Yang Wu and Xing Yashang's bet was very crazy. The former would trade his alchemy future and an arm for the latter's position as a Holy Elder.
This kind of bet was hard for any alchemist to accept, especially the former who had reached the Saint Alchemist Realm at such a young age. If he were to lose an arm, it would be the same as giving up on his profession as an alchemist. The latter's loss was not small either. The position of Holy Elder was extremely rare in the Alchemist Alliance. If he lost this position, not only would he lose his reputation, but he would also lose many of his connections in the Alchemist Alliance. Moreover, he would not be able to enjoy the benefits of the Alchemist Alliance. This was a loss that could not be measured by a pile of spirit stones or saint stones.
After this news spread out in the headquarters, everyone exclaimed in surprise.
"The youth who caused the phenomenon in the Alchemist Pavilion is a Saint Alchemist? And he wants to challenge Holy Elder Xing Yashang? Is this news confirmed? "
"It's absolutely true. They will be competing in alchemy in three days. That youth is called Yang Wu and he is already ranked 4555 on the Saint Alchemist Rankings."
"If he's so powerful, why is he so impulsive? With his talent, he can definitely become a top Saint Alchemist in a hundred years."
"Isn't that right? He can become a Saint Alchemist, so his heart should be extremely tough. Why would he want to gamble with Holy Elder Xing Yashang? I don't understand. "
"Didn't you guys see the bounty list? Yang Wu is already in the top ten thousand. The Yang and Xing families are like fire and water, so let's just watch the show."
…
The ceremony ended before it even started.
Old Man Zui quickly brought Yang Wu out of the hall.
He was the one who brought Yang Wu here, so he did not want anything to happen to him.
However, this matter still blew up.
"Yang Wu, what should I say to you? You still have a bright future ahead of you. Verifying your identity is nothing. With your ability, refining Holy Pills shouldn't be difficult. Could it be that you really faked your age?" Old Man Zui anxiously said to Yang Wu.
Yang Wu rolled his eyes at Old Man Zui and said, "You're the one who's faking it."
"Then why don't you dare verify my identity?"
"Why should I verify your identity?"
"You can become a Holy Elder of the Alchemist Alliance. With that status, you can get whatever herbs you want. Even godly herbs won't be difficult as long as you have enough money. Moreover, you will be protected by the Alchemist Alliance. A Holy Alchemist has a noble status. Not just any Holy Alchemist can become a Holy Elder of our Alchemist Alliance."
"So what? No one here can take me seriously, right?"
"That's because they look down on you. If they saw your talent in alchemy, they wouldn't be like this."
"Then it's settled. They will naturally see it in three days."
…
Yang Wu went back to his room.
Old Man Zui did not follow. He seemed to understand Yang Wu's plan and exclaimed in his heart, "This kid is a monster!"
Qing Feng followed Yang Wu into the house.
"Sister Feng, I'm going to go into seclusion for the next three days." Yang Wu said to Qing Feng.
"I won't take up your time. I just want to know if you have the confidence to win." Qing Feng seriously looked at Yang Wu and asked.
"Of course I have confidence. Otherwise, why would I seek death?" Yang Wu said confidently.
"It's good to have confidence. What if you fail miserably?"
"Then I'll have to trouble sister Feng to take me away from here."
"I don't have the ability to do that here." Qing Feng said frankly. She paused for a moment and then added, "But I can accompany you in death."
After saying this, she turned and left Yang Wu's room.
Yang Wu's heart was filled with warmth. Looking at that graceful figure, he said to himself, "Don't worry. How could I bear to let sister Feng die?"
Following this, Yang Wu really did prepare to go into seclusion.
In the Alchemy Chamber, he had obtained ten thousand scrolls of alchemy recipes to choose their owners. These alchemy recipes had helped him further his alchemy path. He increasingly understood that alchemy would be more perfect in this way. Even though he was only in the Dragon Transformation Realm, he could rely on his understanding of alchemy recipes and the use of herbs to create perfect alchemy.
When he was in Confusion City, he had only refined a first tribulation Holy Pill, which was why he had obtained the bronze green badge. In reality, he already had the ability to refine a second tribulation Holy Pill, but the chances were lower.
Over the next three days, he had to digest the insights he had gained from the ten thousand pill formulas and fuse them with the increased power of alchemy. Concocting a Second Tribulation Pill wouldn't be difficult, which was equivalent to being a Silver-level alchemist. That would make him close the gap between him and Xing Yashang. If he could further refine the medicinal ingredients and concoct an even better pill, he might have a chance of concocting a Third Tribulation Pill. Although the chances were slim, he still wanted to try.
Thus, he closed his eyes and began to meditate. He used his battle soul to digest the pill recipes he had gained from the Alchemy Pavilion.
…
While Yang Wu was in seclusion, on the other side of the castle, there was a clean and tidy pavilion. There were a few old trees planted in front of the pavilion. Under the trees, there was a round table. When the moon came out at night, it was very suitable for drinking tea and chatting.
This was where Cao Jifei lived. She was indeed different from ordinary girls. Ordinary girls liked to plant flowers and decorate their own places beautifully and elegantly. However, she pursued simplicity and elegance.
Under the tree, a tall and handsome man spoke to Cao Jifei. His appearance was indeed impeccable. His square face, big eyes, thick eyebrows, and high nose were perfectly matched. His hair was short and neat. He wore a Saint Alchemist robe and the shining bronze green badge on his chest was very eye-catching.
This was a Green Level Saint Alchemist. He had an extraordinary position in the Alliance.
"Junior Sister, I heard that an interesting guy appeared today. Did he make you unhappy?" The handsome man asked Cao Jifei with concern.
Cao Jifei met his gaze and replied, "Not to that extent. It's just that he's interesting."
"Yang Wu, a twenty three year old Saint Alchemist. He broke junior sister's record. This kind of guy isn't as simple as he looks. It's understandable that you stopped him from becoming a Saint Elder. If he doesn't know what's good for him, senior brother will teach him a lesson for you?" The handsome man said.
Cao Jifei said indifferently, "You don't have to worry about this. We'll know in three days. Moreover, there's no problem with his bone age. Vice Alliance Master Miao has already confirmed this."
"Then you're willing to let Xing Yashang drive a wedge between you? This isn't your style! "The handsome man said again.
Cao Jifei revealed a smile that could topple cities and said, "When have you seen me so easily tricked? Let's just pray that he doesn't shoot himself in the foot this time. " She then said, "I'm going back to my room to cultivate."
She swayed her graceful figure as she returned to the pavilion. She only left a beautiful figure for the handsome man to remember.
The handsome man stood there for a while before turning around to leave.
Not long after, someone said in the dark, "Master, is there any meaning in continuing like this?"
The handsome man smiled and replied, "It's quite interesting."
"I think it's too much of a waste of time. Master is so outstanding. You should be more direct. I believe she likes you too."
"You're thinking too much. She seems to be close to everyone, but in fact, no one has ever walked into her heart except for Master. Little Junior Sister is too arrogant. I have to slowly break through her defenses. Only then will she truly belong to me."
"Master, you have to be tough when you need to be. What's done can't be undone. I believe master's master won't have any objections."
"If it were that simple, then it would be easy. Go and collect information on Yang Wu. You have to pay attention to this guy. Martial Uncle Zui definitely didn't bring him here for such a simple reason."
… …
In another pavilion, Xing Yashang was currently gathered with two other Saint Alchemists.
These two Saint Alchemists were Iron Green level Saint Alchemists. They were good friends of Xing Yashang and were called Zhong Feng and Wang Youling.
Zhong Feng was an old Saint Alchemist.
Being able to reach this step was already his limit. If he wanted to go any further, it would be extremely difficult. He was able to reach the Saint Realm all because of the accumulation of pills. Moreover, he could only refine some ordinary Saint Pills and had never succeeded in refining a batch of One Tribulation Pills. He had long since become accustomed to this and no longer hoped for any room for improvement.
Wang Youling was much younger than Zhong Feng and was also a newly promoted Saint Elder. He was the result of Xing Yashang's recommendation and was also one of Xing Yashang's loyal followers.
"Yang Wu is just a brat who hasn't even grown his hair yet, yet he dares to provoke master. His brain must have been clamped by a donkey's butt." Zhong Feng said coarsely.
Wang Youling said with a faint smile, "It's master's plan that led that brat to take the bait. Competing with master in alchemy is simply seeking death."
Xing Yashang took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "That brat caused a phenomenon in the Alchemy Pavilion. It's not as simple as you think. He's definitely not an impulsive and brainless guy."
"Could it be that he can come up with a countermeasure?" Zhong Feng asked.
"He made a bet in front of Vice Alliance Leader Miao. What countermeasure could he come up with? He overestimated his alchemy ability. He thinks that just because he condensed his alchemy, he can look down on everyone else. Did I not condense my alchemy as well?" Xing Yashang said with a cold smile.
"That's right, that's right. That little brat has a brain, but unfortunately, he was too arrogant. Breaking his arm and cutting off his future, the Yang Family no longer has any outstanding young talents. If the family were to know what Milord has done, they would definitely praise you." Wang Youling said flatteringly. After a pause, he said, "But he has Elder Zui's protection. Elder Zui won't let anything happen to him so easily, right?"
"Right now, we don't know where the Alliance Leader is. With Vice Alliance Leader Miao in charge, no one can plead for leniency. Elder Cao Sheng won't be easy to pass either. Elder Zui is just taking advantage of his seniority."
"Then what if Elder Cao Sheng has other ideas?"
"What ideas could Elder Cao Sheng have? Master is a Saint Elder. His status is higher than hers. Once this matter is over, master can return to the Xing Clan. After some time, this matter will also be resolved."
"Hehe, women will always be women!"
