When Cang Qin realized that he couldn't find the key to the door, his heart tightened. What was going on? Did he lose it? How could that be? His storage ring was always with him; there was no way he could have lost it.
Ling Mo Xie noticed the slight hint of panic in Cang Qin's expression and a smirk appeared on his face. He said lightly, "Oh? What's going on? Did I hit the nail on the head? The renowned Elder Cang of the Azure Emperor Sect is really going to blame this inexperienced kid for your wager?"
As he spoke, he feigned a look of confusion while glancing at Cang Qin.
Seeing Ling Mo Xie's expression, Cang Qin snorted coldly and stopped searching for the key. Since he couldn't find it just now, whether it was lost or not, it definitely wasn't in his storage ring anymore. There was no point in looking; he needed to deal with Ling Mo Xie first.
As for the possibility of Ling Mo Xie stealing the key, Cang Qin never considered that. In his eyes, Ling Mo Xie's cultivation level was too low to steal anything from him. What they didn't know was that Bai Yunfei, who was beside Ling Mo Xie, was a member of the Illusory Void Sect.
Cang Qin glanced at Ling Mo Xie, cleared his throat, and said, "As for the wager, let's wait for a more appropriate time to discuss it! For now, please let Elder Feng announce the results of the match!"
With that, he looked towards Elder Feng. Ling Mo Xie had intended to press Cang Qin further, but Elder Feng interrupted him and loudly declared, "The outcome of this match is already clear; the winner is Ling Mo Xie, the Seventh Young Master of the Ling family! Does anyone have any objections to my ruling?"
The crowd below was merely there for entertainment; they had no objections. Moreover, their minds were all focused on Ling Mo Xie's elixir. It posed no danger, acted quickly, and had excellent effects—far superior to Ning Qi's elixir.
Thus, they hardly paid attention to the outcome of the match and were more concerned about how Ling Mo Xie would distribute the elixirs: would they be free or would something be required in exchange?
So when they heard Elder Feng's announcement, they quickly chimed in and eagerly asked Ling Mo Xie, "Young Master Ling, can you give me one of those elixirs? I can trade... for something!"
"Me too! What does that count for? I'm willing to trade one-third of my fortune for it!"
"Count me in! Count me in!"
Looking at the crowd below, which could be described as frenzied, Ling Mo Xie merely smiled calmly and said, "Don't worry, I have already prepared the elixirs. When the pills are refined, they will be distributed for free to everyone. However..."
The crowd thought that Ling Mo Xie was about to set some conditions, and they all held their breath, listening intently to his words, calculating whether their wealth would be enough to exchange for the elixirs.
As for Ling Mo Xie's earlier mention of "free," these people automatically filtered it out. Free? Nonsense! Are there really such good people in the Cultivation World?
Even if they wanted to obtain elixirs from the Azure Emperor's sect, wouldn't they have to give something in return? "Free" was just a nice way of speaking, a means to gain some reputation.
"However, all of this will take some time. To be honest with you all, I can only refine at most nine pills a day," Ling Mo Xie continued calmly.
The crowd was not concerned about how difficult it was to refine the elixirs; they kept asking Ling Mo Xie what kind of items they needed to exchange for them.
Ling Mo Xie grew annoyed by the incessant questioning. Were these people idiots? Couldn't they understand human speech? Or was it because he himself was not a good person that they couldn't believe there were good people in this world?
Thinking this, Ling Mo Xie's expression turned serious as he impatiently said, "Alright! I've told you everything. You can go back now! Don't come asking again. The first batch of elixirs will be distributed in a month; everyone go back to your own homes!"
After saying this, he ignored the crowd and turned his attention to Cang Qin and Ning Qi, who were mingling in the crowd and preparing to slip away. He called out to them, "Hey, where are you two going? Lord Cang, you mentioned finding a suitable time to hand over the wager. I think! Since there are so many witnesses here now, you should confirm a specific time and place!"
"Do you not trust me?" Cang Qin replied angrily upon hearing Ling Mo Xie's words. His eyes flashed with intensity while his heart felt somewhat uneasy. This damn kid insisted on putting him in a difficult position.
Having not found the key token, Cang Qin himself didn't know where it had gone—whether it had disappeared or if he had simply forgotten where he put it.
Thus, when he mentioned finding a suitable time, he was merely trying to buy time. If he truly couldn't find it, he was prepared to let this matter drag on.
Now, Ling Mo Xie was asking him to confirm the exact time in front of everyone. Wasn't that putting himself in a difficult position? What if when the time came, he still couldn't produce the Opening Token? That would be a huge embarrassment—not only for himself but also for the Azure Emperor Sect.
After all, he was an elder of the Azure Emperor Sect. If word got out that an elder was avoiding his bets and failing to repay his debts, where would he put his face? He believed the sect leader would also blame him for this.
"Believe? Heh heh!" Ling Mo Xie chuckled. "You know what? I really don't believe you. By rights, the outcome has already been decided, and you should present your wager now, right? Yet you're talking about finding a suitable time; it sounds like an excuse."
As Ling Mo Xie spoke, he glanced at Ning Qi, who was following closely behind Cang Qin, and added, "Moreover, if I were the one to lose, wouldn't Young Master Ning demand that I fulfill my wager on the spot? Just because you lost, does that mean you can go back on your word?"
Ling Mo Xie's imposing demeanor and righteous expression resonated with everyone present, causing them to pause momentarily before they began to echo his sentiments.
Cang Qin's face turned slightly awkward. Wasn't it embarrassing enough already? However, if he followed Ling Mo Xie's suggestion and set a specific time, he might end up even more humiliated!
Feeling irritated, Cang Qin's aura involuntarily radiated outward, affecting those around him. Many people felt the pressure of his presence.
"The Azure Emperor Sect is using their power to intimidate!" The scene suddenly became chaotic, catching Cang Qin off guard. He quickly retracted his aura; although he wasn't afraid of these people, the Azure Emperor Sect was still a Righteous Path sect, and he needed to maintain his reputation.
"Alright! Let me say something fair; you all take a step back!" Elder Feng couldn't stand by any longer and shouted.
He knew where the Opening Token had gone. Although he didn't get along with Cang Qin either and didn't oppose Ling Mo Xie's pressure on him, seeing it affect the Azure Emperor Sect's reputation forced him to intervene.
