The Zhang Family's Patriarch sneered, "Could it be that your Lan Family can find a second alchemist?"
Lan Xingmeng was so angry that she couldn't refute him. She was furious.
It was true that the Lan Family didn't have a second alchemist. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been bullied by Zhang Zihe and they wouldn't have been exploited by the Zhang Family for so many years.
Then, the Zhang Family's Patriarch laughed, "Besides, in the alchemy business, achievement is the most important thing. It doesn't mean that the older you are, the better you are. Xiao Yang, what do you think?"
He had already treated Xiao Yang as an equal.
"Of course. Then, since the Zhang Family's Patriarch wants to spar with me, it can't just be a simple spar, right? What other conditions or wager do you have?"
Xiao Yang slowly put down the teacup in his hand. He had a faint smile on his face as he looked at the Patriarch. His eyes were as calm as water without any fluctuations.
In the path of alchemy, Xiao Yang had never been afraid of anyone.
"Xiao Yang is still the most interesting one. How can it be fun without a wager? How can there be any anticipation? If I win, you have to admit that you killed Zhang Zihe and apologize to the two elders of my family. You can even be imprisoned in my Zhang Family for a year."
The Zhang Family's Patriarch stated his conditions. These conditions were quite harsh, especially the last one. Being imprisoned in the Zhang Family for a year was simply torture.
"Impossible."
Before Xiao Yang could speak, Lan Xingmeng couldn't help but make the decision for Xiao Yang.
She didn't want to see Xiao Yang imprisoned in the Zhang Family for a year. If that happened, she would rather die.
Therefore, she didn't even need to think about these conditions. She might as well reject them. After all, even if she rejected them, what could the Zhang Family's Patriarch do?
The Zhang Family's Patriarch smiled and didn't say anything. Instead, his gaze fell on Xiao Yang. Xiao Yang's decision was the most important one. After all, the one he wanted to challenge was Xiao Yang, not Lan Xingmeng.
"My son, this is obviously a trap. You can't agree to it."
Lan Xingmeng was afraid that Xiao Yang would do something stupid, so she quickly reminded him.
Xiao Yang comforted Lan Xingmeng, telling her not to get too agitated. After she calmed down a little, he smiled and said, "So they're guests. Their clansmen were killed, and their elders were crippled. It's not easy for them. Look, the Lan Family even refused to cooperate with them. I'm sure they're feeling heartache right now. We're a good family, so we naturally have to give them a chance."
The patriarch of the Zhang family suddenly felt that Xiao Yang's temperament was very similar to his. He couldn't help but smile and said, "So you've agreed?"
Lan Xingmeng couldn't take it anymore. She pinched Xiao Yang's ear and wouldn't let go. "I don't care. You can't agree to it. Even if you break the heavens, you can't."
She loved Xiao Yang to the extreme. She couldn't allow Xiao Yang to be hurt in the slightest.
Xiao Yang blinked and said slowly, "I never do things that I'm not confident in. I can't refuse the patriarch of the Zhang Family's hospitality. The location will be in the Lan Family's alchemy room. You don't have any objections, right?"
"Okay, it's decided."
The patriarch of the Zhang Family's eyes lit up. The more he looked, the more he felt that Xiao Yang's temperament was very similar to his.
"You, you, what should I say about you? You're so disobedient. Seriously, you won't even know when you'll be sold off."
Lan Xingmeng slowly complained to Xiao Yang. However, she still went to arrange the location and protection.
After all, their son had grown up. He had his own thoughts. As parents, they had to learn to respect him.
The news of Xiao Yang competing with the number one alchemist of the Zhang Family quickly spread. It attracted 90% of the Lan Family's attention.
Everyone knew that the patriarch of the Zhang Family was the current leader of the Zhang Family. However, very few people knew that he was the number one alchemist of the Zhang Family. He represented the top level of alchemy in the Zhang Family.
When Lan Jiaoye heard the news, she had already rushed over. She saw Xiao Yang from afar. She secretly cheered for Xiao Yang and said, "Cousin, do your best. Show him what you've got."
She had a lot of trust in Xiao Yang. She was full of confidence. Previously, the Breakthrough Realm Pill that Xiao Yang refined was very miraculous.
Lan Jiaoshui and Qian Duoduo also heard the news and came over to cheer for Xiao Yang. Although they were opponents before, overall, Xiao Yang helped them more.
Lan Duogui, Lan Duofu, Lan Duocai and the others also came. They wanted to see Xiao Yang's power again. As for the previous battle between Xiao Yang and the two Zhang Family Elders, they had only heard about it. They didn't see it with their own eyes. Thinking about the battle between the three Martial Grandmasters, the passionate scene was enough to shock them.
Now, they had a rare opportunity to see Xiao Yang compete with the patriarch of the Zhang Family. This was simply a rare opportunity.
Even the three leaders of the Lan Family, the Lan Family's steward, the Lan Family's head instructor, the Lan Family's high consecrator, the Lan Family's low consecrator and the others came. The Lan Family's patriarch was also watching from afar. There were hundreds of people gathered.
"In order to let everyone see the scene of us refining, I suggest that we do it outside. What do you think?"
Xiao Yang glanced at the audience and noticed everyone's expectant expression. He suggested to the patriarch of the Zhang Family.
Compared to refining pills indoors, the difficulty of refining pills outside was several times higher.
Because refining outside would be affected by many factors, such as the environment, weather, wind, sun, fragrance, the noise of others and so on. On the contrary, if it was done indoors, everything would be much more stable.
The more difficult it was, the more challenging it would be. The patriarch of the Zhang Family couldn't wait for this. His fighting spirit was high as he said, "Okay, then we'll do as you say. But you must remember, if you lose, you have to do as I say."
"No problem."
Xiao Yang agreed without hesitation. In short, he wouldn't lose.
The onlookers heard their conversation and knew that they would refine outside. They couldn't help but cry out in joy.
"Cousin, you're amazing. We support you."
"Cousin, do your best. Show him what you're capable of."
"Cousin, you understand us. You understand our feelings. We love you."
Cheers came one after another. When they fell into Xiao Yang's ears, Xiao Yang only smiled. He didn't have much of an emotional fluctuation.
Lan Xingmeng ordered the servants to bring over the alchemy furnace and various required herbs.
She also marked out an exclusive area in the air for them to refine pills.
The patriarch of the Zhang Family was eager to try. Ever since he became the patriarch, he had a lot of opportunities to refine pills. Now that he had another chance to refine pills, he was very excited.
As the former number one alchemist of the Zhang Family, he had confidence, skill, and alchemy techniques.
He asked Xiao Yang eagerly, "Xiao Yang, you win. What are your conditions?"
