Free Web NovelChapter 1981: Chapter 1970: Aggressive Pressuring
"Impossible! If this child is human and not an animal, how could he be your servant?"
"Moreover, he only inadvertently offended you. Why are you being so aggressive?"
Just as everyone was worried that the gray-robed elder would agree to Xiao Lan’er’s request, the gray-robed elder suddenly said something.
With this remark, the entire audience was moved.
From the situation just now, many people could see that Xiao Lan’er knew the gray-robed elder and they had a good relationship.
As for the young man in white, like the others, it was his first time coming to the Golden Palace, and he had no support.
But now, the gray-robed elder suddenly spoke up for the young man in white. How could this not surprise people?
"Grandpa Lu, what happened to you?" You’re starting to speak on this child’s behalf."
Xiao Lan’er looked at the gray-robed elder’s appearance.
The gray-robed elder smiled bitterly and immediately explained, "I’m not speaking for him, but I stated a fact."
"Ever since we met, this is fate. Miss Lan’er, why are you giving this boy a hard time?"
Seeing the gray-robed elder repeatedly stand on Ao Cangsheng’s side, Xiao Lan’er immediately felt more hatred.
"Grandpa Lu, are you willing to help me?"
Xiao Lan’er took a deep breath and looked at the gray-robed elder with resentment.
The gray-robed elder listened and understood that Xiao Lan’er was angry with him. He smiled bitterly and said, "Lan’er, you’d better go back. If you ask Grandpa Lu to do something else for you, Grandpa Lu would have nothing to say."
"But if you want Grandpa Lu to break the rules of the Golden Core Hospital for you, that’s a bit difficult for Grandpa Lu."
"Fine! Since Grandpa Lu said so, I’ll abide by the rules of the Golden Core Hospital."
"Rules?"
Seeing Xiao Lan’er’s actions, the other examiners were suddenly taken aback.
When they first came to the Golden Core Hospital, they were unfamiliar with its rules.
For a moment, everyone looked at each other, not knowing what the Xiao family intended to do.
"I want to challenge you.
Only if Ao Kangsheng won would she not bother Ao Kangsheng. Otherwise, it would definitely make Ao Cangsheng look good.
Like Xiao Lan’er, such a tyrannical child, deeply hated Ao Cangsheng.
However, because Xiao Lan’er was a girl, Ao Sheng didn’t care about her.
Now that they have succeeded, it’s their time to compete.
Just like that, the other examiners stopped submitting the Immortality Elixir and stepped aside to watch Ao Cangsheng and Xiao Lan’er’s showdown.
Under the arrangement of the gray-robed elder, they quickly appeared in front of two furnaces.
"In this competition, as long as the Immortality Elixir you refine has a higher level, then whoever wins or loses."
The gray-robed elder looked at Ao Kangsheng and Xiao Lan’er and solemnly announced.
Upon hearing this, Ao Cangsheng couldn’t help but look up at the elderly man with white hair.
From the gray-robed elder’s words, Ao Cangsheng did not need to hear any smooth talk.
Previously, Xiao Lan’er made the Eighth Layer pill. If you talk about elixir levels, it was two levels higher than Ao Kangsheng.
However, everyone knew that although Xiao Lan’er’s Immortality Elixir had a high level, it was not as valuable as Ao Cangsheng’s Immortality Elixir.
Now, however, the gray-robed elder said the competition only compares elixir levels.
This statement actually weakened Ao Chuangsheng’s competitive edge.
If Ao Cangsheng can’t make a high-level pill, even if he can make a very low-level pill, he will still lose.
Of course, the reason the gray-robed elder made such rules was not to trouble Ao Kangsheng.
He just wanted to see if, under his pressure, Ao Kangsheng could make a more advanced Immortality Elixir.
With the regulations announced, Ao Cangsheng and Xiao Lan’er simultaneously began to cultivate the Immortality Elixir.
As before, Xiao Lan’er couldn’t wait to start the competition.
However, Ao Kangsheng started warming the furnace, then began refining pills as smooth as water.
Watching their every move, many couldn’t help but sigh at Ao Cangsheng.
Because when Ao Cangsheng was warming the furnace, Xiao Lan’er was already smelting.
From this angle, Xiao Lan’er’s speed in alchemy was much faster than Ao Cangsheng.
Besides, Xiao Lan’er was an amazing person. Many alchemists taught him before.
In alchemy techniques and skills, many were optimistic about Xiao Lan’er.
Under the red furnace, blue and purple flames were burning.
In the pill furnace, Ao Cangsheng’s materials seemed just put in, while Xiao Lan’er had already been refining for a quarter hour.
As the alchemy materials continuously rolled and changed, a whiff of fragrance began to float from the furnace.
At this time, nearly everyone’s gaze turned to Xiao Lan’er.
Because Xiao Lan’er used extremely fast techniques to control the gradually forming pill and fire.
As for Ao Kangsheng, although his techniques were elegant and flexible, they were far less agile and nimble than Xiao Lan’er.
But even so, as an arbiter, the gray-robed elder always used Ao Cangsheng’s alchemy techniques instead of watching Xiao Lan’er flaunt his flamboyant clothes and embroidered legs.
Watching the aroma quickly fade, Xiao Lan’er heard a "whoosh" and extinguished the fire fiercely.
After a while, the fire was out, and a blue pill suddenly appeared in her furnace.
"Whoosh!—"
Seeing the nearly perfect pill, Xiao Lan’er finally sighed proudly.
She was thrilled she had performed exceptionally in alchemy.
In her view, this time’s pill was more refined than last time and should be better.
Xiao Lan’er smirked smugly, glanced contemptuously at Ao Kangsheng, turned the Immortality Elixir, and walked up to the gray-robed elder.
"Grandpa Lu, my pill is ready. Please help me take a look."
Xiao Lan’er proudly lifted her neck, said coldly.
Hearing this, the gray-robed elder suddenly regained his senses. Looking up, it turned out Xiao Lan’er had come over ages ago.
Fortunately, Ao Cangsheng had also extinguished his fire. The gray-robed elder still looked backward.
The gray-robed elder picked up the blue pill, scrutinized it for a while, then said, "Hmm, yes, very good! You made the Ninth Layer pill this time, which really surprised me!"
When Xiao Lan’er heard these words, her eyes were once again filled with excitement and satisfaction.
3. It seems the result turned out as she expected. This time, she indeed played well.
Just as Xiao Lan’er inwardly beat herself, Ao Cangsheng also swallowed a pill and slowly walked up to the gray-robed elder.
Four eyes met, Ao Cangsheng’s gaze was indifferent, while Xiao Lan’er’s gaze suddenly filled with hatred.
"Elder, this is the pill I made. Please take a look."
She didn’t believe the person in white could make a pill.
"How could it be? How could it be?"
Xiao Lan’er’s face truly looked incredulous, as she constantly muttered.
"Grandpa Lu, did you make a mistake? Can you really make a pill?"
"I think you’d better take a good look and don’t be deceived by this bad child!"
When Xiao Lan’er thought she would be defeated by Ao Cangsheng before so many people, she couldn’t help but get startled.
"No need to read it. I just looked eight times. The Immortality Elixir that boy refined is indeed a Floating Cloud Elixir. Although I’m old, I’m not that old!"
The gray-robed elder glared angrily at Xiao Lan’er.
In fact, it wasn’t because of Xiao Lan’er’s words that the gray-robed elder was angry, but rather because of the pill’s insufficiency.
"Swish—"
In no time, all the examiners looked at Xiao Lan’er.
