Lin Xuan's words shocked the surrounding martial artists, while the disciples of the Shen Family all wore grim expressions, especially that cold youth who screamed out loud.
"What? Two six-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, three five-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs? Are you crazy? You're just robbing us!"
"Who do you think you are to propose such conditions? Do you even know how precious and valuable these things are?"
The cold youth was very agitated, and Shen Tianyu's expression was also sullen, with a hint of sharpness in his eyes.
"Do you know how precious my Purple Spirit Pill is?" Lin Xuan replied coldly.
"If you're not blind, you could have seen what price a Purple Spirit Pill fetched at today's auction."
"What reactions did those elders have!"
"Moreover, that's just a single Purple Spirit Pill. What I'm betting now can generate endless wealth!"
"Who is taking advantage of whom, I think you're well aware!"
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded repeatedly.
Indeed, while the six-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs are precious, they are gone once used.
But an elixir recipe is different, it can be passed down for generations.
Moreover, the magical Purple Spirit Pill, if someone acquires the recipe, it's akin to obtaining a mountain of gold, bringing endless wealth and alliances from major forces!
With Lin Xuan's explanation, everyone found it very reasonable.
Thinking about it now, it was truly too stingy of Shen Tianyu to offer only two ordinary seventh-grade elixir recipes as a wager; it felt a bit like bullying.
After all, the opponent is not an ordinary disciple but a genius disciple from a King Family, making such ordinary recipes unworthy of his status.
Shen Tianyu's face also turned grim. He originally thought he could bluff his way through with two recipes, but he didn't expect the other party to be so cunning and not fall for it at all.
Moreover, the conditions the other party proposed shocked him even more.
Two six-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs and three five-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs—these were precisely the most precious items in his storage ring.
He didn't know how the other party knew about the contents of his storage ring, but in his view, it should be a coincidence.
Because to probe a storage ring requires soul power, and with his strength as a seventh-grade alchemist, he would notice any slight movement.
Furthermore, he didn't believe the other party could escape his senses, so he considered it purely coincidental.
"Fine, I'll agree to your terms!" Shen Tianyu said solemnly.
Although his spiritual herbs were incredibly precious, they were indeed nothing compared to the Purple Spirit Pill's recipe.
Moreover, he was confident he wouldn't lose, so he wasn't worried about losing whatever he wagered, as long as he could incite the opponent to compete with him.
Linna Xuan seeing Shen Tianyu agree, smirked internally.
Indeed, the opponent took the bait and agreed to participate in the competition. This was better than he could have hoped.
Furthermore, the spiritual herbs he demanded were not randomly named but something he was well aware of.
Of course, it wasn't information he obtained through soul power detection; rather, it was the snow white monkey that informed him.
The snow white monkey had a special sensitivity to heavenly materials and earthly treasures, so it could clearly know how many good things the opponent's storage ring contained.
If it weren't for the opponent's strong soul power, the snow white monkey would have already used the treasure bowl to seize them.
However, even now, as long as the opponent dared to wager those spiritual herbs, Lin Xuan was confident he could win them back.
Seeing the agreement between the two alchemy geniuses, the crowd around them also expressed shock, then excitement.
Lin Xuan and Shen Tianyu were both immensely powerful and highly skilled alchemists.
Not to mention Shen Tianyu, who, at such a young age, had reached the level of a seventh-grade alchemist, his talent could be considered extraordinary.
Lin Xuan was even more amazing, capable of refining such a magical elixir like the Purple Spirit Pill, driving countless Venerables mad.
It could be said that both were alchemical geniuses.
Now that the two were about to compete, it was bound to be incredibly exciting.
"Fine, ten days from now, I'll be waiting for you at the Heavenly Pill Pavilion!" Shen Tianyu said coldly, then left with the disciples of the Shen Family.
"Our Divine Bird Palace won't miss this showdown!"
Those from the Divine Bird Palace gave Lin Xuan a hard look, eyes brimming with icy glints, then laughed and left.
They were well aware of Shen Tianyu's reputation; in their view, beating Lin Xuan would be a matter of minutes for Shen Tianyu.
Although they couldn't take action themselves, witnessing Lin Xuan's failure would also be a great outcome for them.
"A showdown between geniuses is indeed not to be missed." The disciples of Divine Sword Manor also nodded slightly, then left quickly.
The young disciples around were all astir, insisting they couldn't miss this exciting battle.
Very quickly, this news spread, stirring the entire Wind-Seeking City.
They couldn't have imagined that right after the auction, such explosive news would emerge.
This was definitely a world-shaking showdown!
The crowd was thrilled, deciding to stay in Wind City, waiting for the battle between the two.
Watching the backs of those who left, Lin Xuan laughed.
He knew what those people were thinking; probably not many believed he could refine the Purple Spirit Pill.
However, he didn't care about these doubts and didn't bother to explain much, as he would refine it on the spot and naturally shut these people up!
Moreover, what angered him more was that the people from the Shen Family dared to think about his elixir recipe!
An elixir recipe is the lifeblood of an alchemist, especially one so valuable that most alchemists would never give it up, even at the cost of their lives.
Yet, the other party now wanted his recipe, which was akin to wanting his life!
So, Lin Xuan was not sitting idly by.
"Alas, it's a pity that there are only this many spiritual herbs in his storage ring, if there were more, it would be better."
Lin Xuan sighed with a face full of regret.
What he lacked the most now were these spiritual herbs, especially the precious ones; in his eyes, Shen Tianyu was just a medicine delivery boy!
Just as Lin Xuan was setting up the competition, on the other side, the big figures were also done discussing.
In fact, there was nothing much to discuss, just confirming with each other and getting ready, as this was both a challenge and an opportunity for them.
If they're lucky, they would receive great rewards.
Lin Xuan just happened to meet these influential figures, and he promptly greeted them: "Greetings, seniors."
Several elders from major powers glanced at Lin Xuan, nodding slightly, but the middle-aged man from the War God Palace's pupils contracted sharply, as if he had seen a ghost.
He quickly composed himself, though a cold smile lingered on his lips.
On the other side, the green-clothed elder was also surprised, not expecting Lin Xuan to meet them here, and to run into someone from the War God Palace, which wasn't a good thing!
However, he said nothing publicly, as he wasn't sure if the other side knew about Lin Xuan's affairs, so he couldn't panic prematurely.
