Chapter 18 Bet!
Chapter 18 Bet!
Seeing that Li Huayuan did not refute, Qingxuzi began to believe Xiao Wuji's identity a little more, and then put away his contempt for his cultivation.
"I heard that you can refine a Qingling Pill that can equal the hard work of a Jindan cultivator for decades?"
"What do you mean by "can be equivalent to decades of hard training"? That is clearly a pill used to break through bottlenecks. If my dear Uncle Li had not injured his vitality while refining iron essence, he would have already broken through to the middle stage of Jindan!"
Upon hearing this, Li Huayuan immediately became unhappy. You can brag about the effects of your elixir, but don't involve him.
"How dare you say that to me? Didn't you also not understand the function of the Qingling Pill at the beginning? To be honest, I was tricked by you!"
"Ah, yes, yes!"
In front of outsiders, Xiao Wuji still had to take Li Huayuan's reputation as a Jindan cultivator into consideration, otherwise he would have to argue with him. He had never seen such a shameless person before.
Xiao Wuji refocused his gaze on Qingxuzi and asked:
"So what level is your Bloodline Dragon Inner Core?"
Qingxuzi looked at Xiao Wuji, who was full of curiosity, and his face twitched slightly. He had never seen such a bold foundation-building cultivator. However, he had his opinions, but he also wanted the Qingling Pill!
Qingxuzi didn't waste any words and took out a white ball covered with blood.
The moment the sphere appeared, Li Huayuan's eyes widened. In comparison, Xiao Wuji was much calmer!
"It's really level five, but why does it feel a little lacking in spiritual energy?"
Hearing this, the two of them glared at Xiao Wuji. They were very angry that such a treasure that they had been longing for was actually rejected by someone else.
"It's really average. How about I bet with you?"
A greasy and dirty hand suddenly fell on Xiao Wuji's shoulder. Xiao Wuji subconsciously struggled hard, but failed to break free.
A dark blue flame rose from Xiao Wuji's palm, then quickly spread to his shoulder, forcing the dirty little hand to leave his shoulder.
"Senior Qiong!"
Upon seeing this man, Qingxuzi and Li Huayuan's faces suddenly turned pale. It was not known whether they were frightened by this man's reputation for misbehavior or if they had been teased by that "Senior Qiong".
After hearing what the two said, Xiao Wuji had no idea who this person was.
"Ugh!"
Knowing that he couldn't get revenge, Xiao Wuji could only sigh depressedly, and then the flame gently burned away the dark palm on his shoulder.
"I wonder what Senior Qiong wants to bet on?"
Old Monster Qiong looked at Xiao Wuji's cloth that was not damaged at all, narrowed his eyes, and said meaningfully: "My friend, you have superb fire control ability!"
Facing such a person, Xiao Wuji did not dare to be too presumptuous and answered honestly: "It's nothing. The art of controlling fire is the foundation of alchemy. If I can't even control the fire well, how can I refine such a pill!"
"Good boy!"
After being lectured by the younger generation, Old Monster Qiong was not angry, but smiled and said:
"I'm quite interested in your Qingling Pill recipe. As for the bet, I just refined a few invisible needle talismans a few days ago. I'll use them as the bet!"
"Invisible needle talisman?"
Li Huayuan and Qingxuzi exclaimed when they heard this. Ordinary talismans are almost useless to them, Jindan cultivators, but this invisible needle magic weapon is definitely not one of them. In terms of attack power, this invisible needle is not the best, and the talismans refined from it are naturally not worth their excitement, but the concealment ability of this invisible needle is something that even ordinary Jindan cultivators cannot detect.
Even though the talisman's concealment ability is slightly insufficient, it is still a powerful weapon if used to ambush someone!
Xiao Wuji had a lukewarm reaction to this. The talisman was indeed powerful, but it was like scratching a feather when faced with the body refining of gods and demons. Compared to this, he was more interested in the invisible escape method of old monster Qiong.
"I have no shortage of talismans, but I am more interested in your invisible escape technique."
"Invisible Escape Technique?"
Old Monster Qiong's expression remained unchanged, but his tone became a little colder. This was the foundation of his livelihood. It was a top-level magical power that he had refused to hand over despite the Yanyue Sect's repeated requests.
"Little kid, you may not be very old, but you have a big mouth."
"If you want my invisible escape technique, you must at least come up with something of equal value first!"
Although Xiao Wuji had a lot of good things in his hands, some of which were more valuable than the Invisible Escape Technique, he really didn't dare to take them out under such circumstances. If the old monster Qiong wanted to snatch them, no one would be able to protect him.
What's more, what he has revealed now is already eye-catching enough, and saying more would be tantamount to seeking his own death, but...
"This is what I want to say to my seniors. If you want to gamble, you have to bring something of equal value."
"And the value of the Qingling Pill recipe is no less than your Invisible Escape Technique!"
"After all, the Qingling Pill I refined before was only the worst Qingling Pill!"
Qingxuzi was a little confused after hearing this. Is there any difference between one Qingling Pill and another?
"Oh? Is there any other explanation for this Qingling Pill?"
"Of course. As the highest masterpiece of my alchemy technique, how could it be so mediocre?"
I don't know why, but after hearing Xiao Wuji's words, Li Huayuan actually had the urge to rush up and slap him twice. Listen, listen to this, is this even human language?
"Qingling Pill, also known as the Three-Pattern Qingling Pill, requires three different flames to outline the pill patterns! Only then can the medicinal properties be stimulated to the maximum!"
"In other words, the main ingredient of this Qingling Pill has never been any spiritual medicine, but three powerful flames used for alchemy!"
"And the medicinal properties of the Three-Striped Green Spiritual Pill are several times more than those of the ordinary One-Striped Green Spiritual Pill. If you are lucky, it is not impossible to break through from the early stage of the Core Formation to the late stage of the Core Formation within a day."
"In this case, do you still think that the Qingling Pill formula is less valuable than your Invisible Escape Technique?"
By the time Xiao Wuji finished speaking, the breathing of everyone around him began to become extremely rapid, with the exception of Old Monster Qiong. This was because his cultivation had already reached the perfection of Jindan, and he was only half a step away from forming an infant. No matter how powerful this Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pill was, it would have no effect on him.
However, the effect of this three-patterned green spirit pill is extremely great for the sect. If you can get the pill formula, it will be a great achievement. If you can't get it, then using your "invisible escape method" to destroy this person is not a bad idea.
The Invisible Escape Technique is powerful, but the difficulty of practicing it is also one of the most difficult among many magical powers. Moreover, this magical power cannot be practiced with the help of any external objects, so it can be said that there is no shortcut.
He made a great name for himself with his invisible escape technique, but he also lost hope of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage because he wasted too much time practicing it. He did not pass down this magical power within the sect because of this drawback.
However, if he could use it to secretly destroy a genius from the Yellow Maple Valley, it wouldn't be a loss for him.
"Tell me, how do you want to bet?"
