Ye Chen smiled.

He knew that Divine Doctor Cang Gu had changed a little.

Although it was only a little, it was already very good.

Perhaps it was what happened three days ago that made this stubborn old man change his mind.

...

Two days passed in a flash. Ye Chen arrived at the city lord’s manor and the guard in charge asked him a simple question.

When they heard that Ye Chen was an alchemist, they quickly allowed him entry.

It was no longer a secret that the demons were recruiting alchemists these days, so some alchemists would come to the manor for this reason.

Ye Chen was led by the guards to the main hall of the manor. As soon as he stepped inside, he found that there were already six alchemists waiting there.

He casually glanced around and did not pay much attention to them. He found a chair and sat down alone.

Soon, another hour passed. Ye Chen noticed a middle-aged man entering the hall.

Beside the middle-aged man were three Demon Race warriors. Although their cultivation levels were not high, they did not show the slightest bit of respect towards the city lord.

This was because he was a respectable and extraordinary alchemist!

”This time, the Demon Race is recruiting alchemists, but only six!”

The moment the middle-aged man spoke, all of the alchemists present looked at each other.

There were currently seven alchemists in the hall, which meant that one of them had to be eliminated.

The alchemists present did not speak. The fact that they were here meant that they definitely wanted to enter the Demon Territory. No one wanted to leave.

At this moment, an old man suddenly stood up. He was dressed in a sage-like manner, like an otherworldly expert.

”City Lord, I suggest that this little brother be eliminated. He’s so young, so I’m afraid his alchemy level isn’t that good.”

Apart from Ye Chen, the other alchemists present were all old men.

Apart from talent, age also gave one a certain advantage when it came to alchemy.

After all, being immersed in the art of alchemy for many years, the quality and success rate of the alchemy refining process were naturally much higher than those of the younger generation.

Ye Chen frowned. He had not expected to be targeted. He stood up and said to the city lord,” Sir, since this old man is doubting my alchemy skills, I suggest we have a competition.”

Originally, he did not want to stick his head out and simply enter the Demon Territory quietly. Then, he would then think of a way to find the heavily injured Eternal Sacred King and awaken the Demon Emperor.

It seemed that his age made him look unreliable.

However, no matter how young he was, with the so-called trashy alchemy technique of the ancient Divine Doctor, it was enough to deal with these people.

After all, Divine Doctor Cang Gu represented the pinnacle of the Divine Kingdom’s medical and alchemy skills.

What Divine Doctor Cang Gu believed to be a trashy alchemy technique was definitely a treasure for countless alchemists.

”Impudent! What level of alchemist are you? You want to compete with me?!” the old man roared at Ye Chen.

He was considered a famous alchemist in Heavenly Demon City. How could this young fellow challenge him?

The city lord did not speak as he contemplated the matter. As for the Demon Race cultivators, they looked ready to watch a good show.

They did not care who the alchemists were, as long as they could find six alchemists.

”Little brother, are you sure you want to challenge Master Yu? He’s a famous alchemist in Heavenly Demon City and has already reached the Star Aperture-grade.”

Alchemy was different from cultivation. Star Aperture-grade alchemists were extremely respected existences.

The city lord was obviously not optimistic about Ye Chen. After all, Master Yu was famous in Heavenly Demon City while Ye Chen was just a nobody.

”I’m a nameless apothecary, but I’m willing to compete with Master Yu in the Death Pill challenge!”

Ye Chen’s words immediately caused a wave of exclamations.

Was this young man crazy?

The Death Pill challenge was a gamble of life. Once the losing party lost, they would perish as well!

There was a huge difference between a nameless alchemist and a Star Aperture-grade alchemist. Where did this kid get his courage from?

Master Yu’s face darkened. A nameless alchemist wanted to compete with him in the Death Pill challenge?

This made him feel extremely humiliated and completely disregarded.

”Little brother, are you sure you don’t want to reconsider?”

The city lord looked at Ye Chen speechlessly. This young person was really reckless!

Alchemists were extremely precious, and he didn’t want the Heavenly Demon City to lose an alchemist.

”Little brother, forget it. How can a nameless alchemist be a match for a Star Aperture-grade alchemist?”

At this moment, an old man who had been sitting on a chair spoke.

He was holding a little girl in his arms. He did not want Ye Chen to lose his life in a fit of recklessness.

Ye Chen smiled kindly at the old man, and then said to the city lord,” I’m certain that I’ll compete with Master Yu in the Death Pill challenge. If I lose, I’m willing to give up my life. Of course, if Master Yu loses, it’ll be the same!”

He was confident that he had never provoked Master Yu, yet this fellow had picked on him just because he was young. On what basis?

Ye Chen had his own pride. If it was alchemy, he was confident that he would not lose to Master Yu.

The other alchemists stared at Ye Chen like he was a dead man.

Since this fellow was willing to court death, they were also willing to watch a good show. Of course, nobody thought that Ye Chen would win.

”City Lord, since this little brother is so confident, I’m willing to experience his skills!”

Master Yu’s voice was calm, but everyone could sense the anger in his voice.

This young man did not show him respect and even arrogantly wanted to fight to the death. In this case, he did not mind taking the life of a young junior.

The city lord nodded slightly. Since Ye Chen had already agreed, there was no reason for him to stop him.

He had already said what he needed to say. It was only Ye Chen’s fault for being too arrogant.

”City Lord, do you have an alchemy furnace? Lend it to me, Ye Chen said awkwardly. There was indeed an alchemy furnace in the Samsara Graveyard, but its quality was too low.

All the alchemists present had strange expressions on their faces.

This fellow did not even have an alchemy furnace. What kind of joke was this?

Was he really an alchemist?

They were deeply suspicious in their hearts. An alchemist would never leave his alchemy furnace behind. It was equivalent to their livelihood!

The corners of the city lord’s mouth twitched involuntarily.

He called a subordinate over to get an alchemy furnace. Soon, the subordinate brought back an alchemy furnace. The quality was not low, but it was not high either.

Master Yu was full of confidence. He said to Ye Chen, ”You’re a junior, so I won’t bully you. Let’s refine the Seven Revolutions Dragon Tiger Pill!”

When Master Yu finished speaking, the alchemists present frowned.

The Seven Revolutions Dragon Tiger Pill was a healing pill that could allow Star Aperture realm experts to instantly recover from their injuries without any side effects.

Although the Seven Revolutions Dragon Tiger Pill was quite common, it was extremely difficult to refine. Only a Creation-grade alchemist would be able to successfully refine it most of the time.

Master Yu was a Star Aperture-grade alchemist refining was naturally a piece of cake. However, if Ye Chen were to refine it, there was a huge risk of the furnace exploding.

He said that he would not bully Ye Chen, but this was a blatant death sentence for Ye Chen!
