Chapter 1936: Challenging Three Elders

Chen Yu frowned, showing displeasure.

Ye Yuan actually challenged all three of them at once, which was too disrespectful.

As the seasoned experts of the Danchen Pavilion, their status needed no elaboration.

Ye Yuan was young and arrogant, too full of himself!

The audience below buzzed with scorn, mocking Ye Yuan's overestimation of his abilities.

"Ye Yuan, you have exceptional talent and great strength, I admit that! But challenging all three of us at once is too insulting, don't you think?" Chen Yu said darkly.

Clearly, he was displeased.

The elders of the Danchen Pavilion beside him also looked hostile, their gazes toward Ye Yuan filled with enmity.

Ye Yuan, however, looked relaxed and smiled, "Elder Chen Yu, don't get agitated. Hear me out."

Chen Yu said with a black face, "Speak!"

Ye Yuan said, "I have no intention of belittling the elders. There is another reason for doing this. If I am fortunate enough to win, I have an impertinent request."

Shen Chang said, "We are not unreasonable people. If you can win, you will be one of us. If you need help from us old brothers, just say the word. There's no need to provoke us in this way."

Shen Chang rather admired Ye Yuan.

Moreover, he understood that Ye Yuan was not the kind of arrogant person.

There must be a reason for doing this.

But this approach was too extreme and would surely be disliked.

Ye Yuan shook his head, "If I can win, I want to challenge Piaoyu Celestial Venerable. I hope the seniors will grant this."

A single stone stirred a thousand waves!

Everyone changed color, shocked by Ye Yuan's words.

"Arrogant! Too arrogant! He... he dares to challenge Piaoyu Celestial Venerable? How dare he?"

"He doesn't know his place! Who is Piaoyu Celestial Venerable? How can a mere Celestial God like him challenge him?"

"This kid must have lost his mind!"

...

The scene erupted in uproar, the crowd stunned by Ye Yuan's words.

It had been many years since anyone dared to say they would challenge Piaoyu Celestial Venerable!

Not to mention a mere five-star Divine Pill Master; even seven-star Divine Pill Masters who dared to challenge Piaoyu Celestial Venerable were few.

Chen Yu looked at Ye Yuan and sneered, "Do you know what you're saying?"

Ye Yuan nodded, "Of course I do. My purpose in coming to Jinhuan Emperor's capital is twofold: to seek cooperation and to challenge Piaoyu Celestial Venerable!"

Joining the Danchen Pavilion was never Ye Yuan's goal.

With his strength, entering the Danchen Pavilion was no challenge at all.

"Hmph! An overreaching brat! Do you think entering the Danchen Pavilion qualifies you to challenge Lord Piaoyu?" Chen Yu said darkly.

Ye Yuan said, "That's why I proposed challenging all three of you at once. If I win, it at least proves my strength, doesn't it?"

The crowd was startled, finally understanding Ye Yuan's intention.

"Hmph! Even if you win, you're not qualified to challenge Lord Piaoyu. Give up that idea!" a Danchen Pavilion elder snorted.

Shen Chang also said, "With your talent, you may one day reach Lord Piaoyu's level, but challenging him now, you are not qualified."

Ye Yuan remained silent. Piaoyu Celestial Venerable was already like a deity in their hearts, not to be profaned.

A mere five-star Divine Pill Master challenging him seemed utterly overreaching in their eyes.

Below the stage, there was also a chorus of abuse and mockery, all ridiculing Ye Yuan for not knowing his limits.

Ye Yuan sighed, "In that case, let it be."

With that, he turned and walked away.

Chen Yu frowned and said coldly, "Ye Yuan, what do you mean by this?"

Ye Yuan replied without looking back, "I joined the Danchen Pavilion to challenge Piaoyu Celestial Venerable. Since that cannot be fulfilled, joining the Danchen Pavilion is meaningless."

Arrogant!

Too arrogant!

People looked at Ye Yuan, at a loss for words.

In Jinhuan Emperor's capital, the ultimate goal for all alchemists was the Danchen Pavilion.

Yet Ye Yuan looked down on it!

In truth, Ye Yuan was not arrogant; he simply had a different perspective from these people.

Like a Celestial Emperor, would he care about an organization at the True God level?

Absolutely no interest!

Although Ye Yuan had not reached the Celestial Emperor level, the strength of these Danchen Pavilion elders was far inferior to his.

"I accept your challenge." Just then, a voice suddenly descended.

Everyone's expression changed. Was that Piaoyu Celestial Venerable?

"Lord Piaoyu!" Chen Yu and the others exclaimed in surprise.

They hadn't expected Piaoyu Celestial Venerable to appear personally and accept Ye Yuan's challenge!

"You three, compete with him. Young friend, don't disappoint me."

With that, the voice vanished, as if it had never existed.

Ye Yuan's face lit up with joy upon hearing this.

It seemed his recent performance in the Danchen Pavilion had indeed caught Piaoyu Celestial Venerable's attention.

Chen Yu took a deep breath and said darkly, "Brat, don't get too cocky! Passing our test won't be easy!"

Ye Yuan clasped his hands and smiled, "Please enlighten me!"

...

On the arena, the three Danchen-level experts surged with momentum, pressing toward Ye Yuan in the center.

However, Ye Yuan showed no sign of panic.

The combined force of three Danchen-level experts was indeed extraordinary, far beyond that of a Black Scale-level expert like Yu Ying.

Yet even with the three joining forces, they could not stop Ye Yuan's momentum.

His momentum was like a flood about to overflow the embankment, unstoppable.

"How is this possible? These three are the strongest elders of the Danchen Pavilion. Together, even a seven-star Divine Pill Master would have to yield, yet Ye Yuan is actually suppressing them!"

"Too terrifying! Does this guy have no limits?"

"Could it be that he really has the strength to challenge Lord Piaoyu?"

...

Under Ye Yuan's onslaught, the three Danchen-level experts broke out in a fine sweat, looking very strained.

Refining a fifth-grade Divine Pill tests one's understanding of fifth-grade Divine Pills, the properties of fifth-grade spiritual herbs, and the realm of the Dao of Alchemy.

In these aspects, Ye Yuan completely crushed the three Danchen-level experts.

This pill contest seemed to put Ye Yuan at a disadvantage, but that was not the case at all.

At this moment, the crowd finally saw Ye Yuan's strength and understood his confidence in challenging the three Danchen-level experts.

"Condense!"

Ye Yuan shouted softly, and the pill was formed!

The three elders breathed a sigh of relief, finally relaxing a little.

Soon, the three elders also completed their pill refinement.

When the furnaces were opened, the entire audience was astonished!

"A Void Spirit Divine Pill! Under such intense opposition, Ye Yuan actually refined a Void Spirit Divine Pill!"

The three elders' pills were one top-grade and two mid-grade.

Not that they couldn't refine high-quality pills, but they were completely suppressed by Ye Yuan's momentum and couldn't perform at their best.

Ye Yuan had won again, decisively!
