Chapter 251: Chapter 43 Which one did you give? [Looking for monthly tickets!] _1

The beaten Golden Fur Beast pitifully glanced at Chu Liang, hoping he would stand up for it.

Chu Liang blinked his eyes.

Empress Feng’s morning temper was fierce, he didn’t dare to come across her.

However, since it was him who had asked the Golden Fur Beast to perform, if he hid behind now, it would seem a bit irresponsible... Then how could the beast work for him in the future?

So he stepped forward and cleared his throat, "Master, it’s already quite late. Waking up now would be just in time for lunch."

He subtly reminded her that it was the middle of the day, and if someone was disturbed by the noise of the Golden Fur Beast, it wasn’t necessarily the beast’s fault.

Empress Feng rubbed her sleepy eyes and mumbled, "What do you know? I stayed up all night last night for our Silver Sword Peak, and only slept when it was dawn."

"Oh?" Chu Liang wondered, "Didn’t master get drunk last night?"

"Of course not!" Empress Feng replied, "The Shu Mountain Peak Conference has added a new event, and I was preparing for it!"

"What event?" Chu Liang asked.

This was probably what the Peak Master had mentioned at the meeting the other day. The news hadn’t yet reached ordinary disciples like them. And if the Peak Master could participate, it was likely some kind of entertainment, not a serious competition.

As expected, Empress Feng lifted her head and announced loudly, "Alcohol God Competition!"

Good heavens.

It was directly relevant to her.

Chu Liang looked at Empress Feng’s smug smile, which seemed to say "I’ve finally found my niche," and couldn’t help feeling confused. Why would the Shu Mountain Peak Conference create such a strange event?

A mahjong competition might be explained as a mental exercise.

But anyway, this was good news. Empress Feng was the second best drinker on Shu Mountain. No one would dare to claim the first place. Even if this was just an entertainment event, the reward wouldn’t be low.

He even suspected that it was due to Empress Feng’s constant gifts to the Shu Mountain authorities that this event was added.");

But preparing for the Alcohol God Competition...

Wasn’t that just...drinking?

The Golden Fur Beast, not knowing if it could understand human words, had a big face, pouting, full of anger but not daring to show it.

...

At lunchtime, the Mountain God Sacrifice Team gathered together.

A few simple dishes were laid out on the table. Since Chu Liang was hosting the meal, home-cooked dishes were chosen for their delicious and affordable nature.

He asked Lin Bei, "Has the news about selling the third clue’s answer spread?"

Lin Bei said, "The rumor has been spread. It’s said that I made a decision against our captain’s will to sell the answer to the last third clue."

Shang Ziliang was a bit worried, "Big Brother, is this really okay? If we sell the third clue as well, we’ll completely lose our advantage..."

"Don’t worry, I’ll go and get the White Jade glazed cup soon," Chu Liang said.

"Ah? Are we finally getting it?" Attendant A also got excited, "Nobody else has received any rewards yet. If we get it, we’ll be in first place!"

Chu Liang hadn’t told them the details, so they didn’t know about Chu Liang’s fight against the Shu Mountain upper echelon. They just thought Chu Liang still had a problem he couldn’t solve.

But it wasn’t wrong to say so.

The top three teams in the Mountain God Sacrifice would get rewarded, the only difference was the size of the reward. Their best hope before teaming up with Chu Liang was to get third place. Who would have thought they could be first?

Chu Liang nodded slightly.

Given Senior Sister Jiang’s pride, even if Chu Liang hadn’t taken the Green Pill, she probably wouldn’t have claimed the reward before him.

This was also why Chu Liang was preparing to act immediately. Others might solve the puzzle soon. If he continued to delay and didn’t claim the reward, others might not wait for him.

And if he didn’t claim the reward, Senior Sister Jiang wouldn’t claim it before him, which would affect her ranking as well.

"But how are we going to sell this third clue?" Lin Bei asked again, "Although many people are interested, once many people buy it, those who come later might not buy it. After all, only the top three are rewarded, so buying later is meaningless."

Chu Liang smiled inscrutably and said, "Auction."

"Wow--" The team exclaimed.

No one had thought of this before.

Three clues, three different selling methods, all maximizing Chu Liang’s profit. Anyone else with the same three clues to sell wouldn’t have achieved such good results.

Chu Liang waved his hand and said with a smile, "Don’t be surprised, let’s eat first...eh?"

As he talked and lowered his head, he suddenly noticed that there was nothing in front of him.

"I remember I ordered some food?"

...

Shortly after, Chu Liang arrived at Biluo Peak again.

The ancient trees of Biluo still towered into the sky.

He landed on a branch he had been on before, loudly calling out, "Uncle Yan, sorry to bother you again."

A white light flashed before his eyes, and suddenly a figure appeared, it was Daoist Yan, the Biluo Peak Master who was usually dressed in a two-color Taoist robe representing blue and white, presenting a severe look with a lofty demeanor.

She looked towards Chu Liang with her always indifferent eyes, "You’re here again, did you get the top-grade Green Pill?"

"Yes, I did." Chu Liang smiled, took out a small pill box, and with a lift of his hand, it floated seemingly out of thin air towards her.

Daoist Yan took the pill box, glanced at it, and said, "Then I’ll call a disciple from the Pill Furnace Hall to test the pill."

Even though she could recognize the grade of the Green Pill, this matter must be verified by the disciples of the Pill Furnace Hall to be valid. The process was a necessity in the Mountain God Sacrifice ceremony.

After saying this, she raised her hand and sent out a white light. The light came and went in an instant and immediately flew to the Pill Furnace Hall at Tontian Peak, transforming midway to form two lines of white characters.

"Silver Sword Peak disciple has a top-grade Green Pill, come verify."

Upon receiving the message, someone from the Pill Furnace Hall quickly arrived. It was none other than the seventh disciple personally taught by the Pill Furnace Elder, who Chu Liang had met before.

Liu Qin.

He was wearing a large white robe and had hurried over with a gust. His face was calm and unruffled.

Previously, they at the Pill Furnace Hall had put the most effort into preventing Chu Liang from acquiring the first-place prize. During the time when Chu Liang had not shown up, they were extremely anxious, hoping that another team would arrive for this process. So, when Jiang Yuebai came to acquire the top-grade Green Pill, they virtually gave it to her for free and even delivered it to her, wishing someone else would take first place as soon as possible.

But who could have expected that the first one to come for pill inspection would still be Chu Liang?

Although it was normal for a personally taught disciple to verify the pill during the grand occasion of the Mountain God Sacrifice, the one who had arrived happened to have previous animosity with Chu Liang. It clearly showed the attitude of the Pill Furnace Hall.

It was certain that they would not give him any chance to muddle through.

"Senior Brother Liu." Chu Liang greeted with a smile.

Liu Qin looked at him and snorted, not responding.

In the last event, Chu Liang had gained an advantage and could act as if nothing had happened. But he had been beaten and taken a loss, so he harbored some resentment.

"This is the top-grade Green Pill he submitted. Take a look." Daoist Yan handed over the pill that Chu Liang had submitted.

"Yes." Liu Qin respectfully first took the pill box from Daoist Yan’s hand.

As he turned around, a faint cold smile appeared on his face. He seemed to not believe that Chu Liang could obtain a top-grade Green Pill. He was thinking about how to expose his bluff.

But soon, his expression became disgruntled. He stared at the pill carefully as if he wanted to scrutinize every speck of dust on it.

After a good while, his eyes were full of disbelief.

Liu Qin looked at Chu Liang as if he had thought of something, and loudly said, "This must be the pill we gave Junior Sister Jiang Yuebai!"

"What?" Hearing the name of her favorite disciple, Daoist Yan lightly asked.

Liu Qin said, "There has only been one top-grade Green Pill distributed from our Pill Furnace Hall recently, and that was given to Junior Sister Jiang Yuebai. It’s needless to ask where he got this pill from!"

Daoist Yan looked at Chu Liang and asked, "Did Yue Bai give you this pill?"

"No," Chu Liang immediately shook his head.

"Of course she didn’t give it to you. How could our Senior Sister Jiang just give you the chance to take first place." Liu Qin said, "You must have obtained it by unjust means, either by stealing or robbing!"

Daoist Yan remained calm, just looking at Chu Liang. Although the Mountain God Sacrifice competition did not prohibit stealing or robbing, if Chu Liang had stolen this pill from her favorite disciple, she would not be too happy about it.

Chu Liang looked strangely at Liu Qin and asked, "How many top-grade Green Pills did you give Senior Sister Jiang from your Pill Furnace Hall?"

"Naturally, only one." Liu Qin answered, "If you took it away, Senior Sister Jiang won’t have one!"

In front of Daoist Yan, he was trying to pit Chu Liang against Biluo Peak.

But Chu Liang didn’t argue.

He just casually flipped his hand, revealing another lustrous top-grade Green Pill. He asked, "If I need to return the top-grade Green Pill to Senior Sister Jiang, could Senior Brother Liu please tell me which of these two you gave her?"

"Huh?"

Seeing the second top-grade Green Pill, both Liu Qin and Daoist Yan were somewhat surprised.

The Pill Furnace Hall confirmed that there were no Green Pills circulating outside, so putting out a question on this subject was already quite rare, but where did he get a second one?

Unexpectedly, Chu Liang flipped his hand again and took out another top-grade Green Pill, "Is this the one you gave?"

"Or this one?"

"Or this one?"

Just like a magician, every time he turned his hand, a top-grade Green Pill would appear in his palm. In no time, he has held five or six pills.

During these days, Chu Liang has not only been studying the art of alchemy, but he has also managed to produce several top-grade Green Pills. Even though the effects of these pills could reach the top grade, there were still some flaws on them. In order not to give others a chance to nitpick, he repeated the refinement process until he finally produced a few perfect Green Pills.

All the top-grade Green Pills he had produced were all here.

In the face of Liu Qin’s increasingly astonished expression, Chu Liang finally picked up a jade gourd and casually threw the whole thing over.

"Could Senior Brother Liu please check it thoroughly and tell me which one is the one you gave to Senior Sister Jiang?"
