Zhang Bufan was also focused on refining pills more than ten meters away.
He had a strong urge to defeat Zhang Xing here.
Last time in the restaurant, he was frightened by Zhang Xing and broke out in cold sweat.
Even now, he still had lingering fears.
But how could he be willing to suffer such humiliation?
In terms of cultivation, he might not be a match for Zhang Xing, but in terms of alchemy, he was not convinced by Zhang Xing.
The Zhang family's foundation and wealth made him a level-6 alchemist at the age of 17.
Therefore, he believed that he would definitely surpass everyone in the Zhang family in the future.
Across Zhang Bufan was a woman. She was the most dazzling star today.
She was Princess Heavenly Phoenix, ranked second on the Eighteen Constellations List.
Second in combat power and first in alchemy.
She was also the idol that Zhang Bufan wanted to chase after.
Of course, it also included feelings.
The 17-year-old Zhang Bufan could not resist the charm of a 25-year-old mature woman.
Not only him, but also the other men in the Eighteen Constellations.
It was said that Princess Heavenly Phoenix liked the 40-year-old middle-aged man, Zhang Yuanfang, who was ranked first.
But the falling flowers were unrequited. Zhang Yuanfang had already established a family, so it was impossible between them.
As for whether the rumors were true or false, no one knew.
After all, the identities of these two people were not ordinary, and no one dared to spread it.
Princess Heavenly Phoenix, who was as calm as water, attracted 90% of the attention.
Her movements were gentle and graceful, as if a fairy had descended from the heavens.
Ever since she entered the arena, she had not looked at the surrounding contestants.
However, Zhang Xing's arrival made her turn and stare for a moment.
Although Zhang Bufan's talent was extremely high, she did not put him in her eyes.
Zhang Xing was different.
If she was asked to describe her impression of Zhang Xing, there was only one word, shocking!
Whether it was the array formation competition or the advancement in alchemy, Zhang Xing's crude methods were refreshing to her.
She was shocked!
He could actually break the array formation to the point where it made her feel good.
He could actually refine pills to the point where it made people cry out in satisfaction.
He was neither servile nor overbearing in front of Granny Tong and left proudly.
These scenes made her feel both fresh and curious.
How did a thirteen-year-old boy cultivate? Who was his teacher?
What an enigma!
Such a person would shine no matter where he went. Those so-called proud sons of heaven were simply unbearable to look at.
Among the 18 Lunar Mansions, perhaps only he and the number one Zhang Yuanfang could defeat Zhang Xing.
"Eh, why did I get distracted?"
Princess Heavenly Phoenix realized that she had unknowingly become absent-minded. This was something that would never happen in the past.
Even seven or eight years ago, the suave Zhang Yuanfang had never moved her heart.
The rumor that she liked Zhang Yuanfang was simply nonsense.
It was unknown who had spread the rumor, but it had actually become a hot topic among the upper echelons.
However, she just laughed it off and didn't explain anything.
Just as he was about to concentrate on refining pills, he subconsciously glanced at Zhang Xing.
He saw that Zhang Xing's expression was solemn. He appeared to be very solemn as he added medicinal ingredients into the furnace.
"Strange, why did his style change?"
Retracting his gaze, Zhang Xuan shook his head.
"What's wrong with me? Could it be that I'm afraid that he'll surpass me, so I subconsciously want to compete with him?"
Her Heavenly Phoenix Physique was not an undeserved reputation.
The Innate Heavenly Phoenix Fire was an excellent unusual fire for refining pills.
It was thousands of times stronger than those magic flames or battle aura flames.
The magic flames that Zhang Xing used could not be compared at all.
Even if he could refine a level-7 supreme-grade pill, it would only be possible with a specific pill formula.
No one had refined the Nine Cauldrons Advancement Pill before. Not to mention supreme-grade, it would be extremely lucky to be able to refine it successfully.
