Chapter 861: Chapter 384 Holy Maiden of Cloud Sky Immortal Sect_2 Chapter 861: Chapter 384 Holy Maiden of Cloud Sky Immortal Sect_2 Yan Wanfei nodded, then continued,

“The Holy Maiden of Yunxian Sect is truly incredible—a genius among geniuses.

In the previous two contests, she completely overshadowed the son of the Ziyun Pill Sect Sect Master and the Seventh Grade Pill Master Loose Cultivator, securing first place in the competitions.”

“If there are no surprises this time, she is bound to be the first-place winner of this contest.”

Hearing this, Holaw Three Rivers curled his lip and then turned to ask Yan Wanfei,

“If the Holy Maiden of Yunxian Sect is a genius among geniuses, then what about Brother Lin?”

“You must know that Brother Lin is also under three hundred years old, yet he is already an Eighth Grade Alchemist.

If not for the fact that he has already joined the Elixir Alliance, he would be eligible to participate in this Alchemy Competition.”

“Moreover, Brother Lin is not only an Eighth Grade Alchemist, but also a powerhouse at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage before the age of three hundred.

What do you say to that?”

Yan Wanfei was taken aback upon hearing this.

After a while, Yan Wanfei glanced at Lin Jing beside him and then said with a bitter face,

“That’s entirely different, isn’t it!”

“She’s merely a genius among geniuses, but Brother Lin is a freak among freaks.

How can they be compared?”

“Think back to when we were in the Southern Outer Sea, we were all just at the Golden Core stage of cultivation…”

Who dares to compare with Brother Lin?”

With that, Yan Wanfei changed the subject and said to Holaw Three Rivers,

“You should be extremely grateful now, it’s because of my simple and honest nature that I was able to hit it off with Brother Lin from the first meeting and become friends.”

“Otherwise, with your straightforward and stubborn temperament, you would’ve offended countless people by now.”

Holaw Three Rivers, upon hearing this, pursed his lips, offering no rebuttal.

When he first met Lin Jing, Holaw Three Rivers was indeed wary of him.

After all, it was their first meeting and they were strangers; it was natural to be cautious.

Furthermore, afterward, Holaw Three Rivers had specifically apologized for that incident, and it was already a thing of the past.

In contrast, Yan Wanfei’s honest nature was indeed rare in the Cultivation World.

However, having bickered for many years, Holaw Three Rivers rarely lost out and was not one to be suppressed by Yan Wanfei’s words, which was clearly not his style.

So,

Holaw Three Rivers looked at Yan Wanfei and spoke in a deep voice,

“I remember someone always wanting to ask Brother Lin for a sparring match…”

Upon hearing this, Yan Wanfei shook his head frantically,

“No…”

“I dare not, I’ve learned my lesson, please have mercy.”

…

…

The two enjoyed their banter, while Lin Jing and Lu Youjiu exchanged glances before helplessly shrugging.

Then, Lin Jing ignored the two of them and continued to watch the center of the arena.

At this moment, the distribution of the Alchemy Ingredients required by everyone for the contest was nearly complete, and the competition was about to truly begin.

But just then, Lin Jing suddenly felt a gaze on him.

Lin Jing followed the gaze and discovered that the person looking at him was none other than the Alliance Hierarch of the Elixir Alliance.

At this time…

The Alliance Hierarch was motioning for Lin Jing to come over.

Seeing this, Lin Jing nodded,

And after explaining to Lu Youjiu and the others, he rose to his feet and stepped forward.

The next moment…

Lin Jing appeared not far behind the Alliance Hierarch.

Seeing Lin Jing’s arrival, the Alliance Hierarch turned and said to him,

“Come…”

“Have a seat next to me.”

Lin Jing looked at the seats beside the Alliance Hierarch; they were arranged for the Elixir Alliance Elders serving as judges.

Since he was not yet an Elder, it seemed rather inappropriate to join them.

Thus, Lin Jing spoke up,

“Alliance Hierarch, I am currently just a disciple within the Elixir Alliance, this seems somewhat improper.”

The Alliance Hierarch was unperturbed and replied,

“There’s nothing wrong with that.

After all, you are now an Eighth Grade Alchemist and are about to participate in the Eighth Grade Alchemist assessment.

As long as you pass, you will be the ninth Elder of the Elixir Alliance.”
