Chapter 142: The Last Struggle

Chapter 142: The Last Struggle "Three Foundation Establishment Pills, do you want to bet?" Shen Xiang said: "In the competition, whoever ranks higher than the other party will win!"

These three foundation-building pills blinded the eyes of everyone who got hit just now, and this is just a small gamble?

It was difficult to find a Foundation Establishment Pill, but Shen Xiang actually got three at once, and even used them for gambling. This was simply a waste of money to the extreme. He actually used such a thing to gamble. Many people cursed Shen Xiang. Sёarᴄh the nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Elder Dan was also shocked, and she immediately sent a message to Shen Xiang: "Where did you get it?"

At the same time, Lu Zhengnan also asked: "Where did you get this foundation-building pill?"

If it was refined by Shen Xiang, Lu Zhengnan would have no point in betting.

"Don't worry about where I came from. Do you dare to bet? If you don't want to bet, then forget it." Shen Xiang said lightly. Anyone who looks carefully can definitely see that among these three foundation-building pills, two are darker in color, while the other one is brighter.

Of course, no one would have thought that Shen Xiang could refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, and Elder Dan did not think that Shen Xiang could do it. In her opinion, it was too early for Shen Xiang, not to mention that Shen Xiang did not have a Fire Soul.

"Forget about the bet!" Shen Xiang put away the Foundation Establishment Pill with a look of disappointment on his face.

Can Lu Zhengnan not gamble? This will not only embarrass him, but also make the entire Lu family laugh. He said: "I don't have the foundation-building pill now, but if I lose, I will definitely give you three foundation-building pills within ten days!"

Shen Xiang had three Foundation Establishment Pills, but he did not eat them. Everyone guessed that Shen Xiang was just preparing to enter the True Martial Realm. However, this made many people envious. He could actually get three Foundation Establishment Pills to prepare. Everyone had already foreseen that Shen Xiang would become a True Martial Realm warrior in the near future.

The old alchemists on the competition stage could only sigh in their hearts that they were not destined to win, but they did not think that their alchemy skills would lose to those of the two young men.

Everyone was very curious about the origin of Shen Xiang's Foundation Establishment Pill, but Shen Xiang didn't say anything. Even to Elder Dan, Shen Xiang didn't tell him where it came from. He was deliberately trying to make Elder Dan depressed.

The alchemy competition is very comprehensive, and all require the refining of some commonly used elixirs. The highest level is the upper-grade spiritual-level elixir, but those who come to participate in the competition may only be able to refine middle-grade spiritual-level elixirs at most, which is Lu Zhengnan, because the third-stage alchemist needs to refine three types of middle-grade spiritual-level elixirs.

The first competition is to refine a lower-grade ordinary body-tempering pill within half an hour!

In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed. The first one to succeed in refining the alchemy was Lu Zhengnan, and Shen Xiang deliberately slowed down the process and opened the alchemy furnace when it was almost finished. He did this to make Lu Zhengnan underestimate his enemy, and it would also save energy and make him feel much more relaxed.

Elder Dan saw through Shen Xiang's purpose at a glance. When Shen Xiang refined the lower-grade Spiritual Grade True Qi Pill, it was very easy. Not to mention this kind of low-grade pill.

In the first game, five people failed to meet the requirements and left quietly.

The second round is to refine a mid-grade ordinary-level cleansing marrow pill, and the third round is to refine a top-grade ordinary-level Dayuan pill. Both are required to be completed within half an hour!

In these two games, Lu Zhengnan was still the first to open the alchemy furnace, and Shen Xiang still opened the lid at the end, which made Lu Zhengnan secretly proud.

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

It was already noon, but the competition was still going on with little rest time, which tested the endurance of the alchemists. The spectators continued to wait for a result, but some impatient people had already left early.

The fourth round is a lower-grade spiritual Qi pill, which must be completed within one hour!

This is a very high requirement for alchemists below the Zhenwu realm. Many people walked off the stage without even refining their medicine. Some did not prepare any medicinal materials, but most of them thought they could not meet the requirements.

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

True Qi Pills were still easy for Shen Xiang. He usually had to refine a lot of them for Long Xueyi, the greedy little dragon, to eat as candy beans. However, he still deliberately slowed down the process and opened the pill furnace only when the time was up. Lu Zhengnan continued to be high-profile and was always the first to open the lid, and the quality of the pills was always good.

When the time was up, another eight alchemists left, and now there were only seven left. Elder Dan nodded in satisfaction at this result. Excluding Shen Xiang and Lu Zhengnan, there were five ordinary martial arts alchemists who could refine true qi pills within an hour. This was much better than in previous years, although these five alchemists were all quite old.

In the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly in the sky, but now was the tense final moment of the alchemy competition.

"In the last round, you can play freely for four hours. Refine the highest-grade elixir you can. Whoever has the highest-grade elixir in the end will win. You can refine multiple types of elixirs to increase your chances of winning." Elder Dan shouted.

The corners of Lu Zhengnan's mouth curled up slightly, because he knew that he would definitely win this game. Because he was a third-stage alchemist, he could refine three kinds of spiritual-grade intermediate pills. He didn't think Shen Xiang and other alchemists could do it, and he was sure that he could refine those three kinds within four hours.

Chen Xiang looked at Lu Zhengnan with a smile, and said: "Brother Lu, you look so confident, I guess you are sure of winning. Do you want to increase the stakes?"

Shen Xiang actually wanted to increase the stakes at this time. The onlookers who were feeling bored suddenly seemed to be energized. If he increased the stakes again, then if he won, wouldn't he make a fortune?

Many people in the audience were discussing with their gambling friends about raising the stakes. They all made a small bet, but most of them bet on Lu Zhengnan. After all, the jade token of the third-level alchemist on his waist had great prestige.

Elder Dan looked at the smiling Shen Xiang and knew that Lu Zhengnan was going to be in trouble. This was how she lost to Shen Xiang last time, although she only let Shen Xiang enter the Taidan Royal Court.

Gamblers will always increase the stakes when they think they are sure to win, and even put all their assets on it. This is the case with Shen Xiang and Lu Zhengnan now. They both think they are sure to win, so they increase the stakes without hesitation.

"I'll match whatever you offer!" Lu Zhengnan said with confidence on his face. The other alchemists had already started making pills. They didn't want to accompany these two lunatics here.

"I heard that you have a Nine Sun Blazing Flame Fruit in Yaowang Mountain..." Shen Xiang laughed: "If I bet with this little Hell Ganoderma Lucidum, are you willing to bet with the Nine Sun Blazing Flame Fruit?"

When the black hell ganoderma appeared, the whole audience was shocked. Although it was only the size of a palm, it was extremely precious because it was a holy medicine that could bring the dead back to life.

The Nine Yang Flame Fruit is also a precious fire-attributed medicinal ingredient of the upper grade Xuan level. It is mainly used to refine a Xuan-level upper grade pill called Xuan Yang Fire Pill. The Xuan Yang Fire Pill has a very good effect, which is that it can allow people to continuously enhance their flames, which is of great help to the alchemist's flame. This is only known to most people, but Su Meiyao told him that the Xuan Yang Fire Pill is the best pill to feed the fire soul.

Shen Xiang can't use it now, but he will definitely need it in the future. Su Meiyao said that if you want to walk easily on the road of alchemy, it is necessary to have a fire soul.

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

"I'm worried that Brother Lu can't make the decision. After all, this is a very valuable thing of the Lu family." Shen Xiang said with a worried look on his face. If the Lu family doesn't give it, he has no choice, and the Lu family will at most be labeled as a dishonest person.

"I have the final say!" Lu Zhengnan said seriously.
