"How much?" Judging my wealth with such vulgar terms, Long Chen is clearly a broke guy. Ye Qian sneered.
Long Chen curled his lips: "Your eyes aren't that impressive, but you really know how to read that. Tell me, how many points are your body worth? If it's less, I really wouldn't be interested." Long
Chen had 300,000 points, but after looking around, the rare medicines here were extremely expensive—a bit cheaper, 20,000 to 30,000, and the most expensive ones cost over 100,000.
Long Chen estimated that these rare herbs were almost unique treasures. Because they couldn't be cultivated, they were extremely expensive, and the points Long Chen had in his hands couldn't buy many rare herbs.
Most importantly, Long Chen glanced at them and saw many rare herbs he desperately needed. Unfortunately, his points were insufficient. However, Ye Qian wanting to compete in pill refining was basically giving him money.
"Points?" Hahaha, alright, if I convert it to points, my net worth must be at least 100 million points. Do you want to bet? Ye Qian sneered.
"What kind of bet is this? And what is my wager?" Long Chen asked.
"The betting method is simple. The Divine Clan Pill Manual lists 873 types of twelfth-tier pills, and you can choose any pill you want.
As for the bet, I know you're a pauper, and I don't want your points. You just need to crawl around the Protoss Square for three days and learn to bark like a dog for three days. How about that? Ye Qian said with great confidence.
"Brother Long Chen, don't gamble with him. You don't have a chance to win." Wanqing had witnessed Ye Qian's terrifying alchemy before, and she felt he was far inferior to him.
Most importantly, she could see that Ye Qian still had many reservations; she was not yet able to force his true strength.
Although Long Chen had also taught her alchemy techniques, Pill Fairy greatly admired his alchemy techniques.
But Long Chen was not purely a pill cultivator; he spent most of his time cultivating, surviving under endless oppression and exclusion, fighting relentlessly and never stopping.
The path of alchemy is like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, you fall behind. No matter how strong Long Chen's alchemy skills are, after being neglected for so long, he can't achieve any remarkable growth.
According to Wanqing's estimation, no matter how strong Long Chen's alchemy skills were, he could only be slightly stronger than hers by a slight margin. At this level, he was not enough to challenge Ye Qian. She didn't want to see Long Chen lose and be humiliated.
"What's wrong?" Even Fairy Wanqing worries you won't win. It seems you really are a coward. Ye Qian sneered.
Long Chen smiled and said to Wanqing, "Although I haven't really focused on alchemy these past few years, it should be enough to deal with him."
Let me tell you, if it weren't for this hand, I'd take off my shoes and beat him with my feet, so he could see what a true master is. "
You..."
Ye Qian's face darkened with anger. Long Chen was far too arrogant. He admitted that in martial arts, he couldn't match him, but in alchemy, he was absolutely confident. Long Chen actually didn't take him seriously.
Although in this serious atmosphere, she knew she shouldn't laugh, Wanqing still laughed. Long Chen's expression was so exaggerated that it always made people laugh.
The elders of the Divine Pill Hall looked grim. This Long Chen was far too arrogant, completely disregarding the alchemy techniques of the Divine Clan.
But the Lord of the Pill appeared calm and indifferent, watching with a meaningful expression, as if he was not an Pill Master at all, just an ordinary old man watching the spectacle.
"If that's the case, does that mean you agreed to the match?" Then let's move to the Divine Pill Hall and have a real duel. Ye Qian laughed bitterly in anger and made a gesture inviting him in.
"Wait, although beating you is almost certain for sure, what if you ...?" Long Chen pondered.
"What if you lose?" Are you afraid again? Going back on your word—is this how Long Chen made it out of business? Ye Qian snorted coldly.
"Going back on your word! Do you think I'm Ye Lingfeng from your Ye family?" Long Chen said disdainfully.
"Nonsense! I, Ye Qian, though surnamed Ye, am not a member of the Ye family. Don't think you're too clever on your own." Ye Qian sneered.
Long Chen suddenly understood and pointed at Ye Yaochen in the crowd: "I see. No wonder this guy wanted me to crush you just now—turns out you're not from the same family."
Ah, you should've said so earlier, you two aren't family. Maybe I just left you some mercy.
Kid, you didn't offend this idiot, did you? Why would he want to harm you? Did you give him an infertility pill? Upon
hearing that Ye Qian was not from the Ye family, Long Chen suddenly became a bit gossipy, making Ye Yaochen's face darken with anger.
"Long Chen, don't talk nonsense and deliberately sow discord." Ye Yaochen roared angrily.
"Long Chen, stop trying to get close. You're not a good person. Let me ask you, are you going to compete or not?" Ye Qian shouted coldly, but from his words, he could already tell that Ye Qian was very dissatisfied with Ye Yaochen and had already ranked him on the same level as Long Chen.
"Alright, let's continue with the topic we just discussed. Of course, I can't lose. What I mean by 'if' means what if we end up tied?" Long Chen chuckled.
"What a ridiculous joke. You can't possibly lose, and you want to be a draw?" Hmph, if it's a draw, I'll give you twenty million points too. Let's see if you have the ability. Ye Qian sneered.
"Alright, since you want to lose this once, I'll grant your wish." Long Chen laughed heartily, full of confidence.
Wanqing saw that Long Chen actually agreed, and couldn't help but feel anxious. But Long Chen had already spoken his words and there was no way to change the situation.
The Lord of the Alchemy smiled as he watched the two of them talk. An elder sitting beside him shook his head and said, "This Long Chen is reckless. He can't beat Qian'er." This
elder was none other than the Hall Master of the Divine Pill Hall, in charge of all affairs. His status was second only to the Pill Master, but the Pill Master rarely managed affairs within the hall, so it could be said that this Hall Master almost held absolute authority in the hall.
This master of the Divine Pill Hall was Ye Qian's master. He knew Ye Qian's alchemy skills all too well, and in many aspects, he had already surpassed his master. Ye Qian's talent in alchemy was simply abnormal, so he shared Ye Qian's mindset: Long Chen absolutely could not win.
The Pill Master smiled slightly and said, "You're wrong. Qian'er has already lost." "
This ..."
The head of the Divine Pill Hall's expression changed. What did this mean?
"Senior Dan Master, may I ask you to be your witness, so that no one loses and tries to cheat on them?" Long Chen cupped his hands toward the Pill Master.
The Lord of the Pill Master smiled slightly: "This old man has nothing to do, so I can watch you guys refine pills. It seems no one has dueled in the Divine Pill Hall for a long time, so why not just make it lively?"
Lu Feng, go spread the word. In one hour, there will be a pill duel. Anyone who likes watching can come to the Divine Pill Square to watch. The
person called Lu Feng was a deputy hall master. He responded and left, instantly erupting in excitement—there was quite a scene to watch.
"Long Chen, I'm just waiting to see how you embarrass yourself. I'll go ahead and wait for you at Shendan Square." Seeing that Long Chen had already agreed, a cold smile appeared on Ye Qian's face, then he just disappeared.
"This kid doesn't understand any manners at all." The Pill Master shook his head slightly and said.
"Master Dan, please forgive me. Qian'er is still young and devoted to alchemy, and in terms of etiquette, he is indeed lacking in many ways. I will definitely discipline him properly later." The master of the Divine Pill Hall hurriedly apologized.
"Having pride isn't a bad thing, but crossing a bottom line isn't a good thing."
The Pill Master shook his head and turned to leave. Clearly, Ye Qian had left without even greeting him, which was rather rude. The Hall Master of the Divine Pill Hall hurriedly followed behind and left together.
For a moment, the once bustling treasure trove was suddenly flooded with people. Even some of the people guarding the counter couldn't sit still and wanted to take a look. Some people hurried to find someone to take over the job, and some even paid a lot of money to give others enough benefits before agreeing to take over.
"Long Chen, I'm just watching you crawl while barking like a dog. Hehe, that scene must be amazing." Ye Yaochen said with a sinister smile.
"Your face shape is nice." Long Chen smiled faintly.
"You..."
Ye Yaochen was furious. Long Chen was cursing him for asking for a beating, but deep down, he was very afraid of Long Chen's slap.
Because until now, no one within ten zhang of Long Chen had been able to escape his slap.
Countless people had witnessed Long Chen's moves, but for some reason, those he struck simply couldn't dodge. Although this move didn't cause much harm to the physical bodies of a strong fighter, its psychological torment was terrifying.
So even though Ye Yaochen was a fourth-step Tongming Realm expert, he still kept a certain distance from Long Chen, afraid of getting slapped if he wasn't careful.
Now Long Chen actually said his face looked good, which was an extreme provocation. But he had no reason to act and could only leave with a dark expression.
After Ye Yaochen left, only Wanqing and Shen Chengfeng remained by Long Chen's side, both looking worried. Wanqing shook her head and said,
"Brother Long Chen, are you really confident?"
Long Chen laughed heartily and affectionately ruffled Wanqing's hair: "Silly girl, what kind of person am I, Long Chen? How could I do something I'm not sure about?"
A few years ago, I could teach you how to refine pills. A few years later, I can still teach you. Watch closely this time—your brother Long Chen will teach you what true alchemy really is. Seeing
Long Chen so confident, Wanqing felt relieved, and a sweet smile appeared on her pretty face.
The three of them walked out of the treasury. The warriors of the Tianlong Legion were still waiting outside, each looking at Long Chen with strange expressions.
"Alright, those drums and gongs are still intact, right?" Long Chen asked.
"No, I didn't."
"That's good. This time, let me show your faces again. At the start of this competition, help me perform the signature song of our Eighth Heavenly Dragon Legion." Long Chen chuckled, and the Tianlong Legion warriors' expressions grew even stranger.
Shen Chengfeng showed a mix of amusement and exasperation. Was Long Chen really not afraid at all? At this point, he and Long Chen were already tied to the same boat, so he could only grit his teeth and follow the Eighth Heavenly Dragon Legion to the end.
