"Alright! However, Old Man wants to raise the stakes as well! "
Beidou Yankong glanced at Feng Wuchen and smiled. His smile was filled with confidence.
Since Feng Wuchen proposed the bet, Seven Star Divination had to accept it.
As the Great Elder of the Big Dipper Family, he believed that he was better than the Divine Alchemist in alchemy. If he didn't accept the bet, wouldn't he become a joke?
Seven Star Divination could see that Feng Wuchen had some status in the auction house and was valued by Chu Changkong.
However, Seven Star Divination didn't care about Feng Wuchen's status.
The Big Dipper Family was the strongest in the Nine Prefectures. No matter how high Feng Wuchen's status was, he was only a member of the auction house.
"May I know what Elder Seven Star wants to raise the stakes?" The Divine Alchemist asked.
Since Feng Wuchen was so confident, the Divine Alchemist didn't have to worry.
"Since this young man wants to bet the lives of my Big Dipper Family, Old Man will also bet his life." Seven Star Divination smiled proudly as he looked at Feng Wuchen.
"Elder Big Dipper seems to be very confident. Then it's settled. If the Divine Alchemist loses, you can take my life. If you lose, I'll kill him!" Feng Wuchen smiled faintly.
"Young man, wash your neck clean." Seven Star Divination sneered. With a wave of his hand, a crack appeared on the surface of the cauldron. With another wave of his hand, dozens of herbs flew up and entered the cauldron one by one.
Feng Wuchen smiled and said, "You only have three chances. If you can't refine it after three tries, it'll be your loss."
"Old Man has been refining the Blazing Sun Purple Spirit Pill for many years. Three tries is enough." Seven Star Divination was very confident as he poured his soul power into the cauldron.
"You overestimate yourself! Brat, you'll know what it means to overestimate yourself. "The middle-aged man behind Feng Wuchen gloated.
"Haha!" Feng Wuchen smiled coldly and didn't even look at the middle-aged man. In Feng Wuchen's eyes, the man was already a dead man.
An hour later, the Divine Alchemist had successfully refined a Heavenly Yuan Pill. The veins on the pill were clear and shiny, and its quality could be considered high. Compared to other alchemists, this Heavenly Yuan Pill was already very powerful.
"The pills are not bad." The Divine Alchemist nodded with satisfaction.
"As expected of the Divine Alchemist, the quality of the Heaven Yuan Dan is very high." Chu Changkong was secretly amazed. If it were him, he would not be able to refine such a high grade Heaven Yuan Dan.
"The quality of this Heavenly Yuan Pellet is indeed good. However, it's still lacking compared to the Heavenly Yuan Pellet refined by the Old Man." Beidou Divination also approved of this Heavenly Yuan Pellet, but he clearly said that the Divine Alchemist was inferior to him.
"The Divine Alchemist has already successfully refined it. Elder Beidou, don't make a mistake or you'll be the one to lose. If this news spreads, where will your old face go? Don't you think so? "Feng Wuchen said with a faint smile as he played with a wisp of green flame in his hand.
Feng Wuchen was not worried in the slightest. He looked as if he was waiting to kill the middle-aged man.
Beidou Divination frowned as his old face turned gloomy. A trace of anger surged in his heart.
Feng Wuchen looked as if he was certain of his victory, which made Beidou Yan Kong extremely unhappy.
"Quiet, don't disturb the elder's refining! If you say another word, I'll tear your mouth apart! "The middle-aged man said coldly as he narrowed his eyes.
"If you dare to insult Big Brother Feng again, I'll kill you right now!" Ling Xiaoxiao's voice was as cold as ice. The middle-aged man's insults had already angered Ling Xiaoxiao.
The middle-aged man was only at Sky Origin Stage 3, so Ling Xiaoxiao might not be any weaker than him.
"Don't worry, let him live a little longer!" Feng Wuchen said with a faint smile as he looked at the middle-aged man with a shocked expression.
"You!" The middle-aged man was furious, but he did not dare to act out for the time being. He did not dare to disturb Beidou Divination's refining. He had to endure it!
His fierce eyes were filled with killing intent as he stared at Feng Wuchen like a hunter staring at his prey.
The middle-aged man had already decided that once Beidou Divination finished refining the pill, he would immediately kill Feng Wuchen!
Minutes and seconds passed, and Beidou Divination had already completed the extraction step. The next step was to condense the pill.
Seeing that the pill was about to be refined, a smile appeared on Beidou Divination's old face. He looked at the Divine Alchemist with disdain before looking at Feng Wuchen coldly.
"The pill is about to be refined. Young man, are you ready?" Beidou Divination asked with a cold smile.
Feng Wuchen ignored him, and there was no trace of worry on his delicate face.
Feng Wuchen played with the green flame in his hand as a mysterious sneer appeared on his face.
With a thought, Feng Wuchen controlled the weak green flame to control the fire poison in Beidou Divination's body.
Beidou Divination, who was in the middle of refining, sensed the fire poison suddenly erupting, and his face changed.
"Why did the fire poison suddenly …" Beidou Divination was shocked. He did not understand why the fire poison would suddenly erupt. This was a crucial moment.
"Bang!"
Just as Beidou Yankong was in shock, a muffled bang came from the pill furnace, and the medicinal ingredients inside exploded, filling the hall with black smoke, and the smell of burnt medicinal ingredients spread out.
Beidou Divination had failed to refine the pill.
"The pill was being refined perfectly, but the fire poison suddenly flared up," the Divine Alchemist frowned and glanced at Feng Wuchen.
"The fire poison has subsided." Chu Changkong and the others were shocked.
The fire poison in Beidou Divination's body did not flare up earlier or later, but just when he was about to condense the pill.
When the fire poison flared up, Beidou Divination could not use his soul power. Without soul power, the medicinal energy could not fuse, and in the end, the pill furnace exploded.
It was one thing for the fire poison to flare up, but after the pill furnace exploded, the fire poison strangely subsided.
Was the fire poison playing a joke on Beidou Divination?
Beidou Divination's face was filled with shock. He did not know what was going on.
"The fire poison should flare up three days later. Why did it happen earlier this time? What's even stranger is that the fire poison calmed down again. "Beidou Divination was puzzled.
"Elder Beidou, is this what you meant by refining the Fiery Yang Purple Spirit Pill for several years?" Feng Wuchen asked with a bright smile.
Beidou Divination's face turned red, but he did not refute. The more he tried to explain, the more he tried to cover it up.
Beidou Divination was not surprised by the fire poison flaring up, even if it happened a few days earlier. What was strange was that the fire poison calmed down again.
Such a strange phenomenon had never happened before.
It was also Beidou Divination's first time encountering such a strange fire poison flaring up, so he could not understand or explain it.
The fire poison flaring up was his own problem. Beidou Divination did not suspect anyone else because it was impossible.
Beidou Divination could only blame his bad luck.
"The fire poison flaring up and calming down in the blink of an eye, this is impossible. Could it be Dendi's doing?" The Divine Alchemist guessed.
Other than Feng Wuchen, the Divine Alchemist could not think of any other reason.
The Divine Alchemist's guess gave him a fright.
The fire poison flaring up and calming down in an instant, if it was Feng Wuchen's doing, didn't that mean that Feng Wuchen could control the fire poison?
The more the Divine Alchemist thought about it, the more frightened he became. If Feng Wuchen could really control the fire poison, how terrifying would that be?
After cleaning the pill furnace, Beidou Divination continued refining. He had failed once, but he still had two more chances.
Beidou Divination continued refining, placing the herbs into the pill furnace one by one.
He circulated his alchemy technique and poured his soul power into the pill furnace, calcining the herbs and extracting the essence.
His movements were smooth and without any hesitation.
The hall was silent as everyone's gaze was fixed on Beidou Divination.
Time slowly passed, but there was nothing wrong with the pill furnace. Instead, a strange fragrance drifted out from the pill furnace.
"Condense the pill!" Beidou Divination roared as he formed hand seals and poured his soul power into the pill furnace.
"It must succeed!" The middle-aged man prayed in his heart. He had already failed once, so who could guarantee that there would not be a second time?
With a thought, Feng Wuchen controlled the fire poison in Beidou Divination's body.
"Divine Alchemist, admit defeat. How can the Heavenly Primary Pill be compared to the Fiery Sun Purple Spirit Pill? Furthermore, the quality of my pill is far better than yours … "Beidou Yankong said proudly. He had successfully condensed his pill, and it was about to come out of the furnace.
However, his proud smile froze as he sensed the fire poison flaring up again.
Beidou Divination was startled and immediately stopped, circulating his True Yuan to suppress the fire poison.
Everyone's expression changed as they sensed the fire poison's terrifying aura.
"Bang!"
The pill furnace exploded, and a burnt smell filled the air as black smoke billowed.
Beidou Divination had failed for the second time!
"It failed …" The middle-aged man started to panic. Beidou Divination had failed twice, and now he only had one last chance.
If he also failed, he would lose his life!
The Divine Alchemist and Chu Changkong exchanged a glance, and both saw shock and disbelief in each other's eyes.
The alchemists and blacksmiths in the auction hall were all dumbfounded.
Beidou Divination's face was also filled with shock and confusion. He could not explain what had happened.
Just as Beidou Divination was about to suppress the fire poison, the fire poison calmed down again.
The fire poison was clearly going against Beidou Divination!
This strange phenomenon made Beidou Divination confused and angry.
If the first time was an accident, then how could he explain the second time?
"What's going on with the fire poison?" Beidou Divination recovered after a long time.
After failing twice, even Beidou Divination felt embarrassed. He had been bragging about how amazing he was after refining the Blazing Sun Purple Spirit Pill for so many years. Now that he had failed twice, he was simply smashing his own foot with a rock.
Both times, the fire poison acted up at the crucial moment just as the pill was about to be refined. It was fine if it acted up, but when Beidou Divination stopped refining, the fire poison calmed down as well.
This was simply like seeing a ghost!
"Elder Beidou, you still have one more chance. Don't waste it. Failing is a small matter, but if the news spreads, it will be a big deal. I have a bad habit of sharing secrets with others. Also, there's someone who is afraid now, so don't kill him." Feng Wuchen laughed mockingly.
Beidou Divination's face was gloomy, and he was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.
The middle-aged man was even more terrified. Beidou Divination had never encountered such a situation before, but today, two inexplicable strange phenomena had happened.
"Stinking brat! It must be your doing! "The middle-aged man pointed at Feng Wuchen and roared.
