Actually, Lin Yifan's purpose for refining the Ascension Pill is quite simple—it's to show off.

Since so many people believe he can't do it, he wants to prove to them that the Ascension Pill, which they are all eager to obtain, is, in his eyes, merely a trivial task.

He doesn't need to win the championship to get it.

Moreover, by refining the Ascension Pill, he can easily win the championship, which is another reason for his refining it.

In fact, if he had enough power, refining a seventh-grade pill wouldn't be beyond Lin Yifan's capabilities.

His achievements in alchemy have already reached the highest summit, only many people are unaware of it.

Upon smelling this aroma, for some reason, Hu Jun suddenly felt worried.

Lin Yifan is in the later stages of refining. If Lin Yifan successfully refines the Ascension Pill, then he can forget about winning the championship because the pill he's refining is supposed to be harder than Lin Yifan's Ascension Pill; and when judging victory, if two pills are on the same grade rank, scores are based on the difficulty and purity percentage.

In other words, if Lin Yifan refines the Ascension Pill, he has a ninety percent chance of winning, with the other ten percent depending on the purity of Lin Yifan's pill.

However, judging from the yellow light smoke's purity refined by Lin Yifan, the purity of Lin Yifan's Ascension Pill shouldn't be too low, possibly even higher than the pill he's refining, so he has no confidence.

Though it seems Lin Yifan is struggling and looks like he can't hold on, the pill refining is nearing completion, and Lin Yifan still has a chance to refine the Ascension Pill.

Considering various reasons, fear gave birth to a very sinister thought in him.

As the process goes on, the smoke at Alchemy Square gets thicker, a most opportune moment to make a secret move.

So, looking around and finding that almost all the participating disciples had plunged into the smoke, Hu Jun took risks, took out a hidden weapon, and threw it toward Lin Yifan's position.

He used all his strength, so even if Lin Yifan didn't die, he would find it hard to continue refining the pill.

The hidden weapon flew at an extremely fast speed; alchemists below the Divine Transformation Fifth Realm peak couldn't notice it; only Du Yuze noticed a slight anomaly.

However, by the time he judged the direction of the hidden weapon, it was too late; even if he used all his power, it would be hard to stop the speeding hidden weapon.

Therefore, he could only shout aloud: "Junior Brother Lin! Beware!"

The sudden shout startled Lin Yifan, who was focused on refining the pill.

Feeling a danger approaching swiftly, without hesitation, he executed the Super Martial Art "One Qi Becomes Three Purities," splitting into three avatars to evade.

He switched positions and only put away this super martial art after the hidden weapon passed by.

The evasion lasted very briefly, only for a mere two seconds, but it was quite thrilling enough.

Many elders who were watching Lin Yifan's refining process saw the insidious dart pass through Lin Yifan's avatar.

Immediately, they were full of rage, vowing to find the person who made the secret move.

Following the dart's trajectory back, they found several people, including Hu Jun, who loathed Lin Yifan profoundly, though they weren't sure it was him.

However, according to the powerful force, it's almost certain ten to eight that it was Hu Jun.

"Damn it! This disgraceful disciple has made me lose face!"

The Third Elder was extremely furious and really wanted to butcher Hu Jun.

However, the competition was still ongoing, and he was embarrassed to interrupt it.

Du Yuze's yell drew the attention of many people, not only the alchemists competing but also the audience watching the competition.

For a moment, many were discussing, not knowing what happened.

"What's Brother Du yelling about? Could it be that the newly arrived junior brother is in danger?"

"Who on earth made the move?"

"Maybe Fifth Brother won't escape responsibility."

"If it turns out that Fifth Brother made the move, then there will be quite a show; such a heinous crime could lead to expulsion or execution—far worse than Cui Libin's punishment!"

"Hopefully, it wasn't Fifth Brother who made the move!" Those disciples on the side of the eldest brother prayed silently.

However, Bai Chu, who was secretly watching the match, couldn't help but curse inwardly: "Idiots! Utter fools!"

There are many methods of assassination, but attempting an assassination under many eyes is suicidal, especially when there are great powers present at the scene.

These petty tricks are unlikely to escape the eyes of these great powers, so the trick Hu Jun pulled was definitely seen by the elders.

He reckoned that Hu Jun was done for; losing such a capable assistant was truly regrettable.

On the other side, the second brother Xu Haolin was grinning happily; if it was indeed Hu Jun who made the move, then Bai Chu would lose a powerful wing, increasing his own chances of achieving the position of Young Valley Master.

Xiao Fang clenched her fists and stared nervously at the thick smoke in Alchemy Square. If anything happened to Lin Yifan, she would definitely go all out against Hu Jun.

Hu Jun sensed something was wrong; he didn't expect that the hidden weapon he threw was detected by Du Yuze. Now, even jumping into the Yellow River couldn't cleanse him of the blame.

He only prayed that Lin Yifan wasn't injured or dead; only then might he avoid severe punishment.

Lin Yifan, who narrowly escaped an ordeal, never expected Hu Jun would make a secret move against him, which made him extremely angry.

Nevertheless, refining the Ascension Pill was the top priority, so he refocused entirely on refining, not wanting to deal with other matters.

Due to the disturbance, the purity of Lin Yifan's Ascension Pill decreased significantly, and it was almost not refined. Fortunately, he took big strides forward, otherwise, he would've really wanted to put Hu Jun to the sword.

Du Yuze also held back his anger, fairness and justice will prevail, and he believed that the elders would definitely make a reasonable punishment.

The competition gradually entered the final stage, and Du Yuze was the first to refine a sixth-grade pill, living up to everyone's expectations.

Lin Yifan followed closely behind, but he wasn't happy about refining the Ascension Pill either. He clenched his fist, determined to publicly expose the person who harmed him.

Hu Jun spent his time in anxiety but also successfully completed the refinement, though the quality of the pill was going to be poor.

As each disciple finished their refinement, the smoke at Alchemy Square gradually thinned.

Soon, someone saw Lin Yifan's figure.

Lin Yifan was safe and sound, exuding the same extraordinary detachment as ever.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Fang could finally let out a sigh of relief.

Hu Jun was the same; it's a good thing for him that Lin Yifan was unharmed.

Everyone turned their gaze to Hu Jun to see how he would react.

Seeing Hu Jun's calm demeanor and composed disposition, it seemed he wasn't the one who made the move.

This was puzzling; if it wasn't Hu Jun who made the move, then who was it? What exactly did Brother Du mean with his previous shout?
