Muyun Old Devil nodded and looked at Qi Zimo, "What about you, Zimo?"
"I ….." Qi Zimo had a serious expression on his face. He felt that Ye Zifeng's actions weren't as good as he made it sound. However, he couldn't figure out what Ye Zifeng's intentions were.
If that's the case, then why not be generous and see what Ye Zifeng wants to do?
"I don't mind either. I can accept it."
"Alright. Since you guys don't have any objections, then let's go with Ye Zifeng's suggestion ….."
After Muyun Old Devil obtained the agreement of the two, she gave the Iron Guards a look, indicating that they could start moving.
She didn't know what Ye Zifeng's intentions were but she knew that since Ye Zifeng was on her disciple's side, then his actions should be beneficial to the competition. She didn't mind helping Ye Zifeng out as long as it was within the rules.
Thus, after a while, Ye Zifeng's cauldron was placed in between Qi Zimo and Hua Shao.
The three pill furnaces each formed a corner, standing side by side in pairs, vaguely resembling a three-legged tripod.
"Now, I will announce that the second round of the alchemy competition has officially begun!" When Muyun Old Devil's sharp voice rang out, the contestants' expressions immediately became tense and solemn.
What was different from before was that he was free to refine pills this time, so he didn't need to refine any pills. Moreover, he could only refine three types of pills at most. Therefore, choosing the right medicinal ingredients became the most important thing.
"Big brother rough guy, look, there are Chalcedony Grass, Dragon Leaf, Silver Horn Fruit, and Scarlet Essence Lotus. Why don't we refine a Golden Essence Pill?" Liu Bing Qian flipped through the pile of herbs for a long time and smiled sweetly.
"Bingqian, don't be impatient. Let's take a look first." Ye Zifeng smiled.
Liu Bing Qian revealed a puzzled expression. She raised her head and sized up the other two groups.
They were still carefully staring at the dazzling array of medicinal ingredients, and were not in a hurry to make a decision. After all, they could only refine three pills in total, and could not casually take the medicinal ingredients to refine.
Ye Zifeng smiled, "There's plenty of time. Don't be impatient. You should know that the most important thing in alchemy is the quality of the pills. Pills like the Gold Marrow Pill, which can be used by Qi Condensation cultivators, are obviously not high enough. "
"Then … What kind of pill should we refine …" A hint of doubt appeared on Liu Bing Qian's pretty face. She had never entered the second round of the competition and would always run away with her tail between her legs. Her skill in this area was practically a blank piece of paper.
"Wait for a bit. There's no rush ….. I'll personally fight in the second stage." Ye Zifeng comforted Bingqian and had a strange smile on his face.
"Really? That's great! " When Liu Bing Qian heard that Ye Feng was finally willing to personally take action, a look of joy appeared on her pretty face.
During the first part of the competition, other than lighting up the fire, Ye Zifeng stayed behind the scenes. He let Bingqian concoct the pills by herself.
But now, because of Qi Zimo's existence, even Ye Zifeng felt pressured. He had no choice but to personally make a move.
Of course, this was because Ye Zifeng's cultivation was too low. He couldn't even condense a common flame. Under the same circumstances, Ye Zifeng would definitely be able to suppress his opponent.
"Look. That Hua Shao can't wait anymore and wants to concoct pills …." Ye Zifeng smiled and gave Bingqian a look.
Bingqian's eyes lit up and immediately looked towards Hua Shao.
Sure enough, Young Master Hua and his servants were very nimble. After rummaging through the pile of medicinal ingredients, they picked out the graveyard moss, sungrass, peacebloom, mountain sage, ghost mushroom and so on, and placed them all to the side.
"From the looks of it, he's going to concoct a Spirit Nurturing Pill for Martial Disciples right?" Ye Zifeng nodded. He could tell what Hua Shao Hua wanted to concoct right away.
Bingqian sighed, "Spirit Nurturing Pill? Hua Shao really is amazing. To think that he could concoct a Martial Disciple pill in such a short amount of time. "
She had been suppressed by Yi Hao and Xu Zhen for so long. Hua Shao couldn't even catch up to her. However, in reality, it wasn't that her alchemy skills were inferior to Hua Shao's. The only difference was in the ingredients.
Ye Zifeng smiled and didn't comment on her evaluation. He looked over at Qi Zimo and saw that Qi Zimo was still staring at the ingredients. He looked like he was thinking about something. From time to time, he would look over at Ye Zifeng. It seems like he was waiting for Ye Zifeng to concoct pills first.
"Big brother rough guy ….. How about we start concocting as well?"
Bingqian nervously looked at Ye Zifeng and saw him smiling at her, indicating that it was fine.
Liu Bingqian's heart skipped a beat. However, after the first match, she trusted Ye Zifeng to the max. Thus, no matter what he says, Bingqian will listen to him.
In the end, after a while, Qi Zimo couldn't control his temper. He looked at Ye Zifeng again and didn't want to wait anymore. He casually picked a few ingredients from the pile and prepared to concoct pills.
Even though he casually picked a few ingredients, Ye Zifeng was able to see through it. He furrowed his brows, "Qi Zimo is concocting a Supreme True Yuan Pill."
"What? It's actually a Supreme True Yuan Pill? " Hearing this, Bingqian's eyes flashed with a strange light. She couldn't help but think back to the Heavenly Clan Gathering and the profound tier Supreme True Yuan Pill that Wang Tianzhi obtained. She didn't think that in such a short period of time, she would be able to personally witness someone concoct a pill.
"Alright, since they've already made their move, let's start concocting as well." Ye Zifeng saw that it was about time. When he turned around, his expression became serious.
Bingqian panicked, "What should we do. Big brother rough guy, they're concocting such a powerful pill. How should we deal with them?"
"Bingqian, where did your confidence go?" Ye Zifeng smiled.
"That doesn't mean it's blind confidence. The reason why I had that bit of confidence just now was because of your existence … Speaking of which, can I look forward to the second round of the competition?"
Liu Bing Qian stared at Ye Feng with a faint smile on her face.
"At the very least, I'll help you win against Hua Shao." Ye Zifeng nodded and smiled.
"Really?" Bingqian's beautiful eyes were filled with splendor.
After entering the second round of the competition and getting rid of the last place ranking, she was already very satisfied. Now that she was able to take another step forward, she would naturally be extremely happy.
"But, is it really possible? Big brother rough guy, do you have any good ideas? "
Ye Zifeng paused for a bit and continued, "Bingqian, do you know why I suggested changing the distance between the three of us?" A light flashed in his eyes.
Liu Bingqian didn't know what Ye Zifeng's answer was. She could only stare at Ye Zifeng in confusion.
"You'll understand when I finish concocting the pill."
Bingqian saw that Ye Zifeng was still keeping her in suspense and had a rebuking expression on her face.
Ye Feng's expression suddenly changed. His words were certain.
"The ingredients that I'm going to talk about, you need to quickly take them out from the pile and put them into the cauldron. Don't let anyone see them. Got it?"
"Alright ….. Okay." Bingqian stared at Ye Zifeng. Why is he not letting anyone see him? Could it be that he's going to concoct some shameful pill?
However, before she could think about it clearly, Ye Feng had already quickly reported the number and name of the medicinal ingredients.
"Two stalks of Demonic Fog Grass, two Wild Steelflower, one Golden Thorn Fruit ….."
Bingqian's eyes flashed with panic. She quickly followed Ye Zifeng's instructions and took out the ingredients. She quickly placed them into the cauldron as fast as she could. Even if someone peeked, they wouldn't be able to guess what Ye Zifeng was trying to concoct.
On the other side, Ye Zifeng was like a door god, blocking Qi Zimo's line of sight. A strange smile appeared on his face.
Qi Zimo's sword servant was ordered to watch Ye Zifeng's movements. However, Ye Zifeng was blocking his sight and Bingqian's speed was extremely fast. He couldn't see anything at all.
"Master, what do we do? Because of that Ye Zifeng, I can't see what they're trying to concoct!" Qi Zimo had a bitter expression on his face.
Qi Zimo's expression was slightly stunned for a moment before he slowly raised his head.
"I didn't think that this Ye Zifeng would be scheming against us from the very beginning. He's treating us like real enemies now."
Ye Zifeng blocked Qi Zimo's line of sight and didn't block Hua Shao's line of sight. This was because he didn't care about Hua Shao's strength at all.
From what Ye Zifeng can see, even if Hua Shao stared at him the entire time, he wouldn't be able to guess what Ye Zifeng was trying to concoct.
"Interesting … I couldn't hold myself back for the first pill, so I refined it before him. I wonder if he'll be able to take advantage of this tiny flaw of mine and push me down from the first place of the competition. I'm really looking forward to it ….. "
