”Presumptuous! Little bastard, do you even know who you’re talking to!?”

Jiang Wanli’s expression was one of surprise; he never thought Chen Fei would dig his own grave like this, offending Yee Hua Pill King, such a fool. Immediately, he sneered maliciously at Chen Fei, turned around, and clasped his fists toward Yee Hua Pill King, saying, ”Senior, if you ask me, such disrespectful, presumptuous people should be kicked out...”

However, before Jiang Wanli could finish speaking, Yee Hua Pill King acted as if he hadn’t seen him ’performing’ or heard what he said, ignoring him entirely. He furrowed his brows and looked at Chen Fei, asking, ”Then why are you here?”

Jiang Wanli saw Yee Hua Pill King actually ignored his words and turned his attention to Chen Fei. His gaze immediately became a bit flustered and vicious, glaring at Chen Fei with hostility, as if wanting to tear Chen Fei to pieces.

However, Chen Fei also ignored him completely.

”Heavenly Stem Dragon Bamboo!” Chen Fei spoke heavily, looking at the opposite party, ”Senior, earlier I saw a grown Heavenly Stem Dragon Bamboo outside. I wonder if it’s real or fake?”

As he said this, Chen Fei felt his heart pounding rapidly and erratically! He was very nervous.

Because what he was most worried about now was the Yee Hua Pill King saying the word ’fake,’ which would mean all his efforts were in vain, and he’d been tricked! This would likely frustrate him to the point of spitting out old blood from anguish.

Evidently, in his eyes, the importance of Heavenly Stem Dragon Bamboo far exceeds that of any pill inheritance. To say something arrogant and unpleasant, does Chen Fei even need to be taught alchemy?

Probably Yee Hua Pill King doesn’t even possess one percent of his skill, that’s uncertain.

So in this situation, the so-called pill inheritance of the other party truly held no attraction for him! On the contrary, the Heavenly Stem Dragon Bamboo was what he desired most. It was the key to perfecting the ”Purple Firmament Judgement Technique.”

”You’re here for the Heavenly Stem Dragon Bamboo, not for my Yee Hua’s pill inheritance!?”

Upon hearing this, Yee Hua Pill King also smiled lightly with a somewhat peculiar expression, his eyes shimmering. Evidently, he hadn’t even imagined that his dignified pill inheritance could be surpassed by a single Heavenly Stem Dragon Bamboo?

Jiang Wanli took this opportunity to speak coldly with a smile, ”Senior, I say why not kick this fool out! Such insolence... Rest assured, Senior. If Jiang Wanli obtains your pill inheritance, the future will surely live up to the esteemed name of Yee Hua!”

However, Yee Hua Pill King merely cast a slight glance at him upon hearing this. Though Jiang Wanli concealed his insincerity well, how could the former’s sharp gaze miss it? He could easily see through Jiang Wanli’s duplicity and ambition.

Such people, to be honest, were the type he most disliked when he was alive. Jiang Wanli, despite his thorough calculations, likely never imagined that his efforts to disguise himself, to curry favor with Yee Hua Pill King, had already been seen through! The impression left on the other party was very poor...

Thus, Yee Hua Pill King’s indifferent gaze fell upon Jiang Wanli’s face, calmly saying, ”Even though you awakened me to come to this Inheritance Palace, it doesn’t mean I will certainly choose one of you to be my Yee Hua’s pill inheritor, understand?”

Jiang Wanli’s expression froze, feeling extremely annoyed, This old thing, is his brain muddled from sleep!? Jiang Wanli, being able to reach the King Level Alchemist Realm at his current age, is absolutely a genius among geniuses, this old thing doesn’t choose him as his heir, who else would he choose? That little beast? Ridiculous!

At this moment, Yee Hua Pill King’s gaze also moved away from him. Yee Hua Pill King gazed at Chen Fei with interest for a long time before saying, ”If you want the Heavenly Stem Dragon Bamboo, it’s not impossible...”

Chen Fei’s eyes flickered, and he quickly asked, ”What are your requirements? Senior, please tell!”

”It’s quite simple.” Yee Hua Pill King chuckled lightly and pointed to the figures on the remaining eight high platforms, saying slowly, ”Choose one of them, if you can defeat them using alchemy, I will give you the Heavenly Stem Dragon Bamboo, what harm is there!?”

”And the same goes for you.” Yee Hua Pill King’s gaze fell back on Jiang Wanli, saying indifferently, ”If you can defeat any one of them using alchemy, then I might consider making you my registered disciple and passing on part of my pill inheritance to you!”

”Really!?” Jiang Wanli’s eyes instantly ignited with excitement, saying, ”I will certainly meet the senior’s expectations!”

”The premise is that you must be able to defeat them...” Yee Hua Pill King gave Jiang Wanli a deep look, then shook his head and looked at Chen Fei, saying, ”And you!?”

”Who are they?” Chen Fei remained calm, asking placidly. Intuition told him the figures on the remaining eight high platforms should not be simple.

”Them?” Yee Hua Pill King shrugged, his eyes revealing a hint of nostalgia, saying, ”They were the top eight of the Pill Association of Pill Saint City the year I participated... Also, I’ll kindly remind you; I was only the ninth in that competition.”

”What! You, you... Yee Hua Pill King, Senior, you were only ninth place!?” Jiang Wanli instantly reacted like a cat stepped on its tail, gasping in shock, his expression exaggerated and shocked. Ninth, ninth place? The dignified Yee Hua Pill King, the first in alchemy history of their Qiannan Ancient Kingdom, was actually only ninth in this so-called pill association? That’s insane! How is that possible...

”So that’s how it is... I was wondering why the scene in this great formation was as it is. If I’m not mistaken, you must be unwilling, Senior?” Chen Fei was slightly stunned, then smiled, saying.

The Yee Hua Pill King’s gaze moved, looking at Chen Fei, with deep eyes like an ocean scrutinizing him for a long time. Until Chen Fei felt a bit creepy, the Yee Hua Pill King suddenly shook his head and calmly said, ”Can you do it, or can’t you? I just want to hear your answer now!”

Can you do it, or can’t you?

Chen Fei smiled slightly and then inexplicably sat cross-legged, squinting his eyes, and said: ”Let him start first. Otherwise, I fear if I make the first move, he might have no room to display his skills.”

”What are you saying!?” Jiang Wanli instantly became furious, his face turned iron blue, and his eyes stared at Chen Fei, thinking how dare this little beast belittle and ridicule me like this!?

But in the next moment, the Yee Hua Pill King actually nodded and said, ”Alright, then you shall start first!”

He waved his finger and pointed directly at Jiang Wanli’s head: ”You, choose who will be your opponent!”

Jiang Wanli lifted his eyelids, a hint of contemplation flashed in his eyes, then he slowly inspected the eight high platforms carefully… unfortunately, he could not see their appearances clearly, thus had no way to distinguish them.

Moments later, he gritted his teeth and unexpectedly raised his hand towards the Yee Hua Pill King and asked, ”Senior, I wonder on which high platform the person who ranked eighth in the past is?”

Upon hearing this, Chen Fei was slightly startled, then smirked, saying nothing.

The Yee Hua Pill King was also expressionless, extending his hand and pointed at the figure on the high platform three places away to the right of Chen Fei: ”The person ranked eighth in the past is him.”

”Then I choose him as my opponent!” Jiang Wanli hastily said. The eighth-ranked person, he should have a relatively good chance to win against, as for the other few who ranked higher, although he was not lacking confidence nor assurance, avoiding unnecessary complications would still be best.

After all, now he just needs to randomly defeat one person, any more bravado or impulsive display of power is unnecessary.

”Alright. Since that’s the case, then let it begin!”

”This is the final and only competition, test! So there are no rule constraints, the only requirement is winning… Whichever pill quality is higher will be considered the winner, understand?”

Bang!

As the words from the Yee Hua Pill King fell, a dull bang followed, two exquisite and antique alchemy cauldrons flashed into existence, descending into the center of the plaza below the high platforms!

Meanwhile, the figure of the eighth-ranked person in the pill association on the high platform flashed, with a swoosh, he directly stepped down from the platform, and then his figure appeared in front of one of the alchemy cauldrons, immediately, with a puffing sound, a ghostly pale white flame gradually emerged in his hand.

”Snow, Snow Demon Bone Fire!?” Seeing the flame, Jiang Wanli was instantly like he had seen a ghost, he was stunned, his eyes stagnant in disbelief that he would see such a legendary flame here… This, this person actually possesses the Snow Demon Bone Fire? How can this be!?

Chen Fei’s eyes squinted slightly, with a hint of surprise. Because he was somewhat acquainted with this flame, and precisely because of this acquaintance, he felt surprised.

This Snow Demon Bone Fire is not a naturally cultivated Heavenly and Earthly Exotic Flame but an extracted Desolate Beast Flame from the body of a particular monster race. Within the Desolate Beasts, there is a formidable group called Snow Demons, and the Snow Demon Bone Fire must be refined from the blood of those invincible beings above the Fifth Level Demon Emperor Realm within this group.

Meaning, whether through trade or coercion, to possess this Snow Demon Bone Fire, one must have interacted with those legendary figures of the Fifth Level Demon Emperor Realm!

But that is the Fifth Level Demon Emperor Realm! Equivalent to the Human Race Primordial Core True Lord Realm and above, Ancestor of the Saint Infant level invincible existence! Yet now, a mere eighth-ranked person in a pill association possesses such prowess? This is terrifying!

Gulp~ Jiang Wanli awkwardly swallowed with a difficultly, his initial self-confidence slowly dissipated. His entire being became flustered, restless, and uneasy.

At this moment, whether it’s the Yee Hua Pill King or the person ranked eighth with the Snow Demon Bone Fire, evidently, neither would care about his comfort or discomfort.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh… Brilliant, aromatic lights flashed forth as the eighth-ranked person raised his hand, revealing densely packed, at least hundreds of extremely rare treasure medicines!

Roar! At the same time, the ghostly pale Snow Demon Bone Fire transformed into a Flood Dragon, let out a furious roar, darted downward, enveloping all those herbs, diving into the alchemy cauldron.

His alchemy has begun!
