Trouble!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard Elder Jiang Tao invited an alchemist over, I have to see this for myself,” a loud voice came from outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan frowned slightly and turned his head to look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the entrance stood three middle-aged men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one in the lead was chubby with a large ear, exuding an aura of wealth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two men beside him were dressed in pill robes and had a somewhat sinister look in their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rune Masters?” Lin Xuan sensed the soul fluctuation from the two men, squinting his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chubby middle-aged man swaggered in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After calling out to Jiang Song twice, he set his gaze on Lin Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you the Rune Master invited by Jiang Song?” the middle-aged Fatty asked suspiciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan’s mouth curved into a slight smile as he nodded faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph, you do look young.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Has Old Jiang Song been blinded by greed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why would he bring in such a brat!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How I choose my help is none of your concern,” Elder Jiang Tao’s voice came through this time, tinged with a trace of annoyance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elder Jiang Song, no offense, but this kid is too young, he doesn’t look reliable,” the middle-aged Fatty’s flesh quivered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indeed, Elder Jiang Song, aside from strong soul power, experience is even more crucial for a Rune Master!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This kid looks to be only about seventeen or eighteen years old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How many years could he have possibly refined elixirs?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speaker was a long-faced middle-aged man named Gao Qing, also a Rune Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only that, but he was also a Guest Elder at the Jiang Mansion, usually refining some elixirs for the Jiang Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged Fatty’s gaze swept around, and when he saw the medicinal herbs on the table, his eyes, large as eggs, instantly bulged out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sixth Grade Spiritual Medicine!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And several specimens at that, have you gone mad, Elder Jiang Song?” the middle-aged Fatty shrieked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two middle-aged men behind him were also greatly surprised; Sixth Grade Spiritual Medicine was valuable and rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even more so, they noticed three specimens of Seventh Grade Spiritual Medicine among them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seventh Grade Spiritual Medicine was an extremely rare and precious medicinal ingredient, and neither of them had ever personally refined it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elder Jiang Song, I urge you to reconsider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, wasting three Seventh-grade herbs will be a huge loss for the Jiang Family!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Elder Jiang Song, you may not know what elixir you want to refine, but you could have just left it to us,” another alchemist, Sun Di, said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You all?” Lin Xuan laughed, “Do you know how to refine elixirs that can raise the level of Melt Spirit Realm Martial Artists?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, he had been holding back his frustration, these three had been sarcastic and disdainful from the moment they walked in, not taking him seriously at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear they had come looking for trouble!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So there was no courtesy in Lin Xuan’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“An elixir that can raise the level of the Melt Spirit Realm?” The three men gasped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged Fatty looked surprised, but the two alchemists behind him were shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Third-grade Alchemists, they naturally knew how precious an elixir that could raise the level of the Melt Spirit Realm was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such an elixir recipe wasn’t something that ordinary Third-grade Alchemists could master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, to say that Lin Xuan could master this recipe, they didn’t believe it at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kid, we don’t even know how to make such an elixir, and you dare to boast so boldly?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly, we’ve been refining elixirs for decades and haven’t mastered such recipes, how could a greenhorn like you possibly master it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t be deceived by him, Elder Jiang Song.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think this brat is here to swindle the Spiritual Medicine!” the middle-aged Fatty scoffed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What a bunch of frogs at the bottom of a well!” Lin Xuan sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What did you say!” the two Rune Masters roared in anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged Fatty also had a sullen face, his eyes filled with iciness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boy, do you know who you’re talking to?” the middle-aged Fatty said grimly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly, the two of us have refined more elixir pills than you have even eaten salt in your life, what right do you have to talk to us here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Having refined elixirs for decades, you’re merely a Third Grade Rune Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I were you, I would have long since dashed my head against tofu in shame!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan replied with disdain, “Looking at your soul fluctuations, you’re just at the average level of a Third Grade Rune Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this the result of your decades of cultivation?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Truly as dumb as a pig!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You, what did you just say!” The two pharmacists exploded in anger like thunder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were of esteemed status, accustomed to being respectfully addressed as ‘master’ by everyone they encountered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, here Lin Xuan was, daring to look down on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strong killing intent arose in their hearts!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elder Jiang Song, if you persist in this foolishness, I will report this matter to the clan leader,” the middle-aged Fatty said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jiang Kui, don’t push people too far!” Elder Jiang Song snorted coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What on earth are you trying to do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To let this youngster refine pills is also fine,” the middle-aged Fatty smiled, “but only if he first competes with the two elders behind me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If he wins, let him refine the elixir pills.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If he loses, it’s deceit against the Jiang Family, not only must martial arts be abolished, but his limbs must be severed!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This method was too cruel, even more vicious than murder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan bore no grudge against them, yet they resorted to such a malicious method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Jiang Song was furious, clearly seeing that this was targeted specifically at Lin Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was about to say something when Lin Xuan stood up unexpectedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine, I accept your challenge!” Lin Xuan said gravely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had just won the championship in the Pill King competition of Heavenly Mountain Country, and his strength was definitely at the top among Third Grade Alchemists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two pharmacists, despite having refined elixirs for decades, were in his eyes insignificant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only was Lin Xuan exceptionally talented, but he also had the guidance of the peerless master, the Lord of Wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His daily cultivation insights were worth several years of an ordinary person’s efforts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, he was not the least bit afraid of the upcoming competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Lin Xuan agree so readily, Elder Jiang Song’s pupils constricted slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To agree so easily, he truly is an idiot.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I just need to use a third of my strength to make him fail miserably!” the two pharmacists sneered coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were very confident; they had seen many battles and didn’t take Lin Xuan, this young upstart, seriously at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Compete in what?” Lin Xuan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was said that Elder Jiang Song had recently become so impatient that his inner evil fire was rampant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why not compete in refining an elixir to dispel this evil fire?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly—he could see the opponent had come prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his words fell, the two pharmacists burst into laughter: “Kid, you’re not scared, are you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Jiang Song looked at Lin Xuan, somewhat worried, but seeing Lin Xuan’s expression, his anxious heart also settled down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan calmly sat back in the red chair and slowly sipped the spiritual tea, embodying an image of composure and tranquility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, he did not take this competition seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he hadn’t had tremendous confidence in his own abilities, he would not have displayed such behavior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph, what an act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s wait until after I’ve refined my elixir and see if you still have the face to sit here!” the two pharmacists sneered darkly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This place is too small; let’s move to the Alchemy Platform,” suggested the middle-aged Fatty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alchemy Platform?” Lin Xuan’s expression showed confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“An outdoor place for refining pills, where some of the mansion’s elixir masters frequently perform public pill refining, and sometimes even hold lectures,” Elder Jiang Song explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I see, public refining?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looks like this guy wants to make me look like a fool on the spot.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But, who will end up looking foolish is not yet certain, right?” Lin Xuan scoffed coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the other party had already presented their ‘face,’ how could he not slap it back?\u003C\u002Fp>",1408,"2026-06-06T00:46:41.017Z",1,"novelbin.me","4dd04da1414dac06427615b676cdedb69ec38f65e7da20adfc0348e92a153822","inverse-sword-mad-god-chapter-375","inverse-sword-mad-god-chapter-373",1795,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finverse-sword-mad-god-cover.jpg"]
