The School Beauty’s Super Rogue

Chapter 1170 - 1164: Exception Granted to Compete (Part 2)

"This little punk? Got any skills?" Jade Stone Daoist instantly sneered, not even glancing at Qin Hao: "This punk, apart from running his mouth and scheming, doesn’t have any real skills."

Qin Hao was unpleased and mocked, "Fly King, are you mad because you got humiliated this morning? My alchemy skills are only a hundred thousand miles better than yours!"

"If you’re my grandpa, then that makes you a fly too?" Jade Stone Daoist scoffed.

Qin Hao chuckled and said, "But I’m still your grandpa! You ungrateful grandson, hurry and call out to your elder!"

"You!"

Jade Stone Daoist was red with anger again.

He wanted to try arguing with Qin Hao a bit more.

But was defeated before he even started.

What a waste of time!

"Hmph!" With colleagues around, Jade Stone Daoist felt he couldn’t lose face, so he suppressed his anger and said, "Since he’s allowed to compete exceptionally, then I must compete too! Otherwise, I won’t allow this matter to proceed!"

"What!" At this, Young Master Xu and Elder Gong were both shocked.

As a manager, he actually has the face to participate in such a competition.

Has Jade Stone Daoist gone mad?

Young Master Xu and Elder Gong exchanged a look, both feeling deeply helpless.

"What, if you’re unwilling, then I..." Jade Stone Daoist coldly stared at Qin Hao.

Actually, he wasn’t particularly interested in that Exotic Grass.

The reason he decided to participate was to target Qin Hao.

No joke, he had been fuming all morning.

Now there’s finally a chance for revenge.

How could he let it go?

"This..." Elder Gong was very hesitant and simply looked at Young Master Xu for help with his eyes.

Young Master Xu also had a headache, only able to look at Qin Hao with wide eyes.

At this point, the referee was actually consulting with a contestant, which was rather out of line.

Qin Hao nodded without thinking: "Let Fly King compete, just right, I want to teach him a lesson."

"Very well!" A wild smile appeared on Jade Stone Daoist’s sullen face: "Little punk, just you wait, soon I’ll make you lose all face!"

"Dog man! If you lose, you have to kneel and apologize to my master!" Li Yu said through gritted teeth, with a hint of joy in her eyes.

She believed her master’s alchemy skill was unrivaled in the world, dealing with a little punk would be a piece of cake.

"Fine." Qin Hao agreed without thinking, but added: "If I win, this Fly King has to do the same thing."

"Deal!" Jade Stone Daoist agreed with a cold voice, "See you in the arena."

After speaking, he led Li Yu out of the venue.

Qin Hao was left stunned, "Why did that old ghost leave?"

Elder Gong remained silent, while Young Master Xu slapped his forehead: "Oh no, I seem to have forgotten something important!"

As Qin Hao was still wondering, Young Master Xu said: "Brother Qin, it seems you don’t have alchemy tools and herbs!"

"No, I have herbs." Qin Hao pointed to his backpack: "I bought quite a bit, I can use some here."

"But what about the alchemy furnace?" Young Master Xu was a bit anxious.

Despite all calculations, he didn’t expect to overlook this.

"Uh, it’s fine, we’ll just buy one casually." Qin Hao said nonchalantly.

"How can that be!" Young Master Xu was a bit taken aback: "A good alchemy furnace is a Pill Master’s second life. Brother Qin, without a handy alchemy furnace, your capability will surely be affected."

"No worries, I’m a Pill King, anything that can boil can be used for alchemy. Bring me a basin and I’ll refine pills for you."

"Pfft!" Young Master Xu couldn’t help but laugh, "Since brother is so confident, I believe in you. Should we go buy a pill furnace now?"

At this moment, Jade Stone Daoist and Li Yu returned.

Jade Stone Daoist looked very composed with his hands behind his back.

His apprentice Li Yu, on the other hand, was carrying things in both hands. One hand with a bag full of herbs, the other with a pill furnace.

Turns out, they had left to prepare.

"Little punk, you don’t even have a pill furnace, are you going to use your hands for alchemy?" Jade Stone Daoist began to mock.

Li Yu also laughed, "This foolish man, coming without even preparing tools, truly hopelessly stupid."

Qin Hao scoffed, "Buzzing flies start humming again, should we escape to avoid the noise?"

With that, he turned and walked away with Young Master Xu.

"Overestimating yourself!" Looking at Qin Hao’s back, Jade Stone Daoist mockingly sneered.

"Disgusting!" Li Yu spat on the ground.

Qin Hao walked leisurely away, but hadn’t gone far when a middle-aged woman from the referee’s platform said: "Time’s up, participants please maintain order and enter the arena."

Young Master Xu sighed, "The lady on stage is also a manager, known in Jianghu as the Iron Maiden. Brother Qin, it looks like our preparation time is running out!"

Qin Hao seemed at ease, "No rush, with so many people around, we can buy an alchemy furnace later."

As they spoke, alchemy masters from the crowd began to emerge one after another.

Their faces were all glowing, and some had medicine boys following behind, proudly.

It seemed, to them, even assisting a Pill Master was a great honor.

Qin Hao couldn’t help but chuckle, "They all have helpers, it seems I’m the only one without any?"

"How about I help?" Young Master Xu blinked.

"Let’s not, you’re a referee, the platform is your stage." Qin Hao said helplessly.

"Alright then, Brother Qin, good luck!"

Young Master Xu said, turning to the referee’s seat.

Jade Stone Daoist, as a contestant, was not in a hurry to step on stage, instead glaring at Qin Hao with a fierce look.

As the number of alchemy masters increased, the original tables became fewer. However, under Elder Gong’s arrangement, two more long tables were brought up.

The tables were very close, one for Qin Hao, the other for Jade Stone Daoist.

When the crowd saw Jade Stone Daoist’s figure appear, they were shocked.

"Are you kidding?"

"Is this even possible? The organizers can send participants too?"

"Letting others participate is one thing, but damn it, this is Jade Stone Daoist! Not only an organizer but also the strongest alchemy master at the flea market!"

"Why would someone like him compete? Hey, the young man next to him, isn’t he the one who clashed with Jade Stone Daoist this morning?"

"Could it be, that Jade Stone Daoist is competing for revenge?"

"How terrifying!"

The bystanders were quite accurate, quickly using their words to deduce the truth of the situation.

Compared to their schadenfreude, the other alchemy masters were in a much worse mood.

Many even wanted to curse out loud.

Damn it, they’ve seen shameless people before.

But never one so shameless.

You’re a famous Alchemy Master, and you’re stealing fame with a group of juniors.

Aren’t you embarrassed?

Jade Stone Daoist was indeed embarrassed.

He could feel the angry eyes from the other alchemy masters.

But as long as he could get revenge on Qin Hao, none of it felt so hard to bear.

He looked at Qin Hao and said, "Little punk, where’s your alchemy furnace?"

At this moment, the woman on stage, Iron Maiden, announced loudly: "The competition consists of three rounds. The first round is to refine a gradeless elixir, with a one-hour limit, requiring at least twenty pills. Those who do not meet the standard will be eliminated."

Gradeless elixirs are elixirs with no grade.

These elixirs aren’t as miraculous as Yellow Level ones. But to common people, they are still regarded as elixirs.

Under normal circumstances, the refining time for one furnace of ordinary elixirs is between forty minutes and two hours.

Moreover, the batch size for ordinary elixirs is around twenty pills.

The organizer’s first-round requirement is already quite high.

Unsurprisingly, many alchemy masters with average skill will be eliminated.

Qin Hao pondered silently, while Jade Stone Daoist’s mocking voice rose again: "Little punk, say something!"

"Annoying." Qin Hao frowned.

He was contemplating which elixir to refine, and this guy intrudes.

Truly irritating.
