Pa!

The bowl in his hand was thrown to the ground. At the same time, Ye Chen glanced at the hourglass and smiled confidently.

“There are ten minutes left. Time to start refining!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Chen slammed his palm on the cauldron in front of him and spun it.

“Rise!”

The cauldron left the ground and spun five to six times in the air.

Seeing this scene, everyone was even more dumbfounded.

What was that kid doing?

Why did so many things happen when he was refining pills?

Was he putting on a show?

Ye Chen ignored everyone’s confused gazes. The moment the cauldron was about to fall to the ground, his fingers formed a seal and his speed increased.

At the same time, golden runes condensed in front of him, which gradually grew larger and larger. They manifested below the cauldron, and then rose up, bringing the cauldron with them.

After doing all this, Ye Chen took a step forward and the Immortal Flames shot out and enveloped the cauldron.

A few seconds later, the cauldron was burning red, and Ye Chen took another step forward, and the spiritual herbs flew out. They were encased in a stream of energy as they all entered the cauldron.

After doing all this, Ye Chen placed his hands behind his back and closed his eyes as if he was waiting for something.

Whether it was Hong Tao or the crowd below, they were completely dumbfounded. What kind of alchemy technique was this?

It looked like he was indeed refining pills, but it was different from the way most of the alchemists in the Kunlun Mountains refined pills!

Could this kid really refine pills?

However, no one noticed Senior Feng’s expression on the stage. At this moment, Senior Feng’s eyes had almost popped out of their sockets, and his face was filled with shock!

He stared at Ye Chen, his body trembling. Stormy waves stirred and crashed within his heart.

“That is an ancient profound alchemy technique! A lost alchemy technique! How is this possible? How did this kid master such a technique?”

He shouted in shock. He had completely lost his composure!

As an expert from the Core Tower, he treated everything with indifference. However, at this moment, he really could not help himself.

This was a technique that countless alchemists in the Kunlun Mountains desired. They thought that it had long disappeared from the world, but now it had appeared right before his very eyes!

His breathing quickened. If Ye Chen had not been in the midst of refining pills for a competition, he would have rushed over immediately.

Ancient profound alchemy technique?

Hong Tao’s gaze was somewhat surprised. He had heard rumors of such techniques. However, the technique was lost forever, was it not? How did this kid suddenly master it?

Could it be that Senior Feng was mistaken?

Ding!

Hong Tao withdrew his gaze and looked at the cauldron in front of him.

Light flickered, and a rich medicinal fragrance overflowed out of it.

The pill was formed!

Hong Tao slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, his eyes showing some excitement. This time, he had done unusually well. The Essence Condensing Six-Soul Pill in the cauldron had a total of eight souls!

Surely this was enough to crush everything!

Initially, he had lost his composure because of Ye Chen’s technique, but now, he was certain that he would win this round!

Eight souls! His greatest accomplishment!

Not long after, another voice was heard. Duan Huai An had also finished refining. He had expended a great deal of energy in order to refine this pill, and had nearly collapsed.

As such, he was in a state of exhaustion.

However, there was a trace of relief on his pale face. No matter what, the pill lying in the cauldron in front of him was already the best he could refine at his current level.

After all, it was his first time refining this altered pill formula.

If it was Hong Tao’s first time too, the difference should not be too great.

He glanced at Hong Tao, and then turned his gaze to the masked young man.

The masked young man still had his eyes closed, and the corners of his clothes fluttered slightly in the breeze.

Unfortunately, the cauldron showed no signs of forming a pill, and it seemed as if he had failed.

The hourglass was already reaching its end.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Hong Tao could not help but say, “Kid, you’re almost out of time. Why isn’t there any movement from your cauldron? Could it be that your pretentious act just now was to refine a fake pill?”

“The outcome has been decided. No matter how you struggle, it will be the same!”

Faced with Hong Tao’s mockery, Ye Chen remained as still as a mountain, as if he was asleep.

“Kid, are you deaf?”

Hong Tao continued but before he could finish, Ye Chen suddenly opened his eyes.

“Open!”

Bang!

Seconds later, the cauldron in front of him flew open, and an explosion erupted, kicking up smoke and dust!

Endless waves of energy swept out.

The Immortal Flames soared into the sky like a fire dragon roaming the sky.

This scene shocked everyone, and they speculated that the explosion had destroyed the pill and the masked young man had failed.

Hong Tao revealed a sinister smile.

He had thought that this kid would make the competition a little more difficult, but now it seemed that he had nothing to worry about.

Perhaps that explosion even killed that kid. Suicde? How laughable!

He looked at Senior Feng, who had a complicated look in his eyes, and cupped his hands.

“Senior Feng, I think we can verify the results now!”

Hearing this, Senior Feng came back to his senses and sighed.

He had thought that the masked young man was proficient in ancient alchemy, but it seemed that the kid was merely dabbling in ancient alchemy and did not know what he was doing.

Otherwise, it was impossible for such an explosion to occur when ancient alchemy techniques were used to refine the Essence Condensing Six-Soul Pill.

Smoke and dust billowed, but nothing and no one could be seen. Perhaps not even ashes were left.

He shook his head, feeling a little regretful. Then, he walked towards Duan Huai An.

“Open the cauldron and let me see your Essence Condensing Six-Soul Pill.”

Duan Huai An nodded and opened the cauldron. Seven rays of light flashed! Finally, all of them gathered on the Essence Condensing Six-Soul Pill.

Senior Feng narrowed his eyes and said in surprise, “With your alchemy skills, you actually managed to condense seven souls!”

Then, he noticed the aura and injuries Duan Huai An had and came to a realization.

“You used much of your blood essence and damaged your cultivation base in order to achieve this.”

After that, he stopped commenting and headed towards Hong Tao.

“If he failed to condense seven souls, you win.”

When Duan Huai An heard this, he was a little nervous, so he followed Senior Feng.

Before long, the two of them arrived in front of Hong Tao’s cauldron.

Hong Tao glanced at the nervous Duan Huai An and sneered, “Do you think you can win by condensing seven souls? Sorry to disappoint you. I said that you will be my sacrifice, so nothing will change that outcome!”

After he finished talking, Hong Tao opened the cauldron, and eight rays of light shot out and surged towards the pill in the center!

“Hiss! Eight souls! It had two more souls than the Essence Condensing

Six-Soul Pill!”

“Hong Tao, with your current condition, you are qualified to be invited by the Core Tower!”

Senior Feng was shocked.

At this moment, Duan Huai An realized the gap between the two of them.

Although he was one soul short, it proved that he had lost completely..
