Thosements only further served to fuel Igor’s displeasure. He retorted coldly, “Watch your mouth!


    Letting him humiliate you is equivalent to letting him humiliate me. You might think that it’s fine to be


    humiliated like that, but I don’t share the same sentiment. Do not stop me from challenging him.”


    Severin was speechless for a moment. He pondered for a moment and suggested to Igor, “Well, I can


    ept the challenge if you’re so insistent on one, but we don’t have to resort to kneeling and whatnot.


    There’s no element of excitement in that. How about we stake our bet on spiritual herbs?”


    Igor perceived Severin’s proposal as a sign of fear, fear of making a fool of himself if he lost and had to


    kneel in apology. A cold smile unfolded across his lips as he retorted, “What a scheming little rascal


    you are. You were willing to bet with my apprentices that the loser has to kneel and apologize, but now


    you’re changing the terms of the bet because you think you can’t beat their master. It’s much less


    embarrassing to offer some spiritual herbs than kneeling in apology, am I right?” Severin scratched his


    head and said, “How about this: if you lose, you’ll give me ten fourth–grade low–rank spiritual herbs.


    They need to be suited for alchemy, though. If I lose, I’ll kneel and apologize to you and your


    apprentices. Fair enough for you?


    Igor agreed readily, stating, “Sure. I’m fine with it as long as you agree to kneel and apologize if you


    lose.” As distressing as it was that he might have to give up ten sprigs of spiritual herbs, his main goal


    was still to help his apprentices redeem themselves.


    Severin chuckled and produced his cauldron. “That’s good then! However, I must stress that it was your


    apprentices who suggested the condition of kneeling and apologizing if I was able to craft a third–grade


    pill. You can’t me that on me. Igor’s expression soured, and he red at his apprentices. He had not


    anticipated them to suggest such a ludicrous condition. Unfortunately, the situation was already past


    the point of no return, and Igor had no choice but to bring out his cauldron. He wanted to unt his


    double–chambered cauldron, but he soon discovered that Severin’s cauldron was emanating some


    faint flickering waves that were much stronger than his. There seemed to be no doubt that Severin’s


    cauldron was much better.

    “My cauldron is double–chambered. What about yours? Igor questioned Severin sullenly.


    Severin answered with a faint smile, “This is a triple–chambered cauldron.”


    Igor nearly passed out when he heard that. All three of the fourth–grade low–rank alchemists in the


    Skyblue Sect used double- chambered cauldrons, and he was almost on par with them when he used


    his own double–chambered cauldron. It was something that he had always been proud of.


    However, Severin’s cauldron was a triple–chambered one that had undoubtedly overshadowed Igor’s.


    Igor grinned arrogantly and said, “Regardless of how impressive your cauldron may be, it is ultimately


    your strength that will determine the out…” Before he could finish speaking, Igor could only watch in


    astonishment as Severin produced a set of fourth–grade low–rank refinement materials.


    Igor was taken aback. He gasped and could not believe what he was seeing. It seemed that Severin


    was preparing to create a fourth–grade low–rank pill. If Severin were a fourth–grade low–rank


    alchemist whose fourth–rank pills were barely passable, his skill would undoubtedly surpass that of


    Igor’s third–grade high–rank pills.
