Chapter 114 - Identifying Ingredients and Pills (2/2)

The disciples then let out sighs of relief in their heart; even though Qin Nan possessed an incredible strength which was comparable to Nangong Cheng’s, it seemed like Qin Nan was a complete novice in Pill Alchemy.

Nangong Cheng burst out laughing again; he even clapped his hands as he said, “Nice, very nice, Junior Brother Qin Nan, you’re so impressive, to be able to identify the characteristics and restrictions of the ingredients and pills in less than thirty breaths’ time. It seems like Junior Brother Qin Nan’s talent in Pill Alchemy completely outmatches ours. I am very impressed!”

The twenty elders at the elder's seating area could not help but glance toward Qin Nan with weird expressions on their faces, and their eyes filled with compassion.

Everyone could tell that Nangong Cheng’s words were not complimentary; he was being sarcastic.

In these fifty ingredients and fifty pills, there were restrictions and secrets added by the first elder, Cheng Biao using special methods; even ordinary Pill Alchemy experts would not be able to identify the ingredients and pills correctly in thirty breaths’ time.

These elders did not believe that Qin Nan’s Pill Alchemy skill had surpassed a Pill Alchemy expert!

Despite that, the crowd was dumbstruck when Qin Nan brought his fists together and said smilingly, as if he did not detect the sarcasm in Nangong Cheng’s words, “Thank you for the compliment. I’m feeling guilty for taking away Senior Brother’s first place in this round!”

The words caused the disciples to be stunned immediately.

So cocky!

So disrespectful!

Qin Nan thinks his Pill Alchemy skill is stronger than Nangong Cheng’s?

At the elder's seating area, Cheng Biao’s face darkened, and a hint of murderous intent flickered within his eyes.

As for the other elders, they were slightly startled, before letting out a smile secretly; most of them disagreed with having this test as the first round of the trial, but as they possessed limited power before the first elder, Cheng Biao, they could only keep quiet.

Now seeing an outer domain disciple challenge Nangong Cheng directly, they felt instantly delighted!

Nangong Cheng’s expression stiffened, as he had not expected Qin Nan to react like this. After taking a deep breath, Nangong Cheng collected his thoughts and said, “If Junior Brother is so confident, why not have a bet with me? If you were to win this round, I’ll give you a hundred thousand Xiantian Pills! If you lose, hand over your Seven Great Sins! How’s that?”

Everyone was astonished at this moment, and their expressions changed slightly.

We’re speaking of a hundred thousand Xiantian Pills right here, an incredible amount of fortune!

Nangong Cheng dares to bet one hundred thousand Xiantian Pills?

At this moment, the silent crowd turned noisy instantly, as many of the disciples began to discuss while pointing around.

“This Nangong Cheng is too shameless. This bet is surely a win for him, and he still have the nerve to bet?”

“That’s right. In terms of Pill Alchemy, who would be matched against Nangong Cheng’s skill?”

“Hmph, Nangong Cheng had already caused the first round to be set as identifying ingredients and pills using his relationship with his master. He dares to suggest such a shameless bet now?”

“Well, you guys have to remember, if Qin Nan wasn’t so cocky just then, I don’t think Senior Brother Nangong Cheng would suggest such a bet, right?”

“Nonetheless, Qin Nan will definitely reject the suggestion; it is a guaranteed loss for him!”

……

Many disciples began to stand on Qin Nan’s side so as to be just.

At that instant, among the crowd, Xiao Leng and Chu Yun exchanged glares with each other while remaining silent, with no intention to say anything.

They understood Qin Nan’s personality too well; they already knew what Qin Nan would say after Nangong Cheng suggesting something like this.

As expected, after a while, Qin Nan let out a smile and said in an insignificant tone, “If Senior Brother wants to gift me a hundred thousand Xiantian Pills, I’ll be more than happy to accept it!”

The words served like a grenade explosion among the crowd.
