Everyone came to a sudden realization.
There was indeed something fishy about this, but it happened so suddenly that no one had time to think about it.
In addition, someone had fanned the flames behind their backs and tied up their emotions. That was why they believed this rumor that was full of loopholes.
Xiao Batian, Lin Tianying, Chu Beipo, and Li Zhuangqiang all had gloomy expressions.
They had thought that this plan was flawless.
However, they had missed out on Mu Qingyun.
They had underestimated Lin Yun's ability to argue!
Seeing this, Xiao Batian immediately joined in, "What a glib tongue you have! Your ability to sow discord and distort black and white is indeed impressive!
"You said you didn't steal the Jiang family's inheritance and techniques. What evidence do you have to prove it?"
Lin Yun sneered. "Do I need to prove it? The Jiang family's rubbish inheritance and techniques are not even one-ten-thousandth of mine. Why would I need to steal them? "
Everyone was speechless at Lin Yun's words.
How could he say that the most powerful family inheritance in Yuzhou County was a trash inheritance?
How could he call the technology of Yuzhou County's business clans rubbish?
It was not even one-ten-thousandth of his techniques!
How conceited, arrogant, and condescending did one have to be to say such big words?!
Jiang Shian was enraged when he heard that his family, which he was so proud of, was humiliated by Lin Yun. "You said that your inheritance and techniques are above my Jiang Family. Do you dare to compete with me?"
"Compete?"
Lin Yun laughed out loud as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
Then.
His cold gaze swept across Jiang Shian and the other four people.
"Jiang family, Xiao family, Lin family, Chu family, and Li family."
Lin Yun called out their names one by one. His smile faded and his tone became forceful. "All five of you can come at me together!"
"Sword techniques, techniques, movement techniques, elixir refinement, talismans, inscriptions, whatever it is, as long as you can beat me once, I will admit that I am a useless person who relies on stealing. You can do whatever you want to me."
"If you can't beat me, it means that my inheritance and techniques are far above your five families! If that's the case, why would I need to steal your inheritance and techniques?! "
A stone stirred up a thousand ripples.
Everyone was shocked.
Everyone stared at Lin Yun, dumbfounded. Their jaws almost dropped to the ground.
Challenging five families by himself?
What kind of boldness was that?
Even a top master with profound knowledge would not dare to rashly say such arrogant words!
Even Su Hongyan and Mu Qingyun were shocked by Lin Yun's words.
Su Hongyan hurriedly advised Lin Yun, "Lin Yun, don't be rash!"
Although she already knew that Lin Yun was arrogant, she never imagined that Lin Yun would be this arrogant.
This was simply insane!
It was simply impossible for a single person to challenge five clans!
As the saying goes, there is always someone better out there. Everyone has their shortcomings and strengths.
No matter how capable a mighty figure was, he wouldn't dare to say that his level was at the top.
No matter how knowledgeable a master was, he wouldn't be proficient in all kinds of martial arts.
Some people were good at refining supplementary pills, some were good at refining healing pills, and some were good at refining poisons.
Within a large field, there would be many small branches.
No one was perfect. No one could be good at everything.
Even if Lin Yun was proficient in all the branches of Medicine Refinement, there would always be other fields that he wasn't good at.
"Good! Arrogant brat, you said it yourself. Don't regret it later! " Jiang Shian sneered. He then exchanged a look with Xiao Batian. Their eyes revealed a message that only they could understand.
After exchanging glances with Jiang Shian, Xiao Batian immediately understood his intentions.
Lin Yun had stolen the techniques of Medicine Refinement. If they wanted to get rid of him legitimately, they would have to defeat him in the field of Medicine Refinement. That would be the most convincing.
Although the Jiang family had many Medicine Refinement Masters, Jiang Shian was not proficient in Medicine Refinement.
On the other hand, Xiao Batian was the President of Clear Cloud City's Alchemist Guild. Only Xiao Batian could compete with Lin Yun in Medicine Refinement.
Xiao Batian stood up and said to Lin Yun, "Today, let me compete with you in Medicine Refinement!"
Hearing Xiao Batian's words, the crowd couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
A dignified Alchemist Guild President actually wanted to compete with a youth in Medicine Refinement!
Xiao Batian then added to Lin Yun, "Although I'm the President of Clear Cloud City's Alchemist Guild, I'm still far behind the Jiang family's Medicine Refinement Masters. Moreover, I've been fortunate enough to learn the Jiang family's Medicine Refinement techniques. I can be considered half a Jiang family Medicine Refinement disciple. "
"If I can defeat you in the field of Medicine Refinement, it will be enough to prove that your Medicine Refinement techniques are inferior to the Jiang family. In this way, it would be reasonable to say that you stole the Jiang family's techniques! "
Lin Yun nodded and then sneered, "I'm betting my reputation and life, you can't possibly gain something without risking anything, right?"
Xiao Batian was taken aback and asked, "What do you want?"
Lin Yun was expressionless and said indifferently, "The rules are all up to you. If I lose, there's no need for you to do anything, I'll commit suicide to apologize."
"If you lose, all of the Xiao family's businesses will belong to me. How about it, do you dare to sign the wager? "
Hearing this, the crowd couldn't help but secretly click their tongues.
It turned out that Lin Yun had designs on the Xiao family's businesses. His appetite was too big!
Did he really think he could win?
Xiao Batian also sneered after hearing this. This Lin Yun was simply a snake trying to swallow an elephant.
If he wanted the Xiao family's businesses, he had to be alive to take it!
"Alright, I'll bet!"
Xiao Batian readily agreed and immediately ordered the Xiao family's guards to prepare a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone.
Xiao Batian personally wrote down the wager on the paper and signed his name. Then, he threw the wager paper to Lin Yun.
After Lin Yun caught the wager paper, he signed his name without hesitation.
In the Southern Summer King Country, wagers were legally binding. Once both parties signed the wager, they had to execute it according to the terms of the wager. Not only would the person who broke the wager be shameless, but they would also be punished by the kingdom's laws.
After signing the wager, even if the Xiao family went back on their word, Lin Yun could use this wager to legitimately force Mu Qingyun to execute the terms of the wager.
After waiting for Lin Yun to sign his name, the corners of Xiao Batian's mouth curled into a cold and sinister smile. "What I want to compete with you isn't the conventional alchemy skills, but poison refinement skills!"
Hearing this, the crowd's expression changed slightly.
Mu Qingyun and Su Hongyan's expressions also became serious.
Although refining poisons was also a kind of alchemy skill, it was a crooked path that couldn't be shown in public. However, it was an evil and crooked path that could not be shown in public. True Alchemy Grandmasters would rarely study it.
Coincidentally, Xiao Batian liked to study these crooked paths. His skill in refining poisons was famous throughout the entire Yuzhou County.
No one in Qingyun City could cure the poisons that Xiao Batian refined. Even in the entire Yuzhou County, it was difficult to find someone who could cure his poison.
Most importantly, poisons were different from elixirs. Most poisons were in liquid form and had no grade. As such, Lin Yun's alchemy skills could not be displayed at all.
