Chapter 2166: Towards Hongdao

Xiaotia had not returned yet, which made Scxiong and Zhang De somewhat worried. However, they did not have to wait long before they heard an eagle's cry and a very arrogant laugh."Haha, I won big!" Yu...Chapter 2166 - Xiong Hongdao

Scenery: Shengxiang brought out the jade plaque and Xiao Ping entered the arena in the middle of the square. The stage was very high, allowing many people to see the people above.

Only about a hundred alchemists had made it this far!

"Prince Ping, where is your master" Shengxiang stood beside Xiao Ping.

"He will appear soon!" Xiao Ping chuckled, "My master doesn't usually show up much, but today…"

As Xiao Ping was talking, an old man with snow-white hair and clothes suddenly appeared on the stage. He looked like a person of high standing at first glance.

The other alchemists on the stage immediately showed expressions of respect. Shengxiang was now certain that this old man with a grand air was none other than the legendary First Alchemy God of Divine鼎 Empire, Xiong Hongdao, who was also currently the only Grand Master maintaining neutrality.

He looked kindly at Xiao Ping, then carefully examined Shengxiang. Shengxiang had participated in the competition with Xiao Ping, so he knew about it very well. Therefore, he came personally today to oversee the alchemy competition, on one hand, to see how Shengxiang performed his Tianshen Technique in alchemy and on the other hand, to protect Shengxiang from being attacked.

"Two rounds of competition. The first round is the popular Divine Pill that everyone is familiar with, and it's Fire Heaven Divine Pill in the first place. The second is the top-grade Elemental Divine Pill, and I will provide the ingredients!" Xiong Hongdao stood calmly in front of all the alchemy gods, with his arms behind him as he walked back and forth, explaining the rules. "Everyone knows that this competition today is to showcase your potential to become a Grand Master in the future, and I have set these rules. Although they are strict, those who pass will be personally nurtured by me."

As soon as he saw the doubtful expressions on everyone's faces, Xiong Hongdao added, "Don't doubt who I favor. If you don’t meet my requirements, it means that you are still eligible to become my disciple! Even Xiao Ping is the same. If I can’t meet the standards I set today, you will be expelled from my door."

Only he could say such a thing about expelling Xiao Ping because he was the First Alchemy God of Divine鼎 Empire!

"The first one is Fire Heaven Divine Pill, and the total quality must reach 600!" Xiong Hongdao took out a circle-shaped plate. Xiao Ping had used this artifact to test the quality before.

It would be impossible if they were required to reach 700 quality. It meant that each of the pills would have to be refined separately, with a quality of 100 each. This was too difficult. When Xiao Ping refined the Elemental Divine Pill, he could only maintain a quality of 90 per pill, with fewer pills involved.

When the requirements were announced, only a few alchemy gods knew that it would be impossible to meet them without refining pills of superquality. It was indeed difficult, but thinking about it as the standard for future Grand Masters made it understandable.

"After you pass this round, I will tell you the standard for Elemental Divine Pill. Now, take your divine herbs. You can use your own alchemy cauldron but I will need to check it," said Xiong Hongdao. "Five hours time!"

Five hours! More than ten people immediately stood up. It was impossible for them to do this. Even if they refined normally, it would take more than five hours!

Xiao Ping looked at Shengxiang with a slight smile, "Are you under pressure"

Shengxiang smiled calmly, "Not at all, I think you will lose to me in this round and it might even be more painful! Of course, I hope you aren't expelled from the master's door," he said.

“You're really cocky!” Xiao Ping chuckled.

"I don't bother with being cocky to most people, but you're different. You are the prince and a high-talent disciple of the Grand Master, possessing the strength of a Third Rank Divine King. I must surpass you in alchemy, or else there won't be much satisfaction," said Shengxiang. Xiao Ping's status and strength were much higher than his, so defeating him would bring Shengxiang a lot of satisfaction.

Shengxiang had refined the Fire Heaven Divine Pill before and it had deviated, so he was somewhat confident in himself. He believed that the First Alchemy God Xiong Hongdao would also be able to refine pills in such a way, possibly even better than him. This was why he set out this standard.

Xiao Ping had no pressure at all. He knew that he would definitely be able to reach it!

“Do you want to bet” Xiao Ping took out a divine herb and smiled at Shengxiang, "It will add some pressure for both of us. Don't you think we're not under enough pressure now"

Among these alchemy gods, there were several capable young people with strong abilities, but they were currently being ignored by Shengxiang and Xiao Ping, who could feel a great pressure. However, both of them were able to joke around while talking about how they couldn't feel any pressure.

“I have nothing to bet!” Shengxiang really wanted to play it out. He was confident in himself, but Xiao Ping was a wastrel who could bring frightening things to bet with so casually.

“How about we bet on the Divine Seal If you lose, give your own divine seal to the other person,” Xiao Ping said shockingly. The whole crowd fell into a frenzy of discussion, as he proposed such an outlandish bet.

Betting on the Divine Seal meant enduring immense pain and even causing a setback in cultivation! Supposedly, it was difficult to regain your Divine Seal after taking it out for betting.

As the master, Xiong Hongdao didn't react at all. It seemed like he was encouraging such behavior.

“You're at a disadvantage, you're Third Rank Divine King. One divine seal is equivalent to several of mine, are you willing to play this way” Shengxiang's heart was pounding. This was his first time betting on the Divine Seal, but he wasn't afraid.

Xiaobefeng was about to go up and stop Shengxiang, but Lunfei stopped her. Lunfei shook her head at Xiaobefeng and said, "Don't worry about him. Even if he loses, the Grand Master will ensure his safety."

“Huhu,” Huang Jintian smiled, “Such a bet is exciting. I might try it too someday!”

“Now, let's bet Do you think that little punk can win” Huang Yan Tian grinned.

“I definitely support my disciple. Do you want to support Prince Ping That's a sure loss,” Huang Jintian said disdainfully.

Huang Yan Tian didn't reply. He was supporting Shengxiang!

Xiaobefeng was speechless. In her eyes, Shengxiang and his master were both madmen daring to joke with their hard-earned Divine Seals. It was now very difficult for her to condense a Divine Seal!

“I'm fine,” Xiao Ping said coolly, "Do you want to bet"

“Okay! But I won’t give it to you right away. We’ll wait until the end,” Shengxiang nodded. They didn't look like they were betting on Divine Seals at all; it was more like gambling stones, with no tension.

Shengxiang felt that Xiao Ping was very brave. Xiao Ping had seen his Spiritual Light Elemental Divine Pill before, and knew that his Tianshen Technique was very strong. Now, he dared to bet on his own Divine Seal. Therefore, Shengxiang believed that Xiao Ping must have made great improvements over these days, otherwise, he wouldn’t be so confident.

Mooner sent Shengxiang a mental message, "Xiao Ping might have used time array techniques or something to gain more time for improvement. Don’t underestimate him!" magic gourd and his own strength, and released an arrow at the elderly woman battling with Miao Shumei."Ah... It's a deadly poison!" The elderly woman did not expect someone to sneak attack her. Shen...
