“It's the chief elder!”
After Elder Two responded, amidst the attention of the crowd, he waved his right arm's sleeve, and immediately, twelve dark elixirs flew out of the Dan Ding in front of him, hovering in the air.
Looking at these twelve elixirs, Lu Yi's expression was calm, but the other elders all changed their faces drastically!
"Our elder is amazing! He has refined a High-Quality Respect Grade Elixir, making him the first among our elders to succeed, aside from Elder Four!"
"Indeed! Our elder truly lives up to being the Elder Two of our Immortal Sect Danmai!"
"…"
On the high platform of the dojo, Elder Two: Han Yun, heard the adoration from his disciples and stroked his beard with a smile. In his view, as long as Lu Yi did not refine a Supreme Respect Elixir, he would take the lead!
He prayed in his heart that Lu Yi wouldn't refine a Supreme Respect Elixir; otherwise, he would lose out on the Supreme Spirit Mine!
Afterward, Tang Xinying began to verify Elder Six's elixirs, and the result was that the Divine Soul Pill he refined was only of Middle Grade.
Then, the results from Elder Eight, Elder Ten, Elder Twenty, and Elder Thirty were all Middle Grade Divine Soul Pills.
When verifying Elder Sixteen, however, he had refined a High-Quality Divine Soul Pill!
In the moments that followed, aside from Lu Yi, all the other elders completed their verifications.
A total of twenty-five elders refined High-Quality Divine Soul Pills, while the other twelve elders all refined Middle Grade Divine Soul Pills!
Among the twenty-five elders, the sequence of those who first refined High-Quality Divine Soul Pills were Elder Two Han Yun; Elder Sixteen Wei Yue; and Elder Twelve Lu Zhiqian.
At this moment, the three great elders all hoped that Lu Yi would fail in refining the elixirs or that the elixir he produced would be a Middle Grade Respect Elixir. If that were the case, all three of them could still share in the Spirit Mine!
Especially Elder Twelve, who thought that if Lu Yi refined a High-Quality or even a Supreme Respect Elixir, then the Inferior Spirit Mine that was within his grasp would be lost!
While the three were lost in their thoughts, the gaze of over fifty thousand people in the venue fell entirely on Tan Yun and Lu Yi!
Everyone had waited outside the Temporal and Spatial Star Moon Scroll for a whole month, and now the main event was about to begin!
At that moment, in the sky, the chief elder of the Holy Gate Danmai, Gongsun Yangchun, stood in mid-air amidst the Sea of Clouds, using his spiritual sense to observe Tan Yun and Lu Yi on the high platform of the dojo.
Half a month ago, Han Yong had gone to the Holy Gate Danmai and informed Gongsun Yangchun about the gamble between Lu Yi and Tan Yun!
"Hmph, a mere disciple of the Immortal Sect dares to disrespect my disciple! Truly unaware of the meaning of the word 'death!'" Gongsun Yangchun snorted.
However, what Gongsun Yangchun did not know was that Dantai Xuanzhong was looking down at him with a cold smile from a million zhang high above!
Six hours earlier, Dantai Xuanzhong had arrived above the Temporal and Spatial Dao Field and learned about the bet between his future son-in-law and Lu Yi from the discussions of those in the dojo!
"Gongsun Yangchun, if I determine that you are a spy infiltrating our sect, I will have all your clan members accompany you to the grave!" Dantai Xuanzhong thought scornfully, "Even if Tan Yun loses to Lu Yi today, I still want to see who dares to lay a finger on Tan Yun!"
At this moment, Dantai Xuanzhong was indeed in the Sea of Clouds a million zhang above Gongsun Yangchun, but Gongsun Yangchun was completely unaware, which was enough to show that Dantai Xuanzhong's strength was far above that of Gongsun Yangchun...
On the high platform of the dojo.
Tang Xinying looked at Tan Yun and sighed inwardly before announcing, "Now, I declare that the alchemical arts grand competition between Tan Yun and Elder Four will begin with Elder Four, who finishes refining first, starting the verification."
