"No, you know that’s not what I meant. I just feel like... losing just like that, isn’t it a bit too... you know?"

Tianxian didn’t dare say those few words.

Because it was too embarrassing.

This loss was way too pathetic, wasn’t it?

He didn’t even struggle at all.

Wenping shrugged, looking completely indifferent, and said, "What are you in such a rush for? Does it look like Master Zi Ran is in a rush?"

Tianxian hurriedly turned his head to look at Zi Ran.

Good grief.

Zi Ran also had a very calm expression.

"If you lose, you’ll have to leave the Primordial Yang Domain, you know. The Thousand Crafts Sect’s trading houses are spread all across the Primordial Yang Domain!" Tianxian quickly reminded Wenping.

Wenping still didn’t care at all; he just chuckled, then let his gaze fall toward the Star Sea Sect’s group.

He had noticed long ago.

Wei Tong of the Star Sea Sect hadn’t come today.

As time passed, Luanwen finished smelting the thirty pieces of Celestial Materials, then fused them perfectly into a single Vortex Diagram board. With those thirty Celestial Materials, he had removed a full seventy percent of the dregs!

It could be called perfect!

If they wanted to go even further, they would probably need a Five-Spin Vortex Divine Artisan to step in.

After all, for a Four Vortex Divine Artisan, being able to remove seventy percent of the dregs was already the limit.

"First round, Luanwen of the Thousand Crafts Sect wins!"

In the end, Yan Lai calmly announced the result.

Because he’d gotten his hopes up for nothing.

So he didn’t have any good feelings toward him now.

He’d originally thought Zi Ran would use a Vortex Skill not weaker than Black Finger’s, maybe even stronger than Black Finger’s.

Who would’ve thought it would end like this.

"Second round, Refinement!"

"Both sides, enter the Vortex Dueling Platform!"

As the words fell, Celestial Horror, accompanied by cheers, walked slowly onto the Vortex Dueling Platform, then glanced at Zi Ran, a hint of disdainful laughter appearing on his face.

"I may not have cultivated any of the Ten Divine Arts, but when it comes to refinement skills, in the Primordial Yang Domain only Lin Yehong is on par with me. Looking across the entire You Country, there aren’t many who can beat me. If that’s all you’ve got, you might as well just admit defeat now."

As he finished, Zi Ran wasn’t angry; instead, she laughed.

"Child, you’re quite humorous."

Celestial Horror’s brow twitched, and he said angrily, "Old hag, you think I’m joking with you? You really won’t cry until you see the coffin!"

Zi Ran just shook her head helplessly and didn’t respond.

But seeing their master insulted, H Lan and Bainian Xiang were having none of it; they stood straight up and started cursing back.

The people of the Thousand Crafts Sect immediately stood and cursed back at them, and then were scared into sitting down again by a simultaneous glare from Tianxian and Wenping.

Right after, Tianxian hurriedly asked, "Sect Leader Wen, be straight with me—does Master Zi Ran have this round in the bag?"

"Yes." Wenping didn’t hide it, and simply laid it bare. "This round should be the same as the last one, nothing much to see."

"Huh?"

Tianxian was dumbfounded again.

They weren’t going to lose easily again, were they?

Just as he was about to keep asking, the Celestial Materials in front of Celestial Horror and Zi Ran’s tables had already been laid out.

Same as before, the City Lord’s Mansion had been extremely strict: they only provided one hundred and twenty Celestial Materials. Adding the previous thirty, that just barely met the minimum requirements for a Four Vortex Vortex Map.

Celestial Horror made his move immediately, taking out one hundred and twenty translucent spheres from his Storage Ring. The spheres weren’t sealed; each had a small hole. Just like Luanwen earlier, he didn’t use the vessels on the table in front of him.

Clearly, these spheres were auxiliary vessels as well.

Right after, Celestial Horror glanced at Zi Ran not far away and saw she was still using the ordinary vessels provided by the City Lord’s Mansion. He chuckled lightly, "You might as well just admit defeat now."

The ordinary vessels provided by the City Lord’s Mansion had nothing wrong with them.

But the best thing you could say about them was that there was nothing wrong with them.

These hundred and twenty spheres of his were all custom-made, perfectly preserving the refined essence of the Celestial Materials; even after a year, none of the essence would leak. But the vessels from the City Lord’s Mansion needed careful tending to ensure the energy of the refined essence didn’t leak. A slight lapse in attention could ruin a Celestial Material.

Zi Ran was practically handing him an opening!

By then, all he’d need to do was guide the toxins generated during refinement over toward her; Zi Ran would definitely have to split her focus to deal with them.

Once she split her focus, if she only had ten or twenty already-refined Celestial Materials to tend, it wouldn’t be a big issue.

But once it reached seventy or eighty, and she split her focus then, the outcome was obvious. It wouldn’t just be one or two already-refined Celestial Materials that leaked energy; several of them would be ruined.

However, in the next moment, Celestial Horror’s smile froze.

Zi Ran’s Meridian Gate trembled, Hellfire rose again, and above her head a massive millstone condensed.

The millstone turned slowly, releasing a special kind of pressure. This pressure wasn’t like ordinary aura, but more like a pressure on perception. Celestial Horror’s Perception had just probed into it for the span of a single breath when it was sucked straight in.

Crack—

The Perception that had been drawn in was like a soybean, instantly ground to pieces, the pain making Celestial Horror cry out in shock, his vision going black as he nearly fainted on the Vortex Dueling Platform.

"Celestial Horror!"

"Celestial Horror!"

Below the Vortex Dueling Platform, Luanwen and Lin Yehong were instantly shocked.

Everyone from the Thousand Crafts Sect, and everyone who saw this scene, was taken aback.

"What just happened?"

"What on earth is that millstone?"

"Why did Celestial Horror suddenly cough up blood?"

As people cried out in surprise, Tianxian and the others immediately turned their gazes toward Wenping, because only he had the answer.

Wenping shook his head with a helpless smile. "The Vortex New Dao wasn’t built on the shoulders of the Vortex Dao, so there’s actually no comparison to be made."
