Chapter 689: Chapter 686: Li Ruoxiang’s Sincere Gratitude_1
Fang He still couldn’t believe it in his heart. Why?
Just now, Yang Chen had only refined a 5th-grade lower-tier pill, merely beating Wei Gang by luck. But in the blink of an eye, Yang Chen could now refine a grade 6 low-class elixir. Could it be that this man deliberately beat Wei Gang by luck? Had he never shown his true strength all along?
This!
Fang He’s pupils contracted violently.
Following this, the entire scene was enveloped in shock.
“Grade 6 low-class elixir!”
“Dual Cultivation of Martial and Alchemy!”
“Eastern Number One Genius, and at the same time, a peerless Alchemist!”
“Is this a demon? Is this a demon?”
Conversations rose, Yang Chen’s achievements at the moment completely shocked everyone. If Yang Chen had just refined a grade 6 low-class elixir as an elixir genius, that would be fine. They could accept that because the Green Lotus Sect was located in the border area, connecting the Western Region and Central Capital!
So they had seen alchemy demons, and they knew that some alchemy geniuses could refine grade 6 elixirs at a young age.
But, do you know what Yang Chen is?
Yang Chen practices dual cultivation of martial and alchemy.
In martial arts, he was able to get the title of Eastern First Genius. In the way of Alchemy, he also surpassed his peers!
“Eastern First Genius, truly deserving of his name!”
“Awesome!”
“Junior Brother Yang Chen is really amazing!”
Many disciples cheered.
Hearing the cheers, Fang He clenched his teeth and said, “Don’t celebrate too early, I have refined five Longji pills, and you …”
Before he could finish speaking, Yang Chen suddenly said, “So, you think I’ve only refined one Dragon and Tiger Prolonging Life Pill?”
The next moment, Yang Chen no longer hid, but directly took out four more Dragon and Tiger Prolonging Life Pills.
Five of them in total!
At this point, Yang Chen didn’t want to keep a low profile anymore. He had already offended the Great Elder and Fang He, so he might as well offend them even more severely, so much so that they had nothing to say!
“How about that?” Yang Chen grinned.
Fang He felt as if he had been slapped in the face, his face burning hot.
What else could he say?
What more could he say?
He had refined five Longji pills, but Yang Chen had refined five Dragon and Tiger Prolonging Life Pills.
With the same “dragon” character, Fang He felt that this was like a real comparison between him and Yang Chen!
He was like a clown, losing completely!
“Referee, can you announce the result now?” Yang Chen said.
The referee had just come out of the shock. At this moment, seeing the five Dragon and Tiger Prolonging Life Pills in Yang Chen’s hand, and comparing them to Fang He’s five Longji pills, he almost didn’t think before saying, “Yang Chen, wins! Fang He, eliminated!”
When he heard this, Great Elder Zhang Huai’s heart suddenly jumped.
He suddenly realized that to judge an outcome, it is better to wait for the final result.Because of this, his veins bulged and his eyes were bloodshot: “Wei Gang, Wei Gang.”
Now he was filled with hatred and wished he could tear Wei Gang to pieces.
Originally, everything would have been fine. Today’s Pill Battle would have been a complete victory under his control. But all this happened because of Wei Gang. It was because Wei Gang provoked Yang Chen and touched a nail he shouldn’t have, leading to the present failure!
It was bad enough that Wei Gang lost, but even Fang He failed and was no match against Yang Chen’s dominance on the way.
What should he do next?
Zhang Huai’s anger was at its peak, and if it weren’t for Wei Gang, he would have already won. How could Yang Chen possibly win if he hadn’t stepped in?
He had no solution for now, as there were things he couldn’t take back after saying. He couldn’t possibly let Yang Chen take the stage.
“Wei Gang, it’s all because of you, Wei Gang. Call him over to me!” Zhang Huai shouted furiously, wanting to tear Wei Gang to pieces.
At this moment, Wei Gang was standing in the crowd, his face pale with fright. He knew very well that he was in big trouble.
“Senior Brother Wei Gang, the Great Elder wants you!” Several disciples came to inform Wei Gang.
Wei Gang’s heart clenched. He wasn’t a fool and understood that he was finished!
Seeing Zhang Huai so furious, Li Ruoxiang’s elders were delighted; even the usually stern Li Ruoxiang snickered at Zhang Huai’s appearance. Feeling all the pressure lift and the almost secure victory, she was finally able to completely relax.
Although she appeared calm at first, it was just for her subordinates’ sake. She knew that if she panicked, her followers would follow suit. So she had to remain calm, but she was, after all, just another person. And she knew what the consequences of losing would be.
However, Yang Chen’s appearance solved all her problems perfectly.
Although she could understand that Yang Chen was repaying her favor, she was still the one who forcibly brought Yang Chen here. So she had to return some favor to Yang Chen.
But how to repay him became another problem.
As it stood, Zhang Huai was infuriated and defeated, while his two remaining alchemists were simply not worthy opponents. Neither could measure up to Luo Jin, let alone Wei Gang and Fang He.
For Yang Chen, it was now easier than ever to defeat them.
At this point, the referee announced: “Yang Chen wins! Ultimately, Great Elder, not a single alchemist under you has survived, all have been eliminated. Sect Leader Li, only two alchemists remain under you. Mu Xue is replaced by Yang Chen. So in this resource allocation, you can get 70%! Great Elder, you can only get 30%!”
Upon hearing this, the Great Elder was so furious that his anger shot through the roof. He showed no mercy towards Wei Gang, who was kneeling on the ground, incessantly kowtowing for forgiveness.
“Let’s go!” Zhang Huai waved his hand, and his disciples exited together.
As for Wei Gang, it went without saying that he would be severely punished, possibly even to the point of death.
Of course, Yang Chen wouldn’t have any sympathy for Wei Gang. Blame the guy for provoking him in the first place. Yang Chen was still worried about how to teach Mu Xue. Although he could help Mu Xue defeat Luo Jin and Wei Gang in a short time, defeating Fang He would be much more difficult.
But who would have thought that Wei Gang would actually help him in the end, just by a few words!
At this moment, the female disciples looked delighted and victorious as if they had just won a battle.
Li Ruoxiang also led her group of elders to approach them.
“Sect Leader!”
“Sect Leader!”
The disciples greeted her respectfully.
Li Ruoxiang didn’t respond but made her way through the crowd to reach Yang Chen.
At this moment, she hesitated…
In theory, she should thank Yang Chen, but she really lacked the talent to express her gratitude. She had rarely, if ever, genuinely thanked someone. When the words were on the tip of her tongue, she didn’t know how to say them.
Moreover, she was actually having a headache about what to give Yang Chen as a token of gratitude. Ordinary things didn’t seem to interest him much.
