Chapter 1695 - 1723: Accepting the Challenge
The value of a single Holy Pill recipe far surpasses hundreds or even thousands of Holy Artifacts, making it infinitely more precious.
Ye Feng said calmly, "I can show you the first half of the recipe first, so you can verify its authenticity!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Feng flicked his arm, sending the half-sheet of the recipe shooting towards Dan Xuan. Dan Xuan grabbed it and then turned to the surrounding alchemy masters, "Everyone, take a look together!"
Soon, everyone stared at the half-sheet in Dan Xuan’s hand. Instantly, excitement surged through them, their bodies trembling uncontrollably. These people, having spent at least a century studying alchemy, could easily discern the truth.
The half-sheet before them had no flaws, it was indeed genuine.
They were excited, knowing that this was the recipe for a Holy Pill, an absolute Supreme Treasure for any alchemy master.
Ye Feng said nonchalantly, "How is it? If you accept my challenge and win, the pill is yours! If you lose, I will take something from your Pill Hall!"
Dan Xuan immediately laughed, "Agreed! But, our Pill Hall isn’t a place that just anyone can threaten. If you lose, not only must you give us the complete recipe, but your life must remain in our Pill Hall as well!"
"Mr. Ye, no! The Pill Hall represents the pinnacle of alchemy in the Spirit Martial Continent. Winning is exceedingly difficult! You mustn’t agree to this!" Liu Huayuan was anxious, unable to fathom why Ye Feng would challenge the Pill Hall.
However, Ye Feng remained composed and fearless, "Alright!"
Dan Xuan smiled slightly, and the surrounding alchemy masters looked at Ye Feng with scornful eyes, ready to gloat. They believed Ye Feng would undoubtedly lose today, leaving not only the recipe but also his life there.
At this moment, Dan Xuan smiled slightly, stepped forward, and spoke slowly, "I recently advanced to the level of a Second Dao Level Alchemy Master, so let me compete with you. I’ll let you see why our Pill Hall is unmatched in alchemy!"
"Second Dao Level Alchemy Master!" Liu Huayuan was astounded. A Second Dao Level Alchemy Master is usually at least a thousand years old, yet Dan Xuan looks so young, indicating his extraordinary prowess in alchemy.
As he spoke, Dan Xuan stepped forward, and everyone watched him and Ye Feng with avid anticipation.
"This kid is so unlucky, overestimating himself by challenging our Pill Hall, and the first he faces is the foremost genius of the youngest generation in Spirit Martial Continent’s first branch. He’s courting death for sure, he’s bound to lose!"
Everyone gossiped privately, predicting Ye Feng’s certain defeat, with no chance of victory.
Then, Dan Xuan walked up to Ye Feng and said indifferently, "Kid, let’s begin~"
Ye Feng shook his head and scoffed, "I said I am challenging all the alchemy masters in the Pill Hall, not just you, a useless one. You’re no match for me, let all the alchemy masters come at me!"
"What!" Upon hearing Ye Feng, everyone was momentarily stunned, staring at him in shock. No one anticipated Ye Feng’s arrogance to this extent, declaring a challenge against all the alchemy masters.
This was completely unacceptable for everyone, yet Ye Feng remained calm and carefree, as if discussing something easy, something he could effortlessly achieve, as though it was no big deal.
"Ridiculous, you think you can challenge all our alchemy masters? I alone can easily crush you!" Dan Xuan yelled, unwilling to accept Ye Feng’s provocation, and others around were equally displeased.
The crowd jeered louder, "How absurd, who do you think you are? Challenging all of our Pill Hall’s alchemy masters? Brother Dan Xuan is the foremost alchemy genius among the youngest generation of our Pill Hall, already a Second Dao Level Alchemy Master at a young age, defeating you would be child’s play!"
Ye Feng’s face remained disdainful, shaking his head, "A mere Second Dao Level Alchemy Master, what’s the big deal? Not just a Second Dao Level Alchemy Master, even your Holy Pill Main Hall’s Hall Master is but a joke to me. Enough talk, everyone come at me; one is not enough!"
"Arrogant!" Instantly, almost everyone was triggered, shouting wildly, wishing they could tear Ye Feng apart, unable to believe Ye Feng’s audacity in dismissing even a Holy Pill Master.
Even Liu Huayuan’s face turned exceptionally dark, feeling immensely embarrassed, thinking Ye Feng’s boast was ridiculously laughable, even disregarding a Holy Pill Master made him question Ye Feng’s sanity.
"Bastard! Daring to insult alchemy masters, kill him, such a person is unworthy of competing with us!" An alchemy master from the Pill Hall shouted in anger, as two guards immediately charged towards Ye Feng, their speed reaching the maximum.
Yet Ye Feng stood still, motionless, as the two guards were about to attack him.
"Who dares to harm my master!" Liu Huayuan yelled angrily, True Essence erupted instantly, transforming into a mighty wave over a hundred feet tall, crashing directly into the two guards, while Dao Sect pressure exploded, a Dao Pattern emerged on his brow, imposing immense pressure onto the guards.
"Bang!" With a dull sound, the guards were utterly unable to withstand the powerful True Essence wave, sent flying backwards immediately.
"Dao Realm Dao Sect!" Everyone stared at Liu Huayuan in shock, eyes filled with awe.
At this moment, they seemed to understand why Ye Feng dared to be so arrogant, because beside him was a Dao Realm strongman from the Dao Sect, with such combat power, no one in the Pill Hall division could match Liu Huayuan.
Liu Huayuan frowned, looking at Ye Feng and saying, "Mr. Ye, we should leave now. The alchemy standard of the Pill Hall is terrifyingly high; winning won’t be easy. If we leave now, there’s still time..."
Ye Feng remained relaxed, "Don’t worry, just a mere branch hall, no big deal!"
