Elixir Grand Competition

At this moment, a servant finally came to report, "Master Lei Yi, according to our informant within the Chen Family, Yang Lingtian is still in Chen Manor."

"What, really?" Master Lei Yi asked, both excited and surprised.

"Yang Lingtian wasn't taken away? Then how could Lei Gang let it go?"

"I don't know about that. According to the person inside, he saw Yang Lingtian," the servant continued.

"But only those present that day know what happened, and the Chen Family Patriarch ordered them not to spread the word."

"Alright, it seems the Chen Family reached some agreement with Lei Gang," Master Lei Yi guessed.

"But this agreement must be very embarrassing for the Chen Family, causing them to suffer a great loss, so they don't want it to spread."

Learning that Yang Lingtian was still in Chen Manor, Master Lei Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

Three months had passed, and he couldn't wait to obtain the Great Yellow Elixir formula to solve the toxins in his body.

He couldn't wait any longer and directly said to the servant, "Go to Chen Manor and say that Master Lei Yi invites Yang Lingtian to the True Elixir Pavilion as a guest."

Soon, Yang Lingtian, who was cultivating, received Master Lei Yi's invitation.

Only then did he remember that he had a three-month agreement with Master Lei Yi.

Not being one to break his promises, he tidied himself up and set off for the True Elixir Pavilion.

Yang Lingtian hadn't been out for several days, and people thought he had been captured by Lei Gang.

Meanwhile, the Lei Family in Tianchen City was in complete chaos.

Because Lei Gang, the Lei Family Patriarch, had been missing for three days after going to Tianchen City.

No one knew what had happened. The Lei Family's inquiries revealed that Lei Gang had entered Chen Manor and never came out.

This made the Lei Family feel uneasy.

The impact of Lei Gang's disappearance was still brewing, but Yang Lingtian didn't bother to pay attention to it.

At this moment, he was swaggering down the street, heading towards the True Elixir Pavilion.

Many people were surprised to see Yang Lingtian.

They thought he had been captured by Lei Gang, but now he was appearing on the street.

Soon, Yang Lingtian arrived at the True Elixir Pavilion and received a warm welcome.

He was led to a secret room and met Master Lei Yi.

Master Lei Yi saw Yang Lingtian and said with a smile, "Long time no see, Young Friend Yang."

Yang Lingtian didn't want to waste time with pleasantries and said directly, "You want the Great Yellow Elixir formula, right?"

"What I promised you, I will definitely give you. This is the Great Yellow Elixir formula."

Then, the Great Yellow Elixir formula that he had written in advance appeared in his hand.

When Master Lei Yi saw the formula, his eyes lit up as if they were shining, and his expression was slightly excited.

"Haha, good, good, good, thank you, Young Friend Yang," Master Lei Yi said excitedly as he took the formula.

Suddenly, a powerful aura came from outside.

This was the aura of a Golden Core expert.

Master Lei Yi's face changed. He was very familiar with this aura; it belonged to the Pavilion Master of the True Elixir Pavilion.

He quickly put away the formula and went out to greet him. Yang Lingtian also followed.

The Pavilion Master of the Tianchen City True Elixir Pavilion was named Wu Xulong, a Golden Core expert in the early stage and a First-Rank Alchemist.

He rarely appeared in front of people, so his arrival this time must be for something important.

After Lei Yi and Yang Lingtian came out, Wu Xulong looked at Yang Lingtian with a hint of apprehension in his eyes.

Because he was one of the Golden Core experts who watched the show from the clouds a few days ago.

He had seen Yang Lingtian unleash a terrifying blow with an unknown treasure.

Wu Xulong looked at Yang Lingtian and smiled slightly, "You are the one who provided our True Elixir Pavilion with the Heavenly Spirit Elixir formula, right?"

"That's right, it was this Young Master Yang who provided it. I drafted the cooperation agreement with him," Lei Yi said preemptively.

Yang Lingtian also cupped his fist slightly and said, "It is I. If you have important matters to discuss, then I'll take my leave first?"

"No need, it's not a secret. It doesn't matter if you're here," Wu Xulong said, shaking his head.

"You are now considered a partner of our True Elixir Pavilion."

Yang Lingtian smiled slightly and said nothing more.

"I wonder what important matter brings the Pavilion Master here?" Master Lei Yi asked, returning to the main topic.

"Master Lei Yi, I'm here to inform you," Wu Xulong turned his gaze to Master Lei Yi.

"In a month, the once-in-a-decade Great Elixir Competition will be held in Moon Shadow City, the capital of the Star-Moon Dynasty."

"This is the latest date determined by the main pavilion, so I'm here to inform you to prepare."

Master Lei Yi looked troubled and said, "Pavilion Master, I've been trying to refine a third-tier spirit pill recently."

"If I succeed in refining it, then I will become a Tier 3 Alchemist, and then our Tianchen City won't be at the bottom."

"But the time is too tight. We have to rush for half a month in advance. I won't be able to break through to Tier 3 Alchemist with the little time left."

Wu Xulong also sighed: "Alas, last time our Tianchen City branch was at the bottom."

"Master Lei Yi, if you don't make it in time to become a Tier 3 Alchemist, I guess we will be at the bottom again this time!"

"If this continues, I won't be able to save face as the Pavilion Master of this branch."

Yang Lingtian, listening to their conversation, interjected: "Is it not possible to not participate?"

Wu Xulong shook his head and said, "Headquarters requires every branch to participate."

"I don't want to participate either, but this is not just a matter of reputation."

"If the ranking is in the bottom ten, we need to hand over 50% of the branch's annual profit."

"But if we can get into the top ten, in addition to not having to hand over the branch's profit, we will also receive extra rewards."

Wu Xulong looked serious, paused, and continued.

"The first place will receive a fifth-tier Spirit Elixir, a fourth-tier pill formula, and a third-tier pill formula."

"The second place will receive five fourth-tier Spirit Elixirs and a third-tier pill formula."

"The third place will receive one fourth-tier Spirit Elixir and a third-tier pill formula."

"And the fourth to tenth places will receive a third-tier pill formula."

"Most importantly, the top ten do not need to hand over the Spirit Stones they earn to the headquarters."

"And the subsequent rankings need to hand over Spirit Stones to the headquarters, and the proportion handed over is determined according to the ranking."

"The most tragic are the last ten, who hand over 50% of their profits."

Hearing this, Yang Lingtian also felt that it was too tragic to hand over 50% of the profits.

But what does this have to do with him?

Although he is now proficient in elixirs, he is too lazy to help their branch.

He won't do anything without benefits.

At this moment, the system suddenly issued a mission.

[Ding, as a strong person, you should be famous everywhere. A limited-time mission is now released to help the Tianchen City True Elixir Pavilion branch become the first in the elixir competition.]

Yang Lingtian was stunned for a moment.

Since the system has issued a mission, then in order to become stronger and for the reward, he can only accept it.

Yang Lingtian volunteered: "Pavilion Master, I can represent your Tianchen City branch in the competition and guarantee that you will win first place in the competition."

As soon as these words came out, Master Lei Yi and the Pavilion Master were stunned, thinking they had misheard.

"Young Master Yang, what did you say? You want to help us win first place in the competition?" Wu Xulong asked in surprise.

"That's right." Yang Lingtian nodded.

"Could it be that young friend Yang, you also know how to refine elixirs and are an alchemist?" Master Lei Yi asked in surprise.

"That's right, otherwise how would I have that Heavenly Spirit Elixir pill formula?" Yang Lingtian said with a faint smile.

Previously, Master Lei Yi thought that the pill formula was accidentally obtained by the Chen Family and never thought that Yang Lingtian was an alchemist.

Moreover, Yang Lingtian is only eighteen years old, and they find it hard to believe that there is such a young alchemist.

Therefore, Wu Xulong and Master Lei Yi were both skeptical.

"Then what tier alchemist are you now?" Master Lei Yi asked with a skeptical tone.

"I don't know exactly, but it's no less than Tier 3!" Yang Lingtian replied calmly.

"Haha, young friend, don't joke around." Master Lei Yi obviously still didn't believe it and laughed.

"I have spent most of my life studying elixirs, and I am only a Tier 2 Alchemist now."

Wu Xulong also felt that Yang Lingtian was joking and followed up.

"Yes, Young Master Yang, you may be able to refine some ordinary pills, but refining Spirit Elixirs is different."

Obviously, they won't believe it without showing some real skills.

"How about this, I will personally refine the third-tier Spirit Elixir Heavenly Spirit Elixir for you to see." Yang Lingtian said calmly.

Wu Xulong and Master Lei Yi frowned slightly. Is this for real?

Although there is a Heavenly Spirit Elixir pill formula, even Master Lei Yi can't refine it yet.

Yang Lingtian actually said that he wanted to refine the third-tier Spirit Elixir Heavenly Spirit Elixir. If he really succeeds in refining it, then he will definitely be at least a Tier 3 Alchemist.

"Okay, come with me." Although Master Lei Yi still didn't quite believe it, he still gave him a chance.

Soon, they arrived at the place where Master Lei Yi refined Spirit Elixirs.

The materials here are complete, and there are no shortage of spirit herbs for refining the Heavenly Spirit Elixir.

Yang Lingtian was straightforward and directly walked to the alchemy furnace to start refining the elixir.

As soon as the furnace was lit, Yang Lingtian placed all the required spirit herbs into the alchemy furnace.

This action made Master Lei Yi's heart ache; these were precious spirit herbs!

When he usually refined pills, he would put them in one by one, in a specific order. Never would he dump them all in at once like Yang Lingtian.

In Master Lei Yi's opinion, Yang Lingtian was clearly an amateur.

Wu Xulong, as a First-Rank Alchemist, also shook his head. He had been expecting Yang Lingtian to give him a pleasant surprise.

This was a fright instead.

This was clearly a waste of precious medicinal materials!

But since they were all already inside, they couldn't say anything and could only wait and see.

At this moment, Yang Lingtian held his hands in a circle, and the spiritual power within him slowly surged out.

His hands moved sometimes fast, sometimes slow, like dancing butterflies, working together perfectly.

The surrounding air seemed to be driven by him, forming a faint whirlwind.

Wu Xulong and Master Lei Yi stared intently at Yang Lingtian's every move.

Although they were knowledgeable, they had never seen such a pill refining technique before.

This further confirmed in their minds that Yang Lingtian simply didn't know how to refine pills.

As time passed, Yang Lingtian's movements became faster and faster.

His hands were like swimming dragons emerging from the sea, as fast as lightning, drawing streaks of afterimages in the air.

The fire in the alchemy furnace, driven by spiritual power, burned brighter and brighter, like a hidden beast roaring.

Yang Lingtian urged the spiritual power in his body, injecting it into the alchemy furnace bit by bit.
