After Ah Bao left, Yuan Fei and Qin Yu also started concocting pills seven hours later. However, Yuan Fei was ten minutes slower than Qin Yu. With the appearance of a Grade Four Alchemist, many great powers were optimistic about these two.

After this competition, rest for two days. After two days, the general assembly will choose the top ten and fight for the top three. The rewards for these top three will be very attractive.

The adult competition was more intense than the junior division. It lasted until the early hours of the next morning before it ended. Without a doubt, Qin Qian and Qin Shang had entered the top ten.

On the second day after the competition ended, the Alchemist Association gathered many of the veteran alchemist of the Southern Fire Empire and specially arranged for Ah'Bao to refine a Dragon's Dagger Pill. On the second day after the competition ended, the Alchemist Association gathered many of the veteran alchemist of the Southern Fire Empire and specially arranged for the Dragon's Dagger Pill made by Ah'Bao.

Looking at the dozen or so alchemists in front of him, Qin Yang's face was solemn as he said, "This is the Dragon Beard Pill. Everyone here is a veteran alchemist of the Southern Fire Empire, we have invited everyone here to see if this pill really is the Dragon Beard Pill that was lost thousands of years ago." The old man had a head full of white hair, a stooped back, and a face full of age. However, his eyes glimmered with spirit as he said powerfully: "This pill contains a great deal of the Dragon Tooth Fruit's power, moreover, it is the pill with the greatest energy in all the Grade 3 pills that I have seen. I am not sure if this pill is a Dragon Tooth Pill."

This old man's words no one dared to refute, because the alchemist robe on his chest obviously had eight Aurous Cores and eight tier alchemist, and the Southern Fire Empire's eighth tier alchemist definitely did not hold more than two slaps. Including Qin Yang, there were six people in this room, and among the ten over people, the lowest was a seventh tier alchemist.

If it really was a Dragon Gore Pill, then the Alchemist Association would spare no effort to acquire the pill formula in Ah'Bao's hands. For alchemists, a Dragon Gou Pill is just a pill formula, but for cultivators in the mortal world, it is a good thing to increase the strength of low-level cultivators, and for cultivators in the mortal world, the majority of it is stuck in the Aurous Core stage. Even if one obtains the Dragon Ginseng Fruit, the chances of breaking through are only 40%.

After confirming with the alchemists, they finally decided to find a peak level Aurous Core stage cultivator to try out the effects of this pill. On the third day, this peak level cultivator really did break through, and according to his story, this pill could indeed increase the efficiency of the breakthrough.

On the third day, when the first ten slots were announced, Jin Lan and Jin Qiang arrived at the Nanhuo Square in the early morning to check out the first ten slots.

Amongst the crowded crowd, Jin Lan cried out in alarm. She pointed at Ah'Bao's name, "Ah! Big Brother, the Young Master's name is in the top ten! Look!"

Jin Lan's exclamation immediately attracted the surrounding cultivators' attention.

"Hmph, two insignificant Invigorated Meridian Realm martial artists, what are you shouting so much for?"

It seemed that some cultivators were dissatisfied with Jin Lan's attitude and shouted.

Jin Qiang hastily pulled at Jin Lan and said, "Little sister, stop causing trouble for the young master. Let's go."

Jin Lan nodded and followed Jin Qiang out of the crowd, but was stopped by a man. This man wasn't tall, only 1.6 meters tall, with thick arms, a sturdy body, thick eyebrows, and round eyes. He carried a huge sword on his back, and stood there like an unshakable mountain.

Jin Qiang's expression changed slightly as he asked, "What are you trying to do?" Why did you stop us? "

The man looked to be in his thirties, his voice coarse and full of charisma. He looked at Jin Lan with a demented gaze, and only then did Jin Qiang come back to his senses. "Is your Young Master Liu Yibao?"

Jin Lan snorted, annoyed by the man's gaze. "That's right, Liu Yibao is our Young Lord. What do you want?"

Suddenly, the man laughed and said, "Haha, this is great. I've been observing this Pill Assembly for a long time and I want to follow Liu Yibao. My name is Ma Chun, would you mind introducing me?"

"Ma Chun? Alright, I'll help you introduce him, but it's hard to say whether the young master will agree to having you or not, let's go. "

Ma Chun was an orphan, abandoned at birth by his parents. He was adopted by a rogue cultivator when he was in his teens, but the rogue cultivator died when Ma Chun was at the age of ten, and the rogue cultivator gave Ma Chun a large amount of spirit stones. Ma Chun was a peak Jindan Stage Cultivator at the age of twenty, considered a genius in the mortal world, but in the past ten years, Ma Chun had failed three times.

Now that Ma Chun had reached the peak of the Aurous Core stage, he didn't dare to break through again. Having experienced three failures, he felt a sense of dread in his heart. When Ah'Bao was refining the pill, Ma Chun recognized him at a glance.

In the morning, Ah'Bao ate some breakfast and went back to his room to meditate. Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door and knew that Jin Qiang and the rest had returned.

"Come in."

Jin Qiang pushed the door open and entered, saying, "Young master, we're back. You've entered the top ten, and there's one more thing. We met this person on the road and said that we want to rely on you."

"Surrender to me?" Ah'Bao looked at Ma Chun and lightly said, "Peak of the Aurous Core stage, such a dense aura." Ah'Bao moved his spirit power. He could sense a dense aura from Ma Chun's body. Even when Ah'Bao was at the peak of the Aurous Core stage, he didn't have such vigorous Zhen Qi.

Although he was just an ordinary Jindan Stage cultivator, his fighting style was extremely rough, and he couldn't use any spells. The huge sword behind his back was his weapon, and this was a huge sword that Ma Chun had specially forged for him. Even though it was only a mid-grade magic tool, it was extremely hard, and even an average high-grade magic tool wouldn't be as hard as this. If it wasn't hard enough, how could it withstand Ma Chun's divine strength? After all, even a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator wouldn't be able to withstand three of Ma Chun's sword strikes once Ma Chun got close.

"Haha, you must be Ah'Bao. Would you be willing to accept me? I, Ma Chun, am willing to follow you with my life on the line. But I have a condition. I want a Dragon Whiskered Pellet."
