Chapter 1733: Chapter 1733: The Tournament Concludes! Three Updates

Ye Qiu had no intention to stay any longer and directly said to the elder of the auction house, "Since my pill is gone, may I leave now?"

"Alchemist Ye, you may come and go as you please; there is no need to ask me," the elder of the auction house replied courteously and respectfully. Even if Ye Qiu could not obtain the title of the first Alchemist, his alchemy had already won over the elder.

"I understand." Ye Qiu nodded slightly, giving a signal with his eyes to Chen Yafeng, and then said to Hua Wuji and Jin Xiaoshun, "Let’s go."

"All right."

Jin Xiaoshun had long wanted to leave, feeling the alchemy competition was somewhat unfair.

Hua Wuji said nothing more, called to the tabby cat, and the three of them immediately followed Ye Qiu away.

With the members of Dan Shen Sect gone, the alchemy competition moved into its final stage — selecting the candidate for the first Alchemist.

If Ye Qiu’s pill were still present, there would be no question; Ye Qiu would surely have claimed the title of the first Alchemist. But now, according to the rules of the alchemy competition, Ye Qiu had lost his qualification, and the first Alchemist could only be chosen from the remaining participants.

The elder of the auction house examined the pills crafted by the four remaining contestants one by one. Among them, Chen Yafeng’s was the best, almost reaching the mid-tier Divine Grade. As for the pills made by Ghost Pill Master and Liu Danqing, they were very similar, both at a low-tier Divine Grade, essentially tying.

Pill Master’s pill was nearly falling out of the Divine Grade, with only a faint trace of Divine Grade aura. The pill surface was covered with cracks and fine lines, almost becoming a useless pill; it was barely even at the lowest tier of the Divine Grade.

Once again, the title of the first Alchemist fell upon Chen Yafeng.

"Congratulations," said Ghost Pill Master and Liu Danqing, offering a fist salute to Chen Yafeng.

Chen Yafeng gave a bitter smile. Although the title of the first Alchemist was awarded to him, at this moment, he felt unworthy of the designation.

That title should belong to the young man, Ye Fantian.

Representing the Piaomiao Sect, Chen Yafeng became first again, defending the prestige of the first Alchemist, to the delight of many from the Piaomiao Sect.

Even the sect leaders of the Sky Star Sect and Thousand Illusions Sect offered congratulations to the sect leader of Piaomiao Sect.

Afterward, the members of the three major sects, Sky Star Sect, and Thousand Illusions Sect, did not linger and left the alchemy competition venue.

Pill Master took third place, and the sect leader of Tian Can Sect whispered a few words in his ear, and then the disciples of Tian Can Sect also left one after another.

The alchemy competition venue, once surrounded by tens of thousands of spectators, suddenly found itself half empty.

However, it must be acknowledged that this year’s alchemy competition was unusually spectacular, surpassing those of previous years.

Besides the contest among alchemists from the three major sects — Chen Yafeng, Ghost Pill Master, and Liu Danqing — who competed against each other in alchemy, an unexpected contender emerged: Ye Qiu, who produced a Divine Grade pill that shocked everyone.

Although the Divine Grade pill was ultimately taken, its emergence under everyone’s witness marks a historic moment, to be remembered by all in Qingfeng County.

Especially Ye Qiu, the sect leader of a declining sect, who, after today, will surely lead Dan Shen Sect back to its former glory.

"Why did the members of the three major sects depart so swiftly?"

"I noticed those sect leaders seemed deeply troubled; could something major be about to happen?"

"Take a guess, who exactly stole the Divine Pill? Could the departures of the three major sects be tied to the Divine Pill?"

"I feel it’s more likely related to that Ye Fantian. A Divine Pill lost can be refined again, but an Alchemist capable of creating a Divine Grade pill is unique in Qingfeng County."

Someone pointed out the crucial detail, suddenly enlightening many minds, leading them to speculate about why certain people left quickly.

At this moment, the three major sects almost simultaneously issued an order to invite Ye Qiu to their sects, by any means necessary, without harming Ye Qiu in any way.

This information greatly surprised the disciples of the three major sects. In fact, not just the three major sects, but other sects as well were trying every possible method to invite Ye Qiu to their sect.

An alchemist capable of producing Divine Grade pills is practically a moving treasure. Whoever can command such a person gains the ability to create powerful individuals.

Especially since some sects even have Saints behind them, acquiring a Divine Pill might enable a Saint to advance further.

The importance of Ye Qiu is self-evident.

While all sects were trying to figure out ways to invite Ye Qiu to their sects, Ye Qiu himself was swiftly sprinting alone.

He did not allow Hua Wuji and Jin Xiaoshun to accompany him, instead sending them back to the sect first. After all, there were many Spiritual Medicines in the valley, and he wanted to prevent any outsiders from intruding.

Once Hua Wuji and Jin Xiaoshun quickly returned to the valley, following Ye Qiu’s teachings, they activated the techniques for the Formation, which reestablished the grand protective field around the entire valley, making it very difficult for outsiders to enter.

Even if someone managed to get through the outer Formation and into the valley, there were still formations blocking the way. In particular, the Spiritual Medicine Garden had layers of formations set by Ye Qiu, making it impossible for even the servants within Dan Shen Sect to see clearly what lay inside.

Soon enough, people started coming to Dan Shen Sect, wishing to meet Ye Qiu.

Jin Xiaoshun glanced at Hua Wuji, "The sect leader predicted right, people are coming to us already."

Regarding the actions of various sects, Ye Qiu had already instructed the two as he sent them back to the sect: show neither fear nor offense to any visitors, but most importantly, stall!

Hua Wuji stood within the grand protective field, responding to the visitors, "Everyone, Sect Leader Ye is exhausted after the alchemy competition and is currently resting, not suitable for receiving visitors. Please return after a few days."

"We’ve brought some beneficial supplements for Sect Leader Ye, hoping that Sect Leader Ye can spare a little time, just a little time," someone said politely from outside the valley.

"Sect Leader Ye has stated that he will not be seeing visitors today, so I must ask you all to please leave," Hua Wuji reiterated.

"This Ye Fantian is really putting on airs. If it weren’t for the sect leader’s instructions, I wouldn’t be speaking so politely here."

"Heh, if you dare to barge in, feel free to try. If you get through, maybe you’ll get to meet Ye Fantian," someone else waiting outside the valley entrance said sarcastically, as people from other sects had also congregated there, unable to enter.

Many stood at the entrance, unable to meet Ye Qiu and fulfil their sect leaders’ assignments, growing quite displeased.

What they didn’t realize was that Ye Qiu wasn’t at Dan Shen Sect at all. He was rapidly making his way to a certain cave, guided by old memories.

Ye Qiu suspected that the person who stole his Divine Pill belonged to the Black Fiend Cult because he caught a trace of Fiend energy from that person before they left. Aside from individuals from the Black Fiend Cult, Ye Qiu had never sensed such energy from anyone else. To prevent the Divine Pill from being consumed by the enemy, he must seize every moment to retrieve it.

He originally didn’t want to provoke these guys, finding them somewhat sinister. But since they took the initiative to steal the pill he crafted, Ye Qiu couldn’t afford to lose a Divine Pill for nothing.

"If people don’t offend me, I won’t offend them. But if they do, they shouldn’t blame me for being ruthless!" Ye Qiu’s eyes glimmered with a cold light.
