Chapter 141: A Small Bet

  Long Xueyi just smiled and saw Shen Xiang's bitter melon face, she laughed even more happily, while Shen Xiang now only wanted to hit her butt until it was blooming with flowers.

  "Little fart dragon, I've decided to starve you for eight or ten days!" Shen Xiang suppressed the anger in his heart and said through gritted teeth.

  "Oh, come on! I was just joking. Besides, you guys are all playboys, and I'm just saying what's on your mind. Didn't you see that Wu Xuanxuan is also very happy? This is a win-win situation!" Long Xueyi said with great satisfaction.

  Fortunately, Long Xueyi was only playing tricks in front of Wu Xuanxuan and Hua Xiangyue. If it were in front of Dan Changlao or some other powerful figures, Shen Xiang would not have enough lives to die ten times.

  Shen Xiang couldn't understand why this little dragon, who had just broken out of its shell less than a year ago, was so mysterious and clever, and even thought like an adult.

  The next day was the alchemy competition, with over a hundred people signing up, and the rules of the competition were very strict. Alchemy had to be performed in front of many people, requiring a certain amount of composure.

  Alchemists usually refine their elixirs in a quiet, secluded room, but today's competition is being held on a high platform under the watchful eyes of many people. This requires a certain level of mental endurance, and with all the noise around, it can be quite distracting, but this is what tests an alchemist's skills.

  Today, there were fewer people in the square, but it was still packed. After all, it's a competition and everyone wants to see the excitement. Many have also heard that Shen Xiang is participating, so they decided to harass him outside the venue later, making it impossible for him to focus on refining his dan.

  Shen Xiang didn't see Yun Xiaodao and the others, and Gu Dongchen, the head of the sect, was also not there. This made Shen Xiang secretly despise Zhu Rong and the others, who were about to leave without even saying goodbye to him. But Wu Xuexian came to tell him, which warmed his heart. As for Wu Xuexian, the number one beauty, he didn't reject her in his heart, but instead had a faint liking for her.

  The entire match was supervised by Dan Lao, under the gaze of her fiery eyes, many alchemists felt a chill down their spines. As for this mysterious and unpredictable Dan Lao, everyone feared her, if they provoked Dan Lao, Shen Xiang would be an example to them.

  Although Dan Changlao was targeting Shen Xiang, Shen Xiang was actually from the Tai Dan Wangyuan, and many people thought that Dan Changlao had deliberately let him in so that he could deal with him more directly.

  "Shen Xiang, why is the growth rate of that Qingxuan fruit tree so fast, far exceeding my expectations." Dan Changlao's voice condensed into a thread, transmitted to Shen Xiang's ear.

  "I don't know, but no matter how fast it grows, it has nothing to do with you, I planted it." Shen Xiang also responded in the same way, but his face was full of a pleased smile.

  "Hmph, what do you want so many Qingxuan fruits for? You don't even know how to refine them!" said Dan Changlao coldly.

  "Why can't I just take it and eat it? It's mine, I do what I want, what business is it of yours?" Shen Xiang laughed, seeing Dan Changzhen getting angry to the point where his whole body was slightly trembling, he felt delighted in his heart, with a slight smile on his face, full of smugness.

  "The alchemy competition is about to begin. If anyone cheats or breaks the rules, I will definitely expel him from Taiwu Gate. Hurry up and choose your positions!" The old master of Dan shouted coldly, his intelligent and majestic voice made everyone tremble with fear, and the square also quieted down.

  Shen Xiang was about to go and choose a location, when he heard Dan Changlao say: "Shen Xiang is refining pills by my side, you are cunning and I'm worried that you will use some invisible methods to cheat, I want to see how you refine them!"

  When others refined the elixir, they would set up a huge high platform in the middle of the square, which was some distance away from the high platform where Dan Lao stood. This made people feel relatively at ease. If one were to get close to Dan Lao, even taking a breath would be extremely difficult, all because Dan Lao inspired fear in others.

  Shen Xiang merely hummed a low response, he wasn't afraid of Dan Changlao at all; after all, she was his junior fellow disciple and had also supervised him in refining dan before.

  At this time, a man of about twenty years old with a slightly childish face walked towards the high platform where Dan Lao was located. What surprised people was that although the man had an arrogant face, the white jade waist card on his waist made many people stare in amazement!

  Everyone immediately thought of who this person was.

  "Isn't that the young alchemist from Lü's family on Medicine King Mountain? I remember his name is Lü Zhengnan, he's still young and hasn't reached True Martial Realm yet, but he's already a third-grade alchemist. It seems like he'll definitely become a famous figure in the future." an old man said.

  Shen Xiang had heard Wu Xuanxuan mention this person last night, and he had also heard of the name of Medicine King Mountain's Lü family. It was a family that controlled a large amount of medicinal materials, including even the Qingxuan fruit. However, they never sold them, and there were many powerful individuals within the Lü family as well. It was said that there was even an old immortal at the level of Nirvana.

  "Disciple Lü Zhengnan pays his respects to Elder Dan!" Lü Zhengnan bowed respectfully to Elder Dan, but his expression still carried a hint of arrogance.

  "Do you have anything to say?" Elder Dan saw Lü Zhengnan's ugly face and secretly got angry, but she didn't erupt. In comparison, she thought Shen Xiang was more lovable than Lü Zhengnan.

  "Disciple was lucky to enter the True Martial Realm last night, but I found out that the True Martial Realm cannot participate in the grand gathering. However, I really want to participate because I want to compete with Shen Xiang." Lu Zhengnan looked at Shen Xiang, his eyes filled with a provocative light, and also with disdain, as if saying, "I am now a three-stage alchemy master, and also a True Martial Realm, you are far inferior to me!"

  Shen Xiang secretly sighed, although he admitted that Lü Zhengnan's talent was not bad, but it was still too tender, and he could already see that Lü Zhengnan would be defeated miserably.

  However, this was an explosive news for other disciples. Lü Zhengnan had actually entered the True Martial Realm at just 21 years old, two years older than Yun Xiaodao. Although he was a pill alchemist, everyone thought that Lü Zhengnan was much more talented than Yun Xiaodao.

  "It's just alchemy, that's nothing, I'll let you participate in this trial, but as for martial arts, you'd better be more careful!" Dan Changlao said lightly, she just wanted to see if Shen Xiang would lose to Lü Zhengnan in the end.

  Shen Xiang smiled and said, "Brother Lü is a rare talent that appears only once in a thousand years. It's my good fortune to be able to compete with you. Since Brother Lü has come for me, I'll make a small bet to liven up the atmosphere!"

  Shen Xiang is going to gamble again. Last time, he won a true martial arts disciple and the qualification to enter the Tai Dan Wang Institute. What does he plan to bet on this time?

  Old Dan felt very interesting at this time, although she was targeting Shen Xiang everywhere, but she also cared about Shen Xiang very much. As soon as she came out of the house, the first thing she did was to ask about what kind of trouble Shen Xiang had caused, and Shen Xiang didn't disappoint her, causing a lot of big troubles.

  "Unattainable!" Lyu Zhengnan smiled proudly, and even if Shen Xiang didn't mention it, he would have brought it up himself. He was a true martial artist, and more than that, a three-stage alchemy master, certified by the Danxiang Tower, representing the highest honor.

  "Since you were the one who suggested betting, what's your stake?" Lu Zhengnan said, knowing that Shen Xiang had a lot to lose, but he wasn't worried because he thought he could win.

  Every gambler thinks this way.

  Shen Xiang smiled faintly, and with a flip of his palm, three pellets of medicine that shone with a dazzling blue and golden light were pinched between his fingers.

  Shen Xiang actually took out the three Foundational Elixirs from his body to gamble!
