C80 Victory Has Been Decided!

'Oh my god!'

'If I can get five or six more of these pills...'

Then...

'Wouldn't the bottleneck that had troubled me for years be gone?!'

Countless thoughts flashed in his head.

Chen Fengmin's old eyes suddenly lit up, and he turned to look at Zhan Tianming. Acting completely out of control, he placed his hands on Zhan Tianming's shoulders and said excitedly, "Little brother, what is the name of that pill? Where did you get it from? Is it possible... Can you tell this old man about the pill?"

Seeing how excited Chen Fengmin was, Lin Zongzheng Shangjun and the others were once again startled.

After all, a single pill managed to make Master Chen lose all his previous pride and decorum.

Could it be...

Although they did not want to believe it, everyone had an answer in their hearts.

'Zhan Tianming was telling the truth.'

Lu Mingyan and Feng Lejiang were as shocked as a criminal on the chair.

They didn't want to believe it.

But...

Reality had just smacked them right across their faces.

After all, they knew about Master Chen Fengmin.

This eccentric old man definitely would not help Zhan Tianming lie.

Master Chen was pinching his shoulders so heavily that they began hurting.

"I say, Master Chen, can you let me go first? My shoulder hurts."

"Oh, oh, sorry, sorry..."

Chen Fengmin immediately released Zhan Tianming's shoulders, revealed an apologetic expression, and apologized... repeatedly.

Zhan Tianming deduced that this Oldie Chen was a nine-star Martial Master stuck at a bottleneck, unable to breakthrough. Otherwise, he would not have lost control of himself just because he consumed a Hundred Flower Jade Dew Pill.

However...

'Don't you have any politeness? Is that how you ask for help?'

'Couldn't you see you were hurting me?'

'Sigh... Forget it.'

'I'm in quite a good mood right now, so I'll forgive you.'

With a smile in his heart, Zhan Tianming said, "Actually, it's just a modified version of Hundred Flower Jade Dew Pill."

"What?"

Chen Fengmin's eyes opened wide, his old face filled with disbelief.

Seeing Chen Fengmin's appearance, no one was surprised.

But...

Something that no one had expected happened next. After hearing Zhan Tianming, Chen Fengmin was only momentarily filled with shock. Soon after, his face revealed a deep pondering look.

"No wonder... No wonder..."

"No wonder when I consumed that pill, I felt like I ate a Hundred Flower Jade Dew Pill. Moreover..."

Chen Fengmin stopped.

Then, he activated the true qi in his body.

Immediately, the fragrance of hundred flowers emanated from his body and filled the entire hall.

This was the specialty of a Hundred Flower Jade Dew Pill.

The fragrance of a hundred flowers enveloped their true qi.

Usually, regardless of the pill's purity, having such a rich fragrance was impossible. However, Chen Fengmin just now purposely emitted the fragrance, and it was overwhelming.

After smelling the fragrance of the hundred flowers, Lin Zongzheng Shangjun and the rest suddenly understood.

As for Chen Fengmin, if he was convinced before, he now believed it like a zealot.

Chen Fengmin did not bother with the others. "There are two main characteristics of the Hundred Flower Jade Dew Pill. First, anyone who consumes it will have the scent of hundred flowers for the next three days. Second, their sweat will turn into frost."

After saying that, Chen Fengmin once again activated his true qi.

Soon, frost could be seen forming on his eyebrows and temples.

"Pheeeeeew."

After releasing a long breath, Chen Fengmin stopped using his true qi.

He cupped his fists toward Zhan Tianming.

"Little brother, I wonder if you can pass the pill formula to me? Of course, I'm not asking you to give it to me for free. I have a rather valuable pill formula that I'm willing to exchange with little brother."

After saying that, Chen Fengmin took out a pill formula from his Cosmic Bag.

Zhan Tianming laughed in his heart.

He wasn't at all against the idea of exchanging the formula for something better.

In any case, the Hundred Flower Jade Dew Pill's formula wasn't of much use to him.

After all, to raise his cultivation, he had to earn experience points, not accumulate true qi.

And Hundred Flower Jade Dew Pill was precisely used to increase true qi.

It was also tasteless, so he couldn't even use them like candies.

However, Zhan Tianming did not immediately agree. Instead, he turned to Chen Fengmin and said, "Master Chen, please first evaluate whether the pill you have consumed earlier is a modified pill or not."

Hearing Zhan Tianming's request, Lu Mingyan and Feng Lejiang's ears pricked up.

Lin Zongzheng Shangjun, Zongzheng Wanyou, Feng Wushuang, and the other two princes also eagerly waited for the answer.

Lin Zongzheng Shangjun said, "Master Chen, is it true?"

Chen Fengmin turned and cupped his fists.

"Your Highness, without seeing the pill formula, I can only say that the chances of this being true are only 80%."

Hearing that, Lin Zongzheng Shangjun immediately handed over the list of ingredients.

Chen Fengmin took it and looked at it.

Momentarily, a puzzled look appeared on his face; soon, it was replaced with one of joy.

'Just a few changes and this became so much more efficient?!'

Finally, he raised his head and looked at Lin Zongzheng Shangjun.

"Your Highness, I am now certain that the pill just now was indeed the modified pill."

"Master Chen, are you sure?" Lu Mingyan asked anxiously.

"That's right, Master Chen. Can you take another look?" Feng Lejiang also seemed quite anxious.

Right now, both of them hoped they had heard wrong.

Unfortunately...

Chen Fengmin said solemnly, "This old man saw it very clearly just now; I will stand by it till death!"

Hearing this, both Feng Lejiang and Lu Mingyan's expressions became very ugly.

The two of them were completely dumbfounded.

Especially Lu Mingyan.

He had made a humiliating bet with Zhan Tianming after all.

If he lost, he would have to kneel down and kowtow to Zhan Tianming three times in front of everyone.

Moreover, Lin Zongzheng Shangjun, Zongzheng Wanyou, Feng Wushuang, and the rest were all witnesses.

'No!

'I absolutely can't kowtow three times.

'Otherwise...

'What respect and pride would I've left after that?'

He probably wouldn't have the face to meet anyone in the future.

Just as Lu Mingyan was thinking this in his heart, Chen Fengmin gave a pill formula to Zhan Tianming.

"Little brother, this old man will keep his word. This pill formula is yours."

Zhan Tianming received Chen Fengmin's pill formula.

He glanced at the formula and then nodded with a smile.

Chen Fengmin laughed in reply, then bid his farewells to Lin Zongzheng Shangjun and left.

From his hurried pace, it was evident that he was in a rush to taste the pills.

In the hall:

Zongzheng Wanyou and Feng Wushuang both looked at Zhan Tianming in surprise.

The two girls were stunned.

They also had some understanding of alchemy.

And they were stunned—precisely—because they knew a thing or two about the profession.

Modifying an already perfect pill formula was ten times harder than creating a new pill from scratch.

After all, which established pill formula hadn't undergone thousands of rounds of tempering and testing?

Anything that could be improved had already been improved upon a long ago.

Furthermore, improving the Hundred Flower Jade Dew Pill's formula was even harder since it was a centuries-old formula.

Slowly...

Zhan Tianming's image in their heart began changing.

Zhan Tianming just smiled lightly, and then he looked at Lin Zongzheng Shangjun.

"Your Highness, I wonder if I won this duel?"
