The result of this bet is predictable.

Ye Fan overcame many difficulties along the way, whether it was identifying medicinal materials, explaining medical principles, or combining drugs, and finally refining the elixir on the spot, Ye Fan performed perfectly throughout the whole process and was highly praised by many examiners. In the end, he naturally won the first place in this selection competition.

The examiners of Yaoxianglou congratulated Ye Fan one after another, and many of them even sincerely said that the strength Ye Fan showed was far beyond the level of their examiners. So they thought that Ye Fan should go to Yaoxianglou headquarters to participate in the Alchemist Competition, and maybe he could become a sixth-grade pharmacist!

When these words were spoken, many people were stunned.

Among these examiners, the highest level is only a fifth-grade pharmacist. But even with this level, he is enough to become a guest of honor for many city lords or large sects. As for the sixth-grade great pharmacist, what is that concept?

It was said that the highest-ranking people in the entire Yaoxiang Tower were only three seventh-grade pharmacists. There were only nine sixth-grade pharmacists in the entire Yaoxiang Tower, which was slightly lower.

It can be said that if Ye Fan can really become a sixth-grade pharmacist, he will definitely become a hot figure in the entire Southern Region!

Thinking of this, many people began to think about it.

Looking at Ye Fan's clothes, one can tell that his recent situation is not very good. If one can take this opportunity to make friends with him, perhaps one can gain a lot of benefits from Ye Fan. What's more, some even want to recruit Ye Fan as a son-in-law. If there is such a person in the family, there is no need to worry about the family's decline in the next few decades or even hundreds of years.

Under the praise and flattery of everyone, Ye Fan felt a little flattered. Although he looked calm on the surface, he was actually very happy in his heart.

Afterwards, he casually mentioned that he was being hunted down by a certain city lord, which made the examiners of Yaoxianglou furious and said that they wanted to teach that city lord a lesson. Some even suggested that they must exterminate the entire family of that city lord in order to vent their anger on Ye Fan's behalf.

Looking at this scene on the stage, Feng Shao couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

Feng Shao also learned about the selection competition held in Yaoxianglou not long ago. When Feng Shao heard it and thought about this opportunity, he immediately concluded in his heart: Isn't this the opportunity arranged by God for Ye Fan!

In order to harvest the luck, Feng Shao hurried over. But he was still a step late, and he didn't see the process of Ye Fan pretending to be awesome and getting slapped in the face, but only saw the result of pretending to be awesome and getting slapped in the face.

Feng Shao was not surprised by such a result, but he did not believe that this was Ye Fan's own level.

Do you think a man who cheats in a "fair fight" will honestly rely on his own strength in such a competition? It's easy to imagine that the one who really participated in the competition was the old man in the ring.

It’s ridiculous that Ye Fan has an arrogant attitude, as if he really won by his own ability.

Then, Ye Fan proposed a bet before the game to the young man.

In fact, the young man had a deep family background, so even if he couldn't reach the old man's level, he would have no problem passing the trials. But for some reason, he made mistakes repeatedly during the competition, so that he couldn't even get a place to advance, which made him embarrassed and puzzled. But he didn't think much about it, just thinking that he was unlucky today and didn't perform well, which led to this result.

In fact, this result was caused by Ye Fan's tricks. However, his tricks were quite covert, so no one noticed.

When Ye Fan took the jade pendant from the dusty young man, Feng Shao clearly saw that Ye Fan's luck, which had originally turned light red, had returned to the purple level.

Tsk tsk, we really can't relax for even a moment in suppressing the son of luck! In just the time it takes to eat a meal, this kid has actually recovered all the lost luck.

However, the higher you praise someone, the harder he will fall.

Just as Yaoxianglou was about to present Ye Fan with the championship prize of this competition, a voice suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute!"

Everyone looked over and saw a handsome young man smiling and saying, "I suspect there's something wrong with the result of this competition!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar.

When Ye Fan saw this man, his eyes were bloodshot and he wanted to rush forward and cut him into pieces. He gritted his teeth and said, "Feng Shao, why do you have to ruin my good thing?"

An examiner from Yaoxianglou said with an unhappy look: "Sir, Ye Fan was able to pass the assessment entirely because of his own ability. You said there is something wrong with this result. Are you accusing us of operating behind the scenes at Yaoxianglou?"

Feng Shao couldn't help but secretly gasp in his heart. Good fellow, I've never seen anyone take the blame on himself like this. Ye Fan hasn't even spoken yet, and you can't wait to come out and support him. Is this the effect of the protagonist's halo?

But Feng Shao smiled calmly and said, "Don't worry, sir. The problem with the result I mentioned is not the examiner's problem, but Ye Fan's problem in the assessment."

When Ye Fan heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he secretly thought that something was wrong.

Under the gazes of the crowd, Feng Shao calmly stepped forward and said calmly: "As far as I know, Ye Fan has never learned to make pills, nor has he learned medical skills and pharmacopoeias. How can he distinguish medicinal materials? And how can he make a third-grade pill of the highest quality?"

Ye Fan pretended to be calm and said, "How much do you know about me? I learned it by myself in private, isn't that okay?"

After these words were spoken, everyone present looked thoughtful.

There are self-taught alchemists, but they are all geniuses among geniuses. Judging from Ye Fan's performance just now, he may also be a genius among geniuses, but such people are too rare, and one may not appear in a thousand years. The sudden appearance of such a person at this time made many people instinctively suspicious.

Feng Shao smiled and said, "Of course. But considering the means you used in your 'fair fight' with me a month ago, I have reason to suspect that you did not win this match by relying on your own ability."

As he spoke, Feng Shao casually took out a herb and asked, "If you really have real talent and knowledge, then why not tell me, what is the name of this herb?"

Ye Fan showed contempt: "That's it? I thought you could come up with some difficult questions! Isn't this just..."

Having said this, Ye Fan suddenly got stuck.

Everyone was waiting for Ye Fan to answer Feng Shao's question, but unexpectedly Ye Fan suddenly stopped at this time, which puzzled many people.

Someone murmured quietly, "Isn't this just a plant of heavenly mint? Isn't this question too simple?"

Tianxiang mint is a relatively common medicinal herb. Of course, the so-called "common" here is limited to the group of alchemists. For ordinary monks, it is still difficult to identify.

It is understandable that ordinary cultivators cannot recognize it, but if it is an alchemist, as long as he has read one or two pharmacopoeias, it is impossible for him to fail to recognize it.

But Ye Fan, who was full of vigor and vitality just now, was sweating all over his forehead when he looked at Tianxiang Mint. He kept calling the old man in his heart, but the old man did not respond at all.

This was naturally the work of Feng Shao again.

Feng Shao had secretly taken out the Seven Mysterious Evil Suppression Seal and spread its aura throughout the venue. Although the Seven Mysterious Evil Suppression Seal had the effect of suppressing evil spirits, it had almost no effect on ordinary people. Even if the aura was spread, it would be impossible to detect it unless someone deliberately searched for it.

But for a remnant soul like the old man, this breath was as deadly as poison gas. He had no choice but to hide completely in the ring and cut off all contact with the outside world.

Without the old man to help him cheat, Ye Fan immediately showed his weakness.

Seeing that Ye Fan hesitated for a long time and couldn't say the name of a common herb, many people showed suspicion in their eyes.

Could this guy really be cheating?

Feng Shao smiled secretly in his heart, but pretended to sigh on his face and said: "It seems that this question is a bit difficult for Brother Ye. In this case, then I will change the question!"

As he spoke, Feng Shao took out another herb.

Many people recognized the herb immediately after seeing it. This herb is more common than the heavenly mint, and even many monks who have not studied the pharmacopoeia can recognize it. But when they looked at Ye Fan again, they saw that there was more cold sweat on his face, and in addition to anxiety, his expression also carried a little panic.

This time, even the examiner from Yaoxianglou who had just supported Ye Fan began to doubt Ye Fan's ability.

After a while, seeing that Ye Fan still couldn't tell the name of the herb, Feng Shao sighed and said, "It seems that this question is a bit difficult for Brother Ye. Forget it, let's just skip the drug identification and discuss the pharmacology."

Then, regardless of whether Ye Fan agreed or not, Feng Shao raised a pharmacological question.

This question was very simple, and almost everyone who participated in the selection competition thought of the answer at the first time. But when they looked at Ye Fan again, they saw that he was sweating profusely and couldn't even utter a word.

Feng Shao was not willing to give in and asked several questions in succession, each of which was at the entry level. However, Ye Fan could not answer any of these questions.

At this point, almost everyone had to admit that there was indeed something wrong with Ye Fan.

The examiner of Yaoxiang Tower took the lead and asked coldly: "Ye Fan, can't you answer any of these questions?"

Ye Fan's mouth twitched, and he forced an excuse: "I... I didn't sleep well yesterday, so I can't remember some things clearly. You know, I've been hunted down recently, and I haven't eaten enough and haven't slept well. In this case, it's reasonable to forget some things, right?"

Feng Shao said leisurely: "How about Brother Ye refine the pill you just refined in front of so many people again. You don't need to refine the highest quality, ordinary inferior ones will do. You don't need to refine the third grade, a first grade pill will do. With such a simple request, I'm sure Brother Ye will be able to satisfy me, right?"

Ye Fan flicked his sleeves and said unhappily: "Either don't refine it, or refine it to the best. Inferior first-grade elixir? Are you humiliating me?"

Feng Shao was immediately surprised, as if to say, "How did you know?"

Ye Fan was so angry that he almost had a fit on the spot.

Before Feng Shao could speak, an examiner from Yaoxianglou said coldly, "In that case, please refine a third-grade pill! Any quality will do!"

Ye Fan shook his head and said, "I am not feeling well today. I have already consumed a lot of my true essence in refining the pill just now. I don't have the energy to refine another one."

Feng Shao smiled and shook his head.

This guy is still talking tough. Little does he know that in this situation, no matter whether he talks tough or not, it will not help.

He could even clearly see that as more and more people doubted Ye Fan's abilities, Ye Fan's luck was rapidly changing from purple back to red, and the color was getting lighter and lighter, with a tendency to turn into orange.

Just when Ye Fan was at a loss as to what to do, someone suddenly shouted, "Beast Tide! The monsters are attacking the city!"

When Feng Shao heard this, his face suddenly turned dark.

A beast tidal wave is attacking the city at this time? Oh my god, can't you afford to play with me?
