My Sexy Female CEO

"Damn it! How could this happen? I clearly had it under control!"

Hu Jun was bewildered, now anxious, angry, and flustered, at a loss.

Before the competition started, he had boldly declared he'd defeat Lin Yifan; failing to do so would bring ridicule and possibly mocking from Lin Yifan.

This was a humiliation he couldn't endure, so he focused intensely, refining the latter part seriously, striving not to make any mistakes.

Until the very end, victory or defeat was not certain; thus, he still had a chance to turn the tables.

The competition was in full swing, many five-star alchemists had produced yellow smoke. However, their yellow smoke was worse than Du Yuze's and Hu Jun's, lacking competitiveness.

Some five-star alchemists attempted to refine sixth-grade elixirs, but no yellow smoke rose, which meant they were doomed to fail.

Yet those promoted from the previous round as four-star alchemists didn't dare challenge the sixth-grade elixirs; they refined the best fifth-grade elixirs they could manage. As for whether they could win the championship or not, it was up to luck.

Among those promoted in the last round, only Lin Yifan dared to challenge the sixth-grade elixirs; when others promoted with Lin saw him produce yellow smoke, they felt immensely ashamed.

Earlier, they mocked Lin Yifan for not having an alchemy level, unworthy of competing with them; now, they were fortunate Lin didn't disdain them.

"Sigh! Better to stay humble and low-key; otherwise, you don't even realize how you get humiliated!"

They regretted inwardly, wishing they could turn back time.

Refining elixirs is a lengthy process, during which a large amount of cultivation power is needed, especially when refining high-grade elixirs.

Lin Yifan is just a cultivator at a low realm, now attempting to refine a sixth-grade elixir, consuming more than half of the cultivation power within his body.

Now, he's very weak and may not last much longer.

Seeing this scene, the audience buzzed with chatter.

"It seems that for low realm cultivators to forcibly refine high-grade elixirs is indeed challenging."

"It's nearing the end; it's unclear if he'll hold on."

"Victory and defeat are uncertain; no matter how impressive, it might be fleeting."

"Fifth Brother has a chance; as long as he doesn't make major mistakes, he has a fifty percent chance of winning."

...

"Yifan! Can you hold on? If not, it's okay to give up!"

Xiao Fang was deeply worried, extremely anxious about Lin Yifan's safety.

No matter if Lin Yifan wins or loses, in her heart, he's already a winner, because no other disciple of the Divine Transformation Third Realm would dare to challenge refining a sixth-grade elixir like Lin Yifan.

This courage has already defeated many people.

"Hmph! In the end, he still can't make it?"

Second Brother sneered and mocked, as long as Lin Yifan didn't produce a sixth-grade elixir, he was still a five-star alchemist.

While in the Divine Transformation Third Realm, he was a five-star alchemist too, so there's nothing extraordinary.

For Senior Brother Bai Chu, he seemed to see a rival of extraordinary perseverance.

Sometimes, an undying stubborn person is more fearsome than a fierce tiger.

Lin Yifan has already become his strongest opponent on the path to becoming Young Valley Master, more threatening than Second Junior Brother; he must be cautiously vigilant.

In the Alchemy Square, although Hu Jun consistently focused on refining his elixir, he would occasionally spare moments to observe the refinement situation of his competitors.

He had already marked Lin Yifan as a primary focus among his opponents, thus all his attention was on Lin Yifan.

Seeing Lin Yifan sweating heavily, clenching his teeth, with an expression of difficulty, he seemed to see hope.

"Heh! Kid, you can't make it, can you? Competing for the championship with us? You don't have that skill!"

Hu Jun chuckled slyly, quite pleased, thinking Lin Yifan was bound to lose.

Du Yuze also observed Lin Yifan's situation, seeing Lin Yifan struggling hard, he worried whether Lin Yifan could endure.

However, everything depended on Lin Yifan's fate, he was powerless.

In the process of elixir refinement, though Lin Yifan was struggling, he felt he was nearing success, so gritting his teeth and sustaining it was all he needed.

The reason high-grade elixirs consume cultivation power is that one must release cultivation power, controlling the timing of the heat; a slight mistake might result in complete failure.

This is the difference between high-grade and low-grade elixirs and also the reason for the nobility of high-grade elixirs.

As time slowly passed, gradually, the scent of Lin Yifan's refined elixir became increasingly strong, many people smelled this aroma.

This aroma was familiar to some individuals, because they had consumed it before, it was the premium among sixth-grade elixirs—the Ascension Pill.

Lin Yifan actually refined the Ascension Pill, momentarily shocking everyone.

"Oh my gosh! He's challenging the sixth-grade elixir Ascension Pill!"

"Impossible! Isn't it said that after promotion, one can obtain an Ascension Pill? Why is he still challenging?"

"Are you stupid? He surely wants to prove to everyone present that he isn't just here for the championship; he doesn't care about any championship; he can refine the Ascension Pill himself."

"Then why is he participating in the Alchemy Tournament?"

"Merely wanting to showcase his skills through this platform."

"That's not right; there's another possibility—to gain entry into the Scripture Pavilion."

"Is the Scripture Pavilion that tempting? Isn't it said that there's nothing worthwhile to see there?"

"That's for those who cannot understand ancient script; this lad might be different."

"No way, is he sent by aliens? Or heir to some ancient sect?"

"I don't know, I'm just guessing."

"Damn, saying nonsense when you have no evidence!"

...

Few people could understand Lin Yifan's actions, not even the elders seated in the elder's seats.

Whether Lin Yifan challenged the Ascension Pill to flaunt his prowess or to seek the chance to enter the Scripture Pavilion, both seemed plausible.

Lin Yifan's challenge of the Ascension Pill showcases his extraordinary strength; possessing Immortal Level martial arts, Lin Yifan might understand ancient writings, thus the desire to enter the Scripture Pavilion.

"This lad is truly mysterious; if he cannot be used by our Medicinal Saint Valley, it'd be best to eliminate him."

Lin Yifan has boundless potential and is a potential adversary. If Lin Yifan remains faithful to the Medicinal Saint Valley, it's fine; but if he betrays and opposes the Medicinal Saint Valley, it would be troublesome.

Therefore, the elders of Medicinal Saint Valley are quite concerned.

"Arrogant! Truly arrogant!"

Second Brother Xu Haolin was extremely angry; Lin Yifan was showing contempt for everything, not caring about his opponents.

He's not here to compete for the Ascension Pill, but rather to mock the competition.

Bai Chu gazed at this scene, a certain anxiety brewing inside.

So far, he couldn't understand Lin Yifan; this person was too mysterious, difficult to decipher, a terrifying enemy.
