C29 The People of Wan Family of the Beiyan Kingdom

"I voluntarily give up my place as the winner and I wish that Lin Chuan is rewarded as the winner."

As soon as he said those words, everyone present was shocked. Because that voice belonged to no one else other than Wan Qianqiu, who had participated in the pill refinement competition.

There was a hint of indedifference in Wan Qianqiu's eyes. He knew that he had lost to Lin Chuan. Moreso, he had lost fair and square. He never stood a chance from the beginning and even now.

He had admitted defeat simply because, he was not as skilled as Lin Chuan, so he wanted to take full responsibility. Moreover, he would never take the victory under such degrading conditions.

However, many people weren't shocked because Wan Qianqiu had rejected the final result. Rather, they were surprised that he dared to oppose the Second Elder.

After he finished speaking, it was as if he had totally disregarded the Second Elder. When Yue Feng heard his words, his expression became even uglier, and a trace of killing intent flashed through his eyes as he looked at Wan Qianqiu.

In order to prevent Lin Chuan from feeling satisfied with himself, he had begrudgingly handed over the final victory to this brat. But, who would have thought that Wan Qianqiu would dare to refuse his kindness and return the victory to Lin Chuan? Was he trying to embarrass him?

"Second Elder, since Wan Qianqiu has already said that he doesn't want the victory, what then do you intend to do next?'

Gu Feng was discreetly amused in his heart, but on the surface, he pretended to be serious. He wanted to see what Second Elder would come up with this time.

If he acted too unreasonably, it would undoubtedly be a heavy blow to his reputation. However, Gu Feng had underestimated the Second Elder because, he was determined not to let Lin Chuan win, and no one could stop him?

"I said, you're the final winner. Even if you don't want it, you will still take the title!"

When he said this, Yue Feng's entire body suddenly exploded with an extremely powerful aura, that suppressed Wan Qianqiu until he was no longer able to breath.

Then, what everyone thought was that Wan Qianqiu would be left with no choice but to accept the pill refinement competition title and then Lin Chuan would leave disappointedly. Wan Qianqiu suddenly took out a token from his waist. When this token appeared, Yue Feng's pupils shrank in shock.

"Look carefully, do you recognize this token?" Wan Qianqiu coldly shouted. He actually wasn't afraid of Yue Feng

The token in his hand had a strange looking 'wan' character engraved on it. This 'wan' character seemed to have been carved into the token using some special technique. The sect disciples did not recognize what was special about this token, but a few inner sect elders revealed the same expression as Yue Feng when they saw it.

"Wan Family! Wan Family of the Beiyan Kingdom?" Yue Feng never expected Wan Qianqiu to have such a background.

The Beiyan Kingdom was a huge kingdom to the north of the territory of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect. Just like the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, it was also a powerful force. As for the Wan Family, they were an alchemy family in the Beiyan Kingdom. They had a distinguished status in the Beiyan Kingdom, such that even their king had great regards for the Wan Family.

Anyone who possessed the Wan Family Token, most definitely would be someone of great status in the family. So, Wan Qianqiu was actually a member of the Wan Family, and he had carefully kept it a secret.

Actually, Wan Qianqiu had joined the Ten Thousand Beast Sect only to gain experience. Ever since he was a child, his talent in alchemy was inferior to that of other members of his family. Moreover, he was born through the direct bloodline of the family, and had always been criticized by many people. He had thought that he would be able to use this opportunity to gain experience and improve his talent in alchemy. Therefore, he came to the Ten Thousand Beast Sect and hid his identity. As a disciple, he had been wanting to learn alchemy from the Fourth Elder.

However, who would have thought that he would run into Lin Chuan? Lin Chuan had dashed all his hopes to the rock, and caused him to lose himself. However, Wan Qianqiu was a man of integrity. He was a member of a great family, so he couldn't accept victory through someone's help.

He wasn't afraid of Yue Feng, and this was simply because he was a member of the Wan Family. No matter how powerful Yue Feng was, he could only flex his muscles in the Ten Thousand Beast Sect. He had no power in the Beiyan Kingdom at all.

"Alright then! It's just a lousy alchemy competition trophy, I'll let you have it!"

The Second Elder grinned hideously. Since Wan Qianqiu was a member of the Wan family, he definitely couldn't cause him any harm. He could only let the matter rest, but that didn't mean that he would let go of his intentions of killing Lin Chuan. He still had more opportunities to kill Lin Chuan before he could get the chance to escape the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

After the Second Elder left, the disciples of the sect gradually dispersed. Lin Chuan was the final winner in the competition, and received the Nine Clarity Pill, and a large collection of many other medicinal ingredients as a reward.

"Thank you for helping me today." When Lin Chuan saw that Wan Qianqiu was yet to leave, he considered for a moment and then walked up to him and sincerely thanked him.

If it wasn't for Wan Qianqiu insistence to give up the first place position, with the Second Elder's personality, he wouldn't have been able to receive the prize for today's competition.

"There's no need to thank me. I only did it for myself. I admit that your alchemy skills are better than mine, but don't slack. Although my ability isn't as good as yours yet, I will not stop trying. As of today, I have decided to go back to the Beiyan Kingdom. I'll be expecting you to come and challenge me again in the future! By then, I'm certain you'll loose against me!"

Qianqiu didn't even look at Lin Chuan's face when he said those words, he acted indifferently towards Lin Chuan. When he finished talking, he left. Lin Chuan observed him as he walked away and a soft smile appeared on his face.

Back then, when he and Wan Qianqiu had taken the Fourth Elder as their master, the Fourth Elder had intended to take the both of them as his disciples. However, back then, Wan Qianqiu had been so stubborn that he had used his pride as an excuse to reject the Fourth Elder.

On the path of cultivation, the most important thing was for one to discover one's true nature. Wan Qianqiu had discovered who he really was. Perhaps, his egocentrism was another talent that the heavens had given him to make up for his lack of skills.

Lin Chuan believed that Wan Qianqiu was destined for greatness and had a bright future. He also held the incidence of today close to his heart. If he had the chance in the future, he would look for Wan Qianqiu so that they would match wits with each other in alchemy techniques.2

The pill refinement competition had finally come to an end, and Lin Chuan felt very satisfied after obtaining the Nine Clarities Pill. Hos next step was to go into seclusion for a period of time to upgrade his strength to the Spirit Attraction realm.

With the Nine Clarities Pill, Lin Chuan was certain he'd succeed. As soon as he returned to his courtyard, Lin Chuan shut the door tightly and began to cultivate at once.

The moment he sat cross-legged in his house, the first thing he took out was not the Nine Clarity Pill. It was the Hundred Transformations Golden Pill that he had worked so hard to refine that day.

The Hundred Transformations Golden Pill was refined by him, so it was naturally his to keep as well, and the Pill gave Lin Chuan a pleasant felling now.

"Mozzie, Little Centipede, both of you come out."

When Lin Chuan summoned them, the Tricolor Dao Mosquito and the Earth Core Centipede King both came out from his body. These two demon beasts were both his indwelling demon beasts, and the spiritual auras they both emitted had gradually become somewhat similar.

The Tricolor Dao Mosquito had surprisingly grown to half the size of an arm, and its spirit energy had also become very strong. Lin Chuan knew that the Tricolor Dao Mosquito was also about to upgrade. However, since it was his first demon beast. He assumed that it would not be able to upgrade, until he broke through to the Spirit Attraction realm. Only then would the Tricolor Dao Mosquito be able to break through as well.
