148: Chapter 148: Where's the Pill Bell? Let's take a look!

Xiao Yuan was leaning against the doorframe, looking as though he had just woken up, and even let out a yawn.

He had been knocked out by that small bell. Having just woken up and preparing to check on the situation of the small bell, he heard someone outside cursing at him.

Hearing that it was Chen Yin clamoring outside, a coldness settled in his heart, and he walked out.

Seeing her own Disciple finally come out, Yun Qingwan pressed a hand to her forehead, utterly speechless.

This brat probably didn't even know he had lost yet, right? How could he still be so calm? She didn't even know what to say.

However, remembering that this was her Disciple, she could only think about finding a way later to protect this brat!

Seeing this scene, Leng Youyue and Lin Zhirou were filled with anxiety!

In truth, they would have preferred for Xiao Yuan to run away; if he had done that, there would still be room for maneuver.

But now, Xiao Yuan had delivered himself right to their doorstep. It was over now; having his arm broken was likely unavoidable for Xiao Yuan.

If that happened, how could they ask him to perform Alchemy for them? Thinking of this, they exchanged glances, their gazes resolute, and the thought of finding a way to protect Xiao Yuan arose within them!

Peak Master Yun Ruowei sighed, thinking to herself what a pity it was.

Today, there would probably be no way for her Junior Sister's Disciple to clean up this mess! She was also thinking that if push came to shove, she would just protect him!

Seeing Xiao Yuan, Chen Yin's eyes lit up, and he immediately rushed over.

"Xiao Yuan! You're finally willing to come out!" He tilted his head back triumphantly, "Let me tell you, you've lost! Now, fulfill the wager!"

Xiao Yuan blinked, somewhat dumbfounded. The two sides hadn't even verified the results yet, so how could he have lost?!

"Lost? Who says so?"

Sun Yue jumped out to back him up: "Nonsense! Junior Brother Chen stirred the nine rings of the dan bell, and the entire Jade Maiden Palace knows about it! Isn't that enough to beat you?"

Xiao Yuan wore a look of perplexity: "The nine rings of the dan bell? Him?"

He looked Chen Yin up and down with a gaze as if he were looking at an idiot.

He remembered that the ringing of the bell seemed to be related to him. He clearly remembered that after his Medicinal Pill was elevated by the creation cauldron to surpass the perfection grade, an abnormal change had occurred!

Moreover, speaking of the dan bell, could that small bell inside his Dantian actually be the dan bell?

However, at this moment, he discovered that the dan bell that had entered his Dantian had actually been sucked into the space of the creation cauldron by it.

On this side, Chen Yin was infuriated by his gaze: "What do you mean?"

Xiao Yuan said leisurely: "My meaning is that since you claim you've won, you must have some basis for it, right? Didn't the wager agree that we would compare whose Medicinal Pill was refined better? Take out the Medicinal Pill you refined, and let's compare!"

Although Xiao Yuan vaguely felt that the nine rings of the dan bell were related to him, and furthermore, that dan bell might be the small bell that entered his Dantian.

Yet he could clearly see that this dan bell was a good thing, and it would be best for him not to expose it for the time being.

As for why Chen Yin claimed that he was the one who stirred the nine rings of the dan bell, ghost knows how this fellow rationalized it in his own mind.

However, if this fellow could muddy the waters, it would be very advantageous for him!

Of course, making him admit defeat just like that was also impossible!

Chen Yin sneered: "Compare Medicinal Pills? I triggered the nine rings of the dan bell, is there any need to compare?"

Xiao Yuan scratched his head: "So... what are the nine rings of the dan bell?" While playing dumb, he genuinely wanted to know what on earth the nine rings of the dan bell and the dan bell actually were!

The crowd: "..."

Did this guy really not know, or was he pretending not to know?

Chen Yin proudly said: "The nine rings of the dan bell represent the highest achievement in Alchemy! Throughout the history of the Jade Maiden Palace, being able to trigger a single ring is already Heaven-Defying, and now, I have achieved nine rings! Having obtained the recognition of the dan bell as its master, based on this alone, I have won! Do you understand now?!"

Xiao Yuan nodded, seeming to understand yet not quite: "Oh... So, do you have the dan bell?"

He vaguely understood!

Then, he delivered a fatal blow. Since the dan bell was with him, Chen Yin would definitely not be able to produce it.

Although this fellow had muddied the waters, Xiao Yuan could not let him win against him so inexplicably under the banner of the nine rings of the dan bell.

Not to mention, he had no intention of letting Chen Yin off!

Chen Yin was stunned: "What?"

What dan bell? Wasn't this thing up on the peak of Dan Peak? He hadn't even had time to ask the Dan Peak Master for it yet!

Xiao Yuan spread his hands: "Didn't you say you triggered the nine rings of the dan bell? And that the dan bell recognized you as its master! Since that's the case, take it out and let us see it, so I can be convinced."

As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding crowd instantly fell silent.

That's right!

Didn't the dan bell fly into the Alchemy room to recognize its master?

Since Chen Yin claimed that he triggered it, the dan bell should be in his hands!

Everyone's gazes snapped uniformly toward Chen Yin.

Chen Yin was stunned for a moment, then looked at Peak Master Yun Ruowei as if it were only natural.

"Peak Master Yun, shouldn't the dan bell be with you? You have to give it to me!"

He wore a look of anticipation, and even seemed somewhat impatient.

Peak Master Yun Ruowei: "..."

The entire scene was dead silent.

The crowd widened their eyes, looking at Chen Yin in disbelief.

What? What did you say?

The dan bell... has to be asked from the Peak Master?

The triumph on Sun Yue's face froze. He leaned close to Chen Yin's ear and whispered a reminder: "Junior Brother Chen, didn't the dan bell recognize you as its master? Take it out."

Chen Yin said right-mindedly: "I didn't get it! Shouldn't the Peak Master give it to me?"

He looked at Peak Master Yun Ruowei, his gaze practically oozing sincerity: "Peak Master, I triggered the nine rings of the dan bell. According to the rules, the dan bell should belong to me. You can't swallow it for yourself!"

He spoke with complete righteous confidence, wearing a smug and arrogant expression. That look of his made it seem as though the dan bell should rightfully belong to him!

Hearing this, Peak Master Yun Ruowei choked on her breath, almost unable to stop herself from striking someone.

This fellow... what does he mean?! Asking her for the dan bell, you must be joking!

Or could it be... this fellow was impersonating the person who caused the nine rings of the dan bell to chime.

However, she still held a glimmer of hope, thinking that perhaps this brat simply didn't know how the dan bell recognized its master!

She took a deep breath and slowly began to explain: "Chen Yin, the dan bell is a Spirit Treasure and possesses its own spiritual intelligence. Since it has recognized its master, it will fly over by itself. There is no need for me to give it to you."

Chen Yin was dumbfounded.

"Fly... fly over?" he muttered, "But I didn't see anything fly over..."

The surrounding crowd looked at each other in dismay. Everyone was dumbstruck! Are you fucking serious with those words?!

Just a moment ago, you swore up and down that you triggered the nine chimes of the dan bell and gained its recognition as its master, yet motherfucker, now you're telling me the dan bell didn't look for you?!

But all of us saw it crystal clear; the dan bell flew right into the area of the Alchemy rooms. It definitely entered the body of someone doing Alchemy in there.

And now you're telling me the dan bell didn't fly over?! I... fuck...

Recovering their senses, someone immediately muttered softly: "So... the dan bell didn't recognize him?"

"Then what was he shouting about just now?"

"Turns out he was just getting high on his own supply..."

The triumph on Chen Yin's face gradually vanished, replaced by bewilderment and panic.

What... what the fuck does this mean?

He looked at Sun Yue, who also wore a bewildered expression. Then, Sun Yue looked anxiously at Chen Yin! You fucking said the dan bell triggered nine rings and recognized its master, so bring it the fuck out!

But Chen Yin still wore a look of utter astonishment and dumbfoundedness!
