Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan were also overjoyed, their cheeks flushed with excitement.

After all, Night Breeze's performance was truly outstanding!

"The night wind is so strong! It's too strong!"

"I knew Night Wind wouldn't let us down, and it seems my judgment was absolutely right!"

Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan said excitedly, almost jumping for joy.

But with half an hour left, Ye Feng didn't stop there; he began refining the next batch of elixirs.

Time was ticking away, and the one-hour deadline was fast approaching.

The alchemists in the arena were racing against each other, all making the most of the last bit of time to refine their final batch of elixirs!

Ling Tianxing started the furnace again, and produced eleven Foundation Establishment and Body Tempering Pills in one batch.

The female alchemist from Danxia Cave also started her furnace and refined twenty-two Foundation Establishment and Body Tempering Pills.

Master Aoki, standing on the high platform, said, "Alright, time's up..."

Before Master Qingmu could finish speaking, the alchemy furnace in front of Ye Feng suddenly shook, and the lid was flung open.

Hundreds of streams of light erupted from the alchemy furnace at once, resembling a fountain composed entirely of light!

"One hundred and eight! A full one hundred and eight!"

"My God! Elder Lin is truly a divine being!"

"I can't believe my eyes!"

"Elder Lin is simply too strong! Is this what an elder of the Divine Wood Sect is like? He's ridiculously strong!"

The female alchemist from Danxia Cave, Ling Tianxing, the sect leader of Lingyun Sect, and the other alchemists present all cast shocked glances at Ye Feng.

But Ye Feng's expression was so calm, as if he had only done a trivial thing.

"Time's up! The first round of alchemy is over!"

"As for the results of each alchemist, I think everyone here has seen them, so I won't comment on them one by one. Those who are ranked in the bottom twenty may leave the room."

"Aoki Masato said with a smile on his face from the high platform."

In the first round of alchemy, Ye Feng was undoubtedly the best.

Ye Feng first devised a plan on how to modify the alchemy furnace, and then began to reforge it, which took him three-quarters of an hour.

In the last quarter of an hour, Ye Feng finally began refining pills, and he only managed to refine two batches of spirit pills in total.

The other alchemists, such as the female alchemist from Danxia Cave, refined a total of four batches, Ling Tianxing refined three batches, and the other alchemists present also refined three or four batches.

However, after Ye Feng modified the alchemy furnace, the output was truly astonishing.

Ye Feng's first batch of spirit pills contained ninety-nine pills, and the second batch contained an absurd one hundred and eight pills!

The two batches of elixirs together totaled a total of two hundred and seven elixirs!

Which alchemist present refined more Foundation Establishment and Body Tempering Pills than him?

Don't even mention surpassing the night wind; they can only look up to it from afar!

The female alchemist from Danxia Cave who ranked second only produced a little over seventy spirit pills in four batches, less than a hundred!

Ling Tianxing only has a little over fifty in total!

Night Wind and them were on completely different levels, incomparable, with a world of difference between them!

Suddenly, an alchemist shouted, "I'm not having it! This isn't fair!"

Master Qingmu looked at the alchemist and asked with a smile, "Where is it unfair?"

"We all use these rubbish alchemy furnaces, but Elder Lin of your Divine Wood Sect uses a refined alchemy furnace. Where is the fairness?" the alchemist said indignantly.

Master Qingmu chuckled and said, "The alchemy furnace we prepared for Elder Lin is the same ordinary one as yours. But Elder Lin is skilled in crafting, so he reforged the furnace himself. What can we do? If you're not satisfied, you can also reforge the furnace yourself."

"Moreover, this is our rule. We prohibit alchemists participating in this alchemy competition from using their own alchemy furnaces and medicinal herbs, but we do not prohibit them from modifying the alchemy furnaces we provide. Therefore, Elder Lin's actions are completely correct."

The alchemist was so angry that his face turned ashen and he trembled all over.

"Losing is not shameful, but being unable to accept defeat is extremely shameful. Please have some self-respect," Master Aoki said again.

Finally, Master Aoki added, "And if I remember correctly, you were ranked twenty-seventh. Even without Elder Lin, you would still be eliminated."

The alchemist took a deep breath before finally leaving the scene.

"Elder Lin, you have truly surprised me." Ling Tianxing wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile.

"It's just a very basic principle: 'A skilled craftsman must first sharpen his tools.' Sect Master Ling, you simply didn't think of that beforehand. If you had reforged your alchemy furnace like I have, and then used the reforged furnace to refine elixirs, then even if you couldn't match me, you certainly wouldn't be too far behind," Ye Feng said with a smile.

“How could I possibly finish refining the alchemy furnace as quickly as Elder Lin? Even if I wanted to refinish it, it would definitely take me several hours, and there simply wouldn’t be enough time,” Ling Tianxing said.

"Yes, Elder Lin, you are not only highly skilled in alchemy, but also adept at weapon crafting. You are also a martial artist in the Transcendent Realm. You are truly well-rounded with no weaknesses. To be honest, I really can't understand how you cultivated to this level, Elder Lin." The female alchemist from Danxia Cave also chimed in, casting an admiring glance at Ye Feng.

Ye Feng remembered that the female alchemist in Danxia Cave was named Sun Changling or Sun Shaoling, but his memory was a bit hazy.

Lin Bifeng didn't have a deep impression of this female alchemist to begin with, and the memories Ye Feng obtained from Lin Bifeng through the Soul Searching Technique were naturally even more vague. It was perfectly normal that he didn't remember what the female alchemist's name was.

"May I ask your name?" Ye Feng asked with a smile, cupping his hands in greeting.

The female alchemist from Danxia Cave wasn't angry. Instead, she smiled and said, "Elder Lin, you really have a bad memory. We met decades ago... My name is Sun Shaoling, the Grand Elder of Danxia Cave."

"Oh, it's Elder Sun. My apologies for not recognizing you sooner," Ye Feng said immediately.

Sun Shaoling continued, "Elder Lin, you were able to reforge the alchemy furnace in just a quarter of an hour. Not everyone has that skill. Among all the people here, I guess only you can do it."

"Haha, Elder Sun, you really overestimate me," Ye Feng laughed.

"This isn't an overestimation of you; it's just the truth, isn't it?"

Ye Feng, Ling Tianxing, and Sun Shaoling chatted and laughed, while the second round of alchemy was about to begin.

Seeing that the alchemists below had rested enough, Master Qingmu on the high platform said, "In the first round of alchemy, we refined low-grade pills like Foundation Establishment and Body Tempering Pills, competing on the efficiency of alchemy. In the second round, we will compete on the quality of alchemy."
