"Lin Feng, I just went to the Pill Pagoda and took a look; the number of participants in this Pill Assembly is likely to be the largest in history.

It seems they, too, are thick‑skinned and coming just to join the fun for the sake of the Three Thousand Blazing Flames."

But now these old monsters, for the sake of that Three Thousand Blazing Fire.

However, they all came out of seclusion, thick-skinned to join the fun.

Although he didn't know the specific details of the Burning Art, Lin Feng had told him that he could absorb various strange fires to boost his strength.

Therefore, Ye Chong was so excited.

After all, Lin Feng and the Ye Clan are basically bound together now.

Now those people coming to compete with Lin Feng for the strange fire is no different from fighting for his strange fire.

"Elder Ye Chong, just relax; with my current Alchemy Art, I dare not say I'll definitely get first place, but a top-ten finish is certainly no problem."

Seeing the unusually excited Ye Chong, Lin Feng smiled.

"This is different; even setting aside first place in the Pill Assembly and the qualification to become a candidate for the Pill Pagoda's head, not to mention that. The Three Thousand Flame Fire allows only one person to step forward each attempt to subdue it, and the order of subduing follows your rankings in the Pill Assembly."

"Therefore, whoever manages to take first place will have a higher chance of successfully subduing the Three Thousand Flame Fire."

Hearing those words, Ye Chong shook his head and rebutted.

"Hehe, they want to join the competition, we can't stop them either. Elder Ye Chong, instead of worrying about this here, you'd better help me gather some medicinal herbs."

Seeing his head-shaking, Lin Feng said helplessly.

After saying that, he lightly tapped his Storage Ring, took out a scroll filled with medicinal herbs, and flicked it toward the former.
