In the Pill Court, Jiang Xiaofan and Li Yun were fighting. Jiang Xiaofan won in alchemy, which made Li Yun's face turn pale. He held a Fasting Pill in his hand and trembled slightly. He looked at Jiang Xiaofan with incomparable anger.
He had analyzed the Fasting Pill that Jiang Xiaofan had given to him three days ago. It was indeed very good, but he believed that even if Jiang Xiaofan really knew how to concoct such a pill, he could still surpass him. And in fact, he had indeed surpassed him. The Fasting Pill he concocted today was slightly better than the one Jiang Xiaofan had given him three days ago.
However, at this moment, his eyes were spitting fire and his body was trembling. Not only had Jiang Xiaofan really concocted a Fasting Pill, but the Fasting Pill he had concocted now was actually much better than the one he had given him three days ago. They were not on the same level at all.
"Heh, old thing, you want to trick me?"
Jiang Xiaofan sneered in his heart. Would he tell these people that the Fasting Pill he had given Li Yun as compensation was only concocted when he first started experimenting? Although the grade was better than the Imperial Heaven Gate's, how could it be compared to the one he had concocted now?
"Wuwei Peak, Jiang Xiaofan wins!"
The Hall Master of the Mental Cultivation Hall's voice sounded a little stiff as he coldly announced this fact. At the same time, the way he looked at Jiang Xiaofan changed a little, with a hint of surprise.
He still held two Fasting Pills in his hand. One was concocted by Li Yun, and the other was concocted by Jiang Xiaofan. Comparing the two, if Li Yun's Fasting Pill was a sharp stone, then Jiang Xiaofan's Fasting Pill was obviously gold.
This sentence immediately caused an uproar. The spectators were all shocked and looked at Jiang Xiaofan with pale faces. This person had actually created another miracle and defeated an old alchemist from the Pill Court in terms of alchemy.
"Not bad, young man. You didn't disappoint us!"
Yu Wuyan chuckled and nodded to Jiang Xiaofan in satisfaction. Her cultivation was profound and she had maintained her appearance well. She looked very young and had an elegant temperament. When she said "we", it naturally included Ye Qiuyu and Ye Yuanxue.
"Thank you for your praise, Senior." Jiang Xiaofan bowed humbly.
"Pervert, not bad!"
Ye Yuanxue was very happy. She stretched out her two lily-white hands and rubbed Jiang Xiaofan's cheeks, making him speechless. Why did this action make him feel so awkward? He felt that the two of them should switch positions.
He tilted his head to look at Li Yun and was about to leave with Ye Yuanxue. Suddenly, he turned back to look at Li Yun and teased, "By the way, Senior Li, I'm waiting for you to come to Wuwei Peak to apologize. Don't forget it because you're old."
"Wait!"
Suddenly, Li Yun called out to Jiang Xiaofan. His face was somewhat gloomy, like dense clouds.
"What's the matter?"
Jiang Xiaofan turned back to look at him. Some disciples who were about to leave also stopped and looked over curiously. They didn't know what this old alchemist of the Pill Court wanted to do.
Li Yun bowed to the Hall Master of the Mental Cultivation Palace. He looked at Jiang Xiaofan and said, "I admit that I lost this bet. So, I would like to ask for your advice. Why don't we have another bet?"
Ye Yuanxue frowned slightly. Jiang Xiaofan was very casual. He said, "Sure, what do you want to bet?"
A cold light flashed in Li Yun's eyes. He said, "Since little friend Jiang can refine the Fasting Pill to such a level, your alchemy skills must be very high. Let's bet on refining the Origin Pill. What do you think?"
"Refining the Origin Pill!"
"Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
The onlookers were surprised. None of them knew alchemy. But even if they didn't know alchemy, many people knew that refining the Origin Pill required an extremely strong cultivation as support. Moreover, it required a very deep alchemy experience.
More importantly, refining the Origin Pill was different from refining the Fasting Pill. Refining the Origin Pill required a lot of precious materials. The materials used to refine the Fasting Pill were far from comparable. Imagine, where could an ordinary inner disciple get so many precious materials? Even the inner disciples of the seven main peaks found it difficult to get them, let alone Jiang Xiaofan. Everyone here knew that he was a disciple of Wuwei Peak. How could that place have such resources?
So it could be said that although he was good at refining the Fasting Pill, it was very likely that he had never refined the Origin Pill. Or even if he had refined the Origin Pill, it was only a few times. He was too inexperienced, because it was really difficult to find the materials to refine the Origin Pill.
Li Yun's cultivation was obviously much higher than Jiang Xiaofan's, and he lived in the Dan Court all year round. He didn't have to worry about the materials at all. God knows how many Origin Pills he had refined. Whether it was cultivation or experience, he was far better than Jiang Xiaofan. Now, he wanted to bet with Jiang Xiaofan on refining the Origin Pill. This made many people unhappy. They felt that it was really difficult and somewhat shameless.
Even the palace master of Yangxin Palace frowned. However, he didn't say anything. Instead, he looked at Jiang Xiaofan. Jiang Xiaofan had the right to agree and also the right to refuse. The choice was in his hands. He couldn't interfere.
Jiang Xiaofan muttered to himself. He looked at Li Yun and said, "The refining of the Origin Pill is very difficult. I have practiced it several times in the past, but I failed most of the time. But since you said so, I will reluctantly give it a try."
"Hua … …"
The scene immediately burst into an uproar. Many people were surprised. They didn't expect Jiang Xiaofan to accept. In these people's opinion, this bet was very unfavorable for Jiang Xiaofan.
However, these people soon became excited again. They all rubbed their fists because it was really not easy to see such an alchemy competition. Today, there were two matches in a row. These people were naturally very excited. They didn't care who won or lost. It had nothing to do with them.
Li Yun laughed in his heart. Most of the time, he would fail. Heh, as expected. It was just that the Fasting Pill was refined a lot, so it was better. However, he believed that it would be difficult for an ordinary disciple to find the materials to refine the Origin Pill.
He didn't show any expression on his face. He said calmly, "In that case, let's set the bet."
"Okay. How do you want to bet?" Jiang Xiaofan was very casual.
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Li Yun's eyes. He said, "If you win, not only will I go to Wuwei Peak to apologize, but I will also go with my family. But if you lose, just like before, you will cripple your own cultivation and come to my Dan Court to chop firewood!"
Jiang Xiaofan sneered, and said, "This bet of yours is really fair!"
Many people revealed looks of disdain. Even the expression of the Hall Master of Mental Cultivation became somewhat cold. Jiang Xiaofan had already been proven to be able to refine excellent Fasting Pills. He was very displeased that Li Yun said such a bet.
However, he didn't say anything. Although he put the interests of the Imperial Heaven Sect first, he was very fair in doing things. Since it was an alchemy competition, under the premise of fairness, he wouldn't interfere with any kind of bet as long as both sides agreed.
"You don't dare?" Li Yun sneered.
Jiang Xiaofan shook his head in disdain, and said, "Fine, I'll bet with you. However, I feel that you should add a little more stake. If you lose, you have to go to Wuwei Peak to apologize. Moreover, you have to kneel every three steps. How about it? Do you dare? If you don't dare, then forget it."
He very calmly passed the question to Li Yun, causing the latter's expression to darken. A cold light flashed in his eyes, but in the end, he nodded. With a dark expression, he said, "Fine, we'll do that!"
Very quickly, a new round of battles began. However, this time around, they were competing against Yuan Dan cultivators. This caused the hearts of many to beat faster. Yuan Dan was a much higher tier than Fasting Pills. They were definitely not on the same level.
This time, Li Yun's expression was especially solemn. That was because he was going to refine Origin Pills, which consumed even more energy than Fasting Pills. About 14 hours later, he wiped the sweat off his forehead. The cauldron was opened, and a rich fragrance wafted out.
Very obviously, his Origin Pills had been successfully refined, and were distributed to everyone here. Not long after, everyone's eyes widened. They were somewhat in disbelief, and appeared to be somewhat surprised.
"It's much better than the usual Origin Pills!"
These people naturally didn't know how to refine pills, but at least they could tell the difference between good and bad pills.
Jiang Xiaofan looked over, and suddenly pretended to be surprised. He said, "Elder Li, don't tell me that you've been cutting corners all this time? Now, in order to win against me, you're using your true skills. This isn't good, it's harming the interests of the sect!"
Li Yun's expression changed, and he shouted, "Ignorant child, don't talk nonsense!"
Jiang Xiaofan curled his lips, and said, "It doesn't seem like I'm talking nonsense. Look, the Fasting Pills and Origin Pills that you've refined now are much better than the usual ones. Even if your alchemy skills suddenly improved a little, it shouldn't have more than doubled in an instant. Don't tell me that your luck has suddenly improved."
The face of the Yangxin Palace Mistress suddenly turned cold, and she glanced over indifferently. Even many of the ordinary disciples felt the charm of the Yangxin Palace Mistress. Just like what Jiang Xiaofan said, there was something fishy going on.
Li Yun suddenly felt his body turn cold, and even the other alchemists of the Pill Court were no exception. He didn't dare to look into the eyes of the Yangxin Palace Mistress, and instead, he looked at Jiang Xiaofan and shouted, "Cut the crap, you can start now. Don't forget our bet!"
Jiang Xiaofan shook his head in disdain. His movements were very fast. After six hours, the cauldron was opened, and the Origin Pills that he had refined were successfully refined. This made the snow-white demonic beast on his shoulder swallow a mouthful of saliva, and it stretched out its claws to snatch the Origin Pills. However, it was slapped back by Jiang Xiaofan, and the snow-white demonic beast was so angry that it cried out twice and pulled his hair with all its strength.
"Let go, I'm going to faint. Can't you wait for a while? Don't you know what time it is now?"
Jiang Xiaofan rolled his eyes, and finally calmed the snow-white demonic beast down. It looked at him anxiously as he distributed all the Origin Pills to the onlookers, and then it went back to sleep.
Soon, there was a shocking uproar at the scene. Many of the disciples were shocked, and their faces turned pale. It was almost impossible for them to speak. They could only look at Jiang Xiaofan in shock, and their eyes were twitching violently.
Yu Wuyan and the Hall Mistress of the Yangxin Palace looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes. Because the elemental core that Jiang Xiaofan refined was two to three times better than the elemental core that Li Yun refined. This was simply unbelievable.
"You … Didn't you say that there was an eighty to ninety percent chance of failure? How … How is this possible? You are lying!"
Several alchemists' faces changed. Li Yun's body was trembling, and he roared at Jiang Xiaofan.
"Do you think I am lying to you? I am not like you, who usually skimps on refining Origin Pills. Now, in order to win against me, you have to show your true ability. To tell you the truth, I have refined Origin Pills ten times, and in the beginning, I failed eight or nine times. Although I succeeded later on, there was an eighty to ninety percent chance of failure. This sentence is absolutely true!"
Jiang Xiaofan said with conviction. Many people rolled their eyes and wanted to spit out their rice on the spot. So that was how he explained it. Many people looked at Li Yun sympathetically. What a tragic person.
