Chapter 333 Baili Xie Lost? (1)_1
"If you’re going to buy, then buy; if not, leave immediately," Bei Wuchang urged upon hearing Sha Bao’s words.
"Buy? How could I not buy? I came here especially for this. I’ll bet ten million Purple Crystal Coins on Shayan winning," Sha Bao said with a smile, then took out a Crystal Card and handed it to Bei Wuchang. Watching people note his name down at Bei Wuchang’s instruction made Sha Bao smirk internally; Shayan was already capable of concocting Ninth Grade Advance Level Elixirs, and he was sure to be the first place winner of the competition. This time he planned not only to move the Alchemist Guild’s headquarters to the West Continent but also to make those old men, Black and White Impermanence, cough up blood in frustration. He was wagering ten million, which meant they would have to pay him fifty million when he won. The very thought was exhilarating!
Bei Wuchang was also thrilled, as the ten million in his eyes was already as good as his. He wondered what Sha Bao’s confident expression would turn into upon learning the final results.
Every day, a continuous stream of people came to take part in Bei Wuchang’s betting pool, making his heart tremble with joy. All this money! Amid the eager anticipation of the entire city, the Alchemy competition’s grand final arrived as scheduled.
On the last day of November, the Alchemy competition’s grand final took place in Feisha City. People from the East and West Continents, those who could make it wanted to come. A massive influx of people forced the City Lord of Feisha City to restrict the identities and numbers of those arriving. So, for the average person, coming to Feisha City was now an impossibility.
The competition venue to the east of Feisha City was already packed to the rafters. The phrase ’rubbing shoulders’ wasn’t enough to describe the scene. When Dugu Qianye and Green Emperor Xiahou arrived at the venue, they almost couldn’t squeeze into the competition area. In the end, it was only because the competition organizer was sharp-eyed and spotted them, calling for people to make way, that they were barely able to get in.
Soon after, Shayan also squeezed into the venue in a disheveled state. Seeing Dugu Qianye and Green Emperor Xiahou together, he snorted and sat down in the designated rest area. The crowd’s cheering at the sight of him made his expression quite smug.
Shayan had been in the West Continent for some time and was already well-known, so everyone was fairly familiar with his Alchemy level. Green Emperor Xiahou had consistently held the second spot in previous contests, so people had a good amount of confidence in him. Only Dugu Qianye was relatively unknown, without any particularly notable performance in the competition, leading many to doubt her chances. Bei Wuchang had set up the betting pool for some time, yet the bets on her were less than one-tenth of those on the others.
