Not only the audience, but even the Elders who were the judges felt a little nervous. It was as if they were the ones who were really competing in alchemy skills.
This competition could be said to be very exciting.
Kong Yuhuai was the Holy Son of Five Lotus Mountain, so it was needless to say that his alchemy skills and strength were top-notch.
As for the unknown Jiang Xiaobai, he gave people a feeling of amazement.
After seeing Jiang Xiaobai refine pills, they knew that pills could be refined like this. Some of the techniques could be handled like this!
The two of them could be considered as the top geniuses in pill refinement among the younger generation!
Looking at the pills in front of them, the Elders took a deep breath and began to make a fair judgment.
Everyone held their breaths at this moment and waited for the final result to be revealed.
After carefully examining it for a long time, a carefree smile suddenly appeared on the Elders’ faces.
“Wonderful, wonderful!”
Elder Jiang couldn’t help but praise.
The surrounding people were immediately confused. What was the result? Why didn’t they announce the result!?
They only saw Elder Jiang continuously shaking his head and a smile appearing on his face.
“Everyone, we use the most impartial attitude to judge. We will not be biased towards anyone.”
Elder Jiang spoke slowly. At that moment, everyone was staring at his mouth, waiting for the next second.
“This time, the medicinal efficacy of both of them… is 95%!”
The moment he said this, the entire place was in an uproar!
The medicinal strength of both of them was equal? What did this mean?
This was not a draw. After all, Jiang Xiaobai was one step ahead of Kong Yuhuai. In a competition, even if it was just for an instant, it was enough to overturn the result!
“The final winner is Jiang Xiaobai!”
“Okay!”
Ao Cheng was the first to shout out loud. He laughed crazily, “Hahaha, what did you guys say just now? You still dare to say that Jiang Xiaobai can’t win? Isn’t this a win?”
“Just now, you said you were going to kneel down and call me father? And that person who said he was going to eat sh*t, don’t go. Stop right there!”
Immediately, the faces of the people from Five Lotus Mountain flushed red. The atmosphere was extremely awkward. Many people didn’t dare to look at Jiang Xiaobai on the stage.
After the result was announced, Kong Yuhuai let out a long sigh of relief.
Although he had lost, he didn’t show any expression of displeasure or unwillingness. On the contrary, he felt very excited.
It had been a long time since he had been able to compete with others to his heart’s content. He was the strongest alchemist amongst the younger generation in Five Lotus Mountain. If he were to go any higher, they would be an alchemist of the older generation. There was no comparison.
It could be said that even if he lost today, he would still be happy.
Kong Yuhuai cupped his hands and said, “Brother Jiang, congratulations!”
Jiang Xiaobai smiled and waved his hand. “It’s nothing. This time, I really got lucky. I was one step faster than you. Otherwise, we would at most be tied.”
“A loss is a loss. Even if Brother Jiang is lucky, there’s nothing to say. After all, luck is also a part of strength.”
Kong Yuhuai was excited. “To be able to spar with Brother Jiang, it really makes me feel at ease. Why don’t the two of us have a good drink tonight and not go home until we’re drunk?”
“Of course. I think you’re quite a good match.”
“Hahaha.”
Even though he was very happy, Kong Yuhuai was still as refined as a scholar. Such a smile made many women in Five Lotus Mountain dream about him!
The Elders of Five Lotus Mountain below the stage also nodded continuously. Two people with top talent in alchemy didn’t become enemies. Instead, they became friends. This was something to be congratulated.
More than that, they were a relief.
Because the Holy Son of Five Lotus Mountain finally had a friend!
God knows what he had been doing for the past hundred years. Except for researching pills and refining pills, he didn’t go out at all. There wasn’t even basic communication!
They had been freaking out!
Can you not see that His Highness the Holy Son was living a lonely life? Although it was very cold, there were many outstanding people in other areas. How could His Highness the Holy Son not know how to make friends?
Although everyone had been mocking Jiang Xiaobai in such a competition, what was Five Lotus Mountain?
It was the holy land of alchemists. Alchemists within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles gathered here to improve their alchemy skills.
They were able to afford to eat this loss. On the contrary, because of this competition, they would respect Jiang Xiaobai very much.
This was respect for the strong. It had nothing to do with character or appearance.
Ao Yan was both excited and stunned. She was excited because Jiang Xiaobai had won, but stunned because she did not know why she was so excited.
At the thought of this, Ao Yan’s face turned red.
On the other side, Ao Cheng first laughed wildly, then grabbed Xu Nianliang’s collar and shook him to the side.
“Did you see that? Did you see that? Jiang Xiaobai won!”
“What do you mean? Don’t forget about the bet.”
After shouting, Ao Cheng started to let himself go again, leaving Xu Nianliang to sniff and stand there in a daze.
His Highness the Holy Son actually lost?
Thinking of this, Xu Nianliang’s heart felt like it was being twisted by a knife. The idol that he had been chasing all his life had lost, so he was naturally upset.
However, when he saw that Kong Yuhuai still looked very happy even after losing, Xu Nianliang found a reason to recover.
“The happiness of the Holy Son is my greatest desire!”
For a moment, the crowd’s emotions were mixed. Ao Cheng had been looking around for those guys who had previously threatened to call their father and eat sh*t. Needless to say, he had actually found them.
With the temper of this second-generation heir, he naturally had to make these fellows fulfill their promise.
You want to renege on your promise, right?
Fine, then this Young Master will not be polite!
Fortunately, with Ao Yan watching over him, this fellow did not do anything embarrassing. Otherwise, there would be no way to explain things to Five Lotus Mountain.
After the competition ended, Five Lotus Mountain was bustling with activity. Everyone was discussing this matter, and they looked at Jiang Xiaobai with complicated gazes.
Jiang Xiaobai didn’t pay any attention to this. Instead, he walked side by side with the Holy Son in Five Lotus Mountain. The other party insisted on letting Jiang Xiaobai experience the scenery of Five Lotus Mountain.
In the evening, in a large courtyard on the mountainside, there was a table of good dishes and a few pots of good wine. The good wine was provided by Ao Cheng as a friend. If it weren’t for the fact that he was too happy today, he wouldn’t have been willing to share it with others.
At the dining table, Jiang Xiaobai, Kong Yuhuai, Ao Yan, Ao Cheng, as well as Xu Nianliang, sat around and chatted as they ate.
Although Ao Yan still looked cold she had given Five Lotus Mountain’s Holy Son enough face. It was rare for her to be able to chat with him.
However, it was only limited to a few words. After eating some food, she left.
Only Jiang Xiaobai, Ao Cheng, and Kong Yuhuai were left drinking and bragging.
On the side, Xu Nianliang felt a little lonely and pitiful. Before today, in the entire Five Lotus Mountain, the only person who could get close to the Holy Son was Xu Nianliang.
However, after Jiang Xiaobai appeared out of nowhere, everything changed.
The Holy Son had been kidnapped!
