C76 Phoenix Diagram!

Lu Mingyan did not have much silver on him.

However, all he had to do was throw a glance, and Feng Lejiang walked forward to support him.

After all, he was helping Feng Lejiang deal with Zhan Tianming, so he had to support him.

Feng Lejiang shook the stack of silver bills in his hand and snorted at Zhan Tianming. "Do you have anything more valuable on you? No matter what you take out, I'll bet something of equal value."

Hearing that, Zhan Tianming laughed.

'Haha!'

'Is this idiot indirectly asking me to take his silver?'

However...

Zhan Tianming wasn't an idiot, so he wouldn't bet his all on a losing gamble. So, he opened up the system to check Lu Mingyan's information.

After looking at his stats, Zhan Tianming became even happier.

Lu Mingyan, a two-star Martial Master, owns Heaven Grade pill cauldron.

No doubt, his strength was above Zhan Tianming. However, what made Zhan Tianming happy was a particular attribute he was seeing for the first time on someone.

Misfortune: 30

Zhan Tianming then looked at his own attributes.

Fortune: 15

Then, he looked at Feng Lejiang.

Unexpectedly, he also had a misfortune attribute, and it was even higher.

Misfortune: 45

'Haha!'

Zhan Tianming laughed in his heart.

If he couldn't defeat them even when they were so pitiful, he might as well find a piece of tofu and bash himself to death.

Still, Zhan Tianming did not immediately accept the bet. Instead, he first revealed a face that said "contemplating a difficult choice" in bold. Then, he said, "How about this: I will also bet my Cosmic Bag—what do you think?"

Hearing this, Lu Mingyan was caught utterly off guard.

However, Feng Lejiang was overjoyed.

"Good! I bid 400,000 silver against your Cosmic Bag." As if afraid that Zhan Tianming would go back on his word, Feng Lejiang immediately raised his stakes.

Actually, the market value of an ordinary Cosmic Bag was only around 300,000 silver.

However, this thing was priceless in many places.

Even if you were rich, you couldn't buy it.

Feng Lejiang, very straightforwardly, put all the silver bills on the table.

Then, he looked eagerly at Zhan Tianming.

Zhan Tianming smiled lightly and said, "I will take out the Cosmic Bag after you win."

"Alright, I'll trust your words," Feng Lejiang said.

In any case, with the king, Lin Zongzheng Shangjun, as his official witness, Feng Lejiang wasn't in the least bit worried. On the contrary, he was ecstatic as he fantasized about HIS Cosmic Bag. He even wanted Lu Mingyan to defeat Zhan Tianming within the next second.

Feng Wushuang walked over and whispered into Zhan Tianming's ear, "Are you really sure? Although Lu Mingyan can't fight, his pill refining skills are top-tier. He can be ranked in the top ten of the entire country's younger generation."

"Don't worry," Zhan Tianming chuckled.

"Sure." Feng Wushuang nodded.

Finally, she turned to look at Zongzheng Wanyou and laughed. "I also want to bet. I wonder if there will be anyone who would dare bet against me?"

"I'll bet you. Speak, what do you want to bet?" Zongzheng Wanyou immediately asked.

She just couldn't stand Feng Wushuang being so proud.

When Zhan Tianming looked at the duo, he felt very speechless.

'Forget it. I gotta focus on this.'

'However...

'I feel just a bit sorry for my goddess.'

'FOCUS, Tianming!'

'First, win against Lu Mingyan and Feng Lejiang, these two bastards!'

Just as Zhan Tianming was thinking in his heart, Feng Wushuang smiled and said, "I'll bet the Phoenix Diagram in my body."

"What?" Lin Zongzheng Shangjun and the rest were shocked.

The Phoenix Diagram?

This was an unknown but mighty protective treasure.

Amongst the aristocrats of the country, no one didn't know about this treasure's existence.

Why? Because this treasure was born with Feng Wushuang.

It was rumored that when Feng Wushuang was born, a beam of red light fell from the sky, landing inside the Prince Palace of the Baihu County.

A crimson glow flooded the room, emitting an auspicious aura.

Before long, the entire area was filled with the jolly cheers of phoenixes.

For three days and three nights, the space above the Baihu County's Prince Palace was filled with the cries of thousands of exotic birds.

As for the treasure diagram, it shot out a ray of red light and took root in Feng Wushuang''s body.

From then on, Feng Wushuang became that treasure's owner.

This was also why the current emperor adopted Feng Wushuang.

It was one of the biggest honors in the seven counties under the Sky Wing Country.

No one expected Feng Wushuang to use the Phoenix Diagram for the bet.

After all, this bet was no joke.

Zhan Tianming did not know about all this, but he still frowned.

'What is she doing?'

'Do I really have to help this female hooligan, Feng Wushuang, with dealing with my goddess?'

'But..'

'Wouldn't it be the same as asking my goddess to hate me for the rest of her life?'

Losing wasn't an option since he didn't have a Cosmic Bag, to begin with.

If he lost, what would he use to compensate the other party?

'What a pity...'

While Feng Lejiang and the rest were still in a state of shock, Zongzheng Wanyou, who was infuriated by her provocation, pulled her sleeves and fists, no longer caring about her image, and roared, "Fine, I'll bet with you. I bet—"

"Alright, Wanyou, stop messing around," Lin Zongzheng Shangjun said, interrupting her before she could finish.

After hearing the order, Zongzheng Wanyou couldn't help but feel frustrated.

Lin Zongzheng Shangjun glared at her. His eyes making it plenty clear that she should give up on the bet.

After that, Lin Zongzheng Shangjun turned to Feng Wushuang and cupped his fists toward her. "Princess Wushuang, that Phoenix Diagram is an enigmatic treasure that didn't even have a name before the emperor bestowed it one. How can you use for a mere gamble?"

Feng Wushuang laughed. She was actually trying to provoke Zongzheng Wanyou.

Now that Lin Zongzheng Shangjun had interrupted, she could only dispel this thought. However, he didn't forget to smile toward Zongzheng Wanyou complacently.

Zongzheng Wanyou was furious, but she could only keep that fire in her stomach.

Zhan Tianming finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he didn't have to help Feng Wushuang deal with his goddess anymore.

As for the Lu Mingyan and Feng Lejiang...

'Heh, heh!'

He wasn't going to show them any mercy.

As for the other two princes, Wu Zhichen and Dong Xuri, they did not participate in this stupid farce.

With the bet set, the competition was about to begin.

Lu Mingyan flipped his hand and took out a palm-sized bronze pill cauldron from his Cosmic Bag.

Compared to the size of the pill cauldron he had bet, this one seemed like a dwarf.

He would've used it, but he couldn't use the stuff that was already on the betting table.

However, Lu Mingyan was not worried about losing.

"Then how about we compare the quality of the pill refined? The one with higher quality wins."

Hearing this, Zhan Tianming shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

Seeing that, Lu Mingyan laughed in his heart.

Zhan Tianming then looked at Lin Zongzheng Shangjun and said, "May I borrow a pill cauldron?"

"Huh?" Lin Zongzheng Shangjun was startled.

He wasn't the only one who was stunned; the others were as well.

How could an alchemist not bring a pill cauldron with him?

It was unbelievable, right?

Although he was surprised, Lin Zongzheng Shangjun still ordered for a pill cauldron to be brought over.

Fortunately, there were a few pill cauldrons in the Prince Palace.

The Pill Cauldron was not huge: about the size of a palm. It looked very ordinary as well, and there wasn't anything special about it.

Glancing at the pill cauldron, Zhan Tianming grinned.

'Why the hell would a cauldron matter to me?'

Even if he were to be given the best pill cauldron in the world, it would be useless.

All he needed were the ingredients and three seconds to refine pills.

The cauldron was just here to hide what he was actually doing from the others.

Finally, Zhan Tianming looked at Lu Mingyan, who was impatiently waiting and smiled.

"Let's begin, then."
