C312 Harder(2)
Someone lost his voice and suddenly stopped.
Yes!
Qu Tenghai really did have one!
After winning that round, he placed another bet on Ye Xiao. He won another five million, which meant that he now had a total of 9.5 million on him! Of course, most of it was in the hands of Ardent Sun Clan, and not in his hands. However, the Ardent Sun Clan obviously wouldn't covet this money. In the end, it was still his.
A gambler who didn't take out a single cent was actually willing to take out more than half of his fortune and bet on a person who had nothing to do with him to win?
Furthermore, this wasn't an ordinary gamble.
If it was a martial arts spar, with Ye Xiao's performance yesterday, perhaps they would also be tempted. But now, it wasn't the case. It was a huge bet in the field of alchemy and medicine, and the other party was the world-renowned Medicine Saint's disciple!
"Courting death?"
Everyone was completely unable to understand Qu Tenghai's forthright and domineering attitude, and they furrowed their brows. However, what they didn't know was that Qu Tenghai was also feeling nervous in his heart.
Could Ye Xiao win?
He was 80% sure that he wouldn't win!
Even so, he still stood up decisively. As for the reason, it was not as complicated as others thought. It was only because of two points -
"I was able to condense my Dao Heart because of him. Even if I lose, five million spirit crystals is enough to exchange for his recognition! If I can follow him and climb up the high branch of Ardent Sun Clan..."
At this moment, Qu Tenghai was nervous and excited. He looked at Ye Xiao with anticipation, hoping that Ye Xiao would nod his head.
Lia Jun and Lia Wudi's eyes flashed when they saw this scene. However, they did not stop him. They had been in high positions for many years, so how could they not see through Qu Tenghai's thoughts at this moment.
But this had nothing to do with them.
In fact, they approved of Qu Tenghai's action because it was beneficial to them! No matter what the outcome of the bet between Ye Xiao and Jiang Hanyue was, they were the ones who benefited from it.
As for Jiang Hanyue, even though he was angry at Qu Tenghai for causing trouble again, he didn't stop him from doing so.
It didn't matter.
In any case, they were all here to give money, so who would give money to different people?
"Just wait for it to be shameful!"
Jiang Hanyue was full of fighting spirit. He looked at Ye Xiao provocatively, with a strong sense of ridicule.
Obviously, there were only two paths in front of Ye Xiao.
Bet.
Or not bet.
If not gambling was equivalent to admitting defeat, then everything that was said before would become a real slap to the face.
If he gambled...
"I don't believe that you can really beat me!"
Everyone had their own pride in their hearts. To Jiang Hanyue, it was Medicine Saint's skill in alchemy. It was because of the greed and ambition in his heart. This pride was even more important, and he would never allow anyone to blaspheme him. This was the foundation for him to establish himself in the Jianghu and the Cultivation Realm!
At the same time, this was also the reason why Ye Xiao was so furious when he said that there was something wrong with the panacea he concocted.
Extracting my foundation?
Isn't this asking me to die?
Want me to die?
Then I'll kill you first!
Standing in Jiang Hanyue's position, his response was naturally correct. However, everyone's gaze was focused on Ye Xiao. Waiting for his next answer, he would step onto the arena. While he was gambling with Jiang Hanyue, there was an unexpected scene. It happened.
Ye Xiao's lips curled up into a smile, as if this was the first time he had met Qu Tenghai. He gave Qu Tenghai a deep look and said with a smile:
"Thank you, Brother Qu, for helping us out."
Qu Tenghai's body trembled. He hurriedly wanted to return the salute, but before he could bend down, he heard Ye Xiao's clear voice once again.
"But this time, I don't need Brother Qu to spend any more money."
What?
He didn't need Qu Tenghai to spend money?
What did this mean?
When Ye Xiao said this, everyone was stunned. The same went for Lia Jun and Lia Wudi. They looked at Ye Xiao in surprise.
Could it be that Ye Xiao was going to admit defeat?
This was totally different from the imposing manner he had shown earlier.
Buzz!
For a moment, it seemed like the altar was going to fall into restlessness and chaos once again, until Ye Xiao's next words were heard.
"Because there is no need for that."
No need?
Everyone was stunned once again. Even the discussions of the crowd below stopped for a moment. Everyone's eyes were focused on Ye Xiao. They were looking at the panacea that Lia Wudi was still holding in his hand. There seemed to be a flash of extraordinary splendor in his eyes. Ye Xiao continued to speak.
"This pill is indeed not bad. It is at the third level of Fire Refinement and has excellent skills. I'm afraid that if I were to take it out, it would only be so-so."
It was only so-so?
Hiss!
The crowd stirred again after Ye Xiao's words.
Was he really going to admit defeat?
Was he going to lose before the competition even started?
Lia Wudi and Lia Jun's eyes lit up, as if they could hear Ye Xiao's words. Sure enough, at this moment, the two clear words were like a heavy hammer, smashing into the hearts of everyone present.
"But..."
"Just as I said, the pill is a good pill, but if Mr Lia really swallowed it today, I'm afraid that it will be a tragedy for Ardent Sun Clan!"
Tragedy!
A tragedy for Ardent Sun Clan?!
Ye Xiao spoke vaguely, but there were so many people present. How could there be stupid people who were qualified to come to this temple? When he said these words, the expressions of everyone present changed. Especially Lia Jun, Lia Wudi, and the others, their faces were filled with shock. They were shocked by Ye Xiao's bold words, and also shocked by the severity of his words.
The tragedy of Ardent Sun Clan... did this mean that Lia Wudi might die?
Boom!
In an instant, the crowd below the altar exploded. The noise could no longer be contained. The sound of discussion was loud and clear, and the shock contained within it was endless.
On the side, Jiang Hanyue's expression changed drastically, and his fury erupted once again.
"Bullshit!"
"Slandering him! Mr Lia, do not listen to this person's nonsense. This is blatant slander!"
Jiang Hanyue was furious. His face turned red, and his eyes looked like they were about to spit fire. He glared at Ye Xiao. As he was cursing, he seemed to have thought of something and said,
"Ridiculous!"
"You said that my pill is the best in the world, and you also said that it is a poison pill. Isn't that contradictory? "
Conflict?
Ye Xiao laughed when he heard that. He didn't care about the expressions of the people around him and the commotion in the crowd below the altar. He raised his head once again and looked at Jiang Hanyue with a cold gaze.
Still not giving up?
Then I will fight with you!
"Of course not."
At this moment, someone noticed that when Ye Xiao's gaze fell on Jiang Hanyue, his voice suddenly became extremely cold. It was as cold as steel, sharp and threatening.
"Is Young Master Jiang unaware of the consequences of causing such a result? Or is it because you have noticed it, but because you cherish your feathers, you don't dare to tell the truth and let Mr Lia know the truth?"
The truth?
What truth?
On the side, Lia Wudi immediately frowned when he heard that. He looked at Jiang Hanyue and saw that the latter's expression was stunned. It was as if he had thought of something. His eyes were in a trance, but he reacted very quickly and immediately retorted.
"A bloody slander!"
"What did I do? I completely followed Mr Lia's instructions to refine this pill, and with the help of the Tribulation Lightning, there was no problem with the pill I refined! "
"You are slandering me! This is blatant slander!"
Jiang Hanyue instantly flew into a rage, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. Seeing this scene, Ye Xiao immediately frowned.
You still refuse to admit it?
Just as he was about to continue exposing the truth that he saw in the Myriad Origin Divine Eye, an unexpected voice interrupted.
"Something's not right!"
"Young Master Jiang didn't tell me this before. You just said that when you condensed this pill, you used a secret technique passed down in your family. That's why this pill has a three-colored medicinal inscription on it."
Ye Xiao looked over in surprise, but he found that the person who stood out was none other than...
Lia Wudi!1
His brows were tightly knitted, and his tiger eyes were firmly locked onto Jiang Hanyue's body, full of questions and warnings.
Jiang Hanyue was also shocked. He never thought that Lia Wudi would suddenly stand out and refute him. His forehead was immediately covered in sweat, and he quickly defended himself.
"But I also said that it is because of my enhancement that its medicinal properties are stronger and more violent. That's why it can..."
Another verbal argument?
Below the sacrificial altar, the crowd was at a loss as they watched this scene.
When was the end of the sentence?
It was better to have a bet!
However, just as everyone was at a loss, they suddenly saw... Before Jiang Hanyue could finish his sentence, he suddenly stopped. As if he had suddenly thought of something, he suddenly looked up at Ye Xiao, who had been staring at him with a cold smile the entire time. His voice stopped abruptly. A trace of panic and shock appeared in his eyes, which were originally filled with anger.
Shock!
Shock!
Shock!
Numerous different emotions emerged in the depths of Jiang Hanyue's eyes. Anyone could see it, because this was a display of one person's instinct. However, when these emotions were exposed in front of everyone's eyes, it was another meaning.
Lia Wudi's expression changed instantly. His eyes were filled with coldness. He felt that the pill in his hand had become even colder, like ice and snow.
Could it be that it was really as Ye Xiao had said, when Jiang Hanyue was refining this pill, there was really a problem? !
