When they heard Dan Daozi's words, everyone left in twos and threes. Ye Tianfan also followed the crowd and walked out of the trial field.

  Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and during these three days, Ye Tianfan only went to deliver dan medicine to the shopkeeper once again, and didn't go anywhere else. It wasn't until Ye Tianfan arrived at the shopkeeper's place that he found out the shopkeeper had assumed Ye Tianfan already knew about the dan-making competition registration, so hadn't reminded him.

  Ye Tianfan was left speechless upon hearing this, after all he was just an ordinary disciple who had just entered the inner sect. How would he know so much? He had never participated in such a competition before and hadn't asked about the rules, how could he have known?

  Early this morning, Ye Tianfan arrived at the trial venue, and Dan Daozi was already there. The people who participated in the trial had also basically arrived, and it was clear that everyone's enthusiasm was quite high.

  Everyone has arrived, Dan Daozi said: "Today the main purpose is to watch the competition, so everyone must perform well. If not, you will not only be punished by the sect master, but I will also severely punish you."

  As soon as Dan Daozi said it, everyone suddenly understood why Feng Zhu had come so quickly. It turned out that he had come early to remind everyone because the sect master was coming, and wanted to leave a good impression on him after all, the sect master held the entire sect's lifeline in his hands.

  Half a time later, the sect master arrived, walking shoulder to shoulder with Dan Lao, and closely followed by the peak master of Wufeng. It was obvious that several people had gone to the sect master's place before coming over.

  Dan Daozi saw the Sect Master arrive and stood up, clasped his fists in both hands and said: "Dan Lingfeng Peak Master greets the Sect Master, please take a seat."

  Zong Zhu Mu Feng smiled and said, "Dandaozi, why be so polite? This time I came mainly because I heard that there are many people with good talent, so I came to take a look. Otherwise, I would still be teaching my precious apprentice. I hope you won't disappoint me." When talking about his own apprentice, Zong Zhu Mu Feng had a proud face and even raised his voice a lot.

  When the sect master mentioned his own disciple, everyone suddenly curiously asked: "Is it that unusual Ling Root with the Thunder Attribute who was accepted as a disciple last year?"

  When everyone asked about this, Mu Feng smiled and nodded, saying: "Not bad, Ling Yun's talent is rarely seen in my life. In this short period of time, her cultivation has made rapid progress."

  Seeing the appearance of the sect master, everyone became even more curious and asked: "I don't know what kind of cultivation this disciple has achieved, could it be that he has already broken through to the late stage of foundation building?"

  Upon hearing this, Mu Feng suddenly became somewhat displeased and said: "How could that be? My precious disciple had already broken through to the Golden Dan period seven days ago, just after building her foundation. I also came here while letting her consolidate her realm on her own."

  "What? It's actually been a year and you've reached the Golden Elixir stage, advancing an entire realm." Master Mu Feng's words instantly caused several people to exclaim in shock, even Dan Lao was somewhat surprised.

  Everyone was shocked, to know that generally, a dual-spirit root or triple-spirit root cultivator who wants to advance one rank usually takes at least a year, and wanting to improve one's realm generally requires at least five to seven years. The sect leader's hetero-spirit root disciple's cultivation speed is five times faster than ordinary cultivators.

  Seeing everyone's shocked expression, Zong Zhu Mu Feng gave the crowd another dose of strong medicine. He said: "What's the big deal? I was afraid that her realm would be unstable when she reached the early stage of Golden Elixir, so I deliberately slowed down her cultivation speed. Otherwise, she would have at least reached the middle stage of Golden Elixir."

  After hearing this, everyone did not react as much as the sect master had thought, apparently they were already numb from being shocked.

  Dandaozi thought to himself that he had accepted several true disciples and more than a dozen nominal disciples, but was not even half as good as other people's disciples. He didn't want to argue anymore, so he said: "It's getting late, let's start the competition."

  Tan Daozi's words were met with unanimous approval as soon as they fell, and although the sect leader Mu Feng wanted to say more, he saw that everyone's attitude was not good, so it was better not to say anything else. After all, provoking public anger is not conducive to the unity of the sect.

  Dan Daozi saw that everyone had agreed, so he stood up and said to the crowd below: "Those who are participating in the preliminary round, please go to your designated alchemy platform according to your number plate and get ready, the competition is about to begin."

  The people under the stage immediately ran to find their own seats, and Ye Tianfan also found his position. The entire alchemy platform had a total of ten rows, with five positions in each row. Ye Tianfan was in the third row, in the middle to upper reaches of the crowd.

  When everyone arrived, Dan Daozi said: "This time the competition will not require the refining of any specific elixir, that is to say, you can refine whatever elixir you want, and the materials are also for you to prepare by yourself. If you don't have them, then you can only be eliminated. After the elixirs are refined, we will evaluate and select the top three winners."

  As soon as Dan Daozi finished speaking, the faces of several people who participated in the trial suddenly became very unsightly, apparently they were not well-prepared with their medicinal materials. The sudden change in facial expressions of these few people immediately made everyone look at them.

  It seemed that they could no longer bear the gaze of the crowd, and several people left the alchemy platform in a hurry, their faces flushed with embarrassment, as they disappeared into the crowd.

  Seeing several people leave, Dan Daozi didn't pay much attention to them and instead said to the people who stayed: "You people who are staying behind shouldn't be too happy either, this trial has a time limit. You need to complete this alchemy within ten hours, if you exceed the time it will also be considered a failure in alchemy. Alright, let's begin now."

  At Dan Daozi's command, the people standing beside the alchemy platform hastily took out the medicinal materials they had prepared to refine their pills, clearly having a clear idea of what kind of pill they wanted to refine.

  Ye Tianfan thought for a moment about what kind of pill he should refine, then looked at the medicinal materials he had in his ring, and finally decided to refine Zhongpin Dan's relatively good Zhongpin Dan Biling Dan.

  With a decision made, Ye Tianfan didn't drag his feet and took out the necessary medicinal materials and cauldron for refining the Bi Ling Dan from the ring, making preparations to refine the pill.

  This time, since everyone was refining their own best elixirs, the participants not only refined at a much faster speed, but also reached a level of mastery that couldn't be compared to the preliminary round.

  However, this also gave the many masters on stage a headache, that is, it's very hard to tell who has a higher level, and they can only make comparisons after the Dan medicine is refined.

  Five timing cycles later, except for a few who were still refining due to having blown up their furnace once, almost everyone had finished refining.

  Eight hours later, all the people who participated in the trial had already refined their own elixirs. Dan Daozi didn't wait for the trial time to end and collected everyone's elixir.

  As soon as the dan medicine was taken onto the stage, the crowd standing below suddenly became restless, seemingly both anticipating and hesitant about the upcoming announcement of the answer.

  It's not just the people below the stage who are having a hard time, but also the several people on the stage. They all don't know who to count as first place because they found that the two people about to be defined as first and second place each have their own strengths. One person has a slightly higher purity in their elixir refinement, while the other person's refined elixir is more rounded and shiny.

  Several people debated for half a day, and finally Dan Lao said with a decisive tone: "Since it's hard to distinguish between the two winners, let's make both of them first place. As for the remaining first prize, the elixir, I'll take it as mine. Besides, I plan to accept both of you as my only disciples. What do you think?"

  As soon as Dan Lao spoke, several people suddenly had no opinion, and whether the two who got first place agreed or not was no longer within their consideration.
