Chapter 2166: Xiang Hongdao
Shen Xiang took out the jade token and entered the competition platform in the middle of the square with Xiao Ping. The competition platform was very high, allowing many people to see the people on it.
There are only about a hundred alchemists who can reach this level!
"Prince Ping, where is your master?" Shen Xiang was standing next to Xiao Ping.
"He will show up soon!" Xiao Ping chuckled, "My master rarely shows up, but today..."
Xiao Ping had just finished speaking when an old man with white hair and white clothes and a youthful face suddenly appeared on the stage. He looked like a master.
The other alchemists on the stage immediately showed reverence on their faces. Shen Xiang was now certain that this old man with a Taoist immortal style was the legendary number one alchemy god of the Shending Kingdom, Xiang Hongdao, and was also the only great state master who remained neutral.
He looked at Xiao Ping kindly, and then looked at Shen Xiang seriously. How could he not know about the competition between Shen Xiang and Xiao Ping before? So he personally came to host this alchemy competition today, on the one hand to see Shen Xiang make the alchemy with the Tianlian technique, and on the other hand to protect Shen Xiang from sneak attacks.
"There are two rounds of competition. The first round is to refine the divine pills that everyone is very familiar with. The first is the Heavenly Fire Divine Pill, and the second is the top-grade Five Elements Divine Pill. I will provide the medicinal materials!" Xiang Hongdao put his hands behind his back in front of the alchemy gods, walked back and forth, and explained the rules: "As everyone knows, today's competition is to show your potential to become a great national master in the future. I set the rules. Although it is harsh, if you can pass it, I will personally train you."
"As long as my requirements are met, I will take as much as you can." Xiang Hongdao said again when he saw the questioning looks on everyone's faces.
Since Xiao Ping's level is very high, if Xiang Hongdao only sets the rules based on Xiao Ping's standards, then they will probably have no chance.
"Don't doubt that I favor anyone. If you cannot meet my requirements, it proves that you are still qualified to be my apprentice! The same goes for Xiao Ping. If he cannot meet the standards I set today, I will expel him from my school." Xiang Hongdao's words caused a sensation in the square.
Perhaps he was the only one who could say such words to drive Xiao Ping away. After all, he was the number one alchemy god in Shending Kingdom!
"First, it's the Heavenly Fire Divine Pill, the total quality must reach six hundred!" Xiang Hongdao took out a round disc. Xiao Ping had used this artifact to test its quality before!
If the total quality is to reach seven hundred, then six pills must be refined in one furnace, and each pill must be of one hundred quality. This is really too difficult. Before, when Xiao Ping refined the Five Elements Divine Pill, the quality of each pill could only be maintained at ninety, and the quantity was less than these six pills.
Hearing this request, only a few Alchemy Gods knew that it could only be achieved by refining a super high-quality Lingguang Divine Pill, which was indeed very difficult! However, when I thought that this was the standard for the future Grand Master, I could understand it even if it was difficult.
"After you pass this level, I will tell you the standard of the top-grade Five Elements Divine Pill. Now you can start to collect the divine medicine. You can use your own alchemy furnace, but you must check it for me." Xiang Hongdao said: "Five hours!"
Five hours! These ten or so people immediately stood out. They simply couldn't do it. Even if they were to refine it normally, it would take them more than five hours!
Xiao Ping looked at Shen Xiang and smiled slightly: "Are you under a lot of pressure?"
Chen Xiang smiled faintly and said, "Not at all. I think you will lose to me at this level, and lose miserably! Of course, just don't get expelled from the sect."
"You are so arrogant!" Xiao Ping laughed.
"I would not bother to be arrogant to ordinary people! But you are different. You are a prince, a disciple of the great national teacher, and you have the strength of a third-class Divine King. I must be better than you in alchemy. This way I will have a great sense of accomplishment." Shen Xiang spoke the truth. Xiao Ping was much higher than him in status and strength. If he could defeat him, it would bring him a mental improvement.
Shen Xiang had refined the Heavenly Fire Divine Pill before, and it had even mutated, so he was quite confident in himself. He believed that the great master Xiang Hongdao would definitely be able to do the same as him, or even better than him, so he set such a standard.
Xiao Ping doesn't have any pressure now, and you can tell at a glance that he can definitely achieve it!
"Want to take a gamble?" Xiao Ping received a portion of the magic medicine, and said to Shen Xiang with a smile: "This will add a little pressure to both of us. Don't you think we don't have any pressure now? There is no atmosphere at all, it feels like refining the pill normally."
There are also several very powerful young people among this group of Alchemy Gods, but now they are ignored by Shen Xiang and Xiao Ping, and they also feel a lot of pressure at this time, but Shen Xiang and Xiao Ping are able to chat and laugh, and even say that the pressure is not great enough.
"I don't have anything to bet!" Shen Xiang wanted to have a good time. He was confident in himself, but Xiao Ping was a prodigal son who could easily take out terrifying things to gamble.
"How about betting on divine powers? If you lose, you can take out one of your own divine powers and give it to the other party." Xiao Ping's shocking words caused the whole audience to fall into a frenzy of discussion.
Taking out one's own godhead would not only require one to endure tremendous pain, but would also cause one's cultivation to regress! It was said that after one took out one's godhead, it would be difficult to cultivate back.
However, Xiang Hongdao, as the master, did not react at all, as if he was encouraging this behavior.
"You're at a disadvantage this way. You're a third-class God King, and one of your Godheads is worth at least several of mine. Are you willing to play it this way?" Shen Xiang's heart was also beating wildly. This was his first time to gamble with Godheads, but he was not afraid.
Xiao Baifeng just wanted to go up and stop Shen Xiang, but was stopped by Concubine Lian. Concubine Lian shook her head at her: "Don't worry about him, even if he loses, the Grand Master will ensure that he can leave safely."
Huang Jintian laughed and said, "This gambling method is really exciting. I'll try it if I get a chance!"
Huang Yantian smiled grimly: "How about we make a bet now? Let's see if that little brat can win!"
"I will definitely support my disciple. Do you want to support Prince Ping? You are sure to lose!" Huang Jintian curled his lips.
Huang Yantian did not answer, because he also supported Shen Xiang!
Xiao Baifeng was speechless. In her eyes, Shen Xiang and his master and disciple were all lunatics. They actually dared to make fun of the Godhead that she had worked so hard to condense. It was very difficult for her to condense a Godhead now!
"No problem for me!" Xiao Ping smiled faintly: "Are you willing to bet?"
"Okay! But after you lose, I can't give it to you right away. You have to wait until the end." Shen Xiang nodded. They didn't look like they were betting on godhood at all, but rather like they were betting on stones. There was no sense of tension at all.
Shen Xiang felt that Xiao Ping was very courageous. Xiao Ping had seen his Five Elements Divine Pill with spiritual light before, and he also knew that his Heavenly Refining Technique was very powerful. Now he even dared to bet his own divinity with him. Therefore, he believed that Xiao Ping must have made great progress in these days, otherwise he would never be so confident.
Yue'er sent a message to Shen Xiang: "This Xiao Ping might have used a time formation or something like that to give himself more time to improve, so don't underestimate him!"
