"Haha, it seems you lot can only put on an act, wasting so much of the Spiritual Herb!" The Short and Stout Alchemist burst into laughter, his tone dripping with sarcasm. "Maybe today, you won't even be able to concoct a single pill!"
The other Alchemists from the Holy Spirit Palace joined in the mockery, their laughter echoing around them. Yue Shan's face turned ashen, but he felt utterly helpless. The strength of his opponents was clearly superior; he was no match for them. If this chaos continued, he truly might not be able to produce even one pill today.
His expression grew increasingly grim. Yet, to avoid causing trouble for others, he could only endure their taunts in silence.
Not far away, Chen Li, who had a cheating tool at his disposal, noticed the commotion and frowned slightly. He had no intention of dealing with the Holy Spirit Palace members; he just wanted to quickly refine the pills and restore everyone's strength. However, he didn't expect the Holy Spirit Palace people to continue their provocations, which only fueled his disdain.
These scoundrels are too arrogant! With that thought, a glint of coldness flashed in Chen Li's eyes. He extinguished the flames in his hands and swiftly appeared beside Yue Shan.
With a harmless smile on his face, Chen Li spoke seriously, "Senior, how about we switch places?"
Yue Shan waved his hands repeatedly as if Chen Li's suggestion was akin to a pill about to explode. He lamented inwardly—why did this kid suddenly make such a request? How could he, an old man with a beard, respond?
The members of the Holy Spirit Palace were brimming with arrogance. They had clearly been looking for trouble just moments ago. If he couldn't handle this situation himself, how could he let an eight or nine-year-old child face such cruelty? Where would that leave his dignity?
No, no, this won't do! An old lady like me can't compete with you children for space! Yue Shan chuckled awkwardly, trying to mask his embarrassment.
However, Chen Li seemed not to understand his refusal and continued, "Senior, your view is so open and scenic; we really want to stay here. Is that alright?"
As he spoke, he discreetly signaled Shen Qingyue. She immediately understood and scampered over to Yue Shan's side, tugging at his sleeve while sweetly pleading, "Senior, please let go of this spot for my brother!"
Looking into Shen Qingyue's big watery eyes and hearing her soft voice made it impossible for Yue Shan to utter a refusal. He sighed deeply, cursing himself for being so weak-willed at his age—how could he be swayed by a little girl?
Both little ones had already said enough, and if he didn't yield now, he truly couldn't come up with any more excuses. Reluctantly, he had no choice but to compromise.
"Alright, you two siblings stay here. I'll head over there," Old Madam said.
Just before leaving, Yue Shan couldn't help but gently remind them, "When you refine pills, be sure to carefully control the flame's power, especially those with a domineering nature. If you're not careful, the pills could be ruined. Refining pills is no child's play; there's no room for mistakes."
Chen Li smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, Senior. I won't delay the pill refining."
But inside, he secretly scoffed and cast a sidelong glance at the Short and Chubby Alchemist from Holy Spirit Palace. He was just afraid they wouldn’t stir up trouble!
Yue Shan took a few steps back, but under Chen Li's watchful gaze, she could only leave quietly and take her position beside him.
The other Alchemists also turned their attention toward Chen Li. They didn't speak openly about it, but they were all well aware of the situation. One particularly straightforward Alchemist couldn't hold back any longer and wanted to replace Chen Li. However, before he could make a move, he was stopped by Xuanjizi.
Xuanjizi smiled as he looked in Chen Li's direction, exuding confidence. "In the end, it might not be who you think will be unlucky. Just don't go stirring up trouble and miss out on the show."
The straightforward Alchemist was left dumbfounded: "What does that mean?"
With no worries on his mind, Chen Li immediately began the pill refining process. He took out the medicinal materials from his storage ring and skillfully handled them. These materials were carefully selected by him—of high quality and rich in medicinal power.
Beside him, Shen Qingyue idly played with her fingers while occasionally stealing glances at Chen Li, secretly anticipating the unfolding drama. Her younger brother had never been one to suffer losses. Despite his eight or nine-year-old appearance, his strikes were sharp and painfully effective. She almost felt sympathy for any Alchemist looking to cause trouble.
The Short and Stout Alchemist sneered at Chen Li's appearance and felt even more disdainful as he watched Chen Li quickly begin refining pills, extracting their essence bit by bit. Unable to contain himself, he snorted coldly and resorted to his old tricks again.
He deliberately increased the output of his spiritual fire; the fiery flames surged once more toward Chen Li's direction.
"Hmph, you arrogant little brat, let's see how you handle my power!" the Short and Stout Alchemist thought to himself, feeling quite pleased. This time, he was determined to teach Chen Li a harsh lesson and make him regret his arrogance.
Facing the oncoming Dark Flame, Chen Li remained calm and collected, not even lifting an eyebrow. He simply waved his hand gently, and an invisible wave of energy spread out, instantly engulfing the Dark Flame.
The Short and Stout Alchemist's expression changed dramatically at this sight. How could this be possible? How did this kid so easily neutralize his attack? Not only he, but the other Alchemists from the Holy Spirit Palace were also stunned. They had initially thought Chen Li was just a naive child, not worth their concern, but now it seemed they had underestimated him.
Chen Li slowly lifted his head to look at the Short and Stout Alchemist, a playful smile curling at the corners of his mouth. "Is that all you've got? You dare come out here to embarrass yourself?"
The Short and Stout Alchemist's face turned pale with anger. He couldn't help but rub his eyes and once again gathered his spiritual energy to condense flames. He must have been careless just now! Otherwise, how could he possibly lose to a mere child?
Chen Li had neutralized his attack without a hint of worry; instead, he continued to focus on refining his pills, urging the flames in his hands. The flames glowed with a brilliant golden hue, radiating intense heat—clearly a standard Golden Flame.
The Short and Stout Alchemist regained some confidence in an instant. He glared coldly at the city, shadows swirling in his eyes. "You think just because you have a mere Golden Flame, you can withstand my Dark Flame? Watch me destroy your materials!"
With that, he once again condensed the power of dark flames. The Dark Flame roiled like a roaring fire dragon as it surged toward Chen Li with ferocity.
