Chapter 510: What Is He Trying to Do?

Pill Refining Building.

The entire pavilion was filled with pill furnaces that the Li family had collected from all over or spent heavy money to invite artifact refiners to forge.

When Lin Chen arrived at this building with Li Qin, quite a few people were already standing in front of the building.

"That is Yuan Shengyao."

Li Qin transmitted her voice to Lin Chen. Lin Chen's gaze also fell on a middle-aged man not far away.

Beside the middle-aged man, there were also a few young people. At the same time, quite a few people were standing in the open space in front of the building. These were all Li family clansmen who had received the news and came to watch the battle.

As pill refiners, sometimes being able to observe the pill refining process of pill refiners stronger than themselves, through observing the other party's pill refining techniques, could also lead to insights.

"Master Yuan, that is Xiao Yan."

Li Kai also transmitted his voice to Yuan Shengyao at the same time. Yuan Shengyao looked at Lin Chen and snorted: "A person who popped out from nowhere. Brother Li, if it weren't for your warm invitation, I would absolutely not accept this kind of competition."

"Thank you, Master Yuan, for giving me face."

Li Kai pulled a smile on his face, but he was cursing in his heart. Calling him Master Yuan, he really took himself for a master.

Previously, he informed Yuan Shengyao of the elder's decision, and Yuan Shengyao refused on the grounds of not competing with unknown people, until he took out several treasured medicinal materials that he agreed.

And the loss of these medicinal materials, in Li Kai's view, was all because of Li Qin and that Xiao Yan. Therefore, Li Kai looked at Lin Chen who was walking over, his eyes full of unkindness.

"Your cousin seems to have a lot of hostility toward me."

Lin Chen transmitted his voice to Li Qin. Li Qin explained: "Originally, he just wanted to snatch your spot. But after the elder spoke and set the competition, in order to make Yuan Shengyao agree to participate in the competition, he feared he had paid a lot. He has dissatisfaction in his heart, so Brother Xiao doesn't need to care."

Li Qin didn't hide the argument between her and Li Kai, including the process of the elder setting the competition, and told Lin Chen everything one by one.

Whether to participate in the competition was decided by Lin Chen himself.

If Lin Chen was unwilling, then let it be.

But Li Kai couldn't be like this casually. The matter had reached the elders. If Yuan Shengyao didn't participate in the competition, then Li Kai's previous actions would become suppressing opponents regardless of family interests, which was a family taboo.

"I don't have any care. I also want to see how this Yuan Shengyao's face attainments are."

Lin Chen smiled slightly. He didn't care, but this Yuan Shengyao feared he cared a bit. The contempt on his face was almost undisguised.

As a Xiantian powerhouse, he is not the type of person to lack depth, and generally would not wear his emotions on his sleeve like this; there is only one situation where that happens: when facing those close to him, or when facing those he holds in contempt.

The former was family, no need to hide emotions; the latter was feeling that the other party was of the same status or position as him, so there was no need to care about the other party's feelings and reactions.

Li Qin heard this and also smiled. She heard the confidence in Xiao Yan's words.

Although she didn't know what level Xiao Yan's pill refining attainments were, she could judge from getting along with Xiao Yan for these few days that Xiao Yan was not the kind of arrogant person.

A person who is not arrogant but dares to bet with her on the top ten must have his own grasp of pill refining attainments.

At worst, he should also be stronger than this Yuan Shengyao who was in the top five hundred of the previous session.

Unless Lin Chen was completely unaware of the fierceness of the competition in each session of the artifact refining competition, especially the pill refining competition, would he boast.

And at this moment, the Li family clansmen who came to watch also began to discuss in low voices.

"Is he Xiao Yan? I've never heard of him before."

"Pill refiners below the master level, except for a few who have the potential to be masters, where can one finish hearing about them? Even Yuan Shengyao

"Although this is the first time we've heard the name Yuan Shengyao, according to what Li Kai said, this person ranked in the top five hundred in the alchemy competition of the previous grand tournament."

"Top five hundred? Doesn't the grand tournament only have rankings for the top one hundred?"

A young alchemist of the Li family looked puzzled; since when did the grand tournament have a top five hundred ranking?

"Ahem, the top one hundred are evaluated by the Qianji Sect, while the top five hundred is a ranking made privately by everyone based on the performance of the eliminated alchemists." An older Li family clansman on the side lowered his voice to answer, but no matter how low he kept his voice, how could Yuan Shengyao, a Xiantian powerhouse, not hear it?

Instantly, Yuan Shengyao's face darkened a few shades more.

"Since everyone is here, let's begin."

Yuan Shengyao ignored Lin Chen as he walked over and said directly: "There is no need to enter the building to refine; just refine right here. I heard you have Xiantian Fire, so let's choose to refine Xuan Po Dan. Within three hours, let's see who can refine more Xuan Po Dan."

Hearing the method of competition proposed by Yuan Shengyao, many Li family clansmen on the scene were somewhat shocked.

An alchemist possessing Xiantian Fire not only has a higher success rate in alchemy, but their speed is also faster than other alchemists. Yuan Shengyao's method of competition completely gave Xiao Yan every advantage.

"I actually think Yuan Shengyao will win this competition. This Yuan Shengyao's alchemy attainments must be very high."

"Oh, why do you think so?"

"If your opponent possessed Xiantian Fire, would you propose this kind of competition method?"

"I wouldn't."

"That is the logic; only when one has enough self-confidence does one dare to choose this kind of competition."
