Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"Brother Ji, although Zhang Yu has lost, the competition isn't over yet..."

Just as Zhang Yu was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted, Lu Feng secretly transmitted his voice again, signaling Gu Juji to calm down.

After all, Zhang Yu was only a quasi-fourth-grade alchemist, and his ranking among the four rising stars was not high, only third, not much better than Gu Juji, who was at the bottom of the class.

Currently, neither Hai Dafu, who possesses the "Blood Burning and Pill Fusion Technique," nor Guo Tianlin, who wields the "Dual Spirit Distraction Spell," are easy to deal with. Opening the champagne now would undoubtedly be premature!

"No, no, no!"

Faced with Lu Feng's reminder, Gu Juji unusually shook his head, then replied telepathically, "Fellow Daoist Lu, for me, this competition is already over...!"

"What?"

Lu Feng was stunned for a moment.

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Lu, actually I'm quite self-aware..."

With a grin, Gu Juji continued, "With my current level of alchemy skills, even if we continue to compete, I will definitely not be able to defeat Hai Dafu and Guo Tianlin. In the end, I will only become a laughing stock and suffer for myself."

"Besides, I'm already satisfied with defeating Zhang Yu!"

Gu Juji said solemnly, clearly having made up his mind.

After all, his alchemy skills were undeniable. Even his recent victory over Zhang Yu was thanks to Lu Feng's guidance. If he were to rely solely on his own abilities, he would be no match for Guo Tianlin and Hai Dafu.

"Should we quit while we're ahead?"

"This guy really has no ambition at all... Oh well!"

Seeing that Gu Juji had given up on the rest of the match, Lu Feng didn't say anything, only shook his head.

Because the other party's decision wasn't exactly wrong.

With only Gu Juji's level of alchemy and ability, without my guidance, it would be a pipe dream to defeat Guo Tianlin and Hai Dafu later on.

"Zhang Yu left the arena spitting blood, and Brother Ji also withdrew from the competition. As for the alchemy skills of the other participants, they varied greatly. It seems that the upcoming battle for the championship will most likely be decided between these two..."

His gaze shifted again, landing on Guo Tianlin and Hai Dafu in the center of the square, and Lu Feng looked thoughtful.

Although Guo Tianlin himself is a genius alchemist from the Guo clan of the Northern Wei Kingdom, who not only has mastered the ancestral secret technique "Dual Spirit Dividing Mantra" but has also just refined the extremely rare Grade 5 Heavenly King Qi-Replenishing Pill, it will not be easy for him to win the championship.

Because Hai Dafu, who was standing to the side, was no ordinary person either. He also mastered a secret alchemy technique called "Blood Burning Elixir Fusion Technique," which required burning one's life force. Moreover, the quality of the elixirs he produced was no less than grade five!

Therefore, in Lu Feng's view, the final battle for the championship still has suspense!

"Vice President Meng!"

Leaning forward, Hai Dafu slightly cupped his hands, then took out a small, bright red, egg-shaped pill from his sleeve and handed it to Mondo opposite him.

"This pill is called the Spiritual Blood Nourishing Pill. It is the culmination of my hard work. I would appreciate your comments, Vice President."

Hai Dafu spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, his face composed, seemingly very confident in the pills he had refined.

After all, the Spirit-Connecting Blood-Nourishing Pill is a genuine Grade 5 pill, and in order to refine this Spirit-Connecting Blood-Nourishing Pill, he not only used the Blood-Burning Pill Fusion Technique throughout the entire process, but also sacrificed half a year of his lifespan, which can be described as a huge price to pay!

"Hmm, not bad."

As he raised his hand to accept the Spirit-Nourishing Blood Pill, Mondo raised an eyebrow and a hint of appreciation flashed across his face. "This pill is not only of excellent quality, making it one of the best among fifth-grade pills, but it can also quickly restore the blood and qi and injuries of ordinary martial artists below the Spirit Soul Realm. It is truly rare."

"A mere fifth-grade Spiritual Blood Nourishing Pill is nothing to worry about!"

Just as Mundo was making his comments, a disdainful sneer came from the side.

The next moment, Guo Tianlin leaped over, then bowed to Meng Duo, his tone equally confident, "Vice President Meng, compared to the trash pills this person concocts, this Heavenly King Qi-Replenishing Pill in my hand is far rarer and more precious!"

"Oh?"

Mundo raised his eyebrows slightly.

After all, although the Heavenly King Qi-Replenishing Pill in Guo Tianlin's possession was of good quality, it was only one of the fifth-grade pills, not much better than the Spirit-Connecting Blood-Nourishing Pill in Hai Dafu's possession.

Therefore, seeing Guo Tianlin so confident, as if he had already won, Mundo was naturally a little surprised.

"The fifth-grade Heavenly King Qi-replenishing Pill has a 93% quality rate and an impurity rate of less than 0.5%..."

With a hint of doubt in his heart, Mondo also accepted the Heavenly King Qi-Replenishing Pill handed to him by Guo Tianlin, and then examined it carefully.

"Huh? This is... a cinnabar pattern?!"

His gaze suddenly froze, and the next moment Mondo's pupils also contracted slightly, showing surprise, as if he had discovered something strange.

"This elixir has actually developed pill patterns...!"

Mondo stared intently at the Heavenly King Qi-Replenishing Pill in his right palm. A faint golden pattern could be seen emerging from the bottom of the pill, which was emitting a faint fragrance, clearly indicating its superior quality!

Danwen is a derivative of elixirs, representing the perfect fusion of medicinal essence and demon core. Moreover, every elixir that bears Danwen, regardless of its quality, is several times or even dozens of times more potent than ordinary elixirs!

To put it simply, this Heavenly King Qi-Replenishing Pill containing pill patterns is so potent that it is roughly equivalent to dozens of other fifth-grade pills of the same level, making it the best of the best!

"It really is a Danwen pattern?!"

"How is this possible...!"

Looking at the Heavenly King Qi-Boosting Pill in Mundo's hand, Hai Dafu's expression changed slightly, turning pale as if he couldn't believe it.

After all, it is not an easy task for an ordinary alchemist to refine a pill containing pill patterns. It takes hundreds of failures for them to succeed by chance once!

Although the Spirit-Nourishing Blood Pill in his hand is also a fifth-grade pill, it does not have pill patterns. Not only is its efficacy more than ten times worse, but it is also no match for the Heavenly King Qi-Replenishing Pill in Guo Tianlin's hand!

In other words, he is destined to lose this alchemy competition and has no chance of defeating Guo Tianlin!

"good!"

"This fifth-grade Heavenly King Qi-replenishing Pill, imbued with cinnabar patterns, is even comparable in medicinal value to some sixth-grade pills...!"

Nodding slightly again, Mondo glanced at Guo Tianlin beside him with some apprehension, and said in a meaningful tone, "It seems that the competition for the championship in this Pill Refining contest has already been decided..."

"As for the final winner, it is Guo Tianlin, the top of the four rising stars of the Alchemist Guild, from the Guo clan of the Northern Wei Kingdom!"

"Thank you, Vice President Meng."

Seeing Mundo announce the result of the match on the spot, Guo Tianlin also raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a smug smile, as if he had expected it all along.

"It's finally over!"

"I never expected that even Hai Dafu wouldn't be a match for Guo Tianlin. This man's alchemy skills are too abnormal! If this trend continues, I'm afraid that in just a few years, even the 'One-Eyed Alchemist' Mondo won't be a match for him...!"

"I've heard that Guo Tianlin joined the Alchemist Guild less than five years ago, yet he's already able to refine fifth-grade pills containing pill patterns. If he doesn't die young, he certainly has the potential to surpass even Xu Liancheng, the 'Hundred Hands Lotus'!"

"It can't be that exaggerated! Xu Liancheng is the renowned number one medicine king of the four kingdoms of Lingnan. Could it be that Guo Tianlin's talent in alchemy is even superior to the former?!"

On the side of the plaza outside the hall, seeing Guo Tianlin defeat his enemies and easily win the championship, the young masters of various noble families also cast surprised glances at him. At this moment, their faces were filled with envy and astonishment.

After all, compared to ordinary martial artists and cultivators, the profession of alchemist is not only more sought after, but also more likely to gain favor from various forces on the continent.

Moreover, Guo Tianlin is young, only in his early thirties, and is already a fifth-grade alchemist. His future is limitless!

"Hmph! A bunch of trash dares to think they can beat me? They're simply overestimating themselves!"

Guo Tianlin glanced once more at the eliminated Hai Dafu and the others, a hint of disdain flashing across his face. He then turned to Ren Tianxing, who was standing not far away, and bowed respectfully, saying, "Your Majesty, I have another request..."

"Oh?"

Ren Tianxing was somewhat surprised by Guo Tianlin's sudden request. He immediately replied, "Brother Guo, please speak freely. As long as it is within my power, that is all I need."

"Your Majesty is too kind. I have long admired Princess Luochuan, and on this auspicious day, I wish to formally propose marriage to Your Majesty and bring the princess back to my residence!"

"We beg Your Majesty's permission!"

Guo Tianlin bowed again, his face still full of confidence, as if he was determined to become the prince consort.

"Proposing marriage?"

Upon hearing this, not only was Ren Tianxing stunned, but even Lu Feng, who was about to leave from a corner of the crowd, suddenly stopped in his tracks, his face showing displeasure.

"This guy isn't satisfied with winning the pill-refining competition; now he wants to marry Miss Ren?"

Lu Feng's gaze also fell on Guo Tianlin, who was beaming with pride not far away. His brows furrowed slightly, and an unnamed fire instantly ignited within him. "Damn it! I was planning to keep a low profile and first find out who was behind the 'Bone-Melting Powder'..."

"Now it seems we have no choice but to wade into these muddy waters..."

Thinking of this, Lu Feng twisted his neck, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.

After all, although Consort Ren Xuan was not yet married, she was already his woman.

Moreover, in the underground palace of the Zhongwang Tomb site, Lu Feng and Ren Xuanfei spent a day and a night in bed together. Although the latter was reluctant to admit it, the two were ultimately in love.

Therefore, seeing Guo Tianlin's plan to interfere and take advantage of his woman, Lu Feng was naturally furious!

How dare you touch my woman?

Today, if I don't beat you so badly your own mother won't recognize you, you're no longer surnamed Lu!

Outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, in the center of the square

"Your Majesty, my feelings for Princess Luochuan are sincere and earnest; I hope you will grant my request..."

"Grant my ass! I think you're a toad trying to eat swan meat, you're just talking nonsense!"

Guo Tianlin was about to speak again when he was interrupted by a cold, sarcastic shout, which made his face darken.

"Who goes there?!"
