At this moment, countless gazes were focused on the pile of fragments on the square.

Alchemy Master Hong’s cauldron had shattered!

The king of alchemy in the Land of Slaughter had failed?

This sudden turn of events made the crowd go deathly silent, and many of them held their breaths, waiting to see what would happen next.

They raised their heads slightly and looked at Hong Tao, only to find that the latter was as still as a statue.

His face was ashen, and gradually turned black!

His body even began to tremble!

He clenched his fists tightly, and the veins on his arms kept popping out. The arrogance he had was now replaced by pure rage!

He had failed!

He had actually failed with such a simple thing!

He glared angrily at Ye Chen. The culprit behind everything was this masked young man!

Had it not been for the young man’s flames, his flame would not have suddenly reacted that way.

When he saw the flames surrounding Ye Chen’s cauldron, his eyes narrowed. “Those flames actually carry a trace of divine power. They are simply perfect for alchemy! How could such a flame exist in this world, and why is it in the hands of a mere transcendent realm brat?”

At this moment, the malevolence on Hong Tao’s face suddenly turned into fanaticism. If he obtained these flames, his alchemy grade would be able to advance even further!

He had to get those flames at all costs!

Duan Huai An naturally noticed Hong Tao’s failure, and his eyes were filled with joy.

When he looked at Ye Chen who was controlling the flames, his heart was filled with gratitude. The miracle he had been hoping for actually happened!

No matter what, Hong Tao had already lost this round!

The Medical God sect could still be saved!

Ding!

All of a sudden, a crisp sound rang out. Duan Huai An was dazed for a few seconds before his gaze suddenly shot towards the masked young man!

The young man’s pill was actually completed!

Although Duan Huai An had not paid much attention to the masked young man, he knew that the latter was the last to start refining pills!

After smoking a whole cigarette!

Only a few dozen seconds had passed, yet that incomplete pill had actually been completed?

When did pill refinement become so fast?

How could there be such a monster in the Land of Slaughter?

Could he be a genius from the Kunlun Mountains’ Alchemy Alliance?

Countless questions flooded Duan Huai An’s heart.

His initial assumption that this young man resembled Ye Chen was completely dispelled.

Although Ye Chen had some talent in alchemy, there was a huge gap between him and this masked young man.

The difference was too great.

When Hong Tao saw that the pill was completed, his expression became incomparably embarrassed.

Even if his cauldron was not destroyed, he would have lost to this kid!

This kid was not smoking because he had given up, but because he was confident that he could crush him!

Such disdain!

This kid was humiliating him!

At this moment, Ye Chen slowly retracted the flames.

He laughed coldly in his heart. Competing with him in flame control? For the past two days, he had been refining 49 cauldrons and controlling 49 flames at the same time. This match was simply child’s play to him!

How could Hong Tao win?

Ye Chen raised his head and looked at Hong Tao with interest. He said lightly, “Lu Tao, how about it? Do you admit defeat? If you’re not convinced, you can try again!”

“Brat! I’ll say it again. My name is Hong Tao!”

Hong Tao was thoroughly enraged!

Who could tolerate being called the wrong name endlessly?

Had it not been for the audience, and the need to maintain his image, he would have attacked long ago!

Of course, if he wanted to kill this kid, he could do so easily, but his pride demanded that he beat this kid openly so that he could take away the latter’s flames.

He had only lost one match!

In the next two matches, he would not make such a low-level mistake again. Even if this kid had those heaven-defying flames, it would not change the outcome!

Flames could only assist in refining pills, but refining pills truly required experience. Decades or centuries of experience, as well as the appropriate pill formulas!

He calmed down and glanced at Duan Huai An. The other party’s pill had also succeeded.

This round, he was placed last.

Hong Tao glanced at Ye Chen.

“I, Hong Tao, am an open and aboveboard person. You have won this round. However, you had better understand that I deliberately let you win this round. If I hadn’t been careless, do you think you could have won?

“The next two matches cannot be won by just relying on flames!

Hong Tao did not waste any time either. With a wave of his hand, the three pill cauldrons all disappeared, which were soon replaced by three new cauldrons, as well as hundreds of medicinal herbs.

“The second round is the pill battle. There is only one rule for this round. You have one hour to refine one Essence Condensing Six-Soul Pill! The one with the highest grade pill wins!”

Duan Huai An, do you have any objections?”

“No.” Duan Huai An shook his head.

Hong Tao looked at Ye Chen again.

He had thought that Ye Chen would not have any objections, but he did not expect Ye Chen to take a step forward.

“Of course I have an objection. What if the grade of the medicinal pill is the same? The rules cannot be treated casually. This is your territory. What if you cheat?”

Hong Tao stroked his beard and sneered, “I already knew that someone would raise an objection. I, Hong Tao, am an open and aboveboard person, so I naturally wouldn’t tamper with such matters!”

“Senior Feng, please come on stage!”

As soon as Hong Tao finished speaking, an old man dressed in a purple-gold robe slowly went up the stage. This old man’s aura was ethereal.

More importantly, he had a jade pendant on his waist, on which were engraved the words…

Kunlun Mountains’ Core Tower!

The crowd instantly exploded into an uproar!

“The Core Tower! This person actually came from the Kunlun Mountains’ Core Tower!”

“That is the place that every alchemist yearns for!”

“Anyone who comes out of that place possesses enough authority and status to become an elder in a large sect!”

“Only Alchemy Master Hong can invite such a top-notch expert!’

“It looks like Alchemy Master Hong has strong connections. As expected!” The crowd discussed animatedly, and their eyes filled with respect. From this, it could be seen how important Elder Feng’s identity was! Hong Tao’s gaze fell on Ye Chen and he sneered. “With Senior Feng from the Core Tower adjudicating, everything will be fair.”

Ye Chen glanced at Senior Feng, whose eyes seemed to be closed. His eyes were filled with confusion.

“What kind of place is the Core Tower?”
