Tuoba Bo is only thirty-five years old. To beco a Fourth Grade Alchemist at his age, he truly counts as a genius among alchemists, one in ten thousand!
But it's obvious that the more he is the kind of alchemist prodigy who grew up with a silver spoon and is highly regarded, the harder it is for him to bear the psychological imbalance of soone his age being better and more outstanding than him!
Because if soone is stronger than him, it ans the halo and glory above his head will completely dissipate! The attention and weight he receives will also decrease significantly.
Others will no longer flatter and praise him tirelessly, like they used to! For geniuses like them, who are accustod to being 'above others and number one among their peers,' this is naturally hard to accept.
Just like now…
"Are you saying I'm making a fuss over nothing?"
Tuoba Bo's expression suddenly turned a bit cold upon hearing this. Looking at Chen Fei, he raised his head and said with a sarcastic look, "It seems you really don't know who I am! Very well, then I'll tell you plainly and seriously now…"
He pointed directly to his chest, full of pride.
"I am Tuoba Bo, from the famous pill family, the Tuoba Family! In the territory governed by Ghost Wolf City, if our Tuoba Family's alchemy technique claims second, no other family dares to claim first!"
"And I, Tuoba Bo, successfully refined a Fourth Grade Low Grade Pill two years ago and beca a Fourth Grade Low Grade Alchemist! Acknowledged as one of the two most talented alchemists of the younger generation in our family. Do you know what this ans?"
"Even a genius alchemist like , Tuoba Bo, cannot refine a Six-Pattern Cloud Vein Pill. Do you think soone like you, an unknown person, has the right to boast about being able to refine it? Who would believe that!?"
At this point, Tuoba Bo's smile turned into a deep smirk and ridicule. He looked at Chen Fei with extre disdain, saying, "Kid, let tell you, sotis taking shortcuts can indeed save ti! But it can also lead you to dig your own grave with foolish actions, do you get my aning?"
Tuoba Bo's gaze was fierce, his words carrying a direct threat.
Upon hearing this, Muf Leiyun fell into silence, his gaze flickering as he looked at Chen Fei.
Although Tuoba Bo's actions at this mont seed deceptive and selfish, it cannot be denied that his words were not entirely without rit.
A top-quality precious pill like the Six-Pattern Cloud Vein Pill is not sothing to be taken lightly. Many older generation alchemy experts cannot refine it, admitting defeat! Chen Fei, being so young, seemingly even younger than Tuoba Bo, how could he possibly refine it?
While Tuoba Bo's character may be lacking, he is from a renowned family and does not have an undeserved reputation in alchemy. Otherwise, why would the Floating Immortal Pavilion pay him any attention?
So, is it possible that they, their intelligence departnt, really got it wrong this ti and were deceived?
Muf Leiyun was hesitant and unsure.
"Oh, really? Well then, I have sothing to tell you too. Confidence is a good thing, but being overly confident can make you seem quite foolish. In this world, there will always be people who are unreachable and incomparable to you."
Chen Fei's expression turned indifferent. Looking at the other person, he spoke calmly: "That's why one should remain more low-profile. Otherwise, do you really think everyone in the world is like you, a frog in a well, with such limited capability?"
With that, Chen Fei couldn't help but shake his head. He stood up, looking at the long-silent Muf Leiyun, and said plainly: "Mr. Mu, thank you for the invitation, but I think I should take my leave now. Farewell."
With that said, he made a move to turn and leave. Such scenes, such scripts, had really bored him.
Muf Leiyun's expression stiffened, looking a bit awkward.
"Stop! Who said you could leave?" Tuoba Bo's voice was icy as he stopped Chen Fei, who was about to turn away. His gaze was filled with a hint of ferocity and killing intent.
This kid dared to mock and lecture him! Who does he think he is!?
Hmph, it's simply courting death…
"Not leaving? So, what else do you want to say? Haven't said enough?" Chen Fei turned back, flicking his ear in boredom and looking at Tuoba Bo with sheer disdain, as if he was nothing in his eyes.
Of course, that was indeed the case. For soone like that, a Thirty-five-year-old Fourth Grade Low Grade Alchemist, while comndable in Ghost Wolf City, it was insignificant to Chen Fei.
"With your attitude, do you think I'm unqualified to teach you a lesson?" Tuoba Bo stared at him with a sinister gaze, his voice filled with killing intent.
"Otherwise?" Chen Fei tilted his head, retorting: "Do you think your strength is exceptional, or your alchemy technique is outstanding? Sorry, but as I see it, they're just so-so…"
Hearing this, Muf Leiyun was stunned. Chen Fei's words were incredibly audacious. If it was false, it would be fine, but if it's true…
Then, it would be extraordinary…
What astounding power would one need to so disdainfully dismiss the renowned genius Tuoba Ye of Ghost Wolf City?
His mind was in a daze, unsure, but such a thought seed to reach an obvious conclusion, right?
Where did Chen Fei get such confidence? Does he truly possess such capability!?
"Just so-so? Just so-so!? Fine, very well! Hahaha…" Tuoba Bo, who was previously irate, suddenly burst into laughter. Looking at Chen Fei, his face showed a tinge of contempt.
"Since you won't realize your mistake till you see the coffin, then I, Tuoba Bo, will show you whether a genius alchemist like has the qualifications to teach a fraud like you a lesson!"
With that, Tuoba Bo raised his hand, and a yellowish fla, like a spiritual snake, appeared in his hand. Imdiately, everyone felt a rush of heat, fierce and overwhelming.
Muf Leiyun's expression remained unchanged, evidently familiar with this. This fla was Tuoba Bo's strongest reliance and what the Floating Immortal Pavilion valued most in potential and talent.
Looking at the fla, Chen Fei's expression froze slightly, and then he smiled unexpectedly. He remarked, observing the proud Tuoba Bo: "So it's a Heavenly and Earthly Exotic Fla. If I'm not mistaken, this should be the Earth Spirit Fla of the Snake Heart?"
"Hiss! M...Master, are you saying this is... the legendary Heavenly and Earthly Exotic Fla?" Upon hearing this, Cang Kun inhaled sharply and couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
Heavenly and Earthly Exotic Flas are extrely famous and precious in the Cultivation World!
This is because it is a terrifying form of natural energy, with unfathomable power. If one can harness it, it becos a highly envied blessing! Its value cannot be asured by Spirit Stones. Priceless beyond comparison.
That's why Cang Kun was so surprised. Because it was a legendary artifact in his mind, and now, unbelievably, it was appearing right in front of him...
Logically speaking, Cang Kun's extrely startled and shaken expression should have swelled Tuoba Bo's sense of pride!
However, reality was sowhat different.
Upon hearing Chen Fei's words, both Tuoba Bo and Muf Leiyun showed expressions of shock and amazent, as if they had seen a ghost.
"Y…You, you, you actually know this Heavenly and Earthly Exotic Fla!" Tuoba Bo's eyes widened as he stared at Chen Fei, his face twisted in disbelief.
Because everyone in Ghost Wolf City knew about this Heavenly and Earthly Exotic Fla, yet no one could definitively state its origins.
Even a powerful cross-city force like the Floating Immortal Pavilion still didn't know! But now...
But now Chen Fei had stated it so seriously, how could he not be shocked?
"Chief Chen, do you really recognize Young Master Tuoba's Heavenly and Earthly Exotic Fla?" Muf Leiyun also stamred slightly at this mont, looking at Chen Fei with sowhat strange eyes.
"Is that so strange?" Chen Fei curled his lip and said flatly, "Heavenly and Earthly Exotic Flas are divided into three tiers. This Earth Spirit Fla of the Snake Heart ranks in the mid-to-low end..."
"How dare you! Your lies are getting more outrageous. Who do you think you are to know what neither the Tuoba Family nor the whole Ghost Wolf City knows?" Tuoba Bo abruptly interrupted Chen Fei, speaking coldly.
His emotions were sowhat agitated. Firstly, because the term 'mid-to-low end' was very jarring to his ears.
Furthermore, how could he believe that such a 'fraud' could be more knowledgeable than everyone in Ghost Wolf City, knowing what this accidentally found Heavenly and Earthly Exotic Fla was?
That was absolutely impossible!
"I'm talking nonsense? Then let ask you, wasn't this Heavenly and Earthly Exotic Fla found in a buried cave more than seven thousand ters deep? At that ti, the Earth Spirit Fla of the Snake Heart should have manifested as a plant, with the wall behind it being black, with stripes like these..."
Chen Fei curled his lip, calmly speaking, as if picking random thoughts.
The more he spoke, the paler Tuoba Bo's face grew, because what Chen Fei described was exactly as he had experienced...
"S...Shut up! How do you know!?" Tuoba Bo's forehead broke into a sweat, hurriedly interrupting Chen Fei.
"You call yourself an Alchemist and don't even know such common knowledge?" Chen Fei curled his lip again.
Imdiately, Tuoba Bo's face flushed! Speechless.
His expression extrely unnatural. Very unsightly.
"Humph!"
But then, he forcibly suppressed his panic and embarrassnt, raised his head, and looked coldly and arrogantly at Chen Fei saying, "Since you know the Heavenly and Earthly Exotic Flas so well, it's clear you don't need to explain the gap between us!"
"Do you still dare believe that I, Tuoba Bo, am unworthy of teaching a fraud like you a lesson!?"
"Fraud?" Chen Fei smacked his lips, his eyes narrowing slightly. After a mont, his expression beca sowhat ironic...
"I rember I already warned you just now?" Then he spoke with a wry smile.
"Warn ? Who do you think you are, to even dare?" Tuoba Bo's face darkened, his voice cold.
"I'm unworthy?" Chen Fei shook his head helplessly, looking at the other coldly, "I already said being humble is good for people... But fine, if you insist on going against , I'll oblige you."
"You're called Tuoba Bo, right? Then, may I ask, respected Tuoba Alchemist genius, without using the Earth Spirit Fla of the Snake Heart, what's the highest grade of pill you can refine?"
Chen Fei's face was full of smiles, but in Tuoba Bo's eyes, that smile appeared like the most terrifying demon!
Tuoba Bo's face changed drastically upon hearing this! His pupils shrank to a pinpoint, and his originally pale face imdiately turned completely white. Pale as paper.
Then, threads of fear wound around his heart! Rooting deeply, like the tendrils of a demon...
"Chief Chen, what do you an by this? Can you explain?" Muf Leiyun interjected at this mont. His face was solemn and perplexed.
He seed to have picked up on sothing from Chen Fei's words.
Tuoba Bo relied on the Earth Spirit Fla of the Snake Heart to beco a Fourth Grade Low Grade Alchemist?
So without this Heavenly and Earthly Exotic Fla, what level of alchemist is he?
This is very important! It represents whether their Floating Immortal Pavilion was deceived.
