Compared with apprentices

"Then how do you want to compete?" The Middle-aged Man's gaze held a chill.

"If you really want to compete, you need to put up some stakes." Qin Ming smiled. He had never feared a competition; whether it was martial prowess or Pill Dao Strength, he was not afraid.

In terms of martial arts, after becoming a Martial Venerable, if he used a Forbidden Art, he should be able to reach the Peak of the Martial Venerable.

As for Alchemy, even if you took every single alchemist from the entire Pill Alliance and added them all together, they still wouldn't be his match.

"How about this: I'll put up ten ninth-grade spirit plants. If you win, you get the ninth-grade spirit plants and the Divine Artifact Medicine Cauldron, and you can take Jue Xin away. If you lose, the Divine Artifact Medicine Cauldron and the territory of the Feather Transformation Sect will belong to our Pill Alliance." The Middle-aged Man thought for a moment and said.

The reason he wanted the territory of the Feather Transformation Sect was that he had thought it through carefully.

The Power of the Pill Alliance had not spread to all cities; many small cities didn't have the Pill Alliance at all, but Shadow did.

As long as they won all of Shadow's territory, they could completely allow the Pill Alliance to occupy the entire Great Xia Dynasty.

Furthermore, Shadow's Medicinal Pill sales were very good, which in one aspect stole business from the Pill Alliance. If they won their territory, they could completely take over Shadow's business as well.

"Ten ninth-grade spirit plants, and you want to trade for the Feather Transformation Sect's territory and the Divine Artifact Medicine Cauldron? Forget it, let's not even compete. I'll put up twenty spirit plants and just trade them for the Pill Alliance instead." Qin Ming smiled contemptuously and said.

"You…" Hearing Qin Ming say he wanted to trade for the Pill Alliance, the Middle-aged Man was very furious, "Then how many spirit plants do you think is appropriate?"

"One hundred," Qin Ming said, raising one finger. "One hundred, not a single one less."

Hearing this, the Middle-aged Man stared fixedly at Qin Ming and Qing Yan, wanting to use his Aura to suppress Qing Yan and Qin Ming.

Qing Yan shrunk his neck; he was only a Martial King, and he couldn't quite handle this Aura.

Qin Ming blocked Qing Yan, looked at the Middle-aged Man, and suddenly released his Killing Intent, which surged toward the Middle-aged Man.

The Middle-aged Man took a step back, withdrew his gaze, and said, "Fine, but we must compete in Pill Dao Strength."

"Fine." Qin Ming agreed. Competing with him in Alchemy? Wasn't that just courting death?

"How do you want to die… No, how do you want to compete?"

"An Arena Stage Alchemy competition, best of three," the Middle-aged Man said.

Qin Ming nodded. "What location? What time?"

"The location will be Pill City, and you can decide the time," the Middle-aged Man said.

"No." Qin Ming naturally did not want to compete in Alchemy in Pill City. This was their home base; wouldn't the outcome of the competition be determined by them?

"Change the location to the Imperial Capital of the Great Xia Dynasty, and set the time for one month later."

"Fine, but since this is a matter between Jue Xin and Qing Yan, shouldn't we let them participate?" the Middle-aged Man added.

"Hmm?" Qin Ming was slightly stunned. What kind of devious scheme was he plotting?

The Middle-aged Man looked at Qing Yan and said, "Didn't you say you were his master? Since that's the case, your Alchemy skills must be better than his. Are you afraid?"

Qing Yan clenched his fists and looked furiously at the Middle-aged Man before him. Jue Xin's betrayal had always been a pain in his heart, and this Middle-aged Man now actually wanted him to compete in Alchemy against Jue Xin; he had ulterior motives.

"Are you afraid?" The Middle-aged Man asked loudly with a contemptuous smile.

"I'm not! I will go and meet this beast." Qing Yan's veins bulged on his face as he spoke.

"Good, then it's settled. The first match one month from now will be between Qing Yan and Jue Xin." The Middle-aged Man laughed loudly, finalizing the decision.
