Since there is no alchemy formula for refining high-grade elixirs, and he won't make much progress by refining mid-grade elixirs again, and the time for the alchemy competition is approaching, with only three days left, Ye Tianfan decided to go out and clear his mind, as he had been refining elixirs almost every day for the past three months and was already somewhat exhausted.

  Ye Tianfan walked on the shaded path, looking at the flowers and grass all over the ground, as well as the butterflies and bees that flew up and hovered from time to time. He felt his spirits lift instantly, and the fatigue of the past few days was also greatly reduced.

  Unconsciously, Ye Tianfan walked onto the square of Danling Peak. He found that many people were queuing there and curiously walked over.

  Arriving at the back of the queue, Ye Tianfan found someone who looked quite kind and asked: "Brother, what are you all queuing up for?"

  "You don't even know this!" The inner door disciple turned around and looked at Ye Tianfan with an expression that seemed to say, "You're so out of touch." However, the senior brother continued, "Yesterday, today, and tomorrow are the three days for disciples participating in the alchemy competition to sign up. Everyone is lining up to register."

  Ye Tianfan was suddenly shocked and hastily asked: "How did I not know? No one has ever told me, fortunately I came out to clear my mind and saw it, otherwise I would have regretted it."

  "This must be because you haven't been paying attention to these things lately, but it's not like it would make a difference even if a rookie like you participated." The senior brother said with pride.

  As for Ye Tianfan's pride, he didn't mind it. Who doesn't have a proud heart? So Ye Tianfan said: "Yes, indeed I don't have much hope, and I came here not to compete for ranking, but to broaden my horizons."

  The senior brother listened with a look of understanding on his face, apparently thinking that this was normal, and then turned around to focus on lining up.

  Ye Tianfan felt fortunate that he was able to arrive here at the time of registration, so he didn't say much more and didn't ask anything else.

  It was soon Ye Tianfan's turn, and after hastily reporting his name and receiving his number plate, he returned. The number plate was the certificate for the trial platform prepared for the participants on the day of the trial, and each participant would find their position with their own number plate when they arrived.

  Three days later, the trial finally took place as scheduled. On this day, Ye Tianfan rushed to the scene early, after all, he was completely unclear about the rules of this trial, and could only rely on his eyes to feel his way through.

  Ye Tianfan arrived very early, but a large number of people had already arrived, and most of them were participants in the trial, only a small part of whom came to watch the excitement.

  After half an hour, all the participants had arrived, and Dan Daozi, the master of Danling Peak, also came, as the supervisor of this trial. He would watch the entire competition process, after all, the main purpose of Danling Peak was to provide elixirs for the sect, so it's easy to imagine how much attention they paid to this trial. Beside him stood an old cultivator with a long beard.

  Dandouzhi came to the already prepared judging platform, sat down and said: "This time's competition is because of the disciples from the five peaks of gold, wood, water, fire and earth coming, so let's wait for a while." After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes to meditate.

  Before long, the masters of several peaks arrived with their respective disciples as scheduled. Ye Tianfan took a look and saw that each peak had about ten or twenty people participating. Compared to the hundreds of people from Danling Peak, it was really too few. The number of participants from all the other peaks combined was not even close to that of Danling Peak. At this time, Dandaozi also stood up.

  As usual, Jin Lingfeng's master stood in the middle, while the masters of the other four spiritual peaks stood on either side.

  "Still, the master of Jinling Peak spoke first: "Dan Daozi, we haven't arrived late, have we? We rushed here as soon as we gathered. And, surprisingly, even our sect's alchemy master, Dan Chen, has come. It seems that this trial is being taken very seriously."

  "No, I just arrived a little while ago. Everyone please sit down. Since everyone is here now, let's get started. This time, Dan Lao was able to come mainly because he had been cultivating for a long time and wanted to take a break. Coincidentally, the dan trial is about to begin, so I invited Dan Lao over."

  "Hehe, recently I've indeed been feeling a bit stifled and wanted to come out for some fresh air. And then Dan Daozi insisted on inviting me, so under the circumstances of being treated with such hospitality, I had no choice but to swallow my pride and come." Old Dan said with a smile.

  Upon hearing Dan Lao's words, everyone hastily said: "How could that be? We're thrilled to have you come watch this match, we can't wait!"

  No one dares to speak ill of Dan Lao, otherwise if Dan Lao were to cut off his own alchemy, he would not even have a place to cry, after all everyone is clear about the importance of Dan Lao to this sect.

  Everyone sat down, Dan Daozi stood up and said to the disciples standing below: "To all the disciples present, I am very happy that so many of you can participate in this competition. For this competition, I have specially invited our sect's only alchemy master, everyone welcome."

  The scene below was suddenly filled with cheers and gasps of surprise, apparently shocked by the arrival of the Alchemy Sect Master. The majority of the disciples participating in the trial secretly made up their minds to perform well during their own trials.

  If one were to receive help from a master alchemist during the trial, their future path of cultivation would surely be much smoother.

  Then there are the five peaks of our Muling Sect's Golden Wood Water Fire Earth, and everyone is welcome," said Dan Daozi.

  The audience below suddenly erupted into another round of cheers and applause, apparently thrilled to have encountered so many peak masters at once. After all, it was difficult for them to even meet one peak master normally.

  "Alright, now I'll introduce the rules of the competition. First, due to the large number of participants, I've decided to hold a preliminary round. The content of this round is to refine a furnace of Qingling Dan that enhances the foundation-building period cultivation. After you all finish refining it, we will evaluate your performance based on the quality and quantity of the elixir produced. Those who fail in the refinement will be eliminated directly."

  As soon as Dan Daozi's words came out, some people were delighted and others worried. Those who were happy were definitely those who had great confidence in refining this elixir, while those who were worried were naturally those who were not pure enough.

  Ye Tianfan was quite familiar with this kind of elixir, after all, it was just a popularized elixir for improving cultivation.

  "Alright, all participants should find their positions according to the numbers on their plates." Dan Daozi didn't wait for everyone's reaction and continued.

  When everyone heard Dan Daozi's words, they quickly found their own seats. Ye Tianfan also followed the crowd to find his seat. Ye Tianfan was number 231, so he looked at each alchemy platform in sequence and soon found it. Ye Tianfan was in a middle position.
