The audience was somewhat surprised when Elder Hao announced the rules.

"They don't even know the question themselves?"

"That's what makes it interesting! Nobody knows the competition questions, which prevents them from preparing in advance. This way, the competition will truly reveal their abilities!"

"I wonder who will win. Han Xian's alchemy skills are quite impressive!"

"You think Xiao Yan is simple? You should know that the pills that the Panmen are currently offering are far more potent than those from the Medicine Gang..."

"Alright, please come in, you two!"

Ignoring the chattering crowd below, Elder Hao exchanged a quiet glance with several elders hidden in the crowd, nodded, and then spoke.

As Elder Hao finished speaking, Xiao Yan and Han Xian stepped onto the stands and stood on either side.

"These are the questions for this competition. Who wants to look at them first?" Elder Hao asked with a smile as he looked at the two people standing there. He took out a scroll, held it in his hand, and asked them.

"Then please go first, Senior Han Xian!" Xiao Yan nodded to Han Xian and said. Han Xian did not refuse. It was better to know the questions sooner so that he would have more time to prepare.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Han Xian stepped forward and took the scroll from Elder Hao's hand. His expression immediately turned ugly, making everyone realize that the questions Elder Hao had prepared were probably not simple. Otherwise, Han Xian would not have such an expression.

Having digested the contents of the pill formula, Han Xian walked back to his seat with a grim expression, his brows furrowed tightly as he looked at Xiao Yan opposite him.

Seeing Han Xian's performance, Xiao Yan knew that the question would probably be very difficult. He then examined the prescription information on the scroll in Elder Hao's hand.

After reviewing the prescription, Xiao Yan frowned, his expression turning serious and grave.

"Hmph, keep pretending. Let's see how you can keep up the act."

Seeing Xiao Yan's expression, Han Xian believed that it was just Xiao Yan putting on an act to attract everyone's attention.

Once the refining process begins, Xiao Yan's feigned composure will naturally crumble.

After Xiao Yan digested the prescription, he rubbed his temples and looked at Elder Hao with a helpless expression, saying, "Elder Hao, you really think highly of us. This Dragon Power Pill is a fifth-grade pill. Even a fifth-grade alchemist who knows how to kill wouldn't necessarily be confident in refining it, right?"

"What?! A fifth-grade pill!"

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, the crowd finally understood why Han Xian had such a grim expression after examining the prescription. Although he was a peak fourth-grade alchemist, the probability of him refining a fifth-grade pill was extremely low.

A fifth-grade alchemist is someone even powerful figures at the Dou Wang or Dou Huang level would treat with respect.

If a sect were to choose between a Battle King or a Rank 5 Alchemist, most would probably choose the Rank 5 Alchemist. After all, what makes alchemists terrifying is not only their strength, but also their network of connections.

The assistance that a fifth-grade alchemist can provide is enough to make all Dou Wangs tremble with fear, and even the influence of some Dou Huang powerhouses may not be comparable.

"Hehe." After hearing Xiao Yan's words, Elder Hao still had a chuckling expression. "I'm giving you this prescription for free. A prescription for a fifth-grade pill is considered precious anywhere. You should be secretly happy to have it for your competition."

"In this competition, I will provide each of you with three portions of medicinal herbs for refining, free of charge. The winner will be determined by the quality of the pills you each refine."

"What if they all fail to refine them?" Han Xian interjected. "After all, refining fifth-grade pills is difficult, and it's not guaranteed that they can be successfully refined."
