Chapter 838: Dan King Appears
There were many alchemists among those who watched Shen Xiang making the elixir, and there were also some high-level alchemists. Even those who were not alchemists were all from famous families and had some knowledge of alchemy.
"This kid's flame is very ordinary. He has no fire soul, nor many fire veins, but his flame is very powerful. What's going on?" An old man murmured in confusion.
Although Shen Xiang tried his best to conceal the breath of fire, some experts who were very sensitive to fire still sensed the abnormality.
"Mr. Wang, is this flame very powerful? I can't see it. It feels very weak. I think he should still be using all his strength to burn the roots and heart of the golden iron tree. Although these two medicinal herbs are about to die, not everyone can refine them easily." said Tan Zhongsen, the son of the King of Pills and also an alchemist.
Old Wang shook his head and said, "This young man is an expert in alchemy. He obviously has a solid foundation and is much better than you! When a powerful alchemist is refining an elixir, he is precisely controlled by the alchemist. He restrains his anger and burns the medicinal materials with all his strength, thus forming a momentum!
"Even some ninth-level alchemists find it difficult to make flames possess invisible 'force'."
Hearing the old man's words, everyone was slightly surprised. There were several ninth-level alchemists present, all of whom were alchemists who could refine three kinds of earth-level top-grade pills. They were only one step away from becoming the Alchemy King. There were two of them present, and Old Wang was one of them.
"At least I can't do it!" Another hunchbacked yellow-haired old man sighed.
"So, he is a ninth-level alchemist?" Ji Meixian asked, extremely surprised. Ever since she started arguing with Shen Xiang, she had looked up a lot of things about Shen Xiang and knew that Shen Xiang was still young, not even a hundred years old.
The old man shook his head and said, "I'm not sure. He didn't take the test, so it's hard to say. But if he can refine a difficult-to-refine earth-level middle-grade pill like the Iron Bone Pill, he must be at least an eighth-level alchemist!"
Tan Zhongsen, the eighth-level alchemist, looked a little unhappy after hearing the authoritative speech. The ability to control fire is very important to alchemists, and it is the key to successfully condensing pills, but the fire control ability of this kid in front of him is even better than that of a ninth-level alchemist!
Those who made a big bet all looked unhappy. Those who could turn waste medicinal materials into pills were usually alchemists with strong fire control ability.
Shen Xiang's control over flames is very handy, as easy and simple as controlling his own hands and feet. This has a lot to do with his cultivation of the way of gods, the art of fire god, and his possession of the Qiankun Fire Soul.
The roots and heart of the golden iron tree are indeed difficult to burn, but by using time acceleration inside the Flame Dragon Furnace and combining it with the powerful Qiankun Fire, they can be burned away easily.
But at this moment, the Flame Dragon Furnace suddenly shook violently, and Shen Xiang was sweating profusely. After seeing this, those who had placed bets were ecstatic and wanted to laugh a few times, because they knew that Shen Xiang was about to die.
"Changzi, do you still have crystals on you?" Shen Xiang suddenly used his spiritual sense to send a message to Duan Sanchang.
Duan Sanchang felt sweat on his back after seeing Shen Xiang's alchemy furnace shaking. If Shen Xiang lost, that would be more than 20 billion crystal stones!
"There are still some. What do you want to do?" Duan Sanchang suddenly felt something was wrong.
"Hurry up and place your bet. I am doing this on purpose to show others, so that they will think that I am bound to lose." Shen Xiang sent a message to Duan Sanchang.
Duan Sanchang sighed in his heart. This guy Shen Xiang was really too sinister. He secretly laughed and immediately said, "Little brother, are you still accepting bets now? Since it's a bet, the more dangerous it is, the more exciting it is. Although I am not a gambler, I have experienced that feeling before."
Everyone secretly despised Duan Sanchang. He was about to fail, but he still placed a bet. Wasn't he trying to make Shen Xiang lose even more miserably?
Chen Xiang opened his eyes and sneered: "Do you really think I will lose? Well, go ahead and place your bets, and see who will be the final winner!"
Everyone was shocked. The alchemy furnace was about to burst, but they were still accepting bets.
Duan Sanchang laughed: "This little brother is really generous, this is 500 million crystal stones!"
Duan Sanchang threw a storage bag onto the ground. These storage bags contained crystals. With a scan using his spiritual sense, he could see the crystals stored inside. At this time, there was a large pile of them on the ground, which were all bets placed by other people.
Just after Duan Sanchang increased the stakes, some people also dumped all their low-priced goods.
"I still have 100 million crystals here. If this little brother wants to suffer, I will grant his wish."
"I'll come too. I still have 200 million. This is the last one!"
"Three hundred million, let's go all out and kill this guy!"
"..."
There were also some old guys among them, and some even threw out swords and other things.
At this time, all added up, a total of 30 billion crystals have been accumulated!
Shen Xiang laughed in his heart. He had indeed made the alchemy furnace shake on purpose, just to squeeze out all the wealth of this group of people.
Ji Meixian still didn't place a bet. She was tempted at first because she also wanted Shen Xiang to lose miserably. However, she knew Shen Xiang's identity and knew that Duan Sanchang was Shen Xiang's friend. When she saw Duan Sanchang acting as a stand-in, she knew there was something fishy going on.
Mu Jialan, the Peach Blossom Fairy, had a leisurely look and clear beautiful eyes. She quietly watched what was happening in front of her. She was not a gambler and did not compete for fame and fortune, so she was not tempted by Shen Xiang.
The alchemy furnace was shaking more and more violently, as if it would crack and explode at any time. Everyone stayed away, fearing that they would be hit by the fragments of the alchemy furnace.
Dingsheng Medicine Shop was very big, gathering many people, and it was quite famous. During the time when Shen Xiang was here, the news spread throughout the whole street. Some young men from famous families who loved gambling all rushed over and gathered in the spacious hall.
They asked Shen Xiang and found out that they could still place bets, so they dropped the crystals without hesitation.
Soon, everyone's bets had accumulated to 40 billion crystals!
"Dingsheng Medicine Shop has been open for so long, but this is the first time it's been so lively. I originally thought that some Medicine King came to support my business, but I didn't expect that someone would be gambling here." An old voice came slowly.
"Dad!" Tan Zhongsen hurried over. The person who came was none other than Dan King Tan Sheng.
They actually attracted the King of Pills. Everyone was secretly surprised. Some people did not expect to have the opportunity to witness the King of Pills.
Dan King Tan Sheng is an old man who looks pleasing to the eye. Although he looks like an old man, his voice carries a kind of aura. His clothes are not luxurious, but very elegant, and he is well-groomed, giving off a fairy-like vibe.
"Little brother, you offered ten white jade lotus seeds at once, and also purchased such a valuable fortune box. I believe you must have a certain background. I wonder if you are willing to accept the bet at this time?" Tan Sheng said loudly.
Being able to trick a Pill King into a trap, Shen Xiang was overjoyed. He smiled and said, "Of course I accept. With the Pill King's support, even if I lose, I will be very happy!"
