Chapter 297: The Indignant Disciples of Danding Peak

Kong Ping saw this scene, and he simply couldn't describe his feelings.

Shouldn't one be excited the first time they see a Medicinal Pill successfully formed?

They had investigated Xiao Fan's background, and he had even personally made a trip to Jingchuan City.

Xiao Fan was now nineteen years old.

In his childhood, he suffered endless cold shoulders, his Aptitude was frighteningly poor, and the Xiao Family could not possibly have supported his Alchemy.

Afterward, he married into the Dragon family and slowly rose to prominence.

But that was only a few months ago.

After that, Xiao Fan joined the Jixian Sect…

He knew everything that followed, from attending Jiang Yushan's class to his Awakening of the Enlightenment Seed…

It stands to reason that this was Xiao Fan's first time watching Alchemy.

But the expression on his Face seemed to suggest he had seen it all before, appearing somewhat uninterested.

Likewise, Kong Ping was not the only one paying attention to Xiao Fan.

There were many other Danding Peak Disciples as well.

For Kong Ping to keep a Disciple who wasn't from Danding Peak here, and even make an exception to hold an impromptu Alchemy sparring session…

If anyone said this had nothing to do with Xiao Fan, they certainly wouldn't believe it.

Those with keen minds soon arrived at the answer: Kong Ping wanted to entice Xiao Fan to join Danding Peak!

However, what they couldn't understand was, wasn't joining Danding Peak the dream of every Inner Sect Disciple?

Danding Peak wasn't just some place anyone could join whenever they wanted.

But… why was it like this…

They couldn't figure it out.

Having been in the Jixian Sect for many years, their thinking was rigid, and they instinctively believed that Danding Peak was the supreme path.

It was the head of the four peaks, the place most Inner Sect Disciples yearned for.

However, they had no idea that Xiao Fan had simultaneously rejected the heads of all four peaks.

Ji Bofeng also looked toward Xiao Fan and, finding the other's expression so calm, immediately felt a surge of annoyance in his heart.

He himself had been very excited to see the Medicinal Pill successfully formed, yet the other party wore an indifferent expression…

It was as if he was saying that Ji Bofeng was making a fuss over nothing.

And in reality, that was indeed what Xiao Fan thought.

It was just a batch of 1st-Grade Medicinal Pills; it was formed, so it was formed.

What was there to be surprised about?

Moreover, the quality of the 1st-Grade Medicinal Pills that person refined was only mediocre.

He didn't even think much of it.

Nowadays, it was commonplace for Xiao Fan to refine perfect Medicinal Pills.

Kong Ping withdrew his peripheral gaze and forced himself to calm down, thinking that Xiao Fan must be putting on an act.

Half an hour passed quickly, and even the Disciples who hadn't finished refining opened their Pill Furnaces one after another.

Among the ten, three successfully refined 1st-Grade Medicinal Pills; one refined a medium-quality pill, and two refined low-quality pills.

Each person placed their Medicinal Pills into jade bottles.

They each held onto their own, waiting for everyone to finish refining before comparing the quality.

Of course, if the quality was too low, there was no need to take it out…

Furthermore, since Kong Ping was right there, the so-called quality comparison could be omitted.

After all, the discernment of a 5th-Grade Alchemist was enough to explain everything!

Another ten people stepped forward.

They retrieved medicinal herbs, heated their Pill Furnaces, and began Alchemy…

The process was largely the same as before.

Xiao Fan found it boring to watch and even yawned…

He had been refining Medicinal Pills inside the star chart for two consecutive days and indeed hadn't rested well.

Before, when watching Kong Ping teach, he had been very attentive… but now.

Watching a bunch of "juniors" refine 1st-Grade Medicinal Pills, he felt it was simply a waste of time.

Kong Ping naturally noticed this scene, and black lines immediately appeared on his Face.

How could this be… why did this child look so uninterested?

Kong Ping began to suspect that there was a problem with his plan.

When the other Disciples noticed this, their expressions all turned ugly.

One had to know that Alchemy was a major event for an Alchemist, and Xiao Fan's actions just now were undoubtedly a slight against them.

Long Caiwei was standing beside Xiao Fan, and seeing this, her Face also became somewhat awkward.

She whispered an explanation in Xiao Fan's ear…

"Brother-in-law… when these people are performing Alchemy, if the spectators yawn, pick their ears, or pick their noses… these are all disrespectful to them and will make them angry."

Xiao Fan: "…"

"There's a rule like that?"

Long Caiwei felt a bit awkward: "I heard about it before, anyway, it seems to be like that…"

Xiao Fan gave a wry smile; this must be what is called the Face of an Alchemist.

Looking at people through their nostrils…

Spectators must hold a sense of awe when Alchemy is being performed…

Regarding all this… Xiao Fan could only use five words to describe it… Alchemists are sick!

In the blink of an eye, two hours passed.

Forty Disciples had already performed Alchemy one after another.

In the end, only eight of them succeeded in refining.

And the quality they refined was not very high, with the best being only medium 1st-Grade.

During this time, there were also two instances of furnace explosions.

If a furnace explosion wasn't serious, the result was that the Medicinal Pill was completely destroyed.

If it was serious, the Pill Furnace would shatter… the power was terrifying… it could even kill people.

However, with Kong Ping of the Yuanhun Realm present, it didn't matter even if a furnace explosion occurred.

He only needed to move his hand slightly to quell the vibration…

Xiao Fan's expression remained as usual; watching a bunch of "juniors" perform Alchemy… made him feel sleepy, yet he forced himself to endure.

After all, Alchemists cared about Face and required respect.

However, his appearance of occasionally shaking his head and then nodding… made the surrounding Disciples very unhappy when they saw it.

They thought to themselves… you are a Disciple not from Danding Peak, how does it look like you are critiquing!

Especially Ji Bofeng, who wanted to speak up several times to ridicule Xiao Fan!

But he didn't dare, as Kong Ping was here. He was afraid of angering Kong Ping…
