Chapter 73: You’ll See the Real Deal on the Field

Seeing how arrogant Bai Haoyu and the others were, Wu Huaqing had no choice. After all, their strength could not compare to the Bai Clan’s. He could only avoid them for now.

“Forget it, let’s go and look at the other materials.”

However, no matter where they went, they would run into Bai Haoyu. It was as if they were waiting for them. Every time, they would spend a high price to snatch away the item that they wanted. Once or twice, it could be said to be an accident. However, the more times they did it, the less it seemed like a coincidence.

Just as Bai Haoyu was about to cut him off again, Wu Huaqing finally could not hold it in any longer. “May I ask what you are doing, Young Master Bai? It seems that our Supreme Purity Sect has never offended the Bai Clan before. Why are you going against us everywhere?”

Bai Haoyu did indeed have a puzzled expression on his face, “Really? You don’t have to put it that way. It’s just that I happen to have my eyes on something that you guys have your eyes on. So what if you spend more spirit stones to buy it? You guys can also offer a higher price.”

When he said the last sentence, his face revealed a mocking expression. Clearly, there was a hint of provocation in it.

Wu Huaqing sneered and said, “That’s really quite a coincidence. Every time, we happen to bump into you, Young Master Bai.”

Bai Haoyu’s subordinates said in a strange tone, “If you don’t have any spirit stones, you can’t blame others. Doesn’t that Gu Xi know how to concoct pills? Why doesn’t he concoct more pills to sell so that he can exchange them for spirit stones?”

Gu Xi was number one in the Dao of alchemy. However, those words described him to be no different from those of ordinary alchemists on the streets and alleys. It could be said to be a great insult.

For a moment, the Supreme Purity Sect disciples were indignant. “You’ve gone too far! You’ve simply gone too far.”

Just as they were about to go up and argue, they were stopped by Wu Huaqing.

The Bai Clan was a local power in the capital and had close ties with the imperial family. It was simply not something their small Supreme Purity Sect could contend against. Even if Gu Xi was number one in the Dao of alchemy, he could not shake this behemoth.

The people of the Supreme Purity Sect could only watch Bai Haoyu and the others leave. Because they had interfered, they had not bought any particularly precious or rare materials.

“Elder, what should we do now? If this is the case, what can Senior Brother Gu use to compete with those people...”

The people of the Supreme Purity Sect could not help but reveal dejected expressions. “Just how did we offend Bai Haoyu? Why is he finding trouble with us like this?”

Logically speaking, Ou Yechen and the others should be more of a threat to Bai Haoyu. No matter what, they should not be targeting Gu XI. This was something that puzzled everyone.

Someone suggested, “There’s still a little time left. Why don’t we take a look again?”

However, there was not much time left until the start of the competition. Even if they searched, based on Bai Haoyu’s character, he would probably sweep the area and leave them with nothing.

“Forget it, there’s no need.” Gu Xi stood with his hands behind his back. “A true expert can refine a peerless divine weapon even if it’s just a pile of scrap metal.”

Gu Xi’s eyes were dark as he looked at Bai Haoyu’s back as he left. A fierce light flashed across his eyes.

However, he did not know that these words were heard by an old man who was passing by.

In an instant, everyone from the Supreme Purity Sect was stunned on the spot. Those who did not know of his demeanor would have thought that he was a master blacksmith who had appeared out of nowhere. However, no one had ever seen Gu Xi refine a weapon, nor did they know his level of skill.

“Senior Brother Gu is so confident. I think his weapon refining skill is not inferior to pill refining. He even took first place in the Dao of alchemy. Weapon refining is not a problem for him!”

“Come on, Senior Brother Gu! When the competition is later, let’s teach that kid a lesson.”

Perhaps they were influenced by Gu Xi’s imposing manner and Bai Haoyu’s deliberate provocation, which caused the morale of the Taiqing sect to soar. For some reason, they all had blind confidence in Gu Xi.

It seemed that as long as he wanted to, he could do anything.

If Wu Huaqing and the others knew that Gu Xi had not even refined a single Magical Artifact or weapon, they would definitely overturn their current beliefs.

Back at Sword Mountain, the line-up was even stronger. Many people had prepared materials, and some even pulled a horse carriage over. It could be said that it was extremely exaggerated.

The most exaggerated person was Bai Haoyu.

He was sitting on a chair, and a beautiful maidservant was fanning him while serving him tea. Those who did not know better would think that he was here for vacation. Behind him, the materials piled up into a small mountain, causing everyone’s jaws to drop.

At first glance, these materials were worth a fortune. Many people looked over with envy and jealousy.

One of the disciples seemed to have noticed something, and could not help but exclaim, “Quick, look at the person next to Bai Haoyu.”

Bai Haoyu was currently conversing with t, and they seemed very close. It was as if they had noticed Gu Xi and the others’ gazes, the two of them looked over at the same time.

Shockingly, the person standing next to Bai Haoyu was Han Tian, who had been very powerful in the Dao of alchemy competition. He had lost to Gu Xi in the end.

Han Tian was expressionless, but Bai Haoyu once again revealed a provocative and mocking smile. Seeing this, everyone finally understood why Bai Haoyu had repeatedly snatched things from them.

“So Han Tian and Bai Haoyu know each other. Presumably, he’s trying to take revenge for Han Tian, so he’s using such methods. Bah! To think that the Capital’s Bai Clan would stoop so low.”

“If you have the ability to defeat Senior Brother Gu in the competition, you must be ashamed of yourself for using such unpresentable methods.”

They did not expect Bai Haoyu to actually walk toward them. He said, “I heard that you’re very good at pill refining, but refining weapons is different from pill refining. I wonder how good your skill in refining weapons is?”

If it were not for his provocative actions and words, it would have been as simple as a friendly exchange.

Gu Xi smiled faintly. “You’ll find out in the competition later.”
