Chapter 527 - Chapter 527: Chapter 212: Alchemy Competition (2/2)
And Lin Jue, not to be outdone, said forthright:
“Let’s have the contest, I’m not afraid…”
Upon hearing this, Ji Xiyue’s expression immediately darkened, and she said coldly to Ji Ling:
“Nonsense…”
“You’re a core disciple of the Elixir Hall. How can you casually compete in alchemy with others?”
“Hurry up and apologize to Lin Daoyou…”
On hearing this, Ji Ling became anxious, pointing at Lin Jue, he said:
“But…”
“he dared say that my alchemy skills are no better than his and slandered you, claiming your alchemy skills are not as good as his brother’s…”
Before Ji Ling could finish, Lin Jue interjected:
“It was you who slandered my brother first…”
On hearing this, Ji Ling immediately retorted:
“You boast about how great your brother is; why doesn’t he just make the elixir himself then? If it were my aunt, I bet she would have created it by now.”
Lin Jue scoffed coldly before replying:

Chastened by their scolding, the two lowered their heads, but even with bowed heads, they didn’t behave, still glaring at each other in silent confrontation.
At that moment,
Yan Ming, also seeing the situation, quickly stepped in to mediate:
“Fellow Daoists…”
“May I offer a suggestion?”
Lin Jing and Ji Xiyue both turned to look at Yan Ming.
“Please speak, Yan Daoyou…” Lin Jing then said.
Ji Xiyue also nodded lightly before looking at Yan Ming.
Yan Ming nodded and began:
“Seeing the two of them like this, neither will easily admit defeat. I think it’s better to let them have their contest. They can let their abilities do the talking. That way, even if one loses, both sides will be convinced.”
“After all, it’s just an alchemy competition; there won’t be any danger. What do you two think?”
Upon hearing this, Ji Xiyue’s brow furrowed slightly as she said:
