"What is the Dan Pavilion? Isn’t this competition open to the entire continent? Why does the Dan Pavilion seem more formidable than these people?"

Upon hearing Yuan Kui’s words, Lei Ling’er looked at Lei Wenyuan with a puzzled expression.

"Miss Ling’er, this competition is indeed open to the entire continent, but there are restrictions. Saints and those above are not allowed to participate."

Lei Wenyuan softly explained, "The Dan Pavilion is a gathering place for elite alchemists from all over the continent. As long as you can refine a seventh-grade intermediate elixir before reaching the Saint Realm, you can join the Dan Pavilion. Originally..."

He glanced at the Heaven and Earth Furnace in the square and said softly, "Originally, Mr. Jiang also had hope of entering the Dan Pavilion, but it’s a pity..."

"Brother Jiang Chen will definitely succeed!"

Lei Ling’er directly interrupted Lei Wenyuan, speaking angrily.

Lei Wenyuan smiled wryly but did not argue.

As four semi-saint pill masters finished their alchemy, everyone’s eyes once again turned to the Heaven and Earth Furnace.

Rumble!

Suddenly, another thundercloud flew by, and small flames emerged on Feng Yunxi’s alchemy cauldron, seemingly containing phantom birds within!

"She stripped away her bloodline and forced the refinement of a seventh-grade elixir. Feng Yunxi is indeed ruthless!"

"Judging by the pill’s glow, the concentration of her bloodline must be quite high!"

Seeing the flames on Feng Yunxi’s alchemy cauldron, everyone around began to whisper.

"Feng Yunxi stripped away such a concentrated bloodline, that’s quite bold!"

Cheng Huang’er spoke with some surprise.

"Bloodline? Who says she stripped her bloodline? This concentration is so high; if it were truly hers, it would have long been sent to the main family. This probably..."

Teng Wenkang spoke, casting a half-smiling glance at Feng Qianwu and others, "Is a Blood Pill refined by extracting all essence blood from a dying saint of the Feng Family.

Although Blood Pills contain Bloodline Power and seem potent, they are actually very flawed.

However, forcibly elevating the Thunder Spirit Pill to seventh-grade beginner level is possible; yet, this Thunder Spirit Pill can only be consumed by their family members. Others consuming it could cause their blood to boil, potentially resulting in explosion and death!"

Feng Qianwu and others’ faces changed, looking toward a semi-saint pill master below the stage.

"Crown Prince, are you saying that consuming the pill refined by Feng Yunxi will cause one to explode?"

A pill master who had just leaped down from the high platform cupped his fists and asked.

"Indeed, anyone not from their family under the Saint Realm consuming it will inevitably explode. That Blood Pill contains all essence blood from a single saint!"

Teng Wenkang seemed to realize something, chuckling as he spoke.

"Scoundrels! Feng Family, is this how you pay rewards?"

The semi-saint pill master spoke coldly.

"Does the Feng Family plan to use that elixir as remuneration to recruit strong external support?"

"Damn, are they trying to kill people?"

"What is the Feng Family thinking? Why do this?"

"After being refined, the Blood Pill’s effects will dissipate over time without use; it’s not like other elixirs that can be preserved!"

The crowd exclaimed in shock, and some knowledgeable old pill masters shared their guesses, instantly causing disdainful gazes towards the Feng Family.

The faces of the Feng Family turned pale then blue, lowering their heads in embarrassment yet unable to explode in anger; Teng Wenkang exposed them, and they dared not retaliate against him.

"Feng Yunxi, ascend the platform to undergo the pill tribulation!"

Suddenly, an urgent shout echoed.

Turning, people witnessed thunderclouds forming above Feng Yunxi’s alchemy cauldron, flashing with lightning, ready to strike down.

"Jiang Chen, the rule of the alchemy competition is anyone willing to ascend the platform can go; if you fear being implicated, just step up!"

Feng Yunxi glanced at the Heaven and Earth Furnace, sneeringly speaking.

"The Primordial Spirit Flame storing the elixir cannot be interrupted; once interrupted, the elixir solution can’t be preserved again. Isn’t the Feng Family supposed to know this as an alchemy lineage?"

Lei Wenyuan shouted angrily.

"Lei Family, what does this have to do with me?"

Feng Yunxi chuckled coldly, giving Teng Wenkang a bow, "Crown Prince, have I violated any rules?"

Teng Wenkang paused a moment, indifferently replied, "No!"

"Scoundrels!"

"The Feng Family is truly shameless!"

"Are they trying to kill Jiang Chen!"

"Jiang Chen probably hasn’t recovered yet, trying to preserve the elixir!"

The surrounding crowd shouted angrily.

"You forced me to this!"

From the Heaven and Earth Furnace, Jiang Chen’s cold voice resounded, "Crown Prince, during alchemy as long as you don’t touch another pill master, cauldron, or elixir, it shouldn’t count as rule violation?"

"As long as it doesn’t affect the pill master or cauldron, it doesn’t count as a violation!"

Teng Wenkang quietly responded, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Clang!

A golden light shone from the Heaven and Earth Furnace, Jiang Chen’s Primordial Spirit returned to his flesh body.

Puff!

Spitting a mouthful of blood, Jiang Chen’s face grew increasingly pale. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Ladies and gentlemen, please retract your domains, Ling’er, withdraw the remaining Necro Spheres!"

Jiang Chen cupped his fists towards Teng Wenkang and others, calling out.

Buzz!

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

Four domains were retracted, and tens of thousands of remaining Necro Spheres were collected by Lei Ling’er.

Jiang Chen glanced indifferently at Feng Yunxi, calmly said, "The debt of your Supreme Elder will be repaid by you; coincidentally, Canglan Continent is in need of an elixir below Ninth Grade with Dao properties!"

Clang!

As his words fell, Jiang Chen was surrounded by the Great Dao Wheel of Light of the Thunder Path.

"What do you mean?"

Feng Yunxi’s face changed, a sense of ominous foreboding rising in her heart.

"My Great Dao Wheel only has thunder seeds left; it can’t release tribulation lightning anymore, or the thunder seeds will dissipate, and the wheel might collapse. So, I’ll borrow some of your tribulation lightning!"

Jiang Chen spoke calmly.

Crash!

At that moment, a bucket-sized thunderbolt fell from the thundercloud above Feng Yunxi’s alchemy cauldron, much stronger than the pill lightning summoned by the four semi-saint pill masters; after all, it was an elixir refined with all essence blood of a saint.

Sizzle!

As the lightning struck, Jiang Chen’s Great Dao Wheel directly emerged, intercepting the thunderbolt.

Clang!

Thunder radiated brightly, directly absorbing the thunderbolt into the Great Dao Wheel of Light!

"Jiang Chen! How dare you!"

Feng Yunxi’s face dramatically changed, angrily shouting, attacking Jiang Chen’s Great Dao Wheel of Light of the Thunder Path.

Whoosh!

The Great Dao Wheel of Light created afterimages, swiftly returning to surround Jiang Chen.

"Wow! You can do that?"

"Bravo, well done!"

"Serves her right for being vicious!"

The crowd froze momentarily, then joyfully shouted, their enmity towards the Feng Family evident.

"Scoundrel, you violated competition rules and should be disqualified!"

Feng Yunxi shouted angrily.

"Did I violate any rules? Did I attack you, your cauldron, or your elixir?"

Jiang Chen glanced at Feng Yunxi lightly, ignoring him further, and waved his hand.

Whoosh!

The golden Long Yan surged back into the Heaven and Earth Furnace, resuming the alchemy!
