Chapter 140: Chapter 131: Intriguing!

The Ten Thousand Dao Furnace Alchemy Skill was a Perfect level Alchemy Skill.

Su Tan had mastered this Perfect level skill. He couldn’t see, but he could tell good from bad simply by scent. The scent originated from the elixir itself. It was one of the crucial indicators reflecting the elixir’s essence, which could serve as a basis for judgment. In the eyes of expert Alchemists, medicinal scent could accurately determine the quality of an elixir.

Yun Buliu’s Alchemy Technique had absorbed Su Tan’s Perfect Alchemy Skill. Even though he had only recently been exposed to it, it was already of infinite benefit to him. Unknowingly, it had resolved the alchemy problems he had long struggled to overcome, improving his Alchemy Skill and allowing him to refine better elixirs. Moreover, since Su Tan had personally demonstrated the methods for elevating an elixir’s quality last time, Yun Buliu should have gained some insights. All of this meant that Yun Buliu’s Alchemy Skill was bound for a breakthrough.

The Red Fire Glaze Pill was unique among King Level elixirs. Its difficulty was universally recognized as being on par with Saint Level elixirs. Some Alchemists even classified it directly as a Saint Grade, which was enough to show the Red Fire Glaze Pill’s distinctiveness. It was actually just lacking a bit of heat control to reach the Saint Grade. Crossing that final threshold would allow it to enter the domain of a Holy Pill.

And Su Tan had already opened that door for him.

Yun Buliu clearly already possessed the ability to turn the Red Fire Glaze Pill into a Holy Pill, so why did he lack confidence? Why did he lock the door from the inside? He must be unaware of his own strength! He didn’t know he could refine a Holy Pill!

*Sigh*...

It was clearly a guaranteed win!

Su Tan wondered if Yun Buliu had tried to refine the Red Fire Glaze Pill again after leaving his place last time. If he had, Yun Buliu would have realized his true strength. However, judging by Yun Buliu’s recent performance, it was obvious he genuinely hadn’t. He didn’t know he could refine a Saint Grade Red Fire Glaze Pill.

Thinking of this, Su Tan was speechless.

As for why Yun Buliu’s furnace exploded and why he failed, it was just as Yun Feng had said. Yun Buliu thought he was merely refining a King Level elixir, meaning he would still lose even if he succeeded. Compounded by Yun Feng’s provocations, he failed to maintain a steady state of mind. Thus, the furnace exploded.

An exploded furnace was just an exploded furnace. Yet, Yun Buliu looked utterly desolate! He believed he deserved to lose and simply couldn’t win. This was what left Su Tan feeling helpless. In Yun Buliu’s heart, it was exactly as Yun Feng claimed: so what if he refined the Red Fire Glaze Pill? A King’s Dao level ultimately remained a King’s Dao level... He would still lose! He didn’t even feel it was a pity that the furnace had exploded.

"Master, oh, Master. I didn’t expect that after all these years, you still haven’t made any progress. What a piece of trash. You’ve truly disappointed your disciple," Yun Feng gloated even more upon seeing Yun Buliu’s furnace explode.

Yun Buliu’s face alternated between pale and green. He was overwhelmed with shame and anger. Facing his former disciple, who was now a Saint Grade Alchemist, he indeed couldn’t muster the will to resist. That was a Saint Grade! Even though Yun Buliu was furious, the other party was speaking the truth.

"Can you not even refine a complete elixir anymore?

"I said long ago that I would defeat you with my own hands and take your life myself. It seems my wish will come true today. But... I’m not happy at all. You are too weak. You give me absolutely no sense of accomplishment!"

Provoked, Yun Buliu almost collapsed headfirst.

Hearing Yun Feng’s words, the surrounding onlookers frowned. This was simply too arrogant. Too much! However... they were powerless to intervene. This was a duel between Yun Buliu and Yun Feng! A duel Yun Buliu had agreed to himself. By the looks of it... he had indeed lost. One must accept the consequences of a bet. What else could be done?

"Shut up! You unfilial bastard! You are worse than a beast! What right do you have to insult the benefactor who raised you? Even a vicious tiger knows gratitude and family affection. But what about you? You’re worse than a wild animal, yet you still have the nerve to bark here!" Just then, a voice shouted in reprimand.

Yun Feng looked back and smiled. "I was wondering who it was, but it turns out to be my junior sister. What... does your heart ache for this old geezer? Aching for this piece of trash? Tsk, tsk," Yun Feng let out a bizarre noise.

He looked Shangguan Xiu’Er up and down as she stepped onto the stage to support Yun Buliu. His gaze swept over her like a blade, making one feel a prickling sensation on their back and completely uncomfortable.

"I didn’t expect that after not seeing you for some time, you’ve become even more luscious, junior sister. How about this... stop following that old piece of trash and come to me. I guarantee I’ll let you live a much more comfortable life, give you more glory, take your strength to the next level, and make you feel heavenly in every single aspect..." Yun Feng shamelessly teased his junior sister on the stage, wickedly and wantonly violating Shangguan Xiu’Er with his gaze.

"Bah, disgusting!" Shangguan Xiu’Er naturally didn’t give him a pleasant look.

"Heh heh... disgusting..." Yun Feng’s eyes sharpened like a falcon’s, his teasing smile turning sinister and cold. "That I’ve taken a fancy to you is a blessing you’ve cultivated over several lifetimes. Do you really think you’re some peerless beauty?

"We are from the same sect, so don’t say I didn’t give you a chance. Submit to me, and you’ll eat well and live luxuriously. Otherwise, get lost right now! The grudge between Yun Buliu and me is not something a small fry like you can interfere in!"

"I challenge you!" Shangguan Xiu’Er couldn’t hold back anymore, shouting in exasperation. "I will clear my master’s name!"

Hearing this, Yun Feng’s eyes flickered in disbelief. This woman... actually said that.

"What did you say? I didn’t hear you!"

"I challenge you to a duel! Do you dare accept?" Shangguan Xiu’Er declared resolutely.

"Haha..." Yun Feng laughed wildly, looking down at Shangguan Xiu’Er as if she were a mere ant, a joke. "You dare challenge me? Do you know what challenging me means?"

"It means either you die or I perish!" Shangguan Xiu’Er said calmly.
