  Qian-er could not refrain from laughing, her entire person shaking with laughter, and said to the Elder Duan beside in a low voice, "This Ye Yuan is really too bad! To even be able to come up with this kind of lousy move! He doesn't go himself but let his two disciples go up. Making two Alchemy Kings compete with Alchemy Ancestors, even if they lost, Su Qide would probably get stench all over himself too!"

  Elder Duan shook his head too and said with a laugh, "This boy is indeed deriding. But it's very practical. With this, Su Qide is checkmated viciously but can't wind it up."

  Su Qide was angered until his c.h.e.s.t was like puffing bellows. Only after some time, did he catch his breath and said in a great rage, "Ye Yuan punk, you … you're bullying others too far! You let two Alchemy King Realm babies compete with this old man, this is insulting this old man! Alchemy Saint He, I recommend to ally up all the trading firms in the entire city and boycott this Fragrant Medicine Pavilion!"

  He Shuming also did not expect that Ye Yuan would come up with this kind of low-blow. But outside of his fury at this time, he was somewhat filled with lingering fear afterward.

  If it were him provoking Ye Yuan just now, it would probably be even more awkward at this time, right?

  His ill.u.s.trious name was almost ruined in this punk's hands!

  Hearing Su Qide said so, He Shuming immediately responded, "Ye Yuan, you're too condescending! To actually insult seniors like this! Today, I …"

  He Shuming had not finished speaking when he was interrupted by Ye Yuan rudely. Ye Yuan said, "Alchemy Saint He, this Ye Yuan doesn't have the intention of joking! Aren't you all here to challenge the dojo? I'll give you this opportunity today! Let's compete for three rounds, how about that?"

  Chapter 734 - Disciples Requesting Battle

  "Oh? Compete for three rounds? How to compete?" He Shuming asked rather interestedly.

  "Up to you to pick! Let's pit soldiers against soldiers, general against general! You compete with me. Then pick two out among these garbage Alchemy Ancestors to compete with my disciples." Ye Yuan said very indifferently.

  Only he was indifferent. The others were not calm.

  An Alchemy Sovereign leading Alchemy Kings to challenge an Alchemy Saint bringing two Alchemy Ancestors?

  This punk wasn't soft in the head, right?

  More importantly, Ye Yuan actually handed the initiative over to He Shuming, allowing him to pick the events.

  If He Shuming picked what he was good at to compete in, wasn't this extending his head out for people to chop?

  "Haha, Ye Yuan, I know that you have some capability! But you making light of heroes under the heaven like this will cost you dearly! Or maybe, you wish to use this kind of method to make me have misgivings about my reputation and let you off today?" He Shuming said with a loud laugh.

  Ye Yuan smiled lightly and said, "You're over-thinking! How about this, since it's a competition, then let's add some stake, how's that?"

  He Shuming was slightly startled, thinking to himself, could this boy be for real?

  "What stake?"

  "If I lose, the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion is yours! You lose, give me 100 thousand merit points! This deal, it's a sure win without losing anything for you. How about it? Dare to compete or not?" Ye Yuan said directly.

  Qian-er got anxious when she heard and hurriedly said, "No way! This sort of competition is unfair in itself. Ye Yuan, you're treating it too much of a child's play like this!"

  He Shuming laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha, Ye Yuan, looks like even your own people aren't optimistic about you!"

  Ye Yuan completely ignored Qian-er and said to He Shuming, "Doesn't matter. I have the final say here!"

  "Good! Since it's already said until like this, if I still don't agree, wouldn't it let the heroes of the world scoff? But our two parties competing, it can't be each side believing that they are right, that both sides have their merits. Got to find a person to preside over, right?" He Shuming said.

  "I'll preside over, how's that?"

  A deep and powerful voice suddenly sounded out in the crowd. Everyone looked over where the voice came from, and they saw a middle-aged man dressed in fine clothing sticking out.

  He even brought an attendant alongside him, but Ye Yuan recognized that he was precisely the city guards army's head-commander, Luo Fang!

  A figure able to make Luo Fang tag along as an attendant, his identity was also obvious.

  "City Lord Your Excellency! W-Why have you come?" He Shuming said in astonishment.

  This person was precisely Ancient Opulence City's City Lord, Ying Tianya!

  Ye Yuan had heard of Jun Tianyu mentioning this person before. Even the lofty and proud Jun Tianyu's appraisal of Ying Tianya was very high too.

  If say there were still people Jun Tianyu was apprehensive of in this Ancient Opulence City, there was only this Ying Tianya!

  Ying Tianya walked out slowly from the crowd, carrying the unique bearing of a sovereign, and said with a faint smile, "This Ying heard that a Master Ye newly emerged in the city, and even opened a medicinal pill store on Ancient Opulence Street, so I came over to have a look on a spur of the moment. But I didn't expect that Alchemy Saint He is actually competing with Master Ye here. I wonder if this Ying has the qualifications to take on the post of the person presiding over?"

  He Shuming hurriedly said, "City Lord Your Excellency is in such a mood. This He is absolutely honored!"

  Ying Tianya nodded his head and looked at Ye Yuan, saying, "Does Master Ye have any objections?"

  Ye Yuan said smilingly, "No objections."

  Ying Tianya chuckled and said, "Fine then. This Ying will witness the splendor of my Ancient Opulence City's two pinnacle masters! I wonder what you two wish to compete in?"

  Attentive people could tell that Ying Tianya's words placed Ye Yuan and He Shuming on equal positions. This made them very surprised.

  Ye Yuan was merely a puny little Alchemy Sovereign. He could actually let City Lord His Excellency regard him with special attention like so?

  Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders when he heard that and said, "Doesn't matter to me. Up to him then."

  Ye Yuan's attitude deeply wounded He Shuming's pride.

  Seems like under this kind of circ.u.mstances, the one displaying an indifferent attitude should be him, right?

  This brat really knew how to seize the limelight!

  "Competing in pill refinement with a measly little Alchemy Sovereign, other people will definitely say that I'm bullying you! How about this, let's compete in fire control. How's that?" He Shuming said with a cold smile.

  "Shameless! I heard that Alchemy Saint He is strongest in fire control. Isn't this bullying people?"

  "Indeed rather shameless. But who asked that Ye Yuan to posture himself? He's only at the Alchemy Sovereign Realm, yet, he had to pretend to be like an Alchemy Emperor; indifferent about anything. Then he would naturally have to pick what he's good at."

  "Actually, with Alchemy Saint He's strength, even if he doesn't choose fire control, Ye Yuan doesn't have any chances of victory either, right? Ye Yuan is biting more a little more than he can chew. Once he lose, the entire Fragrant Medicine Pavilion will be lost to him."

  He Shuming's reputation in Ancient Opulence City was extremely great. Everyone all knew that what he was most proficient in was fire control.

  He actually chose the fire control he was most skilled in at this time. It was seriously quite contemptible.

  ...

  The Fragrant Medicine Pavilion made some simple preparation work. Because fire control did not require too complicated stuff, therefore, it was finished preparing very fast.

  During this period, Qian-er had been nagging by the side constantly. Clearly, she was very displeased with Ye Yuan's decision.

  Although she knew that Ye Yuan had some skill, doing so was truly a bit too risky.

  Reaching Alchemy Saint Realm, which person would be mediocre?

  Moreover, even if Ye Yuan's m
eans were heaven-defying, what about his two disciples?

  What Ren Dong and Xiao Ruyan had to face were Alchemy Ancestor experts!

  Could his disciples be as heaven-defying as him too?

  Ren Dong and Xiao Ruyan duo dragged their feet to Ye Yuan's side and said softly, "Master, we … we …"

  Ye Yuan smiled as he patted Ren Dong's shoulder and said, "It's fine. Just take it as a game and bring out your usual training standards will do. Even if we really lose, worst comes to worst, we'll start over from the beginning once more. With Master's capabilities, what does a tiny little Fragrant Medicine Pavilion count as? Furthermore, the disciples that I, Ye Yuan, taught, if they can't even beat a few mongrels, then that's too disgraceful!"

  In his past and present life, Ye Yuan only took in these two disciples. These few years, Ye Yuan spared no efforts in teaching them too, and never keep things to himself.

  The two people's improvements, Ye Yuan took it all into his sights. Therefore, he was plenty confident in them too.

  After a round of words, although it was unable to dispel the two person's worries entirely, it made them set their minds at ease considerably.

  Yeah, a tiny little Fragrant Medicine Pavilion, what did it count as to Ye Yuan?

  The two people exchanged glances, secretly cheering themselves on.

  Everything prepared, Su Qide took the lead to fall out of the ranks. Looking at Ren Dong and Xiao Ruyan, he said with a scornful look, "Two little babies, don't blame this old man for bullying you guys! Want to blame, then blame that unreliable master of yours. It's fine if he's ignorant, but he even made his disciples come out and lose face!"

  Ren Dong was indignant once he heard that and immediately shot back, "You old fogey, Master he can mess you up just with one finger! Just who is losing face, we'll know in a while!"

  Finished talking, he turned to Ye Yuan again and said, "Master, Disciple requests to battle!"

  Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Go then!"

  As he said, Ye Yuan held his palm out. A small and exquisite lotus flower appeared. It was precisely one of Fiery's clones.

  At present, Fiery and Ye Yuan's mind were linked up. As long as Ye Yuan was willing, he could lend essence fire to anybody for use and would not get a backlash.

  "Take it. Teach that old bastard a lesson properly!"

  Chapter 735 - Fire Tree, Silver Flower

  Alchemy King and Alchemy Ancestor were separated by two major boundaries.

  But alchemists' duels were different from martial artists. A difference of two major boundaries between martial artists, even for a monster like Ye Yuan, he could not salvage it too.

  But among alchemists, outside of competing in pill refinement, Alchemy Kings still had a possibility of winning Alchemy Ancestors theoretically.

  Of course, that was also just in theory.

  If without heaven-defying inheritances, for an Alchemy King to want to win an Alchemy Ancestor, that was basically sheer nonsense.

  The acc.u.mulations and experience of an Alchemy Ancestor were simply not what Alchemy Kings could compare to.

  Especially with fire control, experience had a crucially important effect. That was the acc.u.mulation on countless times of pill refinement.

  Ren Dong and Xiao Ruyan's age were placed right there. No one felt that they could match up to a veteran Alchemy Ancestor like Su Qide in terms of fire control.

  Actually, even Ren Dong himself did not have the least bit of confidence either.

  Alchemy Ancestor expert, this was a boundary that he did not even dare to think about in the Lower Realms. And now, he was actually going to compete in fire control with such a powerhouse.

  But Su Qide's words earlier infuriated Ren Dong.

  Ye Yuan was akin to a god in his heart now. Su Qide's words touched his reverse-scale!

  "No matter what, I must have a match with this old fellow properly! Even if I can't win him, I can't lose face for Master either!" Ren Dong secretly resolved himself.

  In other people's view, this was a competition completely without chances of victory. But Ren Dong knew that Master's round was absolutely a crushing victory!

  Competing in pill refinement, the present Ye Yuan was indeed unable to refine Tier 7 medicinal pills. But if competing on fire control, so what if the person was an Alchemy Saint powerhouse?

  "Begin then, brat. I want to take a look at just how formidable the disciple taught by an Alchemy Sovereign is!"

  As he said, Su Qide's essence energy spat out. A cl.u.s.ter of red flames appeared in his palm.

  His fingers fiddled with the red flame, as if strumming a zither, dancing, giving people a feeling of soothing and relaxation.

  In-between this, he even raised his head to look at Ren Dong from time to time, but he saw that Ren Dong still did not move. He just watched him control fire stupidly.

  Seeing this scene, Su Qide was even prouder of himself.

  "Truly too formidable! Indeed well-deserving of being an existence second only to Alchemy Saint He in Ancient Opulence City! This fire controlling skill is probably only inferior to Alchemy Saint He's!"

  "Alchemy Ancestor experts are Alchemy Ancestor experts. Without repeated training and tempering, how can it be possible to master this level of fire controlling skill?"

  "Today is really an eye-opener! Alchemy Ancestor Su's fire controlling skill is already so formidable. Then formidable to what degree is Alchemy Saint He?"

  Hearing everyone's praises, Su Qide was even prouder of himself.

  He still had some strength left over at this time, so he had the thought of flaunting his skill. The movements of his hands sped up more.

  With this, it aroused more marveling.

  Rather, it was Ren Dong who still looked at Su Qide blankly, and actually seemed like he forgot to take action.

  "Hey, boy, you aren't dazed from watching, right? Huhu, indeed an inexperienced brat who has ever seen the world before. Broadened your horizons today, right?"

  He Shuming was even more delighted to see that Ren Dong was 'frightened silly.'

  Su Qide winning this match, the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion was basically half in his hands already. How could he not be delighted?

  Ren Dong seemingly only came back to his senses at this time and said absent-mindedly, "Uh, this is the fire control of Alchemy Ancestor Realm?"

  "Otherwise, what do you think? Boy, you're still young, experiencing some setbacks isn't much. With your age, to be able to cultivate to Alchemy King Realm is considered not bad. Either way, the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion won't exist anymore in the future too. Why not you come under my tutelage. I'll impart you even more ingenious fire controlling skills!" He Shuming guided gently and actually started snatching away his opponent's people already.

  He did not perceive the meaning in Ren Dong's words at all, and he even thought that Ren Dong was taken by surprise by Su Qide's fire controlling skill, that was why he would let out such an emotional sigh.

  When Ren Dong heard, he knew that He Shuming was mistaken. He shook his head and said, "If this is the fire controlling skill of Alchemy Ancestor Realm, then me winning him shouldn't be too difficult."

  He Shuming was stunned when he heard that. This brat actually dared to mess with him?

  He was just about to fly off the handle when Ren Dong moved at this time!

  Only to see him beckon with one hand. The fire lotus bloomed, similarly forming a small cl.u.s.ter of flames.

  Following that, Ren Dong's hands started moving dreamlike, while that small cl.u.s.ter of flames actually grew into a small tree under his spurring. Furthermore, it was strikingly vivid and lifelike!

  That small tree gradually germinated, growing out branches, becoming luxuriant!

  The originally still somewhat noisy Fragrant Medicine Pavilion suddenly quietened down at this time.

  While He Shuming's eyes turned into wide-saucers when he saw this scene.

  Such consummate fire controlling skill was also not the least bit inferior to
him, this Alchemy Saint!

  What fire control skill was particular about was exquisiteness. Areas that should be strong was strong, places that should be weak was weak.

  Only like this, could one let the medicinal pill receive more abundant baptizing of flames when refining pills.

  To be able to condense flames to form the shape of a small tree, this required immensely profound skill!

  Su Qide on the other hand, his skills appeared very brilliant indeed. But regarding the degree of exquisiteness in controlling flames, it was clearer worse than Ren Dong.

  "Fire tree, silver flowers!"

  Ren Dong gave a light cry. Bright-colored silver flowers actually bloomed one after another on that small tree!

  How did Su Qide still have that leisurely composure from before at this time?

  When he saw Ren Dong's skill, his entire face went green.

  He desperately urged the flames in his hand, likewise wanting to condense and form a small tree.

  Su Qide was an Alchemy Ancestor powerhouse in the end. Under forceful deploying, he really condensed out the shape of a small tree.

  It was just that this small tree's appearance, even for the martial artists who did not know fire controlling skills, they could also distinguish the good from the bad.

  At the end, Su Qide's face was flushed red. But the small tree was completely unable to become like Ren Dong's, vivid and lifelike.

  "The first match, Fragrant Medicine Pavilion wins!" Ying Tianya announced the results right away.

  Regarding this kind of result that was apparent, no one doubted it at all.

  Ren Dong put away the flames, ran in front of Ye Yuan, and said with an excited look, "Master, turns out that my fire controlling skill is already this incredible!"

  Ye Yuan smiled and said, "You don't know what's you're talking about. It's still early! Today, making you guys take action is to let you guys find a bit of confidence. But keep in mind to not be complacent! One loses by pride and gains by modesty, understood?"

  Ren Dong nodded his head like a chicken pecking for rice and said obediently, "Disciple understands!"
