Wei Qi kneeled on the ground, looking at the old man who was sitting cross-legged on a prayer mat three meters away from him, his face full of regret.

Master... Master, blame me for being reckless ?

Wei'er, even though he is just a pill slave, he is still a registered disciple. Moreover, he is my disciple in name.

With that, the old man looked at Wei Qi again. The blaming in his expression gradually faded, and his tone turned gentle as he said, "Disciple, Master will help you settle this matter. Your energy must be placed on that Maki Chen now, so don't embarrass me when we exchange pointers."

Master, I don't have the confidence to defeat him. That fellow's skill in pill refining is extremely profound, and the pills he refines are things that I and I have never seen before.

Wei Qi's words caused the old man to ponder, he wore a white beard and thought for a long time.

Disciple, you don't have to worry, he should be good at refining Jade Cauldron, tomorrow I will let him use normal Pill Cauldron to refine pills, if you are still worried, you can just make some moves amongst the Pill Cauldron.

Master, what if that kid discovers that something is amiss?

No matter how outstanding his talent is, he is still just a brat who just came in contact with alchemy. The Spirit Soul must not be that strong to be able to find out that this old man has done something to the Pill Cauldron.

In the area where the four pavilions of the Mountain Sea Pavilion met, there was a spacious open area, which was paved with green brick. Every year, Sect would be held there, but it was mostly used for the disciples to spar with each other.

In the space, it was split into seven stages. At the center of the stage, Maki Chen was seated cross legged on the ground, his eyes closed as he recuperated the spirit energy in his body.

And outside of the arena, surrounded by many disciples, there were roughly three to four hundred people.

Some people arrived at the pavilion near the open ground because they couldn't see what was happening in the arena. Although they would be unable to see clearly from a distance, it was still better than not being able to see.

In the crowd, a stocky fatty was looking around for something.

Someone at Fatty's side noticed his abnormality and asked, "Junior Brother, what are you looking at?"

I didn't see anything, it's just that why is Wei Qi not here yet, could it be that his attainment in pill refining can't compare to Junior Brother Maki Chen, and does not dare to come?

Although I don't like Wei Qi, but when it comes to refining pills, I am still more optimistic about him. After all, his attainments in pill refining was recognized by many of the elders. Right now, Junior Brother Maki Chen is just a fledgling brat. Even if his talent is good, he would still need time to grow.

As the two of them were discussing, someone walked in. "I feel that Junior Brother Maki Chen is a little stronger, I've bought Junior Brother Maki Chen's pills before, the quality is even better than the pills refined by some elders, I don't believe that Wei Qi has the ability to do so.

Similar discussions were taking place in different corners of the crowd. The entire scene could be said to be extraordinarily lively.

Just then, Wei Qi's figure appeared at the end of the crowd, and beside him stood a short and shriveled looking old man.

When everyone saw the old man, they could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. They all moved to the side, actively opening up a path.

Maki Chen who had been resting with his eyes closed the entire time, acutely sensed a faintly discernable killing intent. He slowly opened his eyes and looked in front of him.

At this time, Wei Qi stood on stage, the resentment in his eyes hard to conceal.

Maki Chen stood up, and said with a smile while looking at Wei Qi: "Senior Brother, I've already been waiting here for a long time!

Finished speaking, Maki Chen did not forget to bow.

Wei Qi knew that Maki Chen's respect was just an act, so he snorted and said with disdain: Maki Chen, stop trying to get close to me.

Just then, the shriveled old man standing below suddenly spoke out. Maki Chen, today, you will compete with my disciple in pill refining. As your senior, let me witness it today.

Immediately, the crowd went into an uproar. The discussions in the crowd started again, but it was much quieter than before. It was obvious that everyone had their own thoughts on this matter.

Sigh, isn't this a spar between disciples? Why is Elder Zhou Quan here?

It was obvious that he was bullying the weak!

Shh, let's not talk about it anymore. Just watch the show.

The discussion of the crowd was very quiet, but Elder Zhou Quan who was standing at the front of the crowd was still able to hear it clearly. However, he acted as if he couldn't hear it as he calmly jumped onto the stage.

Elder Zhou Quan stood between Maki Chen and himself, and said: Silence!

Driven by the dense Origin Energy, the sound quickly covered the entire space. Whether it was the surrounding of the arena or the disciples in the pavilion far away, everyone could hear it clearly.

First of all, in order to be fair, the two of them used Pill Cauldron s to refine pellets using the same Sect.

Secondly, the pills the two concocted had to be uniform. Only then could they accurately assess the quality of the pills they concocted. He was unsure if they had any objections.

After Elder Zhou Quan announced the rules, he deliberately looked towards Maki Chen, waiting for his response.

He had originally thought that Maki Chen would raise an objection because of the unfairness of the rules, but unexpectedly, Maki Chen replied without hesitation.

Elder Zhou Quan nodded in satisfaction, and the corners of his mouth curled into a smile as his sinister plan succeeded.

With a flip of his hands, two half a man tall copper colored cauldrons appeared in front of Maki Chen and Maki Chen respectively.

Maki Chen reached out and placed his hand on top of the Pill Cauldron, immersing the Spirit Soul in it. A moment later, the expression on his face slightly changed, and then looked towards Zhou Quan and Wei Qi.

The Pill Cauldron was in a passive position! Maki Chen did not magnify his voice, but the disciples who were a little closer to the stage could still hear him clearly.

Very quickly, Maki Chen's words spread throughout the crowd. Everyone looked at Elder Zhou Quan with eyes of disbelief.

When Elder Zhou Quan discovered that the matter had been exposed, the expression on his face became increasingly unnatural.

His hands and feet within the Pill Cauldron were extremely secretive. If Maki Chen wanted to discover the problem, the strength of the Spirit Soul must reach a certain level. Furthermore, he must have a deep understanding of the structure of the Pill Cauldron in order to be able to find the problem within the Pill Cauldron.

Could it be ?

Maki Chen's power of the Spirit Soul had already reached the level of a profound practitioner, but he was only fifteen years old. No matter how talented he was, it should be impossible!

Even if the Spirit Soul met the requirements, one would still have to have a thorough understanding of the array patterns inside the Pill Cauldron, that was the domain of a refiner, don't say, that Maki Chen knew how to refine?

Just as he was puzzled, Maki Chen's voice sounded out once again: Looking at the array patterns individually, there isn't any problem, but when I arrange them together, the position of every array pattern is slightly off. If it wasn't for me having a certain understanding of the Pill Cauldron, I'm afraid that today, you're right.

In fact, there was a problem with the arrangement of the array patterns, Pill Cauldron could still be used, but during the process of fusing with the Spiritual Herba's essence, there would be many unstable factors, which would lead to failure in fusing and failure in refining the pill.
