Especially Murong Qingshu, whose mouth was twitching slightly at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he knew Lin Xuan was brought by Murong Qingcheng, he didn’t expect their relationship to be so good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amongst the envious and jealous stares of the crowd, Lin Xuan was calmly sitting with Murong Qingcheng, chatting and laughing quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, everyone took out their prepared gifts and presented them one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, many people looked at Lin Xuan with a provocative gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They wanted to see what kind of gift Lin Xuan would give.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the conflict between Lin Xuan and Murong Qian previously was due to a gift, they were particularly curious about what Lin Xuan would bring out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, particularly the disciples of the Liu Family, Shen Family, and Red Moon City wore cold smiles as they looked at Lin Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They wanted to see what good stuff this arrogant young man could offer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lin Xuan flipped his palm and took out a black box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a very ordinary box, quite plain, ancient without adornment, extraordinarily ordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No exquisite carvings, no dazzling light, just the plainest wooden box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this scene, everyone was dumbfounded, unable to believe Lin Xuan would bring out something like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn, what is that thing? Isn’t it just an ordinary box?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Looking at his calm and composed appearance, could there be a treasure inside the box?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What a joke, would you place a treasure in such a box?” someone sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And Liu Family’s disciple ridiculed further, ‘Boy, even if you’re poor, you shouldn’t bring such a thing. Are you here to make a mess?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Murong Qingcheng sitting beside Lin Xuan, everyone’s hearts were full of envy and jealousy, so they seized this opportunity to mock Lin Xuan relentlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you, anyway? Just an insignificant disciple of the Immortal Martial Academy, yet capable of winning the favor of the Heavenly Pride Goddess — you must have used some despicable methods. Time to expose your ugly side.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This thought was on the minds of all the young Martial Artists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, a disciple of the Shen Family spoke up, “Seeing Brother Lin’s calm demeanor, there must be something good in the box. Let’s open it and have a look.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nothing much, just an elixir pill I refined myself,” Lin Xuan said indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? A self-refined elixir pill?” At this point, everyone was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t expect Lin Xuan could refine elixirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, very quickly, everyone showed a look of contemptuous disdain. In their view, Lin Xuan was so young that even if he could refine elixirs, the skill level wouldn’t be high — at most a fifth-grade Alchemist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What can a fifth-grade Alchemist refine? At most fifth-grade elixirs, perhaps top-grade fifth-grade elixirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would such elixirs even be worthy of presenting as a gift?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Absolutely laughable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, many Martial Artists sneered coldly. They thought Lin Xuan was childish, using his self-refined elixir as a gift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just knew this kid had nothing good, originally thought it’d be some ordinary gift, but didn’t expect it would be such an oddball.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha, it’s killing me with laughter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph, atrocious! Clearly could have half Earth-grade Treasure to gift but ends up giving this trash elixir — really thinks Red Moon City is easy to fool?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples of Red Moon City were furious individually, looked at the crowd with ill intention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan, however, just awkwardly rubbed his nose, wondering why this group was mocking — did he say wrong? It was indeed his own refinement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha, Brother Lin, your gift is indeed peculiar.” At this time, a Yin Rou-looking youth beside Shen Yulong stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I didn’t expect Brother Lin to be an Alchemist too, but this gift is truly surprising. You must know, even I, as a Sixth-grade Alchemist, wouldn’t dare to present my self-refined elixir.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Lin’s courage, really admirable!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This voice carried a hint of yin-yang sarcasm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, are you a Sixth-grade Alchemist?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time it was Lin Xuan’s turn to be surprised, he couldn’t imagine this youth being an Alchemist, and at a Sixth-grade level at that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reaching Sixth-grade Alchemist at that age, the talent is undoubtedly formidable, worthy of the King Family producing such alchemy talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the other’s attitude still displeased him, and Lin Xuan realized why, upon bringing out the wooden box, everyone laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In these people’s view, the wooden box surely didn’t contain good elixir pills, hence their reactions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nonetheless, Lin Xuan smirked coldly at them, “A bunch of frogs in the well, lacking real understanding.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are incapable of reaching high-level elixirs, assuming others can’t either?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, pathetic people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan looked at the Yin Rou youth, smiling and inquired, “Didn’t expect that Brother is a Sixth-grade Alchemist, truly my respects.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The status of a Sixth-grade Alchemist is not low, Brother’s talent is enviable, indeed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the Yin Rou youth revealed an even more smug smile, practically raising his chin with pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding people were quite surprised; they didn’t expect Lin Xuan to say such a thing, while Red Moon City’s disciples looked gloomy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by Lin Xuan’s words, his alchemy level surely wouldn’t exceed a Sixth-grade Alchemist, otherwise, he wouldn’t say those things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An inferior Alchemist, yet daring to present his own crafted trash elixir as a gift — evidently not considering them at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it, this guy is detestable, looking down on Red Moon City!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s just here to create trouble, I’d suggest throwing him out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph, even if Sister Qingcheng supports him, he shouldn’t be so arrogant — thinking Red Moon City is defenseless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A group of Red Moon City disciples were furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Murong Qingcheng also cast a curious look; although she knew Lin Xuan’s alchemy level wasn’t weak, she felt a bit anxious now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Relax, no problem.” Lin Xuan gave a reassuring look, then smiled playfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this smile, Murong Qingcheng felt relieved, knowing that whenever Lin Xuan bore such a smile, it indicated he was confident in handling the matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, someone was about to face misfortune.\u003C\u002Fp>",1149,"2026-06-06T00:47:09.319Z",1,"novelbin.me","f10d59126e5a045c2276c86826e1cd4a1afe6b9e3345a66461803fa63b74f648","inverse-sword-mad-god-chapter-926","inverse-sword-mad-god-chapter-1022",1795,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finverse-sword-mad-god-cover.jpg"]
