t to argue, unfortunately no one will listen. All of this was arranged beforehand by Lu Chaoyang."Lu Zhaozong sighed and said, "This is also my fault for being too arrogant on weekdays. I don't take a...Ye Bufan smiled faintly: "Whether it is or not, just try it and you'll know."

Zhang Qing said: "Since the properties don't match, how can lily grass solve it"

Ye Bufan shook his head: "Isn't that simple Just change to a herb with an attribute that doesn't clash, and the effect will be almost the same. For example, Qianxu Flower."

"Alright, then I'll start refining it."

Zhang Qing is not a indecisive person, if she says she will do it, she will do it. She reported the name of Qinghua Pill and sent out two batches of medicinal materials in the teleportation array. Finally, she started to refine the pill.

Ye Bufan stood beside him, beginning to give instructions. The other person was a fourth-rank Xian Dan master, and there were still many areas that needed improvement to reach the fifth rank.

"You're not quite right here, the heat for refining the medicinal herbs isn't enough…"

"This won't work either, you need a low flame, not a high flame..."

"And here, you need to reverse the order of the two herbs for a better effect..."

Zhang Qing had originally held a half-believing, half-doubting attitude. But when Ye Bufan pointed out several flaws in his alchemy techniques one after another, he had no more doubts left and was completely convinced.

If you're not a master or someone with extremely high alchemy skills, it would be impossible to achieve such expertise.

Subsequently, the entire batch of pills was refined in an orderly and methodical manner, with no errors or setbacks.

Soon it was time for the pill fusion stage. Zhang Qing used his immortal yuan to control the purified Jin Qiong Flower and the juice of Qing Yun Cao, slowly bringing them closer together, and at the same time added Qian Xu Cao to fuse them.

At this moment, he held his breath, extremely nervous. This was the most crucial stage in refining the elixir.

Before that, he had several failed attempts, which left a deep shadow in his heart.

"Don't worry, trust me, everything will be fine."

The sound of Ye Bufan's voice reaching his ears brought him much comfort. As it turned out, he was fine. The pill had merged extremely smoothly and there were no complications whatsoever.

The two main medicinal ingredients, Qingyun Grass and Jinqiong Flower, were compatible. The other auxiliary herbs were much easier to blend, and soon a rich fragrance of alchemy filled the air.

“I finally did it!”

Zhang Qing suppressed the surge of emotions within him, unleashing a wave of Qi gathering technique. With a flick of his wrist, three pills soared out from the cauldron and landed in the jade bottle held in his palm.

Ye Bufan pointed out some of his major issues, but he didn't cover everything.

Moreover, having just stepped into the fifth rank from the fourth, there are still many shortcomings.

Although I successfully refined Qinghua Dan, these three pills are all uneven and obviously the most common inferior grade.

Even so, Zhang Qing would be ecstatic. Having successfully refined three Qinghua Pills, he was already a fifth-rank Xian Dan master.

With a burst of excited fist pumps, he dropped to his knees with a thud and solemnly kowtowed three times to Ye Bufan.

"Zhang Qing thanks her master's guidance."

He benefited greatly just now. If it weren't for the other party's guidance, he might have stayed at the level of a fourth-rank Immortal Alchemist for a long time.

Moreover, Ye Bufan did more than just help him raise a level; most importantly, he transmitted many alchemy concepts, giving him a deeper understanding. This will allow him to reach greater heights in the future.

It was precisely because of this that he knelt down and kowtowed, addressing him as "Master." This reverence came entirely from the depths of his heart.

"I'm not your master, I just happened to be helping out."

Ye Bufan reached out and pulled him up.

"I know that I am dull-witted and unworthy to be your disciple, but in my heart, you will always be my master."

Zhang Qing's words came straight from the heart. After finishing, he raised his hand and sent a stream of Xian Yuan into the judgment formation beside him.

The opponent conceded, and the formation immediately burst forth with a dazzling emerald glow. The third level was cleared.

Then he took off the alchemist badge from his chest and held it out to Ye Bufan with both hands.

Outside, the entire Alchemist's Guild was deathly silent. Everyone looked dumbfounded.

What is going on

Before, everyone had various fantasies. Some imagined fierce competition and clashes, others fantasized about the Alchemist Guild effortlessly dominating. There were even those who imagined this young man wouldn't be a mere dragon crossing the river, but would instead reveal some true talent.

No one could have expected the scene before them. After three trials, they had passed three hurdles, yet the other party hadn't even touched a cauldron.

While on the alchemist's guild side, one vomited blood, one was knocked unconscious by an exploding alchemy furnace, and the third remained unharmed, resulting in him kneeling on the ground kowtowing to become a disciple.

In such a scenario, not to mention those younger alchemists, even figures like Zhuge Qingyang, Luo Rong, and Mo Zhongba, these ancient monsters who had lived for tens of thousands of years, had never witnessed anything like it.

At the same time, many people were looking at Zhang Qing with envy.

Just a little guidance and you could jump from the fourth level to the fifth, it's almost miraculous. You know, many people spend their whole lives trying to cross that gap without success.

If Ye Bufan announced that he was opening his doors to accept disciples at this moment, I'm afraid countless people would kneel down and beg to be his students.

After a brief moment of astonishment, a smile spread across Zhuge Qingyang's face. He immediately announced the passing of the third round and entry into the fourth.

Luo Rong's face turned ashen. He had been expecting the other party to make a fool of themselves, but it turned out to be his side that was humiliated.

In just a little while, he effortlessly passed through three checkpoints.

Mo Chongba relayed, "Elder, please don't be angry. Haven't you noticed, this boy is all talk and no action. He hasn't even touched the alchemy furnace yet. I suspect he doesn't know how to refine pills at all."

Luo Rong didn't speak, but he agreed with the statement. The other party hadn't made a move to refine pills, and it was impossible to tell their level of alchemy skill.

Mo Chongba continued, “Elder, the fourth level belongs to us.”

I've already given the order, this time let him make his move after, let Ye Bufan make his move first. Let's see what tricks he can pull now.

Luo Rong nodded slightly: "This is a good idea!"

On their side, no one was making a move. No matter how Ye Bufan tried to find fault or offer advice, he had nowhere to start. This time, let's see how he manages to get through this.

Inside the Alchemist's Guild, Ye Bufan had already entered the fourth alchemy room.

Dong Lin, a Fifth-Rank Immortal Alchemist, belongs to the faction of the Great Elder.

He just received a sound transmission from Mo Chongba and knows how to get through this level now.

"Kid, being able to get to me here shows you have some skill. This level, we're refining fifth-order pills: the Zi Xu Dan."

He was the guardian of this place. After deciding on the types of pills, two portions of medicinal herbs were immediately teleported from the formation and placed before each person's pill furnace.

But Dong Lin did not make a move, he just stood there with a sneer on his face.

According to Mo Chongba's instructions, say nothing and do nothing, and see what other tricks the other side can come up with.

Ye Bufan glanced at him, as if he understood the other's thoughts, a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.

"Aren't you going to start refining the pills"

Ye Bufan said, "If I make a move to refine pills, you probably won't have the courage to make a move."

"Sharp teeth and a venomous tongue, if you have real skill, show it. I want to see how you make me too afraid to fight back."

Dong Lin's face was full of sarcasm. In his eyes, the young man in front of him was all talk and no substance.

"Okay, here we go!"

Ye Bufan finished speaking and strode to the cauldron.d out, blood splattered, and within breaths, dozens of iron-skinned gold-eating rats were slain.But this speed is far too slow; his killing speed is nowhere near as fast as those rats rushing towards...
