After announcing that Su Bai had refined a Danwen Jueling Pill, Senior Gao intended to invite Su Bai to his place for a chat.
This third round of competition, even if other Alchemists later refined a Danwen Jueling Pill, unless they produced a two-pattern pill, it would be impossible for them to outshine Su Bai.
Moreover, Su Bai's speed in refining Medicinal Pills was too fast.
At this time, other Alchemists had just finished preheating their Pill Furnaces.
They hadn't even had time to refine a few Spirit Medicines.
Su Bai, on the other hand, had already completed her Alchemy.
And it only took her half a day!
"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Su, come this way, let's discuss," Senior Gao said with a chuckle, pointing to his seat, inviting Su Bai to join him.
He didn't even let Su Bai return to the resting area.
At this moment, Senior Gao looked at Su Bai, engaging her in conversation with great interest.
"..."
Xu Changge watched from a distance as Su Bai was pulled away by Senior Gao, a faint smile gracing her lips.
Su Bai had truly made a name for herself at this Alchemy convention.
Gaining the approval of the Elixir Cauldron Sect was now almost certain.
The prerequisite had been met.
Afterward, she only needed to recommend her to Elder Wang Ming.
The problem should not be significant.
"Xiao Bai..." Thinking of this, Xu Changge's eyes became a little dazed.
Meanwhile, the other Cultivators in the stands had not stopped expressing their astonishment after hearing about the Danwen Jueling Pill.
"My heavens, is it really a Danwen Jueling Pill?!"
"How could it be fake? That was personally stated by a Elixir Cauldron Sect Steward! What are you questioning?!"
"No, no, no, I didn't, I'm not!"
"A Danwen Jueling Pill, ah. Twenty years ago, I only encountered one at the Heavenly Fortune City auction. Goodness, just smelling that Medicinal Pill was better than taking a Low Grade Gathering Spirit Pill!"
"Oh, this Fellow Daoist has also seen one. I once found a bottle of Danwen Medicinal Pills in a Secret Realm. Because I was strapped for cash, I sold them. I sold them for four thousand three hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones!"
"..."
"Hehe, that's our Danfu Pavilion Shopkeeper!"
"A small Danwen Jueling Pill is easy to get. Fellow Daoists, if you ever need Medicinal Pills in the future, come to Xingluo Market Inner City, Changge Street, shop number sixty-six."
"Look for Danfu Pavilion! You won't get ripped off or cheated!"
At this moment, Yu Rou also started chatting with several Cultivators around her.
Her small face was flushed with excitement, as if she were the one who had refined the Danwen Jueling Pill.
Yu Ying gently covered her face with her sleeve, feeling a little shy.
The people around were immediately drawn in by Yu Rou's words, and they all began to ask about the Danfu Pavilion...
This third round of competition only lasted three days.
This was mainly due to Su Bai's actions, which had damaged the mental state of some Alchemists.
When refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, they still had the excuse of being unfamiliar with the Pill Furnace to comfort themselves.
Now, they had absolutely no excuse.
They were thoroughly overshadowed by Su Bai.
Moreover, the refinement of the Danwen Jueling Pill created an invisible pressure on many Alchemists.
They also didn't want to be looked down upon.
But the more they had this thought, the more prone they were to making mistakes.
Of the seventy Alchemists remaining, only five refined High Grade Medicinal Pills.
Aside from Su Bai, not a single other person refined a Danwen Jueling Pill.
After three rounds of competition, there was no doubt.
Su Bai was the number one Loose Cultivator Alchemist in Xingluo Market!
Finally, Senior Gao, as before, shared his Alchemy insights with his peers.
However, this time he did not call Su Bai forward again.
He was worried that Su Bai might say something strange again.
"The competition phase of this Alchemy convention concludes here."
"All Fellow Daoists who refined High Grade Medicinal Pills in the third round will receive a token from my Elixir Cauldron Sect. From now on, when purchasing Spirit Medicine or Medicinal Pills at the Danding Pavilion, you will receive a discount."
"You can even become a Guest Elder at the Danding Pavilion."
"For the next few days, we will not be refining Medicinal Pills, but only sharing our respective insights."
Senior Gao said with a chuckle, taking out six jade plaques.
With these plaques, if they no longer wished to be Loose Cultivators, they could directly become Guest Elders at the Danding Pavilion.
They could refine Medicinal Pills in their leisure time and still receive offerings.
It was considered a stable place to be.
Although they couldn't enter the Elixir Cauldron Sect, they at least had a connection.
They could get to know Sect Disciples.
In the future, they could perhaps help their Family juniors make connections, and they might even enter the Sect.
Just like Xu Changge.
Her status was actually similar to that of a Guest Elder.
The Xu Family now sent some children to the Green Bamboo Sword Sect every ten years.
However, Xu Changge was certainly not content with this.
So she wanted to advance.
Moving up from a Guest Elder, which is an outsider, would mean truly entering the Sect.
Although Xu Changge was not raised and cultivated by the Green Bamboo Sword Sect from a young age, she certainly couldn't enter the Inner City.
But the Outer Gate still held hope.
After entering the Outer Gate, her Family would no longer be able to help her with certain matters.
At this time, she would naturally need help.
In the eyes of the Sect, there was not much difference between Xu Changge and Su Bai.
Xu Changge and Su Bai were so close, Su Bai was a Guest Elder of the Xu Family.
After receiving the Elixir Cauldron Sect's credentials, Su Bai did not linger long.
Although Senior Gao wanted to keep her, Su Bai still declined, citing the need to attend to the Danfu Pavilion's business.
Faced with Su Bai's choice to forgo the opportunity to curry favor with a Sect Steward, many Alchemists openly scoffed mockingly.
They watched Su Bai's disappearing back.
"That Su Bai, she thinks she's so great just because she refined a Danwen Jueling Pill."
"Heh, isn't that right? I heard that old ghost, the Pill King, didn't even come. He looks down on this kind of Alchemy convention."
"Pill King? Is that Pill King Wangchuan? I heard he's been stuck as a Second-Order High Grade Alchemist for many years. He didn't even come to the Alchemy convention held by the Elixir Cauldron Sect. What's he doing then? Could it be..."
"Heh heh, who knows? Maybe he's already a Third-Order Alchemist. That status, tsk tsk tsk, is comparable to a Sect Elder."
A Third-Order Alchemist.
In the eyes of Loose Cultivators, that was a legend.
The Elders of the Elixir Cauldron Sect, ranked lower, were only at this level.
If the Pill King really became a Third-Order Alchemist, then it would be normal for him to look down on this Alchemy exchange convention.
After all, the strongest Loose Cultivator Alchemist here was only a Second-Order Medium Grade Alchemist like Su Bai.
Refining a Second-Order Medicinal Pill with Danwen could cause quite a stir.
"After all, they are all ignorant people."
"When I go back and digest what I gained from this Alchemy convention, I'll soon be a Second-Order Medium Grade Alchemist too."
"Oh! Then congratulations to this Fellow Daoist!"
"Hahahaha, congratulations to you too, we all gained something this time."
Although Su Bai couldn't hear these words, Senior Gao did.
He just shook his head helplessly.
Indeed, they were a group of ignorant people.
They had never seen the vast world on the other side of the Demon Beast Mountain Range.
Although he hadn't seen it himself, he had heard some things from the Elders within the Sect.
Moreover, with his current cultivation, he would return from Xingluo Market in twenty to thirty years at most, and the resources for Core Formation would then be his turn.
