Duan Huai An snapped out of his daze. He had never expected Hong Tao to have such a big shot by his side.

This kind of big shot had a special identity and would not usually resort to deception. Otherwise, it would be a disgrace to the Core Tower.

Seeing Ye Chen’s confusion, he explained, “Young man, the Core Tower is the holy land of alchemy in the Kunlun Mountains. It has a total of ten levels. Every year, the Core Tower will invite fifty top alchemy geniuses to enter the Core Tower.”

“Currently, most of the core elders and alliance leaders of the Alchemy Alliance have a great relationship with the Core Tower. Also, the jade pendant on Senior Feng’s waist shows that he has once reached the third level of the Core Tower. This is enough to prove his talent and strength in Alchemy Dao, which qualifies him to be the judge today.”

Only then did Ye Chen understand.

“Mas… Senior Duan, what will happen if one reaches the tenth level?”

Hearing this question, Duan Huai An was stunned, and his expression turned strange. Hong Tao, on the other hand, laughed out loud.

“Brat, do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand? From ancient times until now, apart from a few ancient mighty figures, no one has been able to reach the ninth level and above!”

“The only one recorded is that Lin Qingxuan of Qingxuan Peak once stepped into the ninth level! However, Lin Qingxuan is long gone, and his trashy descendants and the trashy Medical God sect are not worthy of his legacy!” As he spoke, Hong Tao didn’t forget to mock Duan Huai An.

Duan Huai An snorted coldly.

“You can insult me, but you can’t insult the Medical God sect!”

Hong Tao was about to say something when Senior Feng, who had been silent all this while, spoke up, “Instead of spouting nonsense, why don’t you start refining pills! My time is precious and I don’t want to waste it on your bickering.”

An old voice rang out with a hint of faint arrogance and disdain.

Since he came from the Core Tower, he naturally had enough authority to speak on the Dao of Alchemy!

In his eyes, these people fighting over pills were no different from children playing house.

Hong Tao was obviously afraid of Senior Feng as he nodded repeatedly, “Yes, Senior Feng! Oh right, since Senior Feng has graced us with his presence, I’ll let Senior Feng decide on the pill formula for the Essence Condensing Six-Soul Pill. I reckon that Senior Feng’s understanding of the Essence Condensing Six- Soul Pill is far superior to that of us ordinary people.”

Senior Feng nodded and formed a hand seal with his fingers. Flames suddenly condensed!

“Go!”

His arm shook slightly, and the flames instantly floated in the air, forming lines of words. It was the pill formula for the Essence Condensing Six-Soul Pill! Essence Condensing Six-Soul Pill, a sixth-grade medicinal pill. In the Kunlun Mountains, it could be considered a high-grade medicinal pill.

Furthermore, because the refining method was extremely complicated, the success rate was low. Only by condensing six souls could the pill be formed!

Thus, very few alchemists would attempt it.

When Duan Huai An saw the pill formula, his expression changed slightly. He hurriedly cupped his hands and said, “Senior Feng, why do I feel that this pill formula is somewhat different from the Essence Condensing Six-Soul pill formula I know?”

“How dare you question Senior Feng!” Hong Tao’s face turned cold.

Duan Huai An shook his head.

“I’m not doubting him. It’s just that the Medical God sect’s alchemy manual also has records of the Essence Condensing Six-Soul Pill. I feel that there’s a huge discrepancy, and it’s even a little complicated.”

Senior Feng nodded.

” You’re right, but that’s the traditional Essence Condensing Six-Soul Pill. A few days ago, I made some changes to the pill formula. Condensing six souls can still form a pill, but after I made some improvements, I can condense three more souls. This can also be considered my test for you.”

“If any of you can condense six souls, I’m willing to give you an opportunity.”

Hearing this, everyone below the stage gasped. An opportunity in the Core Tower far surpassed the value of the competition!

Clearly, Senior Feng had added fuel to the fire.

Duan Huai An was slightly taken aback. Although he was puzzled, he still nodded and said, “Since that’s the case, thank you, Senior Feng.”

Hong Tao also bowed and said respectfully, “Senior Feng, you’ve gone the extra mile.”

Only Ye Chen did not show any reaction. It was as if he was unbothered by the whole situation.

“Young man, why aren’t you thanking Senior Feng?” Hong Tao asked coldly.

“Why should I?” Ye Chen sneered, “Changing this pill formula instead made the Essence Condensing Six-Soul Pill lose its original effect. What was the point of this modification? It is simply ridiculous!”

The moment he said that, there was absolute silence, and the atmosphere froze.

No one would have thought that there would be someone who would dare to stand up and question an expert from the Core Tower.

Everyone present was completely taken aback. It was one thing for the masked young man to insult Hong Tao, but now he insulted Senior Feng!

Did this kid want to die so badly?

Hong Tao took a step forward, his killing intent erupting.

“Men, capture this reckless brat!”

“Yes, Sir!”

In an instant, countless experts swarmed toward Ye Chen, ready to take him down.

Initially, Hong Tao did not know how to snatch Ye Chen’s flames, but this had given him a wonderful opportunity.

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes, showing no fear.

If Hong Tao made a move in advance, he did not mind letting the Black Tiger King and his forces loose right here and now. It would also give him an opportunity to save his master amidst the chaos.

Just as the hidden experts were about to surround Ye Chen, Senior Feng extended his hand and waved it gently. “This kid is right. Hong Tao, there’s no need to do this.”

“The reason why I modified the Essence Condensing Six-Soul Pill was because I considered that the traditional method of refining this pill could not test the level of an alchemist.”

“In a competition, the value of the pill itself is rather unimportant.”

“However, it can be considered that I’m lacking in talent and knowledge. A true top-notch alchemist would probably modify the Essence Condensing Six-Soul Pill to make its effects even stronger.”

After saying that, Senior Feng gave Ye Chen a deep look!

To be able to detect the problem with the pill formula from a glance, this kid was definitely not ordinary. Furthermore, he was so young!

This brat was probably not even thirty years old, right? Why did he have such a thorough understanding of medicinal pills?

Hearing Senior Feng admit his mistake, Hong Tao and everyone else’s expressions changed drastically. The masked kid had guessed correctly?

Where did this kid come from?

The terrifying flames and the words he had just said made Ye Chen appear very mysterious, and many of them started to try and guess Ye Chen’s identity. Why did this kid have to wear a mask?

Why did he not dare to show his true face to the public?

Hong Tao finally came back to his senses. With a gentle wave of his arm, the experts surrounding Ye Chen dispersed and returned to their original positions.

Following that, Hong Tao said, “This is a competition, the medicinal effects of the pills aren’t important. It’s almost time, so let’s start! After an hour, everything will be clear!”

Senior Feng looked at Ye Chen and said, “Little brother, if you still have any objections, you can refine it according to the original pill formula.”

Ye Chen shook his head.

“Since the question has been set, there’s no need to change it. I have no further objections.”
