Alchemy Master

Chapter 671, Mo Xun

“Gongshu Clan? Lu Clan?”

Upon hearing these two Clan names, the white-robed young man murmured softly. However, it seemed that regarding these two Clan names, his face showed no trace of wariness.

“If our reception has been inadequate, it is indeed our Clan’s oversight. Today is the day of competition amongst our Clan’s younger generation, and it is also our Mo Clan’s grand celebration. We hope you can understand.”

Having said this, the white-robed young man’s expression suddenly turned cold, and his voice became icy. “However, it is not your place to discipline members of our Mo Clan, is it?”

“We don’t wish to cause trouble. However, when someone comes knocking on our door looking for it, you can’t blame me for that.” Regarding this, Qin Yichen merely shrugged his shoulders, adopting a helpless appearance.

“Hehe, what truly arrogant words.”

The white-robed young man’s eyes grew somewhat gloomy. From Qin Yichen’s tone, he detected absolutely no respect that outsiders should show towards the Mo Clan!

“Aren’t you looking for someone? If you compete with me, I’ll take you there. How about that?” After pausing for a moment, the white-robed young man’s eyes narrowed slightly as he spoke.

“Compete in what?” Lu Xiaoguan frowned and asked.

“Since you are all remnants of the Lu Ban Sect, then naturally we shall follow Lu Ban Sect’s rules and compete in the Dao of Crafting.” The white-robed young man smiled, his manner extremely arrogant.

Upon hearing these words, both Lu Xiaoguan and Gongshu Zhiyi’s expressions changed.

If he had suggested competing in Spiritual Energy cultivation, they would not have cared at all. After all, Qin Yichen’s Spiritual Energy cultivation was evident to all. Although this young man had already broken through to the Earth Grade, they had sufficient confidence in Qin Yichen.

But if they were to compete in the Dao of Crafting…

In their memory, since leaving the Gongshu Clan, Qin Yichen had not carved anything. How could he compare with Mo Clan members who had grown up in such a competitive environment!

“Sure, I agree to your proposal.” However, before they could refuse, Qin Yichen’s voice had already rang out.

“Good, you sure have courage!” Hearing Qin Yichen accept the challenge, a flash of surprise crossed the white-robed young man’s face.

*Clap! Clap!*

As this young man clapped his hands, from the dark mass of people in the crowd, quite a few individuals came forward carrying two massive pieces of wood. Simultaneously, that dark mass of crowd also turned their attention this way.

“Oh? Is Mo Xun going to compete with them in the Dao of Crafting?”

“Tsk, don’t know which remnant Clan produced these ignorant brats. Truly newborn Calves unafraid of Tigers. Although Mo Xun isn’t the number one amongst our Clan’s younger generation, his ability can definitely rank in the top five!”

“How absurd!”

Waves of clamorous voices continuously rang out from the sea of people. Those numerous Mo Clan members all cast mocking gazes towards the three.

“Hundred-years-old Moving Hard Wood?”

When those carrying the massive wood drew near, Lu Xiaoguan’s pupils contracted as he exclaimed.

Moving Hard Wood was one of the best choices for carving!

Within their Lu Clan, there were specially designated areas for cultivating Moving Hard Wood Trees. However, because Moving Hard Wood had extremely demanding growth requirements and grew extremely slowly, their Clan’s production was extremely limited.

Only some Elders and outstanding members of the younger generation were qualified to use such materials.

Yet in the Mo Clan, for what they considered merely a farcical competition, they were using such rare materials. From this, one could see that the Mo Clan’s wealth far exceeded both their Clans!

As for Lu Xiaoguan’s reaction, Mo Xun seemed to have anticipated it. His gaze was like looking at a few country bumpkins, filled with disdain.

In the centre of the dark mass of people, there stood a high platform.

On the platform, five black-robed Elders stood majestically, their eyes all profound beyond measure. They simply stood there quietly, yet a subtle fluctuation continuously rippled outward from around their bodies.

These five Elders were all Mo Clan Elders!

Regarding what was happening over there, through reports from the Clan members, they had already gained some understanding.

However, they had no intention of stopping it.

In their view, Mo Xun’s approach very much suited their taste. If not for fear of earning the ugly reputation of bullying the young generation, they might have taken action themselves.

Those who dared to run wild in the Mo Clan were rare to encounter even once in a thousand years!

*Thud!*

Soon, two pieces of hundred-year-old Moving Hard Wood, each about three metres long and over a metre wide, were placed on either side of the two competitors.

“Young man, you still have one last chance. If you kowtow and admit your error now, I can forgive your previous rudeness!” Mo Xun’s lips curved into a sinister smile as he grinned at Qin Yichen.

This attitude showed not the slightest courtesy towards them as fellow Lu Ban’s Descendants. Only self-centred arrogance!

“I hope your mastery in the Dao of Crafting is as formidable as your slick tongue.” Qin Yichen glanced at him, and with one sentence caused the latter to forcibly swallow back the remaining mocking words.

“Good! Good! Good!” As the most dazzling genius amongst the Mo Clan’s younger generation, when had he ever been mocked like this, much less by someone from a Foreign Clan?

Mo Xun trembled with rage, his finger pointing at Qin Yichen somewhat uncontrollably, his eyes filled with gloom.

It seemed as if he was already contemplating how to deal with this bastard after showing him what it meant to be a frog at the bottom of a well!

After all, they were fellow Lu Ban’s Descendants, so it would not be good to completely tear off the facade and strike with deadly force. But if he let them off too easily, it would be difficult to vent his hatred.

“Is he seeking death?”

“Doesn’t he know that Mo Xun’s Spiritual Energy cultivation has already advanced to the Earth Grade? What can he use to compare with Mo Xun?”

“Truly laughable, actually daring to compete with Mo Xun! He is someone who has entered the Spiritual Harmony stated multiple times.”

“Hehe, they probably don’t even know what Spiritual Harmony means, do they?”

Amidst waves of mocking gazes, derisive voices erupted without the slightest restraint.

*Hmph!* After that, Mo Xun did not waste any more words on Qin Yichen, because he discovered that the latter’s eloquence was simply not on the same level as his. Rather than clash and come away battered, it was better to quickly end this farce and properly humiliate them!

*Swish! Swish!*

A cold gleam flickered in Mo Xun’s hand, and then his palm danced rapidly across the hundred-year Moving Hard Wood. Shreds of wood chips quickly fell away.

“Worthy of being Mo Xun. It seems in the previous competition, he was still holding back!”

“*Hiss…* Looking at Mo Xun’s technique, it seems he wants to carve a Puppet Beast!”

Following Mo Xun’s movements, after two exclamations of wonder arose from the crowd, it became quiet. Each Mo Clan member stared intently at Mo Xun’s hand movements, afraid of disturbing him or missing anything.
