People gathered around them several times without them noticing, and the atmosphere between Yingxun and Zishu became increasingly tense.

Yingxun's whereabouts are mysterious, but his reputation is formidable. In contrast, although Zishu is Jingli's disciple, he is only a nominal one and spends most of his time on Mount Ling, so he is probably not favored.

"It seems that the Pill King Palace and the Medicine King Valley have come to blows."

"It should have been like this a long time ago. Although the two forces have been on the surface for many years, they have been constantly fighting. Two tigers cannot share one mountain, so this is inevitable."

"The Pill King Palace has now produced a Divine Master. He is bound to soar to great heights and become unstoppable."

"Hmph, Ye Xiruo is still a nobody now? By the time she grows into a Divine Master, it will be many years later. The higher the level of an alchemist, the harder it is to advance."

"Senior brother is right. It's hard to say whether he can grow to that level." There are many geniuses in this world, but there are also quite a few geniuses who die young. If Ye Xiruo were to die young, with Yingxun's talent from Medicine King Valley, he might really be able to contend with the Pill King Palace.

Who do you think will win?

"You'll see when you see it."

"Ying Xun is the Medicine King's closed-door disciple, so he should be much stronger than this nominal disciple of the Pill King Hall!"

"That's hard to say. What if they're hiding their true abilities?" You know, many experts have a bad habit called being low-key.

"This has blown up." Ye Xiruo followed behind Si Hao, feeling immense pressure as she was subjected to the various gazes of so many people.

"Is this Shadow Seeker very powerful?"

Si Hao's usually cold face showed a hint of seriousness; "I can't see through his cultivation level, but his aura is very strong."

"Senior brother, aren't you level seven?" Level seven is already very impressive, okay?

"I suspect he's reached level eight." Si Hao's expression was also very unpleasant. As a core disciple of the Pill King Hall, he had actually been left far behind.

"Don't be discouraged. This guy is much older than you. He'll catch up sooner or later."

Si Hao: Is this considered a consolation?

"Medicine King, your disciple is quite extraordinary!" Jing Li said, holding a cup of spiritual tea, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

It seems we've truly entered a golden age of cultivation. The Ice Spirit Clan's nobility, divine master bloodlines, along with the "Five Heroes of the Divine Sect," Zishu, and Yingxun—truly a land of geniuses.

"No, they can't compare to the little guys from the Pill King Palace."

"How about we make a bet?" Jing Li looked at the Medicine King.

"Alright, what does Fellow Daoist Mirror want to bet on?"

"A single portion of the Ten-Thousand-Year Spiritual Essence."

"One portion of the Immortal Bamboo".

Those around them were also taken aback. As expected of the Medicine King and the Palace Master, such a display was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

"Do you want to come along?" Jing Li raised an eyebrow.

"Your Excellency is too kind. None of us are alchemists, so our eyesight is naturally limited. We won't join in the fun." said an elder from the Taiyan Divine Sect.

The others nodded in agreement, agreeing that the elder was right.

They're all a bunch of old foxes.

"Since the younger generation wants to have a competition, shall we go and watch?"

Jing Li and Yao Huang stood up at the same time, and the people around them consciously made way for them.

"Since we're going to have a competition, let's see how we compete in alchemy."

“I have no objection.” Yingxun nodded.

"Coincidentally, I've just acquired a formula for the Ice Heart Pill. Are you interested?" Jing Li squinted, making her expression unreadable.

The Medicine King shook his head. The Ice Heart Pill was a mid-grade eighth-rank pill, extremely difficult to refine. Jing Li's decision to bring it out was clearly a test. However, the outcome was uncertain. Without much hesitation, the Medicine King agreed.
