Chapter 1035: Chapter 662 You’re cheating!

```

Two figures completely disappeared into the light screen.

This formation, crafted by the hand of Mu Yang Taoist, was displayed before all the Peaks with confidence that unless someone intervened to break the formation, not even the Eldest Senior Brother could see through it with just a pair of eyes.

A renewed silence fell among the many disciples.

Those third generation disciples, on an equal footing with Ye Lan and Liu Ruifeng, were the main audience for today’s ceremony.

To claim the position of Peak Master, one must exhibit extraordinary capabilities. Otherwise, how could one command respect?

However, they had no objections to Master Mu Yang’s use of the formation to conceal nature’s spiritual energy and perception. The mundane process of Alchemy wasn’t the point of interest; it was the gleaming light of Tribulation Power that emanated after the Elixir was formed.

Everything could be faked, but not the radiance of the Pill.

What really piqued their interest was how Sister Ye Lan would respond.

Sixth Peak’s actions over the years had not escaped the Third Generation Disciples’ eyes. Ye Lan’s departure from Shenxu Mountain was perceived as relinquishing control over Dan Peak.

But it was now apparent that this was not the case.

Even after years of stewardship over Sixth Peak by father and son, Sister Ye Lan still stepped forward at their crucial moment.

But one questions, is it too late to take a stand now?

The Third Generation Disciples didn’t hold much hope for the newly arrived young man, and for a simple reason: given the character of father and son of the Sixth Peak, they would never allow him half of the Elixir ingredients unless they had enough understanding of the man.

The Apprentices’ thoughts likely reflected the musings of the other Peak Masters.

At this moment, Ye Lan stood erect at the peak top, head slightly raised, her fair and delicate face still displaying its usual pride, yet to the elder observers, it seemed to be a facade, bordering on pathetic.

Qian Feng, Jin Xue Taoist, and the youthful-looking old man with white crane hair were among the three Peak Masters who had come to Dan Peak to witness the disciple recruitment ceremony. They were closer acquaintances of Ye Lan, but even so, they couldn’t truly stand behind her and offer their support.

The phrase "isolated and without aid" best depicted Ye Lan’s current situation.

Aside from that new Disciple she just took in, there was nothing else she could rely on in the vastness of Shenxu Mountain.

It was common knowledge that her past support had all died.

And Ye Lan’s actions today of ascending the mountain could be deemed as losing her last shred of dignity. Even if the elders were inclined to retain her title of Peak Master, under the odd gazes of her peers, it would be difficult for her to continue holding that chair.

"..."

Mu Yang Taoist quietly lowered his eyes, a silent smile on his lips.

This unexpected joy today was something he had not foreseen.

Everything was ready; all that remained was to commence the Alchemy.

"..."

Ye Lan was also silent. She could certainly feel those intent gazes upon her, but from the moment Shen Yi stepped through that light screen, she had not shifted her eyes away.

At this point, other than choosing to trust, she had no other options.

Within the light screen interwoven by countless lines,

Liu Ruifeng adjusted his breathing, caressing those herbs that couldn’t be more familiar, his palms trembling slightly.

Alchemy required a steady hand and cannot be rushed.

Yet every time he thought of his years-long aspirations coming to fruition today, he could hardly contain his excitement.

"With one attempt, I’ll crush all of you."

With a forceful exhale, Liu Ruifeng murmured to himself and waved his sleeve. His countless nights of diligent practice made him extremely familiar with the process of crafting the Void Treasure Pill.

Those Heaven and Earth Treasures, filled with Tribulation Power, floated up in sequence and entered the Pill Furnace amidst the sudden surge of flames.

He had ample experience in how to refine the essence of the herbs while retaining as much Tribulation Power as possible within them.

However, his unsettled mind still impacted the delicate procedure.

"Huh."

Liu Ruifeng’s hands suddenly jerked, his complexion changing as he gazed at the Tribulation Power spilling out from the Pill Furnace.

The botched refinement of this primary herb instantly lowered the potential quality of the Elixir; even without further issues, and with the formation’s help, it could at best achieve the standard of a Six Tribulation Pill.

His face grew darker.

Using this Pill to defeat Shen Yi would not be a problem, but even if the elders did not verbalize it, they would certainly smirk inwardly. If he disappointed the Great Master Uncle, even without Ye Shen and others, they would likely seek another Pill Master to replace him once this was over.

After all, once a precedent for changing the Peak Master’s position is set, what’s changed once can be changed again.

At that thought, Liu Ruifeng quietly retrieved another two sets of ingredients from his Storage Treasure.

This was his greatest confidence for today.

Three sets of ingredients to produce one Elixir—defeat would be difficult.

He picked up one of the primary ingredients, intended as a substitute, and carefully placed it into the Pill Furnace.

Liu Ruifeng did not consider this cheating.

These two extra sets of ingredients were a reward rightfully earned through years of hard work managing Dan Peak, saved specifically for today.

As the great Elixir was successfully refined, a smile returned to Liu Ruifeng’s face.

Meanwhile, in another part of the light screen,

Shen Yi stood with hands hanging down in front of the Pill Furnace, facing neatly divided ingredients.

No help for it, although he had deduced the Alchemy Formula through the interface, these ingredients were ones he was truly seeing for the first time.

Tribulation Power was not an issue; it could be supplemented with a Demon’s Lifespan.
