Xu Nianliang’s eyeballs almost fell out when he heard this.
His Highness the Holy Son actually knew how to praise someone?
Everyone in the entire Five Lotus Mountain knew that His Highness the Holy Son was a dull-witted youth who was obsessed with alchemy. He rarely spoke or moved around and only thought about alchemy. Now, he actually knew how to praise someone?
“Daoist brother, I still don’t know your name. I’m Kong Yuhuai. I’m the Holy Son of Five Lotus Mountain,” Kong Yuhuai said.
“Jiang Xiaobai, an unspecialized.”
“Who said you’re unspecialized!”
Suddenly, a shout came from the side. It was Ao Cheng, this fellow, who stood up. “You’re my brother-in-law, do you know that?”
At this moment, Ao Cheng’s face was full of laughter. Although he was still as frivolous as before, Jiang Xiaobai saw a trace of recognition in the other party’s eyes.
That’s right, it was recognition!
Although Jiang Xiaobai had helped Ao Cheng a few times before, Ao Cheng had always addressed Jiang Xiaobai as ‘mortal’. He had never acknowledged Jiang Xiaobai’s identity as the Princess’ husband.
In Ao Cheng’s opinion, this was what Jiang Xiaobai should have done.
But now, it was different. Jiang Xiaobai knew how to concoct pills and could easily concoct high-grade spirit pills. Even the Holy Son of Five Lotus Mountain was full of praise for him. The meaning was completely different!
Jiang Xiaobai didn’t expect to have such a windfall. He immediately smiled sheepishly.
“Brother Jiang, your alchemy skills are very high. Out of all the people of the same generation that I’ve met, you’re the best.”
As Kong Yuhuai spoke, his eyes flashed with passion. “I wonder if Brother Jiang is interested in having a competition between the two of us?”
As soon as he said this, Xu Nianliang was extremely shocked.
He looked at His Highness the Holy Son, and then at Jiang Xiaobai. He felt as if everything was a dream.
His Highness the Holy Son was actually going to have a match with this strange guy?
What if he lost?
No, how could His Highness the Holy Son lose?
Ao Cheng, who was beside him, was also very excited. He directly shouted, “Of course, there’s no problem. I agree on his behalf.”
“Brother Jiang, I was just itching to spar with you after seeing your alchemy skills. It’s okay if you don’t want to accept it.”
Although he said that, Kong Yuhuai looked at Jiang Xiaobai with anticipation.
It was a look that showed that he had met a strong opponent and just wanted to spar with him. It usually appeared on martial arts addicts. From this, it could be seen that Kong Yuhuai was an alchemy addict.
“There’s no harm in it. A competition can also let people know their own shortcomings and draw on the strengths of others.” Jiang Xiaobai nodded with a smile.
In his opinion, this competition didn’t have any interest to him at all. It was simply the two of them having an exchange!
However, the others didn’t think so. At least, Ao Cheng didn’t think so.
The moment Jiang Xiaobai agreed, Ao Cheng directly rushed out of the small courtyard and came to the bustling street outside.
“Five Lotus Mountain’s Holy Son is going to have an open competition. The venue is Five Lotus Mountain’s training field!”
“Don’t miss it. It’s an unprecedented battle. If you miss it once, it will be gone.”
After shouting a few times, the bustling street instantly quieted down. Everyone stared at Ao Cheng.
“What did you say? His Highness the Holy Son is going to have a competition with someone?”
“What kind of person has the guts to come and compete with His Highness the Holy Son?”
“Without thinking, His Highness the Holy Son will definitely win. Within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles, which younger generation’s alchemy skills are better than His Highness the Holy Son?”
The crowd began to discuss, but their steps were surprisingly uniform. They all headed toward the training field.
After shouting, Ao Cheng revealed an excited smile, as if he didn’t mind watching the show.
His voice was quite loud, so the people in the courtyard could naturally hear him, but there was nothing wrong with it.
Kong Yuhuai and Jiang Xiaobai both simply wanted to have a match. Winning or losing wasn’t important, but meeting a confidant was!
“Brother Jiang, if that’s the case, how about we move to the training field?”
“Of course, no problem.”
The two of them chatted and laughed as they walked side by side towards the training grounds.
The news of His Highness the Holy Son competing with someone soon spread from this corner. The speed was so fast that it made people speechless. Not long after, more than 90% of the people on Five Lotus Mountain knew about this matter. They all put down the things they were doing and rushed to the training grounds.
After all, the Holy Son, Kong Yuhuai, was the trump card of Five Lotus Mountain. He was also the person with the strongest alchemy skills among the younger generation of Five Lotus Mountain.
The only pity was that the Holy Son stayed at home. When he had nothing to do, he only knew how to study pills. He basically did not even know how to speak to people.
But so what? It was right that the Holy Son was strong!
On a mountain peak of Five Lotus Mountain, Third Elder and Ao Yan observed Elder Jiang’s pill refining room. Then, they personally watched Elder Jiang refine a Marrow Cleansing Pill for Xiao Ling’er. After that, he began to prepare the pill refining for Third Elder.
At this moment, it suddenly became lively outside. Many people were running wildly toward a certain place. At the same time, their faces were also filled with excitement.
“What happened?” Elder Jiang’s face was filled with confusion.
He walked out of the alchemy room and casually grabbed a person to ask about the situation.
“Elder Jiang, our Holy Son is going to publicly compete in alchemy skills with someone. You should go and take a look as well. Don’t let there be no seats when the time comes!”
After saying that, the man quickly rushed down the mountain.
Under such circumstances, even Elder Jiang was a little excited. “Well, it has been three years since the Holy Son made a move. I wonder how much his alchemy skills have improved over the past three years?”
“Old man, Your Highness, why don’t we go and take a look together?”
Ao Yan nodded. “Of course. I haven’t seen the Holy Son make a move either. This time, I should be able to feast my eyes on it.”
“Hehe, I don’t know where this genius came from, but even the Holy Son of Five Lotus Mountain is treating them like this…”
On the side, the Third Elder had just opened his mouth with a smile when he suddenly froze. It wasn’t just him. Even Ao Yan had stopped walking.
The two of them looked at each other and had a bad premonition.
“Could it be that that b*stard Ao Cheng is messing around again?!” Ao Yan immediately thought of this possibility and couldn’t help but grit her teeth in anger. At the same time, she quickened her pace.
In particular, she knew that Ao Cheng went out with Jiang Xiaobai. Jiang Xiaobai also happened to know how to concoct pills. It was very likely that the person in this open competition would be Jiang Xiaobai!
This was simply messing around!
Five Lotus Mountain’s Holy Son had already been famous for a long time. How could his understanding of alchemy be compared to a mere mortal like Jiang Xiaobai? Oh, no, how could a Qi Refinement realm fellow compare?
Ao Yan only felt that something big was going to happen this time. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth at Jiang Xiaobai and Ao Cheng.
“D*mned thing, let me catch you and see if I won’t skin you alive and use your tendons as a belt!” Ao Yan’s heart was burning with anger. She was already thinking about how to deal with Ao Cheng..
