Ximang had not expected Jing Yan to actually dare to challenge him. So, for a moment, he was somewhat dazed.
It must be said that Ximang, a Seventh-level Alchemist, had quite a reputation throughout Pill Country. Ever since he had become a Seventh-level Alchemist, many people had fawned over and complimented him, not only people from Youhai Commerce but also those outside who showed him great respect. And now, a young alchemist in his twenties dared to challenge him in alchemy!
Ximang furrowed his brow.
There was a cold smirk at the corner of his mouth, tinged with disdain.
"Kid, I, Ximang, am not someone you can just challenge whenever you wish. However, I can give you an opportunity. I have a disciple named Qiu Fang who is merely a Fifth-level Alchemist, so how about this, you can try competing with him in alchemy." Ximang's gaze shifted away from Jing Yan.
He was putting on airs.
