Chapter 2026: On-site Alchemy

This caused an uproar among the spectators, although Song Jian was right; there had been no explicit rule before that Medicinal Pills were not allowed during battles.

But this was common knowledge, there was no need to state it publicly, and everyone had always abided by it.

Everyone could see that Prince Anshun was clearly biased towards Cangfeng Academy.

Zheng Sanbao said with a grave Face, "Your Highness, our martial arts competition focuses on true strength. Using Medicinal Pills to boost one's cultivation might not be in line with the rules."

"Grand Manager, you also said that we are looking at true strength. If it's a life-and-death struggle, no matter what means you use, as long as you kill the opponent, that is your own strength.

If this were on the battlefield, where would there be any fairness to speak of? The result is the hard truth."

Zheng Sanbao frowned, a surge of anger rising in his heart, but before he could speak, Ye Bufan, who was standing beside him, stepped forward.

He was originally a person who never suffered losses, and now as the Dean of Lingxiao Academy, he naturally couldn't let his students suffer, especially since it concerned the great taboo of participating in the ranking competition.

Ye Bufan looked at Song Jian and said, "According to Your Highness, does this mean that on this arena, one can use any means and take any medicine at any time?"

Hearing his words, Song Jian thought of the opponent's terrifying poisoning methods and the fate of those from the Di family, and his heart involuntarily tightened.

He hesitated for a moment and said, "This cannot be generalized. Using poison is definitely not allowed. I am only talking about medicines that enhance cultivation, which can be used when necessary."

Ye Bufan said again, "So, that means on this arena, one can freely use medicines to enhance one's cultivation? Without violating any rules whatsoever?"

Song Jian had a bad premonition, but at this point, he could only brace himself and say, "That is natural!"

"I hope Your Highness does not go back on your word!"

Ye Bufan smiled at Song Jian, then returned to Lingxiao Academy's position, and with a thought, a huge Medicine Cauldron appeared before everyone.

"Lanlan, Elder Li, help me as Protector."

After Ye Bufan finished speaking, he sat cross-legged in front of the Pill Furnace, and then one after another, medicinal ingredients flew into the Pill Furnace, all his movements as smooth as flowing clouds and water.

Everyone present was completely stunned, but after the shock, they immediately became noisy again.

"What is this guy doing? Is he going to perform Alchemy in public?"

"So Young, yet he's actually an Alchemist? How is this possible?"

"Who knows? I heard this Young man, at such a young age, is already the Dean of Lingxiao Academy, perhaps he is very powerful…"

The people around were discussing animatedly, saying all sorts of things, and the people from Cangfeng Academy and the Imperial family were also looking on bewildered.

Feng Tianxiang had won a match and was originally looking triumphant after returning, but seeing this scene, he asked doubtfully, "What is this guy doing? Is he going to perform Alchemy?"

"Alchemy? I think he's just trying to show off!"

Feng Xingkong said with a sneer, "I've seen so many Alchemists, which one isn't highly respected? How could someone in their twenties become an Alchemist?"

Feng Tianxiang nodded repeatedly: "That's right, the Demonic Pill I took is a Rank five Medicinal Pill. Even if he is an Alchemist, it's impossible for him to refine a Medicinal Pill of such a Rank."

Feng Xingkong said, "How precious are Medicinal Pills that can quickly boost cultivation? How could a mere Young man refine them?

Moreover, even if he had the ability, this is a competition venue, and there wouldn't be time for him to do so."

Song Jian was equally full of disdain. In his opinion, this Young man was just making a fool of himself, protesting against him in such a strange and incompetent way.

Afterward, the competition continued, with Feng Tianxiang battling Song Guangkai of the Peak Imperial family.

In comparison, their battle was much more harmonious. Although Feng Tianxiang had an absolute advantage in strength, he gave enough Face to the Imperial family, fighting for a hundred moves before repelling his opponent with one move.

Song Guangkai also understood what was going on and did not continue to entangle, very simply bowed his head and conceded, and Cangfeng Academy won the second match.

During this time, Ye Bufan was busy as a bee, and everyone guessed correctly, he was indeed performing Alchemy.

In the Legacy of the Ancient Medical Sect, there was originally a Medicinal Pill that could rapidly increase cultivation in a short period, named Explosive Yuan Pill.

It was just a pity that the medicinal ingredients for this Medicinal Pill were relatively rare, and he had never gathered them all before, so he had never refined it.

But this time, after a trip to the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, with the help of the Azure Dragon, he had collected enough Spirit Medicine, just enough to gather the medicinal ingredients for refining the Explosive Yuan Pill, but he had not had time to refine it after returning.

Now that the other party dared to show off Medicinal Pills in front of him, a Medical Immortal, it was just the right time to refine this batch and slap their Face hard.

As for comparing the efficacy of Medicinal Pills, since he obtained the Legacy, he had never lost to anyone.

In the past, he dared not expose his identity as an Alchemist because his cultivation was too low, and his safety was not guaranteed, fearing that he would be captured by some School and kept like a pet.

But now it was different. He had Li Daoran and Nalan Yu as two great masters protecting him closely, and there was also the number one master in the Imperial City who could be called upon at any time, which made him not have to worry about safety at all.

For his current medical Dao attainment, refining the Explosive Yuan Pill had no difficulty at all; everything was done step by step, as smooth as flowing clouds and water.

Just as the match between Feng Tianxiang and Song Guangkai ended, a rich Medicinal Pill fragrance filled the entire training ground.

Then, Ye Bufan reached out and a black Medicinal Pill fell into the jade bottle in his hand.

"Oh my God, this Young man is actually an Alchemist…"

"It's too magical. I heard that Alchemists take at least a few hours to refine a batch of Medicinal Pills, some even days. How is his speed so fast?"

"I think he's just bluffing. How could he refine a good Medicinal Pill in such a short time…?"

People's attention instantly focused on Ye Bufan again.

Song Jian's mouth curled into a cold sneer. He also did not believe that the other party could truly refine a Medicinal Pill that enhances cultivation, after all, the time was too short.

If Alchemy were that easy, the status of Alchemists would not be so high.

"Alright, the second match is over, we will now proceed with the third match."

Song Jian did not put that batch of Medicinal Pills in his eyes at all and announced to everyone present, "The third match: Song Qing of the Tianfeng Empire Imperial family, Kan Hu of Cangfeng Academy, and Lu Xueman of Lingxiao Academy."

When her name was called, Lu Xueman stood up and was about to go on stage. Ye Bufan took out an Explosive Yuan Pill and handed it to her.

"Eat it before you make your move. It can immediately allow you to reach the Peak of the Void Refining Realm, for a duration of fifteen minutes."

"What?"

Hearing his words, everyone present changed their expressions simultaneously.

One must know that Medicinal Pills are inherently extremely precious, and those that can rapidly increase cultivation in a short period are even rarer.

The Demonic Pill that Feng Tianxiang took earlier, which could raise his cultivation from the Early Stage to the Middle Stage of the Void Refining Realm, was already an extremely rare Medicinal Pill. It was probably obtained by Feng Xingkong after expending countless resources.

And the Medicinal Pill refined by Ye Bufan could instantly reach the Great Perfection of the Void Refining Realm. This was already beyond words, simply a Heaven-Defying existence.

If it weren't for everyone's extreme trust in him, they would truly think this was a joke.

Lu Xueman had absolute trust in Ye Bufan. After a brief shock, she took the Medicinal Pill in her hand and stepped towards the arena.
