Schen Xiang didn't expect Wang Qiongjin to mention his late lover's mistake. If that was the case, then Wang Qiongjin was someone who would stop at nothing to reach her goal. She seemed tougher and more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.

For Wang Qiongjin's proposal of peaceful exchange, Shen Xiang and his group treated it as mere wind. No one would believe such a thing unless they were foolish. He knew that Wang Qiongjin had brought a large group of fiends to this place with ill intentions, most likely preparing to extort him using this method. The number of medicinal pills required by the challenge was substantial, enough to shake the foundations of Dragon Descending Pill Pavilion. Therefore, Shen Xiang and his group were very cautious. They had great confidence in their alchemy techniques but worried about the possibility that Wang Qiongjin might cheat.

"Let us know if you won't cheat. That's all we're worried about. Alchemy exchanges are indeed very necessary, as they can improve our levels of alchemy on both sides. However, the actions of Fiery God Temple before have made it hard for us to trust you," Li Baokuan said loudly. Everyone agreed that his words made sense.

It was obvious to anyone with eyesight that this so-called exchange wasn't a normal one. Paying a heavy price if they lose, and not going against them for fear of cheating was a very rational decision.

There were no more sounds coming from Fiery God Temple. They made so much noise, almost summoning all the people in Pill City to show off their strength and lure Shen Longcheng's residents into fighting. However, the people they brought were now discussing among themselves, expressing doubts about Fiery God Temple's reputation.

After some contemplation, Wang Qiongjin made a decision that surprised Shen Xiang and his group. She proposed to make a contract, suggesting she indeed needed large quantities of medicinal pills and had confidence in winning.

"Are they needing so many medicinal pills to attack Chenwu Continent" Shen Xiang asked, while Li Baokuan went out to make the contract with Wang Qionjin.

"It's possible, but winning will give them two benefits. One, it weakens our Dragon Descending Pill Pavilion's medicinal power, and two, they get large quantities of medicinal pills for themselves! They know that our Dragon Descending Pill Pavilion's foundation is robust, and their strength shown during their last attack against God Weapon Heaven made them cautious. If they launch a total assault on Chenwu Continent, our large supply of medicinal pills will give them significant obstruction," said Duan Chong.

Shen Xiang nodded, agreeing that Duan Chong's analysis was logical. However, he believed that even if they lost this competition, their foundations would remain unaffected. He could still produce large quantities of ingredients by closing himself for a few months, and the Pill Pavilion had enough alchemists to create medicinal pills quickly.

Li Baokuan returned, smiling and said, "That old woman doesn't know what she's planning. She really signed the contract with me.If they default on payment or cause damage to Dragon Descending City during this period, she will suffer."

Shen Xiang confirmed the contract's validity before opening the city gates and letting the large group in. The competition between Fiery God Temple's alchemists would start immediately.

"Have the rules been arranged" Shen Xiang was more concerned about this because unfavorable rules could make things difficult for them.

"The rules are set by them, and I think they're fair for both sides! Both parties will send two participants each to compete in alchemy trials. Whoever wins two consecutive matches is the final winner. As for what medicinal pills to make, each side calls their turns! The first match decides which pill they'll call for, and then the second match is our turn. Winners will be determined by the quality, quantity, and time needed to make the medicinal pills." Li Baokuan explained.

Shen Xiang frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "What if they call for pills we don't have ingredients for Fiery God Temple came from Heaven, and if they make仙丹or high-level pills, don't we lose"

"The highest limit is that they can't call for仙丹. If you lack ingredients, you can buy them from each other. Whoever calls for what pill definitely won't be short of the ingredients, and we also have them." Li Baokuan replied. "I've already asked about these rules."

"Is the first call theirs" Shen Xiang had some doubts. "With a highest limit, is there also a lowest limit"

Shen Xiang was very good at making low-level pills. Competing by quality, quantity, and time, he was sure of his victory. However, if it were high-level pills, he wasn't so confident.

"Yes, the lowest limit is Heavenly Grade Third-Class pill. If you can't make a Heavenly Grade Third-Class pill, I'll take care of it all myself; there's no rule restricting someone from making consecutive calls," Li Baokuan said.

Duan Chong asked, "If it's a tie after the first match, wouldn't we still have to continue"

Li Baokuan nodded. "Correct. We'll continue until one side wins two matches in a row. If things go wrong, it could be a stamina test. After making many batches of Heavenly Grade pills and refining them to some extent, we'll move on to Earthly Grade pills until there's a conclusion."

"We have to win the first two matches with overwhelming force, watching them flaunt their arrogance," Shen Xiang suddenly smiled.

"Headmaster, are you going to fight too How good is your level of refining Heavenly Grade pills" Li Baokuan asked curiously. According to common logic, Shen Xiang needed to master over a hundred evolutions to make Heavenly Grade pills. It wasn't something that could be accomplished by relying on genius alone; it required accumulating time slowly, and even Eternity Genius Li Tianjun took a long time to cross this abyss.

Shen Xiang smiled mysteriously, saying, "As long as I don't hinder you, why wouldn't you believe in my level"

Li Baokuan and Duan Chong exchanged glances, their expressions strange. Although Duan Chong wasn't an alchemist, he knew about alchemy to some extent. Given Shen Xiang's age, it was impossible for him to produce Heavenly Grade Third-Class pills—he needed over one hundred evolutions to achieve that, which required accumulating time. And Shen Xiang was only alive for how many years It was hard to believe that he could reach such a level, and nobody had ever mastered multiple evolutions in such a short time before.

"Get ready, prepare the place. Since they're giving us medicinal pills, we have to accept them," Shen Xiang said with a smile. He then changed his appearance.

Wang Qiongjin was rebuilding Pill City and bringing a large group to humiliate Dragon Descending City. They were very confident, as if they could easily defeat Dragon Descending City, and a victory for them would indeed be a significant blow. as he didn't expect someone to bring the Heavenbolt Soul Fruit to sell. To him, Shen Xiang was now a super wastrel who would put such valuable items at risk just to catch the attention of Immortal La...
