Chapter 9 Competition
This night, many people in Dongping City couldn't sleep, and they were all excitedly discussing tomorrow's big gamble. The casino even opened a handicap overnight to cheer up this unprecedented gamble in the history of Dongping City.
The next morning, when Cheng Fei heard about this, he smiled slightly and went to find Cheng Ling.
When Cheng Fei explained his intention and took out the ticket issued by the family with 200,000 taels of gold to be cashed at any time, Cheng Ling's eyes flashed with excitement.
This redemption ticket is a reward for Cheng Fei for finding the Star Emperor Grass and adding glory to the family.
Bet 200,000 taels of gold to bet in the casino, this kind of pulling wind Cheng Ling likes the most. After Cheng Ling withdrew money in the family treasury, he personally drove a huge amount of money, and went to the casino to bet under the protection of more than a dozen guards.
Cheng Ling's feat suddenly became a good story.
Now the handicap of the two is: Cao Tian is better than Cheng Fei, one to one point five. There are still many people who are optimistic about Cao Tian, after all, Cao Tian is one year older than Cheng Fei.
If you bet between Cheng Hongyi and Cao Li, no one will consider their age. However, the age difference between the fifteen and sixteen-year-old half-grown children of the alchemist family is too big. Everybody understands the truth behind this.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the casino was closed, and the gambling war was about to begin.
This competition was held on the square in front of the city lord's mansion in Dongping City, with a temporary fence erected around it and guards guarding the venue.
In the venue, in addition to the two nine-foot square high platforms that were temporarily erected, there was a row of tables and chairs lined up opposite the high platform, which were covered with red satin. There are four seats, and Cheng Li Mu, Que Silent, Cheng Hongyi and Cao Li are already in place.
The square in front of the City Lord's Mansion was already crowded with people. The windows of the restaurants and inns around the square are also crowded with people, and even the roofs are full of people. It is said that those seats were bought for money.
This competition was a big gamble that decided the fate of the two alchemist families in Dongping City. People don't want to miss the moment when they have to witness the winner and loser.
Cao Tian entered half an hour early, greeting acquaintances along the way, without the slightest nervousness.
This immediately caused bursts of cheers, and finally turned into a neat shout: Cao Tian will win.
Cao Tian smiled at the shout.
After arriving at the square, first salute the four people opposite, then sit cross-legged on the right table, close your eyes and wait for the game to begin.
Cheng Fei's appearance also caused a burst of cheers, but the effect was obviously worse than Cao Tian's. Cao Li glanced at Cheng Hongyi beside him with a smile, but Cheng Hongyi ignored it.
After Cheng Fei's salute, he looked at Cao Tian next to him.
Cao Tian closed his eyes and ignored him, his demeanor calm.
Cheng Fei whispered: "Stunned big-tailed wolf." ”
Cao Tian immediately opened his eyes and glared angrily.
Cheng Fei smiled and said, "I'm just angry with you, what can you do?"
Cao Tian replied: "I hope that after you lose for a while, you can still have such a mood." ”
It's time to bet!
Li Mu stood up and said loudly: "Everyone, be quiet! Today's gambling game, I believe everyone already knows the reason, I won't say much here." Now that the time has come, before the gambling competition begins, I read out the rules and bets of this competition, and everyone will witness it. ”
Although everyone knew the bets of this gambling game, when Li Mu finished reading it, there was still a burst of cheers.
Li Mu waved his hand to suppress the call, and then announced the start of the bet.
The rules of this competition are simple: within an hour, the two of them play to the best of their ability. Then Li Mu and Que silently evaluated the advantages and disadvantages. Although Li Mu is not good at it, he can still distinguish the good from the bad for the second-grade pill.
In the inevitable whispering in the square, Cheng Fei and Cao Tian began their own refining.
In less than half an hour, Cheng Fei was completed. Then sit there with your eyes closed, waiting for the time to end and judge the results.
According to the rules of the competition, not only the type, grade, and fineness of the elixirs refined by the two were compared, but also the quantity. In the first three cases, when two people have the same score, quantity becomes the key factor in winning.
Everyone didn't understand: Obviously there was enough time, Cheng Fei could still refine another furnace, why did he stop. Is it possible that Cheng Fei has refined the three-pin pill?
How can it be?
Even Cheng Hongyi frowned, but Cao Li smiled on the side.
In less than an hour, about three quarters of an hour, Cao Tian completed the refining of two furnaces.
Seeing that Cheng Fei had only refined one furnace, and the time was not enough to refine the third furnace, he signaled that he would also complete the refining.
Under everyone's attention, Cheng Fei took out four dark red pills from the Dan furnace. It looks like a blood pain pill, but the color is wrong.
A qualified Pain Blood Pill should be glucose-colored. Cheng Fei's elixir was slightly bright red, and Mingxuan couldn't wait for it.
Cao Tian saw that Cheng Fei only took out four pills, and he was immediately relieved. He opened the Dan furnace and took out six more Pain Blood Pills, and the two furnaces were added together, making a total of twelve Pain Blood Pills.
He looked up at Cao Li and found that Cao Li had a smug look in his eyes. And Cheng Hongyi next to him is a dark cloud, looking like he wants to cry without tears.
Cao Tian turned his head and asked, "Cheng Fei, a talented boy on the first day of Dongping City, do you think it's still necessary to compare?"
Cheng Fei replied: "If you admit defeat directly, I have no opinion." ”
Cao Tian smiled: "Haha! Then let you die completely." ”
At this time, Li Mu stood up and said, "Since both of you have finished refining, then bring your elixir." ”
The twelve Pain Blood Pills refined by Cao Tian didn't say much, they were decent. The four of them didn't need to take a second look, they already had a certain number in their hearts.
However, the four pills refined by Cheng Fei, Cao Li didn't care about them, and just looked at Cheng Hongyi with a sneer.
Cheng Hongyi looked at the four pills nervously, expecting a miracle.
After a while, Que said silently: "Cao Tian, your refining Pain Blood Pill has reached a medium level, the color is slightly gorgeous, the heat is obviously insufficient, and the medicinal effect is average. Is there anything else you'd like to add?"
Cao Tian saluted and said respectfully: "Miss Que is discerning. I have nothing to say. ”
"Hmm. ”
Que silently agreed, then looked at Cheng Fei and asked, "Cheng Fei, is this pill of yours also a Pain Blood Pill?"
Cheng Fei replied: "It's not exactly a Pain Blood Pill. ”
As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of laughter all around, which was mixed with insults.
Obviously, the person who won the battle is now completely desperate. Hearing Cheng Fei's own unconfident rhetoric, after the ridicule fell, the scolding was overwhelming.
What a flurry!
Cao Tian took the opportunity to tease: "Hehe! Cheng Fei! You are still a little self-aware. I really didn't expect that at your level, you would dare to compete with me. But you managed to make me nervous all night, and in that respect, you succeeded. ”
The burst of laughter rang out again.
Li Mu stood up, looked around angrily, and the noise suddenly disappeared.
After calming down, Que asked silently, "Cheng Fei, can you introduce me, is there anything special about your pills?"
Cheng Fei didn't answer, but asked rhetorically: "May I ask Miss Silent, what is the medicinal effect of the Pain Blood Pill?"
As soon as Cheng Fei asked, everyone was stunned.
Who doesn't know the medicinal effect of the Pain Blood Pill? Analgesic and blood tonic is the most commonly used pill, and everyone knows it. But why did Cheng Fei ask this question at this time?
Que was silent for a few moments, and then said: "Pain Blood Pill! As the name suggests, it relieves pain and replenishes blood." It usually has an analgesic effect of two to three hours. What are you going to say?"
Cheng Fei replied: "I have refined these four Pain Blood Pills, which have a labor effect time of six hours, and the analgesic effect is even better, almost anesthetic. It has a stronger ability to replenish blood, which can help people with injuries recover sooner. ”
"Boom~~~"
As soon as Cheng Fei's words came out, the exclamations around him came one after another, almost connected. Even the four people at the table had their eyes wide open and their expressions of disbelief.
