Chapter 4048: Continue to be at the Bottom

s were standing at the entrance.After seeing these people, Ye Bufan was quite surprised because even the weakest of these bodyguards had Xuan-rank cultivation.This level of cultivation, if placed in a...Ye Bufan stood on the third floor of Danwang Tower. It was still very spacious here, with enough space for each person to be comparable to a small alchemy room.

Before him was a pill furnace, with an assessment formation hovering above his head. As long as he input the name of the medicine pill he wanted to refine, it would immediately provide the corresponding medicinal herbs.

After refining is complete, send the pills into the formation. The Dan Wang Tower will then record your score and add it to the rankings.

As soon as I made out the situation before me, a sharp pain shot through my mind, like being pricked by needles.

Ye Bufan was stunned. Was this a psychic attack

I didn't expect that even at the third floor of the Twelve-tiered Dan King Tower, there would be such a function. The intensity of this attack wasn't great, it was like a pinprick, but it was enough to affect someone's sanity.

In this case, the difficulty of alchemy doubles. It seems that reaching the summit is much more difficult than expected.

He sat in front of the alchemy furnace, writing down the name "Golden Jade Pill" within the assessment formation. Soon, the corresponding medicinal herbs were sent out.

This is the Danwang Competition, which places extremely high demands on the pill refining skills of immortal alchemists. Naturally, it wouldn't award three copies according to the rules outside.

The Danwang Pagoda only gives one pill. If you fail, you are completely eliminated.

Ye Bufan was calm and collected. He grabbed a medicinal herb and threw it into the pill furnace. Then, he summoned a wisp of true fire to slowly refine and purify it.

He didn't even perform at his usual speed when refining pills. Right now, he still needed to seize the time and refine the God-Nurturing Fruit to enhance his mental power.

One could refine alchemy while constantly being mentally attacked by the spirit of the Danwang Tower.

Although one's spiritual power is strong now and can fully withstand it, it still affects one's alchemy, especially when one is doing two things at once.

If one practices alchemy while simultaneously refining medicinal power and resisting spiritual attacks, that is called using one's heart for three purposes. However, efficiency will be lower.

Ye Bufan frowned, this wasn't a sustainable solution, he had to deal with this mental attack.

He was someone who practiced divine consciousness techniques and was no stranger to dealing with mental attacks. He paused the refining of the Contemplation Fruit and unleashed a divine consciousness blade.

It turned out that the method was still very effective. The spiritual attack disappeared after the cut.

Ye Bufan secretly let out a sigh of relief, luckily he solved this problem, otherwise it would be quite troublesome.

Without the disturbance of psychic attacks, he began to focus wholeheartedly on alchemy and refining the power of the Divine Consciousness Fruit.

He was laser-focused, while those watching him were in a frenzy.

Although everyone still practiced alchemy in the second round, the difficulty wasn't that high. The focus was more on how to compose the alchemical formula.

But now things are completely different. After stepping onto the third stage, everyone revealed their own different fires without any reservation.

The remaining fifty people are all masters of alchemy. Some are powerful alchemists who roam the world, while others are elite immortal elixir masters cultivated by major sects.

Such people naturally don't lack resources, and everyone possesses their own unique fire.

Especially the first-tier individuals, King Dan Chu Jiu Yu sacrificed a yellow flame, as did Mu Ji, Hua Qiqi, and several people from the five major sects.

The rest of them, though their flame ranks differed a little, green, cyan, or purple, at least held one strange fire in their hands.

For a moment, the entire Danwang Tower seemed like an exhibition of exotic fires, with all sorts of flames dancing and leaping. This spectacle left everyone around utterly thrilled.

With the help of heterofire, the efficiency of alchemy increased dramatically, almost making up for the impact of divine sense attacks.

After half an hour, Crown Prince Chu Jiuyu, the Ten Crowns King, finished his pills and stepped onto the fourth floor.

The radiance on the Danwang Pagoda also changed, placing his name at the top.

Then, Mu Ji, Hua Qiqi, Chao Kuan, Wu Xuzi and others also successively sent their refined pills into the assessment formation and stepped onto the fourth floor.

In comparison, Xie Hongying's performance was slightly weaker, but she still ranked among the leaders of the Second Corps, closely following Xia Qingying and others.

Yintong finished the pills in his hands and advanced successfully, glancing disdainfully at Ye Bufan not far away.

"I see the other party is still busy refining Xianling Grass, their progress is far behind mine. I sneer, “Waste! You are not even worthy to be my opponent.”

Then he stepped into the fourth tier, his goal completely changed in his heart. Now, his only opponent was Xia Qingying; that trash was not worth mentioning at all.

An hour later, only one solitary figure remained at the third stage, still slowly manipulating the alchemy furnace.

All others have successfully entered the fourth and fifth stages. Chu Jiuyu, Mu Ji, Chao Kuan, Wu Xuzi and others have stepped into the sixth stage.

"This guy is so pathetic, he doesn't have the speed of a different fire and he's slow. No wonder he's last…"

"It seems like the winner and loser of this competition are already decided. One is Chu Danwang, and the other is this trash..."

"What kind of alchemy level is this guy How did he even get to the finals He's way too slow compared to others..."

The onlookers laughed derisively, although many of them weren't alchemists themselves and couldn't even refine pills. But that didn't stop them from openly mocking him.

The Qin Fei on the viewing platform sighed softly: "If I had known that Young Master Ye didn't have an otherworldly fire, I would have sent him a flower!"

Qinshianshan Manor, as one of the Five Great Sects, bestowed its highest-level yellow heteroflame upon the gifted alchemists Li He for cultivation.

But the remaining purple fire and blue fire are still there.

Even the Sword Emperor, Wan Jianyi, shook his head slightly. “Doctor Ye is still too concerned with face. If he didn't have an otherworldly fire, why didn't he tell us beforehand”

Two people kept lamenting, but now it was too late. The competition had already begun. They couldn't possibly send the alien fire up at this point; that would be against the rules.

Zhuge Qingyang frowned again, he really couldn't understand this young man in front of him.

Before I entered the Alchemist's Guild, I was so full of vigor and confidence. It took me less than two hours from start to finish. But why am I so slow today

Could it be that the spiritual interference from the Dan Wang Tower

Before that, during the second round, there was no interference, but the speed was still incredibly slow.

"I don't understand, I really don't understand!"

Zhuge Qingyang shook his head. Although he didn't have high hopes for how this young man would turn out in the end, he couldn't quite see through his current performance.

Ye Bufan sat there, with nothing else on his mind.

Unfazed by others' reactions, he focused solely on alchemy and enhancing his mental strength.

As the two hours came to an end, he finished refining the pills in his hand and sent them into the assessment formation.

Lights flickered, and finally, the grand screen above displayed fifty names. Not surprisingly, his name was at the very bottom.

"The leaves of Bao Dan Men are extraordinary, bearing three dan (spiritual pills), all of inferior quality."

As the last one to appear, all eyes were on him, and the scene immediately erupted in excitement.

"I'm dying of laughter! I've been busy for two hours and managed to make three pills, all low-grade. Is there anything more useless than this"

"I just don't understand how this guy made it to the finals, he must have gotten lucky..."

The laughter in the room filled the air, and it was no wonder people reacted that way.

Although the previous alchemist was affected by divine sense interference and couldn't fully display his skill, he was at least a sixth-rank Dan Master.

In the Dan King Competition, he managed to refine three pills, all of which were low-grade. This result was unprecedentedly poor.ng sword in Di Cang Hai's hand couldn't withstand the power of that punch, shattering with a boom and breaking into seven or eight pieces.Then, he was sent flying backward like a kicked ball, crashing...
