Chapter 61: Chapter 61 The Bet 1
"Masters, I must take my leave."
Standing up, Bun Pitar cupped his hands toward the two men before turning and walking out the door without looking back.
"Fool."
After a long while, Pan Kan slowly spat out a word, a cold smile appearing on his face. "After this matter is over, the Bun family's assets will definitely be reduced by half. At that time, the ranks of third rate families will have another member."
"A wise bird chooses a good tree to perch on. Bun Pitar, you are foolish."
Sun Mek shook his head while laughing, seemingly pitying the Bun family. He felt as if he could already see the Bun family's decline.
In front of a wide road stood a grand mansion, towering majestically. The large characters "Blaze Family" on the plaque proclaimed the mansion's status.
Although the family living in the mansion isn't doing well at the moment, it doesn't stop passersby from casting respectful glances. This is because a Spirit Lord level expert is guarding the mansion!
At this time, a large crowd had gathered in front of the mansion's usually quiet entrance, whispering among themselves.
"I heard the Blaze family's master's son is an alchemist. Is that true?"
"I don't know, but if he's daring enough to make pills in public, it should be true."
"Heh, some people actually believe that? I think it's just a stalling tactic. The Blaze family master is probably scrambling to raise funds right now. Otherwise, how could the Blaze family have lasted this long?"
The crowd of spirit practitioners buzzed with excitement, some even getting into heated arguments and fighting, only to be unceremoniously thrown out by the Blaze family's enforcement team.
"Master Ahmad Kamal!"
At this moment, an elderly man in an alchemist's robe emerged from the Blaze family gate, causing a wave of exclamations.
"Master Park Lily is here too!"
To ordinary spirit practitioners, alchemists are revered figures, rarely seen. But today, two had appeared at once!
Instantly, the murmurs turned into a clamor.
"Grandfather, why hasn't that brat Blaze Regret come out yet? Could he have run away?"
Kartis Man, lying on his Thunder Beast, scanned the surroundings with a sinister gaze. He had gotten out of bed just to see Blaze Regret's downfall. A mere member of a minor family daring to call himself an alchemist was utterly laughable!
"Quiet, the Blaze family master is here."
A commanding figure appeared, and the chatter in the crowd immediately dissipated.
"Blaze Ash, where's your son?" Kartis Kai asked, a faint smile playing on his lips as he looked at Blaze Ash standing at the entrance.
"Why are you looking for me? Do you know me that well?"
Just as Kartis Kai finished speaking, Blaze Regret emerged with a broad smile on his face. He glanced at Kartis Man, who was sitting on the Thunder Beast, and his smile grew even wider.
"What are you smiling at? Let's see if you can still smile once you're exposed!" Kartis Man sneered.
Blaze Regret shrugged indifferently and walked slowly to the center of the crowd. The surrounding spirit practitioners immediately retreated a few steps, leaving a spacious area in the middle.
He raised his head slightly, his eyes sweeping slowly around the area. Blaze Regret's gaze fixed on a distant pavilion, where three exceptionally powerful auras were present.
"It's really lively. The identity of an alchemist is indeed terrifying. Just a hint of news has gathered half of the Spirit Lord experts in Veloria City," Blaze Regret thought to himself.
"Blaze Regret, my young friend, here are the alchemist furnace and the herbs prepared for you."
Seeing Blaze Regret appear, Park Lily quickly retrieved the items from his Void Realms stone and handed them to Blaze Regret.
"Am I seeing this right? Master Park Lily is personally handing something to Blaze Regret!"
This scene caused a spirit practitioner to exclaim in surprise, while the others had a glint in their eyes, realizing that today's event was indeed extraordinary.
"Getting more and more disgraceful."
Ahmad Kamal, however, curled his lip disdainfully. For a dignified first grade alchemist to be so courteous to a junior was truly beneath him!
"Master Ahmad Kamal, how about we make a bet?" Blaze Regret gently caressed the alchemist furnace given to him by Park Lily, smiling as he looked at Ahmad Kamal.
"What are we betting on?" Ahmad Kamal frowned, suppressing his irritation, and asked.
"I heard you have a recipe for the Qi Returning Pill. If I win, you'll give that recipe to me. How about it?"
"And if you lose?" Ahmad Kamal sneered.
"I'll give you the recipes for the Earth Flame Pill and the Wood Separation Pill," Blaze Regret said, lightly tapping his Void Realms stone. Two pill recipes appeared in his hand, which he waved gently.
"Are you serious?" A glint of greed flashed in Ahmad Kamal's eyes as he smirked sinisterly. "Then it's a deal!"
Blaze Regret chuckled lightly, his eyes lowering slightly as his expression grew more serious.
Apart from the time he refined the Void Soul Pill, he had always relied on Master Mo's simulated alchemy furnace, which consumed very little spiritual and mental energy. This time, however, he would have to rely on his own strength to refine one of the most difficult first grade pills.
"Let's do this!"
Taking a deep breath, Blaze Regret lightly tapped the alchemy furnace. A crimson flame slowly spread at the bottom of the furnace, and the surrounding spirit practitioners all had a look of surprise in their eyes.
This Blaze Regret actually knows how to refine pills?
"Pill fire, how is that possible?"
Kartis Man's throat felt choked, but his gaze at Blaze Regret was filled with intense jealousy and resentment. Even if Blaze Regret was truly an alchemist, Kartis Man refused to believe he could successfully refine the Purple Fire Pill!
"This temperature..."
Beside him, Ahmad Kamal's face was also unusually stiff. He couldn't believe that a sixteen year old boy was actually an alchemist!
As an alchemist himself, Ahmad Kamal naturally understood how difficult this field was. Otherwise, there wouldn't be just a handful of alchemists in the entire Veloria City!
"Interesting."
On the pavilion, Met Intan and Sky Rodzi both nodded, their eyes gleaming with interest. Meanwhile, Snow Fazlin's face was extremely gloomy, and the teacup in his hand had already cracked, with water dripping to the ground unnoticed.
