Chen Fan glanced over at the dicine Cauldrons on the square and after observing them for a few monts, he expressed slight surprise, "It does seem to be the case."
The dicine Cauldron of the dicine Sect sowhat resembled those in the Cultivation World, where cultivators refine pills, naturally they would not use ordinary fire, hence, there would be no design for a fire inlet on the cauldron.
Yang Wanli felt a bad premonition rising in his heart and muttered, "I hope it’s not as I fear."
This Pill Refinent competition was presided over by Xie Guangyun, who had arrived early to make arrangents.
After explaining the process, Xie Guangyun turned to ask a disciple beside him, "Have you found Xie Bi?"
The disciple shook his head and said, "I’ve looked everywhere that I could, but there’s no sign of him. Soone saw him with Wang Tong last night, but I couldn’t find where Wang Tong is either."
Xie Guangyun snorted coldly, "That good-for-nothing, who knows where he’s gone off to fool around. Once the Pill Refinent competition is over, I’ll make sure to teach him a lesson!"
At that mont, his gaze fell on Yang Wanli not far away and he imdiately revealed a mocking expression, "He actually didn’t die outside the Sect last night, how lucky he is."
At that mont, Yang Wanli also looked towards Xie Guangyun, and as their eyes t, twenty years of grievances were about to explode.
Xie Guangyun approached with arrogance in his tone, "After so many years, you’re still so diocre. However, I do admire your courage, to actually have the guts to co back and participate in the Pill Refinent competition."
Yang Wanli snorted coldly, "You stole the heirloom of my Yang Family. No matter what, I must take it back. I just hope you keep your promise. If I win first place in this Pill Refinent competition, you must return the Jade Pendant!"
Xie Guangyun smiled slightly, "Don’t worry, as the Elder Xie of the dicine Sect, how could I go back on my word in front of soone as insignificant as you? Whether it is you or your descendants, as long as you win first place in this competition, I will return the Jade Pendant."
He looked over Chen Fan and Yang Tianzhen with even more disdain in his eyes and said indifferently, "The only thing I’m afraid of is that you simply don’t have the capability to take first place!"
Yang Wanli replied firmly, "We shall wait and see."
Xie Guangyun curled his lip, "It seems you are really confident. But I need to remind you, over these years my dicine Sect has developed rapidly. To tightly integrate Martial Arts with Alchemy, we required our disciples to refine herbs with Inner Strength years ago; those without Martial Arts talent are also not qualified to learn Pill Refinent."
"You see those dicine Cauldrons? They can only be heated with Inner Strength, not ordinary fire. Make sure you don’t go gathering firewood later."
Shock instantly spread over Yang Wanli’s face, and despair began to take hold in his heart.
He had been worried about this very scenario, and now it had co true.
His face darkened as he stared at Xie Guangyun, "If the rules of the Pill Refinent competition are such, why did you even call here?"
Xie Guangyun laughed heartily, "Naturally, I wanted you to realize the gap between you and , and to witness your despair firsthand."
"Considering that the competition hasn’t started yet, I suggest you forfeit now. Otherwise, you’ll just turn into a joke in everyone’s eyes later."
Yang Wanli trembled with rage. He could never have imagined that Xie Guangyun invited him here simply to humiliate him.
Clenching his teeth and glaring at Xie Guangyun, he wished he could flay the man and vent his furious anger. But after a long while, he could only sigh, turned to Chen Fan and Yang Tianzhen, and said, "Let’s go. He never intended to return the Jade Pendant to us in the first place."
Xie Guangyun tilted his head up proudly and said, "I’ll take good care of your heirloom. From now on, it has nothing to do with you anymore."
Yang Wanli clenched his fists, but in the end, he didn’t say anything and planned to leave.
Chen Fan, however, stood up at this mont, "Grandpa, he just said that whether it’s you or your descendants, all can participate in this Pill Refinent Competition. Since that’s the case, let help you win back the Jade Pendant."
Yang Wanli suddenly looked up, staring at Chen Fan in shock, "Chen Fan, you..."
Chen Fan winked at him, "Trust , we can’t make this trip for nothing."
Yang Tianzhen always had an inexplicable trust in Chen Fan, and now hearing him say so, she imdiately exclaid loudly, "That’s right, if my grandpa can’t participate in the Pill Refinent Competition, we still have Chen Fan. He’s my husband, the rightful grandson-in-law of my grandpa, and he will win the first place in this competition for my grandpa!"
Chen Fan imdiately turned to look at Yang Tianzhen with a puzzled expression, he had intended to participate in the Pill Refinent Competition as Yang Wanli’s grandson, so how did he beco his grandson-in-law in Yang Tianzhen’s eyes?
Yang Tianzhen stuck out her tongue, signaling to Chen Fan not to mind these details.
Seeing this, Xie Guangyun raised an eyebrow, and said coldly, "Fine, since you refuse to give up, then I’ll give you a chance to realize just how insignificant you are. You must understand, the offspring of a sick cat can never beco a fierce tiger."
After speaking, he turned around and left.
Yang Wanli looked at Chen Fan, "Chen Fan, this is a grudge between him and . You don’t need to go so far to help ."
Chen Fan smiled, "Doctor Yang, we have known each other for quite a while now. If I can’t lend a hand in such a small matter, how can I even be considered a friend? Besides, I also want the three five-hundred-year-old Spiritual dicines that co with first place."
Yang Wanli’s expression was full of gratitude, and he solemnly gave a cupped fist salute to Chen Fan, "Then I won’t refuse. If you win first place, those three Spiritual dicines are all yours."
Not long after, Xie Guangyun approached everyone and announced loudly, "Ladies and gentlen, the competition is about to begin. Please enter the arena!"
The disciples of the dicine Sect headed toward the square one after another. The dicine Cauldrons placed there were all the sa, so everyone was free to choose their cauldron.
Chen Fan glanced at Yang Wanli and Yang Tianzhen, "I’m going over." He then turned and walked onto the square.
A hint of nervousness appeared in Yang Wanli’s eyes, "Chen Fan’s dical skills are unrivaled, but I’ve never seen his alchemy skills. I wonder if he can take first place this ti."
Yang Tianzhen was brimming with confidence, "Don’t worry, Grandpa, Chen Fan never disappoints. He will certainly make you proud."
Yang Wanli nodded, no longer overly worried.
Chen Fan approached a dicine Cauldron to examine it carefully and found that although the cauldron had begun to be improved in the style of the Cultivation World’s cauldrons, it still looked rather crude. At the very least, this quality of cauldron would definitely not withstand the Nine Yang Divine Fire.
However, he was not concerned, for even without using the Nine Yang Divine Fire, relying solely on Spiritual Power to refine elixir, he was still far superior to these dicine Sect disciples.
At this mont, a graceful figure approached, standing in front of the dicine Cauldron next to Chen Fan.
Chen Fan turned his head to look and found that it was the white-dressed girl, Qin Yiyi, he had seen before.
Qin Yiyi, upon seeing Chen Fan, also looked surprised, but a sneer soon appeared on her face, "You really are ordinary yet confident."
