Wu Shattered Star River

“A heavy reward for success, military law for failure?”

Jiang Han's eyes turned cold; this Fourth Prince was somewhat overbearing.

The process of a Dan Refiner creating pills isn't something that guarantees a hundred percent success. Was he deliberately finding fault, trying to mess with him?

Was the ancient pill formula from Xing Gu, requested by Xing Gu to target him?

Before Jiang Han could speak, Nine Mystic Fairy opened her mouth, “Fourth Prince, the Inverse Blood Pill is an eighth-grade pill. Not to mention Divine Pill Marquis being so young, even a renowned expert of many years wouldn't be certain of refining it. Moreover, Divine Pill Marquis isn't a member of the military; is Your Highness being too harsh on him?”

Nine Mystic Fairy's words made Jiang Han's goodwill towards her rise again. He was about to bow to Nine Mystic Fairy, thanking her for her righteous words, but the Little Royal Grandson was enraged.

He said coldly, “This king is the Heavenly Might General, with the authority to control all soldiers on the Divine-Demon battlefield. Divine Pill Marquis is in a state of bearing his crime; this king can directly conscript both the Bearing-Crime Camp and the Trapping Camp.”

“Even if this king now orders him to lead a lone raid against the Divine and Demon races, he must obey. Jiang Jiu Xuan, why do you repeatedly provoke this king's authority?”

Nine Mystic Fairy's expression sank, but she dared not say anything more. If the Little Royal Grandson really ordered Jiang Han to raid the Divine and Demon races, then Jiang Han would die in vain.

Liu Zheng nodded slightly, saying, “Fourth Prince is correct. According to the Heavenly Laws, Fourth Prince has the right to control all armies, including the Trapping Camp and the Bearing-Crime Camp. Divine Pill Marquis, if you disobey orders, this commander can directly execute you.”

Xing Gu spoke third, a mocking expression on his face. He said, “Jiang Han, aren't you very brave? You can defy the order!”

Lü Qiu Yin added fuel to the fire, saying, “Jiang Han, Fairy Yinghuo isn't here this time; let's see who can protect you.”

Immortal Venerable Wu Yun revealed anger on his face and was about to step forward to argue, but Yu Xi tightly grabbed him.

Jiang Han took a deep breath and smiled heroically, saying, “Isn't it just refining pills? I'll refine them then. Where is the pill formula? Where are the raw materials?”

“Buzz ~”

Xing Gu took out the pill formula, then took out several wooden boxes from his spatial ring. He said, “I have three hundred portions here. Everyone, gather together and see how many portions we can collect?”

Xing Gu recited the raw materials on the pill formula. These raw materials were indeed not particularly scarce; many warriors had them in their spatial rings.

The raw materials needed for this Inverse Blood Pill were not scarce, but many types were needed, and the refining process was very cumbersome. One wrong step, and the pill would be ruined.

Liu Zheng sent hundreds of soldiers to collect the raw materials separately. After collecting them, they finally gathered seven hundred portions of raw materials.

Once the materials were collected, Xing Gu threw the pill formula to Jiang Han and said, “Divine Pill Marquis is known as the number one Dan Refiner of the younger generation; your pill refining ability must be superb, so the pill formation rate must not be low, right?”

“Our requirements aren't high. With seven hundred portions of raw materials, as long as you refine three hundred Inverse Blood Pills, it's not too much, right?”

“Three hundred pills?”

Nine Mystic Fairy rolled her eyes, and Fairy Biyao curled her lip. This time, without waiting for Nine Mystic Fairy to speak, Fairy Biyao spoke first, “The Inverse Blood Pill is an eighth-grade pill. Even if my third grandfather refines this pill, the pill formation rate is only thirty percent. Xing Gu, you're making things too difficult.”

Nine Mystic Fairy continued, “Xing Gu, don't use your power for personal revenge; you're going too far.”

Lu Xingyu nodded, saying, “For eighth-grade pills, a pill formation rate of twenty to thirty percent is already considered very high, and Divine Pill Marquis hasn't refined this type of pill before. You're pushing him too hard; if he can't refine even one pill, then the materials will be wasted for nothing.”

“Hehe!”

Lü Qiu Yin mocked, “Heavenly Pill Marquis and Pill Refiner He are also famous Dan Refiners in the Heavenly Court. They couldn't refine the Heavenly Aperture Pill, but Divine Pill Marquis easily refined thousands of them for Fairy Yinghuo.”

“I think three hundred pills is too few; Divine Pill Marquis can refine at least five hundred pills. Your Highness, what do you think?”

A group of people turned their gazes to the Fourth Prince. Upon hearing the words “Fairy Yinghuo,” the Fourth Prince's expression became very unnatural.

His eyes flickered a few times, and he said, “Let's follow Xing Gu's words. Divine Pill Marquis, go and refine them as soon as possible. If you can refine three hundred pills, this king will reward you handsomely. If you can't refine them, you will be dealt with according to military law.”

“Fourth Prince!”

Immortal Venerable Wu Yun could no longer bear it and rushed over, Yu Xi sighed helplessly and followed.

Before the two could speak, Jiang Han turned around and gave them a stern look, and the two dared not speak anymore.

Jiang Han turned his head to look at the Fourth Prince and asked, “Fourth Prince, if I can't refine them, I'm willing to accept military law! But if I can refine them, what will Your Highness reward me with?”

“Uh…”

Many people were stunned. Jiang Han was actually so confident? Could he really refine three hundred pills?

This was an eighth-grade pill, with a pill formation rate of over forty percent. There weren't many Dan Refiners in the entire Heavenly Court who could do that, right?

The Little Royal Grandson narrowed his eyes and asked, “What do you want? Treasures? Immortal Techniques? Immortal Artifacts? Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures?”

Jiang Han shook his head and said, “I don't want these. If I refine them, how about Your Highness slapping Xing Gu and Lü Qiu Yin in the face in public?”

“……”

The whole place was stunned. Jiang Han's request was so tricky? Slapping Xing Gu and Lü Qiu Yin in the face in public—how would they live in the future?

Lü Qiu Yin was immediately enraged, looking at Jiang Han with cold eyes and saying, “What does your refining pills have to do with us?”

Xing Gu's expression was gloomy, and he didn't speak.

Jiang Han smiled indifferently and said, “With reward, there must be punishment. If I can't refine them, Your Highness can slap me a hundred times, and I'll take it.”

“Actually… I'm making a bet with you. Aren't you trying to mess with me? Then let's gamble!”

“If I can't refine them, I'll let the Fourth Prince punish me however he wants, whether to beat me or kill me. If I refine them, I'll slap you in the face in public. That's very fair, right?”

Seeing Jiang Han's confident appearance, Lu Xingyu, Nine Mystic Fairy, and the others all had some surprise in their eyes.

Jiang Han was so young, yet his Dan Refining skills were so strong. This wasn't a low-level pill; eighth-grade pills didn't have such a high pill formation rate.

Seeing that Xing Gu and Lü Qiu Yin didn't speak, Nine Mystic Fairy smiled and said, “Young Master Xing, Young Master Lü Qiu, what's wrong… are you afraid? Don't dare to bet?”

Xing Gu and Lü Qiu Yin exchanged a look. Both of them were somewhat hesitant, mainly because Jiang Han was too confident.

They didn't understand much about pill refining. If Jiang Han really refined them, and the two of them were slapped in the face in public, their lifelong reputation would be ruined.

The Little Royal Grandson waited for a while and couldn't help but ask, “Xing Gu, Lü Qiu Yin, what do you think?”

Xing Gu gritted his teeth and said, “Five hundred pills. If he can refine five hundred pills, I'll bet with him.”

“That's right!”

Lü Qiu Yin nodded and said, “Jiang Han, do you dare? Five hundred pills, we'll bet with you!”

Seven hundred portions of raw materials, five hundred pills formed—that was a pill formation rate of seventy percent. The two of them didn't believe Jiang Han could refine them.

If Jiang Han didn't dare to accept, then the bet would naturally be invalidated.

Jiang Han hesitated. Of course… this was him acting.

He hadn't not refined eighth-grade pills before; the Heavenly Aperture Pill was also an ancient rare pill. Since the Heavenly Aperture Pill could be refined, this Inverse Blood Pill should be possible.

Seeing Jiang Han's unsightly expression, Yu Xi quickly opened her mouth and said, “Jiang Han, don't bet; this isn't fair! If they lose, they'll only lose face, but if you lose, you might lose your life.”

“That's right!”

Jiang Han raised his head and said, “This isn't fair. If we're going to bet… we need to increase their punishment.”

A smile appeared on the Little Royal Grandson's face, and he asked, “Increase? How do you want to increase it? How about military law as well?”

“Okay!”

Xing Gu and Lü Qiu Yin answered in unison. They were very clear that the Little Royal Grandson would never kill them.

If they lost, at most they would be punished, but if Jiang Han lost, he might be killed. This was very cost-effective for them.

Jiang Han shook his head and, looking at the Little Royal Grandson, said, “No need for military law. If they lose, I want to strip their clothes off, hang them up, and whip them a hundred times. How about it? Do you dare to bet?”
