Chapter 759: Success or Failure
Qingyang was operating in an orderly manner. In the aperture on the other side of the hall, Xia Meng adjusted his mentality and started refining the last material. He had already figured it out. Instead of hesitating, it was better to give it a go. Success or failure lies in one fell swoop.
Xia Meng was refining the last material, but it was only two quarters of an hour later than Qingyang started. Now he no longer seeks to surpass Qingyang in speed, because if you compete for speed, you will not be able to overtake the opponent, and it will cause chaos. For his own position, he can only work steadily and do his best. As for the rest, he can only pray that Qingyang fails, and good luck will naturally fall on him.
Putting aside all small thoughts, Xia Meng controlled the furnace at the center of the earth while taking the materials and processing them using various techniques. The proficiency of his movements was no worse than Qingyang's.
An hour passed quickly and everything went smoothly. Xia Meng even had a feeling that his chance of success this time was more than 70%. As long as there was any small mistake on Qingyang's side, victory would belong to him. , the Dan King inheritance is also his own.
Thinking of this, Xia Meng's operations became smoother and smoother. At this moment, the whole hall buzzed softly, and then a huge force of repulsion came over.
Xia Meng could feel that this repulsive force seemed to be kicking him out of the Dan King Palace, but the game was not over yet. Why was this happening? No matter whether you pass a level or fail, you have to finish refining the last material by yourself, right? Did something unexpected happen?
Xia Meng quickly raised his head to look. It didn't matter. He found that Qingyang opposite him had stood up from the ground, and on the platform in front of him, there were three Yuan Ju Dan neatly placed. In other words, the opponent has passed the third level test and is about to obtain the Alchemy King's inheritance, but whether he succeeds or fails, he is no longer useful, and this is why he will be kicked out of the Alchemy King Palace.
Xia Meng felt extremely unwilling, because he had a high chance of success this time, and it was very possible to pass the level, but it was just a little late, which led to the final failure.
He regretted in his heart, regretting why he didn't move faster and refine three pills before the opponent? He also hated in his heart, why Qingyang didn't make any mistakes? If Qingyang made a mistake, wouldn't he be the one who clears the level? He was even more angry, wondering why God was so unfair. Even though he could pass the level, he sent him such a strong opponent? The biggest thing in his heart was jealousy. He was jealous that Qingyang was about to obtain the Dan King inheritance, but he missed it.
No matter how unwilling Xia Meng was, it was already too late now. He didn't even have time to speak before he was kicked out of the Danwang Palace. The huge force of repulsion enveloped him. When he regained consciousness, his entire body was completely shaken. People were already standing in the stone chamber outside.
Looking at the familiar bronze secret door in front of him, Xia Meng knew that he had failed completely and that the Dan King inheritance had nothing to do with him. No matter how close you were to success and how hopeful you were, you couldn't change the ending of failure.
Boundless depression hit his heart. Xia Meng was disheartened for a moment. He no longer wanted to stay here, so he turned around and walked out of the stone room.
Before Xia Meng could take a few steps, other people in the stone room gathered around and asked, "Senior Xia, how is the situation? Did you fail to clear the level?"
Xia Meng was feeling uncomfortable. Hearing a junior expose his shortcomings in person, he suddenly said with an unkind expression: "What? I was eliminated, and you seem to be very happy?"
Of course the Qi Refining monk didn't mean this. He was just eager to know the situation in the Alchemy King's Palace. He didn't think too much when he asked. Seeing that he had offended Xia Meng, he quickly explained: "Senior Xia, don't be angry. I'm just eager to know." The situation inside.”
Before Xia Meng could speak, Lu Yuan, who had always been at odds with him, finally found a chance to speak. He sneered and said, "Xia Meng, you said before that I had a bad mentality. Isn't that the same for you? You failed and turned to an alchemist. A monk is angry and has the nerve to pretend to be a senior in front of others? "
"What does it have to do with you if I teach others a lesson?" Xia Meng said angrily.
"I just can't stand the arrogance of some people." Lu Yuandao.
Xia Mengdao: "So what if I am arrogant? At least I persisted until the end, unlike some people who were eliminated early, and my defeated generals dared to talk too much in front of me?"
This was what Lu Yuan was most taboo about. As a result, Xia Meng refused to open any pot. Lu Yuan was so angry that he could hardly speak. He pointed at him and said: "You... you..."
Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, Nangong Chi quickly smoothed things over and said: "Two fellow Taoists, you are both famous foundation-building alchemy masters on Lanyu Island, so why are you arguing over a few words? Everyone also cares about the Alchemy King. Now that we know how to compete, let’s talk about the situation inside the Alchemy King Palace first.”
After a few words with Lu Yuan, Xia Meng felt better. He had a cooperative relationship with the Nangong family. For Nangong Chi's sake, he said, "You must all know the questions of the third level. There are thirteen in total." We needed to refine the Juyuan Dan with the same amount of materials. That Qingyang and I had both refined two pills before. When it came to the last piece of material, I was almost done. I didn’t expect that Qingyang succeeded in refining it before me. As a result, I He was kicked out of the Alchemy Palace."
As soon as Xia Meng finished speaking, Lu Yuan interjected: "You are so brazen. Who would believe what you say? I must have been kicked out because of my failure in refining, but you say this to put yourself in a good position."
Lv Yuan and Xia Meng's alchemy skills were similar. Lv Yuan only refined two Juyuan Pills with thirteen ingredients. Of course, he refused to admit that Xia Meng's strength was higher than his. Xia Meng was too lazy to argue with him and just said coldly: "That's the fact, believe it or not."
Fearing that Lv Yuan and Xia Meng would fight again, Nangong Chi hurriedly said: "So, Qingyang has passed the third round of the competition and became the winner of the Dan King Conference?"
Although Xia Meng didn't want to admit it, he still nodded and said: "Yes."
Although everyone hoped that the situation in the Dan King Hall was as Lv Yuan said, Xia Meng was kicked out because of the failure of the pill refining, and whether Qingyang could succeed was still uncertain, and he might fail in the end, but now Xia Meng admitted it himself, it seems to be true.
After confirming this, everyone at the scene had different reactions. The people of the Duanmu family felt lost because the Dan King Conference, which had been passed down for hundreds of years, might be interrupted and the Dan King inheritance would be taken away from now on. At the same time, they were happy for Qingyang. Strictly speaking, Qingyang was also a member of the Duanmu family. He represented the Duanmu family by participating in the Dan King Conference this time. It was much better for Qingyang, one of their own, to get the Dan King inheritance than for his enemies, the Ximen family and the Murong family, to get it.
