Battle Through the Heavens: Clan Leader, I'm sorry, now I just want to be a good person.

Glancing at Xiao Fan's steadily progressing refining process, Xiao Yan took a deep breath. He couldn't afford to fall too far behind his senior brother!

On the other side, Han Xian saw Xiao Fan fail and smiled gloatingly, secretly mocking Xiao Yan for deserving it, completely forgetting his own defeat just now.

"Is Brother Xiao Yan alright?"

Inside the Pan Gate, Hu Jia and the others couldn't help but feel worried when they saw Xiao Yan's first attempt at refining the artifact fail.

"Don't worry, I believe in Brother Xiao Yan." Xun'er glanced at Xiao Yan's still calm expression and said calmly, then continued to stare at him intently.

As for Yueyao, she still looked at Xiao Fan with admiration. The way he refined pills was so smooth and skillful that Yueyao wished she could rush up and sit next to him to examine him closely.

Xiao Fan ignored the changes in the outside world and carefully controlled the changes inside the medicine cauldron. He had already extracted more than twenty kinds of medicinal materials. The medicinal liquid inside was fused and ever-changing. Even with Xiao Fan's soul perception, he had to carefully control the temperature inside.

If we fail again at this point, all our previous efforts will be wasted, and we'll have to start all over again.

Having experienced failure the first time, Xiao Yan was extremely cautious during his second attempt at refining the pills. While refining the medicinal herbs, he carefully reviewed the pill formula in his mind to prevent himself from making the same mistake again. So focused was he that he even forgot he was competing against Han Xian.

As time slowly passed, nearly half an hour later, accompanied by a muffled rustling sound, Han Xian's expression suddenly changed drastically. The medicinal liquid in his cauldron had been ruined again during the fusion process.

"Damn it, this is the last chance!"

Han Xian gritted his teeth, glanced at Xiao Yan's medicine cauldron with a grim expression, then took a deep breath to calm himself down.

While he was trying to calm himself down, Xiao Fan's refining process was nearing its end. As the last ingredient was thrown into the cauldron, even Xiao Fan became extremely focused, carefully controlling the changes within it.

Unbeknownst to him, a crack, no larger than a hair, had quietly appeared at the bottom of the cauldron under the intense heat of the strange fire...

"Xiao Fan's pills are almost ready!"

The fluctuations within Xiao Fan's cauldron naturally did not escape the notice of the students watching below, not to mention that there were quite a few disciples from the alchemy department among them.

Everyone was surprised to see that Xiao Fan was about to complete the pill in one go.

"This... I know Xiao Fan is very skilled at alchemy, but this is a fifth-grade pill..." Hu Jia, sitting below the stage, listened to the exclamations of the surrounding crowd and stared at Xiao Fan in disbelief. "Strong in strength is one thing, but his alchemy skills are also this amazing?"

"Brother Xiao Fan... is indeed unexpected." Xun'er nodded in agreement, her tone full of admiration, before glancing worriedly at Xiao Yan on the other side of the stands.

As for Yueyao, she had always had confidence in Xiao Fan, so in her opinion, it was perfectly normal for Xiao Fan to refine a fifth-grade pill.

Unlike the girls' thoughts, there were also members of the Medicine Gang among the audience.

Noticing the movement inside Xiao Fan's medicine cauldron, someone said sarcastically, "What's with the arrogance? He hasn't even finished refining it yet. You should know that the fluctuations emitted by a fifth-grade pill are not simple. Let's wait until he actually refines the finished pill before we talk!"

“That’s right. Besides, it was Xiao Yan who made the bet with Senior Han Xian. Xiao Fan made it clear before he went on stage that even if he succeeds in refining it, it won’t affect the bet between the Medicine Clan and the Panmen.”

At first, everyone thought that Xiao Fan was just greedy for the recipe and ingredients for a fifth-grade pill, and they didn't take his pill-refining attempt seriously at all. However, they didn't expect that Xiao Fan's first attempt at refining pills would almost succeed, even though Xiao Yan and Han Xian both failed once.
