Chapter 522: 7 Formed Pills
Ximang had not expected Jing Yan to actually dare to challenge him. So, for a moment, he was somewhat dazed.
It must be said that Ximang, a Seventh-level Alchemist, had quite a reputation throughout Pill Country. Ever since he had become a Seventh-level Alchemist, many people had fawned over and complimented him, not only people from Youhai Commerce but also those outside who showed him great respect. And now, a young alchemist in his twenties dared to challenge him in alchemy!
Ximang furrowed his brow.
There was a cold smirk at the corner of his mouth, tinged with disdain.
"Kid, I, Ximang, am not someone you can just challenge whenever you wish. However, I can give you an opportunity. I have a disciple named Qiu Fang who is merely a Fifth-level Alchemist, so how about this, you can try competing with him in alchemy." Ximang’s gaze shifted away from Jing Yan.
He was putting on airs.
Ximang simply did not believe that Jing Yan was a Sixth-level Alchemist, and given his status, he was naturally not someone who could be challenged by just anyone. What was his status? What was Jing Yan’s status? If he were to compete in alchemy with Jing Yan, even if he could surpass Jing Yan, there would be nothing worth boasting about.
In his view, the gap between the two was too vast. However, if he outright refused, he was a bit worried about what others might say, and it would also make it difficult for President Qing Ru to back down. Therefore, he would have his disciple Qiu Fang deal with this arrogant young man. His disciple Qiu Fang had exceptional talent in alchemy as well, becoming a Fifth-level Alchemist before the age of sixty.
Across the entire continent, Qiu Fang’s talent in alchemy was also remarkable. Letting Qiu Fang handle Jing Yan would certainly be no problem.
Qiu Fang was also one of the alchemists representing Youhai Commerce in the upcoming alchemy ceremony. Qiu Fang and the others’ participation in the competition used internal slots from Youhai Commerce.
"A Fifth-level Alchemist?" Jing Yan chuckled upon hearing this.
"Yes, a Fifth-level Alchemist. If you can defeat my disciple Qiu Fang, then I, Ximang, will recognize you and apologize to you," Ximang declared in a low voice, decisively.
