Chapter 3331: Can't Afford to Lose

exclaimed, "It's impossible, the Archbishop's death has nothing to do with Brother Ye."Adams said sternly, "Stand down. You have no part in this."Helena immediately pouted in displeasure, about to sa...As the chief alchemist of the Eastern Hua Celestial Star Picking Tower, Gu Fan Jiu held a lofty position. Even at this moment, he sat there calmly, reaching out to grasp the jade bottle in his palm.

Opening the cork and gently tapping the bottom of the bottle, six pills jumped out and floated in mid-air.

Upon seeing these few pills, Jiang Ran's expression shifted slightly.

He doesn't understand the art of alchemy, but he does know something about alchemists.

Generally speaking, three alchemical pills are considered passable, while six is already a high level for an alchemist.

As for producing six or more pills, that would definitely be the realm of a top-tier celestial alchemist. As for producing nine pills from a single furnace, that's something only spoken about in legends.

He had never seen anything like it in all his years.

And before their eyes, Ge Shengwen refined this furnace of pills. Not only did he produce six pills in one go, but there was also one high-grade pill, two mid-grade pills, and three low-grade pills.

Six out of the dan pills were produced, with one being a top-grade pill. This is definitely an extremely proud achievement.

For this very reason, he looked at Ge Shengwen with admiration and approval in his eyes. This talent for alchemy was truly unmatched by anyone.

In contrast, Jiang Yingyue appeared visibly nervous.

Ye Bufan's previous furnace of pills was also this grade, but alchemy sometimes relies on luck, and not every time can you refine a high-quality pill.

Gu Fan Jiu nodded lightly: "Not bad!"

He held a lofty position in the alchemy world. To be praised as "not bad" was already an extremely high compliment.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Ge Shengwen became even more pleased. His eyes fell on Ye Bufan.

"Do you really need to trouble Elder Gu with this pill I say, just forget it"

Confessing defeat directly, cleanly and swiftly can save you a shred of face, after all, no one knows what exactly you've been concocting.

It was clear to everyone that his words were nothing but sarcasm laced with extreme smugness.

However, there's no way around it, they just have that kind of power.

Ye Bufan, however, revealed a playful smile: "I've already won, why should I admit defeat"

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and the jade bottle in his grasp flew towards Gu Fanjiu.

"Take that as a humiliation!"

Ge Shengwen glanced dismissively. He didn't believe a word Ye Bufan said. Over the years, no one his age had surpassed him in the path of alchemy.

Let alone the fact that the other party is only twenty-three years old, even if they had been learning alchemy from birth, how high could their attainment be

Ge Xiongtú also shared this sentiment. In his eyes, this young man was truly "a weeping only when seeing the coffin."

Once the appraisal results are released, let's see where he puts his face!

Jiang Ran shook her head slightly, in his eyes, Ye Bufan was also clueless.

Gu Fanjiu, as the notary, didn't say much. He reached out and grabbed a jade bottle in his hand. He opened the stopper, glanced inside first, then his expression became strange.

Ge Xiongtu burst into laughter: "Lao Gu, what's wrong Did this guy make everything out of stone"

In his view, Gu Fanjiu's reaction must be because the pill Ye Bufan refined was too awful.

Otherwise, as the chief alchemists of Zixing Building, no elixir could shock him.

Jiang Yingyue asked nervously, “Grandpa Gu, what’s wrong”

"That's interesting."

Gu Fanjiu slightly shook his head, a strange smile appearing on his face creased with wrinkles.

His gaze swept over the faces of the crowd, finally settling on Ge Shengwen's.

"Nephew, you lost this round!"

"Haha, I knew it! When it comes to alchemy, he's no match for me..."

Ge Shengwen burst into laughter, but halfway through, his expression suddenly froze and he stopped abruptly.

"Grandfather, what are you saying You couldn't be wrong, could you There's no way I could lose!"

His mind was full of the scene after his victory, he had never thought about losing, and even now he didn't.

In his view, Gu Fan Jiu must be senile, having said the result of his victory the wrong way around.

"Ge Xiongtu was also stunned: 'Big brother, what do you mean Are you kidding me'"

Gu Fanjiu sighed, didn't say much more, raised his hand and tapped the bottom of the bottle, six pills flew out, arranged in a line before everyone.

"Uh..."

When they saw the color of these six pills, the expressions of the others changed. At this moment, they finally understood why Gu Fanjiu's expression had become strange just now.

Only six pills were visible: the first was high grade, the second, third, and fourth were mid-grade, and the fifth and sixth were low grade.

That means Ye Bufan won this round, with only a difference of one mid-grade pill.

"Isn't that a bit too coincidental"

This was the unspoken thought of everyone present: Ye Bufan's victory was completely beyond everyone's expectations, and the gap was simply too ridiculous.

Ge Shengwen couldn't believe what he was seeing. He rubbed his eyes constantly, but even when they were almost sore, the scene before him didn't change at all.

"It's impossible, it just can't be!"

He screamed hysterically, his heart filled with bitterness and disbelief.

I am, without a doubt, the most outstanding Dan Dao prodigy. How could I possibly lose And even less so to this mere twenty-three year old before me.

Gu Fanjiu shook his head slightly, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.

He used to have a high opinion of Ge Shengwen, but now it seems he was mistaken. This young man is much worse than he expected.

Jiang Ran's expression shifted, finally curling a faint smile at the corner of her lips.

He valued alchemists the most, and because of this, he excluded Ye Bufan from his heart.

Now it seems like my daughter's judgment isn't bad either. Even if this young man wins, it wouldn't be unacceptable.

Jiang Yingyue finally put her heart back into her stomach, a bright smile blooming on her face. This young man had ultimately not disappointed her.

Ge Xiongtu's face darkened to the extreme, obviously not expecting his son to lose.

He sighed, just about to persuade, when Ge Shengwen suddenly roared.

I don't accept this, he just got lucky! I want to have another round!

After he said that, the others all frowned slightly. Losing and having to compete again clearly showed that he couldn't accept defeat.

But no matter what, Ge Xiongtú is going to stand by his son's side.

“I agree. After all, alchemy involves luck. It's too much to decide the winner with a single match. We should have another competition.”

"Very well, old man, I have no objection. Let us make another public attestation."

The glow in Gu Fan's nine eyes flickered, his interest piqued by the recent bout.

The number of pills refined was the same, and ultimately, it came down to a single mid-grade pill winning by a very small margin.

If the young man before me is a coincidence, that's nothing. If everything is under his control, then his alchemy skills are truly terrifying. Even I couldn't achieve this.

Although I don't believe this is intentional, I want to see one more round.

Jiang Ran nodded slightly, her gaze falling on Ye Bufan: "Young master, what do you think Would you like to have another match"utside the thunderball.He just rushed forward when he was struck by a jolt of electricity, leaving him dazed and confused. Then a powerful force pulled him in instantly, trapping him inside the magic...
