and the others, "Hurry back and raise the money for me. If you don't come up with all 6 million yuan, this isn't over."Ouyang Shan knew that the trouble today was too big, but she had always been a me...Bai Li Hongjun got up from the ground, looking utterly confused.

"Where did I go I've been with the master all this time, and haven't been anywhere else."

Páng Yuán calmed down a little, realizing something was amiss, and asked, "What are you talking about What's going on"

"That's how it is, adults..."

The steward recounted the entire incident from beginning to end, finally stating, "It was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who informed us of the situation, and that's why we rushed over to assist."

After hearing this, Bai Li Hongjun looked dumbfounded and shook his head repeatedly: “That couldn’t be me. I’ve been here the whole time and haven’t left.”

Pang Yuan, having seen a lot and known many people, quickly understood the key point after a moment's thought.

"Fake! That prince must be fake! He's probably just pretending, tricking you all into coming here so he could run away."

"Uh..."

Now those two in charge were stunned, they never expected this to happen.

Pang Yuankui yelled in frustration, "What are you all standing around for Chase after him immediately! We must catch that kid!"

Then he poured more qi into his body, and roared at the surroundings: “All of you just stand still obediently, no one is allowed to move, or I will treat you as enemies!”

I have to say, his move was very effective. The crowd that had been chaotic just a moment ago immediately stopped in their tracks, closed their mouths, and not a single person dared to make a sound.

Today's events have escalated out of control. That boy just fought the Crown Prince, people from the Jiuxing Sect, and even ended up fighting the head administrator from Taixu Palace. This mess has gone straight to the heavens.

Thinking about the consequences, many people get goosebumps, and no one wants to be associated with the other party.

Everyone else stopped, and the scene immediately became much clearer. Pang Yuan led everyone quickly towards the exit.

When they arrived, there was nobody at the door. Everyone who could run had already fled, and those who couldn't were huddled inside the dojo, frozen in fear.

Several officials looked around, but there was no trace of the fake prince anywhere.

"He must have run! All of you, go after him! Whoever brings that boy back to me will be handsomely rewarded by the Tai Xu Palace!"

At Pang Yuan's command, the surrounding cultivators sprang into action.

They all rushed out of the door, their cultivation instantly recovering. Each one was incredibly powerful, with a range of cultivation levels from Mahayana to Nascent Soul.

These people were all searching densely around, hoping to catch the troublemaker and make a great contribution by bringing him back before the Taixu Palace.

Pang Yuan also stepped out, coming to mid-air. His cultivation instantly recovered to the peak of the Void Cave Realm, his powerful divine sense sweeping outwards like flowing mercury.

It's a pity that with his divine sense, he could only scan up to ten miles, but now Ye Bufan was already far beyond that range, and he had changed his appearance and aura. Even if he found him, he wouldn't recognize him.

After working hard for most of the day, everyone came up empty-handed, finding nothing at all.

Pang Yuan's face darkened to the extreme. He had originally thought that this matter would be easy to handle, he could help Bai Li Hongjun by the way, and he could also reap a large amount of benefits for himself.

Now it's all for nothing. I got beaten up but didn't get anything else. This is typical of a situation where both the chicken and the egg are lost. I'm afraid if word gets out, I'll be punished by those in charge.

But there's no way around it, things have happened and you can't escape them.

In the Tai Xu Palace, a middle-aged man in black stood respectfully before a robed figure in purple.

"Elder, I just received news that something happened at the Fair Path of the Holy Dragon Empire..."

The man in black summarized the events briefly and succinctly, staying largely true to the facts with minimal deviation.

"This Pang Yuan is so bold, he actually dared to disobey the rules I set and brought shame upon the Taixu Palace."

The purple-robed man's voice sounded peaceful yet carried an unapproachable majesty.

The man in black asked, "Elder, how should we handle this"

"Pang Yuan acted recklessly and caused shame to the sect. He should be brought back and executed according to the sect rules."

The Purple Robed man's voice was icy, "Furthermore, you must thoroughly investigate the other Daoist grounds and find out who has the audacity to provoke even my Taixu Palace."

"Yes!"

The man in black replied with a grunt and walked out.

All of this happened later, and Ye Bufan was unaware of it.

After leaving the Fairground, he raced all the way back to the imperial city of the Holy Dragon Empire.

At this moment, he changed his appearance once more. He was neither Prince Bai Li Hong Jun nor his former self; instead, he was just an ordinary-looking young man who blended into the crowd and entered the city.

He shifted positions several times, making sure no one was following him, before returning to the station and resuming his normal appearance.

No wonder he's so careful, the tenth-order Holy Gate is no joke. Just a casual tribulation period expert could overwhelm them completely.

This time, if he hadn't been fully prepared, he was certain that no one would have known his true identity, and he definitely wouldn't have dared to provoke the Tai Xu Palace.

After returning, he told everyone to keep secret about his visit to the Fair Path Temple and then began preparing for the upcoming competition.

The first thing he needed to do was fire up the furnace and start refining pills. With the competition approaching, the most important thing was to help everyone improve their cultivation levels.

Cultivation-enhancing pills have a tolerance effect on cultivators. After taking one, the effect of taking another within a short period will be significantly reduced.

In this case, the best way to continue improving cultivation rapidly is to take different kinds of pills.

He had insufficient medicinal herbs before, but this time after going to a fair at the Daoist Temple once, he has gathered all the medicinal herbs needed for alchemy.

The first furnace he forged was a seventh-rank elixir called the Heavenly Union Pill.

This kind of pill has the same effect as the previous He Ling Dan, both helping cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage to improve their cultivation. However, it is more effective and higher grade, requiring even more precious raw materials.

Now that he had all the necessary herbs, he added a bit of the three-colored ice spirit ginseng king to the concoction during the refining process, instantly pushing the efficacy to its peak.

An hour later, two furnaces of pills were finished, and he began to refine the eighth-grade pill, Xuyuan Dan.

Just like the Xu Yuan Dan, the Ju Ling Dan is a spiritual medicine that helps cultivators in the Dongxu period improve their cultivation. However, the materials required are rare and precious, so it is not commonly seen on ordinary days.

Two furnaces of pills had been refined again. Ye Bufan adjusted his state to its best before beginning to refine the ninth-grade pill, Tiancheng Dan.

Now his mental strength has reached the level of a great monk, and he can begin to refine ninth-grade pills.

Half an hour later, a rich fragrance of dan drifted everywhere, followed by nine pills falling into the jade bottle in his hand.

Then he took out the beast soul grass and refined another batch of beast soul pills.

After refining all the pills, Ye Bufan called everyone in, including Ximen Feng and Mu Xiaoyun.

The Elder of Jiuzhan Xian Gong has been very kind to him, and this time the news about the Fair Daoist Assembly came from her. By the way, it's also appropriate to help improve his cultivation.

He soon distributed the pills, one for each person. The students from Shuimu University remained indifferent, as they were accustomed to taking pills refined by Ye Bufan.

But Xi Men Feng was different. She held the Tian Cheng Dan, which shimmered with gold patterns, in her hand, and shock was written all over her face.

"Master Ye, is this for me"knowing what to say.Ye Bufan completely ignored what he said next and said directly: "Now, immediately kneel down and apologize to this aunt, compensate for the mental damage fee, and then call the po...
