Was I the Only One Kept in the Dark?
Everyone in the room was watching with wide-eyed amusement.
Kneeling and barking like a dog is already insulting enough. If the subsequent bet is actually made, then one can never live in the Pill Cloud Continent again. One can choose to leave Pill Cloud Continent and find another continent to live on!
Wang Hao frowned, staring coldly at Dao of Alchemy Master.
Where does this guy get his confidence from?!
Or perhaps, these members of the Devil Dao Sect don't care about these things, or even genuinely enjoy this feeling, merely using the stakes to amuse themselves?!
In this situation, if he doesn't accept the bet, it will only make those around him think he lacks confidence.
Anyway, I can't possibly lose!!
"Alright! Everyone, be our witnesses! Even though the Pill Azure Sect is full of scum, they should still care about their reputation, right?" Wang Hao said coldly.
Dao of Alchemy Master shrugged and said, "There's no way I could lose."
We'll deal with it after we lose. With Xiao Qingyi around, let Xiao Qingyi fulfill the bet!
"Then let's discuss how to compete. There aren't just two ways to compete in alchemy. Since this is an assessment, let's compare who can produce more pills of the best quality within the allotted time. How about that?" Dao of Alchemy Master decisively began to set the rules based on his own strengths.
As long as Wang Hao dares to agree, he's absolutely certain of success!
"Fine!" Wang Hao said coldly, "Refine One-Mystery Divine Cultivation Pill within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."
Under normal circumstances, a top-tier alchemy prodigy can refine one One-Mystery Divine Cultivation Pill within half an incense stick's time. However, even a low-level alchemy prodigy needs to adjust their time before refining a second pill after refining one. Therefore, he decisively used the rules to time himself at the point when a top-tier alchemy prodigy could refine two pills.
He's no ordinary top-tier alchemy prodigy!
He has thoroughly researched a method of alchemy that allows him to continuously produce two pills without stopping!
And its grade is extremely high!
If Dan Dao of Alchemy Master agrees, then he's practically guaranteed success!
Dao of Alchemy Master's expression was strange, but he nodded decisively. "Alright! We'll do it your way!"
Good grief, you're going to release the sea at a time like this?
He uses the One-Pot Stewing Pill Refining Method to refine pills, which requires at least half an incense stick's time. Giving him a full incense stick's time is simply amazing!
Dao of Alchemy Master looked at the two deacons and said, "You two deacons shall be the referees."
Deacon Liu smiled and said, "That's easy to say."
As he said this, he glanced at Deacon Huang next to Wang Hao.
The two have never gotten along.
Deacon Huang glanced at Deacon Liu with disdain.
"Then let's begin refining the pills." Wang Hao didn't want to waste any time; he was already prepared to astonish everyone present.
But just as he finished speaking, a voice transmission suddenly sounded in his ear.
"Brother Wang Hao, there's something I might need to tell you..."
The person who transmitted the message was none other than Nangong Wan.
"What is it?" Wang Hao glanced at Nangong Wan and asked telepathically.
His tone was very gentle.
Nangong Wan smiled wryly and recounted Xu Xuanyu's assessment results, then continued via telepathy, "I bet you this person is his senior brother; he might also be able to use the Chaos Alchemy Method. You'd better be careful..."
Wang Hao: "???!!!"
Holy crap! Why the hell didn't you tell me sooner?!
He opened his eyes wide and stared intently at Nangong Wan.
If Nangong Wan had told him beforehand, he definitely wouldn't have made the bet with Dao of Alchemy Master!!!
Even he couldn't do the Chaos Alchemy Method!!!
Most importantly, Nangong Wan said that the boy finished refining the pill in an extremely short time?!
How is this possible?!
Xu Xuanyu had been secretly observing Wang Hao, and when he noticed Wang Hao looking at him, he gave a soft hum.
What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a handsome guy before?!
"Really?! This kid is that amazing?! He even refined two top-grade Divine Cultivation Pill?!" Wang Hao gritted his teeth, his heart instantly filled with pressure.
The Chaos Alchemy Method?
He had actually studied this alchemy method, and he had even heard about it from a single pill.
"This alchemy method has many limitations and a very low success rate. How could it possibly succeed? However, this method also has limitations; it cannot be used continuously in a short period of time. It might only be used once or twice within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. We can only gamble that this person doesn't know how, or even if they do, they can only use it once!"
If it can only be used once, it can only refine two high-grade Divine Cultivation Pill at most.
If he works hard enough to refine two Divine Cultivation Pill, he can achieve a complete victory!!
Do it!!!
Wang Hao glanced at everyone present, his eyes filled with a sinister glint, even when he looked at Nangong Wan.
Damn it, none of them mentioned what happened not long ago to him!
Are they all just waiting to see the show?!
Nangong Wan was actually quite innocent. She never expected Wang Hao to suddenly challenge Dao of Alchemy Master to a duel. By the time she wanted to bring it up, Wang Hao had already started arguing. She didn't know whether she should say anything or not, but in the end, she couldn't help but speak up.
"Since you want to compete, let's test both Pill Furnace together." Deacon Liu brought over another Pill Furnace and arranged the two Pill Furnace neatly at a distance from each other.
Dao of Alchemy Master smiled and said, "Deacon Liu, I need fifteen portions of medicinal herbs to refine One-Mystery Divine Cultivation Pill."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room wondered if they had misheard.
Fifteen portions of medicinal herbs?!
Wang Hao also turned his head quickly to look at Dao of Alchemy Master.
What do you need so many medicinal herbs for?!
"Alright, here you go." Deacon Liu was also Dao of Alchemy Master wanted so many medicinal herbs for.
So many Divine Cultivation Pill can be refined in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn???
That can't be!!!
Wang Hao's lips twitched, and the pressure on his heart increased, but he quickly calmed himself down.
This person is deliberately trying to get his attention and cause problems with his alchemy!
How could a normal person possibly need so many medicinal herbs within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn?!
"Playing tricks! Just wait to lose!" Wang Hao sneered.
Dao of Alchemy Master laughed and said, "You'll find out soon enough."
"Then I'll start the timer," said Deacon Liu.
"Wait! Before we begin, let me say a few words!" Xiao Qingyi suddenly stepped forward.
Everyone's attention shifted to Xiao Qingyi.
"Since you two have made a bet, it's no fun just watching. How about this, I'll be the bookmaker! If my sect's disciple wins, the odds are 1 to 2! Vast Pill Sect's disciple wins, the odds are 1 to 10! I can take any Divine Crystal, no matter how big! Come on, anyone interested, give it a try!"
With a wave of his hand, Xiao Qingyi displayed two lines of text in the sky: the left line indicated that the Betting Dao of Alchemy Master had won, while the right line indicated that the Betting Wang Hao had won.
Upon seeing this, the group's eyes lit up.
Good heavens!
Xu Xuanyu and Fang Qiuhe glanced at Xiao Qingyi.
You want to make a quick buck from this?
"Since that's the case, then I'll have a go!" One person quickly took out a bag of Divine Crystal, marked them, and let the Divine Crystal float on the left, betting on the Dao of Alchemy Master to win!
"Me too!"
"..."
A group of people placed their bets on Dao of Alchemy Master's side.
Xu Xuanyu and Dao of Alchemy Master's lips twitched when they saw this scene.
Old Xiao, you're going to become a money-spending machine now!
Xiao Qingyi remained calm, smiling as he looked at Wang Hao: "Oh dear, everyone's betting on our Pill Azure Sect to win. Is your Vast Pill Sect even up to par?"
He wouldn't be foolish. Wang Hao must have some trump cards up his sleeve. Given this situation, Wang Hao is naturally furious and will most likely reveal his trump cards, causing everyone to change their betting strategy!
Sure enough, after he uttered only a sarcastic remark, Wang Hao glanced at everyone present and said in a deep voice, "I advise you to bet on me winning!"
