Although Liu He possesses the Ninth Layer of the ridian Passage Realm cultivation, his cultivation realm could be entirely said to be built up through pills, and he has rarely engaged in combat with others. He seldom hunts demon beasts, and his actual combat power probably doesn’t even asure up to so powerful Eighth Layer ridian Passage Realm experts.
In the sa stage, he could be considered at the bottom, lacking even the qualification to fight against true geniuses.
Though Wang Ruoxie has temporarily lost his cultivation, and his internal injuries have not healed, he can easily defeat a Half-Step Essence Pill cultivator with just his formidable physical body.
If he could fully recover his cultivation, his current power could likely contend with an ordinary First Layer Essence Pill Realm practitioner.
Especially against soone like Liu He, whose cultivation realm is built on pills or Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures at the First Layer of the Essence Pill Realm; he might not only contend but has a significant chance of defeating them.
Therefore, Wang Ruoxie didn’t even consider Liu He’s punch; he rely threw a punch effortlessly, not even using much of his physical strength.
Otherwise, with just one punch, he could’ve obliterated the opponent.
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, the fists of both collided instantly.
The next mont, several people saw Liu He’s entire body being directly flown away, falling heavily to the ground.
Watching this, those in the hall had various expressions.
Su Qiuling and Su Qingxue showed faint smiles, without any surprise. Even the powerful Gu Junyan could not withstand a punch from Wang Ruoxie, let alone Liu He, who was far inferior to Gu Junyan.
Du Xiu and Su Zetao were full of shock as they looked at Wang Ruoxie, now with a tinge of fear in their eyes.
Wang Ruoxie himself stood calmly on the spot, for him, defeating soone whose cultivation realm was built through pills was no challenge at all.
As for Liu He, who was punched away by Wang Ruoxie, his expression beca quite colorful, alternating between blue and white.
Though he wasn’t hard by that punch, he felt utterly humiliated, feeling greatly embarrassed.
He never expected that soone he deed a waste without any cultivation would possess such terrifying strength, where he couldn’t even withstand a casual punch.
He even secretly felt that the punch just now barely used any strength; otherwise, he might have been severely injured if not killed.
"Well, is my strength satisfactory to you?"
Wang Ruoxie mocked with a slight smile, speaking to Liu He.
Upon hearing this, Liu He’s face beca even more unsightly, yet he had nothing to say, as the other’s strength was trendously superior, not even at the sa level.
Although for him, his martial arts cultivation was rely for better learning of the Alchemy Dao, being defeated by a single punch was still a great humiliation.
He now finally believed that Su Qingxue hadn’t been exaggerating when she said Gu Junyan was defeated by this person’s punch.
Ignoring Liu He, Wang Ruoxie’s gaze turned and once again spoke to Du Xiu: "Do you dare to have an alchemy duel with ?"
"Youngsters, it’s not wrong to be impetuous, but being too arrogant will only bring you disaster."
Du Xiu coldly gazed at Wang Ruoxie, stating.
Although this person showed incredibly powerful strength, even he wasn’t confident to contend with him, he still didn’t believe that the other had the qualifications to duel him in alchemy.
For a true Pill Master, martial arts cultivation power isn’t very important, especially for a top Fifth Grade Alchemy Master like him. Even without any cultivation, great factions and strong individuals would still hold him in high regard.
"Whether I am arrogant can be known after the alchemy duel, and besides, a Fifth Grade Pill Master is rely at the entry level of the Alchemy Dao."
Wang Ruoxie gazed at Du Xiu and said flatly.
Hearing this, several people’s eyes froze, a Fifth Grade Pill Master is still at entry-level?
Liu He, in particular, felt as if he had been slapped hard in the face. Just monts ago, he boasted that he would take five years at most to reach the level of a Fifth Grade Pill Master.
Now the other said that a Fifth Grade Pill Master is only entry-level, doesn’t that an he hasn’t even entered the door of the Alchemy Dao?
"Hmph, what a big mouth, I wonder what gives a young punk like you the confidence to challenge ."
Du Xiu snorted coldly, saying.
"Since it’s an alchemy duel, why don’t we add a little wager, how about it?"
Wang Ruoxie smiled and continued.
"What kind of wager?"
Du Xiu replied coldly.
"If you lose, then you must ensure that your good disciple never again ntions marrying Miss Su Qiuling, and you must oversee the Su Family for a year."
Wang Ruoxie said to Du Xiu.
"Agreed."
Du Xiu nodded without hesitation: "And if you lose?"
In his view, he couldn’t possibly lose, so whatever the other’s demand was, he didn’t mind.
"If I lose, you can do with as you will."
Wang Ruoxie replied with a light smile.
Regarding his alchemy skill, he was filled with confidence. Even without any cultivation now, he was still far beyond this so-called Fifth Grade Alchemy Master.
Moreover, he wasn’t belittling his opponent; in his past life, even those acclaid as Pill Saints couldn’t compare to him and even begged him for guidance.
Note that Pill Saints surpass Ninth Grade Alchemy Grandmasters, and certainly aren’t comparable to this so-called Master Du Xiu.
Even if limited by his current cultivation realm he could not refine higher grade pills, he could still easily defeat him.
Thus, he was confident in saying this because he knew he wouldn’t lose.
"Alright, let’s make it so."
Du Xiu replied: "However, with limited ti, let’s just have a simple contest; we’ll each refine a ridian Opening Pill, and whoever produces the higher quality pill wins, how about that?"
"That sounds fine."
Wang Ruoxie nodded in agreent.
The ridian Opening Pill, though not one of the very top Fifth Grade pills like the Six Yang Returning Essence Pill, is a relatively valuable Fifth Grade Pill, with its effect of assisting in chakra opening making it highly sought after.
Therefore, ordinary Fifth Grade Pill Masters regularly refine ridian Opening Pills, and naturally keep plenty of the needed materials.
Wang Ruoxie’s storage ring also contained so materials necessary for refining the ridian Opening Pill.
"If that’s the case, let’s begin."
Without further ado, Du Xiu knew that for a Pill Master, an alchemy duel is a sacred affair.
Even though he didn’t think this person qualified to duel him, he still intended to go all out.
Wang Ruoxie did not hesitate as he took out a half-person-high tripod furnace from his storage ring.
This tripod furnace was prepared when he left the Celestial Sword Sect. Though just a lower grade Spiritual Artifact level furnace, it was already unsuitable for his current cultivation use.
