The School Beauty’s Super Rogue

Chapter 1176 - 1181: Is My Disciple’s Life Worth More?

"Is his life more valuable than my apprentice’s?" The Jade Stone Daoist originally wanted to refuse, but Li Yu held his hand: "Master, let’s gamble. I just can’t stand that disgusting old man!"

"You’re the old man! Your whole family are old men!" Chu Touzai had been holding back his anger for a while.

It was bad enough that you dragged me into this for no reason.

What gives you, this blondie, the right to humiliate me?

"Disgusting old man! I can smell your foul breath from ten meters away!" Li Yu continued to curse, making Chu Touzai’s head smoke with anger.

He pulled Qin Hao aside, saying: "Younger Brother Qin, make me a deadly poison pill, I want to poison this smelly woman!"

Qin Hao smiled without speaking.

An idea had already formed in his mind.

Sometimes, certain elixirs are even more painful than poison.

"The contest begins!"

At that moment, the Iron Maiden spoke coldly from the stage.

All the alchemy masters had been watching this side.

But as the contest began, everyone plunged into their alchemy.

Even though they knew they weren’t the main characters in this match.

For ideals and ambitions, they devoted themselves completely.

"Wash the herbs!" the Jade Stone Daoist coldly instructed, and Li Yu began cleaning the materials.

This time, they came fully prepared, washing the materials without even looking.

Seeing this scene, Qin Hao understood.

So, this old fly had this trick ready all along?

It seemed the old ghost had harbored intentions to kill him for quite some time.

"Little punk, are you planning to waste time again?" The Jade Stone Daoist, idle, decided to mock.

Qin Hao ignored him, counting the materials in his package.

"Five Elements Grass, Hundred Wind Flower, Ancient Ling..."

Calculating, the materials needed for the elixir were sufficient.

The problem was, the pill furnace seemed broken, accidentally damaged earlier.

"Little punk, now you don’t have an elixir, do you?"

The Jade Stone Daoist seized every chance to provoke.

He deeply understood a principle.

Alchemy is like martial arts.

One’s mind must remain calm, otherwise anxiety can easily ruin an elixir.

His aim was to anger Qin Hao as much as possible, causing him to lose reason.

Qin Hao frowned.

The Jade Stone Daoist continued to taunt: "Little punk, I have an extra pill furnace, want to kneel for it? I might really give it to you!"

As soon as he finished, Qin Hao turned his head, shouting towards the audience: "Who will lend me two pill furnaces?"

"Fool!" The Jade Stone Daoist couldn’t help but laugh.

Borrowing a pill furnace from the audience, how ridiculous!

Do you really think the audience is as foolish as you?

Do you really think they’ll lend to you?

The next moment.

A hand raised: "My elixir is my life’s work, I can lend to you!"

The Jade Stone Daoist was stunned for a moment.

Someone was actually foolish enough to lend?

This was followed by anger.

He glared at the person full of rage.

Unexpectedly, the one stepping forward looked familiar, it was a participating alchemy master from earlier.

That alchemy master came forward, and the guards wisely didn’t stop him.

He respectfully presented the pill furnace: "Master, I know my furnace isn’t worthy of your mastery, but I humbly request..."

Qin Hao waved him off: "What is your name."

"I’m Wasp," the alchemy master said respectfully.

"Very well, Wasp, I’ll remember you, thanks for the furnace." Qin Hao accepted the furnace, and Wasp rejoiced immediately.

For him, serving such a legendary alchemy master was the greatest honor.

"Excellent. So, anyone else willing to lend a furnace?" Qin Hao asked around again.

Unfortunately, no one responded this time.

Few possess the courage to ignore the Jade Stone Daoist’s threats.

Many wanted to keep blending in at the flea market, so they chose to play dead.

"Since that’s the case, let’s get started then." Qin Hao looked somewhat resigned, "Wasp, wait outside for me now."

"Yes, Master!" Wasp lowered his head and retreated slowly.

In fact, Wasp was also a well-known alchemy master nearby.

Many people had to bow down to him.

He too harbored the pride of an alchemy master.

Yet somehow, before Qin Hao, he couldn’t control his nervousness and reverence.

His posture was submissive, akin to a sincere student.

"Damn them!" The Jade Stone Daoist looked at Wasp with malice, then at Qin Hao, who was washing the pill furnace.

Qin Hao’s actions and techniques were very adept.

His face showed complete immersion, a stance of total focus.

The Jade Stone Daoist felt a bit pressured, refrained from chatter, accepted the pill furnace, and began alchemy.

Because both main characters were fully engaged.

The venue finally had a touch of solemnity.

No one spoke, everyone’s eyes were fixed on the scene.

Poom poom poom!

Countless sparks lit up in the alchemy area.

This was the firewood ignited by the alchemy masters.

Among them, one flame was particularly bright and scorching, its blaze was much larger than the rest.

In their busy time, the alchemy masters spared a glance, inwardly amazed.

Only to see, the Jade Stone Daoist’s entire hand was less than five inches from the flame.

His palm infused inner strength into the flame center, amazingly twisting the flame.

Poom poom poom!

The flame began to spout repeatedly, smoking the pill furnace.

The furnace was almost heated up, the Jade Stone Daoist grabbed the herbs and cast them inside the furnace.

His technique was crisp, like a chef wielding a spoon.

The sign of an expert.

With just this move, the alchemy masters couldn’t help but admire the Jade Stone Daoist.

When serious, the master seemed truly formidable!

To make comparisons, others continued to focus on Qin Hao.

Much like before.

Qin Hao still hadn’t begun crafting.

He was still meticulously cleaning the elixirs and materials.

Meanwhile, his assistant Chu Touzai stood silently by, afraid to move even slightly, fearing to disturb Qin Hao.

"This young man is still moving at a snail’s pace."

"Is he planning to repeat his performance from earlier?"

"But this time, the Jade Stone Daoist is serious. Rumor has it that his success rate with Yellow-grade Elixir is very high, and Profound-grade Elixir isn’t impossible either..."

"At this point, if he still doesn’t hurry, it’ll be very tough to surpass the Jade Stone Daoist!"

It’s well said, repeated miracles cease to be miracles.

Qin Hao managed to defeat the Jade Stone Daoist the first time partly due to the element of surprise.

But now it was different.

The Jade Stone Daoist had woken up, set to use his fullest strength.

In such a state, the Jade Stone Daoist was a completely different person from before.

Earlier, he crafted the elixir with a playful mindset.

But now he was serious, very, very serious.

The feeling was like a swordsman facing a formidable foe.

Don’t be fooled by his current silence.

But once the silence breaks.

The swordsman’s sword will be drawn.

So, will Qin Hao bleed?
