The Pill Duel Competition begins with Ye Haochuan wagering his life against Senior Fang, a powerful Mysterious Pill Grandmaster with Great Achievement. Despite public doubt and Senior Fang's arrogance, Ye Haochuan steps forward, claiming he is the Mysterious Pill Master and challenging Senior Fang's disdain for his lack of a badge. Li Ding urges Senior Fang to spare Ye Haochuan for later refinement, but Ye Haochuan provocatively asks if Senior Fang is afraid to compete.

Ye Haochuan’s words immediately elicited a burst of laughter.

"Damn it, is this guy here to crack jokes? Saying his pill furnace is too good, I bet he doesn’t even have a pill furnace!"

"I don’t think it’s that he doesn’t have one, rather his pill furnace is too shabby, he’s embarrassed to show it and wants to use this excuse to save face!"

Listening to these discussions, Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but smile bitterly in his heart.

His pill furnace was indeed too good, certified by the Medicine King, belonging to the Supreme Divine Monarch. Using such a fine pill furnace for a mere pill duel seemed an insult to the Supreme Divine Monarch’s prestige.

Senior Fang beside him turned livid with rage, almost horrified by Ye Haochuan’s words.

His pill furnace was a rare alchemy immortal tool that could significantly increase the chance of pill formation and potentially improve pill quality.

This ignorant brat dared to shamelessly claim his pill furnace was better. It was truly audacious.

But he didn’t want to waste more words on Ye Haochuan, only wishing to end the competition quickly and throw Ye Haochuan into the pill furnace for alchemy.

"I have a pill furnace here, if you can succeed in refining a second-grade mysterious pill with it, no matter how poor the quality, I’ll count you as winning!"

Leaving a cold remark behind, Senior Fang tossed a worn pill furnace in front of Ye Haochuan.

This pill furnace was one he had used before, of slightly lower quality but still a rare treasure.

He didn’t feel he was benefiting unfairly just because his pill furnace was better; in his view, Ye Haochuan couldn’t refine even a first-grade mysterious pill, let alone a second-grade one.

Ye Haochuan looked at the pill furnace, smiled, and said, "This pill furnace looks good, I’ll use it then!"

Typically, there is a tacit understanding between an alchemist and their pill furnace; it takes time to master the furnace’s unique traits to refine better pills.

Ye Haochuan was bold and skilled, naturally unconcerned, but in others’ eyes, he appeared ignorant, completely unaware of this fact.

A ridiculous beginning led to a decline in enthusiasm for the competition; people no longer cared about the outcome and were simply curious to see Senior Fang’s alchemy.

Zhu Kuang, from the main seat, couldn’t decide whether to laugh or cry. Finally, he stood up and said, "Today’s competition pill is the second-grade mysterious pill, Infant Nurturing Pill. Three sets of herbs; whoever produces more wins. Now, let the competition begin!"

With Zhu Kuang’s command, Senior Fang immediately sat cross-legged and threw the herbs into the pill furnace, beginning his refining process.

His actions were very proficient, flowing smoothly, pleasing to the eye.

Soon, the essence charm of each set of herbs was extracted by him, and a faint scent spread out, making the surrounding people feel refreshed.

The Infant Nurturing Pill helps with cultivation and is much harder to refine than the Black Gold Primordial Pill. Senior Fang’s smooth refinement demonstrated high proficiency in his alchemy techniques.

In contrast, Ye Haochuan hadn’t moved an inch, watching Senior Fang’s refining with a trace of disdain in his eyes.

"What a fool, can’t even manage the first step yet boasts shamelessly. Just wait and see how I handle you!" Senior Fang scoffed inwardly.

Suddenly, distracted for a moment, the flame in his hand fiercely flickered a few times, instantly burning away much of the recently fused herbal liquid.

Senior Fang was startled and quickly focused his mind, concentrating on the refinement.

However, at the crucial solidifying step, the pill exploded.

Senior Fang was not disheartened; in alchemy, failure outnumbers success, and pill explosions were common for him. He adjusted his state and put the second set of materials into the furnace.

By this time, the audience was watching intently, not uttering a word about Senior Fang’s first failed attempt, rather treating it as expected.

Only Ye Haochuan shook his head, thinking how this so-called Mysterious Pill Grandmaster with great achievement couldn’t control even his flame—how pathetic!

For the second furnace, Senior Fang exerted his full effort, seemingly entering a selfless state, undisturbed by any surrounding distractions.

Finally, strands of medicinal scent emanated from the dazzling golden pill furnace.

Senior Fang’s face lit up, and the lid opened gently as he swiftly performed pill formulas. The next moment, two round pills flew out from the pill furnace, landing in Senior Fang’s hand.

"Impressive! After only two furnaces, he successfully refined the second-grade mysterious pill and even produced two at once!"

"Although they’re just mortal grade, this volume alone is quite remarkable!"

"Senior Fang truly deserves to be a Mysterious Pill Grandmaster with great achievement. Such pills are so easily attainable for him!"

The cheers grew among the crowd, now looking at Ye Haochuan as if he was a jumping clown.

Li Ding walked over proudly, laughing at Ye Haochuan: "So, you cowardly won’t even touch the herbs, now you understand the gap, right? You lost, Ye Family, and your life now belong to us!"

"Fool!" Ye Haochuan said with a calm smile.

"What did you say?" Li Ding was enjoying his triumph, but the insult from Ye Haochuan caught him off guard, making him glare.

"I said you’re a fool!"

Ye Haochuan unhesitatingly repeated: "I haven’t even started competing, how do you know I’ve lost?"

Li Ding snorted disdainfully: "You don’t even dare to move, yet you still spout nonsense here? If you’re capable, go ahead. If you can even extract the essence charm of the herbs, I’ll count that as your win!"

Ye Haochuan couldn’t be bothered with him, calmly sitting cross-legged as the Purple Lotus Spirit Flame rose, and the herbs were thrown into the pill furnace one by one.

Soon, a faint medicinal fragrance spread out, indicating that the essence charm of the herbs had been extracted.

Li Ding’s face turned from blue to white, his previous words seemingly still echoing as Ye Haochuan successfully extracted the essence charm, making him feel humiliated.

He suddenly regretted his words, realizing by his own set conditions, Ye Haochuan had already won. If Ye Haochuan seized this point, he would definitely be torn apart by the Bao Family and Gou Family.

Luckily, Ye Haochuan didn’t seem to mind, quickly transitioning to the next step.

Senior Fang watched Ye Haochuan’s movements coldly, filled with scorn.

Although Ye Haochuan’s alchemy technique was smooth, it differed from the standard method, leaving Senior Fang wondering which unreliable master taught him—if he produced pills like this, he’d eat his pill furnace.

But just as the thought arose, his eyes suddenly widened in disbelief.

From Ye Haochuan’s pill furnace, came a wafting pill scent—was it about to form pills?
