At this moment, He Qianyao was clearly very worried about Ding Fan. Although He Qianyao knew that Ding Fan would not do something he was not confident in, the ten seconds was already a very short time. Ding Fan didn't even look at the pill recipe for ten seconds before throwing it aside, which obviously made He Qianyao concerned about how Ding Fan would refine the medicine pill later.

At this time, not only was He Qianyao worried about Ding Fan, but the cultivators in the surrounding audience also showed their concern for him. After all, Ding Fan's speed in looking at the pill recipe was a bit too fast. With such a quick glance, not to mention remembering the spiritual materials in the pill recipe, even recognizing them clearly was a problem, given the time was too short.

Zhang Hao witnessed this scene and felt a strong sense of disdain. Zhang Hao clearly knew that there were almost forty kinds of spiritual materials in the pill recipe, and it was impossible for someone to remember them in such a short span of time. Evidently, when the other party starts refining the pill later, it will be worth watching. Even if the refined pill is a supreme quality medicine pill, if it does not match the pill recipe, it would be useless.

Soon, Ding Fan began refining the medicine pill, taking out various spiritual materials one by one for the refining process.

At this moment, what everyone was worried about was clearly not a problem for Ding Fan. He directly took out the alchemy cauldron and began refining the pill. Soon, a rich fragrance of medicine wafted gently through the air, spreading for several miles. The audience was stunned when they smelled this fragrance, feeling extremely shocked.

The white-robed elder was five steps away from the high platform, and he didn't expect that Ding Lin would have already started refining the pill, which was incredibly shocking. When the white-robed elder smelled the fragrance, he couldn't help but feel a wave of astonishment.

The white-robed elder was very skilled in alchemy, although not comparable to Ding Fan. Nevertheless, reaching this point in the Great Alchemy Competition indicated his high level of alchemy skill, making him a figure of note in the Donglai Continent.

Just by smelling the fragrance, the white-robed elder understood that the pill refined by the opponent was not simple, and its grade level must be extremely high. The elder knew that such a fragrant aroma couldn't be produced by an ordinary alchemist, considering that even for a simple pill, creating such a fragrance was not an easy task.

In the elder's alchemy experience, he had only once managed to refine a pill with a similar fragrance, and that was a Grade Eight Pill, the most delightful achievement in his heart. But that was the only time he experienced such delight, and since then, he never refined another pill of such high grade.

Now, smelling this familiar fragrance once again, the elder could not help but be shocked. At the same time, he had to admit his defeat to Ding Lin, as the outcome was already clear. The opponent excelled not only in alchemy but also in cultivation, making the elder feel inferior in every aspect.

After all, the opponent was too young. To be honest, the only flaw of the elder was his age, and in other respects, he was truly impeccable. Both his alchemy level and cultivation insights were at the level of a strong cultivator.

But upon encountering Ding Fan, the elder's heart had to concede, and he even felt envious of Ding Fan's achievements at such a young age. The future was limitless for him!

Elder Herr finally reached the last ten steps, and upon smelling Ding Fan's medicinal fragrance, he was equally shocked, not expecting Ding Lin to have refined such a high-grade pill. At that moment, Herr's hopes were dashed. Clearly, the champion of this Great Alchemy Competition had already been decided, and it had nothing to do with him.

Then, Elder Herr gathered his True Qi with a subtle hand movement and rushed to the top of the high platform. Though his speed still seemed slow, it was better than before. Although winning the championship was out of the question for Elder Herr, he still intended to do his utmost in this competition.

Moreover, in Elder Herr's mind, even if he had no chance at the championship, winning a second place would still be commendable. Clearly, he was dissatisfied with the white-robed elder ahead of him.

Herr understood that even if the opponent's cultivation was somewhat superior, gaining an advantage on the high platform, the final competition in the third round of the alchemy contest would still depend on whose pill grade was higher. Herr had never conceded to anyone in terms of alchemy!

That was Herr's thoughts before encountering Ding Fan. Meeting Ding Fan had indeed struck Herr deeply, knowing that the young man was not only superior in both alchemy level and cultivation achievements.

This acknowledgment was undeniable for Herr, who was well aware that Ding Fan's potential was limitless.

In fact, Herr stopped comparing himself with Ding Fan and hoped to meet this prodigious talent as soon as possible since such promising young talents were best known early.

Herr knew that Ding Fan's future achievements would surpass his own, and forming a connection with such an outstanding alchemist would be very beneficial to him.

By now, many cultivators in the audience had smelled the fragrance from Ding Fan's refined medicine, and they were very surprised. This was their second time experiencing the rich aroma of Ding Fan's refined pill. The audience remembered the fragrance, recognizing that the first similar aroma they experienced also came from Ding Lin in the first round of the competition.

During Ding Lin's first round in the Great Alchemy Competition, he refined a supreme quality medicine pill, shocking the audience. As they smelled this fragrance again, they couldn't help but feel shocked anew.

It seemed quite possible that Ding Lin was refining another supreme quality medicine pill this time!

For a moment, everyone was utterly shocked, clearly unable to fathom how Ding Lin managed to refine supreme quality medicine pills once again. It was simply too astounding. It's important to note that throughout this Great Alchemy Competition, only three batches of pills were refined. If Ding Fan refined supreme quality medicine pills every time, not only would the Donglai Continent be in an uproar, but even the entire Cultivation World would be shaken by such a feat.

The idea that someone in this world could achieve a 100% success rate in refining supreme quality medicine pills is simply too shocking, something that everyone is finding hard to imagine.

Yet, Ding Fan quickly completed the pill refinement, becoming the first contestant alchemist in his group to finish in the Great Alchemy Competition. At this point, the second alchemist, an elder in white, had just one more step to ascend the high platform.

However, the elder in white clearly hadn't anticipated that before he reached the high platform, Ding Lin had already completed the Great Alchemy Competition. This was truly too shocking! After all, it had only taken less than the time for two incense sticks to burn, which clearly showed that he had already finished the Great Alchemy Competition.

This was simply astonishing.

Soon after, a staff member handed the medicine pills refined by Ding Fan to an elder in the judge area. When the elder saw the pills refined by Ding Fan, his expression froze instantly, his eyes wide open in utter panic.

"It's actually a supreme quality medicine pill!"

...

At this moment, an elder in the judge area saw the pills refined by Ding Fan and couldn't help but exclaim excitedly, clearly showing that Ding Fan's medicine pills were indeed supreme quality once again. Even the elders in the judge area couldn't remain calm, knowing that out of three batches of pills, each turned out to be supreme quality!

This is simply defying the heavens!

Isn't it said that supreme quality medicine pills are extremely difficult to refine? How is it that in his hands, refining supreme quality medicine pills seems as easy as eating and drinking? This is simply unbelievable!

This is nothing short of a miracle!

Bear in mind that even in the entire Cultivation World, there are few alchemists who could reach Ding Lin's level, where any random refinement results in supreme quality medicine pills. It's simply inconceivable!

"Is there really such an alchemist in this world, for whom supreme quality medicine pills are a mere trifle?"

"Even though the final pill recipe wasn't particularly difficult, achieving supreme quality with even the simplest of pills is extraordinarily hard!"

"Isn't Ding Lin a bit over the top? Is it really necessary for it to be so exaggerated, with each refinement producing supreme quality medicine pills? This is simply too incredible!"

"..."

All the judge elders were completely stunned, evidently subdued by Ding Fan's skills. He not only completed his refinement in less time than it takes for two incense sticks to burn but also produced supreme quality medicine pills. This is simply too astonishing! Such feats are virtually impossible in the Cultivation World.

Everyone knows how tremendously difficult it is to refine supreme quality medicine pills. It's certainly not something any ordinary alchemist can achieve. Even for a Grade Nine Alchemist, successfully refining three supreme quality pills out of ten would be considered a huge blessing.

Yet here was someone just over twenty years old, casually producing supreme quality medicine pills. Saying this out loud, even a top alchemy master might not believe it, as it's simply too miraculous! Ding Lin isn't just incredibly talented!

At this point, not just the other competing alchemists, but even the judge elders felt ashamed in the presence of Ding Fan, as none of them could achieve what Ding Fan did.

At this moment, Elder Wang was so astonished by Ding Fan's supreme quality medicine pills that he was at a loss for words, realizing that Ding Fan was indeed no ordinary person. At such a young age, he had already reached this level, undoubtedly making him the foremost among alchemists in the Cultivation World!

At this moment, Elder Wang held Ding Fan's refined medicine pills in his hands, looking at them repeatedly as if they were a piece of art. Since the pills refined were of Grade Nine, they were clearly equivalent to a work of art, even more valuable than ordinary art. Such supreme quality medicine pills were highly coveted even by cultivators in the distraction stage.
