Chapter 4005: Third Level

e attention of others, and people from all over the island came running to see what was going on.When they saw Ye Bufan and the others standing side by side, everyone was taken aback."Isn't this the n...Ye Bufan, led by staff members, arrived at another alchemy room to take the third challenge.

After entering, I saw a short and stout middle-aged man standing in the center of the study.

Ye Bufan originally thought this person would be similar to the previous two, and wouldn't have a good attitude towards him.

I hadn't even stepped through the door when he came up to me and bowed.

"At your service, young master Ye. I am Zhang Qing."

Zhang Qing, a fourth-rank immortal alchemist, the defender of the third barrier.

"This..."

Ye Bufan was a little surprised, "You know me"

Zhang Qing said: "Originally, I didn't know him. But Young Master Ye is fearless and taught that arrogant Kong Xifeng a lesson, upholding the honor of our Alchemist Guild. Therefore, he deserves my next bow."

When he finished speaking, Elder Kong Lingyuan's face instantly turned sour.

Although he knew what his grandson was like, being pointed out in public still made him lose face.

But this Zhang Qing is notorious for being tough, and he serves under Elder Wu Zheng, the second elder. There's nothing to be done about him.

Ye Bufan now understood the situation. It seemed that no matter where you were, people were divided into different levels. There were treacherous and cunning individuals, but there were also loyal and righteous ones.

This gave him a very good impression: "Senior, you're too kind. I was just doing what came naturally."

Zhang Qing bowed again, then his expression became serious.

"I respect your abilities, sir, but this third round is about the Alchemist Guild's reputation. I won't hold back."

That's fine, you can decide what kind of pill to refine. It's a small token of my respect.

But once the alchemical process begins, there will be no room for personal gain, nor any mercy shown.

Seeing this person's stance and integrity, their clear understanding of right and wrong, Ye Bufan's favorability towards them increased by a few points.

He glanced at the other person: “I also admire your senior’s character. Well then, let me give you some pointers and help you reach the rank of a fifth-order Immortal Alchemist, how about that”

"Uh…"

Now everyone watching the light curtain was full of astonishment. They had imagined all sorts of reactions from Ye Bufan, but they never expected this scene to happen.

Zhang Qing is one of the best fourth-rank Immortal Dan masters, only a step away from the fifth rank. Yet, this person dares to offer him guidance on alchemy and even help him improve Is he joking

Zhuge Qingyang and the others were also shocked, no one expected Ye Bufan to make such a request.

Only Hua Qiqi's lips curled into a smile. She deeply understood her teacher's alchemy skills, and even a twelfth-order Immortal Alchemist could receive guidance from her.

Zhang Qing frowned: "Young Master Ye, I consider myself to have treated you with courtesy. How can you insult an old man"

"No, I'm serious. I think highly of your seniors' character, so I wanted to lend a hand."

Seeing that the other party didn't believe him, Ye Bufan paused for a moment, "Alright then, didn't we just say I could choose the type of alchemy Then I choose Qinghua Dan."

When he finished speaking, Zhang Qing's face grew even more sullen: "Sir, do you know that I challenged a fifth-order Immortal Dan Master and was defeated by this Qinghua Dan So you deliberately came to humiliate me"

Ye Bufan smiled faintly: "I'm not aware of this, so it is. "

"Well, it doesn't matter much. As long as I point you in the right direction, senior should be able to refine this Qinghua Dan."

Zhang Qing gave a cold smile: "Do you think that by proposing a fifth-order pill, neither of us can refine it, you'll be able to get away with it"

I tell you, this is impossible!

Although the entrance exam doesn't restrict the grade of pills, according to the Alchemist Guild's rules, if both individuals can't refine the same type of pill, whoever proposed it will be deemed defeated and eliminated.

He had once held the young man in high esteem, but he never expected him to come up with such a plan.

Choose a fifth-order elixir to refine, thinking that would be enough to pass the test. There's no such easy way.

Ye Bufan remained calm and collected, "You're assessing a fifth-rank Immortal Alchemist, choosing the Qinghua Pill, are you"

If I'm not mistaken, you must have had an explosion during the alchemy fusion.

"Um..."

Upon hearing these words, Zhang Qing's face, which had been filled with contempt just moments ago, was now overcome with shock.

"You... how did you know"

"Of course it's obvious."

Ye Bufan said, "When you refined the Qinghua Dan, your selection of materials was fine, and the procedure was also fine, but it was precisely at the stage of fusion that the furnace exploded."

“Yeah, that’s right.”

Zhang Qing nodded in stunned amazement. The Qinghua Dan was a relatively easy-to-refine fifth-order elixir. Generally, when fourth-order elixir masters advanced to the fifth order, they would choose this kind of elixir, steadily and solidly.

"If you can find where the problem lies, I'll concede defeat right away."

His words were not just casual. After his failed advancement, he had also consulted with several senior alchemist friends who had a good relationship with him, even the second elder Wu Zheng.

But no one was able to find the problem. They simply said that his alchemical fire wasn't hot enough and his cultivation wasn't deep enough. With some time, he would naturally be able to solve it.

“I can not only help you find the problem, but also allow you to refine it successfully and step into the ranks of a fifth-order Xian Dan master at once.”

Ye Bufan said, "The reason you blew the furnace is entirely due to the two medicinal herbs in Qinghuadan, Qingyuncao and Jinqiong flower."

The Qingyun grass is steel-blue in color with cloud-like patterns. It has a relatively mild medicinal properties.

The golden orchid is golden throughout and, like the fairy grass, also has a gentle medicinal nature.

Yet these two herbs were mutually antagonistic, and when they came into contact, they became extremely violent, ultimately causing the alchemy furnace to explode.

"No, no, you're wrong!"

Zhang Qing frowned and shook her head repeatedly.

"Jin Qiong Hua and Qing Yun Cao are mutually antagonistic in properties, I naturally know this, but there's another herb in the formula, Bai He Cao, which happens to be able to harmonize these two."

This prescription has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, and countless people have successfully refined it, which shows that there is nothing wrong with it. My problem wouldn't be here.

After his failure, he had spent many days thinking about it, and the entire alchemy process was deeply ingrained in his mind.

"Ye Bufan smiled faintly: "The prescription itself is fine. The problem lies with you."of yours is already pale, but the key is that it's straight, and being straight isn't enough, it's also so long! These two long legs are truly flawless, with no flaws to be seen.He strained to look aw...
