“Hmm, not bad. Miss Li, you’re quite impressive,” Qin Changqing nodded.
“So, do you still think you can decide everything? You can’t even determine the outcome of a small Alchemy Convention like this. Even if I were to take first place, I would still be powerless against the Sect’s decision, let alone you,” Li Ruoyu felt quite relieved as she spoke more and more smoothly. “I don’t know if you’ve ever heard this saying, Lord Qin?”
“What saying?”
“The more insignificant a person is, the less trouble they have. They think that what they see is everything, but little do they know that beyond their understanding, there are higher beings who manipulate everything,” Li Ruoyu said seriously. “You and I, we are such insignificant people!”
“Miss Li, you are mistaken.”
Qin Changqing smiled slightly, “Even insignificant people have a chance to turn the tide. How would you know the outcome without giving it a try?” Li Ruoyu frowned, “You’re still insisting? You can’t even beat me.”
“Of course. Like I said, how would you know without trying?”
Qin Changqing smiled faintly and stepped lightly onto the square under everyone’s gaze.
“Have you all finished refining?” He looked at the people still standing on this side, “Make way, I’m going to show off.”
“Make way, I’m going to show off!”
Everyone was dumbfounded by Qin Changqing’s words.
What are you showing off?
This is an exchange among alchemists; how can you show off?
Alchemy and fighting are different professions. Besides, the Qin family’s dominance over Yinxu Prefecture relies mostly on the prestige of the Lingxiao Sect; if not for that, the Qin family would have long been wiped out by the
Dayan Dynasty.
What are you showing off? Tell us, what can you show off?
Li Ruoyu didn’t understand either, her face full of suspicion as she looked at Qin Changqing, wondering what he was going to do.
Zhuge Wanqing suddenly felt a flutter in her heart because she thought of a possibility – the bet between her and Qin Changqing… No, it couldn’t be. How could that happen?
“Miss Zhuge!” Qin Changqing smiled and said, “I’ve heard that the disciples of
Danqing Pavilion have a natural talent for alchemy, and this Alchemy
Convention has been dominated by the Danqing Pavilion’s people. As a disciple of the Lingxiao Sect, I have a little knowledge of the Dao of Alchemy. May I ask for your guidance?”
Whoosh
The crowd erupted into a commotion.
Not to mention others, even the people of the Lingxiao Sect were dumbfounded.
“Does Brother Qin know how to refine elixirs?” Lin Dong touched the elixir in his hand that was still emitting warmth and asked hesitantly.
“I don’t know, I’ve never heard of it.’
“It’s probably, maybe, he knows a little bit, I guess.”
The disciples of Dan Peak didn’t have much confidence. And then the surrounding alchemists were even angrier.
“What does this Qin Changqing want to do?”
“A secular cultivator, actually presuming to challenge Saintess Zhuge?”
“He’s just relying on the backing of the Lingxiao Sect.”
“Could it be that the Lingxiao Sect is unhappy with the competition results and wants Qin Changqing to cause trouble?”
“We, the alchemists, do not agree!”
“Yes, we don’t agree!”
The voices grew louder and louder, and even some Nascent Soul Realm bigwigs stood up in the end.
In the distance, Su Xiaoyue and the others watched the scene, while Xi’er nibbled on a piece of watermelon she had pulled out from somewhere. “Big Brother should know how to refine elixirs, right?” she said.
“Yes,” Liu Siqi said, “He can also set up formations.”
“My husband can do anything.”
“Can he beat that Saintess?”
“Don’t know.”
“He should be able to. He’s my husband.”
“Hmm, I don’t know.”
“But my husband said he’s going to show off… uh.”
The ladies chatted casually, looking quite relaxed.
They weren’t worried about Qin Changqing running into any issues at all.After all, they knew very well what kind of person their husband was, spending day and night with him.
Everyone was furious.
Qin Changqing finally experienced what is called the power of fans, like the idiom “The emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is anxious.”
He had just proposed a contest with Zhuge Wanqing, and before she could respond, the surrounding alchemists eagerly stepped forward, blocking him like they were protecting Athena.
It has to be said that alchemists are indeed stubborn and have a temper, especially when they are angry together.
When these alchemists gather together, it forms a huge force.
Jin Tianxia was anxiously watching from a distance, vigilantly staring at the surroundings, afraid that someone would make a ruthless move behind the scenes. The Golden Elixir Realm was not a big deal, but there were quite a few Nascent Soul old monsters who didn’t care about martial ethics.
“Hey, hey, hey, why are you all so agitated?” Qin Changqing dug his ears, “I’m challenging Miss Zhuge, she hasn’t even responded, and you’re all freaking
“Qin Changqing, what’s your status? Are you even worthy of competing with the Saintess?”
“If you want to challenge her, pass our level first.”
“Right, pass our level first!”
In the crowd, Liao Chao finally seized the opportunity. He jumped out and said, “Qin Changqing, you said this old man is not qualified, so what qualifications do you have to compete with the Saintess? You’re just a little family head, what qualifies you to say such words?”
Qin Changqing took a faint glance.
“Well, I didn’t mean to say you’re not qualified. It’s not just about you.”
As he spoke, he looked around at the others and said, “I think everyone here is trash.”
Whoosh!
Powerful auras erupted one after another.
Cultivators, especially those with high levels of cultivation and respected alchemists, were usually treated with reverence every day. Who wasn’t worshipped by others?
Qin Changqing’s words made them unbearable.
“How dare you!” Liao Chao’s eyes widened with anger, and the spiritual qi in his hand turned into a flame, which then condensed into a Flood Dragon and fiercely pounced on Qin Changqing.
His cultivation was at the seventh level of the Golden Elixir realm, and his combat experience is impressive. Along with his strong fire control technique, he was considered a master among his peers.
Qin Changqing only had a Tier 3 Golden Elixir cultivation. If it weren’t for the backing of the Lingxiao Sect, Liao Chao would have taken action long ago.
However, at this moment, Qin Changqing had offended everyone, so even the Lingxiao Sect didn’t dare to act recklessly.
When he made a move, he represented all the alchemists present!
Bang!
The Fire Flood Dragon seemed lifelike as it soared into the sky, bringing with it a massive surge of flames, which looked very powerful.
The people of the Lingxiao Sect were about to block this strike, but they saw Qin Changqing wave his hand, indicating for them not to intervene. Then, he grabbed the huge head of the Flood Dragon with his right hand. An invisible force appeared between Qin Changqing’s palm and the Flood Dragon, preventing it from hurting him no matter how fiercely it roared.
Everyone was shocked.
“How is this possible!?” Liao Chao showed an expression of disbelief.
Qin Changqing shook his head, “Trash.”
With that, he waved his fingers and struck the Flood Dragon’s body with both hands, forming a seal.
“Take it.” The Flood Dragon was actually snatched away by Qin Changqing and, under his control, turned and pounced back at Liao Chao.
For a moment, Liao Chao didn’t react, and the Flood Dragon hit him. The flames exploded instantly, causing a loud boom.
Although Liao Chao was a Tier 7 Golden Elixir expert, this attack didn’t kill him, but rather severely injured him. However, at this point, he couldn’t care less about his injuries.
“You, you, you… you actually…” Liao Chao pointed his trembling finger at Qin Changqing.
Fire control technique!
All the alchemists thought of these four words.
If it weren’t for being an alchemist, no one would specifically practice fire control techniques.
But just now, Qin Changqing’s method was clearly far superior to Liao Chao’s.
Doesn’t that mean that Qin Changqing is also an alchemist, and his skill is even higher than Liao Chao’s?
“Who are you, exactly?” Liao Chao was dumbfounded.
Is this just an ordinary family head?
A disciple from the lower mundane world?
Everyone wanted to know the answer to this question. Li Ruoyu’s beautiful eyes were astonished, and Zhuge Wanqing stared even more closely at Qin Changqing, as if she wanted to see something from him..
