Chapter 4008: Level 7

Chapter 4008: The Seventh Trial

“This…how is this possible?”

Zhao Xiang was truly too shocked. His medicinal ingredients hadn't even been purified yet, but the other person had already refined nine Medicinal Pills.

The disparity was simply beyond imagination. He had never dreamed of anyone being able to perform Alchemy so quickly, and the quality of the Medicinal Pills was high.

He rubbed his eyes vigorously, making sure he hadn't seen wrong.

He even raised his hand and pinched his thigh, the intense pain telling him he wasn't dreaming.

And just then, a puff sound came from his ear, followed by a burnt smell assailing his nostrils.

Just now, due to being too shocked and too Divided Soul, he forgot to control his Pill Furnace, and the medicinal ingredients inside completely turned into ashes.

One completely failed, while the other refined nine Medicinal Pills. There was no need for a Formation evaluation; the victor was immediately clear.

Ye Bufan stepped over to him, reached out and took off the Alchemist badge on his chest, then walked out of the Pill Chamber.

He passed the fifth trial and entered the sixth.

The scene was basically the same. Although the Medicinal Pill was changed to a sixth Rank, Ye Bufan's Alchemy speed was still half an hour, and this was even a result of him suppressing his speed.

The sixth Rank Alchemist next to him was not much different from Zhao Xiang. He hadn't even finished purifying the medicinal ingredients when Young Master Ye had already produced nine Medicinal Pills: eight High Grade and one Medium Grade.

In just half an hour, he passed another trial and walked towards the seventh Pill Chamber.

Inside, it was peaceful, but outside, it had already exploded.

“Oh my heavens, who exactly is this Young man? How can he be such a Heaven-Defying Prodigy?”

“This is a trial, and he actually passed six trials so easily…”

“The most crucial thing is that he doesn't seem to be using his full strength at all; it's been effortless for him so far…”

At the entrance of the main hall, Luo Rong's face had turned extremely gloomy.

That emperor flower was an extremely precious treasure to him. The reason he took it out for a gamble this time was entirely because he believed he couldn't lose.

But now, things had taken a sharp turn. The opponent had already passed six trials and was about to pass the seventh.

According to the Alchemist Guild's trial agreement, passing seven trials meant passing. He could continue to challenge after that, but that would be after winning.

Once the opponent succeeded, his plan this time would again result in complete failure.

He had sacrificed Fan Dongping and offended Kong Lingyuan before, all for the sake of striking at Ye Bufan. If the other person succeeded in the trial, where would he put his face?

The most crucial thing was still the emperor flower; he truly couldn't bear to part with it.

“Elder, don't worry. The Young man refined these two Medicinal Pills so quickly, he must have coincidentally refined them before and be extremely familiar with them.

For Medicinal Pills, the difficulty more than doubles with each increase in Rank. He might not be able to refine seventh Rank Medicinal Pills.

Moreover, I have already informed Mao Qiang, who is guarding the seventh trial, to choose an extremely rare seventh Rank Immortal Pill—the Treasure Calamity Pill.

Ordinary Immortal Pill Masters, let alone refine this Medicinal Pill, haven't even heard of it.

Presumably, that Young man has never refined it either. If he maintains his previous speed, he might fail on the spot.

No matter what, as long as he stops at the seventh trial, the initiative will be in our hands.”

“Well done!”

Luo Rong nodded, a hint of malice flashing in his eyes. “As long as he fails the trial, I will personally cripple his cultivation, so he can never think of Alchemy again in his life.”

He was pushed to this point, his heart filled with resentment, all directed at Ye Bufan.

The two of them were secretly plotting here, while Zhuge Qingyang, Wu Zheng, and others on the side were beaming with joy.

Although the opponent was challenging the Alchemist Guild's assessment hall, as top Immortal Pill Masters, they were broad-minded.

They were not at all displeased about the opponent's impending victory; instead, they were filled with joy at the appearance of such a Genius.

“Guild Master, I have lived for so long and have never seen such a talented junior.

Regardless of the final outcome of the trial, we should recruit him into the Alchemist Guild and train him well. In the future, he will surely be a great expert in the Dao of Alchemy!”

Zhuge Qingyang nodded, his face full of admiration.

“That's right, he is indeed a talent worth cultivating. If we train him here for a thousand or eight hundred years, he might become the second Qi Qi.”

Although Ye Bufan's performance greatly impressed him, he did not think his Alchemy attainments were that strong. After all, he was only refining seventh Rank Immortal Pills at the moment.

The Dao of Alchemy becomes more difficult the further one progresses. Many astonishing Immortal Pill Masters ultimately can only stop at the seventh or eighth Rank.

Hua Qiqi, however, knew what was going on and shook her head repeatedly. “Guild Master, I am far inferior to Young Master Ye. His Alchemy attainments are a hundred times stronger than mine.”

A hint of surprise flashed across Zhuge Qingyang's face. He understood the woman in front of him very well; she wasn't arrogant, but she would never belittle herself casually.

Especially in Alchemy, she had absolute confidence and would not easily admit defeat.

But now, to have such an attitude towards this Young man, it was somewhat unexpected for him.

While a few people were chatting here, inside the Pill Chamber, Ye Bufan entered the seventh trial.

Guarding this trial was a tall, thin old man, Mao Qiang, an eighth Rank Immortal Pill Master of the Alchemist Guild.

This person was also an old Immortal Pill Master, belonging to the Grand Elder's faction, but his Alchemy skill was indeed very formidable.

The most important thing was his extensive knowledge; it was rumored that there was no eighth Rank Immortal Pill he couldn't refine.

Seeing Ye Bufan enter, he had already received Mo Chongba's instructions. Without any unnecessary words, he directly said, “We are refining the Treasure Calamity Pill in this trial.”

As soon as he spoke, the onlookers were all filled with astonishment.

They were all Immortal Pill Masters. Even if they couldn't refine ordinary Medicinal Pills, they were very familiar with their names.

But for this Treasure Calamity Pill, except for a few old Immortal Pill Masters, many people looked bewildered, having never even heard of it.

Seeing Mao Qiang actually propose refining the Treasure Calamity Pill, Wu Zheng's expression changed. “Isn't it unfair to ask a Young man to refine this kind of Medicinal Pill?”

“Second Elder, what you're saying isn't right.”

Luo Rong said, “What is this Young man doing? He's challenging the trials. He's using his own strength to contend against my entire Alchemist Guild.

Since that's the case, he should be prepared, including refining various types of Medicinal Pills.”

Mo Chongba also chimed in, “Yes, Mao Qiang proposing to refine this Pill also shows that he places the honor of our Alchemist Guild first.”

Wu Zheng snorted and said no more. Although he despised the two of them internally, there was truly nothing he could say about this matter.

Everyone else also discussed animatedly. Everyone could see what Mao Qiang's purpose was in proposing to refine the Treasure Calamity Pill.

This was because he lacked absolute confidence in his Alchemy skill, so he wanted to make things difficult for the opponent through this method.

Ye Bufan, however, remained calm, showing no change in expression due to the obscure Medicinal Pill the other party proposed.

In fact, there was no need to. The Ancient Medical Sect's Legacy was like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea. Let alone a small Treasure Calamity Pill, even more obscure Medicinal Pills were recorded.

Under the gaze of countless eyes, he stepped to the Pill Furnace and began to refine the Medicinal Pill.
