“Boom!”
Red blood splattered like raindrops all around, and in an instant, the few people nearby froze, stunned. They hadn't expected Qin Xuan's strength to be so formidable.
Their brother was instantly killed by Qin Xuan before he could even react.
“Damn it, run! This person’s strength is at least in the Shangqing Realm. We are not his opponents. If we don’t leave now, it will be too late.”
The leader roared and hastily called for the others to retreat.
But Qin Xuan wouldn't give him that chance. At this moment, he sneered and swiftly pounced towards them.
“Since you’ve come, and you dared to ambush me, I will never let you go.”
Qin Xuan said, then he sneered and rushed towards one of them, crushing his skull with a single claw.
“Don’t kill me! The Jiang family sent us. Please spare us.”
At this point, someone realized he was no match and only wanted to beg Qin Xuan for a way out.
But Qin Xuan understood that if he gave them a way out, he wouldn't be giving himself one.
In an instant, he continuously rushed towards these few people, and within a few breaths, he had dealt with them all.
Then he slowly landed on the ground, looking teasingly at the coachman, who was already trembling and shaking all over.
“How about it? What do you have to say now? Tell me why you betrayed me?”
Hearing this, the coachman could no longer hold back. He plopped to his knees on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly to Qin Xuan.
“Mercy, mercy! I was temporarily possessed by greed and accepted their Spirit Stones, which made me think of betraying you. Please have mercy.”
Hearing this, Qin Xuan was somewhat surprised. He raised an eyebrow and pointed at the other person.
“Then, tell me how many Spirit Stones they gave you to kill me.”
Hearing this, the man felt a glimmer of hope. He hurriedly took out a Storage Pouch and handed it to Qin Xuan. Qin Xuan waved his hand coldly.
When he saw the Spirit Stones inside the pouch, his expression immediately turned cold.
He snorted and threw the Storage Pouch directly onto the ground.
“You dared to betray me for just one hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones? How ridiculous.”
Qin Xuan had thought the other party was bribed with a huge sum, but it turned out to be just one hundred Spirit Stones.
This made him feel very unbalanced. Could it be that I, Qin Xuan, am only worth this much?
“You fool, even if you betray me, you should at least demand ten thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones. Betraying me for one hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones? How can that be!”
Saying this, Qin Xuan coldly drew his sword and pointed it at the man.
“You have courted death. I will cut you down today.”
Hearing that Qin Xuan was angry because he had asked for too low a price, the coachman hastily nodded repeatedly.
“Next time, next time I will definitely ask for a higher price. Please, Great Master, spare my life.”
Hearing this, Qin Xuan paused. He looked at the coachman strangely, a flicker of confusion crossing his face.
“It seems I still overestimated you. You really are a fool.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Xuan swung his sword and directly beheaded the coachman.
“Truly as stupid as a pig. Did you really think I was going to kill you because the price was too low?”
After speaking, Qin Xuan returned to the carriage and looked at it. He sighed helplessly. There was no other way; he could only drive it himself.
Then Qin Xuan drove the carriage towards Tianxiang Pavilion.
Fortunately, the Tianxiang Pavilion was not too far from here. Qin Xuan drove the carriage for about half an hour and still managed to reach the destination.
Outside Tianxiang Pavilion, many people were already waiting to greet him. Upon seeing Qin Xuan’s carriage, many Alchemist Guild members immediately came forward.
“Master Qin, Guild Master Qian Hu is already waiting for you inside. The people from Grand Jin have also arrived.”
Hearing this, Qin Xuan nodded slightly.
Led by a few attendants, he quickly arrived at the third floor of Tianxiang Pavilion.
At this moment, the entire third floor of Tianxiang Pavilion had been reserved by the Alchemist Guild.
“Oh, is this the newly promoted Fifth-Rank Alchemist from your Grand Gan, Alchemist Qin Xuan?”
Seeing Qin Xuan enter, a beautifully dressed woman's eyes lit up, and she immediately asked.
Across from her, the Alchemist Guild Guild Master Qian Hu nodded and smiled as he introduced Qin Xuan to the others.
“Everyone, this is our Alchemist Guild’s newly promoted Five-Rank Alchemist. I have also invited him to this Alchemy Debate Competition.”
As soon as Qian Hu finished speaking, a man from Grand Jin looked at Qin Xuan and then shook his head disdainfully.
“So young, even if he is a Fifth-Rank Alchemist, I’m afraid he might not be formidable in an alchemy debate.”
“Or are you saying that your Grand Gan no longer has talented people for alchemy debates, to the point where you need such a young person to hold the fort?”
Listening to the provocations from Grand Jin, many people on Grand Gan’s side showed indignant expressions.
Alchemist Guild Guild Master Qian Hu’s expression changed to one of anger, but after several attempts, he still forcibly held it back.
After all, the visitors were guests, and he couldn't directly tear apart the relations between the two nations in front of so many people.
“Haha, Grandmaster Liu, you exaggerate. Although young friend Qin Xuan is a newly promoted Five-Rank Alchemist, his attainments in the Dao of Alchemy are greatly admired by all of us.”
“He is by no means one of those who make up the numbers. In my opinion, Grandmaster Liu could even exchange more ideas with him, and you will surely gain something.”
Qian Hu was trying to smooth things over, while also subtly disgusting Grandmaster Liu.
“Hmph!”
Grandmaster Liu snorted, staring at Qin Xuan and speaking bluntly.
“This old man became a Great Master at fifteen and has been one for over fifty years now.”
“I have eaten more salt than he has eaten rice. To have such a junior debate alchemy with me is simply an insult to me.”
“If your Grand Gan no longer has talented people, just say so early. I’ll go back immediately, so as not to waste time here.”
Saying this, Grandmaster Liu made a move to stand up. Hearing this, Qian Hu immediately became extremely displeased.
His face turned incredibly ugly.
Such blatant disdain for Qin Xuan was no longer just looking down on Qin Xuan.
It was looking down on the entire Alchemist world of Grand Gan.
Meanwhile, the woman beside him listened to these words with a smiling face, showing no intention of stopping him.
It was clear that this woman also thought Grandmaster Liu’s words made sense.
Hearing this, Qin Xuan smiled slightly and strode in.
“You’ve eaten more salt than I’ve eaten rice, but we’re here to debate alchemy, not to see who’s a glutton.”
“Does eating so much salt help with alchemy debate?”
As Qin Xuan spoke, the mockery on his face grew heavier.
“For an old Senior like you, the key to an alchemy debate is to debate. Since that’s the case, naturally, only after debating can the victor be determined. To boast so much without even debating, is this the rule of the Grand Jin Great Master world?”
Hearing these words, Grandmaster Liu was instantly enraged, looking as if he was overcome with anger, clearly dizzy from Qin Xuan’s words.
