318: Chapter 318 The Bet

"Pretending to understand when you don't, do you really think you're an Artifact Refining Genius?"

Mo Xingtian sneered at Mo Tianxiao's words.

"Elder Lan's level of Artifact Refining is plain for all to see. As a dignified Venerable Rank Artifact Refiner, is she someone that a Human Race member like you, who knows nothing, can question?"

Mo Xingtian spoke deliberately loudly, ensuring that the surrounding Feather Spirit Clan Elders and even the Clan Chief, Matriarch Lin Ruo, could hear him clearly.

Matriarch Lin Ruo cast her gaze toward Li Ya's side and calmly asked, "What are you discussing? Who is questioning Elder Lan's Artifact Refining level?"

"It's this human! He questioned Elder Lan's Artifact Refining level, saying something like this refining technique would definitely not succeed in crafting an earth law supreme treasure."

Mo Xingtian immediately spoke up, pushing Mo Tianxiao into the limelight. The surrounding Elders and Matriarch Lin Ruo all turned their gazes toward Mo Tianxiao.

There was anger, curiosity, and also calmness.

"Although Elder Lan's Artifact Refining techniques were learned from the Human Race world, her level is definitely stronger than most of the Human Race. Why does Young Friend Mo think Elder Lan will fail?"

Matriarch Lin Ruo's lips curled slightly into a smile, her gaze fixed tightly on Mo Tianxiao.

"Mother, Brother Mo didn't mean it like that!"

Li Ya hurriedly tried to smooth things over for Mo Tianxiao. Regardless of whether Mo Tianxiao was correct or not, saying words like 'failure' at a time like this was unacceptable.

"Li Ya, let him speak for himself." Matriarch Lin Ruo interrupted Li Ya, her gaze remaining on Mo Tianxiao.

Seeing this, Li Ya could only glare fiercely at Mo Xingtian; it was all Mo Xingtian's fault.

Being stared at by Matriarch Lin Ruo, a super powerhouse at the Late Stage of the Sovereign Realm, Mo Tianxiao felt slightly uncomfortable. Although she wore a smile, it didn't seem very friendly.

"Senior, you have misunderstood. I do not believe Elder Lan will fail; I only believe that if one wishes to craft a better earth law supreme treasure, the probability of success would be much higher if the Impurities in the Materials were cleaned more thoroughly.

After all, the more exquisite the Magic Treasure, the higher the requirements for refining, and removing Impurities for purification is the first step of Artifact Refining, as well as an extremely important one.

Elder Lan's Artifact Refining level is beyond doubt; it is definitely at the Venerable Rank, however..."

"However what?" Matriarch Lin Ruo asked.

"Forgive this Junior for speaking bluntly, but if Senior Lan wishes to craft a superior-grade earth law supreme treasure, her technique for handling Materials might still be lacking a little bit."

"Oh? Is that so?"

Matriarch Lin Ruo immediately became interested. She naturally understood Elder Lan Qin's Artifact Refining level; when crafting ordinary earth law supreme treasures, as long as there were sufficient Materials, her success rate was over eighty percent.

But when it came to crafting superior-grade earth law supreme treasures, to tell the truth, this was not her first attempt, but the result was obvious—they had all failed.

However, the only benefit was that after every failed attempt, Elder Lan Qin's level would show significant improvement.

"Senior, please don't listen to him. He is merely at the Early Stage of the Palm Dao Realm; even if he knows a little bit about Artifact Refining, how high could his level possibly be?"

Mo Xingtian was impatient to belittle Mo Tianxiao.

Not only him, but even the surrounding Feather Spirit Clan Elders did not believe Mo Tianxiao's words. One could tell everything through cultivation; could a Cultivator who had just stepped into the Palm Dao Realm possibly be more formidable than the Sovereign Realm Venerable Rank Artifact Refiner, Elder Lan Qin?

It was common knowledge that some professions had cultivation thresholds. For instance, for an Artifact Refiner, without Sovereign Realm cultivation, it was almost impossible to become a Venerable Rank Artifact Refiner.

After all, without sufficient power, even the step of refining and purifying Materials could stump a vast number of people.

"Mother, Brother Mo is joking; he absolutely has no intention of offending Elder Lan. He just loves Artifact Refining too much!"

Li Ya was still thinking of defending Mo Tianxiao.

Setting aside how serious the consequences of questioning a Venerable Rank Artifact Refiner were, even leaving the Artifact Refiner aspect out of it, Elder Lan Qin was also a Sovereign Realm powerhouse.

To be a dignified Sovereign Realm powerhouse and be questioned by a Cultivator at the Early Stage of the Palm Dao Realm was an insult in any regard. The consequences of offending a Sovereign Realm Cultivator were very dangerous.

If it weren't for the fact that Mo Tianxiao was Li Ya's friend, he would likely have been taken away on the spot by the Elders present to await his fate another day.

If it were any other clan, they might have even killed him on the spot.

Matriarch Lin Ruo looked at the outwardly calm Mo Tianxiao, and a trace of curiosity arose in her heart.

"Young Friend Mo is so confident, so let's make a wager. If Elder Lan Qin fails, you win. If you can help Elder Lan Qin successfully refine it, from now on you will be an honored guest of the Feather Spirit Clan, with status equal to an Elder."

"If Elder Lan Qin succeeds, you lose. As for the consequences, according to the Feather Spirit Clan rules for the crime of offending an Elder, you will be imprisoned in the Holy City prison for ten thousand years, during which you cannot move freely. How about that?"

"Mother! Brother Mo is my friend, he..."

"Li Ya, since Senior has the interest to make a wager with this Junior, it is this Junior's honor. This Junior boldly accepts."

Mo Tianxiao interrupted Li Ya's words and accepted the wager.

To possess status equal to a Feather Spirit Clan Elder—even if he lost the wager, he would only be imprisoned for ten thousand years. As long as he didn't die, after ten thousand years, he would still be a fine man.

It is said that riches are sought in danger. If he could win, with the status of a Feather Spirit Clan Elder, at least within the Feather Spirit Star Domain, he could almost walk sideways.

By then, all the alien races in the entire Feather Spirit Star Domain would be his leeks...

"You have guts; then let's wait and see. I also want to see exactly how good my daughter's judgment is."

Matriarch Lin Ruo revealed a satisfied smile. Mo Tianxiao daring to bet with her was enough to show that in terms of courage, this young man was definitely no ordinary person.

A Human Race Cultivator, in territory that didn't belong to the Human Race, betting with the Clan Chief of a super-powerful clan—besides Mo Tianxiao, one probably couldn't find a second person.

"Brat, I'll see how you die in a moment!"

Mo Xingtian secretly sent a voice transmission to Mo Tianxiao, his eyes filled with a sinister, cruel smile.

As long as this damned Human Race was locked in prison, within ten thousand years, he would likely have already coordinated with the Shamo Clan to take down the Feather Spirit Clan and become a Sovereign Realm powerhouse!

By then, wouldn't he be able to crush this guy to death with a flick of his hand?

Thinking of this, the corners of Mo Xingtian's mouth curled into a sinister, cackling smile.

Li Ya and Princess were worried and simultaneously sent secret voice transmissions to Mo Tianxiao.

"Brother Mo, if you lose, you must sincerely apologize to Elder Lan and Mother. I will find a way to protect you!"

"You stinking bastard, is your brain broken? How dare you bet with a Sovereign Realm powerhouse? If you lose, just come back with me and honestly become my servant, you know?"

Hearing this, Mo Tianxiao was incredibly touched. Good friends, they were all good friends. Even Mo Xingtian was so concerned about whether he lived or died; this wager was worth it!

Boom!!

A loud bang made everyone snap back to reality. High in the distant sky, Elder Lan Qin's figure was blown away, and the space in front of her was blasted into a hollow void, with spatial cracks spreading like spiderwebs in all directions.

Matriarch Lin Ruo frowned slightly and waved her hand gently, and the spatial cracks were restored to their original state.

"She really failed??"

"How is it possible? How could this human brat know in advance? Could it be that he really understands Artifact Refining?"

"Impossible! It must be that this brat did something! That's why Elder Lan failed!" Mo Xingtian was ashamed and angry, starting to babble nonsense, which earned him a round of eye-rolls from those around him.

Mo Tianxiao was also somewhat speechless. With so many powerhouses watching, would a small Palm Dao Realm Cultivator like him dare to pull any tricks?
