Divine War Pill Emperor

Chapter 376: Chapter 374: The Angry Man

Jiang Chen taking out the Black Fire was already shocking enough.

Now, he was even performing Alchemy while standing.

It left people speechless.

But none of this affected Jiang Chen’s performance in the slightest.

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH...

The Black Fire burned continuously, its temperature fluctuating.

The Pill Furnace flew about, changing its angle constantly.

The whole process was so elegant.

Then, at a certain moment, Jiang Chen slowly came to a halt.

WHOOSH...

At that very moment, a rich medicinal aroma wafted out of Jiang Chen’s Pill Furnace.

"What a rich aroma."

"Heavens, how is his medicinal aroma so potent?"

Many people gasped in surprise. They could clearly sense the aroma—it was incredibly potent and washed over them.

This fragrance was several times stronger than Lord Wangu’s from before.

Anyone nearby could smell it.

The quality of an Elixir could be judged by its aroma alone.

As Patriarch of the Qin Family, Qin Yun trembled violently when he smelled the fragrance of Jiang Chen’s Elixir.

He stared intently at Jiang Chen, his eyes filled with disbelief.

’Impossible! How does he know Alchemy?’

’And he’s even better than Lord Wangu.’

At this point, even a fool could see that Jiang Chen’s Alchemy Skill was clearly superior to Lord Wangu’s by more than just a small margin.

Even without seeing Jiang Chen’s Elixir yet, just from the aroma, he knew its quality was definitely much higher than Lord Wangu’s.

Even Lord Wangu himself was horrified.

"This..."

He was completely dumbfounded, as if he’d been struck by lightning.

His mind went blank.

But in his heart, he was still fervently cursing, ’Explode, Pill, explode...’

As long as Jiang Chen’s refinement failed, he could still win.

But unfortunately for him, Jiang Chen’s refinement did not fail.

"Collect!"

Jiang Chen beckoned to the Pill Furnace.

The final step: collecting the Elixir.

The next moment, a gleam of golden light appeared, floating out from the Pill Furnace.

Everyone’s eyes went wide as they stared.

HISS...

"A Gold Quality Blood Qi Pill..."

An untold number of people gasped.

They were utterly shaken. As they stared at the Blood Qi Pill in Jiang Chen’s hand, the sound of people swallowing nervously was endless.

They were completely and utterly stunned.

It was because the Blood Qi Pill in Jiang Chen’s hand, a pinkish pill, was enveloped in a layer of golden halo-like luster.

This indicated that the pill was, without a doubt, a Gold Quality Blood Qi Pill.

In contrast, the one Lord Wangu had refined earlier was merely a Silver Quality Elixir.

The difference between the two was obvious at a single glance.

There was no need for an Identification Device to tell which was superior.

After all, there was a fundamental difference between Gold Quality and Silver Quality.

Anyone who wasn’t blind could see it.

"This kid’s Alchemy Skill is actually this incredible."

Mr. Gu’s expression shifted slightly. He too was shocked that Jiang Chen could refine a Gold Quality Elixir.

"Someone like him is exceedingly rare, even among Alchemists."

Then, he frowned.

Beside him, Qin Muxue’s jaw dropped so wide you could have fit a duck egg in her mouth.

She was left awestruck by Jiang Chen.

She had broken off their engagement entirely because Jiang Chen lacked ambition and had low Cultivation.

She couldn’t even see a single good quality in him.

That was why she’d latched onto Wen Shixi. Now, seeing Jiang Chen display such astonishing abilities, Qin Muxue felt a pang of regret.

After all, with his current talent and skill, he was destined to leave the Fire Sparrow Kingdom and could even make his way into the Three Great Empires.

A person like that would be the radiant protagonist no matter where he went.

’Why didn’t I see this talent in him before?’

Her feelings even turned to hatred for Jiang Chen.

Holding the Elixir, Jiang Chen ignored the surrounding clamor and screams, turning his gaze to Lord Wangu.

He said coolly, "Do you have anything else to say?"

Lord Wangu’s body shook violently, and his face instantly turned as white as snow.

The facts told him he was utterly defeated. Jiang Chen had crushed him on more than one level.

Moments ago, he had been boasting about defeating Jiang Chen. Now, he was like a man struck by lightning, speechless.

He even thought of their bet. He had lost, and now his life was in Jiang Chen’s hands.

Now, he had truly lost, and his life was forfeit to Jiang Chen.

Stumbling back a few steps, Lord Wangu said unwillingly, "I didn’t know you knew Alchemy! You tricked me!"

Jiang Chen fought the urge to slap Lord Wangu a few times and said indifferently, "Now, your life belongs to me, Jiang Chen."

Lord Wangu’s expression changed drastically.

He roared, flustered and exasperated.

"No, I don’t accept it!"

"You deceived me! You deceived everyone! You knew Alchemy Skill all along!"

He still couldn’t accept this reality.

Jiang Chen glanced at Lord Wangu with a hint of pity. "I never said I didn’t know Alchemy Skill."

"If I recall correctly, I said I knew a little bit of Alchemy Skill."

Lord Wangu was overcome with rage, and his face turned deathly pale.

He pointed at Jiang Chen and bellowed, "This is what you call ’a little bit’?"

"You can refine a Gold Quality Elixir, but you said you only knew ’a little bit’! Isn’t that deceiving me?"

He felt like he had been deceived by Jiang Chen.

In reality, he was only deceiving himself now.

After all, regardless of whether Jiang Chen knew a little or was an expert, he had still lost to him.

He was just trying to make excuses now.

Unfortunately, his excuses were doomed to fail.

"Are you going to act like a sore loser in front of all these people?"

"Our bet was made in front of everyone. You lost. Your life is mine."

Jiang Chen advanced, step by step.

At this moment, everyone in Guyue City fell silent.

They looked at Lord Wangu with some disappointment. He had once been the pride of Guyue City, but now he had become a shameless clown.

Many people shook their heads in regret.

"What a shame. We all thought he was a genius."

"But now look at him. He’s just a scoundrel who treats his own words like farts."

"Yeah, I can’t believe Lord Wangu is this kind of person. I used to think so highly of him."

"Lord Wangu, are you even a man? Stop bringing shame to Guyue City! You’ve made us all lose face!"

The crowd began to rebuke Lord Wangu. His failure to honor his promise made them lose all faith in him; some even began to feel disgusted by him.

Lord Wangu looked around in a panic at the same people who had been praising him moments ago, but were now condemning and mocking him.

The higher they had once raised him up, the harder they were now casting him down and stomping on him.

His state of mind completely shattered.

He turned to Patriarch Qin, Qin Yun, and roared furiously, "Qin Yun, you bastard! You ruined my reputation!"

"I’ll kill you!"

He was furious, blaming Qin Yun for everything. In his mind, it was Qin Yun who had destroyed him.

If it weren’t for Qin Yun, how could he have lost so miserably and been mocked by everyone?

Qin Yun’s expression turned even uglier.

He never expected this would be the outcome.

Seeing Lord Wangu turn on him, he said angrily, "Your skills were inferior and your greed was insatiable, yet you dare to blame me."

Just as the two were about to fight, City Lord Zhao Bing immediately sent men to block Lord Wangu.

"Young Master Wan, please return home at once."

"This is not the time for you to be causing trouble."

Zhao Bing was also clearly very disappointed in Lord Wangu.

He had lost to Jiang Chen and utterly disgraced himself, making him a truly repulsive figure.
