At the very least, one can exchange experiences with other alchemists here, which is also a rare opportunity.
After all, it's not common for so many alchemists to gather together on a normal day.
"Proceed with the verification now!"
As soon as Li Tianfeng finished speaking, a disciple from the inner sect appeared and inspected the Soul Cleansing Pills refined by the various alchemists.
After inspection, a total of 143 alchemists produced Soul Cleansing Pills that met the standards, while eight alchemists produced Soul Cleansing Pills that lacked sufficient medicinal energy.
There were even two alchemists who hadn't refined the Soul Cleansing Pill at all; they were using inferior pills to try and pass off the real thing as the real one!
As a result, all ten alchemists lost their eligibility to continue participating in alchemy.
"Today's competition is over. The 143 masters who have passed the test, please continue to conserve your energy and participate in the second competition here tomorrow!" Li Tianfeng said on the stage.
Night Breeze put away the Star Furnace and left with Zhao Ruyan.
"Your sect really knows how to play the game," Ye Feng laughed.
"What do you mean?" Zhao Ruyan asked, puzzled.
"All the Soul Cleansing Pills we refined have been taken away, and I expect it will be the same tomorrow and the day after. In that case, all these alchemists are essentially working for your Sun Sect," Ye Feng said meaningfully.
Zhao Ruyan's cheeks immediately turned bright red.
She quickly said, "Master Feng, don't think like that. If you can make it into the top ten, there will be very generous rewards."
"What reward?" Night Wind asked.
"I don't know yet, the elders haven't announced it, but as long as you do know, you definitely won't be treated unfairly. Our Sun Sect is one of the six top sects, and we would never do such a thing," Zhao Ruyan said earnestly.
Night Breeze just smiled and didn't say anything more.
Perhaps the Sun Sect will eventually offer priceless rare and precious materials to reward the top ten alchemists.
But how many of the top ten alchemists are there?
There were only ten people in total.
What about the alchemists who didn't make it into the top ten?
They got nothing and worked for the Sun Sect for several days for nothing.
Of course, Ye Feng wouldn't argue with Zhao Ruyan about these things, since Zhao Ruyan was just an outer disciple in the Qi Movement Realm and there was nothing she could do.
Chen Xinghe walked over and bowed to Ye Feng, saying, "Congratulations, Brother Feng, on advancing to the next round."
"It was just luck," Ye Feng said calmly.
Then Chen Xinghe transmitted his thoughts: "Brother Feng, tomorrow's topic is a seventh-grade spiritual pill - the Wind-Moving Cloud Pill. Prepare in advance so you won't be caught off guard."
Thank you for letting me know.
Chen Xinghe exchanged a few polite words and then turned to leave.
Zhao Ruyan was unaware that Chen Xinghe had just leaked tomorrow's questions to Ye Feng through telepathic communication. This mere Qi Movement Realm martial artist hadn't even noticed that Ye Feng and Chen Xinghe had exchanged telepathic messages.
Just as Ye Feng was about to return to the room with Zhao Ruyan, a chubby young man suddenly strode over.
Upon reaching Ye Feng, the man bowed respectfully and said with great enthusiasm, "May I ask how this gentleman is addressed?"
"Feng Ye," Ye Feng said calmly.
"Feng Ye? You're the one who fought Li Huilong in Sunwheel City and even made him run away with his tail between his legs?" The young man was taken aback.
"Am I that famous?" Ye Feng chuckled to himself.
The young man looked at Ye Feng with admiration and said, "Of course, many people know about this now, and we alchemists who came to participate in the alchemy conference have also heard about it."
Suddenly realizing he hadn't introduced himself, the young man continued, "My name is Wang Lin, and I'm a seventh-grade alchemist. Unfortunately, I was too nervous just now and failed in my alchemy attempt, so I'm no longer qualified to participate in alchemy. I wonder if I could have a chat with Master Feng?"
After Wang Lin finished speaking, he looked at Ye Feng nervously, afraid that Ye Feng would refuse.
Night Breeze laughed and said, "Of course, there's nothing that can't be done."
"That's great, let's go over there and talk." Wang Lin pointed to a big tree not far away.
Ye Feng then followed Wang Lin, and Zhao Ruyan and the female disciple who was responsible for serving Wang Lin also came along.
Ye Feng and Wang Lin sat down directly on the ground and began to discuss their alchemy experiences.
At first, the two talked as equals.
But the further they went, the more questions Wang Lin asked, and Ye Feng patiently answered them one by one.
In the end, Wang Lin even stood up and bowed to Ye Fengxing as his disciple.
Of course, Wang Lin did not formally become Ye Feng's disciple; rather, he gained immense benefits from Ye Feng's teachings, and thus expressed his gratitude and respect to Ye Feng in this way.
"Master Feng, you are truly my teacher!" Wang Lin said solemnly.
Ye Feng helped Wang Lin up and said with a smile, "Brother Wang, there's no need for that."
Suddenly, a discordant voice rang out.
"Isn't this Wang Lin! Wang Lin, why haven't you left yet?"
"You're no longer qualified to participate in the subsequent alchemy, so what are you still doing here?"
"It looks exactly like a mangy dog!"
"Hmph, if I were you, I would have crawled into a hole in the ground and disappeared!"
The voices of the women, one after another, enraged Wang Lin, yet he dared not retaliate.
As the night breeze cleared, a group of female alchemists strode towards them, led by Li Xiuzhen, the female alchemist from the Minghui School.
Behind them followed a group of male disciples from the Sun Sect, but they clearly dared not get too close and only dared to watch from a distance.
"What's going on?" Ye Feng asked.
Wang Lin said with a face full of shame, "To be honest, I am an inner disciple of the Minghui Sect, and these are my senior and junior sisters. Senior Sister Li is my eldest senior sister. Our Minghui Sect... sigh, let's not talk about it."
"Just say it when I tell you to, why are you stammering?" Ye Feng frowned.
Wang Lin was quite helpless and could only say, "Our Minghui Sect is a bit special. Both our cultivation techniques and alchemy skills are more suitable for female disciples, so there aren't many male disciples in the sect. Especially in alchemy, male disciples simply can't compare with female disciples. As a result, over time, all the female disciples in our Minghui Sect have become arrogant and look down on us male disciples."
I see!
Night Breeze couldn't help but laugh.
At this moment, Ye Feng couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Wang Lin.
Wang Lin may not be particularly skilled in alchemy, but he is honest, kind, and has a good character. Moreover, he is humble, low-key, and polite, which makes Ye Feng quite fond of him.
Then Ye Feng looked at the female disciples of the Minghui Sect and said indifferently, "Is this how you behave? In front of an outsider like me, how can you humiliate your fellow disciples like this? Do you have any sense of collective honor?"
