Chapter 25 - 25: 25 – If You Play, Play Big
If Jiang Xiaobai did not boost his aura using those things, then he was truly a unique and extraordinary genius in cultivation, more monstrous than a monster itself!
As an elder guiding the disciples in the Dragon Valley in cultivation, he knew very well that even for an ordinary mortal with a celestial spiritual root, it would take a long time to guide Qi into his body.
At least six months, if not a year.
Even then, they would need a large amount of precious pills to cultivate, widen their meridians, otherwise, even after two or three years, they might not be able to guide Qi into their bodies.
The Third Elder’s disciple LingEr was a classic example. She had a divine spiritual root and had been with the Third Elder for over two years, improving the strength of her meridians by using a special method every day.
But she still hadn’t managed to guide Qi into her body, and could only slightly sense the spiritual energy.
After all, she was too young to fully utilize her advantages.
“Young man, since no one believes you, would you allow me to verify it?” The Seventh Elder said with an indifferent smile, seemingly unaffected by anything.
“Of course, the Seventh Elder is welcome to verify it anytime.” Jiang Xiaobai responded with a smile.
After all, his cultivation was genuine. What’s there to be afraid of?
“He really has a death wish. Do you think those trinkets on you can fool the Seventh Elder? You can confess now while you still have the chance!” sneered Ao Tianheng.
“Ao Tianheng, shut up!”
Ao Cheng coldly huffed. He glared at Ao Tianheng, his face dark, “Since this mortal is so confident, you should stop talking nonsense.”
He was already in a precarious situation. He could only hope that Jiang Xiaobai was really okay, otherwise, no matter what happened, his face would be utterly lost today.
He had no choice but to stick to this difficult path and continue to believe in Jiang Xiaobai.
“Fine then, we will trouble the Seventh Elder to help us discern the truth.” Ao Tianheng said disdainfully.
His gaze seemed as if he had already seen Jiang Xiaobai being exposed. Just at this moment, a figure suddenly fell from the sky, it was Ao Yan who had heard of the situation.
She looked indifferent, as if she was watching a play, and walked directly to Jiang Xiaobai’s side.
“You sure about this?” Ao Yan asked indifferently.
Jiang Xiaobai smiled and touched his nose, “Don’t worry, I am sure!”
Ao Yan nodded, then turned to look at Ao Cheng.
Only then did Jiang Xiaobai noticed that when Ao Yan appeared, Ao Cheng’s entire demeanor changed.
He became extraordinarily well-behaved.
Before Jiang Xiaobai could react, Ao Yan suddenly lost her temper and slapped
Ao Cheng’s head.
“You damned fool, did you cause all this?”
“How many times have I told you not to act so recklessly? Are you trying to give me a heart attack, you incompetent fool!” As she spoke, Ao Yan fiercely slapped Ao Cheng’s head again.
The surrounding people were all astounded at this sight, and nobody dared to step forward. Many people involuntarily took a few steps back.
Even though Ao Yan had been calm for a while, everybody knew her temper!
At this moment, Jiang Xiaobai understood why everyone was afraid of Ao Yan.
She was truly fiercer than a female T-Rex!
However, Jiang Xiaobai felt unexpectedly satisfied, because he realized that Ao Yan had been unusually gentle with him all this while.
After hitting Ao Cheng twice, Ao Yan did not even glance at Ao Tianheng, but looked towards the Seventh Elder.
“We would like to trouble the Seventh Elder to help us discern the truth.”
“Wait!”
At this moment, Ao Tianheng suddenly shouted, “What if this brat tries to trick
“Then he’s out of Dragon Valley!” Ao Tianheng said with a sneer.
“Getting kicked out of Dragon Valley? Isn’t that punishment too lenient?”
Someone in the crowd voiced their dissatisfaction, “How dare such a mortal mock Young Master Tianheng in Dragon Valley. He clearly has no respect for Dragon Valley. In my opinion, death would be the best punishment.”
“Exactly, this brainless fool causes quite a lot of trouble. He deserves to be slapped to death.”
“Princess, even if he is your husband-to-be, you can’t shield him from today’s situation.”
“The seventh elder, we beg you to discover the truth as soon as possible so we can dispose of this reckless person.”
Ao Yan frowned as she observed the situation, her gaze turned to Jiang Xiaobai.
To be honest, she too was a little doubtful that Jiang Xiaobai might be orchestrating some mischief.
However, after learning about Jiang Xiaobai’s character, she understood that he wouldn’t stoop that low.
“Ao Yan, just let it be. He’s nothing more than a mortal who is still reckless. What is there to be worried about?” Ao Tianheng laughed.
“Moreover, the heir of the ancient clan will arrive soon, this kid is sure to die. Do you think that by gaining the favor of the Dragon Valley elders it would make any difference?”
“Anyway, he is going to die. Since he wants to cause a ruckus, this young master will accompany him in his game.”
Ao Yan ignored Ao Tianheng and coldly snorted.
“So what about the ancient clan? While I’m here, let’s see what they dare to do.”
“Let the investigation begin.”
“Seventh elder, why don’t we bring an end to this farce?” Ao Tianheng suggested with a smile.
He wasn’t confident in Jiang Xiaobai’s abilities. If he really was capable, why was he only a common man?
And how could Ao Yan have caught him so easily?
The seventh elder just chuckled and walked up to Jiang Xiaobai: “It’s not too late for you to back out now.”
“What do I have to regret? My skills are authentic, my conscience is clear. Elder, you can examine in peace.” Jiang Xiaobai confidently said. Seeing his confidence, Ao Yan nodded. This kid was indeed interesting.
“Congratulations, host, you’ve activated a choice!”
“Choice one: Continue developing smoothly, reward, one foundation- establishing pill. ”
“Choice two: Raise the stakes, and at the end of it slap your opponent, reward, the “Meandering Veins Record.”
“Choice three: Admit to fraud on the spot, reward, A Strand of Merit (ten strands of merit can successfully solidify a body part of the Golden Body).”
Seeing the options in front of him, Jiang Xiaobai chose the second one without hesitation. Only if he was crazy would he choose the third.
At the same time, the seventh elder was on the verge of inspecting Jiang Xiaobai’s internal condition.
“Wait!” Jiang Xiaobai suddenly exclaimed.
“What, you’ve lost your nerve now?” Ao Tianheng found it quite amusing: “There’s no turning back now, mortal. From the moment you sought me out, you were bound to lose.”
Ao Cheng’s heart paused, could Jiang Xiaobai really be bluffing?
“Who said I’m backing down? I just suddenly feel quite displeased. The original agreement never suggested such complexities.” Jiang Xiaobai snapped.
“What are your conditions then?”
Jiang Xiaobai laughed: “The original bet was for you to wash my clothes, right? How about we make this one more exciting… not only do you wash my clothes, but I also get to slap you ten times.”
As soon as he said this, the crowd was in an uproar.
“Has water seeped into your brain, or do you genuinely believe no one can see through your petty tricks?”
Ao Tianheng scoffed, “What are you going to bet with?”
“If I’m found guilty of fraud, I will not only offer you my life but also give you a hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones!”
“What a joke, do you even have that many spirit stones?” Ao Tianheng scoffed again.
“I do!”
At that moment, Ao Cheng suddenly yelled out.
His scream left everyone dumbfounded. Ao Yan’s face turned icy cold with anger. She wanted to slap him to death.
He’s stirring up trouble again!
