Hearing Lao Yu’s loud mockery, Alex did not budge in the slightest. He didn't even bother to spare a glance at the youth. His face remained utterly indifferent, wearing the same faint, mysterious smile he always displayed.However, Lao Yu, feeling that his taunts were being brushed off like a passing breeze, growled in frustration."Tch, acting so calm! Let's see how long you can maintain that arrogance once you witness my power!"Lao Yu refocused his attention onto the table. With a flair that was dramatic and explosive, he slammed his hands forward into the air.WUUUUUSH!The deep purple Energy-Devouring Flame rolling over his palms erupted into an even fiercer blaze. A wave of piercing heat radiated from Lao Yu's dragon furnace, compressing the atmosphere around the arena until the air itself warped and distorted."Enter!" Lao Yu roared with supreme arrogance.He threw three high-grade spiritual herbs into the furnace simultaneously. The ancient purple flame instantly engulfed the

The proposal from the Medicine Pavilion Master instantly plunged the echoing Sacred Flame Altar into absolute silence. A Blood Oath to the Heavens and in the Name of the Sect was no laughing matter. Should anyone dare break it, the laws of nature and the sect's karmic retribution would obliterate the violator’s soul and meridian pathways until nothing remained!Hearing this, Elder Yao Yue’s body trembled violently. Tremendous doubt struck her chest. Wagering her disciple’s freedom, her own honor, and the very future of the Silver Gate Pavilion in an eternal oath was a gamble far too terrifying to bear.'Is this truly the right choice? If Wei Zhong makes even a single tiny mistake...' Yao Yue thought in panic, her knuckles turning white as she clenched her fists tightly.Yet, right when Yao Yue felt suffocated by the weight of her hesitation, a subtle voice filled with unshakable authority echoed directly within her mind via telepathic transmission.'Master... trust me.'Yao Yue startl

"Ooh, I almost forgot—you haven't even mentioned what stakes you want from me... Wei Zhong! State your three wishes!"Every pair of eyes at the Sacred Flame Altar suddenly fixed upon Alex. His composure in the middle of Lao Yu’s wild provocation made the atmosphere on stage grow even tenser.Yet on stage...Alex folded his arms across his chest. His sharp eyes gleamed with cold dominance as his gaze locked onto Lao Yu, who was still wearing a cruel smirk.Alex's voice, calm yet echoing crystal clear, cut through the silence of the arena."Since you've already stated your three absurd stakes, it is now my turn to demand three conditions should your pill prove to be nothing more than trash before me."Lao Yu chuckled coldly, feeling that any condition Alex posed would mean nothing, so absolute was his conviction in his own victory."Speak! Even if you ask for a thousand conditions, I will accept them all, because you will never have the chance to win!"Alex ignored the mocking laughter.

Alex’s sharp and calm words echoed clearly across every corner of the Sacred Fire Altar. Paying no heed to the prejudiced glares of thousands of spectators, Alex walked casually up the black granite steps toward the top of the main stage altar.Tap! Tap! Tap!However...Lao Yu, hearing himself referred to as a "frog in a well," felt his honor had been blatantly disgraced. His face flushed a deep crimson, and the muscles in his neck strained as rage surged to his chest."You... how dare you act so insolently in my presence, you ignorant brat?!" Lao Yu hissed with murderous intent. The corners of his lips twisted into a cruel smirk."Today, I'll make sure you kneel and beg for mercy after your cheap trick is exposed in front of—"BOOOOOM!Before Lao Yu could even finish his mocking sentence, the atmosphere across the entire Sacred Fire Altar transformed drastically!The sky above the arena trembled violently. Thick, dark clouds tore apart under the slash of a terrifyingly massive spirit

Alex and Elder Yao Yue's footsteps guided them through the main gate separating the outer and inner courts. The moment they stepped into the grounds of the Sacred Fire Altar, an extraordinary sight instantly greeted their senses.The atmosphere in that place was blazing and boiling over with intensity!"I heard one of the disciples from the Silver Gate Pavilion will be representing them in this year's annual event?""Woah, really? I thought that was just an exaggerated rumor!"Designed like a giant circular stadium made of black granite stone, the Sacred Fire Altar area was now crammed with a sea of people. Even though the alchemist selection tournament was a routine annual event held to map out new talents, the enthusiasm this time had surged thousands of times over. Thousands of disciples from various pavilions, inner circle disciples, and even over a dozen Guardian Elders filled the tiered spectator stands.The echoes of whispers, wagers, and speculative cheers continued to bounce

The words Alex uttered so calmly and directly instantly halted the flow of Elder Yao Yue's panic.Yao Yue froze. The grip he had on Alex's shoulders slowly loosened. His aging eyes stared deeply into the eyes of the disciple before him. There, behind the disguise of the ordinary-looking "Wei Zhong," Yao Yue found not a single trace of doubt, panic, or fear typical of a young man. Instead, what he saw was the depth of an immeasurable ocean and a hidden majesty that made the hairs on his neck stand on end.Alex...The name echoed continuously in Yao Yue's mind. From the beginning, he had harbored an intense curiosity regarding this young man's true identity. A peerless genius capable of summoning tribulation lightning simply by refining a pill, possessing medical insights that surpassed the ancestors, and harboring an invisible aura that occasionally made Yao Yue's own soul tremble. Who was the true figure behind this name, Alex? Was he the reincarnation of an ancient expert? Or an envo
