realm experts. They would only look up to them.    

If Qin Ming were to suppress everyone in this Pill Tao Conference, and even surpass the other Alchemist by a large margin... Then, all of these negative remarks would turn into praise.    

But...    

Qi Qi Qi was a little worried. "Qin Ming, do you think this could be President Yin Hen Song or City Lord playing tricks behind our backs?"    

He was worried that Qin Ming had rejected City Lord's Mansion and President Yin Hen Song. Both of them wanted to deal with Qin Ming.    

"I don't think so." Qin Ming was a little uncertain. He guessed, "If it is really President Yin Hesong or City Lord's Mansion, there is no need to do so. They have a hundred ways that are better than this."    

"Furthermore, whether it is the Mysterious Pill Pavilion or City Lord's Mansion, they are both influential powers in Haoyuan City. I don't think they would do such a dirty thing."    

"It does seem like it was done by those four families, but..."    

Qi Qi Qi knew the doubts in Qin Ming's heart, and he also had the same doubts.    

If it was done by those four families... How did they do it?    

No family had such great power. It made countless Martial Cultivator in the entire Hao Yuan City talk about Qin Ming.    

This not only required black stones, but also connections.    

Just a single family... Even if they did everything they could, they wouldn't be able to do it.    

If the four families worked together to plan it... That wouldn't be possible.    

The four families were not as united as they had imagined. It was said that their alliance had collapsed recently.    

It was because they wanted to build the Kui Dao Array that they rebuilt the alliance.    

This kind of alliance was only formed because of benefits. How could they work together?    

"It's not City Lord and President Yin Hesong!" Qin Ming suddenly understood and said affirmatively, "Now that I am neutral, they will not choose to attack me. This might make me fall to the other side."
