Chapter 141: A Small Gamble
Long Xueyi just laughed, and when she saw Shen Xiang's bitter face, she laughed even happier. But now Shen Xiang just wanted to spank her butt until it was covered with flowers.
"Little brat, I've decided to starve you for ten days or so!" Shen Xiang suppressed the anger in his heart and said with gritted teeth.
"No, I was just joking. Besides, you stinky men are all playboys. I just said what you wanted to say. Didn't you see that Wu Qianqian was also very happy? This is the best of both worlds!" Long Xueyi said proudly.
Fortunately, Long Xueyi was only playing a prank in front of Wu Qianqian and Hua Xiangyue. If it was in front of Elder Dan or some other powerful figures, Shen Xiang would not have enough lives to die.
Shen Xiang couldn't understand why this little dragon, who had just hatched less than a year ago, was so clever and had the same way of thinking as an adult.
The next day was the alchemy competition. There were hundreds of people who signed up to participate, and the rules of the competition were very strict. Also, making alchemy in front of so many people required a certain amount of concentration.
Alchemists usually make elixirs in a secret room, which is very quiet. But today's competition is on a high platform under the attention of everyone, which requires a certain level of mental endurance. Moreover, it is noisy all around, which greatly affects the performance. But this can test the level of an alchemist.
Today, there were fewer people in the square, but it was still full. After all, it was a competition and everyone wanted to come and see the excitement. Moreover, many people had heard that Shen Xiang was also participating in the competition, so they decided to harass Shen Xiang outside the venue so that he could not concentrate on refining the elixir.
Shen Xiang did not see Yun Xiaodao and the others, and the head teacher Gu Dongchen was not there either. This made Shen Xiang secretly despise Zhu Rong and the others. They left without even saying goodbye to him, but Wu Qianqian came to tell him, which made him feel warm in his heart. He did not reject Wu Qianqian, the number one beauty, but instead had a faint liking for her.
The entire competition was supervised by Elder Dan. Under the gaze of her flaming eyes, many alchemists felt a chill down their spines. Everyone was afraid of this mysterious and moody Elder Dan. If they angered Elder Dan, Shen Xiang would be a lesson for them.
Although Elder Dan targeted Shen Xiang, Shen Xiang was from the Taidan Royal Court. Many people believed that Elder Dan 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? It is far beyond my expectations." Elder Dan condensed his voice into a thread and transmitted it to Shen Xiang's ears.
"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 smug smile.
"Hmph, what do you need so many Qingxuan fruits for? You don't even know how to refine them!" Elder Dan said coldly.
"Can't I eat it? The food is mine, I can do whatever I want with it, what's it to you?" Shen Xiang said with a smile, and when he saw Elder Dan trembling with anger, he was overjoyed in his heart, with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, full of pride.
"The alchemy competition is about to begin. If anyone cheats or breaks the rules, I will expel him from Taiwu Sect. Hurry up and choose your seat!" Elder Dan shouted coldly. His smart and majestic voice made everyone tremble and the square fell silent.
Just as Shen Xiang was about to choose a position, he heard the Dan Elder say: "Shen Xiang is refining the elixir beside me, you are full of tricks, I am worried that you will cheat by some means invisible to the naked eye, I want to see how you refine it!"
When others were refining pills, they were on a huge platform in the middle of the square, which was a distance away from the platform where Elder Dan stood, which made it easier for people to breathe. If you were close to Elder Dan, it would be very difficult to breathe, because Elder Dan made people afraid.
Shen Xiang just snorted softly. He was not afraid of Elder Dan at all. After all, she was his nephew, and she had supervised him in refining pills before.
At this time, a man in his twenties with a childish look walked towards the platform where Elder Dan was. What was surprising was that although the man had an arrogant look on his face, the white jade badge on his waist made many people stunned!
Everyone immediately thought of who this person was.
"Isn't this the young third-stage alchemist from the Lu family at Yaowang Mountain? I remember his name is Lu Zhengnan. He is so young, and his strength hasn't even reached the Zhenwu realm, but he is already a third-stage alchemist. It seems like he will become a famous figure in the future." An old man said.
Shen Xiang had heard about this person from Wu Qianqian last night. He had also heard of the name of the Lu family in Yaowang Mountain. They were a family that controlled a large number of medicinal materials, and even had things like Qingxuan Fruit, but they didn't sell them. There were also many strong people in the Lu family, and it was said that there was even an immortal who had reached the Nirvana realm.
"Disciple Lu Zhengnan pays his respects to Elder Dan!" Lu Zhengnan saluted Elder Dan very respectfully, but his expression was still full of arrogance.
"What's the matter with you?" Elder Dan saw Lu Zhengnan's ugly face and was secretly angry in her heart, but she didn't vent her anger. In comparison, she felt that Shen Xiang was more adorable than Lu Zhengnan.
"My disciple was lucky enough to enter the Zhenwu Realm last night, but I learned that those in the Zhenwu Realm cannot participate in the event. However, I really want to participate because I want to compete with Shen Xiang." Lu Zhengnan looked at Shen Xiang, his eyes full of provocation and contempt, as if to say, I am now a third-stage alchemist, and I am still in the Zhenwu Realm, you are far worse than me!
Shen Xiang sighed secretly. Although he admitted that Lu Zhengnan had good talent, he was still too young. He could already see that Lu Zhengnan would be defeated miserably.
However, to other disciples, this was explosive news. Lu Zhengnan had actually entered the Zhenwu realm. He was only twenty-one years old. Although he was two years older than Yun Xiaodao, Lu Zhengnan was an alchemist, so everyone thought that Lu Zhengnan was much more talented than Yun Xiaodao.
"If it's just about refining pills, then that's fine. I allow you to participate in this competition, but when it comes to fighting, you'd better use your intuition!" Elder Dan said lightly. She just wanted to see if Shen Xiang would lose to Lu Zhengnan in the end.
Chen Xiang smiled and said, "Brother Lu is a rare genius that only appears once in a thousand years. It is my blessing to be able to compete with you. Since Brother Lu is coming for me, then I will make a small bet to liven up the atmosphere!"
Shen Xiang is going to gamble again. Last time he won a disciple in the Zhenwu Realm and the qualification to enter the Taidan Royal Academy. What is he going to bet on this time?
Elder Dan also found it very interesting at this time. Although she targeted Shen Xiang everywhere, she cared about Shen Xiang very much. As soon as she came out of seclusion, the first thing she did was to find out what kind of things Shen Xiang had done. Shen Xiang did not disappoint her and caused a lot of big things.
"I couldn't ask for more!" Lu Zhengnan smiled proudly. Even if Shen Xiang didn't mention it, he would still point it out. He was in the Zhenwu realm and was also a third-stage alchemist. This was certified by the Danxiang Tower and represented a supreme honor.
"Since you were the one who said you wanted to bet first, what's your bet?" Lu Zhengnan said. He knew that Shen Xiang had a strong foundation, and the stakes must be huge, but he was not worried because he believed he could win.
Every gambler thinks so.
Shen Xiang smiled faintly, and when he turned his palm, three pills shining with brilliant green and golden light appeared between his fingers.
Shen Xiang actually used the three foundation-building pills on his body to gamble!
