Ye Chong simply comforted Ye Xinlan briefly and went straight to Xiao Yan and Xiao Xue.

The smile on his face almost wrinkled his old face, and his eyes became just a slit. If one didn't know what kind of person Ye Zhong was, one would probably think he was a kind-hearted person.

"Elder Ye, if you have anything to say, let's go back and talk!"

Xiao Xue knew very well what Ye Zhong was going to do next. Wasn't it just a compliment? How hypocritical! If she still advanced on time, or if she failed directly, she didn't know what kind of treatment she would get.

Before Ye Zhong could respond, Xiao Xue took Ahri and walked straight out of the viewing area, leaving Ye Zhong standing there awkwardly.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan knew why Xiao Xue treated Ye Zhong the way she did, and hurriedly explained, "Elder Ye, my sister is probably tired. She didn't get enough rest last night because of today's game."

Although Xiao Yan was not very fond of Ye Chong, if it weren't for the Ye family owning the Ancient Yang Fire Altar, he would really not want to deal with Ye Chong.

"It's okay. Miss Xiao is doing this for the Ye family. You should have a good rest. We are not considerate enough."

Ye Chong said that, but he didn't really think that way, so the group didn't say anything else.

Looking at Xiao Xue's graceful retreating back, Cao Ying stared at her with a fierce gaze.

"Yinger."

Cao Ying heard the shouting, came to her senses, and saw her father looking at her.

Cao Ying hurriedly forced out a smile: "Dad, what's wrong?"

"Ying'er, what are you looking at? Is that Xiao Xue?"

At this time, Xiao Xue's figure had long disappeared. Cao Ying did not answer her father's question, but Cao Ying's father could naturally see what Cao Ying was thinking.

"Ying'er, it's just a qualifying match. As long as you beat her in the finals, you will still be the number one young alchemy genius in the Dan Domain."

Encouraged by her father, Cao Ying nodded vigorously, and in her mind, defeating Xiao Xue was her top priority in the final.

After a day of rest, Ye Zhong asked Ye Xinlan to find Xiao Yan and Xiao Xue.

Compared with the previous treatment, it was like two completely different people. Of course, this only applied to Xiao Xue. He was very polite to Xiao Yan from beginning to end.

"I asked you two to come here today because I have something to discuss."

Ye Zhong was very polite and smiled the whole time, for fear of offending Xiao Xue and causing them to not participate in the competition.

Ye Chong learned from Ye Xinlan that Xiao Yan would always listen to Xiao Xue. If Xiao Xue did not participate in the finals, Xiao Yan might give up. Then the Ye family would become a laughing stock among the five major families.

In fact, Ye Zhong was worrying too much. Xiao Xue was not the kind of petty person, and she would not give up the competition because of such factors.

It's just that some people will reflect others with their own ideas.

"Elder Ye, please speak!"

"Perhaps you don't know the rules of the finals. Based on my observations over the years, each finals requires the major families to prepare their own herbs. So I invited you here this time to ask you what level of elixir you are going to refine, so that I can prepare it for you."

Ye Zhong, feeling uneasy, hinted that in the finals he would prepare herbs based on his own strength, and at the same time he wanted to get specific information about their strength from Xiao Yan and Xiao Xue.

Xiao Yan and Xiao Xue looked at each other and quickly reached a consensus.

"Elder Ye, Xin Lan told us about this last night. Now Cao Ying of the Cao family and Dan Chen of the Dan family are both eighth-grade alchemists. The Ye family can only refine eighth-grade pills if they want to win first place, so I have discussed it with my little sister. In the finals, my little sister and I will both refine eighth-grade pills."

Hearing this, Ye Zhong was so overjoyed that he couldn't express it in words, and he almost jumped up and down with joy.

However, due to face, he still restrained himself a little.

"Okay, just."

"Just what?"

“The highest quality of the herbs we prepared before this trip is only enough to refine seventh-grade intermediate elixirs.” Ye Zhong had indeed not thought that Xiao Yan and Xiao Xue could refine elixirs of higher grades.

Ye Xinlan saw Ye Zhong's awkward situation. She had previously held reservations about Xiao Yan and Xiao Xue's abilities.

She didn't even think about Xiao Yan. Xiao Xue was able to refine eighth-grade elixirs. In Ye Xinlan's mind, seventh-grade high-level elixirs were already the limit.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yan mentioned an eighth-grade elixir as soon as he opened his mouth, which caught Ye Zhong, who was not fully prepared, off guard.

This also completely exposed Xiao Yan and Xiao Xue's strength to other families. There was no need to wait until the finals.

"Well, Xiao Yan, Xiao Xue, don't be grandpa. Even I can't believe that you have such strength, but don't worry, I will go buy the herbs."

There were only four days left and there was no time to go out and pick the herbs, but it was enough for Xiao Yan to get the eighth-grade primary elixirs he needed.

As for the herb that he wanted to use to refine the eighth-grade advanced elixir, there was still one kind missing, which needed to be purchased.

However, this is to help the Ye family, why should I pay for it myself? Unless I can't buy it, I won't be a sucker.

"Xinlan, why don't you go with them so they can buy whatever they need. Here's the money they need."

Ye Xinlan took the storage ring from Ye Zhong, but Xiao Xue said there was no rush and she would wait until the last day.

After all, the Cao family and the Dan family both have eighth-grade alchemists, and they will prepare it themselves. As for the Bai family and the Qiu family, they are simply unable to refine eighth-grade pills and can only give up the herbs needed for the eighth-grade pills.

"Why is that?" Ye Xinlan didn't quite understand what Xiao Xue said.

Xiao Yan explained: "I am afraid of exposing my strength too early. After all, this is the competition site. The five major families must have their own spies in the herb purchasing area."

"I understand. Xiao Xue, what's wrong with your brain? You're really smart."

"Don't praise me!" Xiao Xue also laughed out loud, which was rare.

As the last day of the competition approached, Xiao Xue, Xiao Yan, Ye Xinlan and Ah Li went out early.

As expected, as soon as the four of them left the Ye family's rest area, someone followed them secretly.

But he quickly got rid of the two people who were following him. It's true. Why did people keep targeting him after he just stood out once?
The four of them made a long detour before heading straight to the medicinal herb purchasing area. The scale of the trading market was beyond the understanding of Xiao Xue and the others.

Compared to the trading market of the Gama Empire Alchemist Association, it's really a grandson's market.

The herbs inside are at least what is needed for a fourth-grade elixir. There is no comparison at all. Perhaps this is what they mean by there is no harm without comparison.

After searching around outside, he didn't find the herbs he needed, but he did find one that Xiao Yan needed.

The four of them continued walking towards the trading center. The closer they got to the inside, the more precious the herbs on the trading market became.

Some rare medicinal herbs were placed in the trading area. The cultivation base of each of these people was not low, and the ones guarding the gate were all Dou Zong.

Suddenly, Xiao Yan and Xiao Xue's eyes lit up, and an incomplete map appeared in front of them.

Xiao Yan and Xiao Xue reached out to take the map at the same time. At this moment, one of their hands also touched the map.
