Chapter 1972: Gambling agreement, sky-high stakes
So he quickly decided on the matter:
"Okay, since you are so confident, let's make a bet on the result of this assessment. As for the bet, let's set 20 lower-grade Yuanshi. Please ask the three deacons to be witnesses!"
Hearing this, the two deacons who were watching the excitement naturally had no objection. On the contrary, Huang Yi Zhenren frowned slightly, as if he wanted to say something but stopped.
After all, in his opinion, Qin Tian might have just ascended from the barren land of the lower world, and he didn't know much about the situation in the spirit world. He didn't know the difficulty of refining the fifth-level elixir at all. For example, most of the alchemists who participated in the fifth-level assessment in the past would fail the first time, and few would pass it in one go.
Besides, although the earth fire of the alliance headquarters is powerful, it also requires extremely high fire control skills. In addition, Qin Tian entered the fire room for the first time and was not familiar with the earth vein fire. It is inevitable that there will be details that he can't take care of.
So with many factors combined, this assessment is not promising at all.
Originally, Huang Yi Zhenren thought that Qin Tian was just trying it out, but he didn't expect that the other party was so confident and wanted to gamble with a fifth-level alchemist. This was really unexpected and even a bit reckless.
Therefore, in order to prevent Qin Tian from being impulsive, Huang Yi Zhenren naturally planned to persuade him kindly. After all, twenty low-grade Yuanshi are not a lot, but for ordinary early-stage Shenhua casual cultivators, it is not a small number.
Unexpectedly, before he could speak, Qin Tian cast a meaningful look at him, which made him subconsciously remain silent.

At the same time, the confident Qin Ming naturally had no objection and accepted the bet on the spot, but those who could cultivate to this level would naturally not be ignorant, and it would be impossible for them to take the bait easily.
So with a gleam in his eyes, he suddenly interrupted and said:
"Wait a minute~! There is no problem with this bet, but the content of the bet should be changed. According to the rules of the alliance, the success rate of only 10% is too low. It should be increased to at least 20%, otherwise it will be difficult at all!"
"In addition, a mere 20 Yuan stones as a bet is too little. I am afraid it is not suitable for our status as alchemists. In my opinion, at least 100 Yuan stones are needed. This is more meaningful...!"
After saying that, Qin Ming did not forget to look at Qin Tian provocatively, and continued in a provocative tone:
"What do you think? May I ask this brother Nangong, do you dare or not? If you admit defeat now, it is not too late. You just need to publicly admit that you are a waste, and I will naturally not care too much...!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked!
After all, no one expected that Qin Ming's appetite was so big. He shouted out a hundred low-grade Yuanshi as soon as he opened his mouth. For a casual cultivator in the early stage of the transformation of the spirit, it was definitely a huge sum of money!
If the bet fails, the price is not small.
The most important thing is that if Qin Tian can't take out the Yuanshi afterwards, it will give the other party an excuse to continue to find fault. I'm afraid this matter will not be easily exposed, and the end will definitely not be good.
If you don't want to pay the price, you can only choose to bow your head and admit defeat. I'm afraid being humiliated is inevitable, so it's a dilemma no matter how you look at it.
And the other party made such a momentum, it's obvious that he wants to bully others by taking advantage of his power, and the means are even more shameless.
As for winning, is it possible?
It's difficult to even assess the fifth level, not to mention that the difficulty is directly doubled. This is almost an impossible task for the first-time assessment of the alchemist.
So in the eyes of others, once Qin Tian agreed to the bet, there is no hope of winning at all!
Therefore, this time, even the two deacons couldn't stand it anymore, and Huang Yi Zhenren directly scolded:
"Qin Ming, don't push your luck......!"
"Brother Nangong, don't agree to him, just focus on the assessment, don't pay any attention to this person!"
..............
At the same time, facing such deliberate difficulties, Qin Tian was speechless, and his eyes became quite complicated.
To be honest, I have seen people who are looking for death, but I have never seen such an active one. He was originally planning how to extort money, but he didn't expect the other party to raise the price on his own initiative. Isn't this asking for abuse?
As the saying goes, if you don't take what is given by heaven, you will suffer the consequences.
Since there is a windfall coming to the door.
How can he, Qin, refuse?
However, he was experienced in this kind of thing, so even though he was very happy in his heart, for the sake of safety, Qin Tian pretended to be angry and embarrassed on the surface, as if he was forced into a desperate situation, and said with some "gritting his teeth":
"Okay, okay! Since you insist on doing this, I will accompany you to the end, and see who will have the last laugh...!"
Hearing this, the three deacons were all shocked.
The Master Huang Yi seemed to want to persuade him again.
But Qin Ming on the opposite side showed a smile of success, and hurriedly spoke first to finalize the matter on the spot:
"Okay! Brother Nangong is really straightforward. In this case, we might as well sign the contract to avoid going back on our word later. I will also trouble the three deacons to be witnesses!"
After saying that, he quickly took out the special animal skin and wolf hair, used his magical power to write in the air, and soon drafted a contract agreement, and took the initiative to leave a mark with his blood essence, and then quickly pushed it in front of Qin Tian, as if he was afraid that the latter would regret it.
Qin Tian's eyes were red, as if he had completely lost his mind. He raised his hand and cast a blood mark on the contract, looking like he was ready to fight for his life.
Unexpectedly, Qin was smart and took the initiative to leave a ban on the storage ring himself, and carefully checked the alchemy materials to confirm that there was no abnormality before he stopped.
Qin Tian let him do it.
The deacon on the scene sighed and felt that this young man was indeed a fool. He was set up by someone and didn't know it. Even Huang Yi Zhenren was disappointed and even began to regret the introduction.
But seeing that the dust had settled, he didn't say anything more.
Only Qin Ming was extremely happy, as if he couldn't wait to see the result, and he kept urging:
"Now that the contract has been signed, we should not delay. I have to make the elixir later, so Brother Nangong should start quickly. I will wait for good news here!"
Hearing this, Qin Tian couldn't help but laugh.
"Since you are so anxious, then I will do as you wish..."
After speaking, Qin Tian didn't pretend anymore. After giving a meaningful look, he turned around and opened the magic circle. When the barrier light curtain was closed again, his figure disappeared without a trace.
