688: Chapter 685: What if You Lose?
Huang Xiaolong didn’t want to attract attention, so he used the Dragon Transformation Hand.
Among all the alchemy techniques he knew, the Dragon Transformation Hand was the most ordinary.
However, when Huang Xiaolong executed the Dragon Transformation Hand, it still caused quite a stir around the plaza.
Given Huang Xiaolong’s identity, he drew the attention of countless people.
Even if Huang Xiaolong didn’t want to attract attention, it was impossible.
Moreover, in Huang Xiaolong’s eyes, what was an ordinary Dragon Transformation Hand appeared as a highly advanced and long-lost Ancient Dragon Clan alchemy technique to the spectators around.
Hearing the crowd’s noise, Xiang Mingzhi couldn’t help but look towards Huang Xiaolong.
When he saw the spiritual medicine materials in front of Huang Xiaolong rise into mid-air and form into a Spiritual Medicine Dragon, Xiang Mingzhi snorted coldly.
He Feifan, the Vermilion Bird Mansion Master’s direct disciple, Wan Zhenxing, the White Tiger’s direct disciple, the Mountain Goat Ancestor, and other elder monsters, all had different expressions when they saw Huang Xiaolong start with the Dragon Transformation Hand.
The Mountain Goat Ancestor’s expression was a mix of smiling and not smiling, appearing quite eerie.
Huang Xiaolong ignored the expressions of the crowd.
He continued to wave his hands, and the Spiritual Medicine Dragon twisted and turned in mid-air, the fragrance of the medicine permeating around.
This was to remove the impurities from the spiritual medicine materials.
After a while, the Spiritual Medicine Dragon flew into the tripod furnace.
Huang Xiaolong summoned the Asura Fire from within his body.
Under the astonished eyes of the spectators around the plaza, Huang Xiaolong suddenly punched the tripod furnace!
Many were greatly shocked.
They didn’t understand what Huang Xiaolong was trying to do.
With that punch, the spiritual medicine materials inside the tripod furnace would likely be blasted into powder, right?
How would he perform alchemy then?
They had never heard of anyone doing alchemy like this!
Even the chairman Lin Pinghai and other elders on the platform were taken aback.
Only Elder Sheng Yue and Chairman Chen Ye remained calm.
At that moment, Huang Xiaolong punched the tripod furnace again.
As everyone stared wide-eyed, Huang Xiaolong delivered a total of thirty-six punches, causing the tripod furnace to ring with a series of clanging sounds.
Although not loud, they drew frequent glances from the competitors around.
Some even couldn’t help but scoff and laugh.
What was this supposed to be?
In their view, Huang Xiaolong wasn’t performing alchemy, he was training the furnace!
“This kid isn’t trying to reforge the furnace to enhance its grade because it’s too low, is he?” Zeng Chu, standing behind Azure Dragon Mansion Master Qin Yi, couldn’t help but mockingly laugh.
Azure Dragon Mansion Master Qin Yi did not speak, his eyes twinkling.
Although he didn’t know exactly what Huang Xiaolong was intending to do, he could see that each of Huang Xiaolong’s punches contained mystery and each had the same force!
Thirty-six punches, not too many, not too few, without any deviation!
Huang Xiaolong was of course not playing around.
The reward for winning first place in this Alchemy Grandmaster competition included a Sixth-level Divine Status; no one would take such a contest lightly.
In fact, Azure Dragon Mansion Master Qin Yi’s guess was not wrong.
Huang Xiaolong was not playing around; his thirty-six punches were actually evening out the distribution of the spiritual properties of the medicine within the furnace.
With those thirty-six punches, the spiritual medicine inside the furnace was divided into thirty-six portions, each containing the same amount of spiritual medicine properties, no more, no less.
This was an alchemy technique Huang Xiaolong had realized on his own.
It could be said that it was of his own creation.
Time slowly passed.
Soon, half an hour had gone by.
Suddenly, a sound of a furnace exploding was heard.
In the plaza, a competitor’s furnace burst open, spewing black smoke from its mouth.
Alchemy failure!
Before long, another sound of a furnace exploding rose.
As time slowly went by, sounds of explosions rose and fell, continuously occurring, one competitor after another failing in their alchemy.
When an hour had passed, out of more than ten thousand competitors, half had failed!
However, according to the competition rules, those who failed in alchemy during the three-hour period could not leave the scene.
They had to stay until the three hours were up, so the losers could only remain in place, watching the other competitors continue their alchemy.
Another half-hour passed.
Suddenly, a clear sound rang out, followed by a burst of brilliant light soaring into the sky.
Everyone looked over to see that in front of Xiang Mingzhi, the tripod furnace hovered in mid-air, and one by one, Elixir Pills like pearls and gems flew out of the furnace mouth.
Instantly, the fragrance of the pills filled the air, intoxicating the strong competitors standing around the square.
Soon, all the Spirit Pills had flown out, totaling twenty-two!
And each one glistened, just by looking at their aura and color, one could tell they were top-grade Elixir Pills.
Soon, a disciple from the Alchemy Grandmaster Guild presented these twenty-two Elixir Pills to the chairman’s stage.
After Lin Pinghai appraised them, he spoke, “Twenty-two Great Mighty Spirit God Pills, all top-grade, and the time, one and a half hours!”
Suddenly, the crowd burst into a loud discussion.
In one and a half hours, to be able to successfully refine twenty-two Great Mighty Spirit God Pills, and each one top-grade!
Hearing the discussions and exclamations around him, Xiang Mingzhi couldn’t help but show a proud expression.
He had not used the Green Dragon Divine Fire just now but the Divine Fighting Qi Flames within his body.
However, since merging with the Green Dragon Divine Fire, the Divine Fighting Qi Flames within his body had undergone a transformation, becoming many times more powerful than before.
Xiang Mingzhi looked provocatively and smugly towards Huang Xiaolong who was still busy with his alchemy in the distance.
Not long after, another burst of brilliant light occurred.
The second successful alchemist was the Mountain Goat Ancestor.
The pills crafted by the Mountain Goat Ancestor were also top-grade; however, there were only twenty-one.
Two hours passed, and the number of participants who had successfully completed their alchemy began to increase.
Of course, there were even more who failed.
About two and a half hours later, Huang Xiaolong finally managed to successfully refine the Great Mighty Spirit God Pills.
To him, the two and a half hours were just right, not too conspicuous, yet not too late.
Seeing that it took Huang Xiaolong two and a half hours to refine the Great Mighty Spirit God Pills, Xiang Mingzhi’s face sported an even greater mocking smile.
Soon, three hours had passed, and the preliminaries ended.
In the end, only a little over one hundred thirty contestants made it through.
Over ten thousand participants and only about one hundred thirty passed—the ratio was somewhat frightening.
However, the Alchemy Grandmaster Guild had already anticipated this result; therefore, they had prepared no more than two hundred sets of alchemy spiritual medicine materials and tripod furnaces for the next round in advance.
After those eliminated in the preliminaries left, the square appeared even more spacious.
However, the next round did not start immediately but began half an hour after the end of the preliminaries.
This half-hour was a time for the contestants to regulate their breathing and relax.
Half an hour later, on the chairman’s stage, Lin Pinghai spoke up, “The rules for the next round have already been detailed by me earlier, and I believe everyone is clear about them.
If there are no questions, then the next round starts now!”
“Hold on!” Just as Lin Pinghai’s voice fell, suddenly someone shouted loudly.
Everyone looked over, and it was Xiang Mingzhi who had spoken.
Lin Pinghai’s eyebrows raised slightly.
Xiang Mingzhi looked towards Huang Xiaolong, his voice cold, “Huang Xiaolong, such a contest seems rather dull, how about we make a bet?
If you lose, give me the Five-Colored Gathering God Flag, the Ten Thousand Buddha Kasaya, and twenty-five treasures, including the Ice Soul Treasure.
Additionally, kneel before me and knock your head a thousand times to admit your mistake; whenever you see me in the future, call me Ancestor!” His voice wasn’t loud, but everyone around the square heard it clearly, causing a stir.
Huang Xiaolong’s eyes flashed coldly as he stared directly at the opponent, his expression cold, “And if you lose?”
Xiang Mingzhi was startled, then laughed loudly, “Huang Xiaolong, do you think you can still win against me this time?
It seems you don’t understand what the Green Dragon Divine Fire represents.
Didn’t your master, Elder Sheng Yue, tell you?” His laughter was filled with arrogance.
