Chapter 31 - Five Lotus Mountain (2/2)
“Look at what you’re saying. This place is the only alchemy force in the surrounding hundreds of thousands of miles. In particular, there are quite a number of top alchemists here. Even our Dragon Valley doesn’t dare to act recklessly.”
Ao Cheng hurriedly said, “Shouldn’t you be surprised about alchemy when you come to a place like this?”
“Do I need to? It’s not like I don’t know how to concoct pills,” Jiang Xiaobai said casually. Then, he began to size up the layout of the hall.
However, when Ao Cheng heard these words, his eyes immediately widened.
“You also know how to concoct pills?”
There were only a few people in Dragon Valley who knew that Jiang Xiaobai knew how to concoct pills. Ao Cheng usually did not like to participate in these things, so naturally, he did not know.
“I just know a little about it. But then again, the layout here is not as grand as Dragon Valley’s.”
“Then do you think that our Dragon Clan is famous for having many treasures? Even Five Lotus Mountain has to admit defeat sometimes!” Ao Cheng’s face was full of pride, but he quickly realized that Jiang Xiaobai was deliberately diverting the topic.
“Hey, mortal, explain to me how you know how to concoct pills. This Young Master doesn’t believe…”
Jiang Xiaobai ignored him. At this time, he had already found a corner seat and sat down. He closed his eyes to rest. Third Elder and Ao Yan went forward to chat with the alchemy elder of Five Lotus Mountain.
The curiosity in Ao Cheng’s heart was raised by Jiang Xiaobai. He immediately felt annoyed and wanted to find out what was going on.
He moved closer to Jiang Xiaobai and said, “Mortal, don’t brag to me. Alchemy is something that can only be refined by people with extraordinary talent. Simply put, you can only refine pills when god makes you eat this rice. Do you think you can refine pills just because your cultivation talent is a little better than mine? What a joke.”
“My talent is just a little better than yours?” Jiang Xiaobai raised his eyebrows.
Instantly, Ao Cheng’s face turned as red as a pig’s liver. He was choked speechless by Jiang Xiaobai.
“Do you really know how to concoct pills?”
“I only know a little about it. There’s no need to make such a big fuss.”
“This is Five Lotus Mountain, the territory of alchemists. Do you dare to prove it to this Young Master?”
“Why wouldn’t I dare?”
“Alright then, this Young Master will find an alchemist for you to compete with. Even if you lose, it doesn’t matter. As long as you can concoct a pill today, this Young Master will completely admire you. What do you say?”
Jiang Xiaobai, who was dozing off, opened his eyes. The corners of his mouth curled up without leaving a trace. Now that he had achieved his goal, the next step was to begin the mission of raiding Ao Cheng.
“Let’s go. We have nothing to do anyway,” Jiang Xiaobai said casually.
The two of them hit it off immediately. They looked like they were in cahoots. They sneakily glanced at the people who were chatting and then quietly left the hall.
After leaving the main hall, Ao Cheng began to let himself go. He resumed the arrogance and despotism that belonged to his own style, which was also known as walking horizontally.
“Let’s go, let’s go. This Young Master will take you to find an alchemist to verify whether it’s true or not.”
The people in the main hall did not notice the two people who had snuck out. They were still chatting passionately about the old times.
“Elder Jiang, why haven’t I seen the Holy Son of Five Lotus Mountain? Is he studying alchemy again?” Third Elder said with a smile.
“Don’t mention it. I’m sure you’ve heard about the Cleansing Pill that appeared recently, right?”
Elder Jiang shook his head and sighed. “I don’t know why the Holy Son is so obsessed. He keeps mumbling about how to develop the Cleansing Pill every day. He doesn’t even have a single Cleansing Pill. He doesn’t even know the ingredients.. How can he study it?”
