Bufan and Dao Nvzi were incredibly skilled, they couldn't protect so many people. As long as he captured a few hostages, he would have the capital to renegotiate.Others obviously realized this as well..."You...I..."

Gongsun Hong was so shocked that he was speechless for a moment.

As a high-ranking eighth-grade Immortal Alchemist, he absolutely refused to be called a waste and would never admit defeat like this.

"Boy, what use is there in just talking about war on paper If you have the ability, refine a furnace of ninth-grade pills for me, and this old man will be convinced."

He quickly found a way to fight back. The other party's words were reasonable, and they indeed pointed out the flaws and weaknesses in his alchemy process, which he couldn't deny.

But he refused to believe it anyway, a young kid like him could be a ninth rank immortal alchemist, refining pills of a higher grade than his own.

As long as Ye Bufan cannot refine pills, then he has barely preserved the last shred of his face.

"Alchemical refinement, is it Then today I'll open your eyes and let you see what true alchemy is. Don't go around thinking you know everything just because you're stuck in your little pond."

To his surprise, Ye Bufan readily agreed and strode towards the furnace where he had just worked.

I'll use your dan furnace to refine the pills you just made, so you'll have no choice but to admit defeat. That way, we can avoid any further excuses.

Ye Bufan said, sitting cross-legged in front of the alchemy furnace. He didn't use any strange fire, and directly shot a strand of medicinal fire into it.

Gongsun Hong stood beside him, looking at the scene with some surprise. He didn't expect this young man to actually dare to refine pills.

Seeing Ye Bufan skillfully ignite the alchemy furnace, a hint of doubt arose in his heart. Could it be that this was truly a high-ranking Xian Dan Shi

Then his expression changed drastically, and the thought vanished like smoke.

Under the watchful gaze, Ye Bufan actually threw all of the second batch of pills he had just prepared into the cauldron.

Seeing this, Gongsun Hong instantly flew into a rage.

What I just said makes perfect sense, but in the end, he's nothing but a good-for-nothing waste of space.

Where is the agreed-upon order Where is the promised integration of medicinal properties Where is the complementary attributes we talked about How come all that's gone when it reaches you

Even a novice who doesn't understand alchemy wouldn't throw all these herbs into the furnace at once, would they That would be a waste!

To know that alchemy is an extremely difficult task, as a celestial alchemist's spiritual energy is limited, being able to control a single medicinal herb is already invaluable.

To throw dozens of herbs into the alchemy furnace all at once would only result in them instantly turning to ashes.

"Hey kid, do you know what you're doing"

Having wasted so many medicinal herbs at once, Gongsun Hong felt a pang of heartache. Coupled with the humiliation he had suffered earlier, he instantly exploded in anger.

"Didn't you just claim to be a master alchemist You said you knew everything, didn't you How come now you're saying nothing"

You talked about the properties of herbs that interact with each other, those that clash, and the order in which they should be taken. Now it's all gone

But Ye Bufan remained calm, not even glancing in his direction.

Those are for ordinary alchemists. I don't need them.

Do you need it

Gongsun Hong was almost so angry he fainted, “Boy, are you saying that you're not ordinary That you don't need me Who do you think you are, a Dan King or a Dan Saint”

The old man stood by, pounding his chest and stamping his feet, venting his frustration unrestrainedly.

But as he was speaking, he suddenly stopped mid-sentence, widening his eyes and staring into the dan furnace.

Normally, with Ye Bufan's way of refining herbs, everything inside would immediately turn to ashes the moment he entered, leaving not a single plant behind. However, the imagined scene did not occur.

One could see dozens of medicinal herbs inside the cauldron. Some were being refined, some were being merged, and those with impurities were being purged. Everything was orderly and systematic.

In no time, all the herbs were purified and refined, transformed into drops of pure medicine.

"This... This can't be possible"

Gongsun Hong's eyes widened in disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost. His eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets.

After refining pills for so many years, this was the first time he had seen someone refine them in this way. The key was that the other person was successful.

The kind of elixir he was going to refine was the lowest grade among the ninth-order elixirs, relatively easier to refine. Even so, it still required thirty-seven spiritual herbs.

To refine, purify, and eliminate impurities from so many flavor-infused pills means the alchemist must divide their spiritual energy into thirty-seven portions.

And this is the most basic requirement, a master alchemist also needs to possess extremely high alchemy skills, otherwise, it's impossible to proceed.

If you had told him before, he wouldn't have believed that such a person existed, but now he sees it with his own eyes.

Together refining thirty-seven doses of elixir, this technique, this spiritual power, this alchemical mastery, left him speechless in awe.

Shocked! Absolutely shocked!

He never dreamed such magical things would happen before his eyes, on a young man's body.

So, the old man stood there staring straight at the alchemy furnace, like a wooden statue, completely dumbfounded.

He didn't know how long it had been, but a strong scent of sandalwood suddenly filled the air, waking him up instantly.

It's actually at the stage of forming Dan, could it be that there really is such a magical alchemy technique in the world Could it be that the other party is truly capable of refining pills like Xuan Dan

Gongsun Hong's mood was extremely complex, a mix of shock, longing, and disbelief.

His eyes were wide open, staring intently, for fear of missing a crucial moment.

To know that his last batch of pills was a failure at the very end, one wonders if this young man before him will succeed

Although the people of Luoyang had no doubts about Ye Bufan's alchemy skills, they were also fully focused and watching with great interest.

If Gongsun Hong's alchemy was flowing like water, Ye Bufan's technique was dazzling and masterful.

It's simply art, a miracle. So fast it's hard to keep up with.

Under the gaze of everyone, Ye Bufan struck a gathering dan technique.

Then, with a wave of his hand, nine pills flew out from within and landed in the jade bottle in his grasp.

The fragrance is rich and permeates the air.

"How did you manage to succeed so quickly"

Although the alchemy was over, Gongsun Hong still had his eyes wide open and his mouth agape, unable to close it for a long time.

He himself was an eighth-rank Xian Dan master. Over so many years, he had seen countless fellow cultivators. But no matter who refined a furnace of pills, it would take at least one or two hours.

Like Ye Bufan, from the start to the finish of his dan formation, the whole process takes less than half a quarter of an hour. This speed is truly astonishing.

He pinched himself hard, the searing pain telling him it was all real and not a dream.

"Well, well, aren't you impressed"

Ye Bufan flicked his hand, and the jade bottle flew directly to him, hovering in mid-air.

Gongsun Hong swallowed nervously and reached out to take the bottle in front of him.

Upon seeing the pills inside, his whole body was struck by lightning. His heart churned like a stormy sea, overwhelmed with shock beyond description.

Normally, a Xian Dan Shi refines one furnace of pills, three would pass, six would already be very remarkable.

And in front of him was a jade bottle containing exactly nine pills, each with three golden dan patterns, clearly top-grade pills.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, he collapsed to his knees with a thud.

"Honorable sir, I was blind before and did not recognize your greatness. Please accept me as your disciple!"

(I've been writing books on drugs lately, my heart isn't getting enough blood flow, and neither is my brain. I have to see the doctor today and continue taking Chinese medicine.)

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!y enraged. In its eyes, this human was openly provoking it, "Do you really think I'm a vegetarian!"It took a step forward, shaking the ground, and then its huge mouth opened, unleashing a fiery dragon...
