Chapter 929: You Are Scared, Right?
Huang Xiaolong's expression was indifferent: "Whether I can take first place seems irrelevant to you. Who are you?"
Who are you?
The Devil Son Mo Su was stunned, then his expression became ugly.
Earlier, Jiang Lei called him Mo Su, and he didn't believe Huang Xiaolong didn't hear it. Huang Xiaolong certainly guessed his identity, yet now Huang Xiaolong dared to ignore him in public!
Mo Su's eyes flashed with black demon light, and killing intent surged from his body.
The airflow in the surrounding space stagnated.
After passing the tenth level of the Demon Tower, Mo Su's strength improved a notch. He is now at the Peak of Eighth Rank Divine, just one step away from breaking through to the Ninth Rank.
Therefore, just the killing intent from Mo Su's body was hard to bear for ordinary divine middle stage or lower-level disciples.
The disciples around the tavern all looked terrified and trembled.
Huang Xiaolong remained calm, and continued to say to Mo Su: "If you have nothing to do, then get lost now. Don't stand here and block my view, affecting my mood to drink!"
What?!
Mo Su and Jiang Lei both were furious.
Just as Mo Su was about to make a move, suddenly, a portly middle-aged man wearing a half-open brocade robe walked to the entrance of the second floor, seemingly the owner of the tavern.
The tavern owner approached Huang Xiaolong and the others, smiling cheerfully: "We run a small business here, built with ordinary wood, not able to withstand fighting. Considering my face, how about you choose another day to spar?"
Mo Su's eyes flashed with cold light, ready to kill the tavern owner too, but Jiang Lei urgently transmitted a message to Mo Su, his eyes signaling to stop.
Mo Su furrowed his brow, looked at the tavern owner in surprise, and after his expression changed several times, the killing intent from his body slowly receded.
Huang Xiaolong couldn't help but look at the tavern owner with deep meaning.
What exactly is the identity of this tavern owner? Jiang Lei undoubtedly said something to him earlier to make Mo Su wary.
After the killing intent receded, Mo Su coldly looked at Huang Xiaolong: "Huang Xiaolong, I hope next time we meet, you'll still be so arrogant. Don't think just because you know the Hundred Beasts Refining Diagram that you can win this competition's first place. With your alchemy skill, you don't even qualify to be my disciple."
Huang Xiaolong's expression remained indifferent: "Do you think just because you know the Thousand Beast Refining Diagram, you can win this competition's first place?"
Mo Su was taken aback, then laughed loudly: "If my Thousand Beast Refining Diagram at the Great Success Realm can't win first place, do you think your Hundred Beasts Refining Diagram can?"
Jiang Lei laughed as well: "I said this kid was an idiot, just didn't expect him to be this much of an idiot!"
Huang Xiaolong looked at Jiang Lei with cold eyes.
At this moment, Mo Su spoke again: "Because I closed in cultivation and studied the Supreme Demon Technique in recent years, I missed the Ascension Divine Competition. I tell you the truth, Huang Xiaolong, I've already passed the tenth level of the Demon Tower, and from the first level to the tenth level took less than ten years. If you can do the same in less than ten years, then I'll admit your talent and consider you equal to me."
But Huang Xiaolong shook his head: "There's no need."
He has already passed the twelfth floor of the Demon Tower, completing the entire tower, and has obtained the Heaven Creation Technique.
There's naturally no need to compare with Mo Su.
However, Mo Su mistakenly thought Huang Xiaolong was scared, so he sneered: "Are you afraid?"
Huang Xiaolong didn't answer but drank alone, no longer bothered with the two.
Seeing this, Mo Su and Jiang Lei didn't stay and found a place to sit down.
Half an hour later, Huang Xiaolong left the tavern.
As he left, he called the tavern server and spent over two billion buying all the existing Divine Flower Wine in the tavern.
Watching Huang Xiaolong's departing figure, Mo Su's eyes flashed with cold light, and he said in a chilling voice: "I'll make sure this kid understands the consequences of offending me, Mo Su!"
Jiang Lei laughed: "Actually, Brother Mo Su doesn't need to make a move. The Creation Gate won't let Huang Xiaolong leave Pill God City anyway."
Mo Su nodded and didn't speak further.
Back at the Sun and Moon Mansion, Huang Xiaolong continued to cultivate in seclusion.
In the blink of an eye, more than a month passed.
Two days before the Alchemy Grandmaster Alliance competition, Huang Xiaolong finally reached the Early Stage Seventh Rank Divine Peak.
However, not finding more divine artifacts to cultivate the Heaven Creation Technique, although several months passed, Huang Xiaolong's progress in the Heaven Creation Technique was minimal.
After reaching the Early Stage Seventh Rank Divine Peak, Huang Xiaolong didn't continue to cultivate in seclusion but took out over a hundred jars of Divine Flower Wine and drank alone.
"Has Master not come to Pill God City?" Huang Xiaolong drained a cup and pondered.
He has been in Pill God City for over two months, yet there is still no news of Elder Sheng Yue.
Logically, his assessment as an alchemist at the alliance headquarters has already spread in Pill God City. If Elder Sheng Yue were here, he wouldn't be unaware; if he knew, he would definitely seek him out.
Frowning, Huang Xiaolong wondered if something unexpected happened to his master.
Just then, someone triggered the prohibition outside Sun and Moon Mansion.
Stunned, Huang Xiaolong went outside Sun and Moon Mansion and saw Wangu Yanhui and Wangu Ye.
Wangu Yanhui smiled at Huang Xiaolong: "Brother Huang, did we brothers come to disturb your cultivation?"
Huang Xiaolong smiled: "No, I've been feeling it a bit dull drinking alone, your arrival is just right." He then welcomed them inside.
Arriving in the courtyard, Wangu Yanhui's eyes lit up upon seeing the jars of Divine Flower Wine on the ground: "Divine Flower Wine!"
Wangu Ye's eyes too heated up.
"You both know about this Divine Flower Wine?" Huang Xiaolong asked with a smile.
Wangu Yanhui laughed: "This Divine Flower Wine is the most famous wine in the Pill God World, ranking among the top three divine wines in tens of thousands of star rivers. Who doesn't know it? We're fortunate to taste it today."
Huang Xiaolong laughed: "If you have time, let's drink all these hundred-plus jars of Divine Flower Wine together."
Wangu Yanhui and Wangu Ye, hearing this, repeatedly said they had time.
A day later, Wangu Yanhui and Wangu Ye finally bid farewell.
The three talked a lot, mentioning the preliminary and second rounds of the competition.
Of course, when they left, the over hundred jars of Divine Flower Wine had become empty jars.
The night was quiet.
As dawn broke, Huang Xiaolong, seated cross-legged in the courtyard, opened his eyes.
The Alchemy Grandmaster Alliance competition had finally arrived!
Huang Xiaolong left the Sun and Moon Mansion and headed for the alliance headquarters.
Upon arrival at the headquarters, it was already teeming with people.
"Huang Xiaolong!"
The moment Huang Xiaolong appeared, someone recognized him, stirring up a clamor.
Holding the registration identity card, Huang Xiaolong entered the Alchemy Square reserved for participants.
Yet, the Alchemy Square was also packed with crowds. Although this time the Galaxy Disciples participating in the Alchemy Grandmaster Alliance competition were not as many as those in the Ascension Divine Competition, there were still plenty, over 1.2 million participants!
And after the preliminary elimination, only ten thousand would advance to the second round.
