Chapter 22: What is wealth?

"Do you think I'm going to be scared?" Xiao Hongchen raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically.

"Don't talk nonsense, just say whether you agree to compare with Qin Xiao." Meng Hongchen didn't bother to talk nonsense with Xiao Hongchen at all.

Xiao Hongchen's hands are behind his back, looking like he is not me,

"I laugh at Hongchen's talent, invincible in the world, why don't I dare?" Meng Hongchen said: "Okay, tomorrow morning, I'll come to you, let's go find Qin Xiao together." ”... Following.

Royal Soul Master Academy. Inside Laboratory Three. Qin Xiao, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a satisfied smile.

"Not bad."

"The whale paste and the elixir that Kong Deming gave to Jing Hongchen again, overnight, made my cultivation level three levels in a row, and it has reached level 24." I have to say that Kong Deming still has a lot of things.

The unknown elixir is of very high quality. Let Qin Xiao's cultivation break through one after another. Even, there was a thick layer of oil sludge-like substance on Qin Xiao's body surface.

These are all impurities that come out of his body. Fundamentally improved Qin Xiao's physique. got up and went to the bathroom to clean up, Qin Xiao felt even more refreshed.

However. When Qin Xiao walked out of the bathroom, he couldn't help but be stunned. in the laboratory. There were two more people.

It was a pair of teenagers and girls. Meng Hongchen was also stunned. Isn't this guy in front of him the guy who pits himself five Golden Soul Coins?

But. After eating the grilled fish, the resentment in her heart had long since disappeared. I even look forward to the next encounter with Qin Xiao.

And she also secretly made up her mind that if she had the opportunity to meet again, no matter how much she spent, she would hire Qin Xiao to be her royal chef.

Not for anything else. Just because the grilled fish is so fragrant.

"Why are you here?" Meng Hongchen couldn't help but ask.

"What's so strange about that?" Qin Xiao wondered, where am I not here? After all. I don't even have the status of an official student.

"Sister, do you know each other?" Xiao Hongchen thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "This brother, since everyone is an acquaintance, it will be easy to do." I'm here to find Qin Xiao, I don't know where he is? As he spoke, his eyes kept wandering into the lab.

Qin Xiao: "..."You still don't know me if you're looking for me?" Are you kidding? He said expressionlessly: "I am Qin Xiao, do you have something?" "Huh?

It turns out that this guy in front of him is the main one... Xiao Hongchen's face was strange for a while.

"What? Are you Qin Xiao? Meng Hongchen was stunned. She didn't expect that the teenager she wanted to hire as a chef was actually the person they were looking for.

Can grill fish, is handsome, has high talent... At this moment, Qin Xiao became plump in Meng Hongchen's heart.

Grandpa really understands my heart too well. I am very satisfied with the job I have arranged. Meng Hongchen was a little pleased.

"If it's fake, let's say, what are you looking for Qin Xiao?" Qin Xiao wondered, what did these two guys want to do?

Moreover, the girl's eyes were strange, as if she had thought she had been a grilled fish, as if she wanted to eat him.

"Qin Xiao, hello. My name is Meng Hongchen, this is my brother Xiao Hongchen. Meng Hongchen hurriedly introduced himself.

Sure enough, it's them... Qin Xiao's heart moved, and she remembered the information of the two. No doubt. They were extremely rare geniuses in the Red Dust Family, and even in the Sun and Moon Empire.

At this time, Xiao Hongchen directly explained the intention,

"Qin Xiao, I don't say secret words, I'm here to challenge you."

"Not really." Qin Xiao shook his head. If you come to a person to challenge yourself and accept it, you won't be busy that day.

"Huh?" Xiao Hongchen's expression changed,

"You don't accept it? Why" yet. Before Qin Xiao could answer, Meng Hongchen first tugged at Xiao Hongchen's sleeve,

"Brother, he doesn't agree, don't compare. Twisted melons are not sweet. Xiao Hongchen looked at Meng Hongchen in surprise and found that the girl had a serious face.

So, this is really persuading me, it's outrageous.

"That's not right for you to say that. The twisted melon is not sweet, but it quenches your thirst. Xiao Hongchen shook his head and insisted on his own thoughts.

Meng Hongchen was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Brother, how long did it take you to become a second-level soul master?"

"It's been more than a year, what's wrong?

Xiao Hongchen suddenly smiled,

"Have you forgotten? I'm the youngest second-level soul master in our Hongchen family, and I hold the record. Oh no, the third-level, fourth-level record holder, it seems like I'm the same too. And it won't be long before I become a fifth-level soul master, and I will set a new record. As he spoke, he puffed out his chest even more proudly.

"However, Grandpa said that it only took Qin Xiao more than a month to become a second-level soul master. You can be regarded as dying before you get out of the school, and you have already lost before you can compare. Meng Hongchen couldn't help but whisper beside Xiao Hongchen and reminded Xiao Hongchen.

On the other hand, when Xiao Hongchen heard this, he smiled slightly,

Do you believe that? I conclude that Qin Xiao must have some foundation before joining our academy. "More than a month to become a second-level soul master?

No way! When pigs fly! He didn't believe it.

"You don't believe Grandpa's words anymore?"

"Grandpa is getting older, and it is inevitable that there will be times when he looks away......"

"Oh, I see, you're talking about grandpa's old eyes!" Meng Hongchen looked surprised. Xiao Hongchen: "......" should I say it or not, he feels that Meng Hongchen is very wrong today.

"Dream, what's wrong with you, why are your elbows turning out hard today?"

"I don't have it." Dream Hongchen stuck out his tongue,

"People just look at things from an absolutely rational point of view." Saying that, she also glanced at Qin Xiao intentionally or unintentionally.

Qin Xiao's face was expressionless. But I know it in my heart. This girl is brushing her favorability here. It's just outrageous.

"Okay, you can leave if you have nothing to do, I have something to do." Qin Xiao was too lazy to talk nonsense with their brother and sister.

Isn't it fragrant to have this time to engage in scientific research on your own? Or, it is also good to knock two bottles of medicine to improve a wave of cultivation.

"No way!" Xiao Hongchen no longer paid attention to Meng Hongchen's obstruction, and walked straight to Qin Xiao's side and said in a loud voice: "You have to compete with me." ”

"Why?"

"Of course not by my face, but by this ......" Xiao Hongchen turned his hand and took out a jade bottle from the spatial soul guide,

"There are a lot of pills for cultivation here, which are just right for you right now."

"Oh?" Qin Xiao's heart moved. The invisible spiritual power spread from the body, and the grade of the variety medicine was known in an instant.

I have to say, it's pretty good. is no less than Kong Deming, handed over to himself by the hand of Jing Hongchen. If you get this bottle of medicine again, it is very likely that you will break through level 40 before the Soul Master Competition.

From here, he can also see that Jing Hongchen treats his two granddaughters very well, and he is willing to spend his blood.

However, Qin Xiao did not rush to agree.

"How do you want to compare? My current soul power is only more than 20 levels, so I can be regarded as a genuine second-level soul master. "If you ask Qin Xiao if he can skip the level to make a soul guide?

A: Of course, yes. It's just that you can get this bottle of elixir with three points of effort, so why do you have to give eight points of strength?

Isn't that a pain in the ass? Therefore, this laughing red dust should be pitted. If you don't cheat him, I'm sorry that he took the initiative to come to the door in person.

"Well, in that case, I won't be you. The two of us will carve the second-level magic circle, and whoever can complete it first will win. And if you win, this bottle of elixir is yours. ”

"And what if you win?" Qin Xiao asked curiously.

"Is there anything you can fancy to me? Joke. Xiao Hongchen pouted haughtily,

"I win you don't want anything, I just want to prove that I'm better than you."

"Huh." After listening to Xiao Hongchen's words, Qin Xiao couldn't help but laugh. There are not many such young people.

Send resources to yourself for free, the more good people like this, the better.

"What are you laughing at? Do you agree to give a happy word? ”

"Okay, I'll interrupt your challenge." Qin Xiao nodded, then looked at Meng Hongchen and said, "Then please be a witness." ”

"Okay, okay." Meng Hongchen replied again and again, nodding like a chicken eating rice,

"You can trust me with confidence, I promise to watch Xiao Hongchen and not let him cheat." Xiao Hongchen: "......" He looked at his sister, not knowing what to say.

Even his heart began to doubt. Who is an outsider? Can my own sister do this to herself?

At least not really. Now Meng Hongchen's performance, where is the elbow turning outward. It was like an elbow in his brother's face.

"Okay, no problem, let's get started." Qin Xiao planned to fight quickly. He didn't feel the need to waste too much time on a stranger, if it weren't for Xiao Hongchen taking out the pill and making Qin Xiao a little moved, he would have kicked these two guys out a long time ago.

"Hehe, are you in such a hurry to be defeated by me? Then again, I also want to see how talented you really are. Xiao Hongchen said, and also came to the experimental table to stand firm.

Then he glanced at the drawings on the table, and there happened to be a second-level magic circle.

"Let's portray it."

"It's a little bit difficult, but I think it's just right, what do you think?" Xiao Hongchen estimated that it would take a minute to carve this magic circle by himself.

Qin Xiao also glanced in the direction Xiao Hongchen was pointing at, and nodded,

"No problem." I have to say that the magic circle chosen by Xiao Hongchen is still a little difficult. It would take Qin Xiao half a minute to carve this magic circle down.

It is worth mentioning. Even if Xuan Ziwen, an eighth-level soul master, came to carve this magic circle, it would take about half a minute.

"Okay, dream, 5 seconds countdown." Xiao Hongchen said a word to Meng Hongchen, and then took out his carving knife and a piece of metal.

Meng Hongchen nodded, and his lips opened lightly,

"5, 4, 3, 2, 1, start." As Meng Hongchen's words fell, Qin Xiao and Xiao Hongchen's hands quickly drew afterimages in the void.

Brush brush. The carving knife flies like a flower butterfly, beating like a fairy. Xiao Hongchen and Qin Xiao are both immersed in their own worlds and are in a state of self-forgetfulness.

As time passed quickly, a delicate magic circle took shape in Qin Xiao's hand. 30 seconds. Meng Hongchen came up with an accurate number in his heart, which was extremely shocking.

But she hasn't forgotten her duty as a referee. After the carving knife in Qin Xiao's hand stopped carving, she immediately shouted, "The game is over!" "Bang dang.

Hearing this, Xiao Hongchen was like being struck by lightning, and the magic circle in his hand fell on the experimental table. His eyes widened in disbelief.

What's that? Meng Hongchen said that Qin Xiao was finished?

"Xiao Hongchen, are you okay? Qin Xiao only took 30 seconds to portray the end, you lost. Meng Hongchen touched Xiao Hongchen with his elbow, who was a little sluggish.

"I, I'm ......" Xiao Hongchen finally came back to his senses, and a look gradually appeared in his eyes,

"You, it only took you 30 seconds to finish the portrayal?" Facing Xiao Hongchen's doubts, Qin Xiao shrugged his shoulders.

His attitude is obvious. As if to say that you don't know how to watch it yourself?

"Okay, then I'll see for myself." Xiao Hongchen muttered: "You don't have to be too proud, the completion of the formation carving does not mean the end, and the speed is not necessarily winning, if your magic circle cannot transmit soul power, it also means failure." As he spoke, he picked up the magic circle in front of Qin Xiao and injected a trace of soul power into the magic circle.

Gradually, the circle shone brighter, brighter and brighter.

"Finished product. This is really a finished magic circle! And it only takes you 30 ......seconds to carve such a circle," Xiao Hongchen muttered in a low voice.

In fact, his heart was not at all calm. What is the concept of carving such a complex circle in 30 seconds?

Let's put it this way. Don't look at him as a fourth-level soul master now, even if he becomes a sixth-level, seventh-level, or even eighth-level soul master, he may not be able to reach this level.

As far as he knew, only a small number of Rank 8 Soul Masters could reach this speed. Because if you want to carve this circle so quickly, you need to have a unique insight and understanding of the circle.

But Qin Xiao actually achieved this step with the realm of a second-level soul master, it was simply ...... It's really simple.

At this moment, he couldn't help but have two words in his heart, convinced!

"Brother, how do you feel? Convincing or not? At this time, Meng Hongchen didn't open any pot. Xiao Hongchen's expression froze.

Even if he was convinced, could he say this? As the future heir of the Hongchen family, his pride did not allow him to bow to anyone.

At least not yet.

"This time it's just my carelessness, next time, next time, I will find today's field." Xiao Hongchen said and stuffed the bottle of pill in his hand into Meng Hongchen's hand, turned around and left.

Why don't you stay here? Waiting for a meal?

"Qin Xiao, congratulations." Meng Hongchen took the elixir he got from Xiao Hongchen's hand, turned his head and handed it to Qin Xiao, and his face was still beautiful.

"Thank you!" Politely replied, Qin Xiao took the bottle of rare elixir in his hand. There was still an inevitable sigh in his heart.

It is worthy of the wealthy Hongchen family. No matter how you say this bottle of elixir, it will cost hundreds of thousands of gold soul coins, right?

But on second thought, this is normal. Mingdetang is not short of money. In the original book, it cost 150 million gold soul coins to buy the Snow Emperor.

And Mingdetang is not short of money, so can Jing Hongchen, as the hall master, be short of money? However. The next moment, Qin Xiao frowned, and he looked at Meng Hongchen in confusion: "Aren't you going with your brother?" Meng Hongchen lowered his head and looked at his toes,

"What are you going to go, we will be classmates from today on."
