Chapter 36 - Merit? (1/2)

Translator: Dragon Boat TranslationEditor: Dragon Boat Translation

Initially, Ao Yan wanted to go up and take down Jiang Xiaobai, but upon seeing this scene, she took a deep breath and decided to forget about it.

No matter what, the competition had already begun, so she could not interrupt it. Otherwise, she would really not give Five Lotus Mountain face.

It was not that Ao Yan did not trust Jiang Xiaobai, but she was not confident in her heart.

Although Jiang Xiaobai could refine the Cleansing Pill, being able to refine this kind of special pill did not represent one’s ability to refine pills!

Furthermore, even an existence like Dragon Valley did not want to make enemies with Five Lotus Mountain, so Ao Yan could only look at Jiang Xiaobai worriedly before venting her anger on Ao Cheng.

Ao Cheng screamed repeatedly, causing the people around him to move further away from him.

Third Elder stood at the side and narrowed his eyes. He looked at Jiang Xiaobai with a complicated expression.

Less than half a month ago, this fellow was still a mortal who was nothing…

On the high platform, the materials were ready. Just as it was about to start, the system’s voice suddenly sounded in Jiang Xiaobai’s mind.

[Congratulations, Host, for activating the choices.]

[Choice 1: Win the competition. Reward: A wisp of Merit.]

[Choice 2: Lose the competition. Reward: A connate numinous treasure fragment.]

These two rewards were quite tempting.

It was needless to say that Merit could condense a Golden Body of Merit. Even a saint would want this item, and connate numinous treasures were rare treasures.

After hesitating for a while, Jiang Xiaobai finally chose the first one.

He was not here to set off Kong Yuhuai, but to use this fellow to show off his might!

“The alchemy competition begins now!”

With Elder Jiang’s voice, the competition officially began.

Immediately, the two began to concoct pills.

Kong Yuhuai burned a pale blue flame. It was obvious that the grade of the flame was not low. This thing was also of considerable help in alchemy.

On the other hand, Jiang Xiaobai’s side was using the most ordinary fire control technique.

When the white flames rose, the martial arts practice field burst into loud laughter.

“Ahaha, he has the guts to challenge His Highness the Holy Son?”

“The lowest level of fire control. This thing is used to concoct pills? I’m afraid that even the pill furnace hasn’t warmed up yet when His Highness the Holy Son has already successfully refined pills.”

“It’s simply embarrassing. I really don’t know what’s going on in that guy’s head.”

Such mocking voices continued. After all, the pale flame was really surprising.

Ao Yan, who was in the crowd, flushed red. She also felt a wave of embarrassment.

There was no comparison between the two people on the stage.

“This guy seems to be really confident?” Ao Yan was surprised.

She had heard of Kong Yuhuai and knew that he was the most outstanding young man in Five Lotus Mountain. His alchemy ability was even comparable to some of the Elders, who were old Daoists!

It was not good for Jiang Xiaobai to compete with him like this.

However, Ao Yan did not say anything because she was worried. She was familiar with Jiang Xiaobai. This person probably would not do something that he was not confident about.

However, this was probably all caused by Ao Cheng.

She immediately looked at Ao Cheng with a cold face. “Just you wait and see, I’ll teach you a lesson!”

She casually slapped the back of Ao Cheng’s head.

Ao Cheng hugged his head and looked aggrieved. He didn’t dare to say anything, but he looked at Jiang Xiaobai with excitement in his eyes.

He had a feeling that even if Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t win, he wouldn’t be inferior to him.
