2021-09-12Chapter 126 Hai Bodong Recovers
After a while, the energy ripples in the center of the square gradually dissipated, and everyone knew that the two had already made their pills. The other contestants also made their pills, but compared with the colored pill fragrance and energy ripples produced by Holden and Xiao Se, they were not as good as they thought, because, among them, the strongest Liu Ling could only make a third-grade peak pill. It's not that his alchemy skills are bad, but in the end, he is still within the scope of ordinary people and is too young.
The huge square fell into a dead silence, and everyone in the square slowed down their breathing and stared at the center of the square. To be more precise, they were staring at Xiao Se and Holden.
This conference not only concerns the ownership of the champion but also the honor of the Gama Empire Alchemist Conference. If Holden wins, then the Gama Empire will lose face.
On the high platform, Famaxu narrowed his old eyes and looked around the center of the square. When he saw Holden's smug smile, he couldn't help but frown. He turned his gaze and looked at Xiao Se, who had a calm face. He felt a little relieved and said loudly, "Please show us the pills you have made, all contestants."
"Haha. Alright, alright. I don't want to waste my time on a bunch of losers. This is the pill I made, a fifth-grade recovery pill. It's especially used to heal some serious injuries, and it's mild. It won't cause any damage to an already injured body, making it an excellent pill for healing serious injuries." Holden walked up to the contestants and raised his hand. A magical pill emitting a rich red medicinal aroma slowly floated in his palm.
As soon as the fifth-grade elixir appeared, the entire square was filled with shock. This level of fifth-grade elixir, to a certain extent, was like an extra life for the vast majority of cultivators present who had not reached the level of Dou Huang or even Dou Wang.
On the platform, Fama glanced at Holden coldly, then suddenly turned his gaze to Xiao Se and continued, "Next!"
Hearing this, the contestants lowered their heads one by one, and no one dared to take out the pills they had refined, because, except Xiao Se, none of them had even refined a fourth-grade pill.
Then they looked at Xiao Se and gave him expectant eyes. It was obvious that compared to Holden from the enemy country, they hoped that Xiao Se, who was from the Gama Empire, would win.
Looking at the expectant glances cast at him by the crowd, Xiao Se smiled indifferently, suddenly stretched out his right hand, slowly spread out his palm, and a purple round pill emitting a more intense fragrance than Holden's came into everyone's sight.
"A fifth-grade elixir, the Purple Pill of Restoring Soul, can completely restore the strength that has declined due to seals or internal injuries."
"Hahaha good...good...good." On the high platform, looking at the pills displayed by Xiao Se below, Fama's turbid old eyes radiated a dazzling brilliance, and he laughed and shouted three good words in a row. Then he looked at Holden, whose face turned pale instantly after hearing about the Soul-Restoring Purple Pill, and said to everyone in the field with a smile: "Restoring Pill and Soul-Restoring Purple Pill, I believe that any alchemist with some qualifications should have heard of it. Then who is the winner of the championship."
"Wait a minute." A shrill voice suddenly sounded, and Holden raised his pale face and shouted at Fama.
"What? You, the president of the Alchemist Guild of the Izumo Empire, can't even tell which is better, the Purple Soul-Restoring Pill or the Recovery Pill?" Upon hearing this, Fama's face slightly condensed and he said in a cold voice.
"Of course, I know how powerful the Fuling Purple Pill is, but who knows whether the pill he made is a scam. I request that a panel of alchemy masters outside the Alchemist Guild be dispatched to personally inspect it." Holden pointed at Xiao Se and shouted.
He naturally knew that Xiao Se's pill was real, and the reason he was willing to risk completely angering Fama was so that he could take advantage of the chaos during the inspection to escape.
However, things often do not develop in the direction people expect.
Before Fama could get angry, Xiao Se, who was standing next to Holden, slowly said, "Don't bother with that. Only practice is the only criterion for testing the truth."
As he spoke, Xiao Se snapped his fingers and the Soul-Restoring Purple Pill flew in front of Hai Bodong at an extremely tricky angle and was easily caught by him.
"Mr. Hai, this is the elixir I promised you. In that case, please try it out on the spot." Xiao Se looked up at Hai Bodong on the platform and said with a smile.
"Haha, little guy, thank you." Holding the Purple Pill of Fuling, Hai Bodong's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. He licked his lips and swallowed the pill into his stomach in the astonished eyes of everyone.
The next second, Hai Bodong's aura suddenly surged, his icy wings suddenly spread out, his calves slightly bent, and his body suddenly flew up into the sky, hovering above the center of the square. Instantly, a bone-chilling cold wind blew over the huge square, carrying countless tiny ice crystals that slowly fell. In a moment, the temperature of the originally hot square dropped to a freezing level.
The aura that erupted from Hai Bodong also increased from a two-star Dou Huang to a five-star Dou Huang.
"Holden, the facts are in front of us, what else do you have to say?" On the high platform, looking at Hai Bodong whose cultivation level had skyrocketed, Fama was shocked. He glanced at Holden who had already packed up the alchemy furnace and medicinal materials and was ready to escape, and said coldly.
"Old Fama, what else are you talking about? I'm going to kill him right now." Jia Xingtian on the side shrugged and said jokingly.
The recovery of Hai Bodong's cultivation level made Dejia Xingtian feel a little pressured. He had been holding back his anger for a long time and now was worried about having no place to vent it.
Hai Bodong also flew back to Fama. With his cultivation restored and in a good mood, he smiled at Fama and said, "Old Fama, I just happen to need a sandbag. Do you want me to help you deal with him?"
"Hmph! At this point, what else can you do except force me to use my ultimate move?" Looking at the gloomy aura released by Jia Xingtian, Hai Bodong, and the Fama people on the platform, Holden's face turned completely gloomy. He calmly took the antidote to the Fu Rong Dan, returning to his original gloomy old man appearance, and sneered.
Hearing this, Fama and others frowned. Just when they thought Holden was going to do something crazy, they saw a pair of black fighting wings pop out from behind Holden. He was startled and quickly rushed towards the outside of Jiama City.
Everyone was speechless. After all this time, Holden's ultimate move was to escape. However, his cultivation level of Fighting King was beyond the expectations of most people present.
"I'll go after him." Hai Bodong took the lead, spread his icy wings, fluttered slightly, and leaped after him. Jia Xingtian also spread his khaki fighting wings and chased after him.
Xiao Se, who was in the center of the square, saw Hai Bodong and Jia Xingtian were about to chase after him, and hurriedly sent a message: "Hai Lao, please leave him alive for me, I have something to ask him."
Hai Bodong was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then he nodded slightly and hurried after him without looking back.
