Chapter #285. Above PerfectionTian Fan and nine others now stood facing the Tree of Life, which radiated pure and dense energy in all directions.Being near the Tree of Life made Qiaofeng and the others feel their dantian pulsating as the pure energy saturated their dantian to the point of saturation. This caused the thin barrier hindering their advancement in levels and realms to erode and thin further, requiring only a slight push for them to advance."Master Fan, I...""Please, Master Qiaofeng, cultivate near this Tree of Life until you can elevate your realm," Tian Fan interrupted, aware of Qiaofeng's and the three patriarchs' desires.Tian Fan waved his hand, and a dozen pill bottles flew towards Qiaofeng and the others, landing softly in their hands."Seniors, these are gifts from me! As a token of gratitude for the seniors' assistance. Also, as a gift for our friendship," Tian Fan said, bowing with clasped hands to the four seniors."Master... Th.. this...?" Yin Hu couldn't co
Chapter #286. GoosebumpsSeven days passed swiftly.Tian Fan, standing atop the clouds in his small world, gazed towards the array near his golden palace.He observed Qiaofeng and the others taking the final steps towards advancing their realms. Similarly, his four female guards, cultivating near the Tree of Life, reaped numerous benefits for their realms and bodies.The same applied to Lan Ren; Tian Fan could see that Lan Ren's azure body possessed a special mechanism, effortlessly absorbing the energy emitted by the Tree of Life without any difficulty."It seems I'm starting to understand the methods Wei Lan and her triplets can use to advance their realms. The same goes for Lan Ren," he mused."Ah, it looks like I should head to the real world first while waiting for everyone to finish their realm advancements."Tian Fan shifted from his position to a room in his golden palace. Seated in a chair, he stared at the light screen in front of him.From there, he observed the situation i
Chapter #287. NarcissisticAfter winning the debate with the young masters who intentionally sought trouble with him, Tian Fan and the six beauties now sat together in a restaurant not far from the competition venue.From the six beauties, he also learned about the rules of the alchemy competition that would take place and who would participate in the competition.The participants in this alchemist competition were the students from the academy in Hefei and academies in several nearby cities.Besides the academy students, independent alchemists also participate in this competition. Apart from being a competition, this event is organized as a means of registration for alchemists to obtain licenses and permits, allowing them to commercially produce pills."Young Master Fan, if you participate in this competition and win, you will become the representative of the Eastern Alchemist Association in the major competition that will be held at the Central Alchemist Association in the central c
Chapter #289. The Alchemy Competition Begins"The participants of the first stage competition quickly lined up according to their respective numbers. Participants with numbers one to fifty lined up in a row at the back, continuing with numbers fifty-one to one hundred in the second row, and so on," shouted a competition organizer loudly.Immediately, hundreds of people, including young masters, young misses, men, and women of various ages and backgrounds, lined up according to the instructions of the competition organizers.After everyone had lined up according to the instructions, they all stood and gazed towards the five individuals sitting on the grand chairs on the competition stage.An old man wearing a white robe then rose from his seat. He walked towards the center of the stage, staring flatly at all five hundred competition participants."Before the competition begins, there is one competition that everyone here must go through. You will be tested on knowledge of alchemy, pill
Chapter #290. Nepotism"The competition begins!" shouted the organizer, putting a temporary halt to the cold war between Tian Fan and Fu Gao.The organizer's shout was met with applause from the audience. At the same time, participants with numbers one, fifty-one, one hundred one, and so on began to advance towards the evaluation stones in front of their respective rows.Tian Fan himself carefully observed every process carried out by the competition participants.The participants affixed their respective jade slips to the circle on the surface of the evaluation stone.After the jade slips gleamed, the examinees placed both their hands on the evaluation stone.At that moment, the consciousness and soul of the participant were drawn into the evaluation stone. Twenty breaths passed. From each evaluation stone emerged color gradations, each color indicating the total score of a competition participant.Red, yellow, green, blue, and gold were color symbols that would shine brightly, repre
Chapter #291. Unmask Yourself!"Every word has its consequences. In front of this audience, Grandmaster says such things, clearly, the stakes are the credibility of the junior and the grandmaster! Is the grandmaster ready to bear the consequences of your words?""I, Tian Fan, have dignity and highly uphold justice!""Grandmaster accuses me of cheating? Then please prove the grandmaster's accusation! But if it's not proven, in front of everyone here, take responsibility for the accusation grandmaster made against me!" Tian Fan declared boldly without a hint of fear."Young man, you dare talk back! Do you not know who I am?""Does that affect who and where the grandmaster comes from regarding this matter?""Are the grandmaster's words a decree, an absolute truth that cannot be questioned?" Tian Fan responded."Does the esteemed alchemist status of those on this stage have no value and is lower than senior status? If so, the junior won't mind." Tian Fan explained plainly.Fu Min couldn't
Chapter #292. SlyTian Fan waved his hand to Fu Gao and Fu Wan as they descended from the stage, their faces flushed with embarrassment and undoubtedly with emotions running high, directed at Tian Fan.The glares from both of them towards Tian Fan clearly showed a strong desire to kill him.(You are truly seeking death by meddling with my Fu clan.) Fu Min suddenly sent his telepathy to Tian Fan.(Know your place!) Tian Fan replied shortly, without much elaboration.(What do you mean?)(It seems you are also unaware, old man!) Tian Fan uttered through telepathy, grinning at Fu Min.(You!)(It seems you still have some face left! Instead of reflecting on your previous behavior, now you're boldly threatening me. Remember your old age. Especially remember, there is always someone above you.) Tian Fan replied through telepathy with emphasis.Tian Fan grinned at Fu Min with a disdainful gaze."Sorry, grandmaster. Will the next examination be guaranteed by the grandmaster that there will be
Chapter #293. Chain Reaction"What do you think?" Xing Lao asked the other three alchemists."No problem!" Grandmaster Mei Chan replied."Yes, although I don't know what the youth is planning, it seems fine to me," Alchemist Ling Tong responded."Young man, stop joking around! Tell us what you're using those spirit stones for," Alchemist Pan Jun asked seriously."As I mentioned earlier, I will use these spirit stones to prop up my furnace," Tian Fan replied briefly."What else?" he asked."The grandmasters can see for yourself, that compared to the other participants, the furnace prepared for this junior is in poor condition, not to mention the herbal plants and spirit plants available have imperfect quality.""Both the junior and the grandmasters would surely complain if they received materials like these, wouldn't they? Even if we alchemists received such materials from a pill requester, we would certainly refuse, wouldn't we?""But because this is a competition, I can only accept a
