rce whoosh, as if trying to tear through space itself. Sadly, they were still unable to break through the invisible barrier, falling one after another onto the ground with a series of clinking sounds....A blush rose on Hua Qiqi's stunning face as she fought back the excitement surging within her. With a practiced hand, she performed the Shou Dan Jue (a technique for collecting pills), and with a flick of her wrist, three azure pills landed in the jade bottle cupped in her palm.

Ice Soul Pill, a twelfth-rank Immortal Pill.

Although these three in front of me are a bit different in quality, with rough surfaces and no trace of red veins, they are obviously inferior products, the fact that they were successfully cultivated is still a cause for celebration.

Being able to refine this kind of pill proves that she has reached the level of a twelfth-rank Immortal Alchemist.

"Hahaha, I did it! I finally succeeded!"

Hua Qiqi, who had suppressed her emotions for a hundred years, finally let them loose. Overjoyed, she turned and hugged Ye Bufan.

"Teacher, I did it! I finally succeeded!"

Whether in words or deeds, it is a release of her inner self.

Deep down, she had come to view this man as her teacher. After all, without him, she wouldn't have made such significant progress.

Only after success did I realize the vast difference between myself and others. Without Ye Bufan's guidance, I might never have been able to enter the ranks of twelfth-rank immortal alchemists.

That's precisely why her heartfelt "teacher" held profound meaning. While there was no formal initiation ceremony, her respect for the person ran deep.

At the same time, she hugged the other person in extreme excitement, and she couldn't even say why. She just wanted to share her joy with the other person.

Congratulations!

A smile bloomed on Ye Bufan's face. He had obtained the inheritance of the ancient medical school, and his alchemy skills had reached the pinnacle of this world.

As long as one's cultivation and spiritual power are sufficient, they can refine the corresponding pills. Therefore, he had never experienced the joy of advancement, but that didn't prevent him from feeling Hua Qiqi's happiness.

Slightly calmer, Hua Qiqi realized she was hugging the other person tightly and immediately blushed, hurriedly letting go.

"Thank you, teacher!"

“We’ve said that we’re just friends, helping and learning from each other. There’s no teacher-student relationship here.”

Ye Bufan said, flipping his wrist, a jade slip appeared in his palm.

"These are the twenty-seven errors that appeared when you were just alchemy. Reflect on them yourself, and there will be further improvements in the future."

He didn't speak up to remind him just now, but he remembered everything and inscribed it on the jade slip.

"Teacher..."

Hua Qiqi looked at Ye Bufan, her expression complex, gratitude shining in her beautiful eyes.

And just then, her heart fluttered, and she subsequently took out a transmission jade talisman.

"Teacher, I have an urgent matter to attend to and need to leave here. I can't continue learning alchemy with you."

"Oh!"

Ye Bufan nodded. "It's nothing, you've learned almost everything you should. In the future, if you want to improve, you can only rely on your own insights."

"Hmm!"

Huā Qīqī slightly nodded, paused for a moment and said, "Teacher, with your alchemy skills, wouldn't you participate in the Dan Wang Grand Competition"

"I was just thinking that, in a few days I'm going to take the exam for the alchemist badge."

Ye Bufan didn't hide anything and directly stated his intentions.

"Well, then, see you later."

After he finished speaking, Hu Qiqi felt a sense of relief in her heart and didn't say anything more. She turned around and left.

She left, and Ye Bufan didn't continue to stay here to refine pills. After three days of accumulation, he had quite a bit of Xianlingcao in his hands.

To simply put it, there were only two main ingredients left needed to refine the Twelfth Order Di Kun Pill: the Emperor Flower and the Heaven Earth Herb.

This type of pill is considered high-grade among the twelfth rank and can help a Celestial Emperor improve their cultivation.

However, this kind of pill is also extremely difficult to refine. First of all, it requires a high level of alchemy mastery from a Xian Dan master, and the materials needed are also extremely precious.

Thirty-six flavors of fairy herbs, each at the twelfth rank.

Ye Bufan has had a bountiful harvest these past few days. Through alchemy, he received a large amount of Xianling grass, which allowed him to gather thirty-four types, leaving only two missing.

"Young Master Ye, you're leaving already Would you like to refine a few more batches of pills for us"

Although the medicinal pills were refined for three days, the queue of people here not only did not decrease, but also increased.

Hua Qiqi left, and no one paid attention. For the past few days, they had all seen clearly that this young man had been guiding Dan Shi in alchemy, obviously with a higher attainment in the Dao of Alchemy.

If even he leaves, then I won't be able to refine the pills at all.

“I also have something to do, I can't stay here all the time.”

Ye Bufan thought for a moment and said, “If any of you have the Emperor Flower or the Universe Grass, if you bring them to me, I can refine a furnace of pills for free.”

"This…"

The surrounding area fell silent instantly. Countless people felt deeply disappointed inside, but no one could stay here refining pills forever. It was understandable that they would leave eventually.

As for the imperial flower and heaven-and-earth grass, everyone looked left and right, but no one took them out.

Ye Bufan shook his head slightly, then dismantled his stall.

He strolled around the marketplace again, but still couldn't find the Emperor Flower and the Universe Grass.

But thinking about it, it's understandable. Both types of fairy herbs are extremely precious; ordinary people find it difficult to obtain them. Even if they had them, they wouldn't just casually sell them off.

Such things can only be found gradually by fate, it's useless to rush.

Ye Bufan left Xushi and found a guesthouse in this Han Valley Immortal City, renting a small courtyard.

He was also preparing to leave here and head to the Alchemist's Guild, but he planned to upgrade Nine Heavens first.

After all, "the master craftsman must first sharpen his tools." A top-grade flying fairy artifact is much faster than a superior grade.

Set up a few restrictions around him, Ye Bufan took out the Miaoyao Cloud Stone and began to upgrade Jiutian.

About half a day later, a brand new flying magical artifact appeared before everyone.

Compared to before, the spiritual energy of the Nine Heavens is now even more potent, with an added touch of calmness and grandeur.

Looking at his own work, Ye Bufan nodded in satisfaction.

From the very beginning, it had been by my side for nine days, constantly upgrading. Now, it has finally reached the pinnacle of fairy artifacts.

After the refining was complete, he removed the restrictions and directly led everyone out of the inn. They left Hanshu Immortal City.

Upon reaching the city gate, there was a throng of people coming and going. Ye Bufan did not hastily summon his Jiutian, but instead led everyone to ten thousand miles outside the city.

Seeing that no one was around, he finally took out the Nine Heavens.

Just as everyone was about to jump up, suddenly a figure flashed, blocking their way. It was the middle-aged man from the virtual market.

"Kid, didn't expect this You ultimately can't escape the palm of this Immortal Emperor."

The middle-aged man's face contorted in a grimace, his eyes narrowed into a cruel smile. As he spoke, he clenched his right fist, as if already holding the people before him within his grasp.

Ye Bufan smiled faintly. He had guessed that this guy might be waiting for him outside, but he didn't expect him to come so soon.

"What are you going to do"

"What am I going to do to you I'm going to skin you, remove your tendons, and cut you into a thousand pieces!"

The middle-aged man gritted his teeth, his eyes burning with hatred. "It's all your fault! You completely ruined this Immortal Emperor's plans."

It's because of you that I lost the ethereal Cloud Stone. It's because of you that I had to use three incredibly precious materials just to exchange for a mediocre, low-grade pill.

Don't you think we should settle this score between us
