Chapter 155 I’ve Made This Bet

“You’re Alchemist Xu, right?”

A cold sneer appeared on Su Lang’s face:

“Just because I’m young, you assume I don’t have high-grade, high-quality pills? That’s utterly ridiculous.”

“Hmph, you inexperienced brat, could it be that you’re a high-grade alchemist?”

Alchemist Xu glanced at Su Lang condescendingly, “I estimate you’d be pretty good if you were a third-grade alchemist.

What kind of decent pills could a lowly, low-grade alchemist like you possibly have?”

In reality, Alchemist Xu’s assumption wasn’t wrong when applied to ordinary people.

Even Elder Li, who was responsible for inspecting the pills, thought the same.

How could a young martial artist, who spent most of their energy and time on cultivation, possibly be a high-grade alchemist?

However, they couldn’t possibly imagine that Su Lang was not only an alchemist, but a tenth-grade alchemist!

“Hahahahaha!”

Su Lang laughed dismissively, “Since you think I don’t have any decent pills, how about we make a bet?”

“A bet it is!”

Alchemist Xu said proudly, “Whatever you want to bet on, do you think I’d be afraid of a small alchemist like you?”

“This bet is simple.”

Su Lang said indifferently, “We’ll compare whose pills have a higher total value.

The loser pays the winner their entire fortune. Did you hear that? Their entire fortune!”

As soon as these words were spoken, Alchemist Xu was stunned, and Elder Li’s mouth twitched.

“Is this kid crazy?”

“Compare whose pills have a higher total value?”

“A low-grade alchemist and a high-grade alchemist—isn’t that obvious?”

“You don’t even need to compare; it’s definitely the high-grade alchemist whose pills have a higher total value!”

“Could this guy be selling pills on behalf of some high-grade alchemist?”

“That’s impossible too. Refining pills is so difficult; who would easily hand over pills to a young man to sell?”

A flood of thoughts flashed through their minds instantly.

Then.

“Good, we’ll bet on that!”

A confident, cold sneer appeared on Alchemist Xu’s face.

Alchemist Xu was a somewhat well-known eighth-grade alchemist in Eastern City.

He was very familiar with the alchemist circle in Eastern City and had never heard of any young high-grade alchemists.

And it was unlikely the other party was selling pills on behalf of someone else.

Even if they were, Alchemist Xu wasn’t afraid, because he had accumulated three months’ worth of pills this time!

“Wait!”

“Little brother, let’s just forget about it.”

Elder Li suddenly stood up with a smile, “Since you came first, I’ll look at your pills first. There’s no need for such a bet.”

In his opinion, Su Lang, as a mere martial artist, already lacked cultivation resources.

If he lost his entire fortune due to a momentary fit of pique, wouldn’t he be left with nothing?

As an elder, he couldn’t stand by and watch.

Moreover, Su Lang had indeed arrived first, and according to the rules, he had to inspect Su Lang’s pills first.

“Elder, thank you for your kindness.”

Su Lang naturally saw through Elder Li’s intentions and smiled faintly, “However, I’m determined to make this bet!”

Su Lang was determined to teach Alchemist Xu, this arrogant fellow, a lesson.

And while he was at it, he’d extort some money from him—consider it extra income!

“Hmph! I originally intended to let you off for Elder Li’s sake.”

Alchemist Xu snorted coldly, “But since you don’t know what’s good for you, I’ll make you lose everything. Don’t regret it then!”

“Tsk tsk, you’re really confident, aren’t you!”

Su Lang wore a faint, cold sneer, “Come on, bring out all your pills. Under the elder’s witness, we’ll have our showdown!”

“Tch, I’ll scare you to death when I bring them out!”

Alchemist Xu disdainfully flared his nostrils, then waved his hand, and the table was instantly covered with densely packed pill bottles.

“So many!?”

Elder Li exclaimed in surprise at the sight.

At the same time, his gaze towards Su Lang also carried a hint of pity.

In his opinion, Su Lang was absolutely going to lose!

Because the last time he had acquired so many pills at once was more than half a year ago.

This showed that the number of pills was indeed very, very large!

“How about it? Scared, are you? Too late!”

Alchemist Xu looked at Su Lang contemptuously, “Now, bring out your pills.

Although your pills are certainly trash, I’m still very happy to accept them.”
