The Crazy Son-In-Law

There were different reactions among the crowd regarding the truthfulness of Xiao Shun’s words, some shouting to get refunds for the useless pellets they had bought, some naturally doubting that Xiao Shun was just trying to grab attention and spew nonsense.

Of course, the voices doubting Xiao Shun sounded more jarring.

After all, Zhou Tianheng was a pillar of the alchemy world, it would not be an exaggeration for many to view him as a god.

The moment one’s beliefs collapse, it leads to madness and hysteria.

“Nonsense! Who do you think you are? A nobody like you, what right do you have to doubt Master Zhou!”

“How could Master Zhou possibly make this kind of mistake? When he became famous with one pellet, you brat were still a puddle of water. Stop trying to grab attention and eyeballs, alright? Instead of boasting here, why don’t you show us that you can refine a top-grade pellet first.”

“Where did this ignorant child come from, so arrogantly saying Master Zhou wasted resources, truly unaware of the immensity of heaven and earth!”

These people were after all the minority, only their voices were louder.

More of the silent crowd started to doubt the pellets auctioned by the Old School Society.

They had spent so much money to buy something whose effects were less than half of what was claimed. Even knowing these pellets could only be acquired from the Old School Society, with no other distributors, they still felt very unhappy.

It gave them a feeling of being deceived, being treated like fools.

Furthermore, from Zhou Tianheng’s expression, it seemed likely that the young man was speaking the truth. Otherwise Zhou Tianheng would not have reacted so agitated and crestfallen.

Xiao Shun slowly walked up to Zhou Tianheng and the other two.

“Let me also remind you, energy pellets require hundred-year wild ginseng, pellets refined from artificially farmed ginseng have effects far too lacking. As for the other ingredients, they are toxic, if not suppressed properly, they can easily take lives.”

“You…” Teng Xian was so angry he couldn’t speak, and could only roar, “Too excessive!”

In the spectator stands, Yi Rui looked at the energy pellets he had spent over ten million on, feeling very complicated. Could these still be consumed?

“By now you should be clear, the energy pellet and reset pellet I showed were refined by my hand, right?” Xiao Shun pressed on uncompromisingly, giving them a taste of their own medicine.

“I readily admit defeat, may I ask who you are, so Zhou may be convinced wholeheartedly.”

Zhou Tianheng knew his skills were inferior, and was quite frank about this point.

But as soon as his words fell, it caused another commotion in the spectator stands.

He was an authority in the alchemy world, yet was admitting inferiority to an unknown youngster. This shattered everyone’s glasses in an instant.

“Is this his real goal?”

In the upper stands, Haitang murmured to himself.

Zhou Tianheng was a trump card of the Middleland Old School Society, yet now he had fallen at Xiao Shun’s feet. In the end, Xiao Shun must be here for revenge. What would his next step be? Would it be aimed at himself? Haitang pondered quietly.

“Master Zhou… how could this be…” Beside him, Yang Zino couldn’t believe the scene on the big screen, stammering incoherently.

The Wen siblings and Wu Jian were similarly dumbstruck as they stared at the big screen, faces full of disbelief.

“Did we misjudge this person? Even Master Zhou admits inferiority… I heard correctly right?” Wen Yan blinked rapidly, mumbling dazedly.

“Impossible, he must be bluffing. He’s so young, how could he be better than Master Zhou.” Wu Jian stated decisively.

The others kept silent, no one echoed his words, evidently not agreeing with this view.

To bluff in front of thousands, this scam would have been too brilliant.

“Sis Wen, looking closely, that guy isn’t too bad right? Just the pellets on him are worth twenty billion. King of Diamonds the Fifth! If you marry him in the future, our Wen family won’t lack for pellets anymore!” Wen Yan whispered cheekily by Wen Ting’s ear.

“So what if he can refine pellets? A cultivator without formidable martial strength can’t be considered a real cultivator. Alchemists can gain riches through their pellet arts, but without mighty martial power, even if he’s as rich as a nation he’s just a mirage. In the end, this world still relies on fists to talk.” Wen Ting dismissed disdainfully.

Jack of all trades, master of none. Those who specialize in pellet arts usually have to forsake martial attainments, at best learning some self-defense techniques. In front of true cultivators they are often crushed in one blow, this is common knowledge in the cultivation world.

Famous alchemists often have large organizations or powerful clans providing protection, providing materials for refining pellets, while the alchemists use pellets to prove their worth. Like Zhou Tianheng and the others.

Of course, looking at the entire nation, the largest cultivation organization is none other than the Old School Society. Thus the Old School Society has recruited almost all famous alchemists under its banner, gaining a monopoly over the entire pellet market.

“I know, Sis Wen is still thinking about Gu Baiyi right? His martial arts are unrivaled, unmatched by anyone. A dragon and phoenix among men! You’ve set your heart on marrying him right?” Wen Yan pouted, murmuring leisurely.

“Brat, less nonsense from you.” Wen Ting laughed lightly.

In the convention hall, Zhou Tianheng had asked about Xiao Shun’s background.

Xiao Shun did not immediately reply, but strode powerfully to the front of the auction stage. His gaze swept over the many cultivators in the spectator stands. For some reason, the entire venue instantly quieted down.

“I am called Xiao Shun.”

Xiao Shun’s voice was calm, yet carried a momentum like toppling mountains and overturning seas.

The venue remained utterly silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Using this venue today, I want to announce two things.”

“First, I am issuing a challenge.”

“Since the Old School Society is holding a tournament, I will take this chance to challenge Gu Baiyi of the Old School Society, and hope that the Old School Society will provide us an opportunity to exchange pointers.”

Boom!

His words exploded like a bombshell in the arena.

Who in the cultivation world did not know of Gu Baiyi?

So young yet already one of the top ten in the Old School Society, a once in a century genius of the cultivation world, the idol in the hearts of many young cultivators, the most dazzling pearl among the younger generation of the cultivation world, unattainable to most.

This guy was truly arrogantly ignorant to the extreme!

Simply overestimating himself!

After what had just happened, many were probably still half believing and half doubtful about Xiao Shun’s pellet arts. But when it came to martial attainments, they absolutely would not think Xiao Shun was qualified to challenge Gu Baiyi.

This was clearly just seeking attention and inflating his worth!

Someone of Gu Baiyi’s stature, how could some random nobody casually challenge him?

It was common knowledge that alchemists could not have very high martial attainments. Since Xiao Shun had shown his talents in refining, no one would believe he also possessed the martial strength to fight Gu Baiyi.

“This is too ridiculous, he actually wants to challenge Gu Baiyi? That’s like smashing eggs against rocks, seeking death!” Wen Yan had an expression like she had seen ghosts, shocked as she exclaimed.
