Chapter 2139: Honor in Defeat
Chapter 2139: Honor in Defeat
Shen Xiang's expression was also very solemn. Xiao Ping's alchemy skills were very strong. He could feel it clearly. He had no idea whether he could win. If it were in the past, he would definitely be very confident.
"Okay, we finished it at the same time, now it depends on quantity and quality!" Xiao Ping said.
Shen Xiang nodded, and then he and Xiao Ping took out the Five Elements Divine Pill from the furnace at the same time!
Seeing the Five Elements Divine Pills they took out, everyone was stunned. There were actually six of them! It was already amazing that they could refine two or three of these Five Elements Divine Pills, but now they could refine six. Judging from the color, they must be of top quality.
At this moment, no one dared to look down on Shen Xiang anymore, and they dared not laugh at Xiao Baifeng for keeping a man. A man who could refine six Five Elements Divine Pills in a furnace in more than half an hour could keep two Xiao Baifengs.
"Is it a draw?" said the old follower.
"No, now it depends on the quality!" Xiao Ping took out a round disc with a small concave spot in the middle, which was just big enough to hold a magic pill. Next to the middle of the disc was a square crystal with many complex spiritual patterns on it.
"This is a divine artifact for testing quality. My master commissioned the Nine Skies Divine Emperor to refine it. Can you trust this artifact?" Xiao Ping said.
Shen Xiang nodded. Although the Jiuxiao Divine Emperor was defeated, many of the divine artifacts he refined are still circulating and are very precious.
"Okay, the square crystal on the disc will display a value. The larger the value, the higher the quality. Let's test the six magic pills we have refined separately. The one with the highest total value is the winner." Xiao Ping's face was also very serious at this moment. He didn't want to lose to Shen Xiang.
"Okay!" Shen Xiang nodded.
"I'll go first!" Xiao Ping put a Five Elements Magic Pill into the small dent, and the crystal suddenly lit up and a number appeared.
"Ninety!" Xiao Ping said, and then asked Shen Xiang to see clearly.
"Go on!" Shen Xiang said.
Xiao Ping took out the Five Elements Divine Pill and put in another one. It also showed ninety. Six pills in a row were of ninety quality!
Shen Xiang was also very surprised by this. Xiao Ping could control himself so well and so steadily.
"It's your turn!" Xiao Ping said.
Shen Xiang put in the Five Elements Divine Pill that he had refined, and the first pill showed ninety-three, which made everyone suddenly amazed. The quality was actually better than Xiao Ping's.
The next four pills are all ninety, and now it's the last pill's turn. If it is also ninety, Xiao Ping loses!
At this moment, Xiao Ping was concentrating on looking at the testing artifact, and beads of sweat were actually oozing out of his forehead.
"Eighty-six!" Shen Xiang frowned, unable to believe that he actually lost.
The total value of Xiao Ping's six pills was five hundred and forty, while Shen Xiang's was five hundred and thirty-nine, although he lost a little.
"I won!" Xiao Ping smiled calmly, "But it wasn't easy to win. You were just a little bit away from defeating me. I don't want the 1 billion divine stones anymore. Anyway, I won!"
Xiao Ping didn't care about the 1 billion Divine Yuan Stones. It was enough to keep his Qianyuan Divine Fire Pill!
Although Shen Xiang was defeated, he still won with honor, because Xiao Ping's victory was not easy, and Shen Xiang was able to refine a pill of quality ninety-three, which was quite good. In the Emperor Jiu Palace, if you are not a very old alchemist, it is impossible to do it.
This competition has already shown Shen Xiang's level! It can be said that he is almost the same as Xiao Ping, and everyone also knows that Shen Xiang does not have much godhood, which is also an important reason that affects the quality of his alchemy. If he reaches the third-level God King like Xiao Ping, it is hard to say!
"Take it and give it to Prince Ping!" Xiao Baifeng took out a storage bag and handed it to Xiao Ping's old follower. Everyone knew that this was 10 billion Divine Yuan Stones, but Xiao Baifeng did not appreciate Xiao Ping's kindness.
But anyone who knows Xiao Baifeng a little bit knows that although she is a maid, she is very strong-willed, so it is not surprising that she would do this.
According to the regulations, the refined elixir cannot be taken away. After Shen Xiang lost, he was in a bad mood.
"Let's compete again next time." Shen Xiang said to Xiao Ping with a smile.
"I will definitely beat you again then! Of course, if you can beat me again, this will still be yours." Xiao Ping raised the recipe of the Qianyuan Divine Fire Pill in his hand. Although he beat Shen Xiang by a small margin, it gave him enough confidence.
Shen Xiang came to Xiao Baifeng and looked at her with a guilty look on his face.
"Just win it back next time. You're not bad!" Xiao Baifeng was very satisfied with Shen Xiang's performance. At least she didn't feel bad about losing 1 billion Divine Yuan Stones. When she said this, she also showed a faint smile to Shen Xiang. It was a smile of encouragement and appreciation.
Shen Xiang lost to Xiao Ping, but this also made him famous here. After all, his level is almost the same as Xiao Ping's!
Back in the house, Xiao Baifeng said, "Didn't you show your true strength?"
Chen Xiang nodded and sighed: "I was careless and underestimated this guy! It's all my fault. In order not to cause too much noise, I didn't use my strongest means."
Xiao Baifeng was very clear about Shen Xiang's strength, because the mutated Sky Fire Divine Pill refined by Shen Xiang was very terrifying, and the quality was frighteningly high. She felt that if Shen Xiang refined the Five Elements Divine Pill, it would definitely be able to reach that quality of possessing spiritual light. She just wondered why Shen Xiang didn't refine it.
What she didn't know was that Shen Xiang was using the Heavenly Refining Technique. He must not expose this when he came to the Kingdom of Gods. And he wanted to refine a divine elixir with spiritual light, so that broken elixir furnace would definitely explode. If he used the Magic Furnace at that time, it would easily expose his Heavenly Refining Technique and his true identity.
Yue Er said, "Sister Bai Feng, how many divine stones do you have now?"
"Not much left, only over 20 million! But for an alchemist, this is not enough to fill the gaps in my teeth." Xiao Baifeng sighed, "I wonder if the princess will pay attention to you because of your competition with the prince today. If she still doesn't pay attention to you, I can only think of other ways to earn divine stones to support you."
Yue Er chuckled and said, "Sister Bai Feng, you are not actually raising a little man, you are just raising a little bad guy."
"Yue'er, how did you also get this strange disease?" Shen Xiang stretched out his hand to tickle her. He felt that it must be Long Xueyi who led her astray.
"Stop messing around, someone's here, and she's a beauty." Yue'er shouted, she was made to giggle non-stop by Chen Xiang.
Xiao Baifeng also knew that someone was coming, and hurried to open the door. It was a woman in red with a charming smile on her beautiful face. She was very tall, two heads taller than Xiao Baifeng.
"It's you. Did the princess ask you to come?" Xiao Baifeng said. She didn't give the woman a good look.
"I guess so!" The woman in red did not enter the house, because Xiao Baifeng did not let her in. She could only peek at Shen Xiang inside, and gave him a very sweet and gentle smile.
