Chapter 838: The Emperor of Medicine Appeared

ht him together" Shen Xiang said, "When dealing with the enemy, it's enough to kill them!" He flashed away and appeared behind Xiao仇. Lady Mu Jialan was startled, following closely behind him as...Chapter 838: The King of Alchemy Appeared

The people watching Shen Xiang refine the pills were mostly alchemists, with some higher-ranking ones present as well. Even those who weren't alchemists were from famous families and had some knowledge of alchemy.

"This kid's flames are ordinary, he doesn't have a Fire Soul, nor is he from multiple fire veins. But his flames are powerful, what's going on here" A senior spoke in confusion.

Although Shen Xiang tried his best to conceal the essence of his flames, some high-ranking people who were very sensitive to fire energy still sensed something amiss.

"Old man Wang, is this flame powerful I can't see it at all. On the contrary, I think it's weak. I think he should still be using his full strength to burn the golden iron tree roots and the golden core, although these ingredients are about to die, but it's not easy for anyone to refine them." Tan Zhongsen said, he was the son of the King of Alchemy and also an alchemist.

Old man Wang shook his head, saying: "This little brother is an expert at refining pills and clearly has a solid foundation. He's much more powerful than you! Skilled alchemists are able to control fire energy carefully when refining pills, and they burn ingredients with full power, forming a momentum! Some ninth-level alchemists wouldn't be able to let flames possess an invisible ‘momentum’."

The crowd was slightly shocked upon hearing these words, there were several ninth-level alchemists present, all of them were able to produce top-grade pills and were only one step away from becoming the King of Alchemy, Old man Wang was among them.

"At least I can't do that!" A駝背的 yellow-haired old man sighed.

"So, he's a ninth-level alchemist" asked Lady Ji Meixian in surprise, she had gathered a lot of information about Shen Xiang ever since they started competing against each other and knew that he was still young, around a hundred years old.

Old man Wang shook his head. "I'm not sure, he didn't take the test, it's hard to say. However, if he can refine the Pill of Bone which is a difficult top-grade pill, then at least he's an eighth-level alchemist!"

The faces of those who had placed large bets fell even lower, people who could refine waste ingredients into pills are usually highly skilled alchemists.

Shen Xiang's control over flames was effortless, just like controlling his own limbs. This had a lot to do with him cultivating the Divine Path and practicing Fire God Method, having the Heavenly and Earthly fire soul.

The golden iron tree roots and hearts were indeed difficult to burn, but with the Time Acceleration inside the Golden Fire Dragon Cauldron and the strong Heavenly and Earthly flames, he managed to burn them quite easily.

But at this moment, the Golden Fire Dragon Cauldron suddenly started shaking violently, causing Shen Xiang to sweat profusely. The people who had placed bets were overjoyed, hoping for Shen Xiang's downfall.

"Zi Chang, do you still have some crystals" Shen Xiang suddenly used divine consciousness to transmit this message.

Tan Zhongsen saw Shen Xiang's cauldron shake and sweat was dripping down his back. If Shen Xiang lost, that would be more than two hundred billion crystals!

"I still have some, what do you want to do" Tan Zhongsen suddenly felt something was off.

"You have to place bets quickly, I'm intentionally showing off so that everyone thinks I'm going to lose." Shen Xiang transmitted this message.

Tan Zhongsen sighed inwardly, Shen Xiang was too cunning, he secretly found amusement and replied: "Young brother, are you still accepting bets now Since it's a bet, the more dangerous, the more exciting. Although I'm not a gambler, I've experienced that feeling before."

The crowd secretly looked down on Tan Zhongsen, he was about to fail and still place bets, wasn't he just hoping for Shen Xiang's greater downfall

Shen Xiang opened his eyes and said with a cold smile, "Do you really think I'll lose Then fine, place your bets freely, let's see who's the last winner!"

The crowd was instantly shocked, the cauldron almost shook apart and they were still accepting bets.

Tan Zhongsen laughed loudly, "This young brother is indeed generous. Here are fifty billion crystals!"

Tan Zhongsen threw out a storage bag, which was then thrown onto the ground. These storage bags all contained crystals, one could see them with divine consciousness and at this moment, there was a huge pile of bets placed by others.

After Tan Zhongsen increased the stakes, many threw their bets out as well.

"I still have a hundred billion crystals, young brother, I'm willing to make your suffering as much as possible."

"I'll join too, I still have two billion crystals and these are my last."

"Three billion, let's make a bet and kill this kid!"

"..."

Some of the elders also threw out their treasures, even someone threw out their sword.

By now, the total amount of crystals piled up was three hundred billion!

Shen Xiang laughed inwardly, he indeed intentionally caused the cauldron to shake, just for the sake of squeezing out everyone's wealth.

Lady Ji Meixian still didn't place her bet, originally she was tempted because she wanted Shen Xiang to lose badly too. But she knew about his identity and realized that Tan Zhongsen was Shen Xiang's friend, knowing he was putting on an act made her suspect foul play.

Mu Jiulan, the Peach Blossom Heavenly Fairy, was in a relaxed mood and her clear eyes watched everything before her calmly. She wasn't a gambler by nature, not caring for fame and benefits, so she was unaffected by Shen Xiang's attempts.

The shaking of the cauldron was getting worse, as though it could crack and explode at any moment. Many people had already started to distance themselves out of worry for being hit by the cauldron's debris.

The Booming Medicine Shop was large and gathered many people, as it had become quite famous recently. News of Shen Xiang spread across the street and some gambling young nobles rushed over to gather in the spacious hall.

They asked Shen Xiang about the possibility of placing bets, and when they found out that it was still possible, they didn't hesitate to drop their crystals.

Soon enough, the total amount of bets had accumulated to four hundred billion crystals!

"The Booming Medicine Shop has only been open for so long, but this is the first time it's seen such a lively scene. I originally thought someone was here to admire my performance, but unexpected that there would be such a grand bet here." A deep voice slowly rang out.

"Father!" Tan Zhongsen hurriedly walked over, the person who just arrived was none other than King of Alchemy Tan Sheng.

Even the King of Alchemy was attracted, causing everyone to secretly marvel. Some people were lucky enough to see the King of Alchemy's appearance.

King of Alchemy Tan Sheng was an old gentleman who looked very pleasant, although he already appeared to be an elder, his voice carried a sense of authority. He wasn't extravagant in his appearance but looked very scholarly and dressed properly, giving off the aura of a divine being.

"Young brother, you're willing to spend ten White Jade Lotus Seeds on your first attempt and bought such a precious Heavenly Fate Box, you must have some background. Do you still accept bets" King of Alchemy Tan Sheng said in a loud voice.

Being able to entice the King of Alchemy into a bet, Shen Xiang was delighted inside. He smiled and said, "Of course I do, with you being kind enough to come for my performance, losing even if it's a loss will make me happy!"ng handed Kimi Xiulan a life-saving pill. She took it with one hand, then started digesting the medicinal essence.Now she knew who taught Shen Xiang alchemy and could guess that he had a powerful magi...
