Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 240 Who Said I Lost?

Chapter 240: Chapter 240 Who Said I Lost?

Outside the Alchemy Room, even Elder Shoumei couldn’t help but feel a tinge of nervousness. Although his disciple was incredibly talented, the difficulty of defeating a Respected Elder in the Alchemy Dao was immense.

Elder Yang’s alchemy skills, although not the strongest, were much more formidable than those of an ordinary elder.

Wood Talisman Elixirs were especially Elder Yang’s forte in alchemy.

Chu Feng, so young, even if his alchemy talent were monstrous, it would still be limited.

Having produced Fire Talisman Pills and Golden Talisman Elixirs, Chu Feng had already demonstrated exceptional strength. This was truly monstrous.

Keep in mind, whether it’s Fire Runes or Golden Runes, both are extremely arcane and complex. To learn just one of them, the time required is immeasurable. Ten years would be considered short, and a hundred years wouldn’t be too many.

How old is Chu Feng? Merely seventeen years old.

Even if he started cultivating the Alchemy Dao from the womb, could he possibly learn three types of runes?

This time, even Elder Shoumei was nervous and worried. Not to mention everyone else. Qin Ke’er’s hands couldn’t help but clasp tightly together. Liu Dazhuang and Luo Mi were equally tense, concerned for Chu Feng.

"Has my husband gone mad? How could he agree to compete with Elder Yang!"

"Moreover, it’s a contest using Elder Yang’s specialty, Wood Talisman Elixirs! I’m afraid it’s a certain defeat! But even if he loses, it would still be an honorable defeat, since the one who beat him is a Respected Elder."

While she was worried for her husband, Han Xiaoying also felt proud and boasted about him.

At this moment, the alchemy competition between the two had already begun.

Elder Yang was going all out, showcasing immense strength. Whether it was controlling the flames, calcining the herbs, or inscribing Wood Runes... each step was performed with ease and skill.

Who would have known that just passing one hour, Chu Feng would walk out from the Alchemy Room.

"Haha, Chu Feng, coming out with empty hands, you must have failed in alchemy! You’ve lost!"

"A cocky army is bound to lose, serves you right!"

"You too have your day, huh? Weren’t you just now smug like you owned the sky? Can’t act so high and mighty now, can you!"

The disciples of Elder Yang were over the moon, tongue-lashing at Chu Feng, mocking and ridiculing him without restraint, even starting to heap insults upon him.

Elder Shoumei and others had anticipated this outcome.

"Chu Feng, you need not be disheartened. Defeating Shangguan Bei and Wen Changfeng was already quite impressive," Elder Shoumei consoled Chu Feng with a gentle voice.

"Exactly, exactly, Junior Brother Chu has lost yet remains honorable! Given a few more decades, I believe you can definitely defeat Elder Yang," Senior Sister Qin also softly comforted Chu Feng.

"You fox spirit, if you don’t speak, no one will treat you as mute!" Han Xiaoying came over with an ice-cold face, scolding Senior Sister Qin.

Clearly, she was jealous again.

"Husband, victory and defeat are common in martial arts. We as martial cultivators should not mind a momentary win or loss. Only ants struggle for a day, while we, martial cultivators, strive for the heavens, for the earth. We aim for the freedom of the world, for eternalness!"

Han Xiaoying’s character carried a martial arts spirit, and her words of consolation to Chu Feng were equally distinctive.

Her insight and perspective were incomparable to an ordinary person.

Even Senior Sister Qin could not match her.

Although Han Xiaoying was usually reserved, at this moment, to comfort Chu Feng, she publicly called him husband in front of everyone. This itself was the greatest consolation and affirmation.

Unlike some women, who would show coldness and disdain towards Chu Feng when he was down and defeated, or even turn to throw themselves into the arms of other men.

Only a woman like Han Xiaoying truly deserved to be cherished.

"What a transcendent eternity! Little girl, your master indeed has not misjudged you. With such a temperament, you will surely become a true phoenix among women!" Elder Shoumei looked at Han Xiaoying with a gaze full of admiration.

Chu Feng also smiled at her and nodded, his eyes brimming with affection.

In the Alchemy Room, Elder Yang listened to everything attentively. Learning that Chu Feng had failed in alchemy so quickly, he was overjoyed and couldn’t help but reveal a happy smile. His face was saved.

Six hours later, Elder Yang bellowed, "Open!"

The Pill Furnace opened, and with a gesture toward the interior, a Second Grade Wood Talisman Elixir flew out and landed steadily in the Jade Box that had been prepared in advance.

Elder Yang, holding the Jade Box, walked out with a face glowing with triumph.

"Haha, it seems my alchemy skills haven’t rusted, as I’ve luckily concocted a Second Grade Wood Talisman Elixir! Chu Feng, you’ve lost!" Elder Yang was so proud, almost as if his tail was about to lift into the sky.

The crowd also emitted waves of astonished exclamations, looking at Elder Yang with unparalleled admiration and respect.

"Congratulations to Master, congratulations to Master, for perfectly defeating Chu Feng!" Shangguan Bei, despite being injured, was extremely happy to see his master defeating Chu Feng.

"Chu Feng amounts to nothing; he’s simply no match in front of Master!"

"Just a nobody, not even fully grown, to presumptuously compare with our Master in the Alchemy Dao is simply humiliating himself!"

The others also flattered Elder Yang one after another.

The smile never left Elder Yang’s face. Holding the Jade Box, he looked at Elder Shoumei proudly and said, "Elder Shoumei, weren’t you mocking me as a mediocre master?

"Now, I’ll make you understand what real skill is. From now on, you had better tuck your tail in front of me and keep a low profile! Of course, if there’s something about the Alchemy Dao you don’t understand, you can still ask this Elder for advice."

Elder Yang was truly shameless to the extreme. Bullying the younger generation, he had the audacity to show off after winning against a junior.

Elder Shoumei had not expected Elder Yang to be such a character.

He had been repeatedly tolerant, only to be met with further encroachment.

He was so angry that his beard fluttered and his robe fluttered without wind.

"Haha... Chu Feng, since you’ve lost, come and pay up fifty thousand taels of silver!" Elder Yang laughed heartily, stretching out his hand to Chu Feng for money, clearly on cloud nine.

"Pay up, pay up! Spit out everything you’ve won!" Shangguan Bei also yelled beside him.

"Who said I’ve lost?"

Chu Feng rolled his eyes and then likewise stretched out his hand, "The one who should be paying is you! And I won’t ask for much, just a hundred thousand taels of silver!"

"You, you dare to renege on a deal with this Elder?" Elder Yang was seething with a killing aura, his face fierce.

"Renege? Have someone fetch the Elixir from the Pill Furnace and see who’s reneging!" Chu Feng said with a cold smirk.

"What do you mean?"

Elder Yang was somewhat slow on the uptake, his face filled with astonishment and uncertainty.

"Someone go check the Pill Furnace in Chu Feng’s Alchemy Room, see if there are any Elixirs inside?"

Bao Liya immediately strode towards the Alchemy Room where Chu Feng had been.

"I’ll go as well, lest these despicable people try to play dirty tricks!" Liu Dazhuang, the Second Senior Brother, also followed, striding forward.

The rest looked on in surprise, each with a hint of anticipation and curiosity.
