C1579 Extract the Golden Scale Peach
As a matter of fact, Shoutan also felt a little uneasy in his heart. After following Immortal Xuanhu for so many years, how could he not know what Immortal Xuanhu was worried about?
He never thought that things would turn out like this in the end. All along, the alchemists of Elixir Association had always respected him, an elder who held a high position in the Elixir Association. It could even be said that they respected him. However, what he didn't expect was that he would meet a fellow like Yang Xuan who didn't follow common sense.
And what made him gnash his teeth the most was that Ling Ji actually stood on Yang Xuan's side. This made him somewhat hesitant to take action.
Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, Shoutan only thought of this method. He could use this method to ruin Yang Xuan's reputation and take revenge on him. However, at that time, Shoutan had already lost his mind due to anger. That was why he had made such a foolish move. Although he had expected Yang Xuan to react, he didn't expect it to be so intense. It had directly reached Immortal Xuanhu.
Immortal Xuanhu was a man who couldn't tolerate any sand in his eyes. If he admitted that he was only targeting Yang Xuan because of hatred, after that, Immortal Xuanhu would definitely scold Shoutan harshly, and perhaps even weaken Shoutan's power.
The only way now was to make Yang Xuan lose in the bet later on. Only by doing so would he be able to escape unscathed. As for Yang Xuan's outcome, Shoutan had already thought it through. After Yang Xuan lost the bet, he would express his apology to Yang Xuan. Wouldn't it be great if he could gain a generous reputation for himself?
This matter had spread in Elixir Association all of a sudden. Shoutan wanted to make a bet with someone else. It had aroused the interest of many people. One had to admit that this old man was not very popular in the Elixir Association. Most of the people who came to watch the bet hoped that Shoutan would lose in the bet.
Because of this, Shoutan specially prepared a five thousand year Golden Scale Peach. As the Golden Scale Peach grew older, its outer skin would become harder and harder, and it would become extremely difficult to refine it.
When Yang Xuan saw this Golden Scale Peach, his lips couldn't help but twitch. It wasn't just Yang Xuan, the surrounding people were also secretly cursing Shoutan.
"Why? Do you think you can't do it? In that case, just admit it. I can let bygones be bygones." Shoutan said to Yang Xuan with a righteous expression.
Right at this moment, Ling Ji pointed at Shoutan's nose and said, "Shoutan, don't you feel ashamed?"
Shoutan twitched his mouth but didn't say anything. The reason why he dared to show off in front of Yang Xuan was because Yang Xuan wasn't a disciple of Elixir Association. Therefore, he wasn't afraid of him. However, Ling Ji was different. Everyone knew that... Ling Ji was Immortal Xuanhu's only disciple. So to some extent, her attitude represented Immortal Xuanhu's attitude.
Ling Ji saw that Shoutan didn't say anything, so she leapt onto the stage. She handed her snow-white medicinal cauldron to Yang Xuan and said, "Give it to him. We can't accept his grievance."
Shoutan's expression became a little gloomy. A good medicinal cauldron would greatly increase the ability of an alchemist. If Yang Xuan used a medicinal cauldron, the chances of him losing would be much higher.
However, he did not dare to refute. He could only silently pray in his heart that Yang Xuan would definitely fail.
At this moment, Yang Xuan did something that caused an uproar. He waved his hand and said to Ling Ji, "There's no need. I have my own medicinal cauldron too."
Ling Ji stared at Yang Xuan's eyes for a long time. Her beautiful eyes flickered with a puzzled light. After a long while, she sighed and said, "Alright, then you have to work hard."
Yang Xuan nodded and Ling Ji also left the tall platform.
Everyone's eyes fell upon Yang Xuan because he was the one who decided the outcome of the bet.
As for Yang Xuan?
He slowly took out the cooked metal medicinal cauldron that he had taken part in the Love Test earlier. There were traces of wear and tear on the medicinal cauldron. There was not even any makeup on the surface. There were only a few heat rising and cooling formations.
Ling Ji was so angry that she spat out blood on the spot when she saw Yang Xuan take out this medicinal cauldron. He originally thought that Yang Xuan was hiding his strength when he participated in the test earlier. Actually, he had an even better medicinal cauldron.
However, he did not expect that Yang Xuan would actually be so honest as to directly take out this lousy medicinal cauldron.
Recalling the expression when Yang Xuan rejected him earlier, a thought immediately arose in Ling Ji's heart. Was it because this fool was actually dissatisfied with her that he rejected her?
However, when she saw Yang Xuan's calm expression, Ling Ji could only dispel this thought in her heart. She only thought that it was Yang Xuan who was very confident in her that he rejected her.
On the other side, Yang Xuan had already thrown the Golden Scale Peach into the medicinal cauldron. Flames rose and wrapped around the Golden Scale Peach.
Yang Xuan could not help but frown slightly. The skin of the Golden Scale Peach was very hard. It would take a very long time to refine it. Furthermore, the Golden Scale Peach that Shoutan prepared for him was a medicinal herb that was five thousand years old. Naturally, it was even harder to refine.
When Shoutan was about to give up, Yang Xuan could not help but feel some regret. Refining this Golden Scale Peach was not a very difficult thing for Yang Xuan, but he had to purify it. It was quite difficult. Even though Yang Xuan's alchemy skill was inherited from the Spring God, this medicinal cauldron of his was still the most ordinary medicinal cauldron. How could it withstand the torment?
What Yang Xuan was worried about was whether this medicinal cauldron would explode in a while.
The surface of the Golden Scale Peach began to melt. This layer of golden skin that was like a dragon scale was actually a unique kind of metal. After the refinement ended, it could be used to forge other things.
The surface of the ___ gradually turned into a golden liquid. Drops of it fell to the bottom of the medicinal cauldron and scattered. Yang Xuan's eyes stared intently at the Golden Scale Peach as well as the medicinal cauldron that contained the Golden Scale Peach.0
The medicinal cauldron's stage had actually become completely red, causing Lingji, who was standing below the stage, to immediately become somewhat worried.
When Shoutan by the side saw this manner, he sighed in relief in his heart. He had already thought of how he was going to pretend to be righteous and righteous later. It would be best if he could earn another reputation when he was fully recovered. He could also make Yang Xuan speechless after the matter.
The flames in the medicinal cauldron began to pulsate, becoming a little unstable. Veins popped out on Yang Xuan's hands. He did his best to control the temperature of the flame, trying his best not to cause the temperature to fluctuate too much.
Although this kind of leap would not have any effect when refining the outer skin of the Golden Scale Peach, if the flame suddenly throbbed during the refinement of the peach heart later, the entire Golden Scale Peach would be directly destroyed.
Yang Xuan's breathing became heavier and heavier. Unknowingly, most of the outer skin of the Golden Scale Peach had fallen off. One could see the pale yellow flesh inside. The flame was still beating from time to time, affecting the hearts of everyone present.
