Seeing that Rong Xinya and Wenren Bingying had both invoked their respective families to support Chi Yuan, Kui Meng was immediately put in a difficult position.
The Kui Lang Gang was only a second-tier power in Jingyang City. They couldn't afford to offend even the Ye family, let alone two top-tier powers at the same time. How could he dare to truly offend the Ye family and the Wen family?
At that moment, Kui Meng smiled obsequiously and said, "Ladies, you are too kind. This is just a quarrel between him and me. How could it have escalated to the point of opposing your two families?"
After saying that, he changed his tone and used a different excuse to provoke Chi Yuan again: "You are favored by two proud daughters of the Ye family and the Wen family, so you must be a top genius from a powerful family. I wonder if you dare to exchange a move with me and let this barbarian from the Kui gang see the style of a top genius?"
"Kui Meng, have you no shame? Young Master Fu Feng is only a first-level Spirit King. You, a third-level Spirit King, are challenging him. Don't you have any sense of shame?"
Rong Xinya coldly rebuked him with a disgruntled expression.
Kui Meng looked like a young man, but he was actually over fifty years old. His strength was extremely powerful among the younger generation in Jingyang City, and he could fight against an ordinary fourth-level Spirit King.
With his strength, why would he challenge Chi Yuan, a first-level Spirit King? Isn't that bullying him?
“Miss Xinya, that’s a biased statement. Since you’ve taken a liking to this person, he must be exceptionally capable, surely stronger than me, right? If he’s not even as good as me, why would he deserve your favor?”
Kui Meng crossed his arms and spoke emphatically.
"you……"
Rong Xinya was speechless for a moment. She really couldn't refute it, after all, she did think that Chi Yuan was stronger than Kui Meng, of course, on the premise that he used the Nine Netherworld Fire.
But if we use the Netherworld Fire, wouldn't that cause deaths? The power of the spirit fire alone could burn Kui Meng to ashes, right?
Seeing that Rong Xinya was speechless, Kui raised an eyebrow triumphantly and turned his gaze back to Chi Yuan: "Why are you acting like a mute? Are you afraid to spar with me? I don't necessarily want to compete with you. As long as you can withstand half of my punch, I will acknowledge you. How about that?"
"Not interested."
Chi Yuan had no intention of engaging in a battle of wits with Kui Meng, as it would not benefit him and would only expose him. What reason would he have to fight Kui Meng?
Having said that, he sat down with a clear conscience.
Rong Xinya smiled when she saw this. She did not look down on Chi Yuan because of this. On the contrary, she admired Chi Yuan's calm and composed nature. She would never look down on someone who would fight when provoked or who would deliberately show off his strength in front of others.
Walking gracefully to the tea table, You Rongxinya bent down, picked up the teapot, and slowly poured spiritual tea for Chi Yuan. She then poured herself a cup before sitting down elegantly and saying softly, "Young Master, please don't pay him any mind. Let's drink tea."
Chi Yuan nodded slightly, casually picked up his teacup, and took a small sip.
Seeing Chi Yuan's indifferent attitude, treating him like a clown, Kui Meng's anger surged. He gritted his teeth and sneered, "You don't even dare to exchange a single blow with me? It seems you're nothing but a coward who only knows how to hide behind a woman!"
You may think that way.
Chi Yuan calmly put down his teacup, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, and said unhurriedly, "Of course, if you insist on fighting, I'm not unwilling to take action, but you'll have to offer the prize I want."
Upon hearing this, Kui Meng's eyes lit up, and he grinned, "A prize? What kind of prize do you want?"
Chi Yuan pondered for a moment, then smiled slightly and said, "I am in need of a fourth-grade alchemy furnace. If you can offer a fourth-grade alchemy furnace as a prize, I can exchange blows with you. You don't need to give me any leeway; you can throw all your punches. If I can't withstand your punch, I will lose."
"A fourth-grade alchemy furnace? You really dare to ask for that? Do you think I'm a sucker?"
Kui Meng sneered, "A fourth-grade alchemy furnace is often more valuable than a regular fourth-grade spiritual artifact, and it is extremely rare. Even I only have one. How could I be willing to use such a treasure as a prize?"
Besides, even if he were willing to give it up, why would he use it as a prize for Chi Yuan? What benefit would winning it bring him?
"If you're afraid of losing, then shut up."
Chi Yuan's calm tone carried a strong sense of sarcasm.
You say I'm afraid of losing? Haha, what a joke!
Kui Meng laughed in anger. He was a third-level Spirit King, a being who could fight against enemies one level higher. Would he be afraid of losing to a first-level Spirit King?
I can't stand it!
If he backs down today, wouldn't he become the laughingstock of the entire Jingyang City, a coward that everyone would mock?
“I have a fourth-grade alchemy furnace, which I can use as a prize, but what prize do you have for me? You can’t expect me to win and get nothing in return, can you?”
Kui Meng said casually.
Chi Yuan smiled faintly and remained silent. He took out a jade bottle containing pills from his Qiankun bag, then flicked his fingers together to release a burst of spiritual power, breaking the sealing restriction on the bottle's opening. Immediately afterward, a pill shrouded in purple mist flew out of the jade bottle under the guidance of his spiritual power. Only then did he speak, "Does this pill meet your standards?"
"This is……"
"A high-grade fourth-rank pill, the Purple Essence Dao Spirit Pill!"
A gasp of surprise rang out from all around, and all eyes turned to the purple pill with burning intensity. This was a pill that could elevate the spiritual soul realm of a Spirit King-level cultivator, and even raise the spiritual soul of a weaker cultivator by two levels.
Although its value is slightly less than that of a fourth-grade alchemy furnace, this pill is quite rare and has a great effect on spirit kings with weaker spiritual strength. If someone needs it, it may not be less valuable than a fourth-grade alchemy furnace.
"Young Master Fu Feng can actually refine even a high-grade fourth-rank pill?"
Wenren Bingying and You Rongxin both had their eyes shining with admiration. The difficulty of refining a high-grade fourth-rank pill is far greater than that of a low-grade fourth-rank pill. Even though Chi Yuan possesses spiritual fire, it is still astonishing that he can refine a high-grade fourth-rank pill with the cultivation of a first-rank Spirit King.
