"What's going on?"

"Haven't you heard? Ye Feng, the new outer disciple who joined our Ling Shui Sect, became an inner disciple in less than half a month, and was even personally recommended by Senior Sister Qiu to come to the Pill Workshop."

"Yes, yes, the most important thing is that as soon as Ye Feng arrived at the Pill Workshop, he was directly appointed as the chief alchemist by Elder Wang. Naturally, the other alchemists would be dissatisfied with this!"

"Just who is this night wind, that it's so powerful?"

Who knows?

"However, it is said that he is now at the peak of the Separation and Union Realm. It seems that he has real skills and did not get in through back channels."

"We'll find out what really happened by watching them spar. If Ye Feng loses to Chen Ruoyu, Gao Mingqi, and Zhao Zhengfeng, then it means he's nothing special."

The disciples watching all started discussing it, each with an excited expression on their face.

Night Wind naturally overheard their discussion.

However, Ye Feng didn't pay any attention.

Ye Feng looked at Chen Ruoyu, Gao Mingqi, and Zhao Zhengfeng and said calmly, "It's not impossible for you to spar with me, but are you planning to come at me all at once or one at a time?"

“If we all attacked at once, it would be seen as bullying, so naturally we will compete with you one by one!” Chen Ruoyu said emphatically.

"Alright, let's go then," Ye Feng said with a smile.

Zhao Zhengfeng, one of the original three alchemists, patted his chest and said, "Senior Brother Chen, I'll go first!"

"Then you go first," Chen Ruoyu nodded.

Zhao Zhengfeng then strode up to Ye Feng and took out a pill-refining furnace from his storage ring.

Zhao Zhengfeng's alchemy furnace looks bronze with snake patterns on the surface, and it is very large, about half a person's height!

"Do you have your own alchemy furnace? If not, you can choose one from the alchemy workshop's warehouse," Zhao Zhengfeng said provocatively.

"No need for that trouble, I have my own alchemy furnace."

Night Wind smiled and took out a pill-refining furnace from his storage ring.

Ye Feng has several alchemy furnaces, but the one he took out now is not the best among them. Ye Feng deliberately did not choose the best one in order to hide his strength and avoid being too shocking.

Zhao Zhengfeng glanced at Ye Feng's alchemy furnace and chuckled, "Your alchemy furnace isn't very good. Are you sure you want to compare it with mine? I suggest you choose one of the alchemy furnaces in our alchemy workshop's warehouse. Although those furnaces aren't top-notch either, they're at least much better than yours!"

"No need for Senior Brother Zhao to trouble himself. I'll just use my alchemy furnace. I'm already used to it, and it's very easy for me to use," Ye Feng said nonchalantly.

"Since that's the case, then there's nothing more to say. Let's start our sparring now! Let's all refine Qi-Nourishing Pills and see who refines the better one!" Zhao Zhengfeng said emphatically.

The Qi-Nourishing Pill is just a very common first-grade spiritual pill, and it is not difficult to refine.

But as the old saying goes...

The simpler something is, the harder it is to master, because there is limited room for improvement.

Zhao Zhengfeng's proposal to refine Qi-Nourishing Pills is enough to demonstrate his extraordinary expertise in this field!

However, Ye Feng showed no fear and said calmly, "Since Senior Brother Zhao wants to compete with me in refining Qi-Nourishing Pills, then let's refine Qi-Nourishing Pills together."

"Do you have all the materials?" Chen Ruoyu asked.

"Of course I have it," Zhao Zhengfeng said firmly.

Ye Feng nodded and said, "The materials needed for the Qi Nourishing Pill are not precious, and I have some in stock."

"Then I won't prepare anything for you. You can start refining Qi-Nourishing Pills now," Chen Ruoyu said, waving her hand.

The surrounding disciples were all incredibly excited.

"It's starting! It's starting!"

"We've been waiting forever, the sparring has finally begun!"

Who do you think will win?

"Is there even a question? It's definitely Senior Brother Zhao!"

"Senior Brother Zhao's research on Qi Nourishing Pills is absolutely unparalleled in our Ling Shui Sect. Even if Elder Wang came in person, he might not be as good as Senior Brother Zhao at refining Qi Nourishing Pills!"

That's exactly right!

"Night Wind is doomed to lose!"

The disciples present were all talking about it, and they all looked at Zhao Zhengfeng with admiration.

Hearing the discussions around him, Ye Feng remained unmoved.

At this very moment, Zhao Zhengfeng had already begun refining pills.

He then put one medicinal herb after another into the alchemy furnace. As the furnace lid closed, the temperature of the furnace immediately rose, and a wave of heat emanated from it.

The surrounding disciples were immediately forced to retreat by the waves of heat, but the night breeze remained unaffected.

Ye Feng wasted no time and immediately began refining pills.

As the medicinal herbs were thrown into the alchemy furnace, a raging fire rose inside, turning the dregs of the herbs into ashes, while the essence of the herbs was extracted and transformed into a liquid that emitted a faint blue light!

Night Wind cast a series of spells, controlling the temperature of the alchemy furnace and the flames inside, continuously scorching the medicinal liquid and further refining its essence!

Time passed by second by second, and before we knew it, half an hour had gone by.

Zhao Zhengfeng suddenly shouted, "Open!"

The furnace lid suddenly opened, and three sky-blue spirit pills flew out, but as soon as they left the furnace, Zhao Zhengfeng caught them in mid-air.

"My Qi-Nourishing Pill is finished. What about you, Junior Brother Ye?" Zhao Zhengfeng said with a smile.

Everyone present looked at Zhao Zhengfeng, and Chen Ruoyu and Gao Mingqi nodded repeatedly.

"Junior Brother Zhao's Qi-Nourishing Pills are round and full, with a bright luster and abundant Qi. All three are top-grade!" Gao Mingqi exclaimed.

Chen Ruoyu said with satisfaction, "Junior Brother Zhao's research on Qi-Nourishing Pills is indeed very profound; even I can't compare to him."

As soon as Chen Ruoyu finished speaking, Ye Feng's alchemy furnace was turned on.

As soon as the lid of Ye Feng's alchemy furnace was opened, six spirit pills flew out of the furnace, swirling upwards as if trying to escape from this place.

With a soft shout, Ye Feng raised his hand and made a series of moves, instantly recalling all six Qi-Nourishing Pills.

"I've also finished refining it, Senior Brother Zhao."

Ye Feng smiled and showed six Qi-Nourishing Pills to everyone present.

Upon seeing the six Qi-Nourishing Pills refined by Ye Feng, Zhao Zhengfeng's face turned solemn, while Chen Ruoyu and Gao Mingqi also showed expressions of surprise.

Judging from appearance alone, the Qi-Nourishing Pill refined by Ye Feng seems to be on par with the Qi-Nourishing Pill refined by Zhao Zhenfeng!

"This night breeze is really something!" Chen Ruoyu said.

“No wonder Elder Wang made him the chief alchemist; he truly has real skills,” Gao Mingqi couldn’t help but say.
