Chapter 97

"Hehe, Elder Dan, you're quite honest! I thought you would deliberately make things difficult for me," Shen Xiang sighed in relief, then took out six jade boxes, each containing a hundred True Qi Pills.

The courtyard became very quiet, and everyone could hardly believe that Shen Xiang had managed to refine six hundred True Qi Pills in just ten days.

Now, everyone was looking at Elder Dan with suspicious eyes, suspecting that she had helped Shen Xiang cheat. But upon reflection, they thought it impossible because Elder Dan hated Shen Xiang.

At this moment, Elder Dan took out seven more jade boxes. These were the True Qi Pills she had kept for Shen Xiang earlier. She opened them and had everyone verify them one by one.

"Although I don't want to see this result, Shen Xiang did indeed refine six hundred True Qi Pills in ten days, using a hundred sets of materials!" Elder Dan's words made everyone shudder.

A hundred sets of materials! That meant Shen Xiang could refine six pills in one furnace!

"Monstrous!" Zhu Rong spat out these two words, and Yun Xiaodao's mouth twitched. He never thought his good friend could be so extraordinary.

Yaohai Sheng's teeth were chattering, his eyes wide open, staring at the True Qi Pills on the ground. Any alchemist could tell that these were refined in a short time, and one box was still emitting heat, indicating they were refined in the last two days!

Yaohai Sheng and the other alchemists could confirm that the six boxes Shen Xiang took out were all refined in a short time, and they were of the highest quality!

Elder Dan said coldly, "Now you believe it, right! We have to admit that this guy's alchemy skills are very high. Even I can't do this. Each of his six hundred True Qi Pills is of the highest quality, refined in a short time, and six at a time!"

Yaohai Sheng's body was trembling, his eyes bloodshot. He felt like dying, but he had to admire Shen Xiang because even Elder Dan admitted defeat. What could he do?

With a swish, Yaohai Sheng knelt down and bowed to Shen Xiang, his voice trembling, "Master, please accept your disciple's bow!"

Yaohai Sheng's bow made many alchemists almost lose their balance. They wanted to slap themselves to see if they were dreaming!

A True Martial Realm alchemist bowing to a Ninth Rank Martial Realm youth as a master was a huge joke, the biggest joke in the history of the Great Martial Sect, the most absurd thing.

Shen Xiang was also stunned. He didn't expect Yaohai Sheng to bow to him so readily. This was because Elder Dan and the other alchemists were present, and Yaohai Sheng couldn't lose face, or he would be disgraced, which would be worse than death for him!

Yun Xiaodao pinched Zhu Rong's fat hand hard, making him cry out in pain.

"Haha... Not a dream, Brother Shen has won!" Yun Xiaodao laughed, and Zhu Rong took a deep breath, accepting this absurd fact.

"Hehe, disciple, please rise!" Shen Xiang chuckled and helped Yaohai Sheng up.

Yaohai Sheng's sorrow was indescribable. He never thought he would bow to the person he hated the most, which might make him lose face forever.

"This is a small gift for you!" Shen Xiang actually gave Yaohai Sheng a hundred True Qi Pills and a Qingxuan Fruit!

This action stunned everyone, their eyes fixed on the Qingxuan Fruit! Most of the people here were alchemists, and who didn't recognize the rare Qingxuan Fruit?

A small gift? The Qingxuan Fruit was a small gift? This was simply a slap in the face!

Yaohai Sheng's hands trembled as he accepted Shen Xiang's "small gift." He was very upset at first, but now he felt much better. At least being Shen Xiang's disciple wasn't that bad. He wasn't stupid; he knew Shen Xiang was trying to resolve their enmity!

"Thank you... Master!" Yaohai Sheng said awkwardly.

"Shen Xiang, this is the reward for first place! Come to the Great Alchemy Academy at dawn tomorrow. If you're late, be prepared for punishment!" Elder Dan threw a small jade box to Shen Xiang and then went to collect the refined True Qi Pills from the alchemists.

"Elder Dan, can I not enter the Great Alchemy Academy?" Shen Xiang was worried about being oppressed by this unpredictable Elder Dan, which would make his life miserable.

"No! This is our agreement. If you want to break it, leave the Great Martial Sect immediately!" Elder Dan snorted.

Shen Xiang sighed bitterly. He suddenly felt that the bet with Elder Dan hadn't brought him any benefits.

"Yaohai Sheng, although I am your master, the best I can refine now is the True Qi Pill. In the future, I might have to learn from you. You don't have to call me master; just call my name. When you truly believe I am worthy of being your master, you can call me then," Shen Xiang said. He felt a bit uncomfortable with Yaohai Sheng calling him master all the time, and so did Yaohai Sheng.

Yaohai Sheng was grateful for this. He knew he couldn't oppose Shen Xiang anymore, or the consequences would be severe.

Even before Shen Xiang entered the inner sect, his reputation had spread throughout the Great Martial Sect. Now, not only did he win the alchemy competition, but he also took a True Martial Realm alchemist as a disciple and entered the Great Alchemy Academy, making him even more famous!

Shen Xiang and Yun Xiaodao returned to the Martial Academy. On the way, Yun Xiaodao laughed, "Brother Shen, didn't I tell you I have a few very pretty sisters?"

Shen Xiang nodded, "Yes, and you said they wouldn't look at a waste like me."

"Not at all, that was a joke. How about this, I'll arrange for them to meet you. You're single now, so why not settle down?" Yun Xiaodao chuckled, thinking it would be great to have a promising brother-in-law.

"Cut it out, my fiancée is Xue Xianxian! Your sisters would have to get her approval to marry me!" Shen Xiang said, pouting. He just wanted to enter the True Martial Realm as soon as possible to find Xue Xianxian.

"Brother-in-law, don't be like that! My sisters may not have Xue Xianxian's talent, but they are very beautiful," Yun Xiaodao actually called him brother-in-law!

Zhu Rong couldn't stand it and kicked Yun Xiaodao away, "Get lost! Your sisters are all proud women; Brother Shen wouldn't like them."

"Brother Shen, I have a sister with good talent! She's much prettier than those fake prudes in Xiaodao's family," Zhu Rong's chubby face was full of smiles, "My dear brother-in-law, when will you visit the Zhu family?"

"Fat pig, I want to duel you!" Yun Xiaodao said angrily.

Seeing Yun Xiaodao and Zhu Rong like this, Shen Xiang secretly thought their sisters wouldn't be much better, especially Zhu Rong's sister, who might be as heavy as him!
