The Urban Medical Martial Immortal

Chapter 883: Chapter 878: Betting

In the Flying Cloud Pill Workshop, many people looked at Shi Xiaoshou with mocking expressions, coldly laughing.

They were all waiting to see a good show.

Because Zhou Chencheng had arrived!

Seeing the young man appear at the door, walking over with several youths who held haughty expressions, Shi Xiaoshou’s face involuntarily stiffened.

The young man was dressed in silk and satin, a brocade belt around his waist, a jade pendant hanging, holding a treasure sword, his steps full of imposing vigor.

This young man was naturally Zhou Chencheng!

The alchemy genius of the Flying Cloud Inn, the proud disciple of Fuyao Wanderer!

In Flying Cloud City, whenever people mentioned Zhou Chencheng, they were full of admiration and envy.

Many family elders often lamented——having a son like Zhou Chencheng, what more could one ask for?

And many people took Zhou Chencheng as a role model and example, often using him to reprimand their own offspring.

If Zhou Chencheng was the target admired by countless people, then Shi Xiaoshou was the classic negative example.

It wasn’t that Shi Xiaoshou had the worst talent in Flying Cloud City.

He could cultivate to the Qi Refining First Level, which was much stronger than many others.

But just because he lacked the Diamond, yet strained for porcelain work, he became the object of much ridicule.

Little Fatty once boasted that he would definitely become Fuyao Wanderer’s disciple, and his act of using wild grass for alchemy spread like wildfire throughout Flying Cloud City, attracting much derision.

Not only that.

He also once arrogantly claimed he would refine an Advanced Profound Pill, obtained Boss Guu’s pill furnace, and become an existence surpassing Zhou Chencheng.

Such egotistic talk naturally made many in Flying Cloud City extremely displeased with Shi Xiaoshou.

Now he again claimed he would step over Zhou Chencheng, a statement Zhou Chencheng caught, which promised to be quite a spectacle.

Though Shi Xiaoshou often spoke recklessly, he knew his own limitations.

He was quite afraid of Zhou Chencheng.

Zhou Chencheng was notorious for his domineering ways in the Flying Cloud Inn, relying on the Zhou family’s influence and his own talent, becoming a vaguely leading figure among the young in Flying Cloud City.

In the past.

Shi Xiaoshou had never said such things about overshadowing Zhou Chencheng to his face.

Now, he happened to be caught in the act.

”Stupid Fatty, I’ve long heard you use me as a stepping stone, claiming everywhere you’ll step on me to rise, and now you actually bump into me!”

Zhou Chencheng walked over with a sinister expression, sneering, ”Now, I want to see how you plan to step over me!”

”What do you intend to do?”

Shi Xiaoshou became a bit flustered, but finally bit back, defiantly saying, ”Even if I can’t match you now, eventually I’ll surpass you!”

”Eventually? You think I’ll dig you out from your coffin later?”

Zhou Chencheng’s eyes turned cold, shouting, ”Today, either you refine an Advanced Profound Pill, or crawl out between my legs, barking like a dog three times, then get lost!”

”You...”

Shi Xiaoshou’s face changed, filled with fury and shock.

”Not willing?”

Zhou Chencheng squinted his eyes, his voice cold, ”Do I need to break your legs to make you crawl out? After all, today you have only one path, which is to refine an Advanced Profound Pill! Otherwise, crawl like a dog! Or else, even wastes like you dare name me as stepping stones, people in Flying Cloud Inn might think Zhou Chencheng is a pushover!”

Hearing this.

Shi Xiaoshou trembled all over, his chubby face flushed red, finally shaking his rolls of fat angrily at Zhou Chencheng, ”You’re bullying too much!”

”Bullying too much? Yes, I’m bullying you, so what?”

Zhou Chencheng sneered, shouting, ”Waste! If you think you’re incapable of refining the Advanced Profound Pill, then crawl like a dog!”

Crunch, crunch~

Shi Xiaoshou clenched his fists tightly, his face a mix of shame and anger.

Refining an Advanced Profound Pill?

He didn’t even have a one percent chance!

Crawling out like a dog?

Then he wouldn’t have a face to remain in the Flying Cloud Inn anymore!

”Wait a moment!”

At this point, Lin Tian, standing behind Shi Xiaoshou, stepped forward, patting the latter’s shoulder, then looked at Zhou Chencheng, smiling, ”You say he has to refine an Advanced Profound Pill, isn’t that a bit unfair? Can you refine one?”

”Advanced Profound Pill, I already have some clues!”

Zhou Chencheng snapped coldly, his gaze falling on Lin Tian, frowning and asking, ”But who are you?”

”I am Shi Xiaopang’s friend!”

Lin Tian smiled slightly, saying, ”I’d say, why don’t the two of you have an alchemy contest? Whoever refines a higher-grade, better-quality elixir wins! And the loser, just crawl out barking like a dog, how about it?”

”Alright! I’ll have him lose convincingly!”

Zhou Chencheng clapped his hands, smiling, then looked at Shi Xiaoshou, sneering, ”How about it, Stupid Fatty, dare to accept? Don’t say I’m not giving you a chance!”

”Lin Bei, this...”

Shi Xiaoshou widened his eyes, looking back at Lin Tian with a face full of surprise.

”No courage to accept? Then I must have misjudged you!”

Lin Tian’s expression turned serious, frowning, ”I just taught you a technique, you can try it! Many difficulties cannot be faced head-on, how far can you go in the future?”

Hearing this, Shi Xiaoshou’s whole body trembled, then he took a deep breath, nodded heavily, then looked at Zhou Chencheng, shouting, ”Alright! I accept! But, you go first?”

”Me first? I’m afraid you’ll despair watching!”

Zhou Chencheng raised his lips, showing a deep smile, ”But I can go first, so you can open your dog eyes wide and see how vast the gap between you and me is, so you know what despair is, perhaps you can directly give up and not waste Boss Guu’s spiritual medicine!”

The two sides set the bet, Zhou Chencheng prepared to refine the elixir, and the Flying Cloud Pill Workshop instantly boiled over.

Everyone gathered around.

The waste Fatty Shi Xiaoshou was going to make a bet with Zhou Chencheng, which exploded in the shop.

This was unbelievable!

Many people outside who got the news also flooded in.

Some wanted to see Zhou Chencheng refine elixirs, the alchemy genius of Flying Cloud City, refining in front of everyone, which was a rare sight!

Seeing a crowd surrounding them, looking at him with admiration and longing, Zhou Chencheng’s face was proud, his whole aura even more extraordinary.

And as he began to refine elixirs, many people excitedly exclaimed.

His elegant gestures and fluid movements made the onlookers marvel, which made Zhou Chencheng secretly proud.

”Stupid Fatty, before you even touch the pill furnace, I’ll make you despair!”

Zhou Chencheng turned and gave Shi Xiaoshou a glance, sneering.

Shi Xiaoshou, seeing Zhou Chencheng’s movements, turned pale, turning back with some bitterness, saying to Lin Tian, ”His alchemy skills exceed mine by far, how can I win against him?”

Lin Tian’s lips slightly curved, and he smiled, ”Watch carefully as he refines, then compare it to the last magic I taught you, piece by piece. If you have the makings for alchemy, I think you’ll have a sudden insight!”

Hearing this, Shi Xiaoshou widened his eyes, looking dazed.

But, finally, he still heeded Lin Tian’s advice and started watching Zhou Chencheng’s movements intently.
