Holding an Auction Right Here!

"That's right, my young master and he have no misunderstanding. He just lost the bet, and he has to clean this street clean!"

Qiuyue raised his dark, thin face with a smug grin.

My young master is really something.

So much for being the youngest Alchemist! His skill level is just average!

Qu Zhou's face, which had initially shown signs of hope, instantly dimmed.

His eyes were filled with hostility towards the girl and Ye Jing.

Even the Pavilion Master of the Glow Pill Pavilion spoke up for him, yet these two didn't appreciate it!

"Pavilion Master, although I made a bet with him, it was just a joke during our discussion of Dao of Alchemy, and it doesn't count," Qu Zhou said, clasping his hands in a fist salute.

"Young Master Qu, that's no joke. I have a recording Spirit Stone here."

After Qiuyue finished speaking, she took out a Spirit Stone of unusual material from her pocket and infused it with Spiritual Qi.

Qu Zhou's voice then rang out.

"This..."

Qu Zhou's face stiffened, and he was speechless for a moment.

The white-haired, white-bearded Pavilion Master's gaze fell on the betting agreement. Sure enough, it was written in black and white, and Qu Zhou's signature was indeed on it.

Qu Zhou gritted his teeth, his gaze turning gloomy as he looked at Ye Jing.

He has utterly lost face today.

"Young lady, how about we..."

The white-haired, white-bearded Pavilion Master couldn't bear it and spoke up again.

"No way! Pavilion Master, a real man admits defeat. There's no room for joking. With so many people watching, I don't think the Qu Family can afford to lose face like this."

Ye Jing interrupted the Glow Pill Pavilion Master directly.

Qu Zhou's face was terribly gloomy. These passersby were originally intended to deal with Ye Jing, but he never expected to use them on himself.

"This..." The Pavilion Master was speechless for a moment.

The people around were speechless for a moment.

His gaze toward Qu Zhou was filled with disdain.

This Alchemist Qu is truly shameless.

This is truly a case of being so obsessed with saving face that you suffer for it!

Even if you lick the ground once now, you'll probably be criticized for the rest of your life!

Ye Jing stood with his hands behind his back, calmly looking at Qu Zhou.

"Alchemist Qu, please, and the two of you too!"

Ye Jing naturally wouldn't forget that there were still two guards!

The two guards were struck dumb, staring at Ye Jing in disbelief.

They initially thought Ye Jing was just an ordinary Alchemist, but they never expected his skills to be so impressive.

Even the most skilled Alchemist in Hundred Rivers City was no match for Ye Jing.

The people around them began to murmur amongst themselves, expressing surprise at Qu Zhou's bet.

What I initially thought was just a simple betting game turned out to be quite different from what I imagined.

The white-haired, white-bearded Pavilion Master remained silent, not expecting Ye Jing to be so adamant that Qu Zhou would honor the bet.

He couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

He actually knew the stakes from the beginning, but he also wanted to use this incident to promote the reputation of his Dan Pavilion.

As a result, he lifted Shi Tuo only to drop it on his own foot.

I've offended the Qu Family by doing this.

Qu Zhou's face turned ashen, and he was filled with resentment.

He never imagined that he would lose so completely in this gamble.

What he found even more unacceptable was that he was forced to lick the ground in public, which was an utter disgrace to him.

However, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Qu Zhou had no choice but to bite the bullet, slowly kneel on the ground, and stick out his tongue to lick the ground.

His movements were stiff, as if he were licking not the ground, but his own humiliation and anger.

Seeing this, the two guards had no choice but to follow Qu Zhou's lead and kneel down to lick the ground.

Their hearts were filled with helplessness and bitterness, but they could only silently endure this humiliation.

Ye Jing stood aside, watching the three of them lick the ground with a blank expression.

He felt no pity or sympathy whatsoever, for he knew they had brought it all upon themselves.

At this moment, the Qu Family, one of the three major Lineage in Hundred Rivers City, was ruthlessly trampled underfoot by an unknown Alchemist.

All of this stems from their self-deprecation and arrogance.

As Qu Zhou and his companions finished licking the ground, the surrounding passersby burst into laughter.

After licking the ground a few times, Qu Zhou and his companions stood up.

"Why are you standing up? I'm telling you to lick this street clean, not just lick it casually." Ye Jing's voice rang in their ears again.

Qu Zhou's face flushed red. He stood up abruptly and shouted angrily at Ye Jing, "Kid, don't go too far!"

Ye Jing smiled faintly and said, "Too much? You all brought this on yourselves."

"If you hadn't looked down on people, if you hadn't been so greedy, would things have turned out this way?"

"Now that they've lost and things are going against them, they're starting to accuse others of going too far. How impressive!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the people around him burst into laughter.

Qu Zhou's face turned a deep purplish-red. He was furious to the extreme, wishing he could unleash his Divine Ability to kill Ye Jing with his sword.

But he knew he couldn't do that.

Because today's events have already spread throughout the entire Hundred Rivers City.

If he dared to lay a hand on Ye Jing, the Qu Family would become the target of public criticism and be despised by everyone.

Thinking of this, Qu Zhou's anger subsided slightly.

He glanced coldly at Ye Jing and said, "Boy, the Qu Family will remember this humiliation. We will repay you handsomely one day!"

After saying that, Qu Zhou turned and left.

The two guards exchanged a glance and quickly followed.

They knew there was no point in staying; if they didn't leave, they'd just have to keep licking the ground.

The surrounding crowd watched the three figures disappear into the distance and began to whisper among themselves.

"Qu Zhou lost to an Alchemist; it's a disgrace to Hundred Rivers City!"

"Who says otherwise? And he even licked the ground; that's an utter disgrace!"

"The Qu Family's reputation is now completely ruined."

Ye Jing listened to the passersby's words and watched Qu Zhou's retreating figure, but did not stop him.

He knew, of course, that it was impossible to get Qu Zhou to lick the entire street clean.

Making him lose face is enough.

As for the Qu Family's retaliation, he wasn't afraid.

He had already sensed that the strongest expert in Hundred Rivers City was Divine Realm Layer Four.

There's nothing to fear.

And they have already achieved their goal.

Pushing someone too far, getting them angry and desperately retaliating, will not benefit you at all.

"Grand Pill Master, you wish to join the Glow Pill Pavilion, right? Please come in quickly!" Zhuang Mo, the Pavilion Master Glow Pill Pavilion, said with a smile.

Although we may have lost the Qu Family as a partner, the dark-skinned, thin young man in front of us has a very promising future.

That's why he only says a few words, just to put on an act.

"Yes, Pavilion Master, but before I go in, let me say a few words." Ye Jing nodded with a smile, then turned to look at the passersby.

"Everyone, I operate with integrity. If you have any pills you'd like me to refine, feel free to come to me."

"If you want to do it, there's nothing I can't do."

"By the way, someone just offered 200,000 for these nine pills. Is there anyone offering a higher price?"

"If it's not there, then it's his!"

Ye Jing's voice was booming, leaving everyone stunned.

Is this an auction being held on the spot?
