28 A Challenge for Duel

When they heard that Bo Wen was able to make one perfect grade pill everyone was shocked he is really a genius.

Jiang Chen "So senior Bo Wen could even make a perfect grade pill he is really a genius I guess."

One of the lackeys hearing this started taunting.

"What genius he is a super genius from our Pill Palace he is even getting admitted to Pill Heaven Palace they have noted his alchemist skills and an elder there personally wanted to take him as a disciple."

Jiang Chen "Senior can I take a look at that Perfect Pill."

The senior alchemist was about to pass Jiang Chen the pill to let him have a look but was stopped by Bo Wen.

Bo Wen "He is not qualified to look at my pill yet. I will consider letting him have a look if he can make even one good grade pill." he said taunting. Inside Mo Qingcheng was too furious at this when did he become a super Genius . He can make a perfect grade pill twice or thrice in 100 attempts and how can he compare to her who had even concocted a Extraordinary grade pill.

Jiang Chen just smiled at it he knew his pills well so he didn't say anything.

Jiang Chen "So Senior Mo Wen is the best alchemist among younger generation from Cangtok City pill palace."

Lackey "He is."

Jiang Chen "I hope I can make even one good grade pill so that I can take a look at senior's pill."

Jiang Chen "Uncle Qin can you check my pills please I want to know how I compare with senior Bo Wen."

People from Cangtok City pill palace were furious that a nobody wanted to compare himself with Bo Wen.

Lackey "Even a nobody dares to say that he want to compare himself with brother Bo Wen they don't know the difference between heaven and earth. He deserves a good beating to know that."

Bo Wen just smirked hearing this his greatest rival Mo Qingcheng is not there so he was confident that no one among younger generation is his match in Pill Making.

Mo Qingcheng "Jiang Chen what are you planning to do to Bo Wen."

Jiang Chen "Nothing much."

Uncle Qin and others started inspecting Jiang Chen's pills there was a shock in their face but then they instantly changed their expressions stern and decided to play along and inside they were in joy they are going to get a little payback for the degrading words of Bo Wen. They even invited few of senior alchemists from Cangtok city to confirm the grades of pills.

Bo Wen "SO how did this brat do ?"

Jiang Chen ignored him" Uncle Qin how many of my pills are in good grade I wanted to look at the perfect pill of senior."

Others didn't felt anything wrong in Jiang Chen's question but people who saw Jiang Chen's pills were utterly flabbergasted did this brat really don't know about the grades of his pills.

Uncle Qin "Jiang Chen none of your pills reached the GOOD grade you may not get a chance to look at Super Genius Bo Wen's perfect grade pill." Bo Wen felt something is wrong in that tone. Others were just smiling it was expected how can first time grading alchemist concoct a good grade pill.

Jiang Chen "Hmm. I couldn't meet the requirements I can't help it. Did I meet the required no. of average pills according to cangtok city grading system."

Uncle Qin " Your average pills didn't meet the requirement."

Bo Wen "So this proud brat couldn't even make 4 average grade pills. So how are his pills graded just speak out their is no need for further interference."

The Alchemist who was showing Jiang Chen pills was the first to speak "Jiang Chen was able to concoct 28 pills from 30 ingredients he concocted 10 healing pills ,9 clearing pills and 9 Soul refining pills .Considering all the grades of his pills Jiang Chen can be considered as a 9th Grade Human ranked alchemist with closed cauldron."

When others heard this they were dumbfounded there was a pin drop of silence in the room.

Bo Wen "Did I hear it wrong you said that brat is a 9th grade Human ranked alchemist."

Uncle Qin "That is exactly what we said. Even seniors from Cangtok city pill palace agree with it."

Few of them nodded and Nan Kong looked confused at them.

Bo Wen "How is it possible he is just a beginner he was coming to grading first time."

Jiang Chen "Uncle Qin what are grades of my pills?" he asked giving a confused expression too.

The Alchemist who was helping Jiang Chen "Jiang Chen all your healing pills are of Perfect grade and you had 100% success ratio in making Healing pills with no impurities at all. Then all 9 of your clearing pills also hit a Perfect grade with 90% success rate in making them. Then coming to your soul refining pills of the 9 pills you made seven are of perfect grade and remaining two pills were better than perfect grade and Pill Masters from Cangtok City said they can be considered as EXTRAORDINARY grade." he said with out stopping his breath.

Uncle Qin "Jiang Chen if you had made those two failed pills to at least reach good grade you can be considered a Grade 10 Human Ranked alchemist."

Bo Wen almost collapsed hearing this how can this be possible when he felt that he was able to somehow overcome an arch Rival of his he found another Monster even Mo Qingcheng could not get such a perfect result the least grade of his pills was a perfect grade the thing he was most proud of that he could make a perfect pill with 1/50 success rate was shattered by Jiang Chen with like 100% success rate.

Bo Wen "You are all lying how can a beginner make an extraordinary grade pill that to two of them in a single closing . Even that traitor Mo Qingcheng couldn't make two Extraordinary pills in one round."

Mo Qingcheng was bursting with laughter inside it is true that she may not be able to replicate Jiang Chen's result now but once she changes her cultivation method she sure would be able to do it and she can even do better than that. Jiang Chen was too mean this time.

Nan Kong "Let me take a look at his pill I want to check them."

Uncle Qin "They are already verified by your colleagues you can ask them. These pills belong to Jiang Chen." Uncle Qin said passing Jiang Chen's pills back to him.

Jiang Chen " So I have more than 20 pills of perfect grade to examine them I was worried that I might not be able to see a perfect grade pill."

Jiang Chen "I think making a perfect grade pill is no big deal .I even made two extraordinary grade pills. I am just a beginner ." Jiang Chen spoke out loud and clear to Bo Wen.

Bo Wen "That is a lie you are just a brat at Martial Disciple realm how can you make 28 perfect grade pills."

Jiang Chen "It is exactly 26 perfect grade pills and 2 extraordinary grade pills." Jiang Chen corrected Bo Wen politely. It angered Bo Wen even more.

Then Jiang Chen asked whether he can leave Pill Palace now.

Then one of the senior alchemists from Cangtok City stopped Jiang Chen. Mo Qingcheng identified him as Roe Fen one of the good guys.

Roe Fen "Junior Jiang you have great skills in Alchemy why don't you join Cangtok city Pill palace you will get greater opportunities to improvement there than in this remote location."

People from River Spring City just laughed at this how can they hope to recruit Jiang Chen that easily .Even they dropped their attempts even after knowing the grades of Jiang Chen's pills Jiang Chen is not just a genius alchemist ,but also a genius weapon maker along with extraordinary knowledge of Martial Techniques.

Jiang Chen stopped for a while as if thinking something. Everyone felt Jiang Chen may consider joining .

Mo Qingcheng "Jiang Chen you are not thinking of joining right?"

Jiang Chen "I will only visit the place when it is getting destroyed."

Jiang Chen " Senior is that senior the no.1 genius from your Cangtok City pill palace?"

Roe Fen "Yes he is for now."

Jiang Chen "Then I am not interested in joining."

Roe Fen "You should not let you small dispute hinder your future path. I can settle the dispute between you two if you agree to join."

Jiang Chen "Senior you are mistaken I am not making my decision based on small argument . That senior is the greatest genius from your Pill Palace and now you see I am already a 9th grade Human Ranked alchemist and he is just a PETTY 7th grade human ranked alchemist there is huge difference between us and he can like never catch up to me. If what uncle Qin said is true I am very close to becoming a 10th grade alchemist. So I will become no.1 in your Pill palace if I joined."

Roe Fen "True. So what is your problem then."

Jiang Chen "A good friend is worth thousand books. This statement stands for rivals too. We learn more from a competitor than a teacher. Teacher can only guide us to some extent who really can teach us is a good friend or enemy. But I don't find any one worthy to be my friend or enemy in your pill palace ,he was too proud with just one Perfect grade pill while my pill's minimum grade is a Perfect grade so what do I have to learn from him nothing so it is not worth much for me in it."

Everyone who heard this were dumbstruck then thinking for a while it made sense. Jiang Chen has no adversary in the younger generation of them so why will he join it will only make him dull.

Jiang Chen "If you had any better genius at least in 8th grade there was a chance for catch up and make a little competition. He said some person could make Extraordinary grade pills is that senior is still there ?"

Roe Fen "Mo Qingcheng she is not there she betrayed the Pill Palace ."

Jiang Chen thought for a while and replied "I am not interested in joining your pill palace . I don't want to speak further about it. Thank you senior for your good will." Jiang Chen was about to leave then he saw a familiar figure standing before him but his face was ashen in color.

Bo Wen "You humiliated me on purpose? You called me a petty alchemist ?I will give you a befitting reply for the humiliation."

Jiang Chen "I was just stating my opinion."

Bo Wen "So you think you can get over with it that easily. I challenge you to a duel.Do you have guts to accept it."

Jiang Chen "Based on Alchemy skills or Martial Techniques?" Jiang Chen lured him on purpose obviously he will not dare to show his alchemy skills before Jiang Chen.

Bo Wen was in deep thought thinking about this he is clearly no match for Jiang Chen in alchemy skills so he can rely only on martial techniques .He is a 3rd stage Martial Artist while Jiang Chen is 9th stage martial Disciple so he has clear advantage over Jiang Chen.

Bo Wen "I heard you were a genius in Martial Techniques I will see how much of a genius you are in three days. It would be life and death duel."

Jiang Chen's expression changed color hearing about life and death duel. Seeing this Bo Wen's confidence increased.

Jiang Chen "Is it necessary for it to be Life and death duel?"

Bo Wen "What are you no more confident in your martial techniques? Just say whether you agree or not?"

Everyone who heard this were angry at Bo Wen he didn't have any shame to challenge a Martial Disciple for life and death match . People from Cangtok Palace were smirking as they got an opportunity to get rid of Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen "Ok I agree in three days we will have a life and death duel."

Mo Qingcheng "Jiang Chen you agreed to the request that you will let me kill him."

Jiang Chen "Hmm."
