Chapter 2649: The Number One Genius of Tiannan!

"Ge Ling, Fuxi Pure Yang Pill, sixth-grade peak! Dingnan City, wins!"

When Cui Tong said these words, his expression became noticeably unnatural.

Clearly, even he found it unbelievable.

Once could be a coincidence.

But the second time, Ge Ling, with overwhelming talent, overpowered Zuo Fang and took first place—that was no coincidence!

Just now, Cui Tong had personally announced that Zuo Fang's Nine Cauldrons Supreme Void Pill had reached the upper sixth-grade level.

That is to say, Zuo Fang had performed at his highest level this time!

Yet he still lost!

Sixth-grade peak was already on the line of seventh-grade, higher than Zuo Fang's mark.

Even Ge Ling himself found the result somewhat unbelievable.

After the first round, he had become more familiar with Ye Yuan's guidance.

So this time, he alchemized with greater ease.

The result did not disappoint him.

"He won again! It's really not a coincidence!"

"Heavens, this is too amazing! A second-grade celestial alchemist actually has the ability to turn stone into gold, allowing Master Ge to make such a huge leap in such a short time."

"Who on earth is that young man? Why have I never heard of him?"

…

Suddenly, that arrogant, foolish-acting Ye Yuan became mysterious in their eyes.

No one regarded him as an ordinary Great Extreme Heaven expert anymore.

The gazes of Cui Tong and the other two also turned toward him.

Su Yi laughed loudly: "Sun Yunjing, you said it was luck just now? Ge Ling's luck is really good! Hahaha..."

He was now at the peak of smugness.

At every Nine Cities Celestial Alchemy Meeting, he was the object of ridicule among the city lords, especially Sun Yunjing.

Now, being repeatedly slapped in the face gave him the feeling of a peasant turning over and singing.

That kind of exhilaration was truly beyond words.

Looking at Su Yi's "smug" face, Sun Yunjing felt an urge to slap him.

But he was frustrated now!

How did Ge Ling suddenly become so powerful?

He was utterly baffled!

"City Lord, please give me another chance! This time, I will make Ge Ling know his place!" Zuo Fang came before Sun Yunjing and said through gritted teeth.

Clearly, he still refused to give up.

He was from Tiannan City and usually looked down on Ge Ling's unorthodox background.

Now, being surpassed by someone he despised, how could he swallow this?

But Sun Yunjing clearly was not going to give him another chance.

"Zuo Fang, you've worked hard. Rest for a while. Leave the rest to Jiang Li." Sun Yunjing said indifferently.

"City Lord!" Zuo Fang protested.

"Zuo Fang, haven't you noticed? Ge Ling's improvement this time is even greater than before! I don't know how that kid did it, but he truly has the ability to turn the rotten into the magical! If I'm not mistaken, next time Ge Ling alchemizes, he might break through to seventh-grade! Then you'll lose even worse!" Jiang Li spoke up.

Zuo Fang shuddered and fell silent.

Jiang Li patted his shoulder and said calmly: "Go rest. Leave the rest to me."

Zuo Fang went to rest with intense reluctance.

At the auction, Ge Ling's Fuxi Pure Yang Pill fetched a sky-high price of 600,000 celestial crystals, dominating the entire event.

At this moment, Jiang Li, standing beside Sun Yunjing, slowly rose.

As soon as he moved, it immediately caused a stir.

"It's Master Jiang Li! He's finally appearing!"

"Master Jiang Li is known as the number one genius in alchemy of Tiannan City. I've heard that many fourth-grade celestial alchemists are not as skilled as he is!"

"I didn't expect he would be invited by Shuilan City. City Lord Sun must have paid a huge price."

…

Seeing Jiang Li rise, Su Yi's expression also turned unpleasant.

Even Ge Ling became restless.

Ye Yuan sensed everyone's tension and was somewhat surprised.

"Is he very strong?" Ye Yuan asked curiously.

Ge Ling nodded emphatically: "Very strong! In front of him, I have no chance! Jiang Li is known as the number one genius of Tiannan. Although he is only a third-grade celestial alchemist now, in terms of skill, he already surpasses many fourth-grade celestial alchemists! I thought he was just invited by City Lord Sun to hold the line, but I didn't expect him to personally compete! To be blunt, even if he sat on the judges' panel, no one would object!"

Jiang Li's reputation was extremely high; when he joined Shuilan City, it caused a sensation.

No one would have thought that the number one genius of Tiannan City would join the border city of Shuilan.

The third-grade celestial alchemists present, though each held themselves in high regard, dared not act presumptuously before Jiang Li.

Ye Yuan just nodded slightly, thinking that no wonder someone as arrogant as Zuo Fang obediently went to rest.

But he didn't care much. No matter how strong Jiang Li, this number one genius, was, he couldn't be stronger than Cang Yongning.

And even if he really was stronger than Cang Yongning, Ye Yuan didn't care.

The outcome of Dingnan City had nothing to do with him.

He had only acted earlier because Sun Yunjing kept provoking him.

Now that the other party had shut up, Ye Yuan naturally had no interest in acting.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Li walked around and came before Ye Yuan, smiling: "Little brother, any interest in coming down and playing a round?"

Buzz!

The whole venue erupted!

"Master Jiang Li is challenging a second-grade celestial alchemist!"

"Isn't this bullying?"

"When Master Jiang Li refines second-grade celestial pills, they are always at the upper ninth-grade level. How can this be compared?"

…

Although Ye Yuan was very mysterious, he was still insignificant before Jiang Li's prestige.

Jiang Li's strength was deeply ingrained in people's minds.

Ye Yuan could give casual guidance, but Jiang Li was someone who could defeat fourth-grade celestial alchemists!

"Not interested!" Ye Yuan directly refused.

"Heh, it seems little brother only knows how to talk on paper. I overestimated you." Jiang Li was unperturbed and said with a faint smile.

Ye Yuan glanced at him and said calmly: "You don't need to provoke me. I won't accept because you're not worthy of my action."

Whoosh!

The whole venue was in an uproar!

This guy was simply too arrogant!

He probably didn't know who Jiang Li was, did he?

Jiang Li was usually composed, but upon hearing this, his face darkened.

"Heh, kid, you think too highly of yourself! Even a fourth-grade celestial alchemist wouldn't dare say that in front of me!" Jiang Li said grimly.

"Fourth-grade celestial alchemist? Heh, if you want me to act, fine, but you'd better be mentally prepared. If I act, your Shuilan City will have no more chances." Ye Yuan said with a meaningful smile.

His words were full of disdain.

In Ye Yuan's eyes, a fourth-grade celestial alchemist really didn't amount to much.

In the Alchemy Pavilion, fourth-grade celestial alchemists would respectfully address him as "Master Ye" when they saw him.

Jiang Li's eyes turned cold: "Is that so? I'm mentally prepared. I'd like to see how Shuilan City will have no more chances!"

Ye Yuan shook his head with a wry smile, slowly stood up, and said calmly: "If you want to see, then let me show you."
