“No, no, he’s just at the Fourth Order lower level, just like you,” Qin Changqing said with a grin. “However, if you don’t dare to compete, it’s no big deal. After all, your Danqing Pavilion has a big reputation, and they say you’re the number one alchemy genius in the North Region.”

Zhuge Wanqing was furious: “If you don’t believe it, we can just compare and find out. But of course, I want to compete under equal conditions. Even if your friend is at the same Fourth Order lower level, if he has been immersed in this realm for years, how can I compare with him?”

Qin Changqing shrugged: “Don’t worry, I think he’s even younger than you, maybe under sixty. He’s not an old man, and he’s very handsome, suave, and extraordinary.”

“Impossible! ”

Zhuge Wanqing didn’t believe it.

If there really was such a character in Tianchuan State, she should have known about it long ago.

Under sixty, Fourth Order lower level, an 80% chance of refining a top-grade elixir?

Do you believe it?

Anyway, she didn’t believe it.

And among the elixirs sold by the Qin family, there had never been a Fourth Grade elixir.

“Fine! I’ll bet with you!” Zhuge Wanqing’s fighting spirit flared up. Since childhood, she hadn’t met anyone with a higher alchemy talent than hers… “Wait a moment.” Zhuge Wanqing soon felt something was amiss. “If I lose, why do I have to become a Taoist Couple with you? Shouldn’t it be with him?”

Right, what did this have to do with Qin Changqing?

Zhuge Wanqing almost got confused.

Only then did she realize something was wrong.

“Uh.” Qin Changqing grinned awkwardly. “It’s all the same. My friend and I have a great relationship, and he’s focused on alchemy while I enjoy the worldly life.

He refines elixirs for me.’

“What, Miss Zhuge, don’t you have the confidence? Is that why you’re looking for an excuse?”

As it turned out, provocation, though mean, was effective.

Qin Changqing felt that, whether Zhuge Wanqing or Li Ruoyu, their segment was a bit too low.

If they were placed in his previous life, any girl from some platform, blog, or website could easily tear them apart.

However, that was exactly the kind of girl Qin Changqing loved true love! “You’re too impulsive. You shouldn’t have agreed to his bet.”

In the carriage outside the Qin Mansion, the elderly woman who had been protecting Zhuge Wanqing said immediately after she came out of the mansion, “Do you have any idea how much damage it would do to Danqing Pavilion’s reputation if word of this got out? Besides, when the vice pavilion masters use this against the pavilion master, what should we do?”

Zhuge Wanqing shook her head confidently, “As long as I win, what’s the problem? Elder, do you really think there’s someone within Yinxu Prefecture whose alchemy talent surpasses mine?”

The old woman hesitated and agreed with Zhuge Wanqing’s statement.

Indeed, although there were many Third Order Alchemists under a hundred years old, Fourth Order alchemists were rare.

The gap between the Third and Fourth Order was as huge as that between the Golden Elixir and Nascent Soul.

To break the barrier, a Golden Elixir had to be refined into a three-striped Nascent Soul, similarly, alchemy had its threshold. Only those who had experienced it knew the hardships.

When Zhuge Wanqing tried to break through, she had no idea how much effort and resources she had put in. All these alone, not to mention the small Qin family, even the Lingxiao Sect could not afford to raise such an alchemist.

“But why did Qin Changqing propose this bet?” The old woman was puzzled.

“Since it’s a losing game, why bet at all?”

“Either it’s the idea of that alchemist, who wants to use Danqing Pavilion’s power to break through the Fourth Order, or Qin Changqing has other plans. In any case, if I can master the method of refining top-grade elixirs, our Sect will definitely shine at the upcoming Extreme Elixir Grand Assembly!”

The Extreme Elixir Grand Assembly was a super feast among all alchemy forces in the North Region. Danqing Pavilion participated in it every time, but its performance had not been good recently, causing external doubts.lf she could win this competition, not only would she be able to restore the prestige of Danqing Pavilion, but she could also use this opportunity to resolve internal conflicts within the Pavilion, thus killing two birds with one stone.

With just this point, why not take a gamble?

Moreover, Zhuge Wanqing had confidence.

She would definitely not lose!

After leaving Qin Mansion, Li Ruoyu returned to her inn to rest.

The words that Qin Changqing had spoken kept lingering in her mind.

“I control my fate, not the heavens… What a ridiculous statement. How many people in this world can truly act according to their own will? People just say these things to sound cool. Choices? Decisions? How can I choose? How can I decide?”

“Without power, without background, everything is just empty talk.”

Li Ruoyu really wanted to refute Qin Changqing.

If one day a powerful force descended upon the Lingxiao Sect, would they dare not comply with their orders?

Resistance would mean death. Could Qin Changqing still say “I control my fate, not the heavens” at that time?

Nevertheless, Li Ruoyu found it hard to calm her heart.

She had to admit that deep down, she wanted to acknowledge Qin Changqing’s words.

This conflicting duality constantly struggled in her mind, slowly forming an inescapable voice.

She knew that this was a sign of a nascent Heart Devil.

If she couldn’t decisively cut off this worry, it would eventually become a Heart Devil, hindering her cultivation.

“As long as I make Qin Changqing realize his weakness and ignorance, it’s not difficult. He has low cultivation and no special talent. He’s far inferior to me, let alone those true geniuses,” Li Ruoyu thought, murmuring to herself,

“Tomorrow, I will win the championship, show my true strength, and make Qin Changqing realize the difference between us. Then he will understand how ridiculous those words were. The things I face are much harder than he imagines!”

Qin Changqing didn’t know the thoughts of the two sisters, nor did he have the time to ponder over them. Because soon after they left, a special guest arrived at Qin Mansion.

Seeing his second junior sister whom he hadn’t seen for a long time, Qin

Changqing asked in surprise, “When did you come back?”

“A few days ago, I went back to the mountain first.” Nangong Xue looked around, taking in the situation in the courtyard. “I heard from my junior sisters that you’re now the number one family in Yinxu Prefecture.”

“Hehe, it’s just a small family, and Yinxu Prefecture is really just a small place.

There’s nothing to brag about being the first here.”

“It’s good as long as you think so,” Nangong Xue nodded. “Yinxu Prefecture is just a tiny place in Qingyun State, and the Dayan Dynasty won’t let things end so easily. It’s just that their attention is focused on the Tianti Road that is about to open, so they have postponed taking action against you.”

Qin Changqing touched his chin, “How did you know about all this, Second Junior Sister?”

It’s true that the Dayan Dynasty had been quiet these years, partly out of fear and partly because of the Tianti Road.

Tianti Road is a gathering place for the geniuses of the various major sects within Tianchuan State. Though the outstanding talents on the list only have cultivation in the Golden Elixir Realm, each of them has an unlimited future. And if they could reach the top of Tianti Road, they would surely be able to exert influence over the entire Qingyun one day. Naturally, the Dayan Dynasty wouldn’t want to fall behind.

However, Nangong Xue had been busy outside all these years, yet she still knew so much about what was going on here.

“They’ve always been like this,” Nangong Xue said indifferently, apparently unwilling to talk too much about ‘them’. “Big brother, I came here to ask you about that Blood Coral King…”

“Don’t worry,” Qin Changqing laughed. “It’s being raised by Master, there’s no problem.”

“Mm.”

Hearing this, Nangong Xue was indeed relieved.

If Qin Changqing had kept the Blood Coral King in Qin Mansion, she would have been unable to sleep soundly at night..
