“It seems that Chu Beige is also feeling jealous because the kid is getting too close with Prince Qu.”

“Chu Beige is no Lin Mozhu.

Lin Mozhu’s strength actually relies on his swordsmanship.

Once his swordsmanship is broken, his strength is far inferior to the other three.”

“Chu Beige, on the other hand, is a body cultivator, rumored to be born with divine power, frighteningly strong with brute strength!”

“That’s right, Chu Beige relies on brute strength.

No matter how skillful this kid is, in front of Chu Beige, he probably won’t be able to perform.”

The crowd turned their eyes to Chu Fengmian, all shaking their heads.

Even though Chu Fengmian had just defeated Lin Mozhu, not a single person among them held hope for Chu Fengmian.

Lin Mozhu’s weakness was quite obvious; if one could target his swordsmanship, defeating him was not too difficult.

But Chu Beige was a body cultivator, almost without weaknesses, possessing only formidable brute strength.

If one could not contend with Chu Beige in terms of strength, it was impossible to beat him.

“What are you playing at, Chu Beige!” Qu Wuyin said in a cold voice upon hearing Chu Beige’s words.

“Who I associate with is none of your business!”

“Hmph, Prince Qu is free to make friends with whoever he wishes.

Beige certainly doesn’t interfere.

Today, I merely wish to prove that a good-for-nothing has no right to associate with Prince Qu.”

Chu Beige looked at Chu Fengmian with a cold smirk, his eyes showing a hint of disdain as he spoke.

“Kid, do you dare to fight me!”

“If you’re too scared, leave Jijing City right now and you can avoid a bit of physical pain.”

“You want to fight me?

Fine, I, Chu, accept.”

Chu Fengmian looked at Chu Beige, speaking in a calm tone.

“However, the terms must change.”

“I, Chu, don’t seem to have any relationship with Miss Qu, so using that as the stake seems quite unreasonable.”

“How about we change the bet?”

Chu Fengmian looked at Chu Beige, speaking calmly.

His expression was utterly tranquil.

“What bet?”

Hearing Chun Fengmian’s words, Chu Beige was slightly taken aback; he seemed not to have expected that Chu Fengmian would actually accept his challenge.

Originally, Chu Beige had spoken this way just to pressure Chu Fengmian into retreating.

To make Chu Fengmian lose face in front of everyone, and with Qu Wuyin’s proud nature, she would definitely not bother with Chu Fengmian any longer.

Now that Chu Fengmian had accepted, it was somewhat unexpected to him.

Chu Beige’s expression, first one of surprise, then showed a cold smirk as he thought to himself.

“If he’s seeking death, then let me teach this kid a lesson and let Qu Wuyin understand!

In this Jijing City, the only one worthy of her is me!”

Chu Beige spoke decisively.

“Then what do you want to bet on!”

Chu Beige viewed the duel as a way to teach Chu Fengmian a lesson, to quell his arrogance.

He didn’t really care about the content of the bet.

Because Chu Beige didn’t believe he could possibly lose to Chu Fengmian.

Even if Chu Fengmian’s swordsmanship was skillful, his fifth level of the Body Cultivation Realm was truly too low.

If Chu Fengmian were like Lin Mozhu, at the seventh level of the Body Cultivation Realm,

Chu Beige would not dare to speak so boldly.

But with the strength of the fifth level of Body Cultivation, Feng Mian feared even Chu Beige’s body couldn’t be broken through.

Now, it seemed he was practically on invincible ground.

Chu Fengmian, watching Chu Beige’s expression, guessed his thoughts.

His lips moved slightly, uttering a phrase.

“How about a bet of ten thousand Qi Gathering Pills?”

“What?

Ten thousand Qi Gathering Pills?”

“Where does this kid get such confidence to make such a huge bet?”

“Ten thousand Qi Gathering Pills, can this youngster actually bring out so many?

That’s a whopping ten thousand Contribution Points!”

Everyone who heard Chu Fengmian’s words was shocked.

Ten thousand Qi Gathering Pills, even for those from the great clans, was an astronomical figure.

Any clan would struggle to produce ten thousand Qi Gathering Pills at once.

For these clan geniuses, bringing out several thousand was already their limit; ten thousand was virtually impossible.

“What?

Ten thousand Qi Gathering Pills?”

Chu Beige looked at Chu Fengmian in surprise.

He couldn’t imagine that Chu Fengmian would put forth such a large amount in a bet.

Chu Beige intentionally gave Chu Fengmian a few extra glances.

He originally thought that Chu Fengmian was merely stuck in a difficult position, choosing to change the terms of the bet only to give himself a way out.

But with such a grand bet, it must mean Chu Fengmian was extremely confident in his own strength to propose it.

“What, can’t bring them out?

If you can’t, betting five thousand is also fine,”

Chu Fengmian said with a smile while looking at Chu Beige.

He chose to bet on Qi Gathering Pills precisely because he wanted to take this opportunity to make a big profit.

Truth be told, Chu Fengmian’s supply of Qi Gathering Pills was nearly depleted.

The ten thousand he wagered was all he had left.

He had to find a chance to earn more Qi Gathering Pills.

He needed those ten thousand Contribution Points, so he wouldn’t miss any opportunity to earn more.

“A joke, ten thousand Qi Gathering Pills, I can certainly produce,”

Chu Beige’s eyes revealed a hint of skepticism.

“But I do wonder if you truly have ten thousand Qi Gathering Pills, or if you’re just trying to mouth off and scare me away?”

Chu Beige didn’t hide his doubt.

Even many spectators around them looked at Chu Fengmian skeptically.

They believed Chu Beige could produce ten thousand Qi Gathering Pills because he was from the Chu family.

The Chu family’s reputation couldn’t be bought, not for ten thousand, not even for a hundred thousand Qi Gathering Pills.

Naturally, Chu Beige wouldn’t make an empty promise.

But what about Chu Fengmian, an outsider martial artist with not the slightest bit of fame?

Whether he could actually come up with such a huge amount was indeed a suspicious matter.

“Whoosh!”

Without saying a word to explain, Chu Fengmian suddenly opened his storage bag, and countless Qi Gathering Pills danced in the air.

Like a river of medicine, numerous Qi Gathering Pills swiftly passed by, then were promptly gathered back into Chu Fengmian’s storage bag.

Among them, there indeed seemed to be as many as ten thousand Qi Gathering Pills.

“With this, young master Chu should believe me now,”

Chu Fengmian looked at Chu Beige, his face full of smiles.

He was just waiting for Chu Beige to agree, and then a sizeable windfall would be within his grasp.

Ten thousand Qi Gathering Pills, that was no small fortune indeed.
