Wedding Night: I Am Forced To Marry A Dragon Girl-Chapter 871 - Alchemy
Chapter 871: Chapter 871 Alchemy
Yuan Chongwei really hadn’t expected Jiang Xiaobai to show up here.
He had thought he wouldn’t get to see Jiang Xiaobai at all.
At this moment, he was enthusiastically chatting with Jiang Xiaobai.
“Brother Jiang, your arrival this time was really timely!”
“Worthy of someone I, Yuan Chongwei, acknowledge: smart, courageous, and strong. It’s quite fair that you won first place in the last War God Trial!”
Jiang Xiaobai touched his nose. Was this a compliment or a mockery?
He didn’t mind though, seeing Yuan Chongwei was indeed a good thing.
Yuan Chongwei might have been a bit slow, but his strength was no joke. Maybe forming a team with him to stir up some trouble could be fun.
However, at this time, Yuan Chongwei suddenly noticed something.
“Brother Jiang, why are you still at Great Achievement?”
“With your strength and your high talents, how have you not broken through to become a True Immortal yet?”
Jiang Xiaobai immediately felt like he had a black line over his head.
So what, being at Great Achievement and not having become a True Immortal is a flaw now?
Jiang Yu was trying to hold back his laughter on the side.
“What’s so funny?” Jiang Xiaobai said irritably, “Do you not agree? If you’re not convinced, let’s train again, huh?”
“I’m convinced, you’re the only Great Achievement I acknowledge!”
Jiang Yu still couldn’t suppress his laughter.
He really couldn’t imagine how such a formidable talent like Jiang Xiaobai hadn’t become a True Immortal yet?
Now, being at Great Achievement was enough to beat him up, wouldn’t becoming a True Immortal make it easy to fight against a Sky Spirit?
“Come on, Brother Jiang, let’s have a duel and see. I’ve been itching for a fight after that last incident!”
Yuan Chongwei was rubbing his fists, his face filled with excitement as he looked at Jiang Xiaobai.
Jiang Xiaobai nodded as well, eager to see what Yuan Chongwei’s real capabilities were.
So they went outside the city.
And they agreed not to suppress their power levels, treating it like a fight to the death.
At first, Yuan Chongwei felt a little embarrassed, considering he was in the early stages of True Immortal, and Jiang Xiaobai was merely at Great Achievement.
It seemed somewhat like bullying.
However, half an hour later.
Bang!
Yuan Chongwei was sprawled on the ground, his face filled with disbelief.
His body was covered with thin sword wounds, all inflicted by Jiang Xiaobai—actually, Jiang Xiaobai could have easily caused him serious injuries!
For someone like Yuan Chongwei, who relied solely on his physical strength and fists for combat.
A treasure like a Sky Spirit could teach him a real lesson!
The might of a postnatal spirit treasure was absolutely beyond his imagination.
“Impossible, how can you be so strong as a mere Great Achievement, Brother Jiang?”
Yuan Chongwei got up from the ground, unable to believe he had actually lost!
Jiang Xiaobai simply smiled. “Nothing’s impossible; with my strength, I can’t really keep a low profile, can I?”
Everyone immediately had black lines on their heads.
At the same time, Qi Chuan nearby was astounded by Jiang Xiaobai’s strength.
As a holy son of the Imperial Palace, and the palace lord’s biological son, he had immense talent and abundant resources.
He certainly didn’t lack treasures.
Yet it seemed Jiang Xiaobai could easily outclass him with merely one hand.
Utterly terrifying!
Comparing oneself to another could really be maddening!
“Let’s go, let’s go drink. Having witnessed Brother Jiang’s strength, I, Old Yuan, feel even more ashamed!”
“I’m set on making you my brother!”
Another brotherhood forged through a fight!
A group of us returned to the tavern and started drinking. It wasn’t long before Qiongyu walked into the private room.
Seeing a bunch of grown men nearly drunk into a stupor, her face was a picture of speechlessness.
“Yo, who’s this girl? Jiang, is she your wife?”
Yuan Chongwei slurred, “That’s not right. Your wife doesn’t look like this.”
“She is… a friend of mine…”
Jiang Xiaobai’s eyes were blurry: “Qiongyu, what brings you here… Want a drink?”
“No more drinking for me. I’m here to ask for your help with alchemy.”
Qiongyu spoke softly, “If that’s the case, let’s wait until you’re sober.”
After she left, the others didn’t take much notice.
The conversation eventually turned to Yuan Chongwei himself.
“It was my dad who sent me here; he said something about the Wood Spirit World… something about being the dawn of a new era, insisted I come and join in.”
“It’s dull. None of the geniuses here are even a match for me.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yu nodded in agreement, “My master said the same thing. He also suggested I come to the Wood Spirit World, said I should leave my mark.”
This caught Jiang Xiaobai off guard.
Could it be that they weren’t here for ZiLong and YuJie?
But he didn’t dwell on it. After all, he only had two things to do in the Wood Spirit World: find Chen Yulu and cause some trouble with the spirit race.
Yet here he was, accomplishing nothing, and even Tang Yuanhua, the old dog he was supposed to deal with, had slipped away.
In the end, the drinking session concluded with everyone passing out.
When Jiang Xiaobai woke up again, he saw Qiongyu sitting in his room.
“Damn!”
“How did you get in?”
Qiongyu glanced at him indifferently, “You were all drunk. I took each of you back to your rooms.”
“Oh… thanks a lot.”
Jiang Xiaobai, rubbing his head bashfully: “Well, let’s get to that alchemy task then. What kind of pill are we talking about?”
A storage ring appeared in front of Jiang Xiaobai.
“Everything’s inside, including the recipe. Normally, I could have asked another alchemist for help, but this pill is too important. To avoid trouble, I can only trouble you.”
Jiang Xiaobai nodded and skimmed through the recipe.
Such techniques were still quite simple for him, with the skill of the Alchemy Sage at hand.
However, Jiang Xiaobai still studied it carefully. This special pill seemed to be developed to enhance a certain type of energy.

Could it be because of the black spirit power in Qiongyu?
“This was researched by that genius himself. All of us have touched upon the forbidden secrets of the spirit race. The taboo is profound, altering the unique spirit energy in our bodies and changing our constitutions.”
“Why it became like this is uncertain, but our powers have increased significantly. The only trouble is that such power requires the consumption of far too much spirit energy. If there’s not enough, it will devour my essence.”
“Without the restraint of such a pill, I wouldn’t last long.”
“Perhaps, that genius emperor intended to cast off this curse by choosing an inheritor to possess. Sadly, he didn’t expect that the inheritor would still be an outcast of the spirit race, one cursed by taboo.”
Hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai nodded slightly.
“In that case, you’ll let me have a look, won’t you?”
Without any unnecessary words, Qiongyu extended her hand towards Jiang Xiaobai.
Her wrist was smooth as jade, slender and pale, seemingly delicate to the touch.
Jiang Xiaobai dared not entertain other thoughts as he calmed his mind and used his spirit energy to examine Qiongyu’s condition.
Her meridians, dantian, and every limb were infused with a special power.
Black threads densely woven in every corner, like roots entrenched in the soil, drawing sustenance.
“This is tough. This power has become one with you; there’s no way to clean it out.”
“But what’s strange is what exactly this power is. It seems somehow incomplete?”
