In reality, this was because he made a blood contract with Liang Nine before the competition started. If he didn't, then 1200 gold coins would be his limit.
After the discussion continued for a while, the crowd gradually quieted down.
This was because there was still one person who hadn't sold his pill yet. That was High Wind City's Qi Zimo!
"Last one. High Wind City's Qi Zimo's Yuan Increasing Pill!" Muyun Old Devil's voice echoed throughout the hall.
"2000 gold coins!"
Right after Muyun Old Devil finished speaking, someone called out a bid. It was an extremely high bid. The person who called out the bid was wearing a conical bamboo hat and black clothes. He didn't want to reveal his identity.
"2100 gold coins ….." Someone clenched his fist and reluctantly added another 100 gold coins.
"3000 gold coins!"
The man wearing the bamboo hat was clearly determined to win. There was an unquestionable firmness in his words, causing those who wanted to try their luck and increase the price to completely lose interest in competing with him.
The crowd was in an uproar. They wanted to see who this person was. However, he was wearing black clothes and didn't have any eye-catching features.
Muyun Old Devil was extremely happy. If the 3600 gold coins that Ye Zifeng sold was a windfall, then the 3000 gold coins that Qi Zimo was selling was a stable source of income.
This was because Qi Zimo was the champion of the alchemy competition. The pills he concocted were very good. His fire control techniques had already broken through the peak of common tier flames and was on the way to becoming a huang tier flame. The man using 3000 gold coins to buy Qi Zimo's pill made it look like he was losing money. However, he was giving Qi Zimo face. This way, he would be able to get Qi Zimo to refine pills for him in the future.
"3000 gold coins going once. 3000 gold coins going twice. Are there any higher bids?"
"….. Okay. Deal!"
In the first round of the competition, the total earnings of the five participants was a terrifying 8100 gold coins. If Muyun Old Devil took out the rest and split the earnings 50/50, she would still have 4000 gold coins. This was a very impressive amount of earnings.
Ye Zifeng smiled and looked at the black clothed man, "You're actually willing to spend 3000 gold coins on a Yuan Increasing Pill? Looks like this Qi Zimo is really not simple … "
The joy on Muyun Old Devil's face gradually faded. She coughed, and her voice was clear and loud.
"Since the semi-finals and the small auction are over, then next …"
She paused for a moment and couldn't help but smile, "The second stage of the competition is about to begin!"
Hearing the word "begin", the contestants in Group Three who were still in the arena felt their hearts tremble slightly, and their gazes gradually became serious.
Liu Bing Qian and Ye Feng looked at each other. Their eyes lit up at the same time. He listened attentively.
In the past, Liu Bing Qian, like Xu Zhen and the others, had already begun to leave the arena dejectedly. However, this time, she had resolutely stayed and fought to the end. She continued to fight for her dignity and honor.
Muyun Old Devil revealed a serious expression. Since the second stage had begun, it meant that she needed to treat it seriously.
"Iron Guards, listen up! Bring all the medicinal ingredients to me!"
"Yes! Senior Muyun! " The group of Iron Guards answered hurriedly. They ran through the hall in fear and trepidation, placing table after table of medicinal ingredients in front of everyone. Their movements were incomparably swift.
Liu Bing Qian saw that the Iron Guards didn't seem to stop taking medicinal ingredients from the storeroom, and immediately became suspicious.
"No way. How many pills are we going to concoct? Just this amount alone is enough for us to concoct for an entire afternoon."
Ye Zifeng smiled and didn't say anything. Of course, he didn't believe that Muyun Old Devil would let them concoct all the ingredients. If it took too long, not only would the contestants not be able to handle it, even the spectators wouldn't want to watch a long battle.
Medicinal ingredients were placed in front of the three groups as if they were free. Although the amount and types were the same, Muyun Old Devil had basically moved half of the medicinal ingredients warehouse over. It was quite shocking to see such a large amount.
When the Iron Guards finally finished, the time it takes for an incense stick to burn had already passed. The ingredients in front of the three groups were piled up to the height of a person. Who knows what Muyun Old Devil was going to ask them to concoct.
"Senior Muyun, we've already brought out all the ingredients in the Qi Refining stage and Martial Disciple realm. We've brought out three ingredients from each batch!" A white clothed Iron Guard respectfully replied.
"Very good!" Mu Yun Old Devil revealed a smile as she swept her gaze across the crowd.
"Since this year's alchemy competition is organized by my Muyun Manor, I, Muyun Old Devil, will do everything I can to make this competition as exciting as possible. Thus, I told the Iron Guards to bring out all the ingredients from the warehouse. We're competing on the limit of an alchemist!"
"Limit?" Hearing this, everyone looked at each other. They didn't understand what was going on.
"That's right. That's the limit. I told my people to bring out all the ingredients so that the alchemists can display their full potential. They won't have to worry about the lack of ingredients and will be able to concoct the best pill possible! This way, we can revitalize Tiandao City's alchemy industry! "
Ye Zifeng stared blankly at the herbs on the ground. It was as if he was looking at a beautiful girl's curvaceous body. He couldn't move his eyes away for a long time.
As a result, he didn't even care about the impassioned words that Muyun Old Devil was saying.
"Not bad. Not bad. I didn't come all the way from Leizhou City for nothing. I didn't think that I would be able to see so many high quality ingredients in my lifetime. This is great. This is great!"
Ye Zifeng laughed. He was a crazed alchemist in his past life. Only when he sees high quality ingredients would he reveal his true thoughts. His expression was one of happiness from the bottom of his heart.
In order to keep up appearances, Muyun Old Devil took out all the high quality ingredients she had. Compared to the low quality ingredients in Leizhou City, these ingredients were many times better. No wonder Ye Zifeng was so mesmerized by them.
In the eyes of everyone else, Ye Zifeng looked like a madman. Those who didn't know what was going on were all pointing at him and cursing him.
Hua Shao looked at him with disdain, "In the end, he came from a rural place like Leizhou City. Look at him. It seems like he's never seen high quality ingredients before. He's making a fool out of himself!"
His follower was also a mink of the same tribe. He snorted coldly, "Young Master is right. In my opinion, they might have known beforehand that they were going to refine the Life Enhancing Pill for the first round, so they had already made sufficient preparations. However, in the second round, they will definitely lose miserably. How can they be a match for you, Young Master? "
"Hahaha ….. Of course!"
Many people had the same thoughts as Hua Shao. Everyone knew that Bingqian was Muyun Old Devil's disciple. It's not impossible for her to reveal the first round of the competition.
However, after Qi Zimo looked at Ye Zifeng for a while, his eyes lit up and the smile on his face became bigger and bigger.
He turned around and looked at the servant behind him, "Sword slave, listen up. You don't need to help me concoct the ingredients. Watch Ye Zifeng's movements carefully. If anything happens, report to me immediately!"
"No way. Master, are you ….. going to go all out? " The sword slave was extremely shocked. He knew better than anyone that his master hadn't revealed such a serious expression for a long time.
"Do what I tell you to do. Don't talk so much!"
"Yes ….. Yes master."
Qi Zimo's expression was cold as he stared at Ye Zifeng, "Also, he's not as simple as he looks. The reason why Bingqian was able to refine a high tier huang tier Yuan Increasing Pill is probably because of his guidance. We can't let our guard down!"
Under the observation of Mu Yun Old Devil, most of the participants had already entered the state of alchemy from the auction. She nodded in satisfaction and waved her long sleeves. Her white robes fluttered lightly as she smiled.
"Now, I'll explain the rules. The time limit is still one hour. Even though you can concoct pills freely, the quality and quantity of pills will be used as the basis for the test. Also, everyone listen up. Everyone can't concoct more than three pills!"
She looked around for a while. Suddenly, her gaze fell on Ye Feng. She directly asked, "Ye Feng. Do you have any other questions?"
She was afraid that Ye Zifeng would have some strange ideas so she asked him first.
Ye Zifeng, on the other hand, had already recovered from his excitement and regained his composure.
"I just happen to have a question that I'd like to ask. When we're refining pills later, will our three groups be far apart from each other?" He smiled faintly and asked casually.
"Distance? Does it matter if we're close or far? "Muyun Old Devil's eyes were filled with confusion.
Ye Feng's expression was indifferent. A bright light flashed across his eyes.
"Since the distance doesn't matter, I suggest that the three of us can concoct pills together. This way, it'll be convenient for the audience to watch our competition, and it'll be convenient for the seniors to focus their attention, so they can judge our alchemy skills more directly."
"This ….."
Muyun Old Devil stared at Ye Zifeng for a long time. She didn't know what he was trying to say so she looked over at Qi Zimo and Hua Shao.
