An uproar instantly swept through the square.
"The Supreme Extreme Pill?!"
"The Supreme Extreme Pill that guarantees a one-star increase in a Dou Zong's strength, with each Dou Zong able to take up to two in their lifetime?!"
"The Supreme Extreme Pill is as difficult to refine as a Mid-Grade Seventh-Rank Pill, and Master Chu Zhou actually succeeded?!"
"He took less time to refine a more difficult pill. Doesn't that mean..."
The eyes of many knowledgeable experts, especially representatives of factions backed by Dou Zong, instantly turned red with desire.
The Yin Yang Profound Dragon Pill was certainly miraculous, but it was of limited use to most cultivators. After all, only when someone was on the verge of death did it have a chance of taking effect, allowing them to rise anew after being broken.
What they respected was Han Feng's alchemy, which allowed him to refine grade seven pills.
But now, the Supreme Extreme Pill had appeared—a pill that could directly and reliably increase a Dou Zong's strength. The pill itself was an irresistible temptation.
The smiles froze on the faces of Su Mei, Yan, Fan Lao, and the others, replaced by shock and a trace of poorly concealed regret.
Had they known Chu Zhou was this capable, why would they have come to Maple City to support Han Feng?!
Yet even more shocking news followed.
The trusted subordinate from the Eight Gates continued, "After Master Chu finished refining the pill, Earth Demon Old Ghost of Demon Flame Valley, Great Elder Su Qian of Jia Nan Academy's Inner Academy, and Sect Master Mo Tianxing of the Black Emperor Sect all appeared at once to bid for it!"
Three Dou Zong renowned throughout the Black-Corner Region had come in person!?
Gasps rang out across the square.
That was far more
