Chapter 221: Can’t Lose
Chapter 221: Can't Lose
Bai Youyou did not answer immediately, she was actually considering it, which meant that she also wanted to take a gamble. She was not an alchemist, and she was not sure whether Shen Xiang could succeed, and the number of failures would not exceed a hundred times.
"I'd better forget it. I'll talk about it when I'm absolutely sure!"
After thinking about it for a while, Bai Youyou rejected Shen Xiang's invitation. She herself possessed the Xuanyin Divine Vein, which was mainly used to cultivate icy true qi, and she also cultivated the ruthless magic that could make people ignore their relatives, so she was usually cold, but Shen Xiang and Su Meiyao knew that under her cold appearance, she could also be happy, excited, caring, and understand joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.
That was why Su Meiyao felt relieved. She didn't want her senior sister, who had depended on her for many years, to repeat the same mistakes and follow her master's old path, becoming a murderous devil who didn't recognize any relatives.
Su Meiyao also had to admit that Bai Youyou had undergone a great transformation during the time she had been in contact with Shen Xiang.
Shen Xiang was a little disappointed, but still very excited. He rubbed his hands and was full of energy, as if he had been injected with chicken blood. He continued to refine the elixir. He wanted to successfully refine the Yuan Shen Pill, and the number of failures could not exceed one hundred times.
A day passed, and Shen Xiang failed ten times, and still failed at the stage where his consciousness was devoured. This made Su Meiyao secretly excited. Of course, she had also refined the Yuanshen Pill. Although she did not have a soul, she needed to improve her consciousness, and eating the Yuanshen Pill was the best way. When she was refining the Yuanshen Pill, she failed more than six hundred times, and she was so depressed that she almost vomited blood.
Another day passed, and Shen Xiang failed ten times again, but still failed to get to the next level!
"Damn it, do I really have to kiss that fat guy in front of Yun Xiaodao and Xieyanlong?" Shen Xiang began to lose his composure. If he failed, he would have to do something that was as bad as going to hell.
Su Meiyao's giggling sound came from the ring. In the past two days, whenever she thought of what Shen Xiang did after losing, she would laugh heartily. This was the happiest day of her life in all these years.
"It's not worth it, Sister Meiyao, if you lose you can only kiss a handsome man like me. But if I lose, you have to kiss Zhu Rong, a pig!" Shen Xiang's hand holding the medicinal herbs trembled a little. If he lost, he would be doomed. Of course, if he won, he would feel great.
But now he felt that he had lost!
"Haha, you asked for it! Who told you to want to kiss me so much!" Su Meiyao said with a giggle.
Although Bai Youyou didn't say anything and didn't laugh, she was secretly looking forward to the moment when the winner would be decided. She also wanted to see that funny scene.
Shen Xiang shook his head. He knew that if he lost, he would have nightmares every day.
"There are only ten chances!" Shen Xiang told himself in his heart that he must win.
At night, Shen Xiang let out a long sigh. He had failed ninety-eight times.
"You still have two chances!" Su Meiyao said with a smile.
Shen Xiang was very serious at this moment, he must not fail. He did not talk to Su Meiyao anymore, he calmed down to rest, and replayed the moments of failure in his mind, he had to find the key!
After resting, Shen Xiang's eyes flashed with confidence. He put in the medicinal materials skillfully and started to light the fire to refine them. Time passed little by little, but the Flame Dragon Treasure Furnace remained calm. This was a sign of success. Su Meiyao and Bai Youyou were also secretly surprised.
Just as Su Meiyao was secretly gritting her teeth, a muffled sound erupted from Shen Xiang's alchemy furnace, and the furnace exploded. This made Su Meiyao breathe a sigh of relief, and then she chuckled.
Shen Xiang did not despair, he still had one chance, and he had just passed that hurdle. He just failed at the last moment of condensing the pill.
He could understand the reason from the failure just now.
He took a short rest, then put the herbs into the Flame Dragon Furnace again, refining them carefully and calmly, clearing away all distractions and concentrating on the situation inside the furnace.
The Flame Dragon Treasure Furnace had been very stable the entire time. At this moment, beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on Shen Xiang's forehead, because it had reached the critical point of condensing the pill.
When the pill is condensed, the ownerless mental power is very violent. There is only pure mental power in the Yuanshen Pill, but because it is squeezed together, it is very violent and may explode at any time. This is equivalent to compressing the true energy.
However, what Shen Xiang is compressing now is his mental power, so he can easily be counterattacked by that mental power, causing him to have a splitting headache. If he loses concentration for a moment, all his efforts will fail. Therefore, when refining the Yuanshen Pill, condensing the pill is also a very difficult stage to pass. Of course, if one's mental consciousness is very strong, there will be no pressure.
Su Meiyao knew this very well. She concluded that Shen Xiang's consciousness was still a little insufficient, so she dared to gamble. Although she was shocked that Shen Xiang could pass the stage of devouring consciousness so quickly, she was sure that Shen Xiang would not be able to succeed on the hundredth time.
Shen Xiang's head hurt a lot. Just when he felt that he couldn't hold on any longer, the Shinto soul infant in his sea of ??consciousness opened its little eyes and let out a crisp cry. A continuous stream of spiritual consciousness suddenly surged in, making him refreshed. He immediately used that vast spiritual consciousness to suppress the foundation-building pill.
The Flame Dragon Treasure Furnace, which had been shaking violently, suddenly calmed down. At this time, Shen Xiang had entered the final step of condensing the pill. Being able to get here meant that Shen Xiang was not far from success.
What surprised Shen Xiang was that the Shinto soul infant actually helped him at the critical moment and provided him with so much spiritual awareness. He was now looking at the baby inside the Shinto soul infant.
Now he is unable to completely control the baby. If he could, he would have a very powerful spiritual consciousness. According to Long Xueyi, as long as he can reach the point of true fusion with the soul, he can truly take the first step into the divine path.
Generally, one Yuan Shen Dan is produced in one furnace. Su Meiyao said that she could produce two at most, but she herself had never been able to refine it. This was Shen Xiang's first time refining it, and in order to succeed, he of course tried to refine one pill first. However, this was also very difficult, and he failed ninety-nine times!
As long as he fails no more than a hundred times, he wins!
Su Meiyao bit her lips lightly. She had been laughing all day in the past few days, but now she couldn't laugh anymore, and her face was flushed with shame.
"Senior Sister, what should I do? I... I'm a little scared!" Su Meiyao said, leaning in Bai Youyou's arms.
"Just don't go out!" Although Bai Youyou didn't smile, her eyes were full of gloating.
"No, this kid will despise me to death." Su Meiyao shook her head.
"Then go and kiss him, you're not going to have sex with him!" Bai Youyou raised the corners of her mouth slightly. Although her smile was a little stiff, it was very beautiful.
Su Meiyao's pretty face turned red. She didn't expect Bai Youyou to be able to say such open words. She said coquettishly: "Senior Sister, are you laughing at me?"
"You asked for it! Anyway, you are so close to this guy normally, there is nothing wrong with kissing him. Didn't you say that you like him very much? It's just that he is a little weak." Bai Youyou said.
At this time, Su Meiyao heard Shen Xiang's extremely disgusting evil laugh.
"Sister Meiyao, I have refined the Yuan Shen Pill. Hurry up and take a shower, dress nicely and come out to kiss me!"
