It was supposed to be a mini-game, but it became a mini-game that everyone participated in. Even Li Wushuang and Jiang Lu couldn't resist, let alone others.

A sudden realization!

That was a sudden enlightenment!

Even for immortals, enlightenment is something that is always welcome and never too much.

Seeing over ten thousand people suddenly step forward, Ye Feng remained completely calm. He subtly wiped the sweat from his palms; he hadn't expected these people to be so shameless.

In his mind, this kind of thing should only be attended by the disciples, but he didn't expect it to alarm a group of hall masters, elders and even the sect leader.

The main reason is that his epiphany may have come too easily, and he lacked understanding of other people's desire for epiphany.

"Alright, since everyone is so enthusiastic, let's get ready to begin. Everyone stand apart and use the Fire Control Technique, then keep the temperature at 110 degrees for two hours."

Everyone obediently made room for the people next to them, as the back mountain was very large and could accommodate tens of thousands more people.

"Fire Control Technique, activate."

"3.2.1, Suppression!"

At Ye Feng's command, more than 10,000 people simultaneously activated the Fire Control Technique, and countless flames shot into the sky, illuminating the back mountain as bright as day.

Especially the flames of Li Wushuang, Jiang Lu, and the fairy from the Myriad Flowers Sect's Immortal Realm, which soared thousands of feet into the sky, making them appear like war gods emerging from the raging flames.

Then the flames of the Peony Fairy, Huanfeng, Blood Demon Ancestor, and the four siblings Yunxiao were also over a hundred feet high.

The flames shot into the sky and then suddenly disappeared, leaving only a small flame in each person's palm.

The blue flames flickered erratically, seemingly ready to go out at any moment, yet somehow they could not be extinguished.

Everyone's face still looked relaxed.

Ye Feng smiled slightly and began to ignite the flames under his stew pot, while calculating in his mind how many of the more than 10,000 people would survive to the end.

After all, my budget is only for a few dozen people. If there are too many, I will have to redo the Spirit Ascension version and upgrade it to the Twenty-Four Solar Terms, which is very tiring!

Time passed second by second, and even those who didn't want to give up had no choice but to accept reality.

The first bald man to step forward rubbed his bald head and said irritably, "Sigh... I thought it would be pretty easy, but I didn't expect to be the first to be eliminated. But in this way, I am both the first to raise my hand and the first to be eliminated. I have two first places, which is quite impressive."

"Pfft..." The bald man's shameless words, coming from his fierce-looking mouth, instantly made several people around him burst into laughter.

This laugh had a ripple effect, causing them to lose their composure as well, and the small flames suddenly leaped up high again.

The group reluctantly stopped their spells and glared fiercely at the bald man.

As more and more people are eliminated, the characteristics of these sects become more apparent.

The majority of the first batch of eliminated disciples came from the Blood Demon Sect. This was because their sect focused on physical cultivation rather than magic techniques, and their control over magic techniques was indeed much weaker compared to other sects.

These disciples of the Myriad Flowers Sect had the shortest time on the mountain, but none of them were eliminated in the first batch.

Firstly, their cultivation level is not high, and secondly, the Wanhua Sect has some knowledge of micro-control abilities.

However, very few people can last for an hour and a half.

Apart from some disciples whose control abilities far exceeded their cultivation levels, Peony Fairy, Jiang Lu, Li Wushuang, Cloud Fairy, and Ice Phoenix Demoness were still persisting, but their expressions were far from pleasant, and they had long lost their former composure.

Peony Fairy estimated the time and felt that she would most likely pass the test if she could hold on until the end, just hoping that nothing unexpected would happen.

Jiang Luli Wushuang was confident that he could persevere to the end. Although he was already struggling, he was sure he could make it to the end... I'm so excited!

The group of people immediately stared wide-eyed at Ye Feng.

Ye Feng was innocently lifting the lid of the pot of stewed oxtail soup.

Ye Feng lifted the lid and started adding seasonings to the stew pot. After stirring it, he scooped up a little soup and tasted it. The slurping sound made everyone's Adam's apples bob involuntarily.

Jiang Lu hurriedly took a breath and mobilized all his strength to maintain the Fire Control Technique. Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, his eyes widened suddenly.

Ye Feng opened the jade slip and poured all the side dishes that the Sword Sect disciples had chopped into the stew pot. The 'plop' 'plop' sound of the ingredients falling into the water once again stirred the sensitive and fragile nerves of the group.

That's not all.

As the ingredients were added, a rich, intoxicating aroma wafted into their noses, causing them to squint their eyes involuntarily.

Even after eating several bowls of rice, these people felt their stomachs rumbling in protest.

How can a person be so shameless?!

If you dare say you didn't do it on purpose, even a dog wouldn't believe you!

Jiang Lu and the others immediately started cursing in their hearts, and all sorts of nasty words could only linger in their minds as 'beep beep beep'.

Ye Feng chuckled and put the lid back on the pot, and the aroma stopped wafting out.

After this little incident, the rhythm of Jiang Lu, Peony Fairy, Li Wushuang and the others was completely disrupted, and the small flame in their hands inevitably underwent some changes.

Reluctantly stopping, the group glared at Ye Feng resentfully before huffing and puffing as they returned to their seats.

With the fall of several of them, only about twenty disciples remained in the arena, more than half of whom were young girls from the Myriad Flowers Sect.

These people didn't use any fancy techniques to eliminate others, partly because there were so many people watching, making it impossible to do so secretly, and partly because they simply didn't have the extra energy to do so.

If complete control isn't enough, who would dare to be distracted and do anything else?

These twenty or so people were now soaked to the bone, and thankfully they were all dressed in decent clothes, otherwise they would all have been exposed.

Time ticked by, and finally, two hours had passed in the midst of everyone's anticipation.

Ye Feng stood up and said with a smile, "Alright, there are 21 winners in this mini-game. Small rewards will be distributed to everyone after the banquet."

Ye Feng's words naturally drew cheers from the twenty-one people, but the large amount of energy they had expended left them only able to gasp for breath and completely unable to reply.
