Due to the departure of the two, Ye Tianfan's interest was not very high. After grooming himself, Ye Tianfan hurried on his way at the extreme speed that he could currently display with his Golden Elixir initial stage cultivation. As a result, Ye Tianfan returned to the sect in just over two days.

  Returning to the sect, Ye Tianfan found that the sect had become much more lively recently. After asking around, he learned that a Dan-refining competition was about to be held, which only inner disciples could participate in, and inner disciples from other peaks could also join in.

  Ye Tianfan wasn't very concerned about the competition after hearing about it, but the next piece of news made him take this trial to heart. Because the person who told Ye Tianfan the news said that not only would this trial reward a pill that helps improve cultivation, but there would also be an opportunity to enter the Inner Sect's Cang Jing Pavilion for free for ten days.

  Because of this, the number of people participating in this alchemy competition is overwhelming, and most of them are extremely powerful individuals, with the majority being at the Golden Dan stage. They were all attracted by the opportunity to obtain elixirs and borrow books for ten days. After all, if one wanted to gain access to the library for ten days through completing tasks, they would have to complete at least ten tasks, and those tasks had to be of a similar or even higher level than the ones Ye Tianfan had completed himself. As for Foundation Building stage disciples, they would need to complete at least five or six tasks just to gain access for one day.

  Don't think that ten tasks are a small number. After all, for the kind of task Ye Tianfan has, it usually takes at least three months to complete one task, and for ten tasks, it would take at least three years. This can be seen from this.

  Three years may not be a long time for a cultivator, but in the intense competitive environment of the inner sect, one might already be left far behind by people with similar levels. Moreover, there is also the reward of that dan medicine which increases the chances of forming a nascent soul, if obtained, it will definitely make one a top-notch disciple within the inner sect.

  For such a good opportunity, Ye Tianfan attaches great importance to it. After all, if he only completes tasks like killing Huo Yan Snake, it would take him three years, which is too long. Moreover, he had already estimated that the books in the Cang Jing Pavilion would take him about 11 or 12 days to finish reading. If he could win the competition, he would save at least two years of time.

  For this, Ye Tianfan specially inquired about the trial time and learned that there were still three months left. Ye Tianfan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking to himself: There's still a chance, he can use his own points to find more books on alchemy, add them to the dan formulas he already has, and with the help of his intelligent brain, he should have a good chance of success.

  Thinking of this, Ye Tianfan hastily walked towards the task delivery building, wanting to complete his task early and prepare for alchemy.

  When he arrived, Ye Tianfan saw the old man who had assigned him the task still assigning tasks to others. Seeing many people lined up in front of him to receive their tasks, Ye Tianfan also hastily ran over and joined the queue.

  It was soon Ye Tianfan's turn. He said politely: "Prefect, I've come to hand in my task. I hope you'll inspect it."

  "You really finished the task, how is that possible? I saw you come to me, and I thought you were going to give up on this task?" The executive was clearly quite surprised that Ye Tianfan had actually come to hand in the task.

  Ye Tianfan knew that it was unlikely to be believed without producing strong evidence, so Ye Tianfan didn't say much and directly poured the flame snake corpse he had prepared early on beside the executor.

  Before the executor could speak, someone exclaimed in surprise: "This flame snake is already comparable to a late-stage Golden Elixir cultivator. This unfamiliar senior brother can actually kill it, it's really too impressive." In the cultivation world, strength was revered, so despite Ye Tianfan looking very young, at least much younger than them, those people still addressed Ye Tianfan as "senior brother".

  Seeing Ye Tianfan complete such a task, people were amazed and flattered, but Ye Tianfan was not impressed by these people.

  The executor saw that Ye Tianfan had really brought back the flame snake described in the task, and he couldn't help but believe it. So the executor asked: "Little guy, would you mind telling me about the process of killing this demon beast?"

  Even if the officer didn't ask, Ye Tianfan would still tell him about the process of killing the demon beast that he had fabricated. So Ye Tianfan took the opportunity to say: "Of course I can, even if you don't ask me, I will still say it."

  The deacon suddenly made a listening gesture, and the inner door disciples also perked up their ears, apparently all very curious about how Ye Tianfan killed the demon beast.

  "Firstly, I felt that I was about to break through the Golden Elixir stage during my nearly half-month journey. So, I waited until after breaking through the Golden Elixir stage before completing the task. I believe you can see that I'm already in the Golden Elixir stage now, right?"

  "Huh, I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't said anything. It's a great stroke of luck that you were able to break through during the task, but you still haven't told me how you killed that demon beast. With your current cultivation at the early stage of the Golden Elixir, I'm afraid it would be impossible for you to defeat the Flame Snake, which is only slightly weaker than a Yuan Ying stage cultivator in magma." The old man continued to ask after confirming Ye Tianfan's cultivation.

  Ye Tianfan hastily replied, "Sir, you are wise to see through this. Indeed, although my cultivation appears to be only at the early stage of Golden Elixir, I can actually exert power comparable to that of the late stage of Golden Elixir. However, compared to this demon beast, I am still far inferior. When we fought, I could only dodge its attacks and barely had any chance to counterattack. So, I had no choice but to flee. It seemed like it was guarding something and didn't give chase."

  "How did you kill this demon beast then?" The officer asked hastily, becoming even more curious after hearing Ye Tianfan's answer.

  "It just so happened that I was lucky, and when I went to the magma cave for the second time to investigate, I found a cultivator who was fighting with it. However, his strength was about the same as mine, and after he couldn't beat it, he retreated. After he left, I caught up with him and chatted with him, and learned that he didn't need the demon beast itself, but rather the fire lotus that it guarded. So we joined forces and decided to take down the demon beast together." Ye Tianfan said to the executive with a vivid expression.

  "What's next?" A person who was listening to Ye Tianfan's account of the events couldn't help but ask when he saw that Ye Tianfan had stopped talking. The executor also looked at him with questioning eyes, clearly wanting to know the outcome as well.

  "As a result, the two of us worked together, I took the lead and he defended. We also created a fire lotus that wasn't meant to kill it, but rather make it guard, which made the beast exhausted from responding. Finally, taking advantage of an opening, we launched a sneak attack and severely injured it. Only then did we have the opportunity to strike and kill it." Ye Tianfan said, seeing everyone's curiosity, not wanting to provoke their anger.

  The executor listened and saw Ye Tianfan's lucky expression, apparently believing Ye Tianfan's words. Seeing the executor's appearance, Ye Tianfan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he didn't want to be treated as a spy by the sect.

  As for those who were listening to Ye Tianfan's words, they only had envy, jealousy and hatred left, but Ye Tianfan didn't care about them anymore.

  "Bring me your ID badge, and I'll give you the points." Since everything had been clarified, and Ye Tianfan had indeed completed the task, he should have gotten the task points, so the executor said.

  Ye Tianfan hastily handed the jade plate to the executive, and his heart was overjoyed. That's 4,000 points, which is not a small amount for any inner door disciple.

  Ye Tianfan happily took the identity jade card from the steward's hand and bid farewell, after all, he still had people waiting to hand over tasks behind him. The steward didn't say anything, still issuing tasks there. But in his heart, he was muttering that Ye Tianfan's luck was really good, and he didn't know if what he said was true or not.
