Chapter 4006: Kneeling down to become a disciple

Ye Bufan smiled faintly, “Whether it is or not, you’ll know if you try it.”

Zhang Qing said, “Since their attributes clash, how do you handle the Baihe grass?”

Ye Bufan shook his head, “Isn’t that simple? Just replace it with another herb that doesn’t clash in attributes and has a similar effect, for example, the Thousand Thread Flower.”

“Alright, then I’ll refine it.”

Zhang Qing was not an indecisive person; he acted immediately. He announced the name of the Green Splendor Pill, and two sets of medicinal ingredients were sent out from the teleportation Formation. Finally, he began to light the fire for Alchemy.

Ye Bufan stood by, beginning to offer guidance. The other party was a Four-Rank Immortal Pill Master, and there were many areas that needed improvement to reach the Five-Rank.

“You’re wrong here; the heat for purifying the medicinal ingredients isn’t enough… ”

“This isn’t right either; use a gentle flame, not a fierce flame… ”

“And here, you need to reverse the order of the two herbs for a better effect… ”

Zhang Qing had initially held a half-believing, half-doubting attitude, but after Ye Bufan successively pointed out several flaws in his Alchemy, he no longer had any doubts and was utterly convinced.

If he wasn't an expert, if his Alchemy attainment wasn't extremely high, it would be impossible to be so knowledgeable.

Subsequently, the entire furnace of Medicinal Pills was refined in an orderly and systematic manner, without any errors.

Soon, it was time for the Medicinal Pill Fusion stage. Zhang Qing used his Immortal Essence to control the purified Golden Qionghua and the juice of the Green Cloud Grass to slowly approach each other, simultaneously adding the Thousand Thread Grass for Fusion.

At this moment, he held his breath, extremely nervous. This was the most crucial step in refining Medicinal Pills.

The shadows left in his mind from the previous several furnace explosions were still very significant.

“Don’t be nervous, trust me, nothing will happen.”

Ye Bufan’s voice in his ear greatly comforted him. And indeed, nothing happened; the Medicinal Pill Fusion was extremely smooth, without any accidents.

The two main ingredients, Green Cloud Grass and Golden Qionghua, did not repel each other, making the other auxiliary medicinal ingredients much easier. Before long, a rich Medicinal Pill fragrance wafted out.

“I finally succeeded!”

Zhang Qing suppressed his surging emotions, cast a Pill Collection spell, and with a lift of his hand, three Medicinal Pills flew out from the Pill Furnace, landing in the jade bottle in his palm.

Ye Bufan had pointed out only his main problems, not every single detail.

Coupled with the fact that he had just advanced from Four-Rank to Five-Rank, there were indeed many shortcomings.

Therefore, although he successfully refined the Green Splendor Pill, these three Medicinal Pills were all uneven, clearly the most ordinary Low Grade Medicinal Pills.

But even so, it was enough to make Zhang Qing excited to death. Having successfully refined three Green Splendor Pills, he was now a Five-Rank Immortal Pill Master.

Excitedly waving his fist, he knelt to the ground with a thud and solemnly kowtowed three times to Ye Bufan.

“Zhang Qing thanks Master for your guidance.”

He had truly benefited greatly just now. If it weren't for the other party's guidance, he would probably have remained at the Four-Rank Immortal Pill Master Rank for a long time.

Moreover, Ye Bufan didn't just help him advance a Rank; most importantly, he imparted many Alchemy concepts, giving him more insights and enabling him to go higher and further in the future.

It was precisely for this reason that he knelt and kowtowed, addressing him as Master. This respect was entirely from the heart.

“I am not your Master, I just helped out a little.”

Ye Bufan reached out and pulled him up.

“I know my Aptitude is dull, and I am not worthy of taking Young Master as my Master, but in my heart, Young Master will be my Master for life.”

Zhang Qing’s words came entirely from his heart. After speaking, he raised his hand and sent a stream of Immortal Essence into the nearby judgment Formation.

By actively admitting defeat, the Formation immediately burst forth with a dazzling green light, indicating the successful completion of the third round.

Then, he took off the Alchemist badge from his chest and, holding it with both hands, presented it to Ye Bufan.

Outside, the entire Alchemist Guild was silent, everyone dumbfounded.

What was going on?

Previously, everyone had various fantasies: they imagined a Dragon-Tiger struggle, a one-sided crushing by the Alchemist Guild, and some even fantasized that this Young man was no ordinary Dragon passing through the river, and would show some real skill.

But no one expected the scene before them. Three rounds had passed, a full three rounds, yet he hadn't even touched a Pill Furnace.

As for the Alchemist Guild’s side, one vomited blood, one was knocked unconscious by a Pill Furnace explosion, and the third, perfectly fine, knelt on the ground, kowtowing and acknowledging him as Master.

Such a scene, not to mention the younger Immortal Pill Masters, even Zhuge Qingyang, Luo Rong, and Mo Chongba, these old monsters who had lived for tens of thousands of years, had never witnessed.

At the same time, many people looked at Zhang Qing with extreme envy.

Just a casual pointer allowed him to leap from Four-Rank to Five-Rank; it was simply a miracle! One must know that many people spend their entire lives unable to cross this chasm.

If Ye Bufan were to announce at this moment that he was accepting disciples, countless people would likely kneel and beg to become his disciples.

After a brief moment of astonishment, Zhuge Qingyang’s face quickly broke into a smile. He immediately announced the successful completion of the third round and entry into the fourth round.

Luo Rong’s expression was extremely grim. He had been waiting to see the other party make a fool of himself, but the one making a fool was his own side.

In such a short time, the other party had effortlessly passed three rounds consecutively.

Mo Chongba transmitted, “Elder, don’t be angry. Haven’t you noticed? This kid is all talk; he hasn’t touched a Pill Furnace yet. I suspect he can’t even do Alchemy.”

Luo Rong didn’t speak, but he largely agreed with this statement. The other party indeed hadn’t performed Alchemy, so it was impossible to discern the level of his Alchemy attainment.

Mo Chongba continued, “Elder, the fourth round is our person.

I’ve already instructed him to act later this time, letting Ye Bufan go first. Let’s see what tricks he can pull off.”

Luo Rong nodded slightly, “That’s a good idea!”

If their person didn't act, Ye Bufan would have no opportunity to find fault or offer guidance. This time, they would see how he could pass the round.

Inside the Alchemist Guild, Ye Bufan had already entered the fourth Pill Chamber.

Dong Lin, a Five-Rank Immortal Pill Master, belonged to the Grand Elder’s faction.

He had just received a message from Mo Chongba, knowing what to do in this round.

“Young man, it’s quite a feat for you to have made it to me. In this round, we’ll be refining a Five-Rank Medicinal Pill, the Child Thread Pill.”

He was the guardian here. After determining the type of Medicinal Pill, two sets of medicinal ingredients were immediately teleported from the Formation and placed before each of their Pill Furnaces.

But Dong Lin did not act; he just stood there with a cold smile.

According to Mo Chongba’s instructions, he said nothing and did nothing, to see what tricks the other party could pull off.

Ye Bufan glanced at him, seemingly understanding the other party’s thoughts, and a smile played on his lips.

“Aren’t you going to start Alchemy?”

Dong Lin smiled coldly, “I’m not in a hurry, you go first.”

Ye Bufan said, “If I were to begin Alchemy, you probably wouldn’t have the courage to act.”

“Sharp-tongued. If you have real skill, show it. I’d like to see how you make me lose the courage to act.”

Dong Lin was full of mockery. In his eyes, the Young man before him was all talk, with no real skill.

“Alright, then watch closely!”

Ye Bufan finished speaking and stepped forward to the Pill Furnace.
