As soon as Long Chen spoke, everyone was dumbfounded. Fatty Yu, Monkey, and the others had their mouths wide open to the limit.

"Damn, Brother Long is truly Brother Long. One sentence is enough to choke a whole crowd to death."

Xia Baichi's face turned iron-blue with anger. Her eyes were like two sharp blades. If looks could kill, Long Chen would have already been minced into meat paste.

Great Master Yun Qi had a strange expression and shook his head slightly, but he felt very comfortable inside. Long Chen had vented his anger for him. Was this the legendary saying that evil people are kept in check by even more evil ones?

"You bad guy."

Chu Yao's pretty face flushed red. This Long Chen was too wicked. Seeing Xia Baichi trembling with rage, she wondered if she would even have the strength to perform Alchemy in a moment.

"Brat, how rude. This old man is inviting you up here for a duel," Wei Cang shouted angrily. He wished he could slap this youth to death; he was simply too infuriating.

"No problem. If I win, can I get that?" Long Chen pointed at the bottle in Wei Cang's hand and asked, sounding somewhat uncertain.

"Hmph, this old man keeps his word. I will absolutely not go back on it," Wei Cang snorted coldly.

Xia Baichi finally caught her breath and pointed at Long Chen, gritting her teeth: "Dream on if you think you can win against me. However, if you lose, I want you to kneel and kowtow to me three times, crawl between my legs, and then lick all ten of my toes clean."

When Xia Baichi's voice reached them, everyone was shocked. Listening to her gnashing tone, it seemed her grudge against Long Chen was not trivial.

They suddenly realized that Wei Cang's arrival was definitely not a coincidence; it was clearly targeted at Long Chen and Great Master Yun Qi.

Xia Baichi's condition was too vicious. Any person would be unable to bear such a defeat. This was forcing Long Chen into a dead end.

Shi Feng, Fatty Yu, and the others couldn't help but change color. Wei Cang had personally admitted that Xia Baichi was his Disciple, so her Alchemy must be astonishing.

However, no one had ever seen Long Chen's Alchemy. Whether he could actually perform Alchemy was still up for debate.

Even if Long Chen knew how to perform Alchemy, how long had he known Great Master Yun Qi? What could he have learned in two months? He probably hadn't even scratched the surface!

A trace of paleness appeared on Chu Yao's pretty face, and her eyes were filled with worry. Although she hadn't known Long Chen for long, she could feel the pride rooted in his bones. Even if he were to die, he would never accept such an insult.

"Long Chen, you are not my Disciple, there is no need to jump into this trap," Yun Qi reminded him, while also pointing out that Long Chen had not received his true inheritance.

"I know it's a trap… but this… bait is truly tempting," Long Chen said, looking reluctant and conflicted.

Fatty Yu and the others almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. Brother Long, no, Lord Long, you know it's a trap, yet you're still jumping into it?

Everyone had a strange expression; they couldn't tell if Long Chen was truly stupid or just pretending.

Long Chen hesitated for a moment, then finally gritted his teeth: "I agree, but I have a condition."

Seeing Long Chen agree, a cold sneer appeared on the corner of Xia Baichi's mouth, while a trace of mockery flashed in Wei Cang's old eyes.

"Speak, what condition?"

"If I win, I don't want her to lick my feet. She has such a good relationship with you, I'm afraid I'll get athlete's foot," Long Chen said righteously.

"Long Chen… I'm going to kill you!"

Xia Baichi was so angry that her long hair stood on end. Her originally pretty face became extremely twisted, giving people a terrifying feeling.

"Long Chen…"

Wei Cang clenched his fists tightly, blue veins throbbing on his forehead. He, who had always been very calm, was actually trembling with rage.

"Old man, are you having a stroke?" Long Chen asked with some concern.

Wei Cang was, after all, an old monster who had lived for many years. His patience exceeded Long Chen's expectations. He snorted coldly, suppressing the anger in his heart.

"This Alchemy duel will be for the Blood-Breaking Pill. You must provide your own Materials, with a maximum of three portions. The duel will begin in one quarter of an hour."

After reciting the rules, Wei Cang returned to his seat. He was somewhat afraid of Long Chen. This bastard's ability to infuriate people was absolutely Heaven-Defying. He was afraid he wouldn't be able to hold back and would slaughter him.

This time, he intended to use Xia Baichi's hand to humiliate Long Chen and provoke Yun Qi. Besides, even if he wanted to make a move, Yun Qi would definitely not stand by and watch.

The Materials for Xia Baichi's side had naturally been prepared by Wei Cang, while on Long Chen's side, he could only rely on Great Master Yun Qi.

"Great Master, look, could you lend me some Materials?" Long Chen spread his hands and said.

"Long Chen, you must think carefully," Great Master Yun Qi said solemnly.

"Great Master, I am doing this entirely for myself this time. Don't worry, I am confident," Long Chen said.

"Very well."

Although he was worried, seeing Long Chen so determined, he had no choice but to nod and instruct an accompanying Alchemy Disciple to return to the Guild to fetch the Materials.

The Blood-Breaking Pill is a Second-Grade Medicinal Pill used by experts in the Blood Condensation Realm to achieve a Breakthrough in their minor Realm. It is extremely precious.

The Materials for refining the Blood-Breaking Pill are not particularly rare. The most precious main ingredient in the Blood-Breaking Pill is called the Blood Spirit Fruit.

The quality of the Medicinal Pill basically depends on the purification of the Blood Spirit Fruit. There are too many Impurities within the Blood Spirit Fruit, making purification very difficult. If the heat is even slightly too high, it will immediately burn to ashes.

However, if the heat is insufficient, the Impurities inside cannot be removed at all, which seriously affects the effect of the Medicinal Pill. It can be said that the Blood-Breaking Pill is one of the most difficult Second-Grade Medicinal Pills to refine.

Performing Alchemy on the spot increases the difficulty even more. Although three portions of Materials might seem like three chances, it is still very dangerous for the high-failure-rate Blood-Breaking Pill.

Both sides moved quickly. Two Alchemy stands were temporarily set up on the stage. Performing Alchemy on them allowed those below to see clearly.

"The duel begins. The time limit is one hour. After one hour, whoever refines the higher quality Blood-Breaking Pill wins."

As the duel began, Long Chen and Xia Baichi walked to their respective stands and arranged their Materials one by one.

Long Chen suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at Xia Baichi. He saw that on Xia Baichi's Alchemy stand, a round fruit was very conspicuous.

"A Blood Condensation Fruit over a hundred years old?"

Long Chen was slightly shocked. It seemed this Xia Baichi had come prepared. The Blood Condensation Fruit in Long Chen's hand was only over thirty years old, and the best one was only over fifty years old.

"Hmph, I said you had to provide your own Materials. You can only blame your Guild for being too poor," Xia Baichi sneered when she saw Long Chen looking over.

Great Master Yun Qi's expression sank slightly, and he snorted coldly: "After so many years, you still use such underhanded things."

Great Master Yun Qi's words were not directed at anyone; it was as if he were talking to himself. However, Wei Cang sneered: "Winners take all. I want the final result. It was your own carelessness, who can you blame?"

"Great Master, did they tamper with the Materials?" Although Chu Yao couldn't tell the age of the Blood Condensation Fruit, she could see some clues from their conversation.

Great Master Yun Qi nodded: "The Blood Condensation Fruits in their hands are all over three hundred years old. The essence extracted will be purer, which will certainly improve the quality of the Medicinal Pill."

"Wouldn't that put Long Chen at a great disadvantage?" Chu Yao was shocked.

They hadn't even started, yet he was already losing at the starting line. Chu Yao couldn't help but feel anxious. Great Master Yun Qi sighed: "It's my fault for underestimating Wei Cang's shamelessness."

For a moment, the entire scene was in an uproar. Great Master Yun Qi's words were not deliberately concealed, and the people around heard them.

However, Great Master Wei Cang was also right. The Materials were to be provided by oneself. Since you didn't grasp the opportunity, you can only swallow this bitter pill.

"Do you think Brother Long will be alright?" Monkey asked with some worry.

"Are you kidding? Who is Brother Long? Just watch," Fatty Yu was full of confidence.

Long Chen watched Xia Baichi, who was busy working. Long Chen simply stood with his hands behind his back, neither sorting the herbs nor warming the furnace.

"Hmph, giving up? Just wait to lick my toes."

Seeing Long Chen motionless, and thinking Long Chen had been struck by the situation, Xia Baichi extended her jade hand, and a pale yellow flame rose up.

Not bad. Although one dare not compliment Xia Baichi's character, the density of this Alchemy fire was indeed very high.

Among the Alchemy Disciples, it belonged to the top tier. No wonder she had such confidence to throw out such a large bait.

However, Long Chen was indeed attracted by the bait. Although that Flame Leopard Beast Fire did not rank on the Beast Fire Ranking, it was more than ten times stronger than his own Alchemy fire.

If Long Chen refined the Flame Leopard Beast Fire, he would have a certain level of confidence that he could refine High Grade Star-Melting Pills, which were what Chu Yao needed most.

Because the foreign True Qi in Chu Yao's body had been there for too long, like a seed that had grown into a big tree, only High Grade Star-Melting Pills could refine it.

This was also the reason why Long Chen, even knowing it was a trap, still jumped into it. Just as he said: there was no choice, this bait was too tempting.

After warming the furnace, Xia Baichi's movements were very smooth, and every step was meticulous, making it impeccable.

A smile appeared on Wei Cang's old face, and he stroked his goat beard slightly, his eyes full of confidence: "This child Baichi is a talent worth cultivating. Today, as long as she can successfully refine the Blood Condensation Pill, and the quality is not too bad, she can immediately be promoted to an Alchemist."

The Blood Condensation Pill is one of the assessment Medicinal Pills for an Alchemy Disciple to be promoted to an Alchemist. Successfully refining it today in front of so many people meant that Xia Baichi could advance.

"This is all due to the Great Master's cultivation. The Great Master has just arrived and must be tired from the journey. Changfeng has already found a place for you to stay." After speaking, he lowered his voice and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Changfeng has also found a pair of top-grade twin flowers for the Great Master, and they are still virgins."

Wei Cang, who had been serious, immediately had his eyes light up, but he quickly suppressed it and said solemnly: "It's just to rest, there's no need for such a big fuss."

"I know you don't care for this, Great Master, but since a big figure like you has come here, you must give those who admire you a chance to properly admire you, right?" Xia Changfeng laughed. However, he cursed inwardly: Old lecher, no one in the world doesn't know of your lust, yet you still have to pretend to be high and mighty.

"Hehe, just leave these arrangements to the servants. I don't pay much attention to such things," Wei Cang said indifferently.

Don't pay attention? Of course you don't pay attention, you mainly just want to get on people, Xia Changfeng muttered in his heart. Suddenly, his expression turned serious; he discovered that Xia Baichi had started to extract the Blood Condensation Fruit.

The success or failure of the Blood Condensation Pill largely depends on the Blood Condensation Fruit. If it is purified enough, the success rate will be greatly improved.

Xia Baichi carefully put the Blood Condensation Fruit into the cauldron and slowly increased the temperature of the Alchemy fire. To be honest, this was also her first time purifying a Blood Condensation Fruit of such a high age, and she dared not be the slightest bit careless.

"Ah… ah… eh… eh" Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, the whole scene was so quiet that a needle could be heard dropping, and Long Chen suddenly shouted out loud.

"Bang!"

Xia Baichi's hand shook, and the flames surged. The Blood Condensation Fruit could not withstand the suddenly changing flames and was instantly burned to ashes.

The whole scene was silent, staring blankly at Long Chen.
