Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ye Chen was a little surprised by this. For someone to have such achievements in medicine and martial arts, Xiang Chengdong could be considered to be extremely talented.

The crowd automatically parted to form a path for the man, and Xiang Chengdong went straight to the stage and nodded at everyone.

He smiled and said, “I’ve always wanted to do something for the martial arts world, but for so many years, other than saving some people, I haven’t done anything significant. Although 1 failed, the Medicine Alliance has produced many talents.”

“This time, I would like to introduce a top-notch alchemist to everyone, Zhao Lintao!”

“Lintao has been in the Medicine Alliance for dozens of years, and I’m always amazed by his use of science and technology to refine pills. He’s definitely a pioneer! Today, if the third-grade medicinal pill is successfully refined, I would like everyone here to bear witness to it with me.”

The applause was thunderous!

Countless gazes turned to Master Zhao, who was standing in front of the alchemy cauldron in the middle of the square.

Master Zhao was extremely pleased. He even glanced in Ye Chen’s direction.

The disdain and coldness in his eyes were obvious.

On the stage, Xiang Chengdong continued, “I don’t like to beat around the bush, and alchemy takes time, so I’ll end my speech here. I’ll leave the rest to Lintao!”

Master Zhao nodded. His gaze turned to the cauldron as he focused himself. At this moment, he looked like an eminent master.

Just his demeanor alone had the crowd exclaiming in admiration.

“A master is indeed a master. The aura he exudes is extraordinary.”

“The Medicine Alliance is probably going to soar to the skies after this.”

“Elder Xiang has invited so many people, but whether it succeeds or not depends on Master Zhao alone. If there’s a problem, Elder Xiang’s reputation will probably take a hit.”

At this moment, someone stood up and said, “Elder Xiang, before I refine the pill, I have something to say.”

Xiang Chengdong frowned. He was a little unhappy to have the event interrupted at this moment. He glanced at the person and said coldly, “If you have something to say, say it. Don’t disturb Lintao’s pill refinement.”

“Elder Xiang, you might not be aware, but this matter is related to Master Zhao.”

Hmm?

Xiang Chengdong’s face was full of doubt.”

The old man who spoke up looked in Ye Chen’s direction and said coldly, “Just now, 1 heard a kid criticize Master Zhao’s painstaking efforts and even said that his work was worthless. He even said that the Medicine Alliance’s alchemy attainments were only superficial.”

As soon as these words were uttered, not only did Xiang Chengdong’s expression change, but it incited everyone’s fury.

When Zhu Ya heard this, her face turned extremely pale. She had not expected another person to have overheard their conversation.

Furthermore, she could tell that this person was trying to use this opportunity to attack Ye Chen and ruin his reputation.

How despicable!

She was furious, but when she turned to look at Ye Chen, she discovered that he was completely unperturbed.

“Mr. Ye, about this matter…”

“It’s fine.” Ye Chen smiled calmly.

When Xiang Chengdong heard that person’s words, he became livid.

“Who dared to insult Master Zhao, and even the Medicine Alliance?”

The old man stretched out his hand and pointed toward Ye Chen.

“It’s that kid in casual clothes. I spoke up because 1 can’t stand his behavior. I hope that when Master Zhao succeeds in refining the pill, this kid wo;; kneel down and apologize to Master Zhao! The Medicine Alliance cannot be humiliated!”

This fellow wanted to borrow the hands of others to attack Ye Chen!

Young Master Zheng was very satisfied with the old man’s actions. He looked at his bandaged hand, and his eyes flickered with a cold gleam. Revenge would be his!

Xiang Chengdong shot Ye Chen a furious gaze and asked, “Did you say that?” Naturally, he would not listen to the words of a single person. If Ye Chen refuted the allegations, he would also hear Ye Chen out.

Zhu Ya tugged at Ye Chen’s hand and said, “Mr. Ye, you just have to deny it.” However, Ye Chen looked straight at Xiang Chengdong and nodded fearlessly. “There is indeed a problem with Master Zhao’s refining method. From my current observations, it can be said that the Medicine Alliance has only grasped a trace of true alchemy.”

“Moreover, this pill refinement is not taking place in ideal conditions. The elements are not in harmony. My suggestion is that the pill be refined three hours later. That way, the chances of success will be higher. Otherwise, Master Zhao’s cauldron will explode 48 seconds after he starts.”

As soon as he said this, the crowd was thrown into an uproar!

Everyone thought that Ye Chen would deny the allegations, but not only did he admit it, he went even further!

This fellow was really not afraid of the consequences!

Refining pills could indeed cause cauldrons to explode, and it could even be said to be very common. However, since ancient times, no one had been able to predict the time of the explosion accurately!

Even a seer would not be able to do so!

Xiang Chengdong’s eyes were practically on fire as he said, “Fine! Then we’ll watch and see! If Master Zhao successfully refines it, you will kneel in Medicine King Valley for three days and three nights!”

“Grandmaster Zhao, start refining the pill!”

The bell rang, and the pill refinement commenced!

Master Zhao glanced in Ye Chen’s direction and snorted coldly. Then, he adjusted his mental and emotional condition.

He slapped the cauldron with his right hand, and the lid opened. Then, he added some liquid in. At the same time, his fingers danced as he kept pressing buttons on the control panel next to him.

Flames surged, and the temperature suddenly rose. Everything seemed to be proceeding smoothly, and the crowd cheered.

At the same time, a few disdainful gazes shot toward Ye Chen.

A blonde woman glanced at Ye Chen and snorted coldly.

“You’re not as good as he is, yet you still dare to speak ill of him. Aren’t you quite the scumbag? You even said that his cauldron would explode. Do you even know anything about pill refinement? If anything happens to Master Zhao, can you bear the responsibility?”

“Despicable and shameless scoundrel!”

Ye Chen ignored her.

Although no one believed Ye Chen, many people had silently activated their timers on their smartphones, just waiting for the 48-second mark to pass so that they could scold Ye Chen.

Zhu Ya was pacing around anxiously.. She knew that Ye Chen had a temper, but she did not expect him to go this far!
