Chapter 518: Chapter 513 Betting

"Who?"

Hearing such an unfriendly voice, Tong Yuan’s face changed, then he looked towards the doorway with a slightly grave expression, only to see a young swordsman, smiling as he appeared in their line of sight.

Even the elders of the Xuantian Sect were stunned at that moment, somewhat slow to react.

"Where did this milk-scented brat come from, daring to babble nonsense, prattling away? Everyone, is this how you discipline your disciples? Are you dissatisfied with me, deliberately letting this kid come here to cause trouble?" Tong Yuan saw that the newcomer was just a young man and his face grew even uglier, after which he huffed angrily.

"Master Tong, please do not misunderstand, we have no such intention."

A Great Elder from the Xuantian Sect quickly explained, then cast a stern glance at Ye Xuan, "What place do you have to speak here, disciple? Who let you barge in? Now apologize to Master Tong Yuan, this is a matter concerning our Sect Master. If anything goes wrong, can you bear the responsibility?"

"Great Elder, there’s no need to be angry. I am simply speaking the truth. If Master Tong truly had a way to cure the Sect Master, why would he drag out the time? In my view, he must have other motives. With the Sect Master in his hands, I’m afraid that even if you gave him a whole year, he wouldn’t be able to wake him."

"Shut your mouth, you have no right to judge the grand affairs of our Sect! Step back!"

The Great Elder was furious. How could this kid be so insolent? Their current situation in the Xuantian Sect was already precarious. Tong Yuan was a renowned Alchemy Master that they had invited with great effort. If Ye Xuan drove him away with his arrogance, who would cure their Sect Master?

"Oh? What a sharp-tongued little boy. You say I can’t cure your Sect Master, so do you have the ability to do so? If not, stop babbling nonsense in front of me and get out of here."

Tong Yuan sneered coldly. In his eyes, Ye Xuan was just a wet-behind-the-ears kid. What skills could he have? Even if he couldn’t cure Qin Tian, would he tolerate this youngster’s interference?

"Get out now!"

The Great Elder’s face also changed. If it were not for Ye Xuan being among the elite disciples of the Inner Sect, he would have already used force to eject him.

"Old man, how do you know I don’t have the ability to save people?"

Ye Xuan didn’t plan to leave; instead, he looked at Tong Yuan with a mocking tone, unworried and confident.

"Ignorant and arrogant boy."

Tong Yuan revealed a disdainful smile, "I’ve immersed myself in Alchemy Skill for many years. In the Yunlan Domain, there are few who can surpass me in Alchemy Skill. Are you saying you’re more capable than me?"

"Alright, Ye Xuan, enough foolishness. If you don’t step down now, I will deal with you according to sect rules." The Great Elder was running out of patience. If he let Ye Xuan continue his foolish behavior, perhaps Tong Yuan would indeed leave. How could this kid have no sense of the bigger picture?

"Great Elder, I’d like to make a bet with Master Tong to see who can awaken the Sect Master faster. The wager is 200,000 Spirit Crystals. Master Tong, do you have the guts to take this bet with me?" Ye Xuan said, grinning.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall was stunned. The Alchemy Elder who was helpless before now had a trace of mockery cross his face. Even Master Tong couldn’t cure the Sect Master quickly, so what ability did this young upstart have?

If he could do it, what was the need for them, the Alchemists?

The Great Elder, upon hearing this, his face quickly showed a look of astonishment. This kid, surely there’s a limit to joking, right?

"Ha ha ha, this is the funniest joke I’ve heard in my life. If I agreed to your bet, wouldn’t I be lowering my status?" Tong Yuan’s face was full of sneers, clearly not taking Ye Xuan seriously at all.

"Ye Xuan!"

The Great Elder was thoroughly incensed. Just as he was about to forcefully eject Ye Xuan without explanation, his actions suddenly froze. Inside the grand hall, the temperature soared abruptly, and the elders, who had previously worn faces full of mockery, now slowly gaped in disbelief, fixated on the young man in the center of the hall... and the two orbs of red and white flame that rose and surged in his palm.

Under Ye Xuan’s manipulation, the two elements swiftly merged into one, transforming in his hands in shape, size, and energy fluctuations.

"Is this... Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire?"

The Xuantian Sect’s elders in the hall were obviously not country bumpkins; they were experienced and knowledgeable. Recognizing the red and white flames in Ye Xuan’s hand, they identified it without hesitation.

"From this ball of flame, I can sense the presence of both Molten Lava Earth Core Fire and Xuanbing Cold Flame at the same time! Ye Xuan can actually manipulate this Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire so proficiently, this level of fire control ability... I’m afraid it’s not much inferior to Master Gu Nuo!"

Another exclamation rang out, the voice laden with a profound sense of astonishment. Master Gu Nuo was the number one alchemist in the Yunlan Domain, and people often made comparisons to him when mentioning masters skilled in alchemy.

Effortlessly manipulating a potent Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire required the combination of soul power, fire control techniques, and other multiple components—this was not something just anyone could achieve. Even the elders of the Xuantian Sect had not seen anyone who could control the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire so adeptly.

Ye Xuan’s current actions had, beyond a doubt, astounded them.

"Could this young man truly possess the skill in alchemy?"

The Great Elder began to question, but he had some difficulty believing it. How old was Ye Xuan, and how could he be associated with the identity of an alchemist?

"How is it possible? This kid is just so lucky to have directly mastered a merged type of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire?"

A glint of envy flashed in Tong Yuan’s eyes. Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire was an extremely rare thing for alchemists, and even he had only mastered the flame of a Demon Beast. Although it was decent, it was far inferior to Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire.

"While cultivating, I’ve also studied alchemy skill. I wonder if Master Tong has the guts to take this bet with me?"

Ye Xuan put away the flames in his palm and said with a faint smile.

"Hmph, why would I be afraid? You’re just lucky, that’s all. Alchemy skill takes years of cumulative practice to improve slowly. I’d like to see just how skilled you, young man, can be."

Tong Yuan couldn’t possibly refuse, and he had no reason to back down. How could he possibly lose to Ye Xuan? What a joke.

"Just one thing I’m very curious about—do you have two hundred thousand Spirit Crystals? I’m afraid you can’t even produce the stake for the bet," Tong Yuan said with a sneer.

"That’s easy."

With a flip of his palm, Ye Xuan revealed a silver longbow, sparkling with electric light and quickly dissipating to show the Thunder Brilliance Bow he obtained from the Evil Dragon Temple.

"If I lose, this bow is yours," Ye Xuan said, his expression unchanged.

"Fine, no problem."

The moment Tong Yuan saw the Thunder Brilliance Bow, his eyes sparkled slightly. The aura emanating from the bow was undoubtedly of Supreme Grade top-tier treasures, and the value of such a rarity, only next to a Half Saint Artifact, was worth more than two hundred thousand Spirit Crystals, not a jot less.
