"Didn't I say that Princess Heavenly Phoenix is definitely better than Zhang Bufan? Look, I was right."
"Cough!
Needless to say, in my heart, Princess Heavenly Phoenix is invincible in alchemy. "
"She is my goddess. Regardless of winning or losing, I will support her!"
"…"
The faces of the young disciples present were filled with excitement as they discussed with admiration and adoration.
Zhang Bufan, who was embarrassed at the side, also had many fans supporting him.
All of them showed a look of indifference.
"Zhang Bufan is still very young. He will definitely surpass Princess Heavenly Phoenix in the future!"
"Yeah, he was just a hair's breadth away from Princess Heavenly Phoenix. What a pity!"
"…"
Hearing these voices, Zhang Bufan finally recovered some spirit.
He looked at the others. Some of them had refined five patterns, some had refined six patterns, and a few of them had their heads lowered dejectedly.
Yes!
I'm still in second place. They're right. I'm still young and my future is limitless!
Thinking of this, Zhang Bufan's confidence had recovered to 60%.
If he could ruthlessly suppress Zhang Xing, Zhang Bufan would immediately revive with full health.
"Zhang Xing, you're in last place. Do you have anything else to say?"
Zhang Xing raised his foot and approached the pill furnace.
Just as he was about to open the lid, he thought of something and didn't use force to reach out his hand. Instead, he gently placed his hand on the lid.
"I refined eight pills. If I hand them all out, it will definitely shock everyone. It seems a little too high-profile."
"Some things can be high-profile, but some can't."
"It's better to keep a low profile. Hand over half, no, one pill will do."
"Anyway, I can advance to the top five. One pill is the same as eight pills."
Zhang Xing thought deeply. At the same time, with a thought, the seven Nine Cauldron Pills in the furnace disappeared.
The lid of the furnace lifted a little and a pill flew out and was placed into a jade bottle.
"I was lucky enough to refine one. Although it was a little slow, I still succeeded."
He shook the jade bottle and handed it to the invigilator elder.
"Zhang Xing also refined the Seven Patterns Nine Cauldron Pill."
The elder took a look and said loudly.
Zhang Bufan was instantly dumbfounded. His stomach full of words turned to waste.
He felt extremely uncomfortable.
Nominally, he was tied with Zhang Xing.
However, in terms of age, he had already lost by three points.
Gritting his teeth, he stomped his foot and left the arena in a huff.
Zhang Xing walked in another direction.
Looking at his departing figure, Princess Heavenly Phoenix didn't have any joy of victory on her face.
Instead, he felt an indescribable sense of strangeness.
Zhang Xing's performance was too calm. No, it was too strange.
Just as Zhang Xing was about to retrieve the medicinal pills, the attentive Heavenly Phoenix noticed that the corners of Zhang Xing's mouth curled up in a strange arc.
He was just taking a medicinal pill. Why did he have such an expression?
Although she couldn't guess what was wrong, her womanly intuition told her that something was wrong.
Zhang Xing was definitely more powerful than this.
All the big shots looked at Su Changhe.
He was an elder of the Medical Guild.
All the materials for this alchemy competition were sponsored by their guild.
They had seen Zhang Xing's act of concealing the seven medicinal pills.
However, the competition didn't explicitly state that those who refined ten pills would have to hand in ten pills, and those who refined three pills would have to hand in three pills.
Those participating disciples couldn't wait to hand over 11 medicinal pills at once.
Why would they think of stopping them?
However, Zhang Xing was actually bold enough to treat these nine-star big shots as if they didn't exist.
However, no one stepped forward to say anything.
The right to speak was in Su Changhe's hands.
"You are really a weirdo. I have lived for almost four hundred years, and this is the first time I have seen someone as greedy as you."
Su Changhe muttered in his heart.
