Chapter 142 The Final Blow

  "Three pellets build a foundation, gamble or not?" Shen Xiang said: "In the competition, whoever's ranking is higher than the other side, whoever wins!"

  These three pellets of Zhū Jī Dān have blinded everyone's eyes just now, and this is actually called a small gamble?

  Even one Zhu Ji Dan is hard to come by, yet Shen Xiang suddenly has three of them and he's even using them for betting. This is simply being reckless to the extreme, actually using something like this for betting. Many people are scolding Shen Xiang.

  Dan Changlao was also shocked, and immediately sent a voice transmission to Shen Xiang: "Where did you get this from?"

  At the same time, Lü Zhengnan also asked: "Where did this foundation pill come from?"

  If it's refined by Shen Xiang, Lü Zhengnan won't even dare to bet.

  "Never mind where I came from, do you dare to bet? If not, then forget it." Shen Xiang said calmly. A careful person would definitely be able to see that among the three foundation pills, two of them had a slightly duller color, while the other one was somewhat brighter.

  Of course, no one would have thought that Shen Xiang could refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, and Dan Lao also didn't think Shen Xiang could do it. In her opinion, it was still too early for Shen Xiang, let alone the fact that Shen Xiang didn't have a fire soul.

  "Fine, I won't gamble then!" Shen Xiang put away the foundation pills, his face filled with disappointment.

  Can Lü Zhengnan not gamble? This would not only bring shame to him, but also humiliate the entire Lü family. He said: "I don't have any foundation pills now, but if I lose, within ten days, I will definitely present three foundation pills!"

  Shen Xiang had three pellets of Foundation Establishment Pill, but he didn't take them. Everyone guessed that Shen Xiang was just preparing to enter the True Martial Realm, but this made many people jealous, as they could use three pellets of Foundation Establishment Pill for preparation. People already foresaw that in the near future, Shen Xiang would become a True Martial Realm warrior.

  The old alchemists on the competition stage could only secretly sigh that they didn't have that fate, but they didn't think their alchemy skills would lose to two young people.

  As for the origin of Shen Xiang's foundation-building pill, everyone was very curious, but Shen Xiang didn't say anything. Even Dan Lao, Shen Xiang didn't tell him where it came from, and this was intentionally making Dan Lao depressed.

  The alchemy competition is very comprehensive, and all of them are required to refine some commonly used elixirs. The highest grade is the Ling-class top-grade elixir, but those who come to participate in the competition may only be able to refine the Ling-class medium-grade elixir at most, that is, Nalan Jiangcheng, because a third-level alchemist needs to refine three kinds of Ling-class medium-grade elixirs.

  The first trial is to refine a lower-grade Body Tempering Pill within half an hour!

  In the blink of an eye, half a time period passed, and the first to successfully refine was Lü Zhèngnán. Shěn Xiáng deliberately slowed down his speed and only opened the alchemy furnace when it was close to the end. He did this also to make Lü Zhèngnán underestimate him, and at the same time conserve his consumption, making it much easier for him.

  Tan Changlao saw through Shen Xiang's intentions at a glance, and when Shen Xiang was refining the low-grade spiritual elixir, he did it with great ease. Not to mention this kind of low-ranking dan medicine.

  Five people did not meet the requirements and quietly left in the first round.

  The second round is the refining of the ordinary middle-grade Washing Marrow Pill, and the third round is the ordinary top-grade Great Yuan Pill. All are required to be completed within half a time!

  These two are still Lu Zhengnan who first opened the alchemy furnace, and Shen Xiang still pressed the tail to open the cover, which made Lu Zhengnan secretly pleased in his heart.

  After these two rounds, there were only sixty people left on the field!

  It's already noon, but the competition is still going on. The rest time is very short, which also tests the endurance of the alchemists. The spectators are waiting for a result, but some impatient people have left early.

  The fourth round is the true Qi Dan of the Ling level lower grade, completed within an hour!

  This is a very high requirement for alchemists below the True Martial Realm, and many people have not even started refining before stepping down from the stage. Some are unprepared and lack medicinal materials, but most think they cannot meet the requirements.

  Adding Shen Xiang, there are now only fifteen alchemists continuing!

  Zhen Qi Dan was still easy for Shen Xiang, he usually refined a lot to give Long Xueyi the little gluttonous dragon as sugar beans to eat. However, he still deliberately slowed down his speed and only opened the dan furnace when time was running out. Lü Zhengnan continued to be high-profile, always being the first to open the lid, and the quality of the products were not bad either.

  Time arrived, and eight alchemists left again. Now only seven are left. Dan Lao was satisfied with the result and nodded his head. Except for Shen Xiang and Na Lu Zhengnan, five Mortal Martial Realm alchemists were able to refine True Qi Pills within an hour, which is much better than previous years, although these five alchemists are not young.

  In the afternoon, the scorching sun was high in the sky, but now it's the final tense moment of the alchemy competition.

  "The final round, free play, the time is four hours, refine the highest grade of elixir you can refine, and whoever's elixir grade is higher in the end will be considered the winner. You can refine multiple elixirs to increase your chances of winning." The old master shouted.

  Lü Zhēnán's mouth corners slightly curved upwards, because he knew that he would definitely win this match, as he was a three-stage alchemy master, able to refine three types of spiritual middle-grade pills. He didn't think Shen Xiáng and other alchemists could do it, and he was confident that he could refine those three within four hours.

  Shen Xiang smiled and looked at Lü Zhengnan, saying: "Brother Lü, you look so confident, I suppose you have a sure win in your grasp. Do you want to add some stakes?"

  Shen Xiang actually wanted to raise the stakes at this time, and the crowd of onlookers who were feeling annoyed suddenly seemed to have been injected with chicken blood. If they won, wouldn't they make a fortune?

  Many people under the stage were discussing with their gambling friends about increasing their bets, they also made small bets, but most of them bet on Lü Zhengnan, after all, the three-segmented alchemy master jade plate at his waist had great prestige.

  Elder Dan looked at Shen Xiang with a smile on his face and knew that Lv Zhengnan was in trouble. Last time, she lost to Shen Xiang like this, although she only let Shen Xiang enter the Tai Dan Wangyuan.

  Gamblers always increase their bets when they think they have a stable winning streak, even putting all their family property on the line. Shen Xiang and Lü Zhengnan are now in this situation, both of them think they will win for sure, so they both unhesitatingly increase their bets.

  "You go as much, I'll follow as much!" Lv Zhengnan said in one breath, his face full of confidence. The other alchemists had already started refining their pills and didn't want to stay with these two madmen here.

  "I heard that you, Medicine King Mountain, have a Nine Yang Fierce Flame Fruit..." Shen Xiang chuckled: "If I use this Hell Spirit Mushroom to bet, are you willing to use that Nine Yang Fierce Flame Fruit to bet?"

  The black Hell's Ganoderma appeared, causing a commotion throughout the scene. Although it was only as big as a palm, it was extremely precious because it was a sacred medicine that could bring people back from the dead.

  Jiǔ Yáng Liè Yàn Guǒ is a rare and precious fire-attribute medicinal material of the Xuan rank's top grade. It is mainly used to refine a Xuan rank top-grade pill called Xuan Yang Huo Dan. The Xuan Yang Huo Dan has an excellent effect, which is that it can continuously enhance one's flame, providing great assistance to alchemists' flames. This is what most people know, but Su Mei Yao told him that the Xuan Yang Huo Dan is actually the best pill for nurturing the fire soul.

  Shen Xiang is not using it yet, but he will definitely use it later. Su Mei Yao said that if you want to walk easily on the path of alchemy, having a fire soul is a must.

  "Alright, I'll bet!" Lu Zhengnan gritted his teeth and said.

  "I'm worried that Brother Lü can't make the decision, after all, this is a very valuable thing for the Lü family." Shen Xiang said with a worried face, if the Lü family doesn't give it to him, he has no way to get it, and at most, the Lü family will just be known as untrustworthy.

  "I can handle it!" Lv Zhengnan said seriously.
