My Sexy Female CEO

On the Alchemy Square, all the contestants were ready.

Hu Jun looked arrogantly at Lin Yifan in the left front, his eyes full of disdain.

He must uphold the honor for his senior brother and let that kid know who the real heir of the Medicinal Saint Valley is.

Du Yuze was full of anticipation; winning the championship no longer appealed to him, he just wanted to compete against Lin Yifan.

The majority of the audience focused their attention on Du Yuze and Hu Jun, seldom casting a glance at Lin Yifan.

However, for Xiaofang, her attention remained unwaveringly on Lin Yifan; she wanted to admire Lin Yifan's graceful demeanor and adored his transcendent spirit.

On the Alchemy Square, Lin Yifan remained as always, unperturbed by the world. He closed his eyes, folded his arms, and quietly waited for the competition to begin.

The most intense competition was about to start. Who would stand out, and who would fade away, would soon be revealed.

When the Great Elder saw that all the participating disciples were ready, he stood up and announced loudly, "The competition begins!"

In an instant, the once quiet Alchemy Square erupted into a commotion, with many contestants hurriedly refining their elixirs.

Though the competition did not have a time limit, time was still crucial, because if two elixirs were of the same quality, the one refined in a shorter time would win.

No one wanted to miss the championship, so everyone was hurried but cautious, striving to refine their desired elixir as soon as possible.

Some were refining exquisite Fifth Grade pills, aiming for stability and victory; others took bold risks to challenge the Sixth Grade pills, as the saying goes, "Winners become kings, losers submit to their fate." Achieving makes one a king; failing, they had to acknowledge defeat.

Hu Jun had not started yet because he wanted to begin after Lin Yifan; this way, if he refined the elixir first, no one could say he was inferior to Lin Yifan in alchemy.

In other words, he wanted to compete on equal footing with Lin Yifan, not wanting the stigma of winning unfairly.

Du Yuze didn't have such leisure; he proceeded methodically according to his steps, adding water while controlling the fire, slowly refining the herbs he had added.

All the contestants had started refining their elixirs, Hu Jun was really impatient, not knowing how long that Sabi Lin Yifan would keep waiting.

Many in the audience noticed this strange scenario; they couldn't understand why Hu Jun wasn't starting. Did he also want to show off?

When they followed Hu Jun's gaze, they found that in one corner, there was still someone who hadn't started refining elixirs.

Suddenly, they realized and finally understood why Hu Jun hadn't started yet.

It's just that this behavior seemed foolish in their eyes.

Why be at odds with someone unrelated? What if the other person never moved, would he also stand still? What if Brother Du was the first to refine a Sixth Grade pill, what then?

"Whoa! Fifth Brother, what are you waiting for? It's just a young kid; don't you have the confidence to beat him?"

"I really can't understand, is it necessary to pay attention to that kid?"

"This is handing the championship to Brother Du on a silver platter!"

...

The disciples supporting the senior brother were speechless, really wanting to give Fifth Brother a couple of slaps.

Even Bai Chu, observing the competition from the shadows, felt that Hu Jun's behavior was unnecessary.

There are many ways to prove one's strength; no need to worry about such details.

Since Du Yuze switched sides, people on the second senior brother's side hadn't been very interested in this competition. Although they had members participating, their strength was far behind Brother Du and Brother Hu, so they held no high hopes.

After a long calm, Lin Yifan finally opened his eyes and began refining his elixir.

At this moment, Hu Jun could finally breathe a sigh of relief: "Damn it! That bastard couldn't hold back any longer?"

However, just as he was about to start refining, Lin Yifan suddenly stopped.

This infuriated him, he wanted to burst out cursing; but realizing this was a competition, he held back his anger.

Lin Yifan stopped to think about when to add the ingredients; once he figured it out, he continued.

But when he wanted to proceed, he encountered another issue, so he paused to think again.

This stop-and-go drove Hu Jun crazy. Now, whether to start or stay still, he was at a loss about what to do.

Many noticed Hu Jun's flushed face, so those not supporting the senior brother's side began mocking:

"Haha! Is Brother Hu here to be funny? If he doesn't refine, will you really not refine too?"

"The newcomer has successfully helped Brother Du eliminate a strong competitor."

"How can there be such a fool in this world?"

"Brother Hu, self-proclaimed wise all his life, doesn't seem too wise now."

"Brother Hu with the red apple, with such IQ, thinking of defeating Brother Du, dream on!"

...

Seeing their own being mocked, the disciples supporting Brother Hu were certainly not happy, yet they couldn't argue back, because even they couldn't help but criticize Hu Jun's behavior.

"This dilly-dallying from Brother Hu is not his usual style!"

"Is it fun being toyed with like this?"

"How come there's no initiative?"

"Is this really the decisive Brother Hu I know?"

...

"Idiot!"

Even Bai Chu, watching from the shadows, couldn't help but jest, "Hu Jun has really lost my face."

Hearing the whispers around her, Xiaofang learned of this amusing matter; then she looked at Hu Jun and noticed that he indeed wasn't refining elixirs but waiting for Lin Yifan.

"Haha! Is Brother Hu here to be funny?"

She burst into laughter, utterly entertained.

The elders on the elder seat had long noticed this scene, and the Third Elder, being Hu Jun's master, felt utterly embarrassed and disrespectful.

"Haha! Old Third, your disciple is quite amusing!" The Great Elder couldn't help but tease.

"Great Elder, please don't say more, it's extremely embarrassing." The Third Elder was almost too shy to remain there.

"Haha, it's alright, he's got spirit, I understand his actions."

"Spirit my foot, this is stupidity, utter stupidity!" The Third Elder couldn't help but harshly criticize his prized disciple.

"Haha..."

All the elders only laughed, uttering no words; now was not the time to kick someone when they're down.

Countless mockeries came raining down from all sides; although not blatantly, listening to them, Hu Jun felt utterly humiliated.

When did he sink so low as to be toyed with by a brat in the Divine Transformation Third Realm?

So, disregarding everything, he immediately began refining his elixir.

As he started refining, Lin Yifan also resumed his process. He was unaffected, still following his own steps, refining bit by bit.
