Seeing Chen Tianwen's confident demeanor, Cui Shengshi, though still somewhat uneasy, refrained from saying anything.
After purchasing the immortal herbs, Envoy Cui returned to the entrance of the Pill King's Mansion to supervise the work, while Chen Tianwen began to simplify the formula for the Nine Revolutions Creation Pill.
Perhaps only Cui Shengshi has the audacity to build such a massive project in the Danwang Mansion.
Xu Tian, the city lord of Danwang City, not only did not stop it, but also, under the secret instruction of Chen Tianwen, rushed here to assist Cui Shengshi in the construction.
When Envoy Cui saw Xu Tian arrive, he didn't think much of it. There were plenty of people trying to curry favor with him, so Envoy Cui simply assumed Xu Tian was one of them. He certainly didn't suspect that Xu Tian had secretly benefited from Chen Tianwen's influence.
Chen Tianwen summoned Xu Tian because he was afraid someone might interfere. Although with Envoy Cui here, no one would dare to do such a thing, Chen Tianwen felt more at ease with the presence of another powerful Immortal Lord.
After all, King Qi Dan has been famous for so many years, and who knows how many powerful immortals are secretly supporting him?
Time flew by, and soon the appointed time arrived.
The crowd had completely blocked the entrance to the Danwang Mansion.
Qi Danwang had already made all the arrangements and stepped onto the arena, followed by a large group of eight hundred alchemists.
The crowd was both shocked and took it for granted that King Qidan would put on such a grand display.
It is quite normal for alchemists to have others assist them in refining immortal herbs when they are refining elixirs, especially when refining fifth-grade immortal pills. It is also normal for eight hundred people to work together.
However, what shocked everyone was that all of these eight hundred alchemists were high-level alchemists, including some well-known fourth-grade alchemists.
It is no exaggeration to say that any one of these fourth-grade alchemists could attract countless admirers, but right now, they are merely helping King Qi refine immortal herbs!
Compared to King Qi Dan's grand display, Chen Tianwen's side seemed rather lackluster.
Chen Tianwen walked ahead alone, followed by Cui Shengshi's four disciples. These four disciples were only helping Chen Tianwen carry the immortal herbs. After placing the immortal herbs on the arena, the four disciples left and followed Cui Shengshi.
The arena was enormous, but Qi Danwang alone had already taken up more than half of it, making Chen Tianwen, who was all alone, look rather weak!
"What does Mr. Chen mean by this? Does Mr. Chen intend to refine a fifth-grade immortal pill all by himself?"
The crowd watching from below the stage, seeing the stark contrast in strength on the stage, couldn't help but raise questions.
Some people said, less certain:
"It seems that Mr. Chen has been refining immortal pills all by himself these past few times, and at an incredibly fast speed. But now the competition is for fifth-grade immortal pills. I wonder if Mr. Chen is confident in his ability to do so?"
“I think it’s a bit hard to say. The Nine Revolutions Creation Pill, a fifth-grade pill, is considered a top-tier pill among fifth-grade immortal pills. I estimate that the number of immortal herbs needed to refine the pill is probably over thirty or forty thousand. Mr. Chen alone would need quite a bit of time to refine all of these immortal herbs.”
As soon as this person finished speaking, it resonated with many, and others chimed in:
"Mr. Chen's strength is only at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. How can his speed of refining immortal herbs compare with that of Qi Danwang, who is already a powerful Immortal Lord? Moreover, Qi Danwang has eight hundred immortal alchemists assisting him. Just this alone gives Qi Danwang a significant advantage!"
"Indeed, with these eight hundred alchemists refining the immortal herbs, King Qi Dan can concentrate on controlling the heat and refining the immortal pills. In this respect, Mr. Chen is still at a disadvantage."
"Based on your analysis, are you all quite optimistic that King Qi Dan will win?"
A young man spoke up, sounding somewhat anxious.
This young man was obsessed with alchemy. Ever since Chen Tianwen appeared, he had always regarded Chen Tianwen as his idol, after all, Chen Tianwen was able to achieve so much at such a young age.
But now, hearing so many people not having a good impression of Chen Tianwen, the young man began to feel nervous.
Although the young people knew that these people's analyses made a lot of sense, they still hoped that Chen Tianwen could create a miracle.
Ignoring the murmurs of the onlookers below, Cui Shengshi and City Lord Xu Tian, who were watching the battle from the high platform, frowned upon seeing the vast disparity in strength between the two on the arena.
"Envoy Cui, you may begin!"
King Qi Dan was furious when he saw that Chen Tianwen had come to fight alone.
This kid is so arrogant!
Therefore, King Qi Dan wanted to start as soon as possible, because once the start was announced, Chen Tianwen would not be allowed to find help!
Envoy Cui frowned, not in a hurry to announce the start, but instead looked at Chen Tianwen with a questioning look in his eyes.
However, Chen Tianwen didn't seem to care about the difference in strength on the arena. Seeing Envoy Cui looking at him, Chen Tianwen nodded nonchalantly and said:
“Envoy Choi, I am ready. We can begin at any time!”
Seeing Chen Tianwen's words, Envoy Cui, though still uneasy, had no reason to delay and reluctantly announced:
"This Holy Envoy hereby declares that the alchemy competition between King Qi Dan and Mr. Chen shall now begin. The alchemy competition shall end at this time four days from now!"
Following the announcement by Cui Shengshi, King Qidan's side began a flurry of activity.
King Qi Dan took out his alchemy cauldron and focused intently on controlling the heat. Under King Qi Dan's control, various immortal herbs entered the cauldron.
Meanwhile, the eight hundred alchemists under King Qi Dan took out their own celestial cauldrons and began refining the celestial herbs according to King Qi Dan's instructions.
Eight hundred alchemy masters attacked together, instantly filling the arena with unparalleled fire laws.
The simultaneous firing of eight hundred celestial cauldrons caused a series of exclamations from the onlookers.
On the other hand, Chen Tianwen didn't even take out his alchemy cauldron, nor did he rush to select immortal herbs. Instead, he stared intently at the eight hundred alchemy masters on Qi Danwang's side.
Cui Shengshi, who had been paying close attention to the changes on the stage, was extremely anxious when he saw Chen Tianwen like this, but he couldn't bring himself to urge him. He could only keep winking at Chen Tianwen, reminding him to start quickly!
However, Chen Tianwen was completely absorbed in the alchemy techniques of the eight hundred alchemy masters and did not notice Cui Shengshi's hint at all!
