MEIWITA Chapter 694: Bets

The Alchemy Pagoda’s third match was actually the key to deciding the finals, so the number of people watching the competition today doubled.

The entire viewing stand was filled with people, and many people who stood at the back that weren’t able to obtain seats stretched their necks to look down.

When Lou Mu Yan entered the competition stage, she received mixed looks from other competitors. Some of them treated her with a friendly attitude gestures of wanting to become friends.

With a faint smile on her face, she possessed the same attitude towards everyone.

Soon, the judge appeared on the field.

As soon as he appeared, the entire competition field instantly fell silent, and the soundproof and aura-proof cover was activated.

“Today is the last match of the alchemy competition that occurs once every fifty years in the Alchemy Pagoda. This match is very crucial, and even has key impact on who wins the championship. This old man hopes you all show your strongest today.

“The third match is purely free play, so the contestants will prepare your own spiritual herbs and pill formulas for refining. The level of pills mustn’t be below grade 6, and the time must not exceed ten hours, otherwise you will be eliminated directly.

“There’s no limit to the number of tries, as long as the pill’s refined within ten hours.

“Alright, the third match officially begins.”

As soon as his words fell, the contestants present took out the spiritual herbs they had prepared long ago and began to refine them calmly one by one.

But Lan Ruo Shui and Lou Mu Yan didn’t act immediately.

“What I want to refine are grade 8 pills. If you can only refine grade 7 advanced-level pills, you will definitely lose.” Lan Ruo Shui looked up at Lou Mu Yan icily.

Lou Mu Yan chuckled: “What a pity, what I’m going to refine today is also grade 8 pills, it’s not certain who’ll win or lose.”

“Then let’s have a showdown.” Lan Ruo Shui’s expression was still icy, but a little more confident and proud.

Lou Mu Yan smiled, her entire body glowing with confidence, “Sure!”

The other contestants, including Zhou Zhou, could only smile bitterly when they heard the conversation between the two. Today’s battlefield was bound to be just a duel between the two beauties with vastly different temperaments, and they were just green leaf foils.

The people in the private rooms could naturally hear the conversation between the two. Some superiors that knew that Lan Ruo Shui was a grade 8 alchemist weren’t surprised that she would be this confident, but Lou Mu Yan exceeded everyone’s expectations.

A twenty-year-old grade 8 alchemist felt unrealistic. After all, although Lan Ruo Shui appeared around twenty, but she was actually already thirty-five years old.

Of course, thirty-five years old was very young for a life with thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

Lan Ruo Shui was the first to take out level 8 spiritual herbs to refine. It hadn’t been long since she became a grade 8 alchemist, so she could only refine initial-level grade 8 pills, which was also her limit.

Immediately, she took out an ice-blue cauldron, and a cluster of sky-blue flames popped out of her hand and fell into the cauldron, then she began to refine them one by one.

“Spirit flame, Lan Ruo Shui has a spirit flame as expected.”

This was already guessed by the people present, although Lan Ruo Shui had never used spirit flames before.

Lou Mu Yan knew at a glance that Lan Ruo Shui would refine an initial-level grade 8 pill. After thinking about it, she decided to refine an intermediate-level grade 8 pill.

One was to fight using her strongest ability which was a form of respect towards the opponent; second, it also made her mother and Ming Xiu look good; third, with Ming Xiu and the other princes and princess’s huge bets, she must win; and fourth, she and her spirit pets had also bought her winning at major gambling venues.

The Seven-Coloured Glazed Cauldron flew out of her body, and she took out the level 8 spiritual herbs from her bell space, then Lou Mu Yan also began to refine.

Magic tools like the natal magic tool, the natal array compass, and the Seven-Coloured Glazed Cauldon all needed to be stored in the dan’tian to nourish.

The fire elemental energy in her body was obviously not enough to refine high quality grade 8 pills. With a thought, a purple-gold fire qi’lin flew out from between her brows and fell directly into the Seven-Coloured Glazed Cauldron.

“What a powerful spirit flame.”

“Heavens! Lou Mu Yan also possesses a spirit flame, just how old is she?”

“To subdue such a strong spirit flame at such a young age, her talent is too perverted.”

“Yeah! I heard that subduing a spirit flame with such power requires a strong body so as not to explode. As expected of someone from the Feng Clan, she must also be a body cultivator.”

“I can fell the power of the spirit flame in Lou Mu Yan’s body even from so far away through an enhanced light cover. Lan Ruo Shui might not be able to win.”

“No way, I bet ten million spiritual stones on Lan Ruo Shui winning in the underground casino in the Hidden City, wouldn’t I lose badly this time if Lou Mu Yan wins?”

“Me too, I also bet Lan Ruo Shui in the underground casino.”

“Fuck, you still have more than half of the hope of winning the bet on Lan Ruo Shui. At least Lan Ruo Shui is a veritable grade 8 alchemist, and Lou Mu Yan might not be able to refine grade 8 pills, but Zhou Zhou was my bet!”

“Why did you bet on Zhou Zhou? Although he’s good, but he’s not as good as Lan Ruo Shui!”

“His odds are higher than Lan Ruo Shui, I thought that he must have high talent since he’s from the Alchemy Pagoda and gave it a go.”

“Bro, I mourn for you.”

“…” Many people in the competition arena were talking about the outcome. Many bet in the major casinos and ninety percent of them bet on Lan Ruo Shui winning the championship.

In Lou Mu Yan’s small private room, Bing Ji’s expression was filled with smugness.

“Stinky bird, what’re you snickering about?” Long Yao asked curiously seeing that the smile on Bing Ji’s face couldn’t be hidden.

Bing Ji glanced at him triumphantly and said: “I bet all my belongings on Owner winning in the underground casino. I’ll be rich now.”

“What? You stinky bird went to bet and didn’t call me.” Long Yao glared at him.

Bing Ji carefully looked at Mo Yan, who was lying lazily on his stomach and said: “Boss Mo ordered me to go to various casinos to bet on owner winning, so I bet all my wealth together, why would I call you.”

“We also bet on Owner winning.” Miao Miao also said with a proud smile.

She, Xue Xue, and Chi Huang’s belongings were also given to Bing Ji to bet.

Long Yao looked at Mo Yan with resentment, “You’re partial.”

Mo Yan raised his eyes finally, “That’s because you’re stupid.

“…”

Long Yao only heard the sound of heartbreak—couldn’t they have fun anymore…

“When we went to bet, you weren’t here yet.” Lei Huang curled his lips up, “We made the bet before the competition, so we must be able to make crazy money this time.”

They bought Lou Mu Yan winning the championship before the start of the competition. At that time, Lou Mu Yan hadn’t shown her strength yet, and the odds were very high; one to one hundred. They’d really make a crazy fortune this time.

At this moment, all the spirit pets praised Boss Mo’s wisdom in their hearts.

“Can we still go buy now?” Long Yao said bitterly.

“What’re you gonna buy, the betting of the major casinos has long since ended.” Bing Ji rolled his eyes at him—stupid alright.

Long Yao pursed his lips, truly regretting immensely.

He should’ve gone to the inn to find Female Owner before the start of the match, so that he could also get advice from Boss Mo. He lost a fortune this time.

After this incident, he also became more determined in his heart to follow Boss Mo in the future—only that way, would his future be bright.
