After all, the Yuan family and the Elixir Production Alliance's merchants had already run out of Level Three Celestial Expansion Pills.
For at least half a month, not a single pill was sold. According to those in the know, this pill was difficult to refine, and the cost of refining was high. It was not as profitable as refining other pills, so there were very few of them.
Even if there were, they would have already been reserved by reputable figures in advance for their relatives or even subordinates to break through to the Fairy Realm. How could they possibly have a chance?
This news caused an uproar among the Three Crystals Half Fairy Realm experts.
A large number of Three Crystals Half Fairy Realm experts swarmed over and surrounded the small elixir store.
"Shopkeeper, take out the third-grade Expansion Immortal Pill! I want it! " A vigorous youth rushed into the shop and slammed the counter without caring about anything else. His Three Crystals Half Fairy Realm cultivation emanated from his body as he shouted in a stern voice.
Unexpectedly, the plump shopkeeper, who was sitting at the counter, crossed his legs. He was clearly just a One Crystal Half Fairy Realm cultivator, yet he wasn't afraid of the ferocious Three Crystals Half Fairy Realm cultivator. He rubbed his nose with his pinky finger and cast a sidelong glance at the shopkeeper. "Are you talking to me?"
The Three Crystals Half Fairy Realm expert, who had a fiery temper, was infuriated by the shopkeeper's words. "How dare you speak to me in such a manner? Believe it or not, I can kill you with one palm strike! "
However, the slightly plump shopkeeper shook his clothes and chuckled, "Kid, if you don't want to die too quickly, line up outside obediently. When it's your turn, this shopkeeper will inform you."
The Three Crystals Half Fairy Realm youth was so infuriated that he started laughing. "A trifling shopkeeper dares to show such disrespect to me? I don't believe that you can do anything to me! "
However, before he could finish speaking, several murderous intents shot at him from behind.
"Young man, wait outside. If you want to die, I can fulfill your wish now."
The young man looked back and saw a man and a woman sitting quietly in the hall. Both of them had their eyes closed and were resting.
Their cultivations weren't weak, as they were all Three Crystals Half Fairies.
"Humph! Who are you? I'm from the Three Flames Gang! "The young man wasn't afraid at all. He raised his head and said.
Unexpectedly, one of the women said in a calm tone, "Oh? Was the Three Fire Gang that great? My city's West Poison Widow Seven Sisters would like to pay you a visit. "
The young man's body stiffened, and his pupils constricted. His face was full of shock. "Poison, Poison Widow."
His entire body was trembling, and his voice was filled with fear.
The Poisonous Widow's reputation was simply too great. It was a group of seven sisters, and every single one of them was a vicious and ruthless character. Aside from the youngest, the seventh sister, the rest were all Fairies. They occupied the western region of the city, and no one dared to provoke them.
This woman was actually the Poisonous Widow?
His heart thumped wildly, and he wished he could slip away as soon as possible.
"Then, what about you?" The young man looked at the man opposite the woman. He was very scholarly and had an otherworldly aura.
The scholarly man glanced at him. "Me? He's just the big brother of the Axe Gang. "
Hiss!
The big brother of the Axe Gang? The young man was so scared that he almost fainted. The Axe Gang had a large number of members, and they were all vicious, fugitives who killed people like flies!
There were so many of them that even the Poison Widow had to avoid them!
At this moment, the young man wished that he had never come here. Even more so, he hated that he should not have been so blind as to cause trouble here.
"Since you know, why haven't you scrammed yet?" The scholarly man said indifferently.
The young man was so scared that he pissed his pants, and his face turned pale as he fled. He didn't have the same overbearing aura as before.
The scholarly man looked at the Half Fairies outside the door, who didn't dare to enter, and said calmly, "I won't stop you from buying elixirs, but if anyone dares to cause trouble before I get the elixirs, then don't blame the Axe Gang for not recognizing you."
His unspoken implication was that anyone who tried to stop him from buying the elixirs would die.
The Three Crystals Half Fairies outside the door didn't dare to resist, and they rejoiced that they were there, as the shopkeeper's life would be saved, and they would be able to buy the elixirs smoothly.
If they hadn't been there, that evil guy might have kidnapped the shopkeeper, and their chances of getting the elixirs would have been slim.
"The Three Flames Gang is just a bunch of fools!"
The crowd mocked them, while they waited patiently outside.
This piece of news caused a great commotion, and it eventually spread to the Yuan family and the Elixir Production Alliance.
The Yuan family held a great meeting because of this matter.
All of the family's primary alchemists were ordered to participate in this meeting.
"I believe that all of you have heard that a batch of third-grade Fairy Expansion Pills is circulating in the market. I want to know whether someone from our Yuan family is doing such a thing." The Yuan Family's Master's sharp gaze passed through the ten primary alchemists present, while he spoke in a gentle tone.
The ten primary alchemists shook their heads in denial.
"Family's Master, you can rest assured. We won't do such a petty thing," one of the alchemists said.
The rest of the alchemists also cleared their names.
The Yuan Family's Master said, "I believe all of you. It seems like the Elixir Production Alliance made a mistake, as only our two factions have the Fairy Expansion Pills."
However, one of the alchemists shook his head and said, "Family's Master, I think that there is something fishy about this matter. The Elixir Production Alliance's control over alchemists is greater than our Yuan family's, so the possibility of their alchemists secretly refining elixirs and selling them is quite low. Moreover, according to the circulating news, they refined eleven third-grade Fairy Expansion Pills in just six days, which means that they probably spent six whole days refining elixirs. So, how could they possibly hide it from the Elixir Production Alliance?"
Upon hearing this, everyone sank into contemplation.
If it wasn't the Yuan family or the Elixir Production Alliance, then who could it be?
"Could it be a new primary alchemist?" Yuan Wanbi was quite intelligent, and she immediately voiced her suspicions.
"The Fairy Expansion Pills are indeed the secret elixir recipes controlled by our two factions, but there are always exceptions. After all, the Fairy Expansion Pills were introduced by us from the outside world, and we didn't create them. So, we can't be sure that someone else didn't possess them."
A new primary alchemist? Everyone's hearts shook upon hearing this.
It was extremely difficult to nurture an alchemist, and it took a long time for one to appear every ten years. So, once an alchemist appeared, the Yuan family and the Elixir Production Alliance would fight over him.
If this was really the case, then the Yuan family would have to be careful.
"Regardless of whether Wanbi's guess is correct or not, we must still take action." The Yuan Family's Master muttered to himself for a moment before he decisively ordered, "Immediately dispatch the family's Fairy Realm experts and hide in the vicinity of that shop. We must find that alchemist!"
Upon hearing this, all of the Yuan family's members braced themselves, as they knew that their fight with the Elixir Production Alliance would start once again.
Yuan Yingying, who was standing beside Su Yu, couldn't help but feel excited. Her face was flushed with delight.
That alchemist was her!
There were several times when she almost couldn't help but admit that it was her, but she was stopped by Su Yu in time.
"We can't do it now, as the time isn't right yet. Let's wait for a suitable opportunity," Su Yu said.
Yuan Yingying restrained her excitement and nodded silently. She then returned to Su Yu's side, while tears welled up in her eyes.
If it were any other time, no one would pay any attention to Yuan Yingying.
However, ever since the arrival of the Almighty Divine Master, Yuan Yingying had become the focus of the family's attention.
The Yuan Family's Master also noticed Yuan Yingying's unusual expression, so he asked, "Yingying, what happened to you?"
The other people were also bewildered, as they couldn't help but wonder why Yuan Yingying was so emotional and tearing up for no reason at all.
Yuan Yingying was startled by this, and she started stammering incoherently for a long time.
Yuan Wanbi then asked calmly, "Sister, are you thinking of yourself as that primary alchemist?"
Although she spoke calmly, it wasn't difficult to discern the mockery in her words.
How could a wild girl, who had just entered the Yuan family for two years, be a powerful primary alchemist? This wasn't funny at all.
Many of the family's uncles and elders looked at Yuan Yingying apathetically and shook their heads slightly. It seemed like they didn't like her at all.
The Yuan Family's Master felt somewhat helpless, as he felt sorry for his sister, who was being ostracized once again, so he deliberately raised his voice and asked, "Yingying, did that senior come to look for you again?"
Yuan Yingying followed Su Yu's instructions and shook her head as she replied, "He didn't."
Upon hearing this, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
Yuan Wanbi furrowed her brows slightly, while doubt welled up in her heart. She then asked, "Sister, that senior Divine Master shouldn't have just been talking about it, right? Otherwise, why hasn't he shown himself since the end of the month's exam is approaching? "
Yuan Yingying didn't reply to this question.
Many people's hearts sank upon hearing this, as if this was really the case, the Yuan family's happiness would have been for nothing.
"Okay, let's end this meeting here. After we go down, we must track down that primary alchemist closely." The Yuan Family's Master waved his hand helplessly.

A similar scene was playing out in the Elixir Production Alliance.
Twenty primary alchemists were ordered to come here and investigate them one by one.
"Brother Zhao, it seems like he isn't a primary alchemist from our Elixir Production Alliance. Could it be the Yuan family?" A red-nosed middle-aged man asked the blue-clothed scholar sitting opposite him.
The blue-clothed scholar was Zhao Yin's father, one of the Elixir Production Alliance's two big shots, and they had joined hands to suppress the Yuan family.
"It's impossible." The blue-clothed scholar shook his head. "The Yuan family is very strict with its elixir recipes, and the spy I planted in the Yuan family hasn't succeeded even after ten years. As such, there aren't many primary alchemists who can touch the recipe of the Immortal Expansion Pill."
A spy? The red-nosed middle-aged man was quite curious as to who this spy was.
He only knew that this spy was hiding by the side of an important person in the Yuan family.
"Does this mean that it's a new primary alchemist?" The red-nosed middle-aged man's eyes lit up.
The blue-clothed scholar nodded, and just as he was about to speak, a rough voice echoed from outside the hall.
"It's really a new primary alchemist, and he isn't an ordinary primary alchemist."
As the voice echoed, an old man draped in a black robe stepped into the hall.
He had an old face, white hair, and a pair of yellow eyes, which made people shudder when they looked at him.
The expressions of the blue-clothed scholar and the red-nosed middle-aged man changed drastically, and they hurriedly stood up and said in delight, "Welcome, Elder Liao!"
They were the two big shots of the Blue Mountain Range's Elixir Production Alliance, yet they were still so respectful to the person in front of them.
This was because Elder Liao was the Soul Seizing Palace's outer sanctum's elder.
The Blue Mountain Range wasn't far from the Soul Seizing Palace, and every year, the Soul Seizing Palace would select an outer sanctum's disciple from the Blue Mountain Range.
For the Blue Mountain Range's cultivators, being able to enter one of the Eighteen Blessed and Heavenly Lands' factions was an unattainable dream, and ordinary people would find it laughable.
Only the geniuses nurtured by various factions would have the opportunity to enter one of the factions through the competition.
As for the referee, it was none other than Elder Liao.
He had a deep relationship with the Elixir Production Alliance, so no matter how one looked at him, the blue-clothed scholar and the red-nosed middle-aged man had to be respectful to him.
Elder Liao stepped into the hall and sat in the main seat, while the blue-clothed scholar and the red-nosed middle-aged man sat on either side of him.
