Legend of Wyatt

At the critical moment, Maximus Lee finally spoke and agreed to Wyatt Barnes’s almost unreasonable demand.

Of course, Wyatt Barnes’s request couldn’t be entirely deemed as unreasonable.

After all, it was the Joyous Zen Sect that sought him for a pill contest, and they were the ones initiating it, whereas he had been passive all along.

Thus, in deciding the stakes, he had an absolute advantage.

This is my demand. Your Joyous Zen Sect can refuse, and if you do, I’ll assume you’re afraid to compete with me and admit that your sect’s chief immortal alchemist has a lower completion rate for the Rowan Heaven Pill than I do!

That was the strong stance Wyatt Barnes exhibited now.

"Fine! We’ll do as you said!"

With Maximus Lee’s somber response, Wyatt Barnes, who had just taken a step, paused appropriately.

However, despite halting, Wyatt Barnes didn’t turn around. With his back facing Maximus Lee, he asked, "Senior Lee, are you saying that... you’re willing to put up your Joyous Zen Sect’s Monarch Level Immortal Method that excels in both attack and defense as the stakes in my completion rate contest against your sect’s Alchemist Sinclair for the Rowan Heaven Pill?"

"Yes."

Seeing Wyatt Barnes not turn around, Maximus Lee, who had already perceived Wyatt’s ’unease,’ promptly responded without any hesitation to Wyatt Barnes.

Once he finished speaking, he indifferently added, "Alchemist Barnes, our Joyous Zen Sect has already shown enough sincerity... Now, if you still refuse, it can only mean that you’re afraid to compete with our Alchemist Sinclair, and not that Alchemist Sinclair is afraid to compete with you!"

"You..."

At this moment, Wyatt Barnes flipped his purple robe and finally turned around, giving Maximus Lee a deep look, "Are you sure you want your Joyous Zen Sect’s Alchemist Sinclair to compete with me in the completion rate for the Rowan Heaven Pill?"

"You can still change your mind... otherwise, Senior Lee, do you want to reconsider?"

With these words, Wyatt Barnes’s expression remained calm, without emotion, and the gaze he shot towards Maximus Lee was extremely calm, without any turmoil.

"No need to reconsider."

Though Wyatt Barnes no longer revealed a ’flaw,’ Maximus Lee believed Wyatt was pretending to be calm, while a storm was raging in his heart, which he simply did not show.

He naturally assumed that Wyatt Barnes was asking him to reconsider as a scare tactic!

But was Maximus Lee scared off that easily?

What a joke!

Just a young kid not even a hundred years old.

Maximus Lee had crossed more bridges in his life than this young kid had walked roads;

He had consumed more salt than this young kid had rice!

"It’s the people from the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect!"

"And the Celestial Spider Immortal Sect people!"

Suddenly, the crowd erupted in commotion, opening a path to welcome another group.

This group was none other than people led by the Sect Leader of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect, Milena Nangle, with Milana Harrington prominently present.

Additionally, the group from the Celestial Spider Immortal Sect was following, including Annie Campbell.

They had come after hearing about the situation here.

Of course, they mainly came to watch the excitement.

"Wyatt Barnes, sometimes it’s better to step back... I just heard Sect Leader Milena Nangle of Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect say: not only can Joyous Zen Sect’s chief alchemist Dylan Sinclair concoct the Rowan Heaven Pill, but he reportedly produced six pills at once several times!"

When the group from the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect and the Celestial Spider Immortal Sect arrived, a voice timely transmitted into Wyatt Barnes’s ear, reminding him.

The implication was to advise Wyatt Barnes to retreat, as it was unnecessary to truly compete with Dylan Sinclair of the Joyous Zen Sect.

Wyatt Barnes recognized the voice as Annie Campbell’s.

"Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing."

Glancing at Annie Campbell without waiting for a response, Wyatt Barnes withdrew his gaze and looked again at the Elder Ancestor of the Joyous Zen Sect, Maximus Lee.

"Since Senior Lee insists on having your sect’s Alchemist Sinclair compete against me, if I refuse again, it would appear as if I’m truly afraid to compete with Alchemist Sinclair... Fine! I, Wyatt Barnes, accept this wager!"

Regarding Maximus Lee anew, Wyatt Barnes straightforwardly accepted the wager initiated by the Joyous Zen Sect, betting on the Monarch Level Immortal Method and Divine Ability he possessed.

Wyatt Barnes spoke loudly, directly accepting the wager, his straightforwardness momentarily left the Joyous Zen Sect’s group bewildered.

Especially Maximus Lee, who never expected Wyatt Barnes to agree so readily.

"Certainly."

As the Joyous Zen Sect’s group felt somewhat uneasy, Wyatt Barnes’s voice timely sounded, "Before the alchemists from the Immortal Master Alliance arrive, you still have the chance to change your mind."

At this moment, Wyatt Barnes’s gaze fell upon two men approaching from a distance.

They were two middle-aged men who looked identical, precisely the Monarch Grade alchemist Shawn Chapman from the Immortal Master Alliance, and his twin brother Hawk Chapman.

Besides being Hawk Chapman’s twin, he was a formidable ’Ten Directions Immortal Lord,’ the only one at the Pill Tao conference scene today!

Following Wyatt Barnes’s words, everyone looked in the direction of his gaze and spotted Shawn and Hawk Chapman.

However, as Shawn and Hawk approached, the Elder Ancestor of the Joyous Zen Sect, Maximus Lee, did not utter words of retreat.

"Alchemist Chapman!"

"Master Hawk!"

Moments later, Shawn Chapman and Hawk Chapman made their way through the crowd, who had cleared a path for them, and approached Wyatt Barnes and the members of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect, finding out about the recent events.

"Since the two of you wish to compete... would you allow me to be the witness?"

Shawn Chapman glanced at Wyatt Barnes and Dylan Sinclair, smiled slightly, and asked.

"Having Alchemist Chapman as the witness would be excellent."

Wyatt Barnes replied with a smile.

However, Dylan Sinclair did not respond immediately. Instead, he looked to Maximus Lee, the Elder Ancestor of the Joyful Zen Sect, and asked privately, "Elder Ancestor, what should we do now?"

"Alchemist Sinclair, are you confident?"

Maximus Lee responded privately.

"Elder Ancestor, over the past decades, I’ve refined Rowan Heaven Pills multiple times, achieving six pills on several occasions... usually, I don’t produce less than five pills. Today, if I take action, I am over eighty percent confident I can refine six pills."

As Dylan Sinclair continued speaking privately, his tone was filled with strong confidence.

"Unless he can refine more than seven Rowan Heaven Pills... otherwise, he will definitely not win against me in this contest!"

Dylan Sinclair continued privately.

"Seven pills? Alchemist Sinclair, do you think a person who only managed to refine three Rowan Heaven Pills nearly a month ago could now refine seven Rowan Heaven Pills?"

Maximus Lee’s tone, in his next private message, was also laced with a bit of sarcasm.

Of course, this sarcasm was not aimed at Dylan Sinclair but at Wyatt Barnes.

"Alchemist Chapman."

Seeing Shawn Chapman’s gaze fixed on Dylan Sinclair but without a response from Dylan for quite some time, Wyatt Barnes intervened at the right moment: "In today’s matter, Alchemist Sinclair over at the Joyful Zen Sect probably cannot make the final decision."

With Wyatt Barnes’ reminder, Shawn Chapman’s gaze shifted to Maximus Lee, "Elder Lee, do you really wish for the Joyful Zen Sect to compete with the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect’s Alchemist Barnes in terms of Rowan Heaven Pills’ refinement success rate?"

"If you are going to compete, I’ll stay here a while to act as the witness for your pill contest and bet."

As he spoke further, Shawn Chapman was visibly growing impatient.

After all, he’d been waiting here for quite a while.

"Alchemist Chapman, our Joyful Zen Sect will compete."

Recognizing Shawn Chapman’s impatience, Maximus Lee quickly gathered his senses and clearly stated his position.

"Since you’re going to compete, I’ll first confirm the stakes from both sides."

With Maximus Lee’s clear stance, Shawn Chapman nodded and continued, "I’ve heard that the Joyful Zen Sect desires the two Monarch Level Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities that Alchemist Barnes won nearly a month ago from the Fuyang Immortal Sect and Qianye Immortal Sect..."

"And what Alchemist Barnes desires is the Joyful Zen Sect’s comprehensive speed and defense Monarch Level Immortal Method..."

"Is that correct?"

As Shawn Chapman finished speaking, he again glanced between Wyatt Barnes and Maximus Lee, confirming with them.

"Correct."

Both nodded.

Maximus Lee especially glanced at Wyatt Barnes a few more times, but Wyatt Barnes maintained a calm demeanor.

For a moment, Maximus Lee could not help but snort secretly, "Pretentious! I want to see whether you can maintain that facade until the end."

At this moment, Maximus Lee still believed Wyatt Barnes was being pretentious.

"In that case... Alchemists, please start preparing the heating cauldrons."

After receiving the confirmations from Wyatt Barnes and Maximus Lee, Shawn Chapman nodded and simultaneously glanced at Wyatt Barnes and Dylan Sinclair, reminding them to begin.

Immediately, Wyatt Barnes and Dylan Sinclair both took two steps forward, each producing a Top-grade Immortal Artifact pill furnace, and began heating their cauldrons.

"He really intends to compete... isn’t he afraid of losing the two Monarch Level Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities he just won?"

As Wyatt Barnes began heating his cauldron, Annie Campbell couldn’t help but furrow her brows.

However, moments later, she noticed:

Her close friend, ’Milana Harrington,’ standing not far from her, had a calm expression throughout, seemingly unmoved by the events unfolding before them.

"Milana... aren’t you worried he’ll lose those two Monarch Level Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities? You don’t think his actions are reckless?"

Unable to resist, Annie Campbell privately asked Milana Harrington.

"He won’t lose."

Unexpectedly, what Annie Campbell heard was Milana Harrington’s confident reply.

"Won’t lose?"

Annie Campbell was stunned into silence for a moment by Milana Harrington’s response, then came forth with skepticism, "Almost a month ago, he only refined three Rowan Heaven Pills... whereas Dylan Sinclair can refine at least five!"

"Moreover... if Dylan Sinclair has good luck, he might refine six pills!"
