Chapter 3244: Chapter 4021: Despicable! (Third Update)

Sizzle sizzle sizzle!

That Chu Dan was frantically absorbing the surrounding Hongmeng Aura, gradually becoming warm and smooth. A faint layer of Holy Buddha Golden Light even emanated from its surface.

"It’s the Heavenly Dragon Eight Divine Sounds!"

"Turns out this kid actually mastered the Thirty-Three Heavenly Hongmeng Technique."

On the judges’ panel, Qian and Kun’s faces instantly changed when they saw Ye Chen’s skills.

Heavenly Dragon Eight Divine Sounds, within the Thirty-Three Heavenly Hongmeng Technique, is powerful enough to rank eighth, being an extremely formidable divine power.

Their expressions changed, not because the Heavenly Dragon Eight Divine Sounds were so defying, but because this competition’s prize, Dharma Flower Annihilation Heaven, is a pair with the Heavenly Dragon Eight Divine Sounds.

If Ye Chen wins and masters the Dharma Flower Annihilation Heaven, using it in conjunction with the Heavenly Dragon Eight Divine Sounds, he will transform into the Heavenly Buddha Venerate. With just one finger, he could suppress mountains and rivers, annihilate stars.

By then, if Ye Chen wants to kill them, it would be as easy as cutting grass, without any effort.

"If he wins, we’re doomed."

Qian and Kun were deeply terrified, aware that if Ye Chen obtained the Dharma Flower Annihilation Heaven, they wouldn’t even know how they died.

"Don’t worry, he can’t win. Master Danhuang is so powerful, how could the championship of this Pill Venerate Conference possibly go to him? Moreover, we’re the judges. Who’s first is still up to us!"

Qian and Kun thought of this point, their faces relaxed instantly, feeling much more composed.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen was watching the situation inside the alchemy cauldron.

After absorbing the Hongmeng Aura, the Seven Star Heavenly Heart Pill was officially refined, a smooth and snow-white pill, suspended inside the furnace, emitting wisps of fragrance. Layers and layers of golden light, little points of starlight, continuously circulated around the pill, displaying an incomparably magnificent appearance.

"The Seven Star Heavenly Heart Pill is complete!"

Ye Chen slapped the furnace wall. With a bang, the Seven Star Heavenly Heart Pill, trailing a wisp of golden light, flew out.

He picked up a jade box and placed the Seven Star Heavenly Heart Pill inside. The time spent in alchemy was only half an hour.

"He finished refining the pill so quickly."

"This kid truly has some ability."

"Haha, no wonder he refused to acknowledge Master Danhuang and Qian and Kun as his masters."

In the audience, many eyes were cast over.

Previously, everyone had been focusing their attention on Danhuang Yang Lie, not paying much attention to Ye Chen. Now that Ye Chen had successfully refined a pill, it drew everyone’s eyes.

Among all the alchemists present, only Ye Chen was the first to refine a pill.

"Interesting."

Danhuang Yang Lie saw this and gave a faint smile, not expecting Ye Chen to be so fast.

If it were simply refining one pill, his speed would not be slower than Ye Chen. But now, refining three different pills at the same time, it was impossible for him to succeed so quickly.

"Could this kid take the second place?"

Yang Teng felt a bit nervous. Unexpectedly, Ye Chen had already refined a pill so quickly. If he took the second place, his loss would be significant. After all, the prizes in this Pill Venerate Conference were very generous. Even the second place had many spirit stones, magic treasures, and Heaven and Earth Spiritual Materials as rewards.

"This kid has some tricks, no wonder the young lady is so infatuated with him."

Qing Family’s elder, Qing Zhen Nan, slightly narrowed his eyes, not expecting Ye Chen to be so fast either. He was still in the refining material stage, while Ye Chen’s pill was already completed.

"Truly a genius of the Divine Kingdom, such impressive skills. If he could be recruited under the Emperor Abyss Palace, it would be excellent."

Over at the Emperor Abyss Palace, Sikong Lie gazed at Ye Chen with a mind stirred by thoughts of recruitment.

He originally intended to eliminate Ye Chen, but witnessing Ye Chen’s exquisite alchemy skill made him change his mind.

After all, an alchemist has immense value in the growth and strength of a sect’s power. If someone can be recruited, it’s naturally better.

Poof!

While he was lost in thought, his alchemy cauldron suddenly emitted a muffled sound.

One by one, the herbs fell to the bottom of the furnace, turning into black charcoal.

"Failed."

Sikong Lie shook his head immediately. Alchemy does not tolerate distraction. He just got slightly distracted, lost control of the flame, and burned the herbs to charcoal.

Fortunately, there are two chances in alchemy. He still had one set of herbs.

"Forget it, I’ll just withdraw."

Sikong Lie thought for a moment but didn’t attempt to make pills again. Instead, he turned around and left, withdrawing from the competition on the spot.

In this Pill Venerate Conference, the branch of Emperor Abyss Palace only sent him to try his luck. If he won, even better. If not, it was no big deal.

Seeing the skills of Danhuang Yang Lie and Ye Chen, Sikong Lie knew he had no chance of winning the championship, not even qualifying for second place. So he chose to retire decisively, without any hesitation.

"This kid, if there’s a chance, he must be brought into the fold."

Sikong Lie looked deeply at Ye Chen, turning and leaving.

Sikong Lie’s departure did not garner much attention because everyone’s eyes were focused entirely on Danhuang Yang Lie and Ye Chen.

"There’s still an hour and a half."

Ye Chen took a deep breath, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

Just refining the Seven Star Heavenly Heart Pill had indeed exhausted quite a bit of his strength.

But with time pressing, he had no opportunity to rest.

"Begin the second round of refining!"

Ye Chen took a deep breath, starting the second round of refining.

There were still two types of pills left, namely the Shattering Nirvana Bone Tempering Pill and the Purple Extreme God Nourishing Pill.

He first picked up the Pill Recipe Scroll of the Purple Extreme God Nourishing Pill, silently comprehending.

The Purple Extreme God Nourishing Pill is a pill that nourishes the divine soul. Its medicinal effect, compared to the Shattering Nirvana Bone Tempering Pill, is much milder, and it’s a bit easier to refine.

"To refine the Purple Extreme God Nourishing Pill, the required materials are Divine Heart Grass, Spiritual Water Jade, Danxia Wood, Snake Grass, Heavenly Emperor Jade, Heavenly Palace Divine Water..."

Ye Chen closed his eyes, comprehending the various wonderful methods within the pill recipe.

Suddenly, he sensed a trace of danger.

"Something’s wrong, this pill recipe has an issue!"

Ye Chen suddenly opened his eyes, sensing in the void that the pill recipe for the Purple Extreme God Nourishing Pill had been tampered with; a certain step in the alchemy process was definitely incorrect.

"Qian and Kun, it’s you again!"

Ye Chen gritted his teeth, his eyes turning to the judges’ panel.

"Did this kid notice again?"

"Impossible, we only changed a single word. There’s no way he could detect a problem in the pill recipe!"

Qian and Kun looked at Ye Chen’s gaze, their hearts skipped a beat.

They had indeed tampered with the pill recipe of the Purple Extreme God Nourishing Pill, but the evidence of tampering was extremely subtle, with only one word altered. Even if the legendary Ancient Immemorial Pill Master came back to life, they may not notice anything amiss.

But now, Ye Chen detected the anomaly. How did he manage it?

Qian and Kun were unaware that Ye Chen had trained the Heavenly Demon Bright Eye, which allowed him to catch glimpses of fortune and calamity in the void. As such, he could foresee any situation detrimental to him.

In an instant, Ye Chen discovered that the Pill Recipe Scroll had one word tampered with. A step that should have been "Combined Pill" was altered to "Shattered Pill."
