Forced to become a pure and innocent female pharmacist in order to cultivate immortality.

The fact that she vomited blood meant she had lost.

However, Yang Chan did not completely collapse. After being injured, she struggled to stand up with the help of the barrier.

"What kind of pill is this? The combined suction and repulsion can actually cause such great damage to my body?" Yang Chan looked at Ye Liuyun, who was in a punching stance in the distance, with disbelief.

Ye Liuyun has developed too many pills over the years, many of which she herself has never used. Mainly because she is now too powerful and has no need for these pills at all.

Think about it, if she could defeat an enemy with a single punch, would she need to waste her elixirs? Obviously not.

"Miss Yang, shall we continue the competition?" Ye Liuyun asked.

Yang Chan looked solemn. After hesitating for a moment, she shook her head at Ye Liuyun.

“According to the rules of our alchemy competition, once you are injured, you lose. You have won. I hope you will have the opportunity to exchange alchemy insights with Elder Ye.” Yang Chan then conceded defeat.

After admitting defeat, Yang Chan flew up and returned to the platform where the Immortal Spirit Sect was located, where she began to meditate and heal her injuries.

"I didn't expect even you to lose. Elder Ye is no ordinary person," exclaimed a Nascent Soul disciple of the Immortal Spirit Sect.

And so, Ye Liuyun won another match, and the crowd outside erupted in cheers once again.

"Elder Ye is too amazing! Just how skilled is he in alchemy? It feels like Ye Liuyun is an all-around alchemist when it comes to alchemy."

"Yes, he can do everything. I really want to see what else Elder Ye can do."

Ye Liuyun's successive victories filled the high-ranking members of the Supreme Response Sect with approving expressions, as this had brought honor to their sect.

To be honest, many of them had actually seen this kind of fighting style before, but perhaps because a long time had passed and Ye Liuyun had kept it a secret all along, they hadn't made the connection at the time.

Ye Liuyun has won three consecutive matches, but she has no intention of stopping yet.

"Gentlemen, is there anyone else willing to come up and offer their advice? We still have many more ways to spar," Ye Liuyun said with a smile.

If Ye Liuyun issues a challenge, then someone has to accept it, otherwise wouldn't that be admitting that Ye Liuyun is the strongest person in this alchemy competition?

This time, the Nine Heavens Holy Land couldn't sit still any longer. A peak Divine Soul Realm alchemist from the Nine Heavens Holy Land descended from the sky and landed in front of Ye Liuyun.

"Fu Yunshi from the Nine Heavens Holy Land, a top-grade purple-level alchemist, wants to compete with Elder Ye in alchemy talent." The moment this disciple from the Nine Heavens Holy Land spoke, everyone was taken aback.

What does this competition of alchemy talent mean? It's actually a competition of creativity. Alchemists who reach the purple level are capable of creating pills based on the medicinal properties of different herbs.

However, the success rate is not high, and the fact that this woman has such courage means that she has the confidence to create a new type of elixir in public.

However, Ye Liuyun looked confused because she didn't quite understand what this competition of alchemy talent specifically entailed, so she asked in surprise.

"Miss Fu from the Nine Heavens Holy Land, if I may be so bold as to ask, how should we compare talents in alchemy?" Ye Liuyun asked humbly.

Ye Liuyun's words shocked the surrounding alchemists. Every orthodox alchemist knew what alchemy talent was all about, so why didn't Ye Liuyun know?

Fu Yunshi was also taken aback by Ye Liuyun's question. She didn't know if Ye Liuyun really didn't know or was pretending not to know, but she still gave an explanation.

"Comparing alchemy talent is comparing pill-making creativity. In other words, I want to compete with Elder Ye in creating pills," Fu Yunshi patiently explained.

To be honest, if Ye Liuyun hadn't publicly refined a blue-grade pill with a pill pattern, Fu Yunshi probably wouldn't have even given him a second glance, let alone challenge him.

"Oh, I see. You mean you want to compete with me in creating a new type of pill in public? Then let me ask you another question: what if neither of us creates a new pill?" Ye Liuyun suppressed a laugh and asked back after hearing this.

That's what she said on the surface, but what she really wanted to say was, "Compare me to creating pills? Are you kidding me? With my current abilities, I can create my own pill system and be the founder myself. You want to compare with me?"

But to be honest, Ye Liuyun is not an ordinary person, he can't even be considered human.

Fu Yunshi's competition with Ye Liuyun in alchemy is tantamount to challenging the number two figure in the alchemy world, the God of Medicine.

Because Lin Qingyou is the God of Medicine, and Ye Liuyun's alchemy skills were personally taught by Lin Qingyou, isn't it too much to ask a younger generation to challenge someone who has reached the pinnacle of the Dao of Medicine?

Lin Qingyou's alchemy skills are too strong. Her alchemy skills are completely different from those of this world. If it were just ordinary alchemy, how could she have such exaggerated creativity?

Ye Liuyun's pill synthesis was actually a special effect of Lin Qingyou's alchemy technique, while the ability of the Myriad Medicines Immortal Cauldron gave the pills so many special abilities and extraordinary phenomena.

In other words, even without the Myriad Medicines Cauldron, Lin Qingyou's alchemy skills alone could be used to synthesize pills, but it would certainly be impossible to refine so many astonishing things.

“If neither of us creates it, then it’s a tie. Is there any need to ask?” Fu Yunshi replied with a frown.

Alright, now that you've asked this much, Ye Liuyun doesn't need to ask any more questions.

The reason Ye Liuyun asked so many questions was that although she was an alchemist, she was not a proper alchemist.

You should call her a pill synthesizer, because most of the pills she uses and refines are synthesized, not refined.

The only pill that can truly be considered a refined pill seems to be the Exploding Spirit Pill, which is a mutated pill made entirely from the formula of the Gathering Spirit Pill.

"Alright, I accept your challenge." After understanding the situation, Ye Liuyun agreed immediately.

Fu Yunshi felt disdainful at Ye Liuyun's direct acceptance.

"Tch! How arrogant! You don't think creating pills is about as difficult as the previous competitions, do you? I admit your alchemy skills are superb, but for a mere blue-level alchemist like you to create new types of pills, you'd have to be blessed by the Celestial Venerable of Immortality or the God of Medicine." Fu Yunshi thought to herself.

Honestly, she originally thought Ye Liuyun would admit defeat or refuse outright, but she didn't expect Ye Liuyun to actually agree.

Fu Yunshi's identity is no simple matter. She is the personal disciple of Bai Ling, a master alchemist from the Nine Heavens Holy Land. Bai Ling is a genuine top-grade Yellow-level alchemist.

She is also the highest-ranking alchemist in the Nine Heavens Domain. Her disciple, Fu Yunshi, is not even a thousand years old, yet her cultivation has already reached the peak of the Divine Soul Realm.

A peak Divine Soul Realm cultivator who is less than a thousand years old and a top-grade Purple Alchemist—this talent far surpasses that of ordinary disciples in the Mystic Realm.

“In that case, let’s begin. With so many senior figures in the world of alchemy present, we don’t need to worry about either side playing dirty tricks. Each of us will have three chances. If we both create new pills, we can have the senior figures present assign us a level based on the effects,” Fu Yunshi said.

Ye Liuyun naturally had no objections.

“Okay, no problem.” Ye Liuyun agreed with Fu Yunshi’s idea.

So the two of them took out their respective alchemy tools.

Fu Yunshi took out a soft cushion and sat down gracefully. At the same time, she waved her hand, and a beautifully crafted medicine furnace, white and smooth as jade, appeared in front of her. This medicine furnace was no ordinary one; it emitted a rich, precious light. It was actually a top-grade earth-rank magic weapon.

This shows that Fu Yunshi received extraordinary treatment in the Nine Heavens Holy Land.

"Tsk tsk! A top-grade Earth-rank alchemy furnace, what a grand gesture! No wonder he's a disciple of the Hundred Spirit Medicine Fairy of the Nine Heavens Holy Land." Many alchemists praised it.

Ye Liuyun didn't know Fu Yunshi later, but any slightly orthodox alchemist would definitely have heard of Fu Yunshi's name.

"Fu Yunshi, oh dear! I hope Junior Brother Ye can create another miracle." Tai Rong and the others said with some worry.

There was no way around it because what Ye Liuyun didn't know was that Fu Yunshi had genuine experience in creating elixirs.

The cultivation world not only holds cultivator battle events, but also various secondary profession competitions.

There is an Alchemist Alliance in the Nine Heavens Domain. The headquarters of this alliance is located in the Nine Heavens Holy Land. Previously, all the pill grading and certification in the Nine Heavens Domain, as well as the alchemist certification, were carried out in the Nine Heavens Holy Land.

Later, the authority was gradually delegated to major powers in various regions, but these powers still had to report to the Alchemist Alliance. The current leader of the Alchemist Alliance is Fairy Bailing, or Fairy Bailing for short.

Tai Rong and the other Yellow-level alchemists are all elders and important figures in the Alchemist Alliance.

Fu Yunshi won first place in the Alchemist Conference three hundred years ago, so Fu Yunshi can be said to be the pinnacle of the current generation of young alchemists, and no one can surpass her.

Ye Liuyun looked smug as Fu Yunshi took out her top-grade Earth-rank alchemy furnace.

She couldn't help but mutter a complaint to herself.

"What's there to be proud of? Our alchemy furnace is a celestial artifact, and I'm not proud of it. What are you proud of? If you're so capable, bring out a celestial-grade alchemy furnace to show off."

Ye Liuyun said this, but in reality she was a little envious and jealous, because Fu Yunshi's alchemy furnace was really beautiful. Ye Liuyun decided that she would find time to get a high-end alchemy furnace to play with as well.

The main problem is that although his Myriad Medicines Cauldron is excellent, it's not suitable for frequent use. Moreover, it looks dull and lacks energy fluctuations, giving the impression of being an old bronze artifact that has been used for a long time, making it a bit too understated.

Fu Yunshi didn't stop there. Just as Ye Liuyun was about to think about what kind of pill to synthesize, there was another exclamation from the audience.

The exclamation was so sudden that Ye Liuyun couldn't help but look towards where Fu Yunshi was.

A golden-red flame emanated from Fu Yunshi's hand. The flame was beautiful, and the whole thing looked like a pretty tulip.

"Good heavens, this little girl is no ordinary person. She actually possesses a different kind of fire!" Lin Qingyou rarely praised her.

Upon hearing the words "different fire," Ye Liuyun was taken aback, as Lin Qingyou had told her about the preciousness of different fires.

"It's here! It's here! It's Fu Yunshi's strange flame, the Tulip Divine Flame!" Tai Rong and the others said excitedly.

Rumor has it that Fu Yunshi obtained this thing by accident. It was because she possessed a strange fire that she caught the eye of Fairy Bailing. However, outsiders do not know exactly how she got it. Some people say that Fairy Bailing got it for Fu Yunshi.

However, none of that matters. What matters is that Fu Yunshi was able to coexist with the strange fire, which shows that this woman indeed has the right to be arrogant.

"This woman is impressive. It seems she's not as arrogant as she appears; she truly has the right to be arrogant." After seeing Fu Yunshi's strange fire, Ye Liuyun abandoned his contempt.

If she hadn't met Lin Qingyou, she probably wouldn't even have had the right to stand next to Fu Yunshi.

Of course, luck and opportunity are part of one's ability.

After a moment of thought, Ye Liuyun's true essence flame was suddenly replaced by a flame that shone like jade.

Ye Liuyun could no longer tolerate it, and she directly revealed her strange fire.

She had been hiding for so many years and didn't want to hide anymore. Most importantly, she felt that Fu Yunshi was deliberately showing off her background to undermine her.

"What? What kind of flame is this?" The moment Ye Liuyun's Myriad Medicines Immortal Flame appeared, the alchemists who were originally paying attention to Fu Yunshi all turned their attention to Ye Liuyun's hand.

Not only them, but the moment Ye Liuyun's Myriad Medicines Immortal Fire appeared, Fu Yunshi's Tulip Divine Flame inexplicably trembled.

The strange fire has a spirit, and Fu Yunshi quickly looked in Ye Liuyun's direction. Upon seeing it, her eyes narrowed involuntarily.

"A strange fire?" Fu Yunshi could tell at a glance that the flame in Ye Liuyun's hand was also a strange fire.

Powerful flames are interconnected, and the message her strange fire gave her was that a flame of a higher grade than his had appeared on the field.

Fu Yunshi was at a loss for words to describe her feelings. She never expected that in this era, in this Nine Heavens Domain, there would be a younger generation of alchemists who possessed a different kind of fire just like her, and that their fire might even be of a higher grade than hers.

Strange flames are rare and wondrous things in the world. Unless you reveal the name of your strange flame, outsiders will not know what kind of flame it is.

Fu Yunshi's strange fire was displayed at the alchemist conference three hundred years ago, so they knew what kind of flame it was. Ye Liuyun used the Myriad Medicine Immortal Fire very few times, only once when he was in the Cloud Sect. This was the first time he had ever used it openly and legitimately for alchemy.

"What kind of flame is this? I can't even tell. It's definitely not a demonic flame or a pill flame. It can only be a strange flame. How many secrets does Elder Ye still have?" The big shots who had reached the Yellow-level alchemist level were all stunned, including Tai Rong.

As for Ancestor Tianyi and the others, their reaction was one of pure joy; Ye Liuyun had given them far too many surprises.

"Good lad, he even has a different kind of fire. Just how many secrets does he have? No wonder Xuanmiao is so devoted to him. Now I understand." Ancestor Tianyi and the others said with a wry smile.

However, they felt only joy, not worry, because Ye Liuyun's identity meant he would not become an enemy of their Taishang Ganying Sect.

Therefore, the more outstanding Ye Liuyun was, the more satisfied they were.

Ye Liuyun is already a true monster; they now even doubt that Ye Liuyun is actually a top-grade blue-level alchemist.

"Yan'er, tell me, was Junior Brother Ye really just a top-grade Blue-level alchemist back then? Are you sure he wasn't hiding his true rank?" Tai Rong couldn't help but ask Nalan Yan.

She knew that Nalan Yan had personally arranged for Ye Liuyun to become an apprentice, and given the similarity between Nalan Yan and Ye Liuyun's alchemy skills, she had ample reason to suspect that Nalan Yan had helped Ye Liuyun conceal some things.

Otherwise, Ye Liuyun's behavior would not be believable for a top-tier blue-level alchemist.

As for Nalan Yan, she was equally dumbfounded when she heard her master say that the flame in Ye Liuyun's hand was a strange flame, because she had seen Ye Liuyun's flame before, but she had not recognized it back then.

After all, she was only a minor Spirit Pattern Realm cultivator at the time, and her understanding was limited. But now, looking at Ye Liuyun's flames, she could tell that Ye Liuyun's flames were extraordinary.

"This? Master, me?" Nalan Yan wanted to say something after hearing her master's question, but she swallowed her words back.

When Tai Rong and Tai Fu saw Nalan Yan's hesitant manner, they knew that Nalan Yan must know something, but was unable to say it for some reason.

They had a bold idea: could Nalan Yan's alchemy skills be from the same lineage as Ye Liuyun's, or could it be that Nalan Yan's alchemy skills were actually taught by Ye Liuyun?

“Forget it, if it’s inconvenient for you to say, we can ask Junior Brother Ye ourselves later. Since he revealed his strange fire in public, it means he definitely doesn’t intend to keep it a secret any longer,” Tai Rong said.

That's true. When Ye Liuyun took out the strange fire, he had already thought about how to deal with Tai Rong and the others.

"Master, I'm sorry." Nalan Yan could only say sorry somewhat embarrassedly, because Ye Liuyun hadn't told her to say it, so even if Ye Liuyun revealed it on his own initiative, she still couldn't say it.

Looking at the two people on the field, they have already begun to try to create new types of pills.

Fu Yunshi was surprised, but the more outstanding Ye Liuyun's performance was, the more it aroused her competitive spirit. What she needed to do now was not to pay attention to Ye Liuyun, but to think about what kind of pill she should create.

She was a little unsure of herself at this moment. Originally, she thought that she could win by creating a new type of white-grade pill, but after witnessing Ye Liuyun's abilities and strange fire, she felt that white-grade pills could not guarantee a victory.

"Fu Yunshi, Fu Yunshi, you've met a formidable opponent today. However, you must believe in yourself and win. May the Celestial Venerable of Immortality bless your disciple Fu Yunshi so that she can break through her own limits." Fu Yunshi encouraged herself in her heart.

Alchemists who are obsessed with making medicine often say this before making a very important choice: "May the Celestial Venerable of Immortality protect us."

This shows that the Celestial Venerable of Longevity held an absolutely unparalleled position in their hearts.

As alchemists, they may disrespect their masters, but they absolutely cannot disrespect the Celestial Venerable of Immortality.

Ye Liuyun had never formally gone through the apprenticeship process for alchemists and was unaware of these things.

If she went to the Ancestral Hall of Medicine Peak, she would find that the highest-ranking person there was the Celestial Venerable of Longevity, followed by the God of Medicine, and then the Founder of Medicine Peak.

After much deliberation, Fu Yunshi made a bold decision: she would attempt to create green-grade pills.

If successful, Fu Yunshi's fame will likely spread to the Gu God Domain, the Myriad Spirits Domain, and the surrounding areas.
