ded up being taken hostage. In the end, it was Ye Bufan who saved him, saving him from utter humiliation."Ye Bufan, don't get cocky." He turned back and pointed at the three people behind him. "Last t...Over time, Ye Bufan was at the bottom of the fourth rank alone, while the fifth rank was already empty, and even the worst-performing ones were in the sixth rank.

The first echelon was fiercely competing, with no one looking back at all.

Ten Crowned King Chu Jiuyu, relying on his profound foundation, always remained in the first position, but only by a little bit, the gap wasn't large.

Mu Ji and Hua Qizi followed closely, and behind them were the core alchemists cultivated by the five major sects.

Mu's expression was gloomy, but he remained calm and collected. Every move he made revealed a profound depth of strength.

This is no wonder, the previous Xuanji Emperor was skilled in alchemy. Although his strength hasn't fully recovered now, his alchemy skills are still extremely formidable.

Hua Qiqi advanced to the twelfth rank of Immortal Pill Master in a short time. She received guidance from Ye Bufan and during this period, she was also guided by Zhuge Qingyang, thoroughly solidifying her cultivation and improving her skills, her strength is not inferior to others at all.

By contrast, the Five Sects' five disciples, Wu Xi, Chao Kuan, Gan Feng and others, are somewhat inferior.

These people, relying on their formidable strength, made steady progress, constantly climbing upwards.

Ye Bufan had just refined a furnace of fourth-rank pills, and they had already stepped into the eleventh order.

But at this time, the mental attacks are getting stronger and stronger. Even if they are cultivators at the level of Immortal Emperors, they have to devote a lot of energy to deal with them.

Once interfered with, the effect of alchemy will be greatly affected.

Even though Chu Jiuyu's alchemical skill was formidable, he couldn't achieve a full furnace of pills at the tenth stage. He only managed to form eight pills, seven of them being high-grade and one being mid-grade.

Mu Ji and Hua Qiqi were the same, with their divided attention they managed to refine eight pills, one of which was a mid-grade pill.

"Presumptuous youth!"

Chu Jiuyu glanced at the two people following closely behind. He wasn't nervous or angry, but instead burst into laughter.

"Throughout my life, I've dedicated myself to the pursuit of alchemy. I've won the title of Alchemy King ten times in a row, facing no worthy opponents. However, it has all become rather dull."

Today, let us have a good match. I hope you can knock this old man off his throne as the King of Dan!

Amidst bursts of laughter, he stepped onto the eleventh floor of Dan Wang Tower. After the two people behind him caught up, the three began to refine their pills simultaneously.

As soon as they started, Wu Xuzi and the others caught up from behind.

A while later, Xie Hongying, Yin Tong, and Xia Qingying also stepped onto the eleventh level.

In contrast, Xie Hongying was doing better. She appeared calm and collected, with little change in her expression.

Meanwhile, Yin Tong and Xia Qingying both showed signs of fatigue, their faces pale and beads of sweat forming on their foreheads.

Along the way, I have been constantly refining pills, which has consumed a great deal of energy. Moreover, I have to withstand the mental attacks of the Dan Wang Tower at all times, so naturally, it takes a considerable price.

By this point, everyone's alchemy progress had slowed down.

Chu Jiuyu spent almost an hour completing the immortal pill in his hands, but the quality had declined somewhat. There were seven pills formed, five of high grade and two of medium grade.

Wood followed closely, also seven stars of Chengdan, five top grade, two mid grade.

In contrast, Hua Qiq's foundation was a bit weaker. Although she also refined seven pills, only four were high-grade, while the remaining three were mid-grade.

Behind them, there were six red cherries, four of the highest grade and two of medium grade.

Six pills of the In-Passage Realm were forged, with only one being of the superior grade and the remaining five all being of the middle grade.

while Xia Qingying only achieved five dan pills, three of intermediate quality, two of low quality, and none of high quality.

Most importantly, after the pill was successfully refined, he was out of breath and his face was pale, clearly exhausted from the process.

Yin Tong turned his head and glanced at her, a smirk playing on his lips: "Xia Qingying, are you going to compete anymore I think you should just give up."

"I want you to take care of it!"

Xia Qingying snorted coldly, then stubbornly followed the crowd up the twelve steps.

But in the end, she was simply too weak. Her cultivation hadn't reached the Immortal Emperor realm, and going up there meant she wouldn't be able to withstand the strengthened divine sense attacks.

For mere breaths, the Xianlingcao tossed into the furnace exploded into ashes, and the whole person was swept out of the Twelfth-Tier Danwang Pagoda.

In fact, her behavior was just too strong-willed. She lacked the strength and cultivation in alchemy. She insisted on taking on the twelve consecutive Dan Kings just to save face, but the final result was already destined.

Seeing this, the neighboring Yin Tong burst into a smug laugh and then began to refine his own pills.

He was a twelfth-rank Immortal Alchemist, but after all, his time advancing wasn't long, his foundation wasn't deep enough. Plus, here he had to constantly withstand spiritual attacks, so the effect of alchemy suffered greatly in comparison.

Though lucky enough to make it to the end, he only managed to refine a lopsided pill, barely qualifying as inferior grade.

Even so, it would have made him overjoyed. First, he successfully climbed the twelve-level Danwang Tower, and second, he defeated Baodanmen.

Thinking of Xia Qingying becoming his woman and getting five billion high-grade immortal crystals made him elated, laughing out loud. Afterward, he was sent out of the Dan King Tower.

The light curtain at the top of the tower shimmered once more. Yin Tong was the first to refine a twelfth-order pill, temporarily taking the lead position.

While Chu Jiuyu, Mu Ji, Hua Qiqi and others were cautious, they slowed down their alchemy pace, fearing any slight error.

Even a twelfth-order Immortal Alchemist would need to focus their full attention when refining the corresponding elixir. Moreover, this is the Dan King Tower, where each person has only one chance. Any slight mistake will result in being eliminated.

All eyes were on the few figures at the top of the tower, anticipation and excitement shining in their gazes as they waited for the final outcome.

Before that, Chu Jiuyu had dominated the Dan Wang Grand Competition for ten consecutive times. His overwhelming strength left no suspense, making it a rather less engaging spectacle for spectators.

But today is different. So far, Mu Ji and he have not shown much difference in performance, and the level of pills they have refined are also exactly the same.

But the other party was still participating in the Dan Wang competition for the first time, and was only marked as a tenth-order Immortal Alchemist. In this way, the suspense was instantly filled to the brim.

No one knows where this unassuming-looking man comes from, but his strength is undeniable.

Perhaps out of a desire to compete, Mu Ji chose the same elixir as Chu Jiu Yu, a twelfth-order immortal pill called the Emperor's Dao Pill.

About an hour later, the aroma of incense wafted out from Chu Jiu Yu's side first.

Then he struck out the Retaining Dan Jue, reaching out with a grab, and six pills flew out of the pill furnace in one go.

Six pills, three high-grade and three medium-grade.

If this were a normal situation, refining such a level of pill wouldn't be particularly impressive.

But now it's different, this is challenging the Twelve-Tiered Dan King Tower, refining such a level of pill in the final stage is already rare and valuable.

"The King of Dan is mighty!"

When Chu Jiuyu's name appeared at the top of the big screen, cheers erupted from the audience.

Before the cheers of excitement could even die down, Mu Ji also struck out with his Dan Gathering Technique. Six pills flew out, four of which were high-grade and two mid-grade.

Then the light curtain shifted, and Chu Jiuyu's name was listed in second place. The first place belonged to Mu Ji.

After a thousand years, the throne of the Divine King has finally changed hands!un Sect was now outnumbered and outmatched here, no match for the royal family at all. The only option was to leave this place first.The remaining three disciples did not dare to hesitate either, and...
