This was because if Ye Zifeng fails, then according to the rules of the bet, the Ye clan's 10% share of the business will belong to the Liu clan. This was not a small amount. It was enough to strengthen the Liu clan for the next five years.
Liu Yige coldly laughed, "Ye Zifeng, what else do you have to say after you lose?"
Ye Zifeng stood in front of everyone and opened the cauldron. All that could be seen was a pile of black slag rolling down the cauldron.
"Ai ….." Yang Xue was originally filled with anticipation but now she was disappointed. How could a Pure Yang Pill be so easy to concoct? How could he succeed with just one set of ingredients? Why would she have high hopes for a young man like him?
Bingqian stared at the slag on the floor. She was annoyed that Ye Zifeng didn't appreciate her kindness and wanted to concoct a Pure Yang Pill with just one set of ingredients. He was too arrogant.
However, she couldn't bear to watch Ye Zifeng fail. She stood in front of Liu Mu with determination.
"Dad, when Ye Zifeng was concocting the Pure Yang Pill, he didn't use solid wood to light the fire. This is our fault. We should let him try again!"
Liu Mu was startled. His good mood was ruined by Bingqian. He couldn't help but snort.
"What do you mean try again? We already agreed that he would only use one set of ingredients. Now that he has failed, there's no need for excuses. His failure is already set in stone. You don't need to plead for him anymore! "
In order to prevent Ye Zifeng from thinking that he would succeed, Liu Yige immediately threatened him.
Ye Zifeng smiled and spoke with his back facing everyone, "Failed? Who said I failed?"
Liu Yige fiercely looked at him, "Bullshit. All the ingredients you concocted are slag. If it's not a failure, then what else can it be?"
Liu Mu acted like he understood, "Nephew Zifeng, I know that you're not in a good mood right now. However, the truth is the truth. No matter how bad you feel, the result will be the same."
Ye Feng's face turned cold. He moved to the side and opened up half a seat.
A beam of golden light suddenly spread out from where he was hiding. The colorful light suddenly covered the entire hall of the Liu Family! Even Liu Ningzi, who had her head lowered, was attracted by the golden light and could not help but raise her head.
"What … what's going on?" Liu Mu's brain had already lost the ability to control his actions. He was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.
Among the pieces of slag, there was a pill that was outlined by red stripes. It was constantly emitting a golden light, sparkling and translucent, as if it was carved out of jade.
Ye Zifeng did not fail. He relied on the last bit of firepower from the solid wood and the Fire Qi condensed from his fingertips to really form the pill!
"Pure Yang Pill … This is a Pure Yang Pill!" Yang Xue rushed forward and stood in front of the elixir. She studied it carefully. Her already pale face became even paler.
"Amazing, too amazing! It was simply unbelievable! If it was me, I definitely wouldn't be able to refine it. "She lightly covered her cherry lips and let out a series of praises.
"This ….." Liu Mu felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. As the head of a clan, he had interacted with Ye Zifeng's father for many years. However, this time, he was completely defeated by Ye Zifeng.
Liu Yige's expression was extremely ugly as well. This time, he tried his best to change the solid wood into hollow wood. He thought that he would be able to trick Ye Zifeng but who would have thought that Ye Zifeng would still be able to successfully refine the pill.
The depths of Liu Bing Qian's eyes gradually lit up, emitting a brilliant divine light: "I knew, you will succeed."
Ye Zifeng smiled and looked at Liu Mu's ashen face, "Uncle Liu, I'm sure that you're very interested in this. The Fire Qi in my fingertips isn't hot enough to heat up the cauldron. How did I successfully refine the pill?"
Liu Mu nodded. Yang Xue was also confused, "Yeah. How did you do it? Hurry up and tell me. "
Ye Zifeng smiled, "Actually, it's all thanks to Uncle Liu that I was able to refine this Pure Yang Pill."
"Me? Helped you refine the pill? " Hearing this, Liu Mu was shocked. He had tricked Ye Zifeng a lot of times. When did he even help Ye Zifeng? He didn't leave his seat at all. How could he help Ye Zifeng?
"Uncle Liu, do you remember that when we first met and chatted, I said that the Jade Ocean of Sword Washing Diagram, the Eight Directions Diagram, and the Ancient Desert Emperor's Blood Diagram on the tea table would have a special effect once they are combined?"
"Hold on ….."
Liu Mu was slightly shocked, "Could it be that you're using the formation?"
Ye Zifeng nodded and smiled, "To be exact, I only used the Ancient Desert Emperor's Blood Diagram …. Look at where I'm standing. Isn't it the same as where the diagram is used?"
Ever since he entered the Liu clan's guest room, he didn't stay idle. Whenever he saw something that he could use, he would remember it.
"This …. You can even use this?"
Liu Mu lowered his head and looked at the Ancient Desert Emperor Diagram. It was exactly where Ye Zifeng was concocting the pill. The Ancient Desert Emperor Diagram's effect was to activate the yang qi in one's spirit blood. It was a great help when concocting a Pure Yang Pill.
"No wonder you said that I helped you. It seems like it's true." Liu Mu bitterly smiled and shook his head. The formation diagrams that he collected became Ye Zifeng's helper.
As he shook his head, he sucked in a breath of cold air. The Ancient Desert King's Blood Diagram was something that even he only knew about after hearing about it from other experts. Ye Zifeng was only a young and inexperienced youth. To think that he would know about this. This was very surprising.
"If I'm not wrong, you want to refine a Pure Yang Pill because you have the Ancient Desert Emperor's Blood Diagram right?" Liu Mu sighed.
"That's one of the reasons." Ye Zifeng smiled.
"Amazing." Even an old fox like Liu Mu couldn't help but praise. However, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was strange. Ye Zifeng's actions didn't match his age at all. Also, if he knew that Ye Zifeng was such a hero, he wouldn't have asked Liu Ningzi to cancel the engagement.
Liu Mu thought about it carefully and realized that he was too short-sighted. He raised his head and looked at Liu Ningzi. Who knows what he was thinking about.
Liu Yige suddenly understood and quickly asked Ye Zifeng, "No wonder when you were concocting the pill, you weren't standing in front of the cauldron. So you wanted to use the Ancient Desert Emperor's Blood Diagram!"
He was laughing at Ye Zifeng for teaching Song Shiyun how to stand and concoct the pill. But now, it seems like Ye Zifeng was doing everything for a reason.
"You're not stupid ….." Ye Zifeng didn't give face to people that he hated.
"You!" Liu Yige groaned. His eyes were filled with viciousness.
Ye Feng smiled and glanced at everyone. Seeing that they were still immersed in disbelief, he was not in a hurry to say anything else.
When he said that he wanted to come to the Liu clan alone, Ye Chongtian and Xueyi didn't want to. They were afraid that the Liu clan would gang up on him and bully him. However, Ye Zifeng overcame all the obstacles and succeeded.
When Liu Mu came back to his senses and sat down on his chair, Ye Zifeng saw that it was about time so he opened his mouth to speak.
"Uncle Liu, according to the agreement before the competition, as long as I can use one set of ingredients to refine a Pure Yang Pill, it will be my victory. So, I would like to ask, does this bet count as my win?"
Liu Mu raised his head and looked at Ye Zifeng. After a while, he waved his hand.
"That's right. You ….. You won. The younger generation will surpass us in time. The younger generation will surpass us in time!" He had said "the younger generation will surpass us in time" twice in a row. It could be seen that there was an indescribable depression in his heart. Perhaps in many years, this was the first time he had tasted defeat at the hands of such a junior.
Bingqian suppressed the joy in her heart and asked, "Then father, according to the bet, do you agree to me and ….. Ye Zifeng and I will go to the alchemy competition together?"
Liu Mu helplessly nodded, "Since it's in the bet, then I have no reason to object. You guys can go ….."
"That's great!" Bingqian looked at Ye Zifeng. Her face was as red as a tomato and her eyes were filled with tears. If it wasn't for the fact that Ye Zifeng came to her on his own, she would've been rejected by her father.
It has to be said that Ye Zifeng came at the right time.
Hearing this, Ye Zifeng's eyes lit up. It's true that he won the bet but after hearing Liu Mu admit to it, it means that he won.
However, he was still cautious and asked, "Then, about the half a year alliance with the Ye clan ….."
Hearing this, Liu Mu was startled, "After what happened today, I've changed my mind."
"Father, why are you like this? Didn't we agree on the half a year alliance? "Bingqian naturally hoped that the Ye clan and the Liu clan would form an alliance.
Ye Zifeng's expression darkened, "Uncle Liu, are you going to go back on your word?"
Liu Mu laughed, "Look at you guys. Do you think that I, Liu Mu, am a person who goes back on his word? Everything I've done is for the sake of the family's interests. "
"Then father, you mean ….."
Liu Mu pointed at Bingqian's forehead and looked up at Ye Zifeng.
