Back in the huge karst cave, the two teams suddenly met each other face to face. Immediately, intense killing intent exploded in the karst cave, bringing down the temperature drastically. The hostile and harsh killing intent seemed to be howling in the karst cave like a violent wind.
”Hehe, enemies are fated to meet. I can't believe that you little rascals actually showed up in front of me!” Dong Shan stepped out before the other team. With a hideous expression on his face, he looked at Mu Chen, Wen Qingxuan, Luo Li and the rest.
”How dare you be so arrogant as to escape like a dog previously?” Wen Qingxuan sneered and mocked him, without showing any mercy.
”You!” Dong Shan glared at Wen Qingxuan.
But, Wen Qingxuan ignored his stare. Her cold eyes then looked at the man beside Dong Shan. The man had a head full of flaming hair.
”Wu Tong, the working style of the Wu's is despicable as usual. Earlier, you used all sorts of means just to get the information about the relic from our side. Now, you've even sold the details of our whereabouts to other people.” Wen Qingxuan sneered.
The man with flaming hair smiled. ”Nothing is too deceitful in times of war. Don't blame others for stealing, especially when you cannot safeguard the information. We're rivals now, after all, so isn't it natural to play some tricks on one another?”
He paused and looked at Mu Chen and the rest of the group. Then, with a mocking smile, he asked, ”Besides, didn't you look for helpers too? Even though you'll soon find out that they are useless…”
”What a boastful attitude!” Long Xiang could not stand his belittlement of Mu Chen, so he glared at the man and wanted to continue, but Mu Chen stopped him.
Mu Chen then looked at the man, who was named Wu Tong. Violent spiritual energy surged from the man, and he was a exuding strong oppression that unsettled the surrounding air. Apparently, Wu Tong was an authentic Complete Earthly Sovereign.
The two opposing teams were Dong Shan's Demon Slayers and the men from the Wu family. It appeared that the other party had two Complete Earthly Sovereigns among them.
But, the one who was really worth mentioning was the Advanced Spiritual Array Ancestral Master, Ling Xi, who was on Mu Chen's team. Also, there were two half-step Complete Earthly Sovereigns, Wen Ziyu and Long Xiang.
The opposing party clearly had a much stronger lineup at first glance. Despite knowing this, Wen Qingxuan did not look fearful. This indicated that she must have some means of her own.
Wen Qingxuan's pretty face was cold, and she did not continue to bicker with Wu Tong. Instead, she cast her gaze towards the deepest part of the karst cave.
At the end of the cave, there was a stone table. An exquisite bronze furnace that looked like a spiritual butterfly was sitting on the table. Flames seemed to be burning within the furnace.
”Mu Chen, that furnace over there was left by the Spiritual Butterfly Pill Fairy. Her inheritance lies within it. If you can get that, you can inherit her various arts of refining elixirs,” Wen Qingxuan said.
”Oh?” Mu Chen was slightly surprised as he looked at that bronze furnace, but he was not covetous of it. After all, he was not interested in alchemy, nor did he have the energy to practice it.
”I want to obtain the Spiritual Butterfly Pill Fairy's inheritance of refining elixirs,” Wen Qingxuan said.
Mu Chen looked at Wen Qingxuan and asked, ”Do you practice alchemy, too?”
”Hehe, Qingxuan is the best alchemist in the Wen family now. If she could obtain the inheritance of the Spiritual Butterfly Pill Fairy, her proficiency level in the future might be on par with the Flame Emperor from the Endless Fire Territory!” Wen Ziyu spoke with pride.
Mu Chen was rather shocked. As Wen Qingxuan was not interested in alchemy in the earlier years, he had not expected that she would turn out to be such a proficient alchemist.
But, his shock did not last for long. After all, he also became a war troop dispatcher himself. Hence, it was not so unusual for Wen Qingxuan to have become an alchemist.
”If you have the need for it, the inheritance can be yours.” Mu Chen nodded and smiled.
After all, no one on his side practiced alchemy. Therefore, he did not have much use for it.
Seeing that Mu Chen did not hesitate in giving up such a precious inheritance, Wen Qingxuan was somewhat moved. Wen Ziyu and the rest of the powerhouses from the Wen family looked at Mu Chen with gratitude in their eyes. After all, if it were other teams, they might have an internal argument because of the unjust distribution.
”Thank you.” Wen Qingxuan thanked him softly, then said, ”But, you will still not lose out, as you can take 80% of the elixirs, while we will only take 20%.”
Previously, they had agreed on splitting up the resources equally. Now, Wen Qingxuan had decided to give up another 30% in order to make it up to Mu Chen.
Mu Chen nodded as he had no objection to this compromise. Also, he knew that Wen Qingxuan was very prideful, and if he rejected this offer, she might feel uneasy about it.
”Wen Qingxuan, aren't you being too impatient in dividing the treasures as such?” At this time, Wu Tong sneered. He looked at Wen Qingxuan with an ambiguous smile.
