#242 - Do you all like to gamble with me?
Yu Linglong chose to ignore Liang Jin after hearing his words.
She was now eager for a major problem to occur at the Transforming Dragon Gate, so how could she allow Liang Jin to offer any more advice?
She said blandly:
"This matter will still require Elder Qingnang and Baihua Hall to think of a solution."
"The matter of the Dragon Scale Pill must be handled by someone skilled in alchemy."
The elders nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
Entrusting professional matters to professionals was perfectly reasonable.
But at this moment.
Li Xueqing suddenly spoke up:
"Sect Leader, since this Xiong Ba just said he has a solution, why not let Xiong Ba handle it?"
"I see that this Xiong Ba is full of confidence, and I'm afraid he must already have a brilliant plan to solve this problem."
Li Xueqing seized this opportunity to make things difficult for Liang Jin.
She had also heard about the growth habits of the Zizhi Heart.
This medicinal material was only abundant in Dongzhou, and it was extremely difficult to preserve. Once the harvesting season was over, it was simply impossible to find it on the market.
Even if purchased from other states, its production would be difficult to meet the needs of the Transforming Dragon Gate.
And after Wang Xu and the other two corrupt officials embezzled the medicinal materials, they would inevitably liquidate them. Even if they could be recovered at this time, they would have already passed the expiration date of the Zizhi Heart.
It could be said that it was too late no matter what method was used.
Li Xueqing didn't believe that Liang Jin really had any means, so she deliberately praised Liang Jin.
The higher she lifted him, the more miserable he would fall when he fell.
On the throne.
A look of displeasure flashed across Yu Linglong's beautiful eyes.
She had finally managed to ignore Liang Jin's words, so why did this Li Xueqing bring him up again?
Yu Linglong was about to change the subject.
But it was too late.
Elder Qingnang looked at Liang Jin in confusion:
"Xiong Ba, do you understand the art of Qihuang alchemy?"
Liang Jin shook his head:
"Disciple doesn't understand."
Everyone was puzzled. If he didn't understand, then what kind of plan was he offering?
But everyone still held out hope.
After all, Liang Jin had played a major role in the previous incident of the Divine Dragon's illness.
Elder Qingnang then asked:
"May I ask Xiong Ba, what method do you have to obtain a large amount of Zizhi Heart?"
Liang Jin shook his head:
"I have no way to obtain Zizhi Heart."
"However, I know of something that can replace Zizhi Heart."
Everyone looked at Liang Jin in unison upon hearing this.
"What is it?!"
Elder Qingnang was the first to ask.
Liang Jin replied:
"A mushroom called 'Lace Umbrella'."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked confused.
Obviously, they didn't know what the mushroom called Lace Umbrella actually was?
Only Elder Qingnang, who was proficient in the art of Qihuang, had a very ugly expression on his face upon hearing this.
He even suspected that he had misheard, and asked again:
"What you just said, is it Lace Umbrella?"
Liang Jin nodded:
"That's right, it's a mushroom called Lace Umbrella."
Elder Qingnang snorted coldly and waved his sleeves angrily:
"Absurd!"
Li Xueqing seemed to have smelled an opportunity, and she hurriedly asked:
"Elder Qingnang, what exactly is that Lace Umbrella?"
Everyone was also very curious.
They also wanted to know what exactly could make Elder Qingnang change his expression so drastically.
Elder Qingnang replied:
"If Zizhi Heart is a rare medicinal material with low yield and extremely strong medicinal properties."
"Then this Lace Umbrella is a mushroom that can be seen everywhere in Dongzhou. It is simply worthless, and no one wants it even if it is given away for free."
"Because this mushroom is numerous, it not only has no medicinal properties, but also has toxicity, and neither humans nor animals can eat it."
Everyone suddenly understood upon hearing this.
No wonder Elder Qingnang was angry, it turned out that this was the reason.
The medicinal materials required for refining the Dragon Scale Pill, no matter which medicinal material it is, are precious medicinal materials, in order to ensure the powerful effect of the pill.
At this time, Liang Jin actually suggested using a worthless and toxic medicinal material to replace Zizhi Heart. Isn't this deliberately making trouble?
Everyone shook their heads. They didn't blame Liang Jin for not understanding the industry, but if he didn't understand the industry, he shouldn't talk nonsense in front of professionals, okay?
Elder Qingnang glanced at Liang Jin and said disdainfully:
"The pill formula of the Dragon Scale Pill is the result of continuous research and improvement by the past Qingnang elders of the Transforming Dragon Gate, and finally formed a perfect pill formula."
"If there is anyone in this world who can add or subtract a word to this pill formula, I am willing to take him as my teacher!"
"This kind of pill formula is not something that anyone can tamper with!"
Li Xueqing would naturally not miss this opportunity to kick someone when they were down.
She immediately echoed with sarcasm:
"Elder Qingnang's Qihuang alchemy can be said to be unmatched in the entire world."
"It's a pity that some people are always ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, and talk nonsense!"
"It will only make people laugh and add to the joke!"
Liang Jin just shrugged slightly in the face of everyone's ridicule.
But this Li Xueqing deliberately made trouble again and again, and Liang Jin would not indulge her.
Immediately, Liang Jin said blandly:
"Elder Li, would you dare to bet with me again?"
Liang Jin repeated his old trick.
Although the routine was old, it would work as long as it was effective.
Li Xueqing's expression changed again upon hearing this.
She had already rejected Liang Jin's bet once today. If she continued to reject it, then she would probably suffer Liang Jin's humiliation again.
This made Li Xueqing grit her teeth:
"Why wouldn't I dare?!"
Her confidence came from her confidence in the medical skills of the past Qingnang elders of the Transforming Dragon Gate!
She really didn't believe that a young boy like Liang Jin could compare to the medical skill accumulation of several generations of divine doctors.
What Liang Jin wanted was this sentence from Li Xueqing. He immediately said:
"If Lace Umbrella cannot replace Zizhi Heart to refine the Dragon Scale Pill."
“I, Xiongba, will cripple my own martial arts, leave the sect, and never appear before Elder Li again in this lifetime.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Is this guy really going to bet so heavily?
Liang Jin, of course, wanted to bet this heavily.
Wasn't Li Xueqing trying to put him on the spot?
Then he would use a big bet to put Li Xueqing on the spot as well, and see if she dared to accept the challenge.
As expected.
Li Xueqing's face became very ugly.
She gritted her teeth and said:
“I cannot cripple my own martial arts, nor can I leave the sect. I still have to assist the sect leader in completing the great cause. This is the mission given to me by my ancestors.”
“Xiongba, besides these two points, I can bet with you on anything else!”
The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!
Liang Jin sneered. He knew that Li Xueqing wouldn't dare to bet as ruthlessly as he did.
His sneer seemed to stimulate Li Xueqing.
Immediately, Li Xueqing gritted her teeth and said:
“Xiongba! What are you laughing at?”
“Are you looking down on me for not having a stake?”
“Then I'll tell you, I have a treasure called the Thousand Dragon Divine Whip!”
“I'll use this Thousand Dragon Divine Whip as a stake!”
As she spoke, Li Xueqing took a whip from her waist and held it in her hand.
The whip seemed to be made of snake skin, faintly glowing with seven colors, and looked extraordinary.
When the elders heard this, they couldn't help but be shocked.
This Thousand Dragon Divine Whip was a divine weapon painstakingly crafted by many weapon masters and poison refining experts of the Dragon Transformation Sect over several generations.
This whip, combined with Li Xueqing's soft weapon skills and poison techniques, could maximize its power.
Now that Li Xueqing was willing to take out her natal divine weapon as a bet, it could be seen that she was indeed stimulated.
Although Liang Jin didn't know what this Thousand Dragon Divine Whip was.
But seeing the surprise of everyone around him, he knew that it must be a good treasure.
Immediately, Liang Jin replied:
“Okay! I'll bet with you!”
“Please, elders and sect leader, witness this bet together!”
The elders coughed incessantly.
They really didn't want to participate in this situation.
But only Elder Qingnang stood up and said:
“If you want to bet, count me in.”
“I really don't believe that anyone in this world can modify the Dragon Scale Pill's formula.”
“I have a Scarlet Blood Body Refining Pill here, the only one in the world. After taking it, the physical body can be greatly enhanced, as if cast in copper and iron, invulnerable to knives and axes.”
“If this pill is combined with your 《Hundred Evils Body Refining Art》, it will make your physical body strong to a terrifying degree.”
“Xiongba, are you willing to bet with me?”
“I don't want you to cripple your martial arts and leave the sect either. I just want you to take out something of equal value.”
As soon as these words came out, the audience was shocked again.
Scarlet Blood Body Refining Pill!
This kind of pill was a divine pill that the Dragon Transformation Sect brought out from the Great Yu Imperial Palace back then.
This pill is only passed down to successive Elder Qingnang. Now, no one is willing to eat it, because once this unique divine pill is eaten, there will be no more.
And now, Elder Qingnang is willing to take it out, which shows its importance.
When Liang Jin saw this, his eyes couldn't help but light up.
If this Scarlet Blood Body Refining Pill is really as Elder Qingnang said, then it is really what Liang Jin needs.
The biggest weakness of 《Overlord Disarming Armor》 is that it leads to extremely low defense. Liang Jin has to rely on 《Hundred Evils Body Refining Art》 to make up for it to a certain extent.
And if he can get this pill, then Liang Jin's defense will definitely be stronger.
Immediately, Liang Jin said:
“I have something. I wonder if Elder Qingnang can fancy it?”
As he spoke, Liang Jin took out something like a blue jade stone from his arms.
It was the Soul Jade!
At the moment of seeing the Soul Jade, everyone present was slightly surprised.
They were not surprised by the Soul Jade.
There are also Soul Jades in the Dragon Transformation Sect.
What surprised them was that Liang Jin could actually take out this kind of thing.
Elder Qingnang shook his head slightly:
“A piece of blue Soul Jade is not too rare, and it is not enough to bet against my Scarlet Blood Body Refining Pill.”
“Xiongba, I'm afraid you have to add some more prizes.”
Liang Jin was surprised this time.
This Soul Jade is the family heirloom of the number one master in Dongzhou, and it is extremely precious.
But in the mouth of the elder of the Dragon Transformation Sect, this thing is not too rare.
This Dragon Transformation Sect is really rich!
Even the blue Soul Jade is not attractive?
But it also shows how precious this Scarlet Blood Body Refining Pill that Elder Qingnang took out is.
Immediately, Liang Jin thought for a while, and then took out a piece of white ointment from his arms.
He held up the ointment and said:
“I have something called the Cold Jade Ice Toad Ointment, it can—”
Liang Jin hadn't finished speaking.
Suddenly, a figure flashed in front of him.
“Whoosh!”
Along with a gust of wind, the Cold Jade Ice Toad Ointment in Liang Jin's hand had been snatched away.
And the person who snatched the medicine was actually Elder Qingnang.
Elder Qingnang was holding the Cold Jade Ice Toad Ointment in his hands, observing it carefully, and then smelled it. He even wanted to stick out his tongue and lick it, until Liang Jin hummed, he stopped his tasting action.
Afterwards, Elder Qingnang said solemnly:
“If I guessed correctly, this must be a magical healing medicine!”
“The materials used in it are something I have never seen in my life, and there are no related records even in the Dragon Transformation Sect's classics.”
“Strange thing, this is definitely a rare strange thing in the world!”
“Xiongba, I don't want your Soul Jade anymore, I just want this… Cold Jade Ice Toad Ointment! Yes, let's use it as a stake!”
