me time, his own cultivation level also rose higher. Strong people were everywhere, and because of this, mortals in the secular world were just ants in their eyes.But the current situation has comple..."I don't know either."

Hu Bingyu shook her head. "I'll go ask my senior sister what's going on now."

After she finished speaking, she didn't linger any longer. Her figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

In the room of Lingyun Peak's Sect Master, a woman sat on a meditation cushion, a subtle smile playing on her lips.

Huabingyu said, "Senior sister, how did the competition time get moved up"

"If the outcome is already predetermined, does the process still matter"

The woman said softly, "It's the same whether it's early or late. It's better to solve it now."

Hua Bingyu was a little puzzled: "Senior Sister, what do you mean"

"You'll see when the time comes. Just do as I say, and you won't be disappointed."

The woman stood up, her wrist flipping as a jade slip appeared in her palm.

"This is the format I set for the big match. You will be hosting it tomorrow. Just follow this."

Since Senior Sister had already made her decision, Huā Bīngyú didn't ask any further questions. She reached out and took the jade slip.

Divine sense swept over, clearly seeing everything inside. Then, he raised his eyebrows: "Senior Sister, this Grand Competition is quite special this time!"

The woman giggled. “Isn’t that a good thing You have to change things up sometimes, otherwise it gets boring.”

After Hua Bingyu left, Ye Bufan came to the outside of the room.

"Come on, everyone, let's split the money."

He then produced three storage rings, throwing one each to Hua Bingyu, Shen Qirun, and Fu Jundie.

He wasn't a greedy person, and having gotten so many Xian Jing all at once, he naturally wanted to share some with everyone.

The little girl ran back and forth, putting in a lot of effort. Luo Bingyan and the two had been protecting Feng Zhiwu for some time recently, which made him feel grateful.

"Wow, so many! I'm rich!"

Fu Jundie glanced at the storage ring, then excitedly jumped up, there were a full two million low-grade Immortal Crystals inside.

The other two were the same, each receiving 20 million.

Luo Bingyan's expression changed: "I haven't done anything to deserve this, why give me so much"

Ye Bufan chuckled: "Do you believe me if I said I'd support you"

Shen Qiyue shot him a flirtatious glance. "Of course you wouldn't believe me. If I were to be kept, I'd rather keep you. As long as you agree, you'd be mine right away."

"Uh..."

Ye Bufan awkwardly smiled. “It’s nothing, anyway it's all Xianjing from the third and fifth peaks, everyone sees and has a share, dividing some is also right.”

Then he took out another storage ring and gave it to the little girl: “There are one hundred million low-grade immortal crystals inside. After this, distribute them among the fellow disciples in our sect.”

"So many, big brother, you are truly so generous. As expected of the ninth peak's senior brother."

The little girl looked at Ye Bufan with shining eyes, you know this is 100 million low-grade immortal crystals, who would be willing to take them out normally.

"Well then, we'll take it."

Shen Qiyue said as she put away the storage ring, Luo Bingyan hesitated for a moment, and finally put it away.

Ye Bufan let out a sly smile. "Immortal crystals aren't free. From now on, you'll be my bodyguards. Now, come with me to the Spirit Medicine Hall."

He left the Guyi Men Medical Hall with three people and came to the Spirit Medicine Hall.

Tomorrow is the big day, although I have enough confidence in my heart, cultivation is something that is always better to be stronger, so I still need to seize the time to improve.

"Master of the Hall, you're here!"

No sooner had he stepped through the door than Xiao Jin, the chief steward who received the news promptly, came forward with a smile plastered on his face.

Just as Yaoxuan returned, he simply stated that the master of the hall was Ye Bufan before rushing back to his seclusion to refine medicine.

The deputy hall master had suddenly become the hall master, and he was so young. It was likely that for thousands of years to come, he would be the one in charge. Xiao Jin became even more respectful.

"Get me all the herbs listed on this order."

Ye Bufan handed over the list he had already prepared, then returned to his room to wait.

Not long after, Xiao Jin walked in from outside and respectfully presented a storage ring to him.

"Headmaster, your pills are ready. However, there isn't much Golden Leaf Grass left, only one stalk remains."

Ye Bufan took the ring, his brows furrowed slightly.

To refine the Jinding Pill, this gold leaf grass is the most important herb. Unexpectedly, there's only one plant.

"What's going on, is there no inventory left"

Xiao Jin said awkwardly, "No, although the Spirit Medicine Hall is large, there are also many disciples in our sect."

Recently, there has been a high demand for goldenrod plants, but very few have been paid for. That's why there is only one left.

"Well then."

Since there's no inventory, Ye Bufan waved his hand and said, "Let's go out first."

Xiao Jin retreated and began to refine pills.

Unfortunately, there is only one gold leaf plant, which can only refine one furnace of golden elixir.

After about a quarter of an hour, nine pills fell into the jade bottle in his hand.

Ye Bufan shook his head slightly. Although each of these pills was a top-grade one, it was still a little short for the insatiable Chaotic Immortal Sutra.

It's better than nothing, he set up a barrier inside the room and then slipped into the Dragon King's Hall.

Ye Bufan swallowed nine pieces of ammunition in succession, absorbing and refining them.

It wasn't much different from what he expected. Even nine top-grade Jinding Pills only allowed him to break through to the middle stage of Jinxian cultivation.

Since the pills weren't enough, he'd use fairy crystals to make up for it. With a thought, countless low-grade fairy crystals appeared around his body, encircling him completely.

He returned from the Bing Qiong Empire before, with almost forty million of them in hand. Now he has collected another thirty million, totaling over seventy million low-grade Xianjing crystals.

So many Immortal Crystals, that the surrounding Immortal Qi became incredibly concentrated, like an unyielding viscous liquid.

Then he began to circulate his immortal essence, absorbing the surrounding immortal qi. When he opened his eyes again, they were filled with helplessness.

I have just reached the late stage of Golden Immortal, but there are only about 10 million low-grade immortal crystals left around.

"Well, I guess that's it for now."

He no longer continued his cultivation. Even with over ten million low-grade immortal crystals, he couldn't reach the peak of Jinxian. It was better to keep them on hand for later use.

Leaving the Dragon King's Palace and returning to his own room, he suddenly realized something.

Last time I took so many medicinal herbs, but later all the pills I refined were used up. The remaining three were also given to Feng Zhiwu.

According to the Lingyao Hall's rules, when the hall master receives medicinal herbs, they must offer a pill as payment. In other words, they haven't paid yet.

All nine this time were used up, it seems I need to refine some more pills. Although I am already the hall master, I cannot abuse my power for personal gain.

He just told Xiao Jin that the elixir he gave him could not only be used to refine Jin Yi Dan but also to refine a batch of Da Yi Xian Dan.

Now his spiritual power has reached the peak of Da Yi Xian, he is still able to refine this kind of elixir suitable for Da Yi Xian consumption.

After about half an hour, the air in the Spirit Medicine Hall was filled with a rich fragrance of medicinal herbs. With a wave of his hand, Ye Bufan summoned nine pills that shimmered with celestial energy into a jade bottle.

Then, he summoned Xiao Jin and paid him with two pills as compensation for his medicinal supplies.

"This..."

Xiao Jin was filled with shock. He had only sent over some medicinal herbs for a Da Yi Dan just now, and now he could casually refine a pill of this level.

This alchemist's skill is too high, no wonder he would be appointed as the Hall Master.

Ye Bufan glanced at him: "What Isn't it enough"

"Enough, enough, that's enough!"

Xiao Jin nodded repeatedly, a single Da Yi Dan was equivalent to all the medicinal herbs used today, and the medicinal herbs used in the last True Spirit Pill refining were of lower grade, so a single Da Yi Dan wasn't needed at all.

In this way, the Spirit Medicine Hall still got the better deal.

"Good enough!"

After Ye Bufan finished speaking, he left the room and returned to his ancient medical school with several women.

(A reader pointed out that Ye Bufan didn't pay for the medicine last time, which was a bug. Now it's fixed.)stepping on Fan Xiaofeng, who ranked third on the Heavenly Rankings. This guy didn't look like a new student at all.After coming to his senses, he said: "But big brother, even like this, you can't bre...
