“What do you propose?”
Sheng Shaoqing’s gaze was now cold and menacing as he looked at Ye Wushuang.
“Simple,” Ye Wushuang said with a smile. “Since you insist on a duel in elixir refining, there should be new stakes involved.”
“If you win me, Shen Yunrui lives!”
“If you lose to me, Shen Yunrui dies, and so do you!”
As Ye Wushuang’s words fell, the entire hall fell into a sudden, deathly silence, followed by gasps of astonishment echoing through the air…
This young man named Ye Wushuang was truly ruthless and decisive!
The first time he had debated with Shen Yunrui, it had been a gamble with their lives.
And now, it was the same!
At this moment, Mu Qiqi was also stunned.
Was Ye Wushuang really that desperate?
She had previously encouraged Ye Wushuang to step forward, hoping that defeating the Shengdan Pavilion would avenge the Ye clan from years ago.
But now, seeing Ye Wushuang’s demeanor, it seemed he was determined to eliminate as many from the Shengdan Pavilion as possible!
This kind of gamble left no room for maneuvering at all.
Ye Wushuang took a step forward and looked at Sheng Shaoqing with a faint smile. “Noble Young Master Sheng Shaoqing, do you dare?”
Sheng Shaoqing’s face darkened as he glared at Ye Wushuang, his killing intent leaking out.
“If you dare not…”
Ye Wushuang paused, and the man in the black robe holding the long knife flickered his blade again, the cold light of the blade shimmering.
“Dare not?”
At that moment, Sheng Shaoqing sneered, “You overestimate yourself.”
At this moment, Shen Yunrui was almost in tears.
He had fallen into the hands of this young man, Ye Wushuang, and he did not want to die. But he was even more afraid that Young Master Sheng Shaoqing would gamble his life for him.
However, upon hearing that Sheng Shaoqing accepted the challenge, Shen Yunrui breathed a sigh of relief.
Sheng Shaoqing’s elixir refining skills had been personally taught by a high-ranking elixir master from the Shengdan Sect. There was no way he could lose to this country bumpkin, Ye Wushuang.
Moreover, even if Sheng Shaoqing lost, the people of the Qingyun Pavilion would never dare to kill him.
Mu Qiqi pulled at Ye Wushuang’s sleeve and whispered, “Are you sure you can do this?”
“No one would joke with their own life,” Ye Wushuang replied with a smile.
At that moment, Sheng Shaoqing said calmly, “Very well, then let us randomly select three first-grade spiritual elixirs from the elixirs sold by the Qingyun Pavilion. You and I will use the same ingredients and the same elixir furnace, and we will begin refining under everyone’s watchful eyes.”
“Whoever produces elixirs of higher quality shall be declared the winner!”
“Agreed!”
Ye Wushuang nodded.
Soon, an elixir master from the Qingyun Pavilion fetched paper and pen, wrote down the names of various first-grade spiritual elixirs, and placed the scrolls into a prepared wooden box.
Sheng Shaoqing smiled confidently and said, “Then let Lady Qing draw three elixirs at random!”
Qing Mengli stepped forward, her jade-like hand delved into the wooden box, and she pulled out three pieces of paper.
“Harmony Qi Pill!”
“Break Calamity Pill!”
“Purify Meridian Pill!”
Seeing the names of these three first-grade spiritual elixirs, many people’s eyes gleamed with anticipation.
The Harmony Qi Pill was a lower-tier first-grade spiritual elixir, used to help martial artists in the Condense Meridian realm calm their energy and focus their spirit.
The Purify Meridian Pill was similar to the Moisturize Meridian Pill, both used to nourish the meridians. The Purify Meridian Pill was for martial artists in the Condense Meridian realm, while the Moisturize Meridian Pill was for those in the Refine Body realm. The Purify Meridian Pill was considered a mid-tier first-grade spiritual elixir.
As for the Break Calamity Pill… this was the top-tier first-grade spiritual elixir, used by martial artists in the Condense Meridian realm to break through their cultivation barriers, dispel calamity, and purify themselves.
It had to be said that the three elixirs Qing Mengli had drawn were truly a test of a first-grade spiritual elixir master’s true refining abilities.
Soon, the elixir masters of the Qingyun Pavilion prepared the ingredients and elixir furnaces, and they were brought up one by one.
The onlookers around made way.
Today, they had not expected to witness the discussion between Master Cheng Yuanbai and Master Shen Yunrui, and then see Shen Yunrui lose to an unknown young man, Ye Wushuang. Now, they were about to see a contest of elixir refining between these two young talents.
Sheng Shaoqing had recently gained quite a reputation in the capital. Many of the first-grade spiritual elixirs sold by the Shengdan Pavilion were refined by this young genius elixir master.
As for Ye Wushuang, no one knew the extent of his elixir refining skills, but judging by his earlier discussion, he was definitely not an ordinary person.
Who would win?
No one could say for certain!
