If I live forever, everyone thinks I am invincible

"You came here mainly to talk to me about Jiang Yunchen, right?"

"Why didn't you say these things to me during our first conversation?" Chen Chang'an asked with a smile.

"I was just killing time anyway, nothing to do, so I came over to chat."

"It's pointless to tell others, not to tell you."

"Forget it, there's no point in talking about Jiang Yunchen's matter, and even if we guessed it, it wouldn't make a difference."

"He's been hiding in the shadows, and we have no idea what he's plotting."

"What I'm more curious about now is what the next list will be?"

"Could it be weapon crafting?"

"Is this still the case?"

"It's somewhat boring and tedious."

Clearly, the current rankings don't interest Murong Wenjie much; they are indeed rather boring.

Because they are...too strong!

"Who knows? Apart from the Zhang family, no one can know in advance what the next list will be."

"The alchemy ranking isn't over yet, just wait and see."

"It's no different from the end now. Never mind, I'll head back first."

"Don't forget our agreement."

"rest assured."

After Murong Wenjie left, Chen Chang'an lay down on the ground. There was still some time before the alchemy ranking ended, a rather boring time.

Before long, Mu Yunyao and the others returned. Seeing the undisguised excitement in Zhang Ergou's eyes, Chen Chang'an knew that her strength must have improved.

"How is it? The effect is quite good?" Chen Chang'an asked with a smile.

"very good."

“My current cultivation level is the fifth level of the Emperor Realm. In the past, I even had difficulty defeating Ren Aotian.”

"But just now, we found a monster at the seventh level of the Emperor Realm and easily dealt with it."

"This increase in combat power is not as simple as doubling or tripling."

"It feels like I can finally stand alongside you monsters."

"I've always felt out of place with you guys because I'm not twisted enough."

Zhang Ergou's sudden outburst of words showed just how excited she was, but something about what she was saying seemed off.

Are you sure you're complimenting us?

Do you think just anyone can become a psychopath?

"You don't understand the allure of becoming what others call a pervert."

"Because you are a pervert yourself."

"Okay, stop talking. I understand how you feel, but I don't like being a pervert."

"But the problem is, why is it that only your combat power has increased? We haven't felt anything."

Mu Yunyao looked at Chen Chang'an with some doubt. This situation was indeed quite strange. Everyone took the same pills. Out of the five people, only one person changed, while the other four did not change at all.

After Mu Yunyao finished speaking, the joy on Zhang Ergou's face vanished instantly.

"Why do I feel like I'm the one who got the short end of the stick?"

"Your results are due to this energy being used in more crucial areas."

"And I... only used it to increase my combat power?"

"This……"

"Will I be deprived of my chance to break through to the Dominator Realm?"

"So... should I be happy that it worked?"

Hearing Zhang Ergou's words, Chen Chang'an smiled and said, "It's good that it's effective."

"As for whether it will affect your breakthrough to the Dominator Realm, that's not something you need to consider or worry about right now."

"Alright, there's still time, let's cultivate and wait."

"Otherwise, time will be too slow."

After Chen Chang'an finished speaking, he immediately immersed himself in cultivation.

Since Chen Chang'an and the others started cultivating, the rankings of alchemy have undergone some changes.

Alchemy Ranking

First place: Qibaoge, Points: 390,000

Second place: Outsiders Alliance, Points: 25,000

Third place: Hall of Eternity, Points: 5 points

Fourth place: Holy Emperor Gate, Points: 3

Fifth place: Daoyuan Sect, points: 3

Sixth place: Tianfumen, points: 3

Despite some changes, the people of the Eternal Palace worked their hardest and ultimately managed to get five points, successfully achieving a commendable third place.

Although... the people of the Eternal Palace were not very satisfied with this result, they were helpless.

"It's alright. No matter what, being on the list means there's a chance. It's good that I wasn't eliminated directly."

"This shows that the pills in the alchemy secret realm must be very difficult to refine, it's not their fault."

"Yes, it's already great to be on the list."

"We're working on the next list."

Compared to the anger of the Eternal Palace, the three hidden sects were more open-minded and did not show much negative emotion.

After the alchemy realm closed and the alchemy ranking ended, Chen Chang'an and the others flew out of the realm.

Upon seeing his people return, the Lord of the Eternal Palace immediately asked, "How did it go? Where are the pills you refined? What kind of pills are they?"

Upon hearing the words of the Eternal Palace Master, the alchemists of the Eternal Palace also looked somewhat embarrassed.

"We are refining the Qi-Boosting Pill."

"This pill is very difficult to refine, and the recipe does not include the refining steps, so it is very difficult."

"Moreover, beneath each of the spiritual herbs used in this refining process lies a monster with formidable strength."

"besides……"

"Stop, stop, stop! I know you've had a tough time, but what I'm asking is, where are the pills?"

"Um... I ate it."

"have eaten?"

"You ate it all?"

"We haven't been able to refine many pills in total. We want to test how effective these pills are, since they're not recorded in the recipe."

"And then? What are the effects?"

"Since it has no effect, we suspect that this is just a pill prepared for the rankings, only used to increase points, and has no medicinal effect."

No effect?

"Are you sure the pill really has no effect?"

"Definitely and definitely."

Seeing how certain they were, the Lord of the Eternal Palace sighed helplessly.

"So be it. We won't get promoted, and neither will they. Hmph, what's the use of having more points? In the end, we won't get any benefits."

"They advanced, and so did we."

"Yes, yes, the Palace Master is right."

"I don't know when the next list will be released."

At this moment, everyone in Eternal City looked up at the sky, waiting for the next list to appear.

"Won't it be announced in three days again?"

"possible."

"As expected, it will be announced in three days."

Why announce it three days later?

"Is it possible that these three days were a hint to the Zhang family?"

"Ok?"

"Oh right, how could we forget about the Zhang family?"

"Because... they have such a low profile, they've become like decorations, which makes everyone overlook the Zhang family."

"Isn't this a way to reduce trouble?"

"But now, I'm afraid this kind of trouble may not decrease."

"Look, the people from the Eternal Palace seem to be heading in the direction of the Zhang family."
