"What Three Lines Green Spirit Pill? I've never heard of it. I refuse to accept it!!"
Yan Li shouted angrily.
"That's right! It's well known that the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill is an ancient pill formula, recognized as a peak Fourth Grade Pill. How could this Pill of unknown origin possibly compare to the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill?"
Other Alchemists from the Chu Yun Empire on the scene began to clamor.
"Hmph!"
"As Alchemists, even if you can't distinguish the name of the Pill, you should still be able to discern its quality from its aroma, right?"
Qie Mi'er coldly retorted.
The reasoning is there, but they can't admit it!
"Who knows? My Soul Power is limited, and I really can't discern the quality."
Yan Li said ambiguously.
"The Three Lines Green Spirit Pill has the effect of allowing Dou Grandmasters to advance by 2 or 3 Stars! It even has a certain chance of advancing Dou Spirit experts by 1 Star. Do you think this can be compared to the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill?"
Fa Ma sneered.
"Hiss!"
"Advance by 3 Stars in one go?"
"Useful for Dou Spirit?"
Fa Ma's explanation immediately caught the attention of the audience, who focused their enthusiastic gaze on the Pill in Yun Tianming's hand.
"This, this is impossible!"
"How could this Pill of unknown origin possibly compare to the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill?"
Yan Li continued to be stubborn and refused to admit defeat.
"The Pill's origin unknown? That's just your ignorance."
"The inventor of the Three Lines Green Spirit Pill is the renowned Medicine Sovereign!"
Fa Ma's words delivered the final blow to Yan Li.
"The pill invented by Medicine Sovereign."
Yan Li slumped to the ground like a deflated ball.
His lips moved as if to deny something, but with the immense energy contained within the Pill, no one was foolish enough to overlook it.
This time he was completely defeated.
Yao Chen witnessed it all and felt speechless.
He never expected that his own invention would be used by someone to defeat his disciple.
It's like shooting oneself in the foot!
"Hereby, I announce the champion of this Alchemist competition: Yun Tianming!"
As Fa Ma joyfully declared the result, the audience erupted into deafening cheers. Countless people excitedly stood up from their seats, their faces flushed with excitement, waving things in their hands. For a moment, the entire square was engulfed in a noisy and excited sea.
"Yun Tianming, amazing!"
"Tianming, you're awesome! I want to have your babies~~ Yiyaa~~~"
"Get lost! Do you even compare to Ya Fei and the two princesses? You're not even on the list!"
"What's wrong with that? Even being a concubine or a servant girl is fine!"
"Damn! You're ruthless!"
Almost everyone, regardless of gender, cheered for Yun Tianming.
No one expected the audience to become so excited and wild, all because this Alchemist competition had been full of twists and turns. Especially Yan Li from the Chu Yun Empire, his arrogant behavior was seen as trampling on the dignity of the Jia Ma Empire!
Liu Ling and Yao Yu, who were highly anticipated, both failed, and even the dark horse Xiao Yan was defeated. In the final moments, it was Yun Tianming who turned the tide and clinched the championship!
Starting from today, Yun Tianming's name will be thoroughly celebrated throughout the Jia Ma Empire!
Amidst the thunderous cheers from the crowd, Xiao Yan finally woke up from his daze. He looked around with a bewildered expression, finally fixing his gaze on the highly acclaimed Yun Tianming.
"The champion is Yun Tianming, huh?"
"No wonder even Xun'er praised him highly."
Xiao Yan lowered his head in disappointment. At this moment, his pride shattered.
"Cheer up, Xiao Yan!"
"You still have great potential for the future!"
Yao Chen tried to console his despondent disciple.
"Can I surpass Yun Tianming?"
Xiao Yan asked expressionlessly.
"Ah, well..."
Now even Yao Chen couldn't guarantee anything. Even he had to admit that Yun Tianming's talent far exceeded his expectations, almost comparable to disciples from the ancient Eight Clans.
As the Alchemist competition came to a close, the celebration on the square continued.
Yan Li tried to slip away secretly, but was intercepted by Fa Ma and others, ensuring he wouldn't get away easily.
"Mr. Xiao Yan, I am Yao Yi, the fourth prince of the Jia Ma royal family. Would you honor us with your presence at a banquet tonight?"
"Sorry, Your Highness, I'm tired and want to go rest."
Xiao Yan politely declined the royal invitation with a neutral expression, leaving behind a closing silhouette.
"Hmph! Who does he think he is?"
"A waste who couldn't even secure a ranking!"
Yao Yi's expression darkened. Although Xiao Yan's failure in Pill refinement resulted in him not securing a place in the competition, anyone with sense could recognize Xiao Yan's alchemy skills were definitely not inferior to Liu Ling and Yao Yu's. He was certainly someone worth befriending. But at this moment, Xiao Yan simply didn't have the mood for it.

After winning the championship, Yun Tianming found it difficult to refuse the enthusiastic crowd. In the end, he had to use his Dark Feather Wings to soar into the sky and escape the crowd's entanglement.
"Hehe~ Congratulations, Tianming!"
"I knew you were extraordinary."
Fa Ma's face was filled with joy.
"President Fa Ma, you're too kind. It was just a stroke of luck."
Yun Tianming smiled faintly, without showing too much excitement.
In the end, the Alchemist competition held by the Jia Ma Empire was just average. A mere Fourth Grade Alchemist wouldn't be enough to stand out in the entire Dou Qi Continent.
"Tianming, you have great ambition. For someone like you, the Dou Qi Continent is your stage. Indeed, the Jia Ma Empire seems a bit small for you."
Fa Ma recognized the other party's lofty goals and smiled with satisfaction.
The emergence of talented Alchemists from the Jia Ma Empire is also a good thing for the guild when it spreads.
After some brief pleasantries, Fa Ma stopped beating around the bush. He gently stroked his Spatial Ring, and a scroll of purple-silver color appeared in his palm. Smiling, he said, "This is the recipe for the Sixth Grade Pill, Spirit Fusion Pill, the prize for the champion of this competition. I hope that one day in the future, you will be able to refine the Sixth Grade Pill with your own hands."
"Thank you, President Fa Ma."
The moment Yun Tianming took the scroll, he could clearly feel the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python on his arm tense slightly, indicating that Queen Medusa had sensed something.
"By the way, the information contained in the Sixth Grade pill recipe is immense and requires a high level of Soul Power to read."
"But for Tianming, it shouldn't be too difficult, right?"
Fa Ma looked at Yun Tianming as if he had something in mind. Even with his Soul Power as a peak Fifth Grade Alchemist, he couldn't see through the other's details. How strong could the other's Soul Power be?
"Hehe~"
Yun Tianming just smiled without explaining.
Not to mention Fa Ma, even Gu He's Soul Power was not as strong as his own.
