“Yes, we need to add some color to this!”
“It’s more interesting with a little extra on the line.”
These onlookers from other clans started to make a commotion, apparently feeling that Yang Chen’s proposal was a great boost to the atmosphere.
Yang Chen wasn’t surprised by this. In his previous life, the price for his alchemy was astronomical. In this life, Yang Chen didn’t set such high conditions, but without a little extra, it wouldn’t spark his interest.
However, his way of thinking was seen as a lowly trick to attract attention by the Wang family members.
Wang Ren didn’t hesitate to ridicule: ‘Yang Chen, is it because you didn’t lose your open-crotch pants last time and are now feeling uncomfortable? This time you want to lose them too, hahaha! Honestly, Yang Chen, I never thought you’d have the guts to bring up the idea of a wager.”
The Wang family members burst into laughter upon hearing this.
Clearly, they all believed Wang Ren wouldn’t lose.
Yang Chen folded his arms behind him: “Wang Ren, it seems that Yi Ming wasn’t wrong when he said you have a foul mouth. Instead of wasting time here, it would be more practical to see the real deal in action. Or are you not brave enough to add more to the wager?”
How could Wang Ren tolerate someone saying he didn’t have the guts? He sneered: “Daring? What a joke, Yang Chen. If you want to have a wager, I don’t mind adding more stakes. I just don’t know what you intend to put up?” “If I lose, five thousand spirit stones!” Yang Chen stretched out five fingers.
Upon hearing this, everyone inhaled a sharp breath of cold air.
Five thousand spirit stones.
“Has Yang Chen gone crazy?
“Five thousand spirit stones!”
“Even the Yang Family Patriarch would cry if he had to take out five thousand spirit stones.”
“Yang Chen is too young and arrogant. Five thousand spirit stones are not a small amount. It’s a truly astronomical price.”
Even Elder Yang couldn’t maintain his composure.
In his heart, he also didn’t think that Yang Chen had much hope of winning, but since Yang Chen was determined to come here, he couldn’t do anything about it. Besides, life always has its ups and downs, Yang Chen lost last time and became discouraged, but this sparked some power within him.
So, he wasn’t afraid of Yang Chen losing.
However, Yang Chen was playing too big.
Five thousand spirit stones were an astronomical number, even enough to make the Yang family frown.
“Yang Chen, do you…” Elder Yang looked at Yang Chen, unsure whether to laugh or cry: “Do you have that many spirit stones?” Yang Chen shook his head.
He indeed didn’t have that many spirit stones.
The reason he dared to say this was that he never thought he would lose.
“You…”
Elder Yang sighed, “Young and reckless, young and reckless. Never mind, a true man’s word is as good as his bond; there’s no reason to back down because of the number of sDirit stones. Go all out in the match. If vou reallv lose. I will come up with those five thousand spirit stones, even if it means putting my fortune on the line!”
Yang Chen hadn’t thought that far, but after hearing Elder Yang’s words, he was genuinely taken aback.
It seemed that Elder Yang really valued him and was even willing to dip into his own pockets to avoid affecting his competition.
That’s five thousand spirit stones, something even Elder Yang couldn’t easily afford.Yang Chen knew that at this point, words meant nothing, and only victory could repay Second Master Yang’s great kindness to him. He took a deep breath: “Second Master, Yang Chen will do his utmost.”
“Five thousand spirit stones…” Wang Ren snapped back to reality, but quickly burst into laughter: “Yang Chen, you just sent me the Purple Elegance Dan Furnace, and now you’re going to send me five thousand spirit stones. You are my lucky star! All right, enough with the idle talk, let’s start the competition.”
“Wait a moment,” said Yang Chen.
“What, are you going to back out?” Wang Ren narrowed his eyes. Yang Chen slowly stated, “You haven’t said what you will give me if you lose.”
“Hahaha, what a joke! How could I lose?” Wang Ren laughed arrogantly. “However, according to the rules, I should still give you something to hope for.
What do you want?”
“It is quite simple. If you lose, three thousand spirit stones, plus the Purple Elegance Dan Furnace,” Yang Chen replied with his hands behind his back, appearing calm and composed.
“Ah, so you’ve been thinking about the Purple Elegance Dan Furnace from the beginning. Fine, no problem. If I lose, three thousand spirit stones plus the Purple Elegance Dan Furnace,” Wang Ren agreed.
“Now, can the competition begin?” Wang Yong’s mouth also curled up into a delighted smile. Yang Chen was simply a lucky star for their Wang family, delivering spirit stones to them just like that. How could he not be happy? With so many people here today, even the Yang family couldn’t cheat their way out.
Elder Yang didn’t rush to answer, but instead asked Yang Chen, “How confident are you in winning?”
“Sixty percent!” Yang Chen didn’t commit too strongly.
“Wang Ren has recently refined the Essence Rising Pill. He has already reached the level of a Perfect First-Rank Alchemist. I guess he will most likely choose to refine the ‘Essence Rising Pill’ today, which is an exclusive elixir of the Wang family. In comparison, you can only refine the Clear Flame Pill.”
Elder Yang advised, “The Clear Flame Pill is just a first-grade high-level elixir, and it’s still a bit worse than the Essence Rising Pill. The key lies in the quantity. If you can only refine one, you lose; if you can refine two, it’s a draw.
In any case, you must refine at least two!”
This was also the problem Yang Chen faced at the moment.
Because, he could only refine the ‘Clear Flame Pill’.
With Yang Chen’s alchemy skills back then, it was naturally impossible for him to only be able to refine just one Clear Flame Pill. The number of elixirs he had refined was beyond his own counting. However, times have changed, and if he were to refine other elixirs now, how would he explain it?
Of course, these problems were not considered major challenges for Yang Chen, and even if he could only refine the Clear Flame Pill, he was completely confident that he could win.
Similar to Yang Chen’s side, Wang Yong also advised Wang Ren: “According to my investigation, Yang Chen is only capable of refining a ‘Clear Flame Pill.’ So, Wang Ren, as long as you perform normally and refine the ‘Essence Rising Pill,’ victory is assured. By then, the five thousand spirit stones will be all yours. The Wang family won’t interfere. ”
Upon hearing this, Wang Rents heart was filled with joy: “Thank you, Uncle
Wang, for the guidance. I am sure to win this competition.”
“Alright, let’s begin.” Elder Yang said with his hands behind his back.
Yang Chen and Wang Ren stepped forward at the same time.
Just as Yang Chen was about to summon his pill furnace, a sudden voice caught his attention.
“Yang Chen, look this way, I’m over here!” In the crowd, a dazzling figure was very eye-catching. She wore a green dress with a lace pattern, a white waistband tied around her waist, and her colorful attire stood out along with her long hair draped over her shoulder and the star-like sparkle in her eyes. Looking at her, people couldn’t help feeling joyful, as if they were watching an elf dancing in the snow.
“Miss Feng?” Yang Chen was startled, quite unexpectedly.
Feng Xuewu appeared at some unknown point, and as a low-key person, she had not attracted much attention. However, just by calling out like that, she instantly became the focus of the crowd. “It’s Feng Xuewu.”
“Why did the Miss Feng Family come?”
“I didn’t expect that she would be attracted to even a competition like this. But isn’t Feng Xuewu usually not fond of bustling events?”
“Didn’t you see? Feng Xuewu seems to know Yang Chen, and by the looks of it, they have a pretty close relationship. Yang Chen must be really fortunate to even know Feng Xuewu. This is going to be fun. If Yang Chen loses today, won’t it be a total disgrace?”
“Hehe, biting off more than he can chew!”
Feng Xuewu didn’t pay attention to the whispers around her.. She clenched her small fists and said with a bright smile, “Yang Chen, come on, your sister’s here to cheer you on!”
