Chapter 2586: You Are Not Worthy to Sit as an Equal with Me!

"His affinity actually increased?"

"Affinity is innate; how can it increase?"

"Luo Yunqing is talking nonsense to save his life!"

……

These words naturally drew a wave of shock.

The Sect Leader also narrowed his eyes, showing surprise.

At that moment, Qin Shun suddenly said, "Luo Yunqing, saying this is an insult to us Heavenly Alchemists! If one point of affinity could refine a Heavenly Pill, then wouldn't people like us become a joke?"

Affinity is the greatest threshold for a Heavenly Alchemist.

Many ascendants were alchemists in the lower realm, but had to give it up after ascending.

Luo Yunqing smiled and said, "A mule or a horse—take it out for a walk and you'll know. Master Qin thinks Yunqing is joking; why not have a match?"

Qin Shun was furious upon hearing this: "Luo Yunqing! You are increasingly arrogant! I am a dignified third-grade Heavenly Alchemist, of noble status, and you want me to compete in alchemy with a piece of trash who has four points of affinity?"

Although Luo Yunqing was already a Jade Heaven powerhouse, Qin Shun did not feel inferior before him.

The status of a third-grade Heavenly Alchemist in the sect was too high!

He could sit as an equal with the elders!

Luo Yunqing chuckled and said, "Since Master Qin refuses to compete, what do you propose?"

Qin Shun thought for a moment and said, "Jingxuan, you come!"

Behind Qin Shun, a girl in a yellow dress stepped forward.

This woman had phoenix-like eyes and cherry-like lips, giving an ethereal impression, truly as beautiful as a celestial maiden.

Many ascendants stared straight at her!

Qin Shun looked at Ye Yuan and said smugly, "My disciple Jingxuan has studied alchemy with me for ten years! If you can defeat her, you pass this test. How about it?"

Wen Jingxuan frowned and said, "Master, how can someone with four points of affinity refine pills? Even if I win, it's not honorable."

"In these ten years, you have studied alchemy with me and rarely appeared in the sect. Today, take this opportunity to show them the fruits of your ten years' work before the Sect Leader!"

Qin Shun did not hide his selfishness at all and said it outright.

Heavenly Alchemists care most about face; not only must they be impressive themselves, but their disciples must also be impressive.

He had Wen Jingxuan come out to prove that his teaching was better than Wu Chengchao's!

"This... all right!" Wen Jingxuan hesitated for a moment, then agreed.

Wu Chengchao, standing aside, had a very unpleasant expression.

Seeing this, Shi Feiyu immediately said, "Sect Leader, if he loses to Jingxuan, I must seek justice for Zhan Yuan's death!"

Luo Yunqing knew Ye Yuan's strength, so he was not worried at all. Instead, he laughed and said, "And if Ye Yuan wins, then what?"

Shi Feiyu sneered, "If he wins, this matter is dropped!"

Luo Yunqing laughed heartily, "Good, it's a deal!"

The Sect Leader also nodded and said, "In that case..."

"Hold on!"

Just then, Ye Yuan suddenly spoke.

Shi Feiyu sneered, "What, scared now? Too late!"

Ye Yuan looked at him as if he were an idiot, then turned to Qin Shun and said, "You are a Protector, and I am also a Protector! Sending a disciple to compete with me—are you insulting me?"

Qin Shun laughed loudly, "A mere minor Extreme Heaven cultivator wants to sit as an equal with me? What qualifications do you have?"

Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "I don't want to sit as an equal with you. You are not worthy to sit as an equal with me!"

Just when everyone thought Ye Yuan was backing down, he changed his tone and shocked everyone!

"This... this guy is too awesome!"

"I just want to know how a minor Extreme Heaven cultivator can be so awesome!"

"The ignorant are fearless!"

……

The entire Tianhui Peak echoed with gasps.

Ye Yuan's words were too domineering!

Luo Yunqing was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Hahaha... Brother Ye, I like you more and more!"

Qin Shun's smile suddenly froze, and he said harshly, "What did you say?"

Ye Yuan ignored him and said calmly, "Lin Lan!"

Lin Lan stepped forward and said respectfully, "Disciple is here!"

Ye Yuan said, "This disciple of mine has studied alchemy with me for over three years! If you can defeat him, then come challenge me!"

As for the beautiful Wen Jingxuan, she was directly left aside.

Ye Yuan was talking about Qin Shun!

A slap in the face!

A naked slap in the face!

You use a disciple to challenge me, so I use a disciple to challenge you!

Everyone was stunned!

Ye Yuan's showing-off value was skyrocketing.

That was a third-grade Heavenly Alchemist!

A guy with only four points of affinity actually dared to speak such arrogant words!

"Heh, good! Very good! Sect Leader, this child insults me—what should be done?" Qin Shun's face was dark enough to drip water.

On the side, Wu Chengchao secretly rejoiced at Qin Shun's embarrassment.

Before the Sect Leader could speak, he said, "Sect Leader, I think Ye Yuan's words are reasonable! Regardless of his cultivation level, since Luo Yunqing has granted him the Qingyi Token, he is a Qingyi Protector of our sect, similar in status to us! This is the rule of our Wuding Heavenly Sect and cannot be abolished! It is inappropriate for Qin Shun to challenge Protector Ye with a disciple!"

"Wu Chengchao, you!" Qin Shun was so angry his beard and hair stood on end.

Wen Jingxuan also frowned slightly, looked at Ye Yuan coldly, and said, "You're using a trivial token to throw your weight around! With mere four points of affinity, what are you pretending for? If you have the ability, compete with me!"

Ye Yuan shook his head with a smile and said, "You are not qualified."

The Sect Leader also had a headache; he found that Ye Yuan really knew how to stir up trouble.

A simple sect assessment had been turned upside down by him!

The Sect Leader said solemnly, "Protector Ye, whether you are qualified for this Protector position is still open to debate! If you insist on this, I will have to revoke your Protector status!"

Ye Yuan shrugged and said calmly, "Alright, I'll give the Sect Leader face. You compete with Lin Lan in alchemy; if you win, you'll be qualified to challenge me. If you lose, let that old man come, and I'll compete with him! Sect Leader, this is my bottom line! If you don't agree, then do as you please. A scholar can be killed, but not humiliated!"

These words were said to Wen Jingxuan.

The Sect Leader thought for a moment and nodded, "Alright, I'll go along with that!"

Since Luo Yunqing had given the token, Ye Yuan was de facto a Protector.

Rules cannot be abolished!

He had to give face.

Not to Ye Yuan, but to Luo Yunqing!

Luo Yunqing, young as he was, had entered the Jade Heaven realm and was the best candidate for the next Sect Leader.

What if Ye Yuan really had skill?

Then he had to give face!

He knew Luo Yunqing; there were not many people Luo Yunqing thought highly of!

Wen Jingxuan was originally of a calm temperament, but now she was also greatly provoked by Ye Yuan.

She came before Ye Yuan and said coldly, "Protector Ye, I will definitely expose your fox's tail!"

Ye Yuan just smiled faintly and said, "I told you, you are not qualified! Not just you, even your master is not qualified!"
