At this moment, Ao Cheng, who was staring at the two people on the stage with a flushed face, suddenly felt a chill down his spine and sneezed loudly at the same time.
“Achoo!”
Rubbing his nose, Ao Cheng raised his eyebrows. “Which woman is thinking about me again? Xiao Hong, Jin Lian, or Xiao Yan’er, whom I haven’t seen for a long time?”
“Mm, I must go to Tianyuan City to take a look after I go back this time. I miss them so much after not seeing them for a few days…”
Then, Ao Cheng shook off the messy thoughts in his mind and looked at the two people on the stage excitedly.
At this time, their respective pill furnaces had been placed in front of them. They were all divine-grade pill furnaces provided by Kong Yuhuai using his identity as the Holy Son. The effects were quite good.
At the same time, there were people around them who were ready to provide the spirit herbs they needed at all times.
Unlike the two people on the stage who were relatively harmonious and calm, the thousands of people below the stage were in a mess. Not only that, all kinds of mocking and insulting voices kept coming from below.
“That kid on the stage, what qualifications do you have to challenge our Holy Son?”
“Hurry up and get down. You’re just a Qi Refinement realm cultivator. You know how to refine pills? This is simply a big joke.”
“If you can defeat our Holy Son today, I’ll kneel down and call you father.”
“I won’t just call you father, I’ll eat sh*t the same way.”
“Trash, scram. You’re not even worthy of being a match for our Holy Son.”
Jiang Xiaobai did not feel any emotion towards such a scene. He even wanted to continue listening.
What a joke. Could such a small scene be compared to the wedding in Dragon Valley that day?
It was nothing, so Jiang Xiaobai completely ignored it.
On the stage, Kong Yuhuai asked casually, “Brother Jiang, what kind of method do you want to use to compete in pill refinement strength?”
Jiang Xiaobai raised his eyebrows. “Do you have any good suggestions?”
Kong Yuhuai frowned and pondered for a moment, then slowly said, “I can sense that Brother Jiang’s pill refinement skill is at least at the level of a high-grade alchemist. At this level, you basically know how to refine many pills.”
“Why don’t we compare the medicinal strength of the pills? I’ll let the Elders of Five Lotus Mountain help us judge. Brother Jiang, what do you think?”
Kong Yuhuai’s suggestion was quite good. The medicinal strength was a comprehensive method to judge an alchemist’s strength. This included not only the control of the medicinal strength when refining pills, but also the understanding of the path of alchemy.
It included many things. These were the most basic skills an alchemist needed.
Of course, refining speed also played a large part in winning. After all, for the same pill, you needed ten minutes to refine one, but I only needed five minutes. This was enough to prove that my understanding of alchemy was above yours. This thing could not be improved by practice.
“Okay.”
Seeing that Jiang Xiaobai agreed, Kong Yuhuai also nodded. “Then, two out of three wins. How about refining Foundation Establishment Pills, Essence-Enhancing Pills, and Bone-Tempering Pills?”
The three kinds of pills were the most basic pills in the world of cultivators, and they were in great demand.
“There’s no problem with that.” Jiang Xiaobai did not have any objections to this.
Immediately, Kong Yuhuai said something to the people on the side. Immediately, people began to prepare the corresponding spirit herbs, as well as the Five Lotus Mountain Elders who were called for them to be the judges.
While they were waiting, the ridicule from below continued. No one thought highly of Jiang Xiaobai.
“Ao Cheng, this friend of yours really has a problem with his brain. So what if he’s a high-grade alchemist? Can he be more powerful than our Holy Son?”
Xu Nianliang sneered, “He still dares to compete in public in such a public place? Isn’t he asking for humiliation?”
“What do you know about my friend? My friend is quite powerful. He must be more powerful than your Holy Son.” Ao Cheng snorted.
“Hmph, you dare to look down on our Holy Son?”
“So what if I look down on him?”
“How about we make a bet? If your friend can beat our Holy Son, I will refine all the pills I know for free in the future. How about it?” Xu Nianliang smiled confidently. Obviously, he was very confident in his Holy Son.
Ao Cheng also snorted coldly. “What if I lose?”
“I won’t ask for too much. Since you said that you want to invest in me, how about giving me an extra hundred high-grade spirit stones every month?”
Ao Cheng didn’t lose anything in this deal. He only needed to pay a hundred high-grade spirit stones every month. This money wasn’t even enough for him to go to the brothel to have a good time.
“Then it’s a deal!”
After saying this, Ao Cheng looked at the high platform and shouted, “Jiang Xiaobai, I’m cheering for you. Hit that gigolo hard. You’ll definitely win. If you win, I’ll give you a lot of benefits!”
This guy’s voice was quite loud. One person’s voice almost drowned out the voices of the hundreds of people around him. Naturally, many people heard the words ‘gigolo’.
“F*ck, you f*cking said that our Holy Son is a gigolo?”
“Brothers, what should we do if someone insults the Holy Son?”
“Of course, we’ll beat him to death!”
The scene immediately became chaotic. The people around them wanted to pounce on Ao Cheng and give him a good beating. Seeing this, the corner of Ao Cheng’s mouth curled up, and he immediately erupted with his Nascent Soul late stage aura.
As alchemists, those who were able to take root in Five Lotus Mountain were people who were obsessed with alchemy. Almost all of their energy was focused on the study of alchemy. How could they have the spare time to cultivate?
As a result, their strength was generally not high. The late stage of the Nascent Soul realm was enough to beat their heads into dog heads.
“Hmph, each and every one of you has thin arms and legs. Not to mention other things like you, I will beat as many as I come,” Ao Cheng said with a smug look.
“Is that so?”
An indifferent voice came from behind.
Ao Cheng subconsciously shouted, “Of course. I can kill two of them with one hand…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Ao Cheng’s body suddenly froze on the spot.
“Say it. Why don’t you continue?” Ao Yan said coldly, “Weren’t you quite capable just now? Why aren’t you saying anything now?”
Ao Cheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva and turned his head with an embarrassed smile. Before he could open his mouth, Ao Yan grabbed his hair and pulled his ears.
“Ah, it hurts, it hurts. Sister, let go! So many people are watching!” Ao Cheng shouted.
“You also know that there are so many people here? You also know that this is Five Lotus Mountain? Do you really think this is Dragon Valley?”
Ao Yan rebuked angrily, “You actually dared to cause trouble in Five Lotus Mountain? If you really caused trouble, even our grandfather wouldn’t be able to save you!”
At this moment, Ao Cheng no longer had the arrogant and domineering look from before. He was simply an obedient little rabbit, not even daring to breathe loudly.
The people on the side watched with great relief!
After teaching Ao Cheng a lesson, Ao Yan looked up at the high platform and saw Jiang Xiaobai smiling and saying something to Kong Yuhuai. The two of them actually looked like old friends who had known each other for many years?
At this time, the necessary spirit herbs were ready to be delivered to the two of them. At the same time, the referee Elder was also in place.
The competition began!
