Without paying any more attention, Ling Tian started to refine the pill. He was already very familiar with Peiyuan Pill and could make it easily. He could even refine a whole furnace of top-grade pills. However, it was better to keep a low profile as long as the standards were met.

He heated the furnace and put the elixir in. Ling Tian's refining process was as per normal as usual, and in the eyes of outsiders, there was nothing outstanding about it.

After a while, Ling Tian's refining process was completed, and the fragrance of the elixir wafted away. He felt the situation inside the elixir furnace and found that there was one top-grade, three mid-grade, and the rest were all low-grade.

Ling Tian nodded in satisfaction. This was the result of his deliberate control. In his opinion, as long as he could qualify for the next round, there was no need to attract attention too early.

However, his low profile became a laughing stock among the elders and guests on the rostrum, especially Weng Jieming.

"Junior Brother Hu, your direct disciple isn't very good at what he does. He barely made it to the next round. I'm really worried about you at Beifeng, hahaha!"

Hu Tao was furious for a moment, but ignored him. He knew Ling Tian was definitely more than that, and after a quick thought he guessed his intention.

"It seems this kid wants to hide his strength and not draw attention. This kind of composure is really precious."

Hu Tao was already looking forward to Ling Tian's next performance.

Ling Tian returned to the rest area. Several of his senior sisters and brothers had already arrived earlier. Seeing them chatting in a relaxed manner, it was clear that there was no pressure in the first round.

"Junior brother, what took you so long?"

"Nothing. I was just shocked by the first person who finished, so I started a little late."

"Hey, how can they be compared with those perverts? They are inner disciples of the Alchemy League, and they are not even the strongest. Look at the ones next to the sect leader on the rostrum. They are really powerful and have reached the level of alchemy masters."

"Didn't they sign up too? Why don't they have to go on stage?"

"They are not ordinary people. They probably won't play until after the third round."

"oh!"

Ling Tian looked towards the rostrum, sparking a spark of interest in competing. He still hadn't figured out what level his alchemy skills were at, so he took this opportunity to push himself a little.

The first round was over very quickly, and nearly 60% of the hundreds of thousands of people were eliminated in one go. The elimination rate was quite high.

The second round began soon. It was the same as the first round, with fixed pills, but the difficulty was much higher with the Dragon Elephant Pill. However, three portions of herbs were prepared this round.

Ling Tian touched his chin. He knew the recipe for the Dragon Elephant Pill, but he had never refined it before, so it was a bit difficult.

After going through the recipe again, Ling Tian sat down to meditate, imitating the process of refining the Dragon Elephant Pill in his mind. His actions once again sparked heated discussion.

"Who is this person? Can meditation make elixirs?"

"Hahaha, this is our sect's new disciple, a master of five-attribute pseudo-spiritual roots. You don't understand."

The one who spoke was a disciple from Dongfeng, who was eliminated in the first round. How could he not be angry when he saw that Ling Tian, ​​who had such a rubbish talent, could be a direct disciple? However, he had forgotten what kind of occasion this was. Normally, it would be fine if they just cursed each other behind closed doors, but now all the sects and gangs, big and small, from the entire Zhao Kingdom had come here, and the elders and disciples from the six branches of the Dan League were also here. Wasn't this a rhythm of seeking death?

Without Hu Tao saying anything, Weng Jieming took action first. He was an expert at putting justice before personal gain. He knew that if he didn't take the initiative to clean up, the result would not be like this if he was caught by Hu Tao.

Ling Tian naturally didn't know about the incident that just happened. He was currently in the final stage of deduction and was isolated from what was happening in the outside world.

Halfway through the time, Ling Tian finally opened his eyes. Full of confidence, he took out the medicine cauldron and began to refine the elixir. However, although it was a simulation, there was still a certain difference from the actual situation. When the first ingredient was mixed with the medicine liquid, it was instantly burned up due to a slight control error.

Undeterred, Ling Tian recalled the entire refining process, pondered it over and over again, and finally found out the reason for the failure.

Weng Jieming on the stage seized the opportunity to sneer again, "This is truly unprecedented, and there's only one such disciple who can do this. The Dragon Elephant Pill actually backfired. Sigh..."

Hu Tao drooped his eyelids and was about to retort when he saw that Ling Tian had already finished refining. Judging from his calm appearance, there should be no problem.

"Tsk, alchemy isn't about who can make it faster. What matters most is the quality and quantity of the final pills. Senior Brother Weng must have tens of thousands of disciples sitting down. The second round is almost over. I wonder how many will be left? We don't have many people at North Peak, but we all passed the second round, haha!"

Weng Jieming was not angry. This was obviously just self-righteousness. He knew the level of the people from Beifeng. They had barely made it to the third round. They probably had no chance of entering the fourth round. Let's see how you can be stubborn later.

After verification, the Dragon Elephant Pill refined by Ling Tian just reached the standard line. He breathed a sigh of relief after passing the test successfully. After all, he was very proud to succeed for the second time when he had never refined a new pill before.

When he returned to the rest area, Murong Xue and the other three were already there. Seeing that he had passed the test successfully, they gave him their blessings and encouragement.

"Junior brother, there is still some time after the second round. Let's go to the back hall. There are fun things there, hehe!" Wang Zixuan said excitedly.

"What's fun?"

"You'll know when you go. Are you going?"

"Oh, then I'll go with Second Senior Brother. What about you, Senior Sisters?"

"We are not interested in that. Go ahead and have fun, but don't go crazy."

After a while, the two came to the rear hall and looked at a huge light curtain with densely packed names and numbers on it. Ling Tian already knew what Wang Zixuan was talking about.

"Brother, does this sect allow gambling?"

"Of course it's not allowed, but this time is different. How can the sect miss such a great opportunity? Of course, one sect can't take it all. So this time the betting is jointly organized by the three major forces. As the host, our sect will naturally have a higher share."

Ling Tianming understood that this was a scam to make money.

Wang Zixuan was very excited. After briefly explaining the rules of pressing down to Ling Tian, ​​he dived into the crowd.

Ling Tian looked at the big screen with great interest. The first place in the front row was Weng Mingyue, whose odds were as low as 1 to 0.1. It seemed that she was the biggest favorite in this competition. He knew this woman, she was the daughter of Weng Jieming, the most powerful demon woman in Danzong for thousands of years. She had extremely strong talent. After entering Danmeng, she quickly gained a foothold and made a name for herself. She was really amazing.

The odds for the second to sixth places are also extremely low. They are all core disciples from the Dan League this time. The seventh place is Liao Chenghao, the top disciple of the Dan League. Although he has squeezed into the top ten of the popular list, his odds are obviously lower than the top six. From this point of view, the gap is still not small. As for the last eight to ten places, they are all the prides of other forces.
