"What do you mean?" Bai Yue asked quickly.
Hong Lunhai laughed and said, "Because this bet, regardless of winning or losing, will benefit the Minghui faction!"
Bai Yue still didn't understand, her face full of confusion.
"That's not right. If Li Xiuzhen loses, she and her seven or eight junior sisters will all have to marry their cousins as wives or concubines. How can that be considered beneficial to the Minghui Sect?"
You don't understand.
Hong Lunhai shook his head.
Bai Yue got angry and grabbed the Star Furnace: "Explain yourself quickly, or I'll use your Star Furnace as a spittoon!"
"No, no, no, I'll tell you, I was just about to."
Hong Lunhai smiled wryly and said, "It's very simple. If they lose to Mr. Ye, all nine of them will have to marry Ye Feng as wives or concubines. Since they've become husband and wife, and Ye Feng has taken nine disciples of the Minghui Sect at once, then Ye Feng will naturally be tied to the Minghui Sect. If the Minghui Sect encounters any trouble in the future, do you think Ye Feng will stand idly by?"
“If Li Xiuzhen wins and Mr. Ye loses to them, then there’s nothing more to say. Mr. Ye will become their slave, and they will naturally hold onto him tightly.”
"That's why I said that Li Xiuzhen is shrewd and calculating. She must have already seen through Mr. Ye's hidden strength, which is why she proposed this bet! Her goal is to snatch Mr. Ye away from the Sun Sect and recruit him to the Minghui Sect!"
After listening to Hong Lunhai's words, Bai Yue finally understood.
If Hong Lunhai could see these things, Ye Feng certainly could too.
So at this moment, Ye Feng revealed a meaningful smile.
However, the eight female disciples of the Minghui Sect failed to notice, and being arrogant and looking down on Ye Feng, they all became anxious.
"Senior sister, how could you make such a bet!"
"Yes, that's absolutely unacceptable!"
"Senior sister, you should think this through!"
Li Xiuzhen turned her head and looked coldly at her eight junior sisters, saying without any politeness, "Think twice about what? What's there to think twice about?"
"You've been at the Sun Sect these past few days, haven't you heard a single thing? You've really disappointed me!"
All eight female disciples lowered their heads, none of them daring to utter a sound.
Li Xiuzhen continued, "This Master Feng is the one who defeated Li Huilong, the eldest disciple of the Sun Sect Master. He is a peak Transcendent Realm martial artist and also possesses a magic weapon!"
"If he ranks higher than me in tomorrow's competition and his alchemy skills are stronger than mine, then what's wrong with you marrying him as his wife or concubine? Do you think he's not good enough for you, and that marrying Master Feng would be a disservice to you?"
"Idiots! Your brains are all filled with water!"
Li Xiuzhen's words made the eight female disciples of the Minghui Sect blush with embarrassment.
Li Xiuzhen turned to look at Ye Feng and said, "I've already put forward the bet. What's the answer?"
Ye Feng laughed and said, "Master Li, your bet is very tempting, but unfortunately I am not that kind of person. Please forgive me for refusing."
"You actually refused?" Li Xiuzhen looked incredulous.
Li Xiuzhen deliberately proposed this bet to lure Ye Feng.
Any other man would have agreed immediately, since winning would mean having nine beautiful women by his side, including nine female alchemists!
"I already have a family, how can I be involved with other women? So let's just forget about it," Ye Feng said, shaking his head.
Li Xiuzhen knew that Ye Feng had seen through her thoughts, so she didn't press the matter. Instead, she said, "Alright, I'll change the bet. If you win, the nine of us will work for you, doing whatever you ask, for ten years. If you lose, you'll work for us for ten years as well. What do you think?"
“Okay, let’s do it that way,” Ye Feng said with a smile.
Li Xiuzhen nodded in satisfaction, a burning fighting spirit igniting within her.
Ye Feng didn't stay there any longer and left with Zhao Ruyan.
Zhao Ruyan probably didn't expect Li Xiuzhen to value Ye Feng so much, so she was still shaken and hadn't calmed down yet.
Suddenly, a figure appeared from a distance.
It was Chen Xinghe!
As soon as he arrived, Chen Xinghe greeted him with a cupped-hand salute and sighed, "Today was really too dangerous, Brother Feng."
“Yes, all the alchemists around me failed, which almost affected me,” Ye Feng said.
"Fortunately, you succeeded in the end," Chen Xinghe said.
At the same time, Chen Xinghe's voice rang in Ye Feng's mind.
"Tomorrow's topic is a ninth-grade spiritual pill, the Divine Essence Lightning-Attracting Pill!"
Upon hearing the words "Divine Essence Lightning-Attracting Pill," Ye Feng's expression changed slightly.
It wasn't because the Divine Essence Lightning-Attracting Pill was too difficult to refine, but because this pill was just too suitable for him!
Because Ye Feng's core technique is the Thunder Tribulation Undying Golden Body, which allows him to control lightning, the Divine Essence Thunder-Attracting Pill is actually the easiest type of pill for him to refine!
This was practically tailor-made for him!
"Is everything alright?" Chen Xinghe asked.
“No problem,” Night Wind replied telepathically.
Chen Xinghe nodded and said, "Tomorrow is the last competition. Not all 24 of you will be eliminated, but the rankings will be determined based on the quality of the pills. So, Brother Feng, you must do your best tomorrow."
“I will,” Night Wind replied.
The next morning.
Ye Feng and Zhao Ruyan arrived at the central square together.
There were still many people in the square, but only twenty-four people were qualified to participate in the alchemy.
Perhaps because there were too few people, Li Tianfeng directly announced: "Please all twenty-four masters who are participating in the alchemy to come to the center of the venue."
Ye Feng, along with Li Xiuzhen and the other twenty-two alchemists, moved to the center of the square.
Li Tianfeng looked at Ye Feng and the others and said with a smile, "After the previous three rounds of competition, you twenty-four people are the most outstanding alchemists. Today's competition is also the last one, and the top ten will be determined."
"The top ten will each be eligible to enter our Sun Sect's treasure vault and choose a spiritual artifact according to their needs! There are no restrictions on grade or type. As long as it's in the treasure vault, you can take it if you like it!"
Upon hearing Li Tianfeng's words, all the alchemists present were eager to try.
"If any one or more of the top ten want to join our Sun Sect, that's not impossible. They can join our Sun Sect as long as they give up choosing a spiritual weapon!"
Ye Feng's expression hardened.
Ye Feng's goal was to join the Sun Sect. His original plan was to achieve a good ranking and be recommended by Chen Xinghe.
But now Li Tianfeng says that as long as he gives up choosing a spiritual weapon, he can directly enter the Sun Sect, which is more advantageous for Ye Feng.
Anyway, Ye Feng had no interest in the Sun Sect's magical artifacts.
