96: Chapter 97 The Alchemy Conference (Part 2)

Chen Fan naturally observed the changes in the expressions of these two people, and with a faint smile, he failed to refine the third furnace of Medicinal Pill as well.

"Damn it, no need to return to the Qin Family, we will make our move on the road." Qin Shan's facial muscles twitched slightly, and a flash of killing intent crossed his eyes.

Meanwhile, Yan Xue, not far away, had already achieved Foundation Establishment and had little interest in refining low-level Medicinal Pill. Following her husband's suggestion, she deliberately failed the refinement.

In the future, she intended to establish a powerful Foundation Establishment Family with her husband, so she would endure for now and saw no need to get angry.

As the bell rang, the day's Alchemy Conference finally came to an end.

"Alchemist Chen, I originally thought you could take the top spot and obtain the foundation establishment pill, but I didn't expect you to have only this much ability. We will return to the Qin Family first thing tomorrow morning."

Qin Shan sneered and mocked him, having long since lost his previous courtesy, filled with monstrous hostility.

"Tomorrow? There is still the foundation establishment pill Alchemy Conference tomorrow, and the Purple Mansion competition the day after. If the two of you are in such a hurry, you are welcome to return early."

Chen Fan gave a faint smile and directly refused.

"You..."

Qin Shan was filled with rage, but being in the Sect, he dared not vent it and could only swallow it down.

"Two clan brothers, if there is nothing else, I will go for a walk."

After saying that, he took Yan Xue and headed towards other peaks.

"Good, it seems you, this Matrilocal son-in-law, have really grown wings. I'll make you pay later." Qin Shan snorted coldly.

The Miaoyin Sect had been the sky of the Song State for hundreds of years. After a long period of development, the mountains were beautiful, filled with strange peaks and exotic rocks everywhere.

Looking towards the core area of the Sect, one could see rays of light appearing from time to time, which was a sign of a Cultivator achieving a Breakthrough.

Looking further into the core area, besides the thick fog, there were massive Restrictions that completely blocked all kinds of probing.

The two walked around the vicinity for a while before returning directly to their Immortal Cave.

Seeing the grand atmosphere of the Sect, Chen Fan's determination grew even stronger; in the future, when he established a cultivation Family, it must have such an appearance.

In the middle of the night, Zhao Qin came again.

"With your current disguise, you will definitely be seen through by powerful experts. Here is a mask for you; not only can it conceal your aura, but it can also change your appearance. Even a Purple Mansion expert would find it difficult to see through."

"I have already arranged a new identity for you, so you can just head over when the time comes. The results of the competition will be rewarded according to the ranking, and if your strength is outstanding, you can go to the back mountain of the Sect for meditation."

"Go to the back mountain?" Chen Fan pondered slightly, his expression somewhat grave. When it came to refining Medicinal Pill, he surely had no rivals within the same Realm.

However, excessively displaying his strength and attracting attention was not the best strategy.

"As long as the Sect provides me with an Opportunity to improve my Realm, that is enough. Entering the back mountain would instead attract the attention of various powerful experts; I'd better skip it."

"Good, you know when to advance and when to retreat; that is not bad."

Zhao Qin nodded slightly, very satisfied.

However, when she was about to leave, she took an extra look at him.

She suddenly discovered that his appearance and temperament were even more outstanding than before.

The next day, Chen Fan slowly put on the mask. Just as the other party had said, both his appearance and aura underwent huge changes; he could be said to be a completely different person.

Early in the morning, he hurried to the Alchemy Hall.

By this time, a large number of Foundation Establishment Cultivators had already arrived at the square, and a large number of Qi Refining Cultivators who had not left were gathering around the square.

They were simply unwilling to let go of any Opportunity that could improve their Alchemy.

Near the Alchemy Hall, several Cultivators presiding over the Alchemy Conference had already arrived, seemingly waiting for someone, occasionally looking at the empty main seat.

Chen Fan spotted Bi Wenqin not far away at a glance.

Perhaps because of her outstanding appearance and her fame as a female Alchemist, several Cultivators had already approached her to strike up a conversation.

Bi Wenqin's expression was gentle. While chatting with the crowd, she secretly kept an eye on her surroundings, wanting to find someone familiar.

However, after looking around, she did not see Chen Fan arrive, and she could not help but show a look of disappointment.

Just at this moment, a long rainbow descended from the sky. A thick aura rushed towards them, and the powerful spiritual power fluctuations made almost everyone unable to stand steadily.

The person who arrived was middle-aged, tall, and had a dignified expression.

"Purple Mansion Cultivator?"

The crowd exclaimed, their expressions became extremely quiet, and they all showed respectful looks.

"Greetings, Senior."

The sound of mountains collapsing and seas roaring echoed across the square.

"Revered Master, the Foundation Establishment Cultivators who have arrived are all here now."

Zhao Qin said cautiously with a respectful expression.

The middle-aged Cultivator nodded slightly, looked around, and said indifferently: "Since the time has arrived, let us begin!"

"Fellow Daoists, this Alchemy Conference consists of refining three furnaces of Medicinal Pill, selecting the top six outstanding ones. Besides receiving the reward of the Purple Void Empowerment, the top three can also go to the back mountain for meditation."

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, the crowd showed expressions of excitement.

The Purple Void Empowerment was something unique to the Miaoyin Sect, which could be called a supreme treasure, capable of significantly improving the cultivation of low-level Cultivators.

As a crisp bell rang, the competition officially began.

Zhao Qin waved her long sleeves and threw a Jade Slip straight into the air.

She struck it with a burst of magic power, and a flash of light appeared on it, revealing a blue light screen.

It clearly wrote out the Pill Formula for refining three types of Medicinal Pill: True Spirit Pill, Gathering Yang Pill, and Returning Spirit Pill.

"These three types of Medicinal Pill are all for Foundation Establishment Cultivators to consume. You may choose one of them to refine, and the time is limited to five hours."

After seeing this, the crowd's expressions changed slightly.

Although the other party said so, these Medicinal Pill all belonged to niche high-level Medicinal Pill, and were not easy to refine.

After looking at it carefully, Chen Fan also showed a curious expression.

He had not refined this type of Medicinal Pill in his daily life. Although he had multiple ancient Pill Formula and refining experiences in his mind, it was not that easy to combine them.

Time passed bit by bit. There were constant noises on the hall square, smoke curled, and everyone began to refine one after another.

But Chen Fan had no intention of starting, instead continuing to ponder carefully.

As more than half of the time passed, a faint fragrance came from most of the Cultivators' Pill Furnace.

Zhao Qin glanced slightly at Chen Fan, quite disappointed.

It was not until most of the Cultivators were preparing to open their furnaces that Chen Fan slowly opened his eyes and began to refine.

"This person is quite interesting, but there is only one hour left." The middle-aged Purple Mansion Cultivator smiled faintly.

One hour was simply not enough for an ordinary Cultivator, but for Chen Fan, it was enough.

He summoned three Pill Furnace in one breath and began to refine them simultaneously with magic.

The strange Alchemy techniques mixed with the current Dao of manipulation, making people feel dazzled.

After a smooth and flowing operation, a faint fragrance soon wafted from the Pill Furnace.

This scene surprised everyone present.

With a "clang" sound, Chen Fan slowly opened the Pill Furnace.

"Revered Master, all the Cultivators have finished their refinement now, and it can be inspected."

"Good."

The middle-aged Cultivator released a powerful Divine Sense, and after a slight sweep, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
