Chapter 313: Marrow Refinement Pill
Without waiting for Jiang Feng to answer, Chu Xiaotian spoke first.
"This time I want to gamble dice with you! I know you're also a Gambling Technique expert, but when it comes to dice, you're definitely not my opponent!"
When he said that, many who knew Chu Xiaotian nodded in agreement.
Everyone knows that Chu Xiaotian's specialty is dice; his Listening to Dice and Controlling Dice skills are unrivaled among the younger generation.
Gambling dice with him, even a Gambling Saint‑level master, could end in a crushing defeat.
When Duanmu Hongjie heard this, he hurriedly reached out to grab Jiang Feng's arm,
"Jiang Ge, let's not gamble with him! We've already won money! Chu Xiaotian's dice‑shaking skill is a Demon Rogue; his greatest strength is Listening to Dice, and the Dice Cup is practically invisible to him. No matter how you play, you'll lose!"
The last time he gambled with Chu Xiaotian, he fell because of the dice.
Chu Xiaotian can call out the numbers with his eyes closed; he lost miserably then, and still feels a lingering dread recalling it.
Ma Jian also nodded repeatedly beside them.
"Yes, Jiang Ge, Duanmu is right! Chu Xiaotian's dice skill is famous throughout Jiangbei; it's said that even his Master, the Gambling Saint Gao Yi, claims his dice talent is unmatched!
The two of them exchanged words, desperately trying to persuade Jiang Feng, fearing he might impulsively agree.
Chu Xiaotian watched the two pulling Jiang Feng and urging him, his expression growing increasingly urgent.
Seeing Jiang Feng seem swayed, Chu Xiaotian's heart raced, and he shouted loudly.
"I'll bet ten hundred million with you! Do you dare!"
"Boom!"
The words cracked like thunder on a plain, exploding through the gambling hall; everyone widened their eyes, unable to believe their ears.
"One billion? My god! Young Master Chu, is he crazy?"
"A fifty‑million gambling game is already rare in Jiangnan; ten hundred million? That's an astronomical figure!"
"Even if the Chu Family in Jiangbei is wealthy, ten hundred million should be his entire fortune, right? How dare he gamble that high?"
Everyone was stunned by Chu Xiaotian's grand gesture.
Ten hundred million—it's an astronomical number not only for the onlookers, but even for a wealthy Young Master like Chu Xiaotian, it's certainly no small sum.
Chu Xiaotian knew it was crazy, but he simply couldn't accept losing like that.
Moreover, he was convinced that no one could remain indifferent to ten hundred million!
Jiang Feng would definitely gamble with him!
What he didn't expect was that after hearing the ten hundred million figure, Jiang Feng's face showed no ripple at all.
It was as if ten hundred million were merely ten copper coins in his eyes.
Duanmu Hongjie sneered outright, his gaze at Chu Xiaotian full of contempt.
"You idiot, do you know who Jiang Ge is? Do you really think ten hundred million counts as money to him?"
He deliberately paused, raised his voice so everyone could hear.
"Let me tell you! My Jiang Ge is an Alchemist; do you even understand what an Alchemist is?"
"He can casually pull out a few Elixirs to sell, each bringing hundreds of billions in revenue! Ten hundred million? To Jiang Ge, that's not even enough to fill a tooth gap!"
"If Jiang Ge weren't trying to teach you a lesson, to vent his anger, would you really think he'd bother gambling fifty million with you?"
Duanmu Hongjie's words were another bomb, exploding in the gambling hall; the whole room fell silent, a pin could be heard dropping.
Everyone stared with wide eyes, looking at Jiang Feng in disbelief, their faces full of shock.
They had imagined Jiang Feng might have an extraordinary background, but never expected he was an Alchemist!
After all, to them an Alchemist is a legendary being, rarer and more esteemed than top aristocratic families or Martial arts experts.
A single ordinary Elixir can sell for hundreds of thousands to a million, let alone premium Elixirs that fetch tens of millions, hundreds of millions, or even become priceless!
Duanmu Hongjie said Jiang Feng could casually pull out a few Elixirs and earn hundreds of billions, and it truly wasn't an exaggeration!
No wonder Ma Jian and Duanmu Hongjie treated him with such respect; a figure this impressive not seizing the chance to cling to his leg would be a real idiot!
Chu Xiaotian was completely stunned, frozen in place.
He truly hadn't expected Jiang Feng to be an Alchemist!
No wonder Jiang Feng dismissed ten hundred million; he has that kind of background!
In an instant, Chu Xiaotian felt a bit of regret.
After all, he and Jiang Feng have clearly become enemies now; if this reaches the Chu family, the elders will likely not spare him.
But letting it end like this, he still isn't willing to accept.
At this point, he's already on a tiger he can't dismount.
The crucial thing is, if he backs down now, he'll never lift his head in the circle again.
Damn it! So what if he's an Alchemist?
An Alchemist still can't win over a hundred million from me!
And certainly can't treat me like a stinky dog for sport!
Chu Xiaotian gave a cold smile, his mind instantly reaching a decision.
"So he's an Alchemist, no wonder he's so confident! Then it's even easier—let's gamble Elixirs, how about it?"
As his words faded, Chu Xiaotian slowly raised his hand and pulled a delicate small golden box from his coat.
He gently opened the golden box.
A rich, mellow exotic fragrance wafted from the box, instantly filling the entire gambling hall.
Inside the golden box lay an Elixir the size of a longan.
The Elixir was entirely translucent white, emitting a faint rainbow halo—clearly not an ordinary item!
"What a fragrant Elixir!"
People around gasped in amazement, their eyes full of curiosity.
Even someone who doesn't understand elixirs can see that this elixir is extraordinary.
Chu Xiaotian's eyes carried a hint of provocation as he waved the golden box in his hand.
"Since you're an Alchemist, you should know what kind of elixir this is, right?"
Jiang Feng's gaze fell on the elixir inside the golden box; his eyes flickered slightly, then he gave a faint nod.
"Not surprisingly for Jiangbei Chu Family, they even have a Supreme Bone Marrow Refining Pill like this."
The crafting of a Bone Marrow Refining Pill is extremely difficult, and the required medicines are all exceedingly rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
Even an Alchemist might not be able to produce it; for Chu Family to possess such an elixir is indeed no small feat.
Chu Xiaotian, hearing that Jiang Feng recognized the elixir, showed a smug smile on his face.
"Consider yourself perceptive! This Bone Marrow Refining Pill is priceless! So, Jiang Feng, we bet this round on it—do you dare?"
This Bone Marrow Refining Pill isn't his; it was bought at a high price by Chu Family from Medicine King Valley.
It is meant to restore the vitality of Chu Family's ancestor who has already reached Master Peak, and to attempt to break through the Great Master Realm.
It can be said that this elixir almost embodies one third of Chu Family's fortune.
If he loses, Chu Xiaotian shouldn't even think about going home; he might as well find a rope and hang himself, since going home is death anyway.
But Chu Xiaotian has no other choice now.
He must win!
As expected, Jiang Feng glanced at the Bone Marrow Refining Pill and gave a faint nod.
"This elixir is fine; I'm betting with you…"
While saying that, Jiang Feng was about to take his seat at the betting table, but at that moment Chu Xiaotian laughed and stopped him.
"Wait, I've put out a Bone Marrow Refining Pill; what elixir can you bring to bet against me?"
As soon as he said that, everyone turned to Jiang Feng, their faces full of curiosity.
Indeed, Chu Xiaotian has already produced a Bone Marrow Refining Pill; this Alchemist must be offering an elixir of what caliber!
