Unwinnable!
Peak rank-5!
It was even possible that he had reached rank-6!
It was even possible that he had reached rank-6!
However, the blue-clothed martial artist was good at hiding his aura. Normal martial artists would not be able to detect the strength of his early-stage rank-6 soul force.
Zhao Kuo's soul force was only at peak rank-5. Why was the blue-clothed martial artist's soul force infinitely close to rank-6?
Was he not from the Alchemy Union?
Ning Yue had already learned from Ren Xiangtian that the Alchemy Union did not have any geniuses whose soul force had reached rank-6. In other words, the blue-clothed martial artist next to Zhao Kuo was most likely not from the union.
"I've got it."
Noticing the change in Ning Yue's expression, Zhao Kuo rolled his eyes and said, "Ning Yue, I know this bet is not in your favor. How about this, let's change the bet?"
"How?" Ning Yue asked.
"It's simple. The martial artist next to me is called Shi Yang. If Lu Wei can defeat him in alchemy, I'll lose three hundred thousand supreme-grade Origin Crystals to you." Zhao Kuo did not even blink when he lied. "Shi Yang is also a rank-3 alchemist. He's on par with Lu Wei. No one is taking advantage of the other."
Pfft!
Hearing Zhao Kuo's' serious' words, Ning Yue could not help but burst out laughing.
He was too good at pretending.
Shi Yang was a rank-6 alchemist, but Zhao Kuo said he was a rank-3 alchemist.
"Ning Yue, you've won big this time."
Zhao Kuo did not know why Ning Yue was laughing. He thought Ning Yue thought he had won big. He said, "If Lu Wei defeats Shi Yang, I'll give you three hundred thousand supreme-grade Origin Crystals. If Lu Wei loses to Shi Yang, you only have to kneel down and apologize."
"Tsk tsk, your kneel is worth three hundred thousand supreme-grade Origin Crystals. Even I'm a little envious."
"Are you envious?" Ning Yue said calmly.
Zhao Kuo nodded and said, "Of course I'm envious. A kneel is worth three hundred thousand …"
"Since you are envious, kneel before me in front of so many people. I will give you three hundred thousand transcendent-grade Origin Crystals."
Ning Yue interrupted Zhao Kuo and said coolly.
Whoosh!
Although Ning Yue's voice was not loud, it contained a faint fluctuation of Yuan Qi, allowing the surrounding warriors to hear it clearly.
At that moment, everyone turned to look at Zhao Kuo, wanting to see if he would agree or not.
"Damn it!"
Being stared at by so many people, Zhao Kuo's face turned green with anger.
Making him kneel down to Ning Yue in front of so many people, even if he was given a million transcendent-grade essence crystals, he would not do it either!
To put it simply, he couldn't afford to lose face.
"It's just a joke. Isn't it just a bet on alchemy? It's no big deal."
How could Ning Yue not know what Zhao Kuo was thinking?
Besides, even if Zhao Kuo knelt before him, he would not give him three hundred thousand supreme grade Essence Crystals.
It was not worth it at all.
In Ning Yue's opinion, Zhao Kuo's kneel was worth one low-grade Essence Crystal at most.
"So, you agree?" Zhao Kuo's face lit up, and he hurriedly said, "A gentleman keeps his word. You can't go back on your word!"
"I'm not you. Why would I go back on my word?" Ning Yue shrugged and said indifferently.
"You're just a glib talker," Zhao Kuo said viciously. "I'll make you cry later!"
"Zhao Kuo, I don't really trust your character. How about this, as long as you can take out three hundred thousand transcendent-grade essence crystals, I'll bet with you," Ning Yue said calmly.
Three hundred thousand transcendent-grade essence crystals was not a small number. Ning Yue did not believe Zhao Kuo could take it out in one go.
If he put it on credit, it would not be worth it.
"Hehe, since I'm here to compete in alchemy, I'll pay the three hundred thousand transcendent-grade essence crystals."
At this moment, Shi Yang smiled and took out a storage bag from his robe. He tossed it to Ning Yue and said, "There are three hundred thousand transcendent-grade essence crystals in there. You can check them."
"There's no need to check. There are exactly three hundred thousand transcendent-grade essence crystals in there."
Ning Yue flicked his sleeve, and a cold light shot out.
The cold light hit the storage bag, and it instantly turned around and returned to Shi Yang's side.
"Ning Yue is really generous. He chose to trust Shi Yang without checking."
"That's three hundred thousand transcendent-grade essence crystals. What if Lu Wei defeats Shi Yang and finds that there are not so many? Wouldn't it be a big loss?"
"Ning Yue is indeed a man of integrity."
"…"
The discussions from the surrounding martial artists infuriated Zhao Kuo.
Didn't Ning Yue just not check the storage bag? Did they have to praise him like this?
"It'd be weird if he didn't check."
If the crowd knew that the cold light shot out by Ning Yue contained a strand of soul power, what would they think?
One should know that with that strand of soul power, Ning Yue knew exactly how many transcendent-grade essence crystals were in the storage bag.
"Since we're all third-grade alchemists, let's make a third-grade elixir, the Wind Speed Elixir."
Shi Yang did not take the storage bag either. Instead, he tossed it aside and took out another storage bag from his robe. He said, "The Wind Speed Elixir is a third-grade elixir. It's not too difficult to make. Whoever can make the highest quality Wind Speed Elixir within the allotted time will be the winner."
"I have no objections." Ning Yue shrugged, indicating that he didn't care.
"Ning Yue!"
While Ning Yue didn't mind, Lu Wei's expression darkened.
She was only an early-stage third-grade alchemist, and had never made a Wind Speed Elixir before. How could she possibly make it in front of so many people?
"Don't worry, it's just a Wind Speed Elixir. With me here, not only can you make it, you might even be able to make a transcendent-grade Wind Speed Elixir." Ning Yue walked up to Lu Wei, patted her shoulder, and said, "Don't feel pressured. Just do it like you usually do."
"Hmph! If she can make a transcendent-grade Wind Speed Elixir, I'll kneel and kowtow to you! "
Zhao Kuo snorted.
Zhao Kuo knew very well that Lu Wei was only an early-stage third-grade alchemist, and it was still unknown whether she could make a Wind Speed Elixir. How could Ning Yue say that she could make a transcendent-grade Wind Speed Elixir?
What a fool's dream!
"Zhao Kuo, everyone heard you. You're the one who said it. I didn't force you," Ning Yue said in a clear voice.
"What's wrong with what I said? A gentleman keeps his word!" Zhao Kuo said coldly, "As long as Lu Wei can make a transcendent-grade Wind Speed Elixir, I'll kneel and apologize!"
"Ning Yue, Lu Wei is only a third-grade alchemist …" Sikong Ling and Zhou Tong said hesitantly with anxious expressions.
"Don't worry, it's just a transcendent-grade Wind Speed Elixir. Lu Wei can easily make it."
Ning Yue waved his hand, indicating that Sikong Ling and Zhou Tong need not worry.
The reason why Ning Yue was so confident was because when he patted Lu Wei's shoulder, he had secretly slipped the Storage Ring on his finger into Lu Wei's pocket.
Inside the Storage Ring was Xun Jianwen, a peak seventh-grade alchemist. With Xun Jianwen's alchemy skills, making a transcendent-grade Wind Speed Elixir would be a piece of cake.
