"Young master, you are planning to play it real." In an inconspicuous corner, Lao Huang leaned against the wall drunkenly, holding a wine gourd in his hand, and took a sip of wine from time to time.
I don't care at all whether Shangguan Feng loses or wins.
"It's impossible to win this time."
Lao Huang touched the prickly stubble on his chin and murmured to himself, then his eyes lit up and he thought of the possibility of winning, and said again: "If you want to win, unless..."
"Unless he can convince the other two players to give up the competition and use the medicinal materials in their hands for his own use, then there is a high chance that he can refine the Six-Line or Nine-Line Qingming Pill!"
Suddenly, an old man with a long beard wearing a Confucian shirt and a Confucian crown appeared out of thin air behind Lao Huang.
He took a step forward, stood side by side with Lao Huang, and spoke of this possibility.
Hearing this, Lao Huang nodded.
Indeed.
Even if Shangguanfeng's alchemy skills are much better than Yuan Ye's, he still cannot break through the limitations of medicinal materials and refine fifth-grade elixirs out of thin air.
If he wants to win against Yuan Ye, this is the only way he can go.
Six lines, or nine lines Qingming Dan!
Lao Huang smacked his lips, somewhat unexpectedly, "Hey, why is it you? How come you, an old and sour fellow, are here free?"
The old man who suddenly appeared was none other than someone else.
It was Zhao Zai who was wandering around the territory of Xishu, looking for the awe-inspiring energy of heaven and earth!
I'm afraid there are only a few people in the world who dare to call the dean of the Pilgrim Academy a sour scholar.
Lao Huang is one.
"Old sour scholar, what are you doing here?" Lao Huang handed Zhao Zai his wine gourd and said in a frivolous tone.
The gourd contained good wine, and he was reluctant to let others drink it.
When I suddenly saw my old friend, I had to let go even if I didn't want to.
Zhao Zai declined and did not answer: "I'm here to ask the old swordsman for a promise!"
Lao Huang shook his head: "The promise is too heavy, I can't bear it, I can't bear it..."
Zhao Zai said again: "Huang Baixiu, since you lost to Xun Yijian and lost your reputation as a swordsman, why have you become less courageous?"
Lao Huang was startled, his eyes became dangerous, and he said angrily: "Fart, I didn't lose! I meant to support the younger generation."
"Haha..." Zhao Zai smiled, stroking the long beard on his chest, nodded and sighed: "Yes, yes, that's what the old swordsman said."
After saying that, he looked at Lao Huang and bowed with both hands: "Hongdou is about to worship at Qingyuan Temple. I hope that for the sake of Zhao having helped you before, the old swordsman will stay in Xishu and protect Hongdou's safety for half a year, only half a year."
That’s fine.”
Lao Huang remained silent and did not agree.
After a moment, he suddenly pointed at Zhao Zai's nose and cursed: "I tell you, you are so pedantic that you can't even protect your own granddaughter..."
Zhao Zai sighed helplessly.
After seeing this, Lao Huang leaned against the wall and waved his hands: "Get out of here, don't disturb me watching the game."
"Then Zhao will accept it as an old swordsman."
"Who said I agreed..."
Just as Lao Huang was about to refuse, a strong wind suddenly blew up around him.
As the Confucian magic words came out, Zhao Zai disappeared from the place.
Lao Huang immediately cursed in his heart: "I haven't agreed yet..."
After taking a few deep breaths, Lao Huang took a swig of wine... Well, just this once, we will not owe each other anything in the future."
The little farce outside the court did not affect the overall situation, and no one noticed that Zhao Zai was here.
Not to mention that no one would know that two big figures who had stirred up the situation in Kyushu agreed on the next thing in just a few words.
——
On the square, Shangguan Feng finished smelting the medicinal materials and stopped.
At the moment, he can win more than the Qing Ming Pill refined by Yuan Ye.
This is the only way to go.
Shangguan Feng spoke softly and faced the other two contestants except Yuan Yeye on the stage:
"You two, you just watched my method of smelting medicinal materials. Didn't you learn a lot?"
The two players nodded one after another, and they indeed learned a lot.
Although they can't learn everything, one and a half moves will be enough to benefit them for a lifetime.
"Brother Shangguan is righteous, and we have benefited a lot!"
"Yes, Brother Shangguan, thank you very much for teaching me!"
"Brother Shangguan can be called my master!"
The two clasped their fists and expressed their gratitude to Shangguan Feng.
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Feng nodded, but after a moment, he suddenly smiled.
The two of them were shocked when they saw the sudden change in his expression.
What is this going to do?
Brother Shangguan, your smile is so dangerous.
"Since you have learned a lot, do you have to pay some tuition?" Shangguan Feng rubbed his fingers and said with narrowed eyes.
The face of a profiteer.
The two looked at each other and took half a step back.
Sure enough, pie will not fall from the sky for no reason.
What's more, it's a piece of meat.
Shangguan Feng saw that the two men were serious about taking a few steps back. He became unhappy for a moment. With a straight face, he pointed at the two of them and said, "As a courtesy, I taught you how to smelt medicinal materials. Shouldn't you repay me in return?"
The two nodded.
The truth is correct.
only……
A little help can help, a big help...
Sorry, we are not familiar with each other.
Shangguan Feng didn't think too much at all. Time was urgent, so he said bluntly, "I want to refine the elixir, but I don't have enough medicinal materials on hand. I need you to contribute your medicinal materials."
What?
Contribute your own medicinal materials.
The medicine is gone.
Then why should we practice on our own?
No, no, absolutely not.
The two heads shook like breaking waves.
Shangguan Feng became anxious, pointed at someone and said, "Don't worry, you just saw that there is no hope of victory, and you still want to give up midway."
"Giving me the medicinal materials in your hand now is the same as giving up."
"Quickly, hand over your medicinal materials!"
"I, Shangguan Feng, promise that I will use your medicinal materials to refine elixirs and uphold your will to defeat him!"
Shangguan Feng pointed at Yuan Ye and said with great confidence.
"In this way, you can be regarded as winning in disguise."
Shangguan Feng said all his nice things just to get his medicinal materials.
Otherwise, it would be really difficult to win against Yuan Ye.
The changes on the field aroused enthusiastic responses from the audience off the field.
The audience was having a heated discussion with each other.
"Can it still be like this? Isn't this cheating?"
"Why did you cheat?"
"He robbed other people of medicinal materials."
"What's robbing? It's called robbing in an open and aboveboard manner...Did he rob? Did he do it? This is called discussion."
"Yes." The man nodded.
"In this way, with the help of other players' medicinal materials, maybe Shangguan Feng can really win."
"How can Yuan Ye agree?"
"Of course you can't..."
——
"My lords! I report Shangguan Feng for violating the rules of the conference! A flagrant foul! I ask your lords to punish him!"
Yuan Ye was not stupid, he immediately raised his hand and loudly signaled to the referee.
When the referees heard Yuan Ye's shouting, they couldn't make up their minds for a moment, and finally turned their attention to the high platform.
Those old guys have the final say.
A few old guys were whispering to each other and discussing in low voices.
Shao Qing, the oldest old man took a step forward, encouraged his true energy, and used the method of sound transmission. His voice was so loud that more than ten thousand spectators could hear:
"Report is invalid!"
"Why?"
Yuan Ye was puzzled and asked loudly.
"The rules of the conference are: First, you cannot use spells to interfere with your competitors' refining of elixirs. Second, you cannot use herbs or medicinal cauldrons other than those provided by us. Third, you cannot use words, force, or any other means to intimidate your opponents."
"In addition, the conference did not expressly prohibit borrowing herbs from opponents."
Note, they are borrowing herbs!
"Hahaha……"
After Shangguan Feng heard this, he looked up to the sky and laughed a few times.
This method works!
"Quick, quick, lend me your medicinal herbs, and I will help you win!" Shangguan Feng said eagerly to the two players.
God is really helping him!
Naturally, Yuan Ye would not let Shangguan Feng succeed easily.
Seeing that the supervisor did nothing, he deliberately favored Shangguan Feng.
He looked at the other players, discussed the pros and cons, and said loudly: "You two, if you borrow his medicinal herbs, what will you do with your own elixirs?"
"Each person only has one portion of the herbs, and once you use them, they're gone."
"If you borrow him, you are giving up completely."
"So, you can't borrow it!"
"..."
"But I was about to give up." One person said gloomily.
He told the truth.
If it weren't for Shangguan Feng showing off his sky-stealing ghost hand just now, it would have been too shocking.
If he forgets the time for a moment, he is afraid that the fire has been removed long ago, and he has returned to the sect to retreat and fight again in three years.
Yuan Ye: "..."
Okay, okay, just pretend I didn’t say it.
After a while, Yuan Ye said again: "Even if you lend him medicinal herbs, he can't win! Shangguan Feng is just lying to you!"
No matter what, Shangguanfeng cannot be allowed to succeed.
Yuan Ziye thought secretly.
"fart!"
Shangguan Feng immediately pointed at Yuan Ye's nose and cursed angrily.
He turned to look at the two players and waved his hand, "You two, just now I selflessly showed off my unique skills. If it was a lie, why would it be like this?"
Hearing this, the two of them felt clear in their hearts.
yes.
If Shangguan Feng is deceiving.
Why show off the ghostly hand that steals the sky?
Let them understand more or less.
Save yourself decades of detours.
Such a selfless and dedicated person.
Not to the point of deception!
"I'll lend it to you, brother Shangguan!"
A young man in blue brought the remaining medicinal materials to Shangguan Feng, cupped his hands and said: "Brother Shangguan! We must win!"
Shangguan Feng looked at him and nodded solemnly: "Don't worry!"
Anyway, I can't win with my own strength, so I might as well give Guan Feng a favor.
