"Feng Chen!"

The moment her soul returned to her body, she immediately looked towards Ye Chenfeng, wondering if he had succeeded in the last moment.

If he failed at the very last moment, then he would lose the right to enter the preliminaries.

When all of the apothecaries in the Ancient Medicine Mountain came out, their souls were injured, and Mu Qinghuo, who had a dejected expression, slowly walked over.

"Elder, we know what happened to you. Yuyan had already destroyed the souls of three of her Holy Son's followers at the Ancient Medicine Mountain. As for the Holy Son, I can promise that I'll make him regret his actions!" Ye Zichen looked at the regretful Mu Qinghuo and softly promised.

"Feng Chen, Yu Yan, I'm not in a hurry to avenge this grudge. Fight well, and the glory of the Heaven Viewing Pavilion will be left to you." Mu Qinghuo took a deep breath and instructed solemnly.

"Rest assured Pavilion Elder, Yuyan and I will definitely raise the Star rank of Heaven Viewing Pavilion to above Grade Eight!" Ye Zichen nodded and made a promise in public.

Although the Heaven Pavilion could only be upgraded to a Tier 8 Heaven Pavilion with three 8-star apothecaries, if both Ye Chenfeng and Jiao Yuyan were to become Tier 9 alchemists, the Heaven Pavilion with two Tier 9 alchemists would be able to become a Tier 8 Heaven Pavilion.

"Alright, the apothecaries who fail the selection can leave the Fire God Hall and go watch the competition in the pavilion. For alchemists who have gathered the herbs, they still need to refine the herbs you have gathered into the elixir for the formula to pass the examination."

The head protector of the Sky Hall, Xuan Chang, who was in charge of the preliminaries, said in a deep voice as he appeared in the air above the Fire God Hall and looked around at the tens of thousands of pill refiners who were both happy and sad.

"I'm leaving, you can do it!"

Mu Qinghuo patted Ye Zichen's and Jiao Yuyan's shoulders, then dragged his slightly lonely figure away from the Fire God Shrine with him as he followed the failed selection of alchemists.

Soon, there were only three thousand alchemists left in the previously overcrowded white jade plaza. Two-thirds of the alchemists had been eliminated.

"Holy Son Huo Ling, I will definitely make you pay a painful price for your actions!" Ye Chenfeng looked at the Fire Spirit Holy Son, who had a gloomy expression, and swore in his heart.

"Alright, you only have two hours to concoct pills. If you are unable to do so within two hours, you will be eliminated!" Zhang Ye said in a loud voice.

Just as Xuan Chang's words left his mouth, balls of scorching hot flames rose from the white jade plaza. The entire white jade plaza was like a huge brazier; it was extremely spectacular.

"Yuyan, let's begin!" Ye Chenfeng took a deep breath, cleared away the distracting thoughts and said softly.

"Alright!"

Jiao Yuyan nodded her head and did not use the quasi-Saint Pill Furnace that Dao Chi gave her. Instead, she summoned the mid-grade Dao treasure, the Purple Venus Furnace, and began to refine the pseudo-Dao pills.

However, Ye Chenfeng did not summon his pill furnace. Instead, he controlled the Dead Flame Heaven Flame to transform into a pill furnace and quickly refined the impurities in the eleven main ingredients to refine a False Dao Pill grade Jadeite Dew Pill.

Although the Jade Dew Pill was one of the more difficult pills to refine, it was nothing difficult for Ye Chenfeng.

Under the scorching Death Flame, the eleven herbs instantly withered and melted, turning into a large amount of liquid essence.

"Bang bang bang!"

As Ye Zichen and Yu Yan were using their mysterious pill refining skills to condense pill prints like flowing water, the White Jade Square was suddenly filled with sounds of exploding pills.

Staring at the black dregs in the cauldron, the apothecaries who failed couldn't hide their disappointment. The reason why they failed so quickly was because the herbs they were looking for in the mountains of ancient medicines had been mixed with fake herbs, causing them to fail.

Time passed second by second, more than an hour later, the fragrant smell of medicine wafted out from the white jade plaza. Ye Chenfeng, Jiao Yuyan, and the Fire Spirit Holy Son successfully finished refining the impurities.

When they were condensing the pill, Ye Chenfeng and Jiao Yuyan used the same pill refining technique. They condensed pill traces that seemed to possess life into the quickly condensing pills, forming pill marks on the surface of the pill and improving the pill's quality.

After about half an incense stick of time, the nine pellets simultaneously rose into the air.

Ye Zichen, Yu Yan, and the Fire Spirit Holy Son also finished refining the pill. They were evenly matched. After the three of them, there were many other pill refiners who managed to concoct pills as well.

Soon, two hours passed. Eighty percent of the apothecaries had completed their pill forging, but nearly three hundred of the apothecaries had failed and were eliminated.

After he finished concocting the pills, a strong wave of soul power was released from the Profound Letter Soul Sea, covering the entire White Jade Square. He was fully focused on using the pills and quickly checking the quality of the people who were refining the pills.

Under the inspection of Xuan Chang Xin's powerful soul, dozens more people were eliminated due to the low quality of the pill.

In the end, out of the ten thousand apothecaries, only twenty-seven hundred passed the initial selection. All of the remaining apothecaries were eliminated.

"Congratulations on passing the first round of selection, you will now be rewarded!"

As he said this, the Universe Ring in Xuan Chang Xin's hand began to emit a fiery light. A thousand balls of precious fire spirits were like a blazing sea of fire as they rose into the air. The surging heat caused the temperature of the entire White Jade Square to rise sharply.

"These 1000 fire spirits are your reward. But, you can only rely on your soul to subdue them and then think of a way to protect your own fire spirit within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. This will require you to test your soul force and control your firepower." "After an incense stick of time, those who didn't manage to snatch the Fire Spirit were eliminated!" Xuan Chang Xin said majestically as he looked at the burning gazes of the alchemists around him.

"Hua …"

The entire White Jade Square burst into an uproar as soon as Xuan Chang's letter ended.

No one expected that these 1000 fire spirits were not just a reward but a test. Over 2700 people were fighting for the 1000 fire spirits. This meant that nearly two-thirds of them would be eliminated. This sort of brutal competition was simply unimaginable.

"Alright, you have two hours to rest. After two hours, begin to tame the fire spirit!" Taking in the expressions of everyone present, Xuan Changxin loudly announced.
