Chapter 1187: The winner lives, the loser dies!
As Zhou Xinghe finished his sentence ..!
After a moment of dead silence, the crowd burst into an uproar and laughter.
Even though the former was speaking in a serious manner, everyone present could hear the ridicule and disdain in his words.
“Young master Zhou, even master Guo was defeated by you. How can this kid be your opponent?”
Someone couldn’t help but laugh.
“Not bad!”
One of the fifth-grade alchemists looked at ye chen with disdain.”This kid just got the certificate of a first-grade Alchemist. He’s only a beginner at best. What qualifications does he have to be young master Zhou’s opponent?”
“Anyone here can defeat this kid.”
“……”
Instantly, the entire Hall was filled with laughter.
Even elder GE laughed. He could not help but look at ye chen.”Young man, now you know the difference between you and young master Zhou, right? If you know what’s good for you, apologize to young master Zhou and then …”
“Apologize?“
Before he could finish his sentence, he heard ye chen say lightly,””A good-for-nothing who doesn’t know medicine is worthy of this ye’s apology?!!”
As soon as he said this, the entire place fell silent. Everyone looked at ye chen as if he was a madman.
He actually dared to bet that young master Zhou was trash?
Young lord Zhou’s master is patriarch pill River. If you call him trash, doesn’t that mean you’re also calling patriarch pill River trash?
“What a sharp-tongued brat!”
Zhou Xinghe laughed in anger. He looked at ye chen with a murderous look.”Since you’re not convinced, let’s have a compet.i.tion. I’ll make things ugly first, if you lose, you’ll have to commit suicide. Do you dare?”
“What if you lose?” Ye chen gave a half-smile.
“How can I lose?”
Zhou Xinghe laughed coldly and said,”If I lose to you in front of everyone, I will also commit suicide in front of everyone. Everyone can be my witness.”
“Alright, I’ll play with you.”
Ye chen said sarcastically.
As soon as he finished speaking, the only thought in everyone’s mind was that this kid was crazy. He knew that he was going to die, but he still dared to accept the bet.
Guo Hong, who was planning to leave with his granddaughter, could not help but glance at ye chen and shook his head.”Young man, young master Zhou’s talent is overflowing. He’s not someone you can challenge. You’d better leave with this old man.”
Even though he did not Know ye chen, he could not help but think of his younger self when he saw ye chen challenging Zhou Xinghe at such a young age.
Considering that if ye chen really lost, he would probably lose his life on the spot, he could not bear to take ye chen away.
“Little Big brother, come with us!” The purple-clothed girl kindly reminded him.
“No need!”
Ye chen looked at Zhou Xinghe with sympathy.”I only wanted the invitation. Since he wants to die, I’ll grant his wis.h.!.+”
“What a pity …”
Guo Hong shook his head.
“Grandpa …”
The young lady in purple tugged at the corner of his clothes tightly, her face filled with pleading.
“Alright!”
Guo Hong sighed and finally chose to stay and watch. He thought to himself,”If this little friend loses, this old man will save his life.”
“That’s good!”
Elder GE looked at Zhou Xinghe and said,””In this duel, each of you will refine a seven-revolution ice soul pill. The time limit is four hours. There is no restriction on the medicinal herbs. The pill formula is provided …”
“The winner lives, the loser dies!”
As his voice fell, the entire Hall fell silent.
Many people gasped when they heard the words ‘seven revolutions spirit pill’. They looked at ye chen as if he was a dead man.
The purple-clothed girl saw everyone’s expression change and couldn’t help but ask Guo Hong,”Grandpa, what’s the seven-revolution ice soul pill …”
“The so-called seven revolutions spirit pill is a type of seventh tier medicinal pill!”
Guo Hong’s expression was unsightly.”This pill is rarely seen by the few of you. It’s also extremely complicated to refine. Although it’s a seventh-grade pill, even some eighth-grade alchemists can’t refine it …”
When she heard this, the purple-robed girl’s face paled and she looked at ye chen with sympathy.
Guo Hong also sighed.
There were so many seventh-tier pills out there, but elder GE had insisted on refining the seven-revolution ice soul pill. Anyone with a brain would know that he was siding with Zhou Xinghe.
After all, Zhou Xinghe’s master was the leader of the Alchemy Guild, patriarch pill River. As a Grandmaster Alchemist, he must have taught Zhou Xinghe the techniques to refine the seven-revolutions ice soul pill.
It was obvious that ye chen was already a dead man from the beginning.
Elder GE looked up at ye chen, a strange light flas.h.i.+ng in his eyes.”Young man, do you have any objections?”
“No, I didn ‘t!” Ye chen shook his head.
“Alright then, the two of you can start!”
With a wave of his sleeve, two alchemy cauldrons appeared, along with the medicinal herbs and pill formulas that he had prepared earlier.
“Boom …”
Zhou Xinghe sat down and, just like before, formed 13 magical formations. He then poured 13 spiritual flames into the furnace.
He started to refine the pill with full attention.
Someone cried out in surprise and pointed at ye chen.”Look, what is he doing?”
Everyone immediately looked over and saw ye chen unhurriedly counting the things in front of him. He even held the pill formula and shook his head repeatedly.
“Hahaha, this kid must not know where to start. He might not even understand the pill formula …”
“You’re right. He’s only a first-grade Alchemist. I’m afraid he can’t even activate the elixir furnace, let alone refine the seven-revolution ice soul pill …”
“I’ve lived for half my life, but this is the first time I’ve seen a young man who is so determined to die. Strange, strange …”
“……”
Many people were talking about it. They looked at ye chen with disdain and sympathy, but most of them were gloating over his misfortune.
Seeing this, Guo Hong shook his head.
“The so-called seven revolutions ice soul pill is just a third-grade pill in the cultivation world, the ice continuation pill. It’s actually regarded as a seventh-grade pill here!”
Ye chen looked at the pill recipe and shook his head.”And the herbs in the recipe are messy. It’s obvious that it was created by someone who doesn’t understand the medicinal properties …”
Under everyone’s gaze, he actually closed his eyes and sat cross-legged in meditation, as if he had fallen asleep.
“This kid is really crazy …”
“You’re still thinking about cultivating at this time? You must know that the time limit is only four hours. If he continues to waste like this, how can he even talk about alchemy?”
“Hehe, what if he knew that he was going to die, so he gave up early and chose to accept his fate …”
Some sneered, while others shook their heads.
The purple-robed girl looked at ye chen attentively. She could not help but frown.”Grandpa, what is little brother doing?”
“I can’t understand it either.”
Guo Hong shook his head lightly and sighed,”when I saw how confident this young man was, I thought that he might be a master alchemist. But now it seems …”
Even he was disappointed in ye chen.
As time pa.s.sed, everyone lost interest in him. Their eyes were fixed on Zhou Xinghe.
An hour later, Zhou Xinghe had already extracted 49 different herbs and had completely liquefied their essence.
Another hour pa.s.sed, and Zhou Xinghe had already condensed all the essences into powder. He then used his alchemy techniques to try and fuse them together.
However, the crowd noticed that ye chen was still motionless.
“Shua shua shua …”
An hour later, everyone was shocked to find that the temperature in the room had suddenly dropped, and then the ground and the walls were frozen at a speed visible to the naked eye.
