It wasn’t just the audience, even the elders acting as the referees felt a hint of nervousness, as if they were the ones really participating in the alchemical competition.
This contest can be described as extremely thrilling.
Kong Yuhuai, as the son of Five Lotus Mountain, needless to say, excels both in alchemy techniques and strength.
While the not-so-famous Jiang Xiaobai truly gives a stunning impression.
Having seen how Jiang Xiaobai refines pills, they came to knowledge that pills can be refined in such ways and some methods can be handled like this!
The two could almost be called the top-tier alchemists among the young generation!
Looking at the pills in front of them, the few elders deeply inhale, ready to judge impartially.
Everyone held their breath at this moment, all waiting for the final result to be announced.
After carefully inspecting for a long time, the faces of the few elders suddenly revealed delighted smiles.
“Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!”
Elder Jiang couldn’t help but praise.
The surrounding people are instantly puzzled, what’s the result, why aren’t you announcing it!
Only to see Elder Jiang shaking his head continuously, a smile on his face.
“Ladies and gentlemen, we judge with the utmost impartiality, and will not favor anyone.”
Elder Jiang slowly spoke, everyone’s eyes glued to his mouth, waiting for the result in the next second.
“This time, the medicinal power of both individuals… is 95%!” As soon as these words came out, the entire venue was in an uproar!
What does equivalent medicinal power mean?
This wasn’t a tie, you must know, Jiang Xiaobai completed it one step ahead of Kong Yuhuai. Even if it was just a moment, it was enough to overturn the result!
“The ultimate winner is… Jiang Xiaobai!”
“Alright!”
Ao Cheng was the first to shout, he even burst into uncontrollable laughter: “Haha, what did you just say? You dared to say Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t win, hasn’t he just won now?”
“Those who just said they would kneel down and call me daddy, and the one who said he would eat shit, stay right there for me!”
The people of Five Lotus Mountain turned red immediately, the atmosphere reached the utmost awkwardness, many people dared not look at Jiang Xiaobai on the stage.
After the announcement of the result, Kong Yuhuai finally took a deep breath. Even though he lost, he didn’t reveal any displeasure or unwillingness. On the contrary, he felt very excited.
It had been a long time since he was able to have such a hearty contest with someone. He was the strongest among the young generation in alchemy in Five Lotus Mountain. If you go up, it would be the older generation alchemists, there is no comparison.
You can say that even though he lost today, he is still happy.
“Brother Jiang, congratulations!” Kong Yuhuai clasped his hands.
Jiang Xiaobai waved his hand with a smile: “It’s nothing, it’s just that I was a bit lucky this time and finished one step before you. Otherwise, we would have had at most a draw.”
“Even if Brother Jiang was lucky, there’s nothing wrong. After all, luck is also part of one’s strength.”
Kong Yuhuai was excited: “Being able to discuss with Brother Jiang was really hearty, so how about we have a hearty drink tonight, and we don’t leave until we get drunk?”
“Of course, I like you too.”
“Hahaha.”
Even if he was very happy at this moment, Kong Yuhuai still maintained a scholarly elegance, and his laugh made many girls in Five Lotus Mountain couldn’t help but daydream!
The elders of Five Lotus Mountain below the stage were also nodding. They found it a pleasant thing for the two top talented individuals in alchemy to become friends instead of enemies.
But more than that, they felt relieved.
Because their son, who had been famous for a hundred years, finally has a friend!
God knows what he has been doing all this time, apart from studying alchemy and refining pills, he doesn’t go out at all, and he doesn’t even talk to others!
They are all desperate, okay!
They can’t just watch their son live in such solitude and desolation, although being high above might get cold; however, there are also many excellent people in other fields – why doesn’t he know how to make friends widely?
This competition, although people were ridiculing Jiang Xiaobai before it, what is Five Lotus Mountain?
Isn’t it the holy land of alchemists? Here gathers alchemists within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles, who come here to take their alchemy skills to the next level.
They won’t play unfairly; on the contrary, because of this competition, they will respect Jiang Xiaobai a lot.
This respect is for the strong, regardless of character or appearance.
Ao Yan was both excited and dumbfounded for a moment. Her excitement came from Jiang Xiaobai’s victory, and she was speechless because she didn’t know why she was excited.
Thinking about this, Ao Yan’s face turned red.
On the other side, Ao Cheng first burst into wild laughter, and then grabbed Xu Nianliang’s collar, shaking him back and forth so that he was swaying.
“Did you see that, did you see that, Jiang Xiaobai won!”
“Remember, don’t forget our bet.”
After yelling, Ao Cheng went to enjoy himself again, leaving Xu Nianliang sniffing, standing in place, feeling out of sorts.
The reputation of the son of the heavens actually lost?
Thinking about this, Xu Nianliang’s heart was like being cut by a knife, his idol that he had been chasing all his life lost, so he became naturally upset.
However, seeing that even after losing, Kong Yuhuai still looked happy, Xu Nianliang found a reason to recover.
“The happiness of the son of the heavens is my greatest desire!”
The crowd was filled with a mixed of emotions at once. Ao Cheng was among them, looking for the guys who had made harsh words before, wanting to call him daddy, and eat shit. And to his surprise, he really found them.
Taking advantage of his second generation’s rotten nature, he naturally needed these guys to keep their promises.
You want to default on the bet, huh?
Alright, then don’t say I didn’t play nice!
Fortunately, Ao Yan was keeping an eye on him, this guy didn’t do anything embarrassing, otherwise, it would have been hard for Five Lotus Mountain to explain.
After the contest was over, there was a merry atmosphere inside Five Lotus Mountain. Everyone was discussing this matter, and the look in Jiang Xiaobai’s eyes was also very complicated.
Jiang Xiaobai didn’t care about this at all and walked side by side with the son of the heavens in Five Lotus Mountain. The latter insisted on dragging Jiang Xiaobai to enjoy the scenery of Five Lotus Mountain.
At dusk, in a large courtyard on a hillside, a table of delicious food was set, and several jars of good wine. The good wine was provided by Ao Cheng. If he hadn’t been too happy today, he wouldn’t be willing to share it with people.
At the dining table, Jiang Xiaobai, Kong Yuhuai, Ao Yan and her brother, and
Xu Nianliang were sitting in a circle, talking and laughing, eating and chatting.
Although Ao Yan still had her cold demeanor, she gave face to the son of Five Lotus Mountain and rarely could chat for a few sentences.
But that’s all, after eating a few things, she directly left.
Only Jiang Xiaobai, Ao Cheng, and Kong Yuhuai were left drinking and talking big.
On the side, Xu Nianliang felt a little lonely and pitiful. Before today, in the whole Five Lotus Mountain, he, Xu Nianliang, was the closest to the son of the heavens.
However, after Jiang Xiaobai appeared, everything changed.
The prince of the world was abducted!
