Chapter 83: The Peerless Pill Venerable (11)
Su Chen narrowed his eyes. He had heard every single word spoken by the disciple from the Yang Pill Sacred Land.
Among the five great domains of the Heavenly Profound Realm, the Central Continent stood supreme, the Southern Barbarian Lands were the weakest, and the Eastern Wasteland ranked just above it. After the devastating war between the Southern and Western Regions, the Southern Barbarian Lands had fallen into utter decline—barely able to produce even a handful of participants worthy of attending a grand alchemy event. The Eastern Wasteland had quietly taken its place as the new weakest.
Bai Qingyu clenched his teeth so hard his jaw ached. He wanted nothing more than to smash his fist into the face of the Yang Pill disciple. For the first time, he truly understood Su Chen. Sometimes, raw martial power proved far more useful than pill dao.
Yang Pill Sacred Land was a supreme orthodoxy of the pill path; its inheritance in alchemy far surpassed that of any martial sacred land. Bai Qingyu had no confidence that he could defeat their genius. He decided to withdraw and search for opportunities elsewhere.
As he turned to leave, a familiar figure appeared like a ghost at his side.
"Su Chen?"
Bai Qingyu recognized him instantly.
Su Chen ignored Bai Qingyu entirely. His gaze settled on the disciple from the Yang Pill Sacred Land. The look was light, almost casual—yet it made the Yang Pill disciple's heart tighten. The leader among them unconsciously took several steps back.
Realizing his own embarrassment a moment later, the young alchemist from the Yang Pill Sacred Land flushed with shame and fury. "Another Eastern Wasteland barbarian? Do you dare compete against me? The loser must withdraw from the alchemy conference!"
