Chapter 2718
byNine is the extreme of numbers. At most, only nine pellets can be refined from a furnace of elixirs.
Suggesting to change to a kind of Dao Source-level elixir is not because Ji Ying has no chance of winning, but just doesn’t want to win without fairness！ He has been an Emperor Alchemist for many years and has refined countless Emperor Yuan Pellets. Even if Yang Kai is also an Emperor Alchemist, it is impossible for him to have such rich experience as Ji Ying. If they choose to refine Emperor Yuan Pellets, he will have a great advantage invisibly.
But if they change to Dao Source-level elixirs, although he still has an advantage, at least everyone’s starting point will not be too different.
Yang Kai shook his head and said, “No need. Thank you, Master Ji, for your kindness. Let’s refine Emperor Yuan Pellets！”
Naturally, he understood why Ji Ying had this suggestion, and his impression of him suddenly improved a little.
Not everyone can become the chief alchemist of Lingxiao Palace. Even if this Ji Ying is the direct disciple of Wonderful Pill Great Emperor, if his character is not up to standard, Yang Kai will not have his mind on him.
Previously, he was able to readily admit his mistake and even apologize for the matter of Li Xuan, and expelled Li Xuan from Medicine Pill Valley in front of himself, which made Yang Kai feel that this Ji Ying had a good character and was honest and kind. Now, it seems that it is indeed the case.
From another perspective, he is the disciple of Wonderful Pill Great Emperor and a person from Medicine Pill Valley. Even if he didn’t apologize to Yang Kai before, Yang Kai couldn’t do anything to him, unless he really wanted to risk offending Medicine Pill Valley to make things difficult for him.
One attempt is enough. Although this Ji Ying has an extraordinary background and a noble status, he doesn’t have the hypocritical arrogance of most alchemists. Coupled with his status as an Emperor Alchemist, if he can become the chief alchemist of Lingxiao Palace, then in the future, Yang Kai won’t have to worry too much about the elixirs of the sect.
He can even let Ji Ying train a group of alchemists for Lingxiao Sect！
For the development of a sect, relying on oneself alone is not enough. Only by being comprehensive in all aspects can one move forward.
Since Palace Master Yang insists on this. Then naturally, there is no problem for Ji.” Ji Ying said in a deep voice, with a sense of grievance that his kindness was treated as a donkey’s liver and lungs.”
As he spoke, he flipped his hand and took out a pile of medicinal materials, dividing them into two parts. Looking at Yang Kai, he said, “These two parts are both medicinal materials for refining Emperor Yuan Pills. There is no difference in quality or age. Palace Master Yang, please check.”
Yang Kai smiled and said, “I trust Master Ji’s character.”
Then you choose one！” Ji Ying said.
Yang Kai casually chose one. Ji Ying’s reputation and status are there. Even if he wants to win against Yang Kai, he will defeat him openly and aboveboard with his alchemy skills and will not play any tricks.
Seeing Yang Kai’s relaxed and freehand appearance, Ji Ying felt inexplicably angry and snorted, “In that case, let’s start. Since Palace Master Yang is an Emperor Alchemist, he should have his own alchemy furnace, right？ Do you need me to lend you one？”
“No need.” Yang Kai smiled and shook his head.
Since they wanted to compete as alchemists, it was natural to have a showdown in public and not hide anything. Without moving, they directly set up their postures right in this great hall.
Ji Ying casually threw. A three-legged alchemy furnace flew out and landed steadily on the ground. As soon as the alchemy furnace appeared, a strange fragrance filled the great hall, like orchid and musk, making people’s spirits lift. The alchemy furnace was simple and ancient, obviously very old. On both ends, the dragon heads stood upright, lifelike. It seemed to be the key to adjusting the size of the furnace fire, and the inside of the furnace was even covered with dense rune patterns, making people feel a little dizzy at a glance.
A sense of Emperor Realm spread out！
“What a good furnace！” Yang Kai’s eyes lit up and he praised repeatedly.
As an alchemist himself. Naturally, he had a special love for a good alchemy furnace. As soon as Ji Ying took out this alchemy furnace, Yang Kai knew it was no ordinary thing. And judging from the diffused fragrance, Ji Ying had definitely refined countless spiritual pills with this alchemy furnace and should have reached a state of unity between man and furnace.
Ji Ying said proudly, “This is the worst alchemy furnace in my hand.”
Taking out the worst one. It was just to avoid taking advantage and also a manifestation of his confidence in his own strength.
Yang Kai nodded slightly and with a flick of his hand, he also threw out his own alchemy furnace.
This alchemy furnace was entirely purple and glittering. The moment it appeared, the Emperor’s will filled the air. It was clearly of the same grade as Ji Ying’s alchemy furnace, both being Emperor-level alchemy furnaces. This couldn’t help but make Ji Ying look stunned, as if he didn’t expect Yang Kai to have such a foundation.
However, upon further thought, if Yang Kai was really an Emperor-level alchemist, it was normal to have an Emperor-level alchemy furnace.
The only thing that made Ji Ying suspicious and not understood was that this alchemy furnace… looked somewhat familiar.
Ji Ying was certain that he had never seen this alchemy furnace before. If he had seen it, he would definitely have recognized it.
With the duel coming soon he didn’t have the mind to think too much. He hurriedly immersed his mind. Even if the opponent was a young man who didn’t know the heights of heaven and the depths of the earth, he didn’t take it lightly at all. Even a lion uses all its strength when fighting a rabbit.
Showing his true skills and defeating him comprehensively was the respect for alchemy and the response to the master’s teachings over the years.
“Shall we start？” Ji Ying’s expression was solemn as he turned his head and looked at Yang Kai.
Yang Kai was about to nod when he suddenly cast his gaze aside and smiled, saying, “Wouldn’t Master Mi and Palace Master Li also like to place a bet？”
“Can we also place bets？” Mi Qi and Li Jiao looked at each other, quite pleasantly surprised.
“Since you’re here, would the two of you be willing to return empty-handed？” Yang Kai looked at them with a smile.
“Alright！” Mi Qi gave a low shout. “We’ll place a bet. I just wonder how big a bet Palace Master Yang can take！”
“As big as it comes. Even betting the foundation of the sect is fine.” Yang Kai said casually.
“What…” Upon hearing this, both Mi Qi and Li Jiao’s expressions changed, scared by Yang Kai’s words. Betting the foundation of the sect was too big a deal. Although Mi Qi and Li Jiao had the intention to take advantage of the situation and cut a few pieces of meat from Yang Kai, they didn’t dare to even think about betting the foundation of the sect.
Even if they had full confidence in Ji Ying, they still didn’t dare to gamble so boldly.
“You two don’t dare？” Yang Kai looked at them contemptuously.
“It’s not that we don’t dare, but there’s no need. We have no grudges against each other. Why play so big.” Mi Qi said stubbornly. In fact, he was just guilty.
“That’s right, just play around.”
“Since that’s the case, then what kind of bet do you two think you can afford？” Yang Kai asked.
Mi Qi and Li Jiao looked at each other, and their spiritual thoughts surged, as if they were communicating something.
Yang Kai wasn’t in a hurry either. He just stood aside and waited, smiling and saying to Ji Ying, “The weather is nice today.”
Ji Ying frowned, thinking that this was nonsense. The sky was clear outside, and even a fool could see that.
But why was he telling himself this？ Was he trying to interfere with his state of mind… Truly insidious！
Couldn’t help but glare at Yang Kai, looking at his nose with his eyes and looking at his heart with his nose.
“Palace Master Yang, Brother Li and I have discussed it.” Mi Qi suddenly said.
Yang Kai stretched out his hand to signal.
Mi Qi said, “Brother Li and I bet the income of our respective sects for ten years. I wonder if Sect Master Yang dares to take it！”
Even Ji Ying was slightly moved when he heard this bet.
The income of their respective sects for ten years, although it sounds simple, if converted into source crystals, it is an extremely terrifying number. For top sects like the Mi Tian Sect and the Li Long Palace, they have countless industries under their doors and also own their own source crystal veins and so on. The income of one year is at least 50 million high-grade source crystals.
Ten years, that’s 500 million high-grade source crystals！
For the two major sects, it’s one billion！
This number is simply terrifying.
It seems that Mi Qi and Li Jiao are also cruel-hearted and want to get some benefits from the Ling Xiao Palace. Ji Ying turned his head to look at Yang Kai, wanting to know what expression he had now.
Should… not look very good, right？
At a glance, Ji Ying was stunned. Yang Kai actually curled his lips in disdain and sneered, “You two are also well-known figures in the Northern Territory. How stingy you are when you make a move!”
“Stingy？” Mi Qi’s face sank. “How dare you say we are stingy！”
Li Jiao narrowed his eyes and said, “Palace Master Yang, could it be that you are playing tricks and actually don’t dare to take this bet？”
He thought he had seen through Yang Kai’s thoughts, and his tone was also sarcastic.
“Fifty years！” Yang Kai said firmly, raising a hand. “I bet with you for fifty years, the income of each sect for fifty years！”
“Hiss…” Both Mi Qi and Li Jiao sucked in a breath of cold air.
Ji Ying also widened her eyes on the side, looking at Yang Kai like a lunatic.
“You you you…” Mi Qi’s mouth was a little unresponsive, showing the intensity of his mood swings. “Do you know how much the income of Mi Tianzong for fifty years is？ How dare you brag like this.”
Yang Kai said indifferently： “Counting you as fifty million top-grade source crystals a year, five hundred million in ten years, and two billion and five hundred million in fifty years！ The two sects are only five billion！”
“Only… five billion！” Li Jiao was almost choked to death by Yang Kai’s big talk. He really wanted to ask Yang Kai if he knew what the concept of five billion top-grade source crystals was？
Yang Kai sneered and looked at them disdainfully: “What, the two of you don’t dare to bet anymore? Or do you have no confidence in Master Ji?
The first sentence was nothing, but the second sentence was serious. If they really backed down at this point, wouldn’t it be as Yang Kai said, that they had no confidence in Ji Ying？ This matter could be big or small, and it might offend Ji Ying if not handled properly.
What a sinister and cunning guy！ Li Jiao and Mi Qi hated him to the core.
Now that things have come to this point, naturally they couldn’t back down. Li Jiao coldly snorted and said, “Naturally, there’s no problem for Brother Mi Qi and me. Fifty years it is. I just wonder if Palace Master Yang can come up with so many bets！”
“Exactly！” Mi Qi nodded in agreement. “Fifty billion high-grade Source Crystals is no small amount. If Palace Master Yang reneges on the bet at that time, what can Brother Li and I do to you？”
“Ridiculous！” Yang Kai pointed at his own nose and said. “Do I look like someone who doesn’t keep his word?”
Mi Qi and Li Jiao seriously sized him up. The latter said, “We’re not familiar with each other！ Who knows what kind of person you are.”
“Fine, fine, fine.” Yang Kai looked furious, which made Mi Qi and Li Jiao even more think that he was playing tricks.”
Mi Qi laughed loudly and said, “If Palace Master Yang can come up with the corresponding bet, why not place a bet with Brother Li and me？”
“These words are what you said. Don’t regret it！” Yang Kai jumped up and down and said.”
“Then take it out！” Li Jiao seemed to see through Yang Kai and urged.”
“I’m taking it out right now！” Yang Kai shouted sternly.”
“Take it out！”
“Take it out！” Yang Kai flipped his hand, and a Space Ring appeared in the palm of his hand, immediately attracting everyone’s attention.”
