The disciples of the Law Enforcement Workshop were not young, having spent many years in arduous cultivation but still unable to enter the Inner Sect, making them elite members of the Outer Sect.

The leader, appearing to be in his forties, approached Yu Xian and spoke with authority, "Are you the one reselling Spirit Herb Workshop's spiritual herbs, trading with rogue cultivators outside to earn spirit stones?"

Yu Xian replied calmly, "Brother Zhou, this is slander. I have not resold any spiritual herbs."

"Brother Zhou! He's lying!"

Senior Brother Gao shouted, "If he wasn't reselling, why did he buy hundreds of spiritual herbs in three months? Does he think he can practice alchemy? Ridiculous! Brother, you must investigate thoroughly!"

"I am Zhou Wen from the Law Enforcement Workshop. Boy, if you're reselling spiritual herbs, confess now, and you might receive a lighter punishment. If I find out, according to the Outer Sect's laws, your dantian will be destroyed, and you'll be expelled from the mountain!"

Zhou Wen's gaze was cold and threatening.

Yet Yu Xian still shook his head and calmly said, "Brother Zhou, I really haven't resold any spiritual herbs. They are merely slandering me."

"Then why did you buy a hundred sets of Minor Spirit Pill herbs, a hundred and sixty sets of Returning to Origin Pill herbs, and three hundred sets of Blood-Bursting Pill herbs in three and a half months? What were they for!?"

Zhou Wen suddenly shouted, "How do you explain this!?"

The surroundings fell into an unusual silence.

Senior Brother Gao wore a cold smile, and in the distance, Zhang Quluo also showed a sinister expression.

Lü Chunchun was dumbfounded, completely unaware of what was happening.

"Heh..."

Yu Xian chuckled and said lightly, "Although I don't need to explain to you, I really don't want to waste words. I bought these herbs for alchemy, of course."

"Alchemy?"

Everyone was taken aback, unable to help but look at Yu Xian's attire.

Isn't this the attire of a Hundred Mines Workshop disciple?

"Ridiculous!"

Senior Brother Gao pointed at Yu Xian and shouted, "You're just a mining laborer from the Hundred Mines Workshop, with nothing but brute strength. You practice alchemy? What kind of pills can you make? Do you even know alchemy? How dare you lie in front of Brother Zhou? Brother Zhou, he deserves an extra punishment!"

Zhou Wen's expression turned completely cold. Initially, he had some reservations about whether this was slander and needed thorough investigation.

But Yu Xian's words made him believe that Yu Xian was indeed reselling Spirit Herb Workshop's spiritual herbs!

How could a mining disciple from the Hundred Mines Workshop possibly practice alchemy?

Alchemy requires a tremendous amount of effort to learn!

Zhou Wen looked at Yu Xian, coldly saying, "You, come with us to the Law Enforcement Workshop."

"Why?"

Yu Xian's gaze also turned cold as he looked at Zhou Wen, "I've already told you the purpose and use of the herbs I bought. Why should I go to the Law Enforcement Workshop? Just because you say so? Then can I also say that you are my accomplice, helping me resell spiritual herbs!?"

"You scoundrel!"

Zhou Wen's expression changed instantly, full of anger, as he shouted, "How dare you slander me!?"

Yu Xian showed no fear, retorting, "And aren't they slandering me!?"

Zhou Wen's eyelids twitched as he looked at Yu Xian, wishing he could slap him, gritting his teeth, "Then explain, why buy so many herbs?"

"I said, for alchemy! Alchemy!"

Yu Xian shouted angrily, "Why can't I practice alchemy!?"

"It's laughable! The facts are clear, and you're still arguing?"

Senior Brother Gao said sarcastically, "A mining laborer, oh my, saying why can't I practice alchemy? Do you think arguing will help!?"

Yu Xian shifted his gaze from Zhou Wen to Senior Brother Gao.

Senior Brother Gao met Yu Xian's gaze with malice and pride.

He had been humiliated by Yu Xian, a great disgrace!

The key was that he couldn't use spell techniques! Otherwise, his crime would be greater!

It was hateful that his late Qi Condensation strength was beaten by this mining laborer!

He wished he could kill Yu Xian!

"Are you saying I can't practice alchemy?"

Yu Xian's voice began to calm, as the killing intent in his heart began to brew!

"You can't do shit!"

Senior Brother Gao sneered, "These words might fool others, but not me? I've been in the Alchemy Workshop for over ten years, don't I know how hard alchemy is? It's a laughable excuse!"

"What if I can?"

Yu Xian continued, "What then?"

"I said you can't."

Senior Brother Gao scoffed, "Stop trying to stall for time! Brother Zhou, if he doesn't go, just arrest him!"

"Ridiculous, you say I can't, so I can't?"

Yu Xian said coldly, "Then I say you're a scoundrel, are you a scoundrel?"

Senior Brother Gao's face turned red as he glared at Yu Xian, "You're the scoundrel!"

Yu Xian shook his head, his expression indifferent, "I don't have time to argue with a scoundrel like you. You say I can't practice alchemy, I just ask you! If I can, what then!?"

"If you can! I'll chop my head off for you!"

Senior Brother Gao was completely enraged, shouting, "What if you can't!?"

"If I can't, I'll chop my head off for you too."

Yu Xian nodded, his voice cold, "Everyone heard it, I'm betting my life with him, whether I can or can't, we'll see at the Alchemy Workshop, today, one must die!"

With that, Yu Xian strode out!

Zhou Wen frowned, if Yu Xian really could practice alchemy, then all suspicions would vanish.

But Senior Brother Gao felt a sudden panic, gritting his teeth, "Alchemy isn't just throwing herbs into a furnace and calling it alchemy! You have to at least produce a mid... high-quality pill to be considered capable of alchemy!"

"Fine! A high-quality pill! If I can't make it, I die, if I can, you die!"

Yu Xian didn't look back, his voice resolute!

"Let's go, take a look."

Zhou Wen stepped forward.

Everyone looked at each other and followed Zhou Wen out of the Grand Hall.

Only Senior Brother Gao's face turned pale, his heart inexplicably filled with panic.

But he refused to believe that a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy could produce a high-quality pill!

Gritting his teeth, Senior Brother Gao stomped his foot and quickly followed.

The Spirit Herb Workshop and Alchemy Workshop were not far apart, and after a stick of incense, Yu Xian and the group arrived at the Alchemy Workshop.

The arrival of such a large group naturally attracted a lot of attention.

Several disciples from the Alchemy Workshop immediately recognized Senior Brother Gao and his group, seeing their miserable appearance, they laughed, "Gao Cong, what's up with you guys? Got into a fight with disciples from another workshop again? Judging by your looks, you seem to have suffered a big loss! Hahaha!"

Gao Cong's face was cold, and he didn't speak.

Instead, Yu Xian spoke up, "Rent me a Heaven-grade Alchemy Room!"

"Rent an Alchemy Room!? Are you planning to secretly practice alchemy in there?"

Gao Cong sneered, "Do it right here in the Grand Hall, in front of everyone!"

Alchemy, of course, requires a quiet environment.

But in this Grand Hall, with so many people and eyes watching, the success rate of alchemy would decrease by thirty percent!

Yet Yu Xian nodded, "Very well, let you die convinced! Bring the alchemy furnace, charcoal, and Pill-Tempering Spirit Liquid!"

Gao Cong's eyes twitched, gritting his teeth, "I see it's you who will die!"

The many disciples of the Alchemy Workshop were puzzled, having no idea what was going on.

However, Zhou Wen said calmly, "The Law Enforcement Workshop is investigating a case, go get the alchemy furnace, charcoal, and Pill-Tempering Spirit Liquid, let him practice alchemy in public to prove his innocence."

Hearing it was a case from the Law Enforcement Workshop, the many disciples of the Alchemy Workshop were shocked, several of them quickly nodded, "So it's the senior brothers from the Law Enforcement Workshop, please wait! Please wait! We'll get it right away!"

Soon, two people quickly ran over with the alchemy furnace, placing it in the center of the Grand Hall, and took out bamboo charcoal and Pill-Tempering Spirit Liquid from their storage pouches, placing them on either side of the furnace.

A simple alchemy setup was complete.

"Go ahead! Right here! Let everyone see if you can practice alchemy!"

Gao Cong sneered, full of mockery.

At the same time, the disciples buying elixirs and those from the Alchemy Workshop began to gather around!

Someone practicing alchemy in public? In the Grand Hall of the Alchemy Workshop?

This was a rare sight, worth checking out!

Unknowingly, a hundred or so people had gathered around, making it seem even more lively than the grand selection competition outside.

Yu Xian nodded, scanning the crowd, and said loudly, "Fellow senior brothers and sisters, Gao Cong and I have made a life-and-death bet. If I can't practice alchemy, I die! If I can, he dies! The pill quality must be high-grade to count as capable, below high-grade, counts as incapable! All the senior brothers and sisters present are witnesses, later, regardless of who loses, if they refuse to die, I hope the senior brothers and sisters will help them to die!"

The crowd was in an uproar!

Even Gao Cong's face turned pale instantly!

This kid... he's so resolute!?

Even if he can practice alchemy, isn't he afraid of failing!?

But after Yu Xian finished speaking, he walked straight to the alchemy furnace, checked it, then stepped back three steps, and sat cross-legged!

With a wave of his hand, a set of Blood-Bursting Pill herbs was neatly arranged in front of him!
