Lord of Bones

Chapter 589 Millionaire Bet
The light on the elixir dissipated, and the face of the beautiful woman in the red dress stiffened instantly, as if being fixed by an invisible force, and her whole body became still for an instant.

After a while, Li Yuan looked at the beautiful woman in red dress who was still stunned and reminded in a low voice: "Can we announce the results?
"I think there must be many people at the scene who don't know this elixir."

Hearing Li Yuan's reminder, the beautiful woman in the red dress came back from the shock.

Her face darkened, she coughed twice, and announced the result loudly with a hint of reluctance in her voice.

When the results were announced, the strong men who had recognized this elixir had expressions of disbelief on their faces, as if they were still trying to digest this astonishing fact.

The originally quiet atmosphere in the entire venue was instantly broken, like a basin of cold water poured into a ladle of molten iron, boiling instantly.

There were exclamations and comments one after another, and the scene was chaotic.

The beautiful woman in the red dress stood aside, her face gloomy, and a trace of anger flashed in her eyes.

However, no matter how dissatisfied she was, the facts were before her eyes and she could only accept the result helplessly.

.........

Xie Yao stepped into the VIP room with a shocked expression on his face, as if he had seen an incredible miracle.

It took him a while to come back to his senses, and with a tremor in his voice, he struggled to say a few words: "He... did he really guess it right?"

"Although I don't want to believe this result, the facts are in front of me. He did guess it right." Xie Yiming said with a wry smile, a complicated expression on his face.

Even he had a very small chance of guessing it right, not to mention that Li Yuan gave the answer so quickly.

Xie Yiming couldn't help but said to himself: "Is he really from the Li family in Longyang?"

"Could it be that he and the Zheju Zhu family are operating secretly?" Xie Yao frowned and guessed.

Xie Yao found it hard to believe that a person from the Longyang Li family, who was almost at the bottom, could actually guess the answer in the second-level Biandan.

Xie Yiming waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Zheju Zhu's reputation is very important.

"They are ranked twenty-sixth and are very powerful. They will definitely not find the Longyang Li family, who is almost at the bottom and is ranked ninety-ninth, to cooperate with them to control Biandan.

“Such behavior, if discovered, would cause significant damage to their reputation.

"Besides, it doesn't do much good for second-class alchemy practitioners to tell you the correct answer."

After hearing this, Xie Yao was still dissatisfied, but he also knew that what Xie Yiming said made sense.

He snorted coldly and said with a hint of anger and dissatisfaction: "Three games in a row, I don't believe he can continue to guess correctly."

He just took part in Class C but failed.

At the same time, Tan Wenshu, who was waiting for Li Yuan below, was also extremely shocked.

Although it was her first time to come to the Huangxuan Yuanzhou run by her family, she had heard something about the Alchemy Society since she was a child.

By smelling the fragrance and identifying the elixir, even the Emperor of Medicine would not be able to tell the answer as quickly as Li Yuan.

And not only is the name correct, but the quality is not bad at all.

Tan Wenshu was shocked and looked at Li Yuan's back with admiration and curiosity in his eyes.

The ability displayed by Li Yuan was like witnessing the elixir person putting the elixir into the jade box.

His performance was more like going through the motions than a true Bendan.

This kind of performance aroused the suspicion of many powerful people.

They suspected whether there was some unknown collusion between the banker and Li Yuan, which led to the abnormal result of this B-level pill identification.

The entire venue fell into chaos, with various sounds coming and going, and the noise was endless.

In a room in the top circle of VIP rooms, several figures were silently paying attention to what was going on below.

Among them, a short, slightly stooped old man was particularly eye-catching.

His eyes were slightly closed, as if he was meditating on something, and the aura exuding from his body was more powerful than the second elder of the Tan family.

Suddenly, the old man murmured: "Longyang Li family...why did such a junior appear suddenly?

"Even I can't see through it, which is kind of interesting."

At the same time, the beautiful woman in the red dress raised her head from time to time and cast her gaze towards the room where the old man was.

Her eyes were full of complex emotions, including awe, doubts and dissatisfaction with Li Yuan.

"Dang Dang Dang——"

As the bell rang several times, the smile on the beautiful woman's face in the red dress disappeared, replaced by a faint gloominess.

She straightened her back, her voice was slightly cold, and said loudly to the audience: "I, who live in the Zhu family, have always valued credibility. How can I make fun of my own reputation?

"If this is true, how come the owner of this Yuan Ark has cooperated with us so far?"

She paused slightly, glanced at everyone, and continued: "Bian Dan's bet is purely voluntary.

“If anyone feels that there is something inside, they don’t need to place a bet, or choose something else.

"The choice between right and wrong is all between you.

“In the last scene, some people chose to believe that Li Yuan could identify the elixir.

"We will start his second game now..."

The beautiful woman in the red dress seemed not to want to dwell on this issue, and was secretly convinced that Li Yuan could remain correct in the next two games.

After all, there are 300 kinds of elixirs with all the qualities available. Even if they have been trained for many years, there may not be any alchemist who can do it.

What's more, there are 900 kinds of elixirs in the three games. With just the insignificant smell, you can imagine how difficult it is to get the names and qualities of them all right.

Li Yuan stood quietly in the field, as if isolated from the noisy world.

For him, knowing the elixir by smelling it does not require long-term deduction.

Because he has deduced it in advance, after each quality of elixir is refined, combined with the spirit's memory, the unique smell will immediately appear in his mind with the corresponding name and quality.

The next two sessions of Dan Dan are exactly the same as the first session.

Li Yuan effortlessly stated the name and quality of the elixir, his voice clear and firm.

His performance shocked all the Yuan practitioners present.

Li Yuan of Longyang Li Family, this name is firmly remembered by everyone tonight.

As the clear voice of the beautiful woman in red dress announced the result of Li Yuan's third game, the Yuan practitioners in the field seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and stood up together.

Their cheers surged like ocean waves, one wave higher than the next, shaking the entire venue.

Those doubtful voices from before gradually dissipated in the continuous cheers.

The doubts in everyone's hearts were broken and replaced by admiration and admiration for Li Yuan.

The performance of the audience and participants caught Li Yuan off guard.

He thought it was just an ordinary pill identification, but he didn't expect it to cause such a big sensation.

Li Yuan stood there, feeling countless looks and cheers, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.

Presumably, all the families in Wenhe will receive the news soon, and the Longyang Li family will also rise with Li Yuan's reputation.

However, Longyang Li did not know about all this.

They didn't know yet that there was such an outstanding junior hidden in the family.

Li Yuan just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to gain some benefits, but now it seems that it is not suitable to stay here for a long time.

He must leave as soon as possible to avoid excessive attention and unnecessary trouble.

"Three games have passed... I wonder if the profit from my correct identification of the elixir can be settled?" Li Yuan's eyes circulated in the field, and finally settled on the graceful and beautiful woman in a red dress.

His words were buried in the sound, and only the beautiful woman in the red dress could clearly capture them.

The beautiful woman's eyes were full of surprise. She had never encountered three consecutive second-level wins.

Her eyes unconsciously moved to a VIP room at the top.

After a moment, the beautiful woman withdrew her gaze and said softly to Li Yuan: "Master, please wait a moment. The Zheju Zhu family has always valued credibility and will never let it go."

Not long after, a short, slightly stooped old man slowly walked into the Bendan field.

This person is the beautiful woman in the red dress who has been staring at the room.

Li Yuan frowned slightly. He felt the powerful aura exuding from the old man. He was obviously a strong man who had reached the half-step realm.

Behind the old man, there were four middle-aged men and women, whose auras were equally powerful, and they were all at the peak of the late Yuanshen realm.

With the arrival of the old man, the originally noisy Alchemy Field instantly became silent.

The old man walked up to Li Yuan with a smile on his face, stretched out a withered palm, holding a Yun Ring on it, and said gently: "Little friend Li Yuan, this is the reward you got for three rounds of elixir identification.

"After deducting related expenses and the profit sharing given to the five major families of this Yuanzhou, the total is 1.3 million earthly stones."

Li Yuan didn't pay much attention to the betting situation above before, but now he couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this number.

A Bendan meeting was so profitable, especially since he only participated in three of them.

1.3 million Earth Yuan Stone is undoubtedly a huge sum of money for Li Yuan now.

He didn't know what an exaggerated achievement it was to win three games in a row in Class B. There were too many gamblers with small fortunes.

"Thank you, old sir."

Li Yuan cupped his hands towards the old man, looked at the Yun Ring in the latter's hand, felt the heavy breath of Earth Element Stone in it, and felt an indescribable excitement in his heart.

However, before he could recover from this joy, Zhu Xianyi made an unexpected suggestion with a smile.

"Little friend, I wonder if you have the courage to gamble with me again and have another argument?"

Zhu Xianyi's voice echoed in the alchemy field, as if carrying an irresistible magic power.

Li Yuan was slightly startled. He understood that identifying elixirs was like gambling, and every game was full of unknowns and variables.

When it is proposed by a strong person who is half-step into the pattern realm, its significance goes far beyond the ordinary game of identifying elixirs.

"How to bet? How to tell?" Li Yuan took a deep breath, suppressed the throbbing in his heart, and asked in a deep voice.

Zhu Xianyi smiled slightly, looked at the Yun Ring that shone alluringly in his withered palm, and said: "Let's take these 1.3 million Earth Element Stones as a bet.

"If my friend identifies the elixir correctly again, in addition to these Yuan stones, I will give you another 1.3 million Earth Yuan stones.

"Of course, if it's wrong, these Yuanshi friends will have to stay."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire Bendan Field began to boil again.

A huge bet of one million Earth Yuan Stones was unheard of for most Yuan practitioners present.

Even those strong men who had half-stepped into the pattern realm couldn't help but look surprised.

Li Yuan crossed his arms across his chest and rubbed his chin with one hand. His eyes wandered on the Yun ring in Zhu Xianyi's hand, as if he was weighing the pros and cons of this gamble.

His brows furrowed slightly, obviously deep in thought. After a moment, he raised his head and asked, "Do you know the first-class elixir?"

A simple sentence made the entire alchemy field fall into silence.

Zhu Xianyi waved his hand gently, with a teasing smile on his face, and said: "In the three rounds of elixir identification, I have chosen nearly one-third of the elixirs.

“The remaining two thousand kinds, with my little friend’s strength, I’m afraid it’s not a problem.

"This time, let's change the game."

"Change the game?" Li Yuan looked at the old man doubtfully.

Zhu Xianyi slowly took back the Yun Ring and said in a deep voice: "I have a treasure elixir here with thousands of treasure medicines.

"As long as you can tell which kind of medicine is contained in this elixir, you win, how about it?"

As soon as these words came out, even Xie Yiming, who was sitting in the VIP room, couldn't help but stand up from his stool and cursed: "Zhu Xianyi, this old fox, clearly wants to default on his debt."

Bao Dan is different from Xuan Dan and is extremely rare.

Even Xie Yiming, the Medicine King, has seen very few treasure pills.

Unless it was an elixir that he often refined, there was absolutely no way to tell what materials were used in it.

Xie Yao also frowned and thought to himself: "If that boy accepts the bet, no matter what the final result is, I, Xie Yao, will sincerely admire him."

After three second-class Biandan performances, Li Yuan had left a deep impression on them and was regarded as Xie's honored guest.

After the three games, the arrogance in Xie Yao's heart was long gone, replaced by respect for Li Yuan.

Tan Wenshu, who was on the sidelines, clenched his jade hands and bit his red lips, already standing in the same camp as Li Yuan.

The surrounding air seemed to be frozen, and everyone waited with bated breath for Li Yuan's answer.

Confidence flashed in Li Yuan's eyes and he said: "If I win, add one more thing and tell me the recipe for this elixir, not the recipe.

"This shouldn't be difficult, right?"

In Ling's memory, there are countless precious pills and medicines.

It’s just that there is no elixir, not even a prescription.

But with Li Yuan's ability, it is probably not difficult to combine the two to deduce one.

The reason why he wanted the prescription was just to verify whether his deduction was correct.

"Is that kid crazy?"

"I really don't know what to think. This level of elixir identification is much more difficult than level A."

"Too greedy!"

"You don't want 1.3 million Earth Essence Stones just because you don't want them?"

……

There was a lot of discussion in the field, and everyone felt sorry for Li Yuan's unexpected answer.

"Is Li Yuan overconfident?"

"Don't he know how precious the treasure pill is?"

"I think this is basically a scene played by Zheju Zhu and Li Yuan, deliberately creating a topic."

The doubts that had been suppressed by Li Yuan's three consecutive wins now came flooding back.

However, Zhu Xianyi ignored these doubts.

The corner of his mouth raised a strange arc and said: "Just follow what my little friend said."

"Dang Dang Dang——"

The long bell echoed like a bell, penetrating the hustle and bustle, making the originally bustling Bendanchang silent for an instant.

There was a solemn atmosphere in the air, making the heartbeats of all the Yuan practitioners quicken.
