An Ye stepped forward, chest out, radiating arrogance.
It was a full-blown assault, immediately overwhelming the elder with triangular eyes.
The elder with triangular eyes suddenly felt something lodge in his throat, rendering him speechless.
This was because An Ye was a Grandmaster.
His own realm was only late Huajing, and his high ranking in Medicine King Valley was due to his decent alchemy skills.
"You..."
The elder with triangular eyes was put in a difficult position.
He had witnessed the strength of a Grandmaster and knew he was no match.
With no other option, he had to retreat.
Seeing that the elder with triangular eyes had become much more subdued, Chen Fan thought to himself, it really did take An Ye to put them in their place.
The other elders watched, unsure whether to laugh or cry.
This was the way of the martial arts world; as long as you were strong, you earned respect, and others wouldn't dare to gossip.
"Old Man Ji really got put in his place this time!"
"Haha, seeing that old man flustered is truly a delightful sight!"
"Tsk tsk, keep it down!"
"Hahaha, it's fine, it's fine, we all know each other's character, don't we?"
Old Man Ji naturally heard the elders' murmurs.
His face immediately darkened, and he shot a fierce glare at the multitude of elders... Most of the elders looked around, avoiding Old Man Ji's gaze.
Ji Lingyun let out a cold snort, "The method for refining the Gathering Qi Pill has long been lost, so I don't believe what this brat says! Valley Master, I believe they are not trustworthy!"
An Ye immediately retorted, "Old man, just because you haven't encountered something, you declare it doesn't exist? How shameless can you be?"
"You're all grown up, yet you speak such words. Don't you feel ashamed?"
"You..." Ji Lingyun was angered again. "Young lady, didn't your elders teach you to respect your seniors?"
An Ye snorted coldly, "No!"
Damn it...
Ji Lingyun stopped arguing with An Ye and cupped his hands towards Ouyang Hui, "Valley Master, I believe what they say is untrustworthy!"
Ouyang Hui pondered, neither immediately believing nor denying.
His gaze fell upon Chen Fan.
Chen Fan spoke up at this moment, "What if I truly refine the Gathering Qi Pill?"
Ji Lingyun immediately scoffed, "If you truly refine it, I'll call you Grandpa. How about that?"
"But if you can't refine it, you'll have to take three of my moves without resistance!"
An Ye listened and muttered, "So shameless!"
Ji Lingyun, with a pained expression, seemed determined to oppose Chen Fan to the end.
Chen Fan said with a half-smile, "Alright... then today, I will gladly acknowledge a great-grandson!"
Ji Lingyun narrowed his eyes. "Youngster who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth, I'll show you the harshness of this world later!"
In his opinion, the Gathering Qi Pill had long been lost, a nonexistent item.
Therefore, his conviction remained firm.
Interesting, very interesting...
More than ten elders remained silent, all adopting a spectator's stance.
Having lived in these mountains for many years, their days were often monotonous. Events as amusing as today were truly rare. Each of them wanted to see who would win this wager.
Chen Fan said no more, listed the items he needed, and began refining.
He was refining the Minor Gathering Qi Pill, and most of the required herbs were around twenty years old.
Ji Lingyun began again at this moment, muttering, "The legendary Gathering Qi Pill refined with such ordinary materials? Are you joking?"
"I think you should just give up!"
