Recently, on the Tianci Continent, a force has risen like a comet, entering the ranks of first-class powers in just three months.
No one knows the origin of the Mingxuan Tower, nor who its founder is.
However, one thing has made Mingxuan Tower famous: a month ago, Yan Wuji, the great elder of Lingxiao Mountain, was severely injured and almost lost his life.
Although Lingxiao Mountain immediately blocked the news, the major powers of the Tianci Continent still caught wind of it.
It is said that the person who injured Yan Wuji was none other than the master of Mingxuan Tower – Ming Yuan.
Yet, who this Ming Yuan is, where he comes from, what he looks like, and why he injured Yan Wuji, are all unknown.
All that is known is that after Yan Wuji was injured, Lingxiao Mountain dispatched the remaining eight elders to settle the score with Mingxuan Tower, but these eight elders ended up with one dead and seven injured.
The sect leader of Lingxiao Mountain, the Lingxiao Divine King, was furious and personally went to Mingxuan Tower to battle the master of Mingxuan Tower, Ming Yuan.
The outcome is unknown, but it is rumored that both were not lightly injured.
Since then, Lingxiao Mountain has never sent anyone to trouble Mingxuan Tower again.
And Mingxuan Tower and its master, Ming Yuan, became famous, and the Mingxuan Token became known to all the major powers.
Now, with the Mingxuan Token appearing here, does it not mean that someone from Mingxuan Tower is also present?
"I am Ming Yuan, and I bet that Miss Zi can successfully complete this hidden mission. Otherwise, Mingxuan Tower will be merged into the Alchemist Guild." A cold voice echoed through the venue.
And with this voice, Ye Lingyuan, dressed in black robes, also arrived before Feng Ruyi.
Nian Youyu and Feng Mo looked at the seats beside them that had become empty, then at Ming Yuan standing before Feng Ruyi, their hearts almost stopped.
"Old Feng, did I see that right? He is that Ming Yuan? The Ming Yuan who can injure a Divine King?" Nian Youyu rubbed his eyes repeatedly, unable to believe it.
Feng Mo said with a wry smile, "Perhaps, probably, maybe?"
He had never imagined that the fiancé whom the girl Zi spoke of would be Ming Yuan, the master of Mingxuan Tower, who was currently so renowned.
Nian Youyu's eyes widened, "My goodness! Girl Zi is also quite reserved, not mentioning such a big matter."
Feng Mo again smiled wryly, "I'm afraid Girl Zi doesn't even know his identity!"
Nian Youyu exclaimed, "How could that be?"
"Why wouldn't it be?"
Feng Mo looked at Ye Lingyuan, who was now standing before Feng Ruyi, as if answering Nian Youyu's question, and yet as if murmuring to himself.
It must be said that Feng Mo was indeed telling the truth.
Zi Lingling not only did not know Ye Lingyuan's identity, but she also knew nothing about Mingxuan Tower and Ming Yuan.
Otherwise, just the name Ming Yuan would have allowed her to connect it to Ye Lingyuan.
The fault lay with Lingxiao Mountain for blocking the news so tightly, and the major powers were unwilling to reveal it, so there were hardly any rumors in circulation.
Facing Ye Lingyuan, Feng Ruyi was clearly very nervous.
This was a prominent figure who could battle a Divine King and even injure one!
Because of his nervousness, Feng Ruyi remained silent for a long time.
Ye Lingyuan frowned and said, "What? Don't you dare to bet? Does my Mingxuan Tower not enter the discerning eye of the Grand Guild Master?"
Feng Ruyi startled, and finally regained his composure, saying, "Master Ming Yuan, you jest! Mingxuan Tower is renowned, I would not dare to underestimate it!"
"Oh?"
Ye Lingyuan said lightly, "Then does the Grand Guild Master mean... to bet?"
Feng Ruyi gritted his teeth and said, "Bet!"
His odds of winning were not small, so why wouldn't he bet?
Because all three of them were betting on Zi Lingling successfully completing the hidden mission, not on whether the detoxification pill could detoxify.
Therefore, being able to detoxify and being able to complete the hidden mission were two different matters.
For the former, Zi Lingling only needed to feed the detoxification pill to the dancing woman to see the result.
But the latter was even more difficult, not only having time constraints but also needing to detoxify everyone.
And now, only an hour remained, but the number of people needing detoxification had already reached ninety percent.
Therefore, even if Zi Lingling's detoxification pill could detoxify, the quantity of pills could not be refined within an hour.
Hence, Feng Ruyi was ninety-nine-point-nine percent sure that he would not lose.
"Guild Master, absolutely not!" Elder Nangong stopped him again.
For some reason, he always felt that things were not that simple.
"What is there not to be?" Feng Ruyi said with some displeasure.
"Guild Master, since it's a bet, there's winning and losing. What if you lose?" Elder Nangong said anxiously.
"Lose?"
Feng Ruyi laughed, "I have a ninety-nine-point-nine percent chance of winning!"
"This..."
Elder Nangong tried to persuade him further but was interrupted by Feng Ruyi's displeasure, "My mind is made up, there's no need to say more!"
Then, he said to Ye Lingyuan, "Master Ming Yuan, if I lose, what price will I have to pay?"
Ye Lingyuan smiled, "Don't worry, I am interested in the Alchemist Guild. So if you die, just leave the position of the Grand Guild Master!"
"Good! I agree!" Feng Ruyi said with a smile.
"Very good!"
Ye Lingyuan uttered a sentence and returned to his seat.
"Since everyone is interested, I'll join in the fun!"
A young man wearing a mask and reeking of alcohol pushed through the crowd and came before Feng Ruyi.
This young man was none other than Shen Liuxing, who had been drinking in the restaurant opposite earlier.
Shen Liuxing did not give Feng Ruyi a chance to speak, directly took out his personal token and placed it on the table, saying, "I also bet that Sister Zi... *hic*, Miss Zi can successfully complete this hidden mission. If I lose, for the next ten years, Linxian Wine House will offer consignment services for all pills from the Alchemist Guild for free, including free auctions!"
"But if you lose, all alchemists of the Alchemist Guild will have to refine pills for me for free for ten days, of course, I will provide the medicinal ingredients!"
In the Tianci Continent, Linxian Wine House and Linxian Auction House were also very famous.
Therefore, Shen Liuxing was not afraid that Feng Ruyi would refuse.
As for why he needed so many pills, that was unknown.
"Good!"
Feng Ruyi thought for a moment and nodded.
It was the same reason as before: his odds of winning were as high as ninety-nine-point-nine percent, so why wouldn't he bet? Su Dan Novel Network
Shen Liuxing nodded upon hearing this and turned to leave.
Of course, as he left, he glanced smilingly at Ye Lingyuan, with a hint of provocation.
Ye Lingyuan frowned.
He always felt that this man was very familiar, but he couldn't connect him with Shen Liuxing.
And before Shen Liuxing had gone far, Xuanyuan Xun and Su Lie also walked over.
