Chapter 61: Left hand, right hand, a slow motion!

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could this trash possibly do it?"

Nangong Bai Xue furrowed their brows.

She could not believe it!

She looked toward Ye Chen's direction; Ye Chen sat cross-legged, eyes closed, cultivating.

Nangong Bai Xue bit her lip and said, "Really putting on an act! This trash Ye Chen is becoming more and more hypocritical! With this little time, what can they cultivate?"

Several hours later.

All the disciples inside the barrier came out.

Everyone complained that the difficulty of this herbalism exam was extremely high.

Several geniuses from the Yao family wore solemn expressions, "I only completed eighty percent of the questions this time! Too hard!"

Another genius said, "The questions being hard is hard for everyone; that's how we create a gap! If the questions were easy, everyone would get them right—how then could we differentiate herbalism skill?"

A woman smiled faintly, "Even our Yao family can only manage eighty percent; the other factions' geniuses will do even worse!"

Saying that, they turned their gaze toward the Danxiang Sect.

The disciples of the Danxiang Sect all wore bitter expressions.

The genius pill refiners from other factions clutched their heads, looking deep in thought, evidently having suffered a great blow.

Just then.

Gu Yuefang, Yunyang Pill Sage, Danxiang Master, and others all rose into the air.

Boom boom boom!

Above the Void, divine radiance surged; the majesty of a sage king was like an abyss, like a sea.

Gu Yuefang glanced at the many disciples below, smiled faintly, "The difficulty of this herbalism exam is indeed great! If one can complete seventy percent, their herbalism is already excellent; if eighty percent, it is profound."

Hearing that, many geniuses of the Yao family showed smiles on their faces.

Profound!

They did not disgrace the Yao family.

Gu Yuefang flicked their sleeve, and above the Void appeared an incredibly brilliant Spirit Pattern Ranking List.

"First place: Great Dao Sect, Ye Chen!"

"Second place: Yao Family, Yao Huanhuan!"

"Third place: Yao Family, Yao Bei Xuan!"

"Fourth place: Danxiang Sect, Luoyin!"

"......"

In an instant, the venue erupted in an uproar.

The top ten were almost completely taken by the Yao family and the Danxiang Sect!

Six from the Yao family, three from the Danxiang Sect!

Nangong Bai Xue searched for their name on the list, scanning downward, and finally found themselves at the three-hundredth place.

She wore a gloomy expression, "I'm not that weak; this list might be flawed."

At that moment, all the genius pill refiners stared at Ye Chen in utter shock.

Ye Chen actually came first in herbalism?

Yao Huanhuan slowly rose, bowed respectfully to Gu Yuefang, and asked, "Senior Gu, how many questions did Ye Chen answer correctly?"

Gu Yuefang laughed, "All correct!"

All correct!

The venue fell into deadly silence!

How is this possible!

Yao Huanhuan is known as the Yao family's once-in-a-thousand-years pill refinement genius; she has thoroughly studied the Yao family's Herbal Classic, and is acclaimed as a moving "Complete Herbal Encyclopedia".

Even she only completed four hundred questions; how could Ye Chen finish them all?

Suddenly.

Nangong Bai Xue stood up, pointed at Ye Chen, and said, "Master, I think Ye Chen definitely cheated!"

Hearing that, Yunyang Pill Sage looked embarrassed, and sent a mental transmission to Nangong Bai Xue: "Sit down!"

Nangong Bai Xue frowned slightly, did not sit down, and said to Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, if you are a man, admit that you cheated!"

Ye Chen merely said two words lightly, "Idiot!"

At this moment.

"Ye Chen did not cheat!" Danxiang Master said lightly, turning their gaze to Nangong Bai Xue, "Rather than belittling others, better to improve yourself! That is all I have to say."

Upon these words,

Everyone looked at Nangong Bai Xue.

Her face instantly flushed red, and she collapsed directly onto the ground.

She could not believe it.

Why could that trash Ye Chen answer everything correctly?

When did Ye Chen become a pill refiner?

Moments later.

Gu Yuefang flicked their sleeve and began to announce, "The second round, the pill refinement competition begins! A total of three hundred pill refiners have advanced!"

Nangong Bai Xue happened to be the last one!

Yao Huanhuan looked at Ye Chen, smiled faintly, "I very much look forward to Ye Chen's pill refinement level."

Yao Bai Li chuckled and said, "This kid is indeed not bad."

In the end, proficiency with plants and trees is merely theory.

Soon.

The three hundred genius alchemists who had advanced walked toward the barrier.

Nangong Baixue resentfully glanced at Ye Chen and murmured, "Ye Chen, I won't let you off."

During alchemy, one can engage in soul combat; she intends to cripple Ye Chen!

On this trip to the Grand Dao Sect, because of Ye Chen, she has embarrassed herself too much!

This trash!

She dare not imagine how Qin Xiao would view her if he learned of this.

Soon.

The three hundred genius alchemists have already stepped into the barrier.

Gu Yuefang said, "You have four days to freely concoct any pills. Afterwards, we will comprehensively evaluate your results based on the pills' grade, potency, difficulty, etc."

The voice fell!

Everyone immediately brought out their alchemy furnaces, heating them while preparing spiritual herbs.

Ye Chen looked toward the void, "Ancient Peak Master, could you lend me an alchemy furnace and a strand of spirit fire?"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

Ye Chen has no alchemy furnace or spirit fire?

Nangong Baixue snorted, "You haven't even prepared an alchemy furnace or spirit fire, yet you dare to concoct pills? How embarrassing!"

Gu Yuefang glanced at Ye Chen, then at Lu Xuan, "Peak Master Lu, how have you been as a master? Where are Ye Chen's alchemy furnace and spirit fire?"

Lu Xuan was stunned.

No.

What does this have to do with him?

He can even take the blame for this!

Gu Yuefang casually flicked his wrist, and a storage ring flew toward Ye Chen.

Ye Chen received the storage ring, probed it with his divine sense, and was slightly shocked.

Inside the storage ring was a Saint-grade alchemy furnace, a strand of Profound Venerate-rank beast fire, and a vast amount of spiritual herbs!

Ye Chen respectfully said, "Thank you, Ancient Peak Master!"

Gu Yuefang nodded.

Ye Chen silently murmured in his heart, "Master, it's my fault!"

He summoned the Saint-grade alchemy furnace, began to nurture it, and simultaneously started preparing the spiritual herbs.

Ye Chen's movements flowed like clouds and water, exceedingly graceful; the spirit fire surged, wrapping the furnace in a halo, emitting a faint glow.

This time, he intends to concoct an Earth-rank fifth-grade pill, the Ground Origin Pill.

The Ground Origin Pill can nourish the soul and also strengthen and consolidate one's cultivation foundation; it can be said to be highly sought after.

Above the Void, Yao Bai Li watched Ye Chen's movements, somewhat shocked, "How can Ye Chen's fire control technique be so proficient? It's already nearing perfection!"

Dan Xiangzi slightly furrowed his brows, "His technique is not simple; it's naturally perfect. Without a hundred years of experience, others could never achieve this!"

Cangli Elder snorted, "Ancient Peak Master, you've hidden yourself deep this time!"

Gu Yuefang squeezed out a faint smile.

He really doesn't know anything at all!

He knows nothing about Ye Chen!

How did this brat train like this?

At the same time.

Nangong Baixue secretly transmitted voice to over a dozen fellow disciples of the Supreme Profound Sect.

"The price of a half-Saint weapon; you will help me attack Ye Chen later! Cripple Ye Chen!"

Some hesitated, "Isn't this inappropriate on the Grand Dao Sect's territory?"

Nangong Baixue directly said, "A Saint weapon! As long as Ye Chen is crippled, each of you will receive one Saint weapon, plus an additional 200,000 top-grade spirit stones!"

Hearing this, everyone agreed.

Nangong Baixue said, "When Ye Chen reaches the critical moment in his pill concoction, we will strike!"

The crowd replied, "Good."

Several hours later.

Ye Chen began extracting the essence from each spiritual herb, then poured it into the alchemy furnace.

His hand seals shifted, the spirit fire constantly changing shape, refining the herbal essence.

A wisp of vapor slowly rose from the furnace.

Dan Xiangzi was somewhat shocked, "Look, Ye Chen's alchemy technique—I've never seen anything like it!"

Yao Bai Li, the Yunyang Pill Saint, examined closely, and their hearts were overturned by tremendous waves.

Ye Chen's alchemy method was naturally perfect, exuding a hint of "Dao" and "rhyme"!

How is this possible?

Ye Chen is not a Heaven-rank alchemist!

Only a Heaven-rank alchemist can achieve this!

Cangli Elder's eyes were like ink, "This is not the alchemy method of Gu Yuefang's lineage, nor the Yao family's, nor the Dan Xiangzi Sect's... I have never seen such an alchemy method!"

Saying this, Cangli Elder sat cross-legged and carefully observed Ye Chen's alchemy.

His hand seals shifted, he was in the process of replicating Ye Chen's alchemy method!

After several dozen breaths.

Elder Cangli suddenly burst into laughter, "Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! I never expected that coming to the Great Dao Sect on this trip would yield such a harvest!"

His body erupted with rays of brilliant light; he had actually gained some insight!

Danxiangzi, lost in thought, also sat cross-legged directly, emitting a faint divine radiance, began to comprehend Ye Chen's alchemy method.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

In a moment, above the Void, dozens of alchemists all sat cross-legged.

They all discovered that Ye Chen's alchemy method was profoundly intricate!

The more they looked, the more their hearts trembled!

It was as if a Dan Emperor were alchemizing!

Seeing this scene, the alchemists watching on the ground were all stunned.

How did these Heavenly Tier alchemists suddenly gain insight?

Suddenly, someone cried out, "Look closely! Elder Cangli, Senior Danxiangzi, their hand signs are exactly the same as Ye Chen's!"

Everyone immediately compared Ye Chen with the myriad Heavenly Tier alchemists!

They were stunned like wooden chickens!

How could this be possible?

A group of Heavenly Tier alchemists actually were comprehending Ye Chen's alchemy method?

In the next instant.

Someone had already sat cross-legged, began to replicate Ye Chen's alchemy method, their breathing rapid, "Ye Chen's alchemy method is too profound, intertwining the Dao and rhythm; if I can comprehend it, my alchemy will surely advance tremendously!"

The voice fell!

Other alchemists also followed suit.

Heaven and earth, everyone was imitating Ye Chen's alchemy method!

Tens of thousands of alchemists moved in sync, all emulating Ye Chen!

Ye Chen's left hand, right hand made a slow motion; those tens of thousands of alchemists also made a slow motion with left hand, right hand.

It was utterly neat and uniform!

Only Lu Xuan looked at the crowd with a puzzled expression.

This scene, the sight was too beautiful!

Lu Xuan couldn't help muttering, "Come, left side, let's draw a dragon together; right side, let's draw a rainbow together…"

In this realm, all the alchemists seemed somewhat possessed.

He sat leisurely in the middle, appearing somewhat out of place!

This matter was too shocking, directly alarming Mu Lao, the Cangxuan Old Ancestor, the Sect Leader, and others.

With a boom, the Cangxuan Old Ancestor and others descended into the depths of the Void.

They looked down with some shock.

The Sect Leader's body trembled slightly, "How could Ye Chen's alchemy method cause such a commotion? These Heavenly Tier alchemists are actually learning from Ye Chen?"
