Chapter 650: The Dao Of Cultivating Flower (2/2)

“Your words are proof?” Qing Yu sneered and said: “Your irresponsible defamation is proof? Hmph, this Ominous Star Flower is now harmless thanks to the Qing Clan’s unique fertilizing strand. It has been growing here for several years! And not only has it been growing at an incredible speed, it hasn’t even harmed a fly!”

“All of this is proof that the Ominous Star Flower has been dispelled of its evil affinity and is slowly growing into a divine flower. So now, how can you say that the flower is still the same? You are jealous of our Qing Clan’s unique mix and want to destroy our reputation. If you do not make this clear, our Qing Clan will not let you off so easily!” At this point, Qing Yu drew closer to Li Qiye with a frightening momentum, wanting to push him to the very edge.

“This is true!” With Huangfu Hao’s support, all the other alchemists quickly rode the wave as well. One of them said: “Lacking even the most common of knowledge yet you still dare to spew arrogant drivel and defame the Qing Clan. A treacherous man like this should be punished!”

Li Qiye only smiled and didn’t mind the brigade branding against him. He asked: “Then you must be very confident with the Qing Clan’s unique mix?”

Qing Yu smirked in response: “Hmph! Actions speak louder than words. No matter how sly you might be with words, you cannot deny the truth that our Qing Clan’s mix has cured the flower of its vicious nature.”

Li Qiye slowly replied: “If you want the truth, then I shall give it to you. In my knowledge, the Ominous Star Flower is very sensitive to loud screams. Whether it has changed or not, you can give it a shot.”

Qing Yu’s pupils narrowed while looking at Li Qiye. He drily said: “Really now?”

Li Qiye smiled and waved his palm in the air back and forth to say: “This is the case as far as I know, but I suggest that you do not try it since it won’t end well.”

“Is that so?” Qing Yu coldly sneered while gazing at Li Qiye: “Since you put it that way, I want to try it even more. What would you do if your method fails?”

Qing Yu clearly didn’t want to let this go until Li Qiye accepted defeat.

“What do you want me to do?” Li Qiye replied with a grin.

Qing Yu suggested with a smirk: “Very simple, it’ll be the same as before. If you are right about it being an act, then I deserve death from being attacked by the flower; it would be because my dao of alchemy was insufficient. However, if you are wrong... Not only did you stain our reputation, you also caused trouble and unfounded defamation, so you have to feed yourself to your cauldron’s Fire Source.”

Madam Zi Yan’s expression sank after hearing this. Qing Yu’s approach was taking things too far; it was apparent that he wanted to kill Li Qiye.

All the other alchemists held their breaths in antic.i.p.ation. This was a life or death gamble and not something to be laughed about. Although many of them didn’t like Li Qiye, it wasn’t to the extent where they would wish death upon him.

They didn’t say anything else to fuel the fire now that Qing Yu voiced his desire to kill Li Qiye.

Meanwhile, after voicing his support, Huangfu Hao only smiled while calmly watching things play out by the side. If necessary, he would interfere again to fan the flames.

Li Qiye narrowed his eyes and smiled in the face of the repeated attempts of Qing Yu wanting to kill him.

People who were familiar with Li Qiye would shudder with fear since this expression meant that Li Qiye intended to kill.

Li Qiye smiled and waved his hands to say: “I’m afraid that’s no good. In my opinion, this Ominous Star Flower has flourished very well and it might take your life if this goes sour.”

“Hahaha, I should thank you for your concern.” Qing Yu sneered: “But there is no need, I trust my Qing Clan’s unique mix. If you are afraid to die, then just say it. It is not too late to kneel and beg for forgiveness. This would still be much better than losing your life.”

[spoiler t.i.tle='650 Teaser']Qing Yu was astounded when Li Qiye quickly revealed the crux of his secret formula, but he recovered very quickly. Perhaps Li Qiye was only lucky and guessed correctly.

Qing Yu coldly spoke: “So what? The Ominous Star Flower is vicious by nature, but this is due to its environment. It usually grows up in nether and dangerous lands so it has vicious tendencies. Coincidentally, the Corruption Ward Sacred Water is able to dispel the evil aura from these spirit plants.

“By dispelling the evil habit from the flower as well as nurturing it with this fertilizer so that it could have a better growing environment, this would allow for it to calm down. Through time, its vicious nature will be erased, and one day, it will become a divine flower.”

Although Qing Yu and Li Qiye were enemies, it had to be said that Qing Yu was indeed slightly capable with some knowledge regarding the dao of alchemy.[/spoiler]
