“Gosh!” Someone slammed the table in excitement. “Lou Qianxue still dares to battle? Even with her life?”
“Is she not afraid of death? Or is she willing to give up her life for the sake of becoming famous!”
“She’s crazy! Why does such an arrogant woman exist? A second-grade alchemist at the age of 25 is already very impressive, but she made it sound like it was worthless! I think she’s just asking for it!”
“Right, she’s asking for it. Young Master Yan, we support you. Teach her a good lesson!”
“Teach her a lesson!”
Yan Gongqing coldly smiled at Lou Qianxue among the supportive cheers from the crowd. “We will battle in alchemy on the spot. Within an hour, whoever can make a pill of greater quality the fastest will be the winner!”
When they heard that they could watch Yan Gongqing refine a pill, everyone got excited.
Lou Qianxue frowned and spoke in a low voice. “I can’t refine the flame core yet, so I can’t practice alchemy on my own.”
The moment Lou Qianxue finished her sentence, everyone broke into earth-shattering laughter. They all sneered at her.
“Hahaha, I said so. Why isn’t she afraid of death? It turns out that she doesn’t even know how to practice alchemy! She had already intended to escape!”
“Pfft! How shameless, and I was still looking forward to it!”
“Lou Qianxue is such a joke! A clown! I wonder how she can be so thick-skinned?”
Yan Gongqing trembled due to the anger. “Are you fooling me?”
Lou Qianxue frowned. “What’s in it for me to fool you? Also, you think that just because I can’t refine pills, I can’t battle with you.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“I’ll get someone above the ninth level of the Spiritual realm who can’t refine pills. That person will substitute for me and battle with you. If that person wins, then naturally, I have won too!”
“Someone who can’t refine pills? Battle with me? Hahaha! What a joke! Woman, you’re bragging too much. You can’t even refine your flame core, yet you have the audacity to guide someone else? And to the extent that this person would defeat me? Hahahaha!” Yan Gongqing despised Lou Qianxue even more. In his eyes, Lou Qianxue was now a demagogic piece of trash.
“We’ll naturally know if it’s really a joke once we try it out.” After Lou Qianxue spoke, she turned to the crowd and said, “Does anyone above the ninth level of the Spiritual realm dares to accept my guidance and compete with Yan Gongqing?”
Silence descended in the entire place.
No one spoke up.
Lou Qianxue frowned. She planned to get Leng Qianhan to come over. Leng Qianhan had a high level of cultivation, and he had never come into contact with alchemy. Therefore, he fulfilled the conditions.
No one cared about Lou Qianxue, and they sneered at her.
“Who would accept the guidance of a piece of trash? Who does she think she is?”
“Right. Whoever trusts her is nothing but a fool.”
Lou Qianxue thought that Leng Qianhan could make it. She was just about to speak up when a clear, crisp voice came from the crowd. “Let me do it!”
Someone had actually stood up.
Even Lou Qianxue was surprised for a moment. She gazed at the young man. His facial features were delicate and defined, and he looked familiar.
“Y-you are…” Lou Qianxue thought for a while before saying his name, “Ye Zhuixun!”
Ye Zhuixun was the dark horse at Qingyun City’s competition.
He belonged to a small family, and he had given an ordinary performance at the competition. So when he got qualified for the competition, many had thought that he was just lucky.
On the way to the Liuyun Prefecture from Qingyun City, everyone from the city had traveled together, so Lou Qianxue naturally knew him.
However, betraying everyone’s expectations, Ye Zhuixun turned out to be in the ninth level of the Spiritual realm!
After all, he looked even younger than Mo Ruhuan!
