However, Elder Li Tianfeng was clearly a shrewd person and did not want to pursue the matter too much, so he said, "Xinghe, it's best not to make things up without evidence."

The Second Elder also said, "Yes, since Feng Ye has not been affected and is still refining pills, let's just let this matter go."

Zhao Rusong chimed in, "No matter what, there are so many people watching here. Making Huilong swear an oath by his inner demons here is not a wise choice."

Li Huilong finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the three elders were speaking up for him.

A look of helplessness appeared on Chen Xinghe's face.

He knew that the First Elder, Second Elder, and Third Elder wouldn't pursue the matter, since they had to maintain the sect's reputation no matter what.

If this matter is exposed now, the Sun Sect will definitely lose face.

Therefore, for the sake of the overall situation, the First Elder and the Second Elder would naturally protect Li Huilong.

But the Third Elder was different.

Chen Xinghe knew very well that the Third Elder and the Fourth Elder were on Li Huilong's side, so it was perfectly normal for the Third Elder, Zhao Rusong, to speak up for Li Huilong.

Chen Xinghe didn't say anything more.

However, at that moment, a fourth explosion rang out.

Zhao Hai, who was to the left of Ye Feng, suddenly shouted "Oh no!" and retreated sharply. The alchemy furnace in front of him immediately exploded, and flames swept outwards.

The explosion was so loud that it attracted the attention of many people.

But the night wind remained unharmed.

This explosion was nothing to Ye Feng.

On the contrary, the surrounding alchemists were also affected, and one after another, they failed in their alchemy attempts.

Li Huilong's scheme did not affect Ye Feng, but it caused great suffering to the alchemists around Ye Feng.

But this had nothing to do with the night wind, and he completely ignored it.

An hour passed, and the Grade 8 Spirit Pill, the Spirit-Returning Longevity Pill, was finally successfully refined.

"Well done," Ye Feng said with a smile.

Hong Lunhai's divine thought transmission resounded in Ye Feng's mind: "Thank you for protecting me, Mr. Ye."

Fifteen minutes later, Li Xiuzhen finally succeeded.

However, because Ye Feng did not show it, in everyone's eyes, the first person to successfully refine it in this third competition was still Li Xiuzhen of the Minghui Sect.

After Li Xiuzhen successfully refined the elixir, she immediately looked at Ye Feng, but Ye Feng pretended to still be refining the elixir and didn't even glance at her.

"Has he finished refining it, or hasn't he finished yet?"

Li Xiuzhen glanced at Ye Feng and muttered to herself.

Li Xiuzhen's success was like a signal; more and more people were successfully refining elixirs, but Ye Feng still hadn't started his furnace.

With only a quarter of an hour left until the final deadline, Ye Feng still hadn't gotten up.

The first two times, Ye Feng turned on the furnace at this time, which had already caught Li Xiuzhen's attention.

So now, Night Breeze plans to delay a little longer.

Li Xiuzhen was also pondering this question at that moment.

“I reminded him yesterday that if he was hiding his strength, he definitely wouldn’t start the furnace at this time today, but would postpone it for a while…”

Li Xiuzhen muttered to herself and looked towards the night wind.

Seeing that Ye Feng indeed did not clear the way and was still calmly refining the elixir, Li Xiuzhen's face immediately showed an expression of "I knew it!"

"He really was hiding his strength," Li Xiuzhen said.

With only a quarter of an hour left until the final deadline, the night wind finally cleared the way.

The Grade 8 Spirit Pill, the Spirit-Returning Longevity Pill, spun out of the alchemy furnace and landed in Ye Feng's palm.

"Master Feng, you succeeded?" Zhao Ruyan asked in surprise.

"Yes, it was a success." Night Breeze nodded with a smile.

Zhao Ruyan was genuinely surprised and excited. Ye Feng was surrounded by four alchemists who were targeting him, using the failed alchemy attempt to destroy the furnace and create chaos.

However, the night wind remained unaffected throughout, and the attempt did not fail.

This was completely unexpected!

At this moment, the image of Ye Feng in Zhao Ruyan's mind had been infinitely elevated, shining with brilliance.

But Ye Feng's expression remained calm, and his heart was undisturbed.

"Time's up! Everyone, stop refining pills!"

The First Elder, Li Tianfeng, stood up and released his true energy to disrupt the entire scene.

In this third round, even more people were eliminated.

Of the dozens of alchemists who passed yesterday, only 24 passed today; the rest failed!

Ye Feng and Zhao Ruyan left the scene and headed towards the place they had agreed to meet with the female disciples of the Minghui Sect.

Upon arriving here, Ye Feng saw the group of female disciples from the Minghui Sect, several of whom had red eyes and were crying.

It's obvious without even thinking that those female alchemists have failed.

"I passed."

Night Breeze said with a chuckle.

"We saw it without you saying it!" the leading female disciple said angrily.

Wang Lin also ran over and said, "According to yesterday's bet, it's best two out of three. Brother Feng has already won two rounds, so you should fulfill your agreement now!"

According to yesterday's bet, these fairies should kneel down and kowtow to apologize!

But none of them knelt down.

"No, we must have another match!" the leading female alchemist of the Minghui Sect said emphatically.

"Another competition? Tomorrow's topic will probably be ninth-grade spirit pills. How many of you have the ability to refine ninth-grade spirit pills?"

Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, the female disciples of the Minghui Sect were all speechless.

Although there are three qualified people besides Li Xiuzhen in this group, they all managed to refine an eighth-grade spirit pill in today's competition.

However, only Li Xiuzhen was at the Transcendent Realm, a ninth-grade alchemist!

None of the others had the ability to refine a ninth-grade elixir!

Therefore, in tomorrow's competition, only Li Xiuzhen has a chance of succeeding, while everyone else will fail!

Suddenly, Li Xiuzhen, the chief disciple of the Minghui Sect, spoke up.

“Mr. Feng, I’ll bet on their behalf.”

Night Breeze seemed to have anticipated that Li Xiuzhen would step forward, so he asked with a smile, "You want to bet with me? How do you want to bet?"

Li Xiuzhen said, "Let's void all the previous bets. Tomorrow, I'll settle the score with you in one match. And in my opinion, tomorrow's competition will probably be the last one, and it will determine the top ten."

"Then we'll see who ranks higher! If you surpass me, you win; if I rank higher, I win."

Wang Lin's heart was in his throat.

After all, Li Xiuzhen's alchemy skills are undeniable!

But Ye Feng said nonchalantly, "So what's the stake?"

Li Xiuzhen gave Ye Feng a deep look and said, "If you win, my fellow disciples and I will all marry you as your wives or concubines! If you lose, then you will have to be our slaves!"

When Li Xiuzhen said this, everyone present was stunned.

Including Wang Lin!

Including Zhao Ruyan!

Including those Sun Sect disciples who were responsible for serving the alchemists!

Only the night breeze was unsurprised.

Inside Biyou Palace, Hong Lunhai said with a smile, "This Li Xiuzhen is really shrewd; she's too good at scheming."
