Chapter 61: Zhao Honglian’s Challenge!

Zhao Honglian had already made her decision.

Mu Yuge stared at her quietly and said calmly.

“Fool, it seems you’ve come to your senses.

Losing once isn’t scary. What’s scary is that your battle aura has worn off.”

With that, Mu Yuge waved her hand, and a green jade slip appeared in her hand.

“This jade slip contains my experience in exploring the sixth level of the Myriad Medicine Pavilion.

Take it for now.”

Looking at her master’s hopeful expression, Zhao Honglian couldn’t help but feel a lump in her throat.

She nodded seriously. There was a fierce fighting spirit in her.

“Master! I will definitely defeat him!”

Once, she was an alchemy genius of the Empyrean Sword Sect.

It could be said that she was the center of attention wherever she went!

After being dealt a blow a few days ago, Zhao Honglian’s past arrogance and pride were all smashed into pieces!

Every Elixir Hall disciple would compare her to Shen Ran.

They would tell their fellow disciples that she had been surpassed by the other party.

Zhao Honglian, who had tasted failure for the first time in years, could not recover from it!

But now, looking at the burning light in Zhao Honglian’s eyes, Mu Yuge knew that her disciple had pulled herself together!

…

Eighth Summit.

Shen Ran, who was about to go back into seclusion, suddenly saw a long rainbow falling from the sky.

In the long rainbow was a slender and graceful woman in white clothes.

Is this Zhao Honglian?

Shen Ran stopped in his tracks.

Why did she come to the Eighth Summit at this time?

Just as he was feeling puzzled, Zhao Honglian, who had landed from the sky, looked over quietly.

The indignation in her eyes was gone.

Her dark pupils seemed to be supercilious and emotionless.

“Shen Ran, I hope you can come to the Myriad Medicine Pavilion tomorrow!”

Zhao Honglian said calmly.

At the same time, a golden book raft appeared on her finger and she handed it to Shen Ran.

There were only three large words on the book raft.

A letter of challenge?

Shen Ran looked at the book raft floating in front of him.

Then he looked at Zhao Honglian.

He smiled ruefully.

Why did she suddenly come to challenge me?

“I’m sorry, but I have to prepare for seclusion.”

Without thinking, Shen Ran turned her down.

The sect tournament was in a few days.

He had to train well to upgrade his cultivation.

“You…” Zhao Honglian’s face was ashen and she didn’t look pleased.

She had already issued a challenge, but Shen Ran told her that he would not accept the challenge!

This made her furious.

She seemed to feel his contempt and mockery!

He mocked her for being a defeated opponent who came to challenge him!

Suppressing the anger in her heart, Zhao Honglian took a deep breath.

She bit her lip and said coldly, “I’ll stake the Realm Breakthrough Pill!”

Realm Breakthrough Pill.

Tier 4 elixir!

It was mainly used for breaking through to the Marquis Realm.

It was extremely rare in the Empyrean Sword Sect!

Hearing that there were benefits, Shen Ran, who was about to turn around and leave, stopped suddenly.

He looked at Zhao Honglian with sparkling eyes.

If he really broke through, then he might be able to advance to the third level of the Illumination Realm before the sect tournament!

“Seriously?”

Looking at the suspicion on Shen Ran’s face, Zhao Honglian suppressed the anger in her heart.

You didn’t even look at me when I was thick-skinned enough to give you the challenge letter.

You immediately changed your expression when I mentioned elixirs?!

You’re simply looking down on me!!!

Humiliating me!!!

Zhao Honglian gritted her teeth and her ex[ression was deep like water.

“It’s not just the Realm Breakthrough Pill. As long as you defeat me, I’ll be your maid!

On the other hand, if you lose, you will be my servant!

Do you dare!!!”

Shen Ran was stunned.

She is going all out?!

The loser will either be a maid or a servant.

He wanted to refuse, but looking at the angry Zhao Honglian, he smiled calmly.

Anyway, he had already offended Wang Qingxuan and Ji Qinglin, the two Dao Seeds.

Would he be afraid of Zhao Honglian, a woman?

“Why wouldn’t I?!

Just be prepared to be my maid!”

With that, Shen Ran turned around and returned to his residence.

Zhao Honglian’s face darkened as she turned into a stream of light and dissipated into the horizon.

Soon, a piece of news that shook the Empyrean Sword Sect circulated quickly like an avalanche.

“Big news! Big news!”

“Senior Sister Zhao will challenge Senior Brother Shen tomorrow!!!”

This shocking news caused many disciples to exclaim.

“Damn!! I must not miss the battle between two alchemy geniuses!”

“One is Senior Sister Zhao, who is known as the number one genius in alchemy in the Empyrean Sword Sect, and the other is Senior Brother Shen of the Eighth Summit, who reached the sixth level of the Myriad Medicine Pavilion in just four days… Their alchemy challenge is definitely unprecedented.”

“I think Senior Brother Shen Ran is in trouble. Senior Sister Zhao’s master is the Sixth Summit’s Peak Master and was once an elder of the Elixir Hall. Senior Sister Zhao must have made preparations before challenging him.”

“Tch! I think Senior Brother Shen will definitely win! Don’t forget that Senior Brother Shen only used four days to surpass Senior Sister Zhao!”

“It’s open, it’s open!”

…

Many disciples were discussing it in private.

Moreover, some smart disciples immediately opened the villas at the various peaks.

The disciples were not the only ones who were shocked.

This challenge also attracted the attention of many Marquis Realm elders.

Eighth Summit.

Luo Qifeng was worried.

“Sigh, Shen Ran is too irrational. He actually agreed just like that.”

He knew very well that Zhao Honglian’s master was also an alchemy genius back then.

Zhao Honglian must be very confident in this challenge.

He was a little worried about Shen Ran.

It was not easy to see a talented seedling on the Eighth Summit.

Don’t lose your will to fight because you lose the challenge!

This was the last thing Luo Qifeng wanted to see!

But now, Shen Ran had already agreed to the competition.

No matter how worried he was, he could only stand and watch.
