The square was bustling with activity. Su Zhongxiao had become the center of attention. A divine alchemist who could explode four furnaces in a row was unprecedented!
Su Zhongxiao looked at the sky in fear. He thought that he had offended an immortal and was being punished by the heavens. He could only pray secretly that he would not be punished again.
When the fifth furnace was opened, Ye Qinghan watched silently and allowed him to do as he pleased.
But when the pill was condensed, the temperature in the furnace was no longer under Su Zhongxiao's control. It turned into scrap metal. He knelt on the ground and cried in despair. His reputation was gone just like that. There was also the five million Ye Qinghan's gambling debt. He even had to kneel and apologize in public. Just thinking about it made him feel despair.
Ye Qinghan crossed his arms in front of his chest and lay on the chair in satisfaction.
At this moment, Qin Xuanxuan had successfully refined six furnaces, and the quality was not bad. There was no problem for him to advance to the next round. Ye Qinghan entered the finals directly. Su Zhongxiao had lost.
Su Zhongxiao seemed to have aged tens of thousands of years in an instant. His face was full of fatigue. He walked to Wang Zichen, thinking that he would be comforted. But he did not expect Wang Zichen to take back his offerings and force him out.
Su Zhongxiao looked at his disciples and saw that they were also full of disdain. The humiliation in his heart surged to his head, and he almost went berserk.
Ye Qinghan watched silently. This was human nature. Everyone wanted to add flowers to the brocade. But once someone was in trouble, not to mention adding flowers to the brocade, there were many people who would hit someone when they were down.
Su Zhongxiao walked to Ye Qinghan helplessly. It was unknown whether he was regretting or pretending to be pitiful. He handed over five million strands of money with both hands and knelt in front of Ye Qinghan. He said, "This old man's eyes are blurry. Please forgive me."
Ye Qinghan took the money without hesitation and said calmly, "Let's go. I hope this will teach you a lesson. Be a good person in the future. Perhaps there will be another chance."
Su Zhongxiao looked up at Ye Qinghan. He seemed to have found the real reason for the explosion.
"You … you did it?"
Su Zhongxiao looked at Ye Qinghan in horror. Could Ye Qinghan really be a Sacred Alchemist if he and the two head judges could not figure out the reason behind it? Everyone knew how frightening it was to offend a Saint Pill Master. In the future, they could forget about advancing on the path of alchemy.
Ye Qinghan didn't answer. He just waved his hand, gesturing for him to leave. He didn't want to say anything more.
Dong dong dong!!
Su Zhongxiao kowtowed three times in a row, causing the room to rumble. He said sincerely, "Supreme Lord, this little one knows his mistake! Please give this fool a chance to repent. Even if I have to be a slave or a servant, I am willing to accompany you until I die of old age! "
"I won't teach you anything. Leave," Ye Qinghan replied coldly.
"This fool doesn't ask for Milord's guidance. I only ask to accompany Milord, to be a servant who serves tea and water, to prepare materials for Milord, but I don't dare to covet Milord at all! Please grant my wish! "Su Zhongxiao kowtowed on the floor, not daring to raise his head.
Ye Qinghan kept quiet for a moment and thought, He is a Divine Alchemist after all. If I want to take over the Heaven Suppressing Palace, I will need more people.
"En, you may rise." Ye Qinghan nodded.
Su Zhongxiao was overjoyed. He kowtowed again and again. His arrogance and impulsiveness were gone. He said respectfully, "Thank you, Milord! Thank you, Milord! "
"From this incident, I hope you'll understand that you have to keep a low profile. Don't focus on immediate benefits. You have to keep your eyes open when you recognize people. Look at those disciples you've taken in and those who've come to seek refuge with you," Ye Qinghan reminded him coldly.
Su Zhongxiao nodded respectfully in acknowledgment. At this moment, he was somewhat enlightened. No one around him was willing to help him in his hour of need. Everyone was kicking him while he was down. Even his own disciple looked down on him. Perhaps Ye Qinghan's prank this time was a blessing in disguise.
"If you want to be my servant, you must be capable. Let me give you a small test. Keep these five million strands of wealth and help me purchase a set of materials." Ye Qinghan waved his hand and threw the storage ring back to Su Zhongxiao. He said indifferently, "I want a portion of Heavenly Immortal Grass or Jadebone Immortal Root. Once you complete the mission, I will take you as my slave. You can also take the five million strands of money and go to some small place to live a comfortable life."
Su Zhongxiao's hands trembled. He crawled in front of Ye Qinghan and offered the storage ring with both hands. He cried bitterly, "This fool's state of mind is not as good as Milord's. Now that I think about how I humiliated you that day, my heart is filled with regret. Therefore, Milord, please give this fool a chance to make up for his mistakes. This fool still has some money on him, enough to purchase the materials. Please accept this money and hope that it can make up for some of this fool's mistakes."
"Take it, just in case." Ye Qinghan's tone was firm. He waved his hand lazily and let Su Zhongxiao leave.
Su Zhongxiao did not dare to say anything more. He quickly took the storage ring and left the lounge.
Qin Fenghuo and Yue Congsheng looked at Ye Qinghan curiously and asked, "Mr. Yang, aren't you afraid that he will run away with the money?"
Ye Qinghan smiled and said, "I judge people by their money. I need someone I can trust. If he runs away for five million, he will be the one to lose. If I don't test him, I might lose more than five million strands of money."
Qin Fenghuo and Yue Congsheng could not help but exclaim in surprise. Using five million strands of money to test a person, this kind of big spending was indeed rare.
After the third round of the competition ended, Ye Qinghan returned to the Yue Clan as usual. He diligently trained, hoping to quickly control the Blue Demonic Flame to its peak state.
…
Land of the Nine Prefectures, Divine Martial City, Imperial Palace.
The higher-ups of the Crazy Sect and the Flame Dragon Army had already left the Land of the Nine Prefectures. Now, they were all managed by a group of juniors. The highest cultivation level was only Desolate Lord Ye. Now that he had become the Lord of the Nine Prefectures, he controlled the Nine Prefectures and guarded the Nine Divine Cauldrons.
The world was at peace. However, the little girl hidden in the Godly Dragon Cauldron was forcefully taken out of the Dragon Vein by the Star Chessboard. She ascended to the void with great power. The terrifying power in her body forcefully broke the seal and could almost destroy the Nine States.
There were no more masters in the Nine States that could suppress her. The most powerful one was Jian Chenxue. She had been taking care of Ye Qinghan's mother, Madam Wang. She stood aloof from worldly affairs and did not care about anything. She silently protected Ye Qinghan's family. Now that she was alarmed by the power outside the city, she immediately rushed out.
"Lin Xue? Isn't the child that Qinghan brought from the Eternal World sealed? " Jian Chenxue was surprised to see Lin Xue sitting cross-legged on the Star Chessboard. She did not understand why she came out of the Godly Dragon Cauldron.
Lin Xue was surrounded by a layer of light. It seemed to be a barrier.
Jian Chenxue flew up and reached out to touch it. It seemed invisible, but she could not break through it, let alone touch Lin Xue's body.
The Star Chessboard rotated and drew in the stars. A strand of light shrouded Lin Xue like a holy fairy.
Hiss! Hiss!
Desolate Lord Ye was shocked by Lin Xue. An eight-year-old child had such terrifying power. He was now the number one master in the Inner Realm, second only to Jian Chenxue. He was at the third level of the Sector Lord realm. However, when facing Lin Xue, he did not even have the strength to resist. Or rather, he could not resist the Star Chessboard.
"Auntie, what should we do?" Desolate Lord Ye asked anxiously.
Jian Chenxue was as white as snow. She wore a white robe and was as holy as a fairy. She did not have any desires in these years. Now, she was even stronger, but she had never shown it. However, her prestige was second only to Ye Qinghan in the Nine States. Even a master like Yan Ao had to respectfully call her sister-in-law.
Jian Chenxue's starry eyes flashed as she looked at Lin Xue. She did not know if this was a sign of disaster or something else. She did not dare to take the risk and could only choose to go to the big world to find Ye Qinghan.
"Desolate Lord, you can control the Nine States. Do not let anyone get close to this child. I will go to the big world." Jian Chenxue's heavenly voice spread. Her white robe rolled up as she stepped into the distance.
