Seeing Lin Yifan, who is at the Divine Transformation Third Realm Early Stage, come here, these high-realm senior brothers and sisters cast curious glances, wondering what Lin Yifan is up to.

Could this brat also refine high-grade elixirs?

"If his strength is so formidable and his alchemy skills are equally high, how are we supposed to live?"

"If he wins the alchemy competition this time, the throne of the senior brother, the Young Valley Master, will be under great threat."

"Let's hope he's not a dual-talented genius; otherwise, it would be too terrifying."

...

Many people were in a panic, seeing Lin Yifan, as if they'd seen a ghost.

Upon seeing a familiar face arrive, Du Yuze, who was picking medicinal herbs, felt a bit surprised.

"Is Lin Yifan also picking herbs in this area? Could he also refine high-grade elixirs?"

Thinking of this, he became more determined to stick by Lin Yifan's side.

"Lin Yifan! Lin Yifan! Long time no see, long time no see!"

Suddenly hearing someone call him, Lin Yifan curiously turned his head and looked into the distance, only to find the most annoying person in the valley, and couldn't help but curse: "Damn! It's this annoying guy again!"

The next moment, he turned around and left, not wanting to see Du Yuze, that brainless guy.

"Hey! Lin Yifan, don't go! We're all here to pick herbs, let's talk it out, everything is negotiable."

Du Yuze chased after him, afraid to miss this rare chance encounter.

He hadn't seen Lin Yifan for more than ten days and missed him dearly.

"Can you get lost? I get annoyed just seeing you!"

Lin Yifan couldn't help but scold, having to speed up to leave the place.

However, he was still caught up by Du Yuze, who was at the Divine Transformation Fifth Realm Peak.

Du Yuze grabbed his shoulder and explained earnestly: "Junior brother, junior brother! It was all a misunderstanding before, don't blame me. From now on, I won't pester you anymore."

"Can you guarantee that?"

"I swear on my head!" Du Yuze replied resolutely.

Since being warned by the Valley Master, Du Yuze suddenly realized an important lesson; forcing things won't make them sweet and could have the opposite effect.

He couldn't force Lin Yifan, compel him to do things he didn't want to do; so, he could only let nature take its course or follow Lin Yifan around, regardless of whether Lin Yifan wanted to compete for Young Valley Master or become a powerful person.

"So why are you looking for me? I don't think we have any ties, do we?" Lin Yifan asked curiously.

"How can we have no ties? We're all participating in the alchemy conference, from that moment, we are competitors." Du Yuze replied.

"So, are you here to beat me up? To keep me from joining the alchemy conference?"

"I wouldn't dare do such violating things; if Junior Sister Xiaofang complains about me, I wouldn't be able to stay in the Medicinal Saint Valley." Du Yuze hurriedly explained.

He held Junior Sister Xiaofang in awe, having already witnessed her prowess.

"Then why did you call me?" Lin Yifan questioned.

"Nothing much, just wanted to pick herbs with my junior brother, and have a chat, that's all!"

"Get lost! I'm off to flirt with your Junior Sister Xiaofang now, no time to bother with you."

Lin Yifan mercilessly issued an eviction order, but his impression of Du Yuze had indeed improved; perhaps the other really realized his previous behavior was wrong.

"Lin Yifan, I don't mind being a third wheel."

Du Yuze persisted, wanting to mend relations with Lin Yifan.

However, Lin Yifan didn't accept: "You may not mind, but I do, get lost! If you don't leave, I'll report you for stealing competitors' alchemy information."

"Alright, alright! I'll leave right now, I'm leaving!"

Du Yuze was truly scared and left immediately.

Watching Du Yuze's forlorn figure, Xiaofang couldn't help but feel sympathy: "Yifan, Senior Brother Du meant no harm, why did you drive him away?"

"Who knows what trick he has up his sleeve, better keep a distance!" Lin Yifan replied.

Xiaofang also found it reasonable, Senior Brother Du's actions were indeed unusual, and anyone would feel the same.

Shortly after, Zhu Kang also arrived here.

Seeing Lin Yifan picking medicinal herbs, he was very surprised; could it be that he too was going to refine a high-grade elixir?

"He's only at the Divine Transformation Third Realm Early Stage, even if he recently advanced, it's at most Divine Transformation Third Realm Middle Stage; and he's been so focused on improving his realm, where would he find the time to study alchemy?"

He was very puzzled, increasingly unable to understand Lin Yifan.

Ever since Lin Yifan gained fame from battling him, everyone mocked him and despised him; especially those siding with the second senior brother, the ridicule was even stronger; and those he once mocked, wronged, now even more aggressively spread word of his incompetence.

He was powerless to refute, also realizing the meaning of the saying "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west."

Having failed to defeat Lin Yifan, he admitted defeat; now, over a month later, he no longer felt confident in defeating Lin Yifan.

Because while he was stagnant, the other might have already made leaps and bounds.

Many high-realm senior brothers and junior brothers were around Zhu Kang, his seniority did not mean his strength was exceptional.

It might simply be that he joined a few days, or a few months earlier than other junior brothers and sisters, not particularly strong, everything depended on individual talent.

Beside him, the Fifth Senior Brother, Hu Jun, glanced at Lin Yifan and inquired: "Is that the genius youngster who fought you evenly by surpassing his rank?"

That day, he was out on a task, and did not witness the incredibly thrilling match; all the news came afterward from his junior brothers and Zhu Kang.

He was also aligned with the senior brother, fully supporting him; and this alchemy conference, his biggest opponent was the Fourth Senior Brother Du Yuze.

However, Du Yuze had been involved in continuous scandals recently; he felt it's ludicrous after hearing them.

For such a high-seniority senior brother to kneel down and cling to the legs of a newly admitted junior brother, begging, was utterly disgraceful.

Du Yuze also happened to be here, as an old opponent, he wanted to shame him thoroughly.

"Yes, Fifth Senior Brother, it's him!" Zhu Kang responded.

"Why is he here? Does he also want the Ascension Pill?" Hu Jun wondered, asking his junior fellows.

No one knew Lin Yifan's alchemy level, but entering this area, most people came to refine high-grade pills, so Lin Yifan being here indicates his desire to refine high-grade pills as well, thereby outshining everyone, and obtaining the Ascension Pill.

The chance to enter the Scripture Pavilion wasn't valued by many; though the pavilion housed numerous ancient secret manuals, many symbols and words were unrecognizable to them, thus they were unable to understand those ancient secrets; hence in the alchemy conference, most disciples aimed for the Ascension Pill.
