The news of the Alchemy duel between Dan Peak and Wan Yao Valley quickly spread throughout the Azure Green Sect.
For a time, everyone in the Azure Green Sect was discussing it animatedly.
They naturally knew the reputation of Wan Yao Valley, and they were, of course, well aware of their profound skill in Alchemy.
Therefore, as soon as the news spread, the people of the Azure Green Sect were already very pessimistic about Dan Peak's chances.
"Dan Peak actually dared to accept the challenge?"
People on the various Main Peaks were all questioning it at this time.
No one thought Dan Peak could win.
"They're just bringing shame upon themselves. It would have been better to just admit defeat from the start. Now that they've made such a big deal out of it, they're only embarrassing themselves."
Upon hearing that Lei Yun Peak was one of the parties in the duel, Blood Peak and several other Main Peaks were gloating.
"Good, good. Let's thoroughly cut down this kid's arrogance and make him suffer a bit!"
"That's right. When he loses face, Dan Peak probably won't shield him anymore!"
"Once he's disgraced, we'll proactively challenge him again and humiliate him in public once more!"
The people of Blood Peak were eager to fight, already itching to confront Qin Xuan.
A Disciple from Blood Peak looked at the others with some hesitation.
"But this time, Qin Xuan is representing our Azure Green Sect. If he loses, wouldn't that mean our Azure Green Sect loses? It's our Sect that will be disgraced
"
Before he could finish, several Blood Peak Disciples next to him immediately rebuked him.
"You idiot, what do you know! This kid has a grudge with our Blood Peak."
Aside from Blood Peak, other parts of the Azure Green Sect were also abuzz with discussion.
"You said Qin Xuan is going to have an Alchemy duel with someone from Wan Yao Valley? When did he learn Alchemy?"
On Sword Peak, a white-robed woman frowned slightly, put down the teacup in her hand, and asked the man standing in front of her.
Hearing this, the man in front of her hurriedly nodded repeatedly.
"That's right, everyone is talking about it now, and I heard from the people on Dan Peak that he is very talented in Alchemy and has already received the approval of Jiang Master. He even has the qualifications to inherit Jiang Master's mantle in the future."
"Yiyi, if he continues like this, it will be troublesome. Your past grievances with him..."
This woman was Liu Yiyi, who entered the Sect at the same time as Qin Xuan. It's just that for some reason, she was now on Sword Peak.
Normally, Disciples recommended in this way could only become ordinary Outer Sect Disciples.
It was unknown how Liu Yiyi managed it, but she was now on Sword Peak.
The man in front of her had not yet finished speaking when Liu Yiyi immediately waved her hand.
"Senior Brother Qian, watch your words. We are merely Senior Brother and Junior Sister, and there is no special relationship between us. Please call Junior Sister by her full name to avoid Senior Brother Gu Cheng misunderstanding!"
"Wouldn't you agree, Senior Brother Qian Feng!"
Listening to Liu Yiyi say this, Qian Feng felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
Ever since Liu Yiyi came to the Azure Green Sect and understood it, she had become increasingly cold towards Qian Feng.
Originally, she still needed Qian Feng to help her establish herself in the Azure Green Sect.
Therefore, she occasionally smiled at Qian Feng at first.
But ever since she was introduced to those Senior Brothers by Qian Feng, Liu Yiyi was no longer just cold but distant towards him.
That's right, Liu Yiyi completely ignored him, while she grew closer and closer to the Senior Brothers Qian Feng had introduced.
One of them, an Inner Sect Disciple named Gu Cheng, even enthusiastically pursued Liu Yiyi.
This Gu Cheng was no ordinary person. Although he was just an ordinary Inner Sect Disciple of Sword Peak, he had an uncle who was an Elder of the Azure Green Sect.
This uncle also had influence on Sword Peak.
Although Qian Feng was also an Inner Sect Disciple, a low-ranking Disciple like him simply couldn't compare to Gu Cheng.
Therefore, when Gu Cheng expressed his affection, Qian Feng, though feeling stifled, could only bow his head.
Since he wanted to please Liu Yiyi, Gu Cheng certainly wouldn't let the beauty remain just an Outer Sect Disciple.
Under Gu Cheng's arrangements, Liu Yiyi joined Sword Peak that very day.
With Gu Cheng as her backing, Liu Yiyi was naturally someone no one dared to offend on Sword Peak.
Liu Yiyi had also heard about Qin Xuan humiliating the Blood Peak Disciples at Lei Yun Peak a few days ago.
At the time, she thought Qin Xuan was completely finished and was quite happy.
But in the end, that matter was left unresolved.
Upon learning the news about Qin Xuan, Qian Feng immediately went to find Liu Yiyi.
He still harbored feelings for Liu Yiyi.
Despite Gu Cheng's presence, in his opinion, Liu Yiyi still had feelings for him, but couldn't be with him because of Gu Cheng.
Therefore, when he had the chance today, he rushed to find Liu Yiyi, hoping to get closer to the beauty.
But he didn't expect that after only a few words, Liu Yiyi would so directly draw a line between them!
It must be because of Qin Xuan!
Qian Feng clenched his fists!
It must be because he hadn't eliminated Qin Xuan that Yiyi was angry, which was why Yiyi didn't want to talk to him.
As for fearing Gu Cheng's misunderstanding, he automatically took it as Liu Yiyi worrying about him and saying that to protect him from Gu Cheng.
She still has me in her heart!
Thinking this, Qian Feng clenched his fists tightly.
"Yiyi, don't worry, I won't let Qin Xuan off this time. After he loses the Alchemy duel, I'll challenge him and I'm sure I can defeat him!"
Qian Feng said confidently.
But Liu Yiyi just sneered, not taking him seriously at all.
Back then, he, an Inner Sect Disciple, couldn't even defeat Qin Xuan and was severely humiliated by him.
Now he thinks he can? That he can be Qin Xuan's opponent?
How ridiculous!
Looking at the infatuation in Qian Feng's eyes, Liu Yiyi felt a moment of trance.
Back then, Qin Xuan was also so infatuated with her, but after only three years apart, everything had changed, becoming completely different!
"This good-for-nothing still harbors improper thoughts about me. Well, let him go to his death then. With Gu Cheng here, this good-for-nothing wouldn't dare lay a hand on me."
"As for Gu Cheng..."
Liu Yiyi also felt a wave of disdain in her heart.
He was just a good-for-nothing who could only stand by relying on Family connections. Such a person simply wasn't worthy of her.
As for the fact that she became an Inner Sect Disciple by relying on Gu Cheng, she directly ignored it.
"Qin Xuan, even here you're still so brazen. Well, I want to see how long you can keep it up!"
"I will definitely make you regret what you did back then!"
Liu Yiyi said bitterly, clutching the teacup in her hand tightly.
"When is he going to have an Alchemy duel with someone from Wan Yao Valley?"
Liu Yiyi asked in a low voice.
"It's tomorrow. I heard the Sect has already set up a stage on the Peak of Dan Peak. This time, all the major Main Peaks and Elders of the Sect might come."
Qian Feng said eagerly. He was already infatuated with Liu Yiyi and naturally obeyed her every whim.
"Good, very good. Tomorrow, I will definitely watch you lose all face in front of everyone!"
While the Azure Green Sect was abuzz with discussions, Qin Xuan was on Lei Yun Peak as if nothing was happening, constantly researching how to enter the Spiritual Flame.
"Are you really not going to prepare anything beforehand?"
Han Ye also spoke with some worry.
Although he had no great skill in Alchemy, he could still discern the level of Alchemy.
The opponent daring to challenge them here naturally had sufficient confidence.
And while Qin Xuan had previously refined a Five-Rank Pill.
In his opinion, the process was quite bumpy.
Clearly, Qin Xuan was not yet very familiar with Five-Rank Pills.
In this situation, he naturally felt that Qin Xuan's chances of winning were not great.
"No need. A mere Peak Four-Rank Alchemist, what's there to prepare for?"
Qin Xuan said indifferently.
Whether it was Han Ye or Jiang Dan.
They truly underestimated his skill in Alchemy.
"What Wan Yao Valley, what Alchemy Holy Land."
Qin Xuan snorted coldly.
Although his skill in Alchemy was still far from perfect, dealing with a Five-Rank Alchemist was no problem.
After all, he had studied Alchemy with the Empress for so long.
Even though Alchemy was just a side pursuit...
But it was, after all, three hundred years of 'arduous cultivation'.
Dealing with a Disciple who had just become a Five-Rank Alchemist was naturally effortless.
