ever, he knew nothing about formations. This left him clueless until his death, staring wide-eyed as his breath ceased, dying without closure.At this time, Lu Song and the others guarding outside hear..."Uh..."

Everyone was stunned by the scene, they could hardly believe their eyes.

Including the Grandmaster, who was a flawless masterpiece of beauty, her face was filled with astonishment. It was clear that this result had exceeded even her expectations.

The middle-aged man's smile slowly solidified, a flash of unbridled murderous intent passing through his eyes.

And then, to everyone's astonishment, the scene became even more shocking. Ye Bufan didn't stop there; he continued to cast several spells, manipulating the flames inside to continue refining the pill.

In everyone's eyes, after the recent anomaly, although the furnace didn't explode, this batch of pills was definitely ruined.

>But everything this man had done seemed to tell them otherwise.

Ye Bufan's movements were like flowing water, elegant and swift. Compared to the previous Great Dan Shi, he was even more superior.

After stabilizing the pill furnace, the medicinal liquid inside quickly contracted and entered the pill condensing stage.

After a while, a strange medicinal fragrance permeated the air. Ye Bufan struck out with a pill-gathering technique.

With a flick of his hand, six pills flew out from within and landed in the jade bottle prepared in his palm.

"This... actually really refined the pill!"

After a brief moment of shock among the attendees, the room erupted in an uproar.

“Who is this young man He actually has such skill. What kind of alchemy is this”

"My God, even the Grand Alchemist couldn't control the situation, but he managed to stabilize it and even refined a furnace of waste pills into medicine..."

"I had seen him before, but I didn't know he was a real alchemist. And he's incredibly powerful..."

The crowd gasped in amazement, some recognizing Ye Bufan who they had just seen at the stall.

Especially that bushy beard, his shocked eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets.

He was just being self-righteous and swore up and down that the other person was a fraud. Now it seems like he was completely wrong, the other person's alchemy skills are beyond imagination.

Now many people regret it, such a brilliant alchemist, with such favorable alchemy conditions, but they didn't cherish it and missed the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The Grandmaster stood beside him, paying no heed to the reactions of the crowd. Her gaze was fixed on the jade bottle in Ye Bufan's hand.

There were six pills inside. Five of them were black as charcoal, completely ruined, and emitted a strange fragrance.

And the other one is a dark red color. Although its surface is somewhat pitted, it is ultimately a complete pill that exudes the characteristic fiery aura of the Fire Lord's Pill.

"Fortunately, I managed to keep a pill!"

Ye Bufan raised his hand, and the jade bottle fell into the hands of the Great Alchemist.

"This young master, I thank you."

The Great Dane Master bowed to him. If he hadn't intervened, the alchemy furnace might have exploded, potentially injuring those nearby and even causing a celestial being to fall.

Not only that, if the pills cannot be refined, I will have to pay three times the amount as compensation.

Prior to this, I agreed to these terms out of pure confidence in myself. But once I fail, where will I get the materials for three Fire Venerable Pills The potential losses are unimaginable.

For this very reason, her feelings towards the man before her were a mixture of curiosity, gratitude, and deep respect.

"No need to thank me."

Ye Bufan waved his hand. “The conditions were just stated, I’m not giving this to you for free. I want that piece of Miaoyao Cloud Stone.”

"Ok."

The Great Dane Master readily agreed. If not for his help, this piece of ethereal cloud stone would have been impossible to obtain, and he would have had to pay triple the amount.

Now that the outcome favored her, she felt like she had won big. So despite the preciousness of Piao Miao Yun Shi, she didn't care at all.

Moreover, it was the last pill Ye Bufan had refined. As a reward for his alchemy skills, it was rightfully his.

After she finished speaking, she waved her hand, and the jade bottle flew to the middle-aged man's face.

"Although the appearance is a bit worse for wear, this is definitely an authentic Huozun Dan. It counts as completing your request."

"This..."

The middle-aged man's expression changed, but he didn't reach for the pill in front of him.

To others, this would seem like a normal reaction. After all, trading such a large piece of ethereal cloud stone for a Fire Venerable Pill of inferior quality is a rather unprofitable deal.

But before, when he was refining pills, he didn't clearly state how many he wanted to refine or what level they should be. According to the agreement, now it can be considered that he has fulfilled his promise.

The key to alchemy is that it involves a lot of luck. Sometimes, an entire batch of pills can be ruined. Even if you manage to successfully refine the pills, it's hard to control how many you get or what their level will be.

Seeing that he remained silent and hadn't offered the ethereal cloud stone, the Grand Alchemist frowned slightly.

This furnace isn't really successful, although it does fulfill my promise to you. It's still a bit lacking.

“Alright, I’ll agree to forge a batch of pills for you free of charge.”

Upon finishing his words, a chorus of congratulations erupted around him. Under normal circumstances, the Grand Alchemist had fulfilled his promise and owed nothing to the other party.

Now they have made compensation, it's simply going above and beyond.

What was strange was that the middle-aged man in front of them didn't know when to stop. He still stood there with a cold expression, not saying a word.

And just then, Ye Bufan beside him spoke to the Great Alchemist.

Do you know why that batch of pills just went awry

The topic shifted rather abruptly, and the Grand Master was taken aback for a moment. However, he still replied, "To be honest, I haven't figured out where the problem lies yet."

"I just finished refining the elixir carefully, with no mistakes. Logically speaking, there's no way it could have exploded."

This was indeed the doubt in her heart, but with things unfolding before her eyes, she didn't have time to ponder it deeply.

"Because of what he did."

Ye Bufan pointed at the middle-aged man, "Actually, he never expected you to successfully refine the elixir. This piece of Miao Yun Stone was more of a bait, and he never intended to give it to you."

He did this to blackmail you into paying him three times the amount.

Though his words were soft, they struck like a thunderclap. After he spoke, not only did the Grand Master's expression change drastically, but the crowd around him also erupted instantly.

After all, this news was too explosive, beyond everyone's comprehension.

This time, middle-aged people are no longer silent. Their cold eyes are full of killing intent.

"Kid, do you know the consequences of slandering an Immortal Emperor"

"Shut up!"

Facing the middle-aged man, the master of Tai Chi was fearless. He let out a loud roar, then looked at Ye Bufan.

"Sir, what exactly is going on Please explain it to me directly!"

Ye Bufan said calmly: "The medicinal herbs he gave you had problems, that's why the furnace exploded."

"Nonsense!" the middle-aged man shouted angrily, "Do you think the Grand Alchemist is blind He would be able to tell if there was something wrong with the herbs!"

The Great Alchemist said, "After so many years of refining medicine, it's impossible for someone to tamper with my work right in front of me. Those herbs are indeed fine."

Others shook their heads as well, thinking the man was not credible.

Other things might be able to fool the grandmaster, but not the herbs. After all, this is a genuine eleventh-rank Immortal Pill Master.n Qirui trembled all over and stammered, "I really don't know what you're talking about!""I've never even seen a Flame Stone, and I've never been to the Treasure Pavilion auction!""Tough guy, you stil...
