Chapter 1175 - 1170: Risking It All
Amidst the heated discussions of the crowd, Qin Hao found himself at the center of attention.
To Li Yu.
This was not a good outcome.
The "young man" mentioned by everyone felt like a sharp sword piercing her heart.
Her body couldn’t help but tremble.
It shouldn’t be.
It shouldn’t be!
Why is it a Yellow-grade Elixir!
Even a certified Alchemy Master can’t guarantee a hundred percent success!
How could this obnoxious man manage to make one?
Where did he get the courage to actually dare to attempt a Yellow-grade Elixir?
The Jade Stone Daoist looked at Qin Hao with a complex expression.
This young man, it’s not just high technical skills.
To top it all off, he’s got such guts.
A Yellow-grade Elixir is different from a Gradeless Elixir.
The difficulty in crafting the two differs by over three to four times.
Even for a master like Jade Stone Daoist.
There’s only an eighty percent success rate in crafting a Yellow-grade Elixir.
If luck is not on his side, he might very well fail.
But Qin Hao actually dared to show off his skills in the very first round?
Is he bold or simply arrogant?
Being watched intently by everyone, Qin Hao found it incredibly dull.
He yawned and said, "When does the second round start? Hurry up, I have to go back and catch up on sleep afterward."
Upon hearing this, the crowd nearly fainted in shock.
Damn.
Is this even possible?
Finish the competition quickly to go back to sleep?
How much do you look down on us?
Fine, even if you look down on us.
You should give Jade Stone Daoist some respect!
He’s a famous Alchemy Master in Huaxia!
Due to Qin Hao’s laid-back attitude, Jade Stone Daoist’s anger surged again.
Indeed, he admired Qin Hao’s ability.
To have such talent at a young age would naturally evoke envy and jealousy.
But, as an Alchemy Master, Jade Stone Daoist had his own pride.
If Qin Hao could craft a Yellow-grade Elixir, he certainly could too.
Jade Stone Daoist remained confident that the quality of his Yellow-grade Elixir wouldn’t be much different from Qin Hao’s.
Therefore, Qin Hao’s provocation was unbearable for him.
"Young man, I admit you have some skills. But, being so dismissive, isn’t that a bit too arrogant?" Jade Stone Daoist said to Qin Hao in a deep voice. Recognizing the other’s strength, he spoke less offensively.
But Qin Hao yawned again and said, "Old Fly, save your breath for alchemy. I’m in no mood to argue with you."
"You! Bastard!" Jade Stone Daoist was so angry that his body trembled.
Being polite by not scolding you, and yet you are still so insolent?
"Just wait, in the second round, I’m going to show you what cruelty means!"
Jade Stone Daoist shouted arrogantly.
"Oh. Idiot." Qin Hao responded casually, infuriating Jade Stone Daoist to the point where his beard bristled.
Li Yu’s face on the side twisted even further.
"Master, this vile man’s mouth is foul, we don’t need to pay attention to him!"
"Two idiots." Qin Hao cursed casually, eyes fixed on the stage, waiting for the Iron Maiden to announce.
On stage, after a simple exchange between the two judges, the Iron Maiden stood up and said, "The second round is about to begin, please all who passed return to your seats."
Subsequently, the alchemists returned to their places.
But compared to the crowded space earlier, this area had more room.
After all, many were eliminated.
Qin Hao and Jade Stone Daoist remained adjacent.
Both were at the edge of the alchemy area.
However, people’s attention involuntarily drifted towards them.
After all, it was here that the two masters were.
This was the main highlight of today.
"The second round requires crafting a Yellow-grade Elixir, regardless of quantity, as long as it’s completed. The time remains one hour," Iron Maiden had just spoken when Jade Stone Daoist suddenly interjected, "Hold on!"
With these words, everyone instinctively looked at Jade Stone Daoist.
What’s he trying to do?
The Iron Maiden furrowed her brows but didn’t ask.
Jade Stone Daoist declared, "I think instead of wasting time, it should be more straightforward. This round, let’s compete on the elixir grades, the one who crafts the highest wins the championship, how about that?"
Upon hearing this, the alchemists cursed internally.
Old ghost, can’t wait to win already?
Bullying the weak is utterly shameful!
Cursing aside, deep down, everyone agreed.
To win this competition, it ultimately depends on strength, not luck.
In the face of absolute power, five rounds wouldn’t matter.
Because Jade Stone Daoist should win, regardless of how many rounds there are.
The Iron Maiden furrowed her brows.
According to the original rules.
This meeting concludes after three rounds.
But now, Jade Stone Daoist seemed impatient.
How is she supposed to handle this?
She couldn’t decide, after all, Elder Gong oversees order, Young Master Xu and herself are judges. To decide, they would need to discuss together.
She turned to look at Young Master Xu on the grand master’s chair.
Young Master Xu smiled and nodded at her, then glanced into the distance.
Qin Hao was yawning, sensed Young Master Xu’s gaze, understood he was seeking his opinion, and nodded without thinking.
Fly King wants to decide early?
Didn’t he feel the same!
Young Master Xu received the answer and nodded to Iron Maiden.
Iron Maiden was very surprised.
Why did Xiaoxu seek the opinion of that young man?
Despite her doubts, she still opened her mouth and said, "Agreed."
Her concise words made Jade Stone Daoist smile smugly.
He turned to Qin Hao and said, "Young man, this time, I’m going to show you my true strength!"
"Noisy!" Qin Hao fanned his ear.
"You simply don’t know what you’re dealing with!" In every instance, Jade Stone Daoist was angered.
In his fury, he stared at Qin Hao: "Little punk, dare to add a little extra to the stakes?"
"You mean a bet?" Qin Hao’s eyes lit up, sleep dispersed much, "Old Fly, are you sure? Because, those who bet against me end very badly!"
"Ha ha." Jade Stone Daoist sneered disdainfully, "You don’t have to waste words on me. My request is simple, whatever we craft, the other must consume the elixir."
Qin Hao’s eyes blinked craftily as he smiled, "Old ghost, does this mean you’re planning to craft Poison Pills?"
"Hey, are you scared?" Having his intentions guessed, Jade Stone Daoist remained unfazed, instead provoking.
"Are you so sure you can poison me?" Qin Hao also laughed, a relaxed laugh, "Aren’t you afraid I’ll poison you instead?"
"Have the courage! Nonsense! My master certainly isn’t afraid of you!"
Li Yu said while filled with resentment.
Qin Hao pointed at Li Yu, said to Jade Stone Daoist, "Bet is fine, but I want to play a bigger game. Not only you have to eat the elixir, but also your disciple later!"
"Hey!" Jade Stone Daoist sneered coldly.
He didn’t expect Qin Hao not to fear and instead dare to gamble so much.
"But..."
Jade Stone Daoist just began when Qin Hao interrupted, "You think it’s unfair? No worries, my Brother Chu will also join me in eating."
"What?" Chu Head was dumbfounded, also terrified.
Why drag me into your life-and-death gamble?
