Lian Changyun was filled with shame and anger, which made him speechless. It was not that Shen Xiang did not want to compete with him, but that he could not reach that level. This was a great insult to him.
When Shen Xiang saw Ji Lian Changyun's expression, he sneered secretly in his heart. Of course he wanted the white jade lotus seeds, but it was a pity that he had already signed up for the high-level competition.
Seeing his son humiliated in front of Gu Dongchen and Wu Kaiming, Lian Yingxiao sighed secretly in his heart. How could he not know his son's character? However, he felt that it was okay to let him suffer a little, which would make him more mature.
"This is indeed the certificate of a fifth-level alchemist. The low-level fifth level is very rare for someone of your age. I wonder which three types of low-grade Xuan-level pills you refined?" Lian Yingxiao exchanged the jade token with Shen Xiang and asked with a smile.
Gu Dongchen and the others also wanted to know what the three kinds of low-grade Xuan-level pills that Shen Xiang knew how to refine were, but Shen Xiang smiled mysteriously: "Please forgive me, I will keep it secret for the time being."
Gu Dongchen knocked his head hard: "Hurry up, you mysterious boy!"
Chen Xiang stuck out his tongue at him: "I won't tell you, what can you do to me?"
Seeing Shen Xiang being so rude to their headmaster, even Ying Xiao and his son were very surprised, because Gu Dongchen was not angry either, it can be seen that Shen Xiang is highly valued by Gu Dongchen in Taiwu Sect.
Lian Changyun secretly gritted his teeth. He wanted to save some face. Now he felt that he was looked down upon by Shen Xiang. He said, "I came here to compete with the youngest disciple of Taiwu Sect. Even if I can't compete with you in alchemy, I want to compete with you in strength. Shen Xiang, come and have a bet battle with me!"
Originally, Shen Xiang felt sorry for not being able to get the white jade lotus seeds, but he didn't expect that this face-conscious guy would actually give it to him on his own initiative. If you don't take advantage of an opportunity, you're a bastard. Of course, he wanted to agree to it readily, but he still looked at Lian Yingxiao and Gu Dongchen's expressions.
Lian Yingxiao nodded to Gu Dongchen, indicating that it was okay. Seeing this, Shen Xiang smiled and said, "I wonder if Brother Lian is still gambling with the white jade lotus seeds? I'm very short of money recently. When I was learning to refine pills, the headmaster didn't support me at all. I had to pay for it myself. Alas, when I meet a stingy headmaster, I can only work hard on my own."
Shen Xiang was able to become a fifth-level alchemist by working hard all the way up by himself. Lian Changyun didn't believe it at all, but Lian Yingxiao believed it. He knew Gu Dongchen very well and he was indeed very stingy. He could also see the subtle relationship between Shen Xiang and Gu Dongchen.
"Of course you'll use white jade lotus seeds to bet? I wonder what you'll use to bet with me? You should know the value of white jade lotus seeds." Lian Changyun said as he took out the white jade lotus seeds. This thing unique to Lotus Island is not only very useful, but also has a long growth cycle. It is said that it takes seven or eight thousand years to grow.
Shen Xiang had obtained a very huge Hell Ganoderma in Xuanwu Xuanjing. He took it out now and said with a smile: "The effect of my Hell Ganoderma is the same as your White Jade Lotus Seed, but my Hell Ganoderma is very big, at least equivalent to three of your White Jade Lotus Seeds. This is the only thing I can show off."
A Hell Ganoderma lucidum as big as a face is quite scary. Lian Yingxiao had heard that Shen Xiang obtained it in the Xuanwu Realm. At that time, he was surrounded and snatched by a group of Zhenwu Realm people. That group of Zhenwu Realm people were also all destroyed by Shen Xiang at that time.
Lian Yingxiao nodded and said, "It's equivalent to four white jade lotus seeds. Chang Yun, your stake is a little less now!"
Shen Xiang still admired Lian Yingxiao's character. He did not favor his son, and he even signaled his son to be fair and put out the same amount of bets.
Lian Changyun gritted his teeth and took out a fiery red lotus. When the lotus appeared, the whole courtyard became much hotter and stuffier. Shen Xiang didn't recognize what it was, but he knew that this thing was of great use to those who practiced fire.
"It's the Fire Dragon Blood Lotus. The most precious parts are the ten lotus seeds. There's no need to make a pill out of it. Eating it directly is extremely helpful for the flames. Although it's inferior to life-saving elixirs like the White Jade Lotus Seeds and the Hell Ganoderma, it's very precious." Su Meiyao said immediately, her voice filled with surprise.
"It is said that there was once a lotus that was absorbed by the blood of the Fire Dragon God, and then it grew on its own and produced a large number of Fire Dragon Blood Lotuses. There must be some planted on the Lotus Island." Long Xueyi swallowed, and it was obvious that she really wanted to go to the Lotus Island to steal food.
Shen Xiang took a deep breath and said, "Fire Dragon Blood Lotus, Lotus Island is indeed the legendary number one treasure house in Chenwu Continent. I have really broadened my horizons today. I admire you!"
Gu Dongchen and Wu Kaiming could not recognize this kind of thing, but Shen Xiang actually knew it, which made them admire him. They had heard of the Fire Dragon Blood Lotus, but had never seen it, and they didn't even know that it existed in the Lotus Island.
"Good eyesight!" The Lotus Island Master exclaimed, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, because this was the first time someone recognized him at a glance. In the past, he had to say the name himself.
Lian Yingxiao felt that there was a huge gap between his son and Shen Xiang, both in terms of experience and sophistication. Shen Xiang always called himself a younger brother and addressed Lian Changyun as Brother Lian, while Lian Changyun always addressed Shen Xiang by his name. However, this was not because Shen Xiang respected Lian Changyun, but Lian Changyun had a bad attitude towards Shen Xiang, but Shen Xiang pretended not to see it and still treated Lian Changyun in a friendly manner.
Thinking of this, Lian Changyun couldn't help but sigh secretly. He knew why Shen Xiang could gain the respect of so many disciples in the Southern Wilderness, because he knew how to respect others, but his son couldn't do that.
Of course, he also knew that Shen Xiang was a ruthless person. If he wasn't here, Shen Xiang might not have looked at Lian Changyun well.
"Then it's settled. Let us old guys judge. By the way, kid, you can't use that knife. I still don't know what level of treasure it is." Gu Dongchen said. If you use that thing, even Chang Yun would not let Shen Xiang kill him.
Shen Xiang smiled and said: "Of course not, you can't fight as much as you want with weapons."
"Let me make it clear in advance that I entered the sixth stage of Zhenwu Realm a few days ago. I am stronger than you. How about I ask you to use three moves? I will not attack within three moves. I will just block or dodge." Lian Changyun said proudly. He was very proud that he could enter the sixth stage of Zhenwu Realm at his age. Although he was already a hundred years old, to a Zhenwu Realm warrior, he was just like a child.
Of course Chen Xiang would appreciate it if someone gave him such a favor. He smiled and said, "Then I would like to thank Brother Lian. I won't be polite!"
