Chapter 1320 1279: Crushing Victory

Very soon, a refreshing and exotic fragrance wafted out from the Pill Furnace.

Everyone's eyes were suddenly fixed intently on the Pill Furnace, where they saw three Bitter Leaf Dragon Horn Roots being rapidly refined into droplets of sparkling, bright liquid...

"Amazing, such a smooth purification technique." Sage King Li Chongshan instinctively opened his mouth, mumbling in shock. It was the first time he had ever seen such a fluid alchemy material purification technique.

"Pfft~" Mue Qinghe immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, his face ashen, staring at Chen Fei with immense venom and disbelief: "Impossible, how could it be!?"

Yet very soon, the Pill Furnace had entirely consumed the three Bitter Leaf Dragon Horn Roots, replaced by a mass of shining, highly pure essence liquid.

It was like a sharp sword paired with its scabbard. Whether it was the enticing fragrance or the dazzling color of the liquid, all of it deeply shocked the people present.

"What, what quality is this essence liquid? It's actually restraining divine aura?!" Sage King Li Chongshan stared blankly at the liquid within the Pill Furnace, his expression dazed... Anything that restrains divine aura is, unquestionably, a true treasure.

It's like people; those who cannot remain calm can never achieve greatness.

Chen Fei actually purified a 'divine aura restrained' grade Bitter Leaf Dragon Horn Root essence liquid? It can't be true...

Silence.

The entire Alchemy Room was enveloped in silence.

Every single person's spirit was deeply shocked.

Although they weren't sure about the quality of the Bitter Leaf Dragon Horn Root essence liquid that Chen Fei, multitasking, had purified, as long as they weren't blind or hadn't lost their sense of smell, they unquestionably knew the essence liquid Chen Fei purified was of a quality that was vastly superior to Mue Qinghe's!

Because the difference was just too obvious, wasn't it?

Multitasking, yet still able to purify such High Quality Bitter Leaf Dragon Horn Root essence liquid!

This is something beyond the capabilities of ordinary King Level Alchemists!

It's simply remarkable! A masterpiece beyond human craft!

"Victory, won?" At the same time, Li Xun'er, elegant and proud, focused her gaze on Chen Fei upon witnessing this scene. The shock in her beautiful eyes didn't require any words, it was all too apparent!

It meant that apart from other abilities, just the purification step alone placed Chen Fei at least at the stature of Li Xun'er's ancestor's level, and this was an exceptionally awe-inspiring thing!

Moreover, there's one very important point now, Chen Fei, he won!

Wen Dou, two wins out of three competitions! And now Chen Fei was basically assured of his victory,

which means, he won! He won against the Three-Star King Level Alchemist from Pill Saint City—Mue Qinghe!

"He, he, how is this possible!?" In the distance, Luo Tianling's face was filled with absurdity, mouth agape, heart filled with mixed emotions.

Previously, she could be said to have looked down on Chen Fei the most, thinking he was just riding Xue Changbin's coattails, a despicable trickster, a fraud!

But now, it appears that might not be the case...

"Could it be that when he said he could cure Auntie's strange illness, it's true? Master Qinghe and his mentor Grandmaster Xuan Chen, were truly wrong!?"

Luo Tianling's face grew pale, as if struck by lightning, and gradually, an exceedingly absurd thought flashed in her mind.

Meanwhile, King Bear of Fury Luo Xiong's face became thoroughly bitter. It was he who abandoned the choice and trust in Chen Fei, and now, Chen Fei was demonstrating with his prowess and ability that he, Luo Xiong, had blind eyes, was a fool, not a true expert...

"Hehe." On the other hand, Elder of Hundred Knowledge Palace Xue Changbin saw this but coldly snorted, not at all surprised by Chen Fei's monstrous performance. On the contrary, he felt it was only natural.

After all, earlier, Chen Fei had brought out the Ghost Nurturing Liquid of King Grade before him, such a sacred artifact! Compared to the difficulty of making Ghost Nurturing Liquid of King Grade, purifying Bitter Leaf Dragon Horn Root was child's play, trivial...

Though that's what the words expressed, Mue Qinghe, upon witnessing this, almost spat out blood again. He turned pale and pointed at Chen Fei, accusingly: "You, you cheated!"

At this time, with an ashen face, he couldn't believe Chen Fei could achieve such mischief with the purification of Bitter Leaf Dragon Horn Root! Thus, it must be fake, it must be cheating!

"Cheating?" Chen Fei heard and wasn't angry, merely grinned mischievously, saying: "Yes, I am cheating, but could you first show me the evidence, please?"

"You!" Mue Qinghe was so furious his lungs almost exploded, gritting his teeth, believing Chen Fei truly was cheating in front of them, then jumped and shouted to Li Chongshan: "Sixth Martial Uncle, did you hear? This brat is cheating, he has absolutely no regard for you!"

Sage King Li Chongshan's expression changed, addressing Chen Fei: "Master Chen, could you let me see that mass of Bitter Leaf Dragon Horn Root essence liquid?"

No one noticed that Sage King Li Chongshan's form of address for Chen Fei had changed—no longer calling him by his name, no longer Chen Fei, not a friend or associate, but Master Chen! Grandmaster...

"Feel free." Chen Fei chuckled, shrugging his shoulders, and replied.

As soon as he spoke, Li Chongshan immediately walked towards the Pill Furnace.

Moments later, his face changed drastically, brow tightly furrowed, remaining silent for a long time before shaking his head, taking a deep breath, turning around, and using a voice filled with unbelievable shock to speak with genuine admiration.

"There's no problem with the items. Before the contest, I had marked each of the six Bitter Leaf Dragon Horn Roots separately."

"What?" Mue Qinghe's expression changed. Everyone else's face changed as well.

Does this mean Chen Fei didn't cheat?

"And as for Master Chen's results in purifying the Bitter Leaf Dragon Horn Root..." At this moment, Li Chongshan spoke again, his lips trembling slightly as he slowly said, "The time, one-tenth of an incense stick; quality, quality... Over ninety percent!"

Wow!

What?

Over ninety percent!?

Everyone was dumbfounded, gaping with disbelief!

"Wha-what? Sixth Martial Uncle, what are you saying?" Mue Qinghe doubted his ears!

Over ninety percent, what does that mean? Not to mention him, even if his master came in person, they probably wouldn't be able to achieve that. But now this... Is this madness? How can this be possible!?

Only Chen Fei smiled upon hearing this and asked, "So, does this mean I've won?"

Wen Dou, best of three! And now, he's already won two rounds...

Sage King Li Chongshan gave Chen Fei a deep look, after a long pause, slowly nodded, and said, "Yes, Master Chen, you've won this contest..."

Upon hearing this, Mue Qinghe's expression changed instantly, as if he thought of something, then suddenly turned bloodless out of fear!

Whoosh!

Then his figure flashed, turning around to escape!

However, Chen Fei, who was faster than him, directly stood in front of him, looking at him with a half-smile, and asked, "Why are you running?"

"D-Don't mess around! I'm telling you, my master is a Five-Star King Level Alchemist, he is Master Xuan Chen!"

Mue Qinghe was trembling with fear, his voice shaking, staring at Chen Fei, trying to sound fierce but his heart was timid.

"So what?" Chen Fei smiled and said, "I just want to remind you, now that you've lost, shouldn't you fulfill our bet?"

Everyone's faces tensed, then turned strange, looking at Mue Qinghe with sympathy.

The bet? Wasn't it to cripple both arms, kneel and kowtow a hundred times, and call him 'Grandfather' a hundred times?

Although this wouldn't kill him, it would probably ruin him, as he would be utterly humiliated!

When Sage King Li Chongshan heard this, his expression changed as he hesitated and struggled.

Because logically, Mue Qinghe was the closed-door disciple of his third senior brother, his junior nephew, a family member, so how can he not intervene in such a matter?

But the problem is, this situation was caused by Mue Qinghe himself. If he hadn't been so full of himself and set this bet, how would it have come to this?

"Sixth Martial Uncle, save me!" At this moment, Mue Qinghe couldn't withstand the pressure from Chen Fei standing in front of him and loudly called for help.

Sage King Li Chongshan's face changed, and finally, he sighed softly and stepped forward, saying, "Hold on, Master Chen."

Chen Fei turned his head to glance at him, saying indifferently, "What, do you want to stand up for him, Sage King?"

Hearing Chen Fei's indifferent tone, Sage King Li Chongshan's heart immediately sank, realizing he was in trouble, but the situation had already escalated to this point, and he could only bite the bullet. Speaking to Chen Fei, he said.

"They say it's better to resolve enmity than to keep it. I think this is just a misunderstanding. How about giving me, Li Chongshan, some face, and changing the bet?"

"Heh, Sage King surely has a lot of face." Chen Fei sneered, making everyone hear the sarcasm in his words.

Upon hearing this, Mue Qinghe's expression immediately brightened, seizing the opportunity to loudly say, "Sixth Martial Uncle, don't converse with this kind of person, he clearly doesn't take you seriously, doesn't give you face!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he coldly looked at Chen Fei and threatened, "Chen Fei, is it? You managed to defeat me, Mue Qinghe, so you do have some skill, quite impressive. But don't go too far. My master is a Five-Star King Level Alchemist, and my sect is one of the top Dao Lineages in Pill Saint City, the Phoenix Cauldron Immortal Sect! If it really escalates, getting rid of you won't be a problem..."

"So, you better think this thro... Ugh!"

However, before Mue Qinghe could finish his words, a terrifying sword momentum descended, directly severing both of Mue Qinghe's arms from the shoulders!

Ugh, blood gushed out like a spring, causing everyone's pupils to shrink, a chill rising from the soles of their feet.

"So much nonsense!" Facing Mue Qinghe's incredulous eyes, Chen Fei flicked his ear, his face calm, and said lightly, "I don't care who your master is, or where your sect comes from. Since you lost, you must accept the punishment, isn't that right?"

In an instant, Mue Qinghe's eyes were filled with blood, terrifyingly fierce!
