the youth tremblingly opened the Dan cauldron, evidently also worried.
Inside the Dan cauldron, a Dan was lying there. It was the size of a longan. It was gray.
"Is this the Dan you refined?" Elder Xifeng looked at the youth indifferently.
"Yes... yes..."
the youth looked at Elder Xifeng with some fear.
"Scram!"
Elder Xifeng slapped the youth.
With a "bang", the youth flew out as if riding on clouds and mist.
Landing on the ground, the youth let out a "wah!" and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood before fainting.
The other youths nearby were scared stiff.
"Drag him out!"
Several Martial Warrior youths gleefully dragged the youth out.
Elder Xifeng walked towards the next youth expressionlessly. Perhaps because of the previous example, that youth was even more nervous, with cold sweat dripping from his forehead.
"Open it!" Elder Xifeng remained expressionless.
However, those familiar with Elder Xifeng knew that he was already somewhat annoyed. Elder Xifeng hated nothing more than youths who were ignorant and wasted Alchemy. Even when he was not mentally unstable, he extremely disliked students who were ignorant and casually wasted Alchemy. He often gave cold looks to students who did not study Alchemy properly, although he never beat or scolded them.
However, after becoming mentally unstable, Elder Xifeng often casually beat and scolded those youths who did not refine Dan properly. But that youth just now was considered lucky. Often, some youths had their Qi Seas shattered, making them unable to Cultivate for life.
However, because coming here could earn high contribution points, some students who had not completed College tasks still came here to try their luck.
After opening the Dan cauldron, everyone around was speechless. Because inside the Dan cauldron, the medicinal materials had not fully fused and were still a black mess. The Dan refined by this person was much worse than the previous one.
At this moment, the people around had already started to mourn for this youth.
"And you still dare to be my Dan attendant? This is simply an insult to this old man."
"Boom!" Elder Xifeng was enraged and slapped the youth.
the youth screamed and flew out, falling to the ground and spitting up large mouthfuls of blood. He then fainted.
Everyone could see that the youth's Qi Sea had been shattered and was now beyond help.
The last youth was now standing like a wooden chicken, evidently scared stiff by the fate of his companions. After seeing the Dan cauldron with a Dan that had only half-fused medicinal properties, that youth was also sent flying.
the youths around were as silent as cicadas in winter, not daring to even breathe loudly.
Next was Zhang Hao's turn. Elder Xifeng had noticed Zhang Hao long ago. Earlier, the people nearby were busily refining Dan, while only Zhang Hao sat there calmly. Elder Xifeng also wanted to know if Zhang Hao had something to rely on or if he was just showing off.
"Elder Xifeng, this student has something to report," the Black-Faced Youth respectfully said.
"Speak!" Elder Xifeng looked at the Black-Faced Youth with sharp eyes.
Elder Xifeng was temperamental, so the Black-Faced Youth was speaking to him with a forced courage at this moment.
"Just now, this student made a bet with him, and I hope Elder Xifeng can be a witness," the Black-Faced Youth said respectfully to Elder Xifeng.
"Bet, bet what?" A hint of curiosity squeezed onto Elder Xifeng's face.
"If he loses, he will become a eunuch and self-castrate," the Black-Faced Elder said truthfully.
This bet was indeed very big. Even Elder Xifeng was very surprised. A hint of a smile appeared on his face.
"Interesting. This Elder will be the witness."
Elder Xifeng paused, and said in a cold voice, "However, if either of you loses, this Elder will personally perform the surgery."
"Thank you, Elder," the Black-Faced Youth was overjoyed when he saw that Elder Xifeng had agreed.
"How did you bet?" Elder Xifeng asked again.
The Black-Faced Youth pointed at Ma Lian Qingnian and the three youths next to him, and said with a smile, "They and I are betting that Zhang Hao cannot refine a Qi Replenishing Pill."
"Alright, then you, kid, don't need to say it, are you betting that you can refine it?" Elder Xifeng sneered.
"That is natural," Zhang Hao nodded.
"Alright, open your Dan cauldron!" A cold and solemn aura emanated from Elder Xifeng.
Evidently, Elder Xifeng was also betting that Zhang Hao could not refine a Qi Replenishing Pill.
After the Dan cauldron was opened, a fragrance of Dan wafted out from within.
"Eh!"
Elder Xifeng, as an Alchemist, was very familiar with that fragrance. It was the medicinal fragrance that would only be emitted after a Dan was successfully refined. Could it be that this kid had succeeded in refining it?
Elder Xifeng looked very surprised. Upon closer inspection, he found a longan-sized Dan lying inside the Dan cauldron.
"The color is not sufficiently lustrous, but the medicinal power is concentrated and not dispersed. Low Grade Qi Replenishing Pill? Kid, you have greatly surprised me. I didn't expect you to succeed," Elder Xifeng looked at Zhang Hao and said with slight surprise.
"Elder Xifeng, if that's the case, then Young Master has won the bet?" Zhang Hao stood up from the ground and said lazily.
Elder Xifeng looked at the Dan in his hand and said strangely, "That's right, you've won the bet."
The Black-Faced Youth and Ma Lian Qingnian's expressions changed drastically, and their bodies went limp. The Black-Faced Youth pointed at Zhang Hao and said, "How is that possible? He must be cheating, or he put a pre-refined Dan inside to pass. I didn't even see him refining it, how could he have succeeded?"
"Are you questioning this old man?" Elder Xifeng looked at the Black-Faced Youth, angry but not showing it.
The Black-Faced Youth felt the vast pressure of a Martial Grandmaster expert, and his face instantly turned pale. He said to Elder Xifeng, "Elder Xifeng, it's not that this student is questioning you, but I'm just worried that this person is trying to pass by deception. Unless he refines it again."
Elder Xifeng hesitated, but Zhang Hao said calmly, "It's okay, I can refine it in front of you, it won't take much time anyway."
"Is that true?" The Black-Faced Youth was overjoyed.
"Of course! Bring the medicinal materials! So you won't say I'm cheating again!" Zhang Hao curled his lip into a smile.
"Very good, you said this yourself, don't say I'm bullying you."
The Black-Faced Youth said to his companions on the side, "Give him the medicinal materials."
Soon, a portion of medicinal materials for the Qi Replenishing Pill was placed in front of Zhang Hao. Because Elder Xifeng was also present, this time, they did not dare to tamper with the medicinal materials at all. However, because Zhang Hao had previously refined haphazardly, the Black-Faced Youth and Ma Lian Qingnian both believed that Zhang Hao could not refine Dan at all, and that the previous Low Grade Qi Replenishing Pill must have been refined beforehand. He had just put it into the Dan cauldron when they weren't paying attention.
Zhang Hao indeed put the medicinal materials into the medicinal cauldron in a messy manner, just like before. Then he silently chanted 'refine'.
"Ding dong! Congratulations to Player Zhang Hao for successfully refining a Qi Replenishing Pill, proficiency +1," the System's notification sound rang out.
