Looking at the smooth and flawless movements of the alchemy grandmasters on the Pill King Stage, many of the alchemists below the stage began to discuss excitedly. Soon after, they fell into a state of excitement.
"Is this the level of alchemy grandmasters? This is simply too amazing! "
"I seem to have found some of my weaknesses and shortcomings. I understand now, so that's how it is, so that's how it is!"
"This trip to Pill City to witness the Pill King Assembly is indeed not a wasted trip. I have benefited a lot from the alchemy grandmasters, I have benefited a lot from them!"
Along with the countless intense voices below the stage, the various alchemy grandmasters on the stage finally finished all the preparatory work before opening the furnace. Then, they officially entered the most important and core step of alchemy, which was to open the furnace for alchemy.
Countless gazes were tightly focused on the alchemy grandmasters. Every single one of them did not even blink. The sound of breathing suddenly disappeared, causing the surroundings to become abnormally quiet.
"Go!"
"Go!"
"Go!"
Almost at the same time, all the alchemy masters opened their cauldrons and threw the medicinal ingredients into the cauldrons. Then, the rich smell of medicinal ingredients spread out from all the cauldrons and filled the entire place.
Spirals of white pill mist rose from each of the alchemy furnaces, forming a white pill mist over the entire Pill King Stage. It was like a piece of white cotton candy shrouding the entire stage. It was a very beautiful sight.
"Huff!!" "Huff!" "Huff!"
On the Pill King Stage, the wind whistled. That was because the alchemy grandmasters were moving faster and faster, stirring up the air and causing a strong wind.
It was extremely difficult to refine the Nine Orifices Exquisite Pill in half an hour. If one did not use one hundred and twenty percent of their energy, it was likely that they would make a fool of themselves on the Pill King Stage today.
Therefore, at this moment, all the alchemy grandmasters on the Pill King Stage had an unprecedentedly dignified attitude. They were going all out, unwilling to be left behind.
Following the continuous movements of the alchemy grandmasters on the Pill King Stage, the countless alchemists below the stage were also intoxicated. Each and every one of them became more and more excited. The hubbub of discussion was incomparably loud, as if it could shatter one's eardrums.
However!
Unlike the other Alchemy Grandmasters who were nervous and solemn, Xiao Fan was still standing beside the Alchemy Furnace, leisurely resting with his eyes closed, completely indifferent.
Xiao Fan was like an indifferent passerby in the intense and excited atmosphere. His entire being was out of place as he calmly looked at everything that was happening in front of him.
Xiao Fan's actions were seen by a small number of people. Immediately, discussions filled with pity, sneers, sighs, and other emotions could be heard from below the stage.
"This Xiao Fan has some self-awareness. He knows that he can't be compared with the alchemy masters, so he simply doesn't practice alchemy. In this way, he won't be compared with others and become a negative example!" Someone looked at Xiao Fan and suddenly said with a smile.
"Actually, he shouldn't have gone on stage in the first place. Wouldn't it have been better if he just forfeited? In the end, he insisted on going up on stage. Just now, he was ridiculed. Why bother? "Someone shook his head and said.
"You can't say that. In fact, I think that the ridicule he received just now was worth it, because after all, he stepped onto the Pill King Stage!" Someone shrugged and said, "And being able to step onto the Pill King Stage can be considered to have done something that many people can't do!"
"Using some superficial ridicule in exchange for the qualifications to step onto the Pill King Stage and stand side by side with the alchemy masters, this transaction is worth it!"
"Yes, that's true. If it were me, I'm afraid I would do the same!" Someone immediately nodded and said with a smile.
Soon!
These discussions were also drowned out by the hustle and bustle of the surroundings, like water droplets falling into the sea, disappearing without a trace and could no longer be heard.
Then, even a small number of people completely lost interest in Xiao Fan. They turned their eyes away and no longer talked about Xiao Fan. Instead, they glanced at Xiao Fan.
Xiao Fan stood on the Alchemy King Platform as if he was completely ignored by the crowd.
Time passed bit by bit. The Nine Orifices Exquisite Pills of the various alchemy masters were basically nearing completion. The atmosphere in the arena was also constantly rising and was incomparably enthusiastic.
At this moment!
In another part of Pill City, Wang Lin, who had left the Pill Marquis Stage before the start of the Pill King Meeting, also made a breakthrough in his investigation of Xiao Fan.
"Master, there's news. Someone saw Xiao Fan go to the Solitary Extremes Mountain where Master Chen Feng is at after leaving with us yesterday!" Master Chen Feng's eldest disciple, Wen Xuan, rushed in at this moment. Then, with an excited expression on his face, he hurriedly reported to Master Wang Lin.
"Xiao Fan went to the Solitary Extremes Mountain where Master Chen Feng is at?" Hearing this news, Wang Lin's face instantly lit up with joy and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"Yes, master. According to the witnesses, after Xiao Fan and the other two climbed up the Solitary Extremes Mountain, they didn't come down for the entire night. They should have stayed on the Solitary Extremes Mountain the entire night!" Wen Xuan opened his mouth and added with a smile.
"Okay, let's go and report …!" Wang Lin suddenly stood up, his face overflowing with joy as he spoke. However, in the next second, he seemed to have thought of something and his voice came to an abrupt halt. His entire body froze and he stood there in a daze.
Master Chen Feng?
What a coincidence?
Yesterday, when Xiao Fan and the other two climbed up the Solitary Extremes Mountain, it seemed like they wanted to meet Master Chen Feng. Today, after the Pill King Assembly officially began, news came from the Pill King Platform that Master Chen Feng was unable to compete for the Pill King position due to his health. Instead, his disciple, Zhang Ying, was representing him.
These two events seemed to have no direct cause and effect. However, they both occurred with Master Chen Feng at the center. Could there really be no connection between them?
"Something's not right!" Wang Lin suddenly came to a realization and his expression changed.
"Master, what's wrong?" Wen Xuan was stunned as he looked at his master Wang Lin, whose expression had suddenly changed. He was somewhat at a loss and he subconsciously asked.
Wang Lin didn't reply and only stood there. Then, his eyebrows tightly knitted together as he sunk into deep thought.
This was because his intuition told him that Xiao Fan climbing up the Solitary Extremes Mountain and today, Master Chen Feng claiming that he was unable to compete for the Pill King position due to his health and that his disciple, Zhang Ying, was representing him. These two seemingly independent events were closely related.
However, as for what exactly was the connection, Wang Lin didn't know for the time being. He could only fall into a deadlock and no matter how hard he thought, he still couldn't figure out the real reason.
When he saw Wang Lin in this state, Wen Xuan originally wanted to say something because he hadn't finished telling him about Xiao Fan. However, at this moment, he could only keep his mouth shut and wait helplessly by the side. He was afraid that he would disturb his master Wang Lin's thoughts and incur Wang Lin's thunderous rage.
A moment later!
Wang Lin shook his head in distress and finally withdrew his thoughts from deep thought. However, he still couldn't figure out the connection between these two events and his expression was uncertain.
"Master, I still have some news that I haven't finished telling you!" When he saw that Wang Lin seemed to have calmed down, Wen Xuan carefully opened his mouth and spoke again.
"Speak!" Wang Lin was still pondering over the connection between these two events and was somewhat unconcerned about Wen Xuan's words. Immediately, he opened his mouth and shouted impatiently.
"Early this morning, someone saw grandmaster Chen Feng, his disciple Zhang Ying and two girls, one big and one small, walking down from the Lonely Mountain and heading towards the Pill King Gathering!" When he saw that Wang Lin's mood was very bad, Wen Xuan's voice became increasingly cautious as he opened his mouth to speak. "After confirming with the witnesses, I can confirm that the two girls are the two girls who have always been by Xiao Fan's side!"
"What did you say?" When he heard Wen Xuan's words, Wang Lin was stunned for a moment. He suddenly turned his head and stared intently at Wen Xuan as he involuntarily cried out.
"Master, this morning, someone saw …!" When he saw his master Wang Lin's pressuring gaze, Wen Xuan's heart trembled. He immediately opened his mouth and wanted to repeat what he had just said.
However!
"Where's Xiao Fan? Did you see Xiao Fan? " Wang Lin rudely interrupted Wen Xuan's words. His breathing suddenly became abnormally rapid and his voice unconsciously became stern as he questioned.
"No, even though the two girls with Xiao Fan have left the mountain, I did not see Xiao Fan!" Wen Xuan hurriedly replied in the face of Wang Lin's stern voice. His heart trembled even more intensely.
Wang Lin did not say anything else. His body stiffened as he stood there. His mind suddenly became empty and he suddenly understood many things.
There was indeed a connection between Xiao Fan ascending the Lonely Mountain yesterday and grandmaster Chen Feng not participating in the Pill King Battle today and allowing his disciple Zhang Ying to represent him. This was because the two girls by Xiao Fan's side had left the mountain together and headed towards the Pill King Gathering. This was the best evidence.
Otherwise, why would the two girls by Xiao Fan's side head towards the Pill King Gathering? Simply to watch the show? How could this be?
Therefore, it could be deduced that Xiao Fan must have said something to Great Master Chen Feng when he ascended the Lonely Extremes Mountain yesterday. Then, Great Master Chen Feng used his body as an excuse to let his disciple Zhang Ying fight in his place.
However, what exactly did Xiao Fan say to grandmaster Chen Feng? Why would grandmaster Chen Feng's disciple Zhang Ying step onto the stage and represent him in the Pill King Battle?
These were still unsolved mysteries and no one could figure it out in such a short period of time.
"Grandmaster Chen Feng's body is unwell and his disciple Zhang Ying is representing him in the battle. Zhang Ying, Zhang Ying, Zhang Ying?" Wang Lin continued to mutter to himself, and he felt like he was about to understand the reason behind it.
He muttered a few more sentences!
