Gongsun Zhusha's expression immediately turned ugly.

However, as the host, Gongsun Zhusha was unhappy, but she couldn't say a single harsh word. She could only stare at Sikong Yao with a gloomy face, hoping that Sikong Yao could win second place and bring honor to the Alchemist Alliance.

"It's done!"

At this moment, three more alchemists in the square successfully refined three batches of grade nine pills.

Everyone turned to look.

The alchemist who came in second place was dressed in a magnificent blue robe; he was an alchemist from the Medicine King Valley in the Western Regions!

"It's done!"

As soon as the alchemist in his magnificent robe finished his work, Sikong Yao also stopped what he was doing.

Although he successfully secured third place, Sikong Yao was far from happy, his gaze turning extremely gloomy.

He rushed as fast as he could, sweating profusely, all to bring glory to the Alchemist Alliance, but in the end, he was still a step behind Medicine King Valley.

Although there were 103 alchemy factions participating in the second competition, everyone knew that the top three positions would always be reserved for the three top alchemy factions. These three factions were not competing for the top three, but for the first and second place.

"Tsk tsk! Just a little bit more, just a little bit more!"

The old man in red robes sighed, "Alliance Leader Gongsun, we know that your Alchemist Alliance is the host, but you can't be so accommodating to us guests, can you? We, the Divine Pill Pavilion and the Western Region Medicine King Valley, will feel bad about it!"

As he spoke, the old man in red robes looked at the leader of Medicine King Valley and said, "Valley Master Hong, I thought our alchemists from Divine Pill Pavilion were ignorant, but I didn't expect your Medicine King Valley alchemists to be just as ignorant! Now look what's happened, the host country has taken third place, how embarrassing will this be if word gets out? How will the people of the Alchemist Alliance walk in the cultivation world in the future? Won't they be laughed at behind their backs?"

The leader of the Western Region Medicine King Valley is named Hong Qiqi. She is a gentle and refined young woman with a scholarly air. She took over as Valley Master from the old Medicine King three years ago and is the only female leader among all the alchemy forces in the entire cultivation world.

In the past, when the Alchemist Conference was held in the cultivation world, the Divine Pill Pavilion and the Alchemist Alliance were always at odds, because in the eyes of the people of Zhongzhou, the Southern Territory was a group of uncivilized barbarians.

The Western Regions Medicine King Valley has always remained neutral in this regard, neither supporting the Divine Pill Pavilion nor the Alchemist Alliance.

But this year is different.

In the battle of Yumo City, Lin Sixin, the young master of the Tiandi Chamber of Commerce, led the powerful warriors of Shenfeng Hall to aid the Southern Territory!

The information revealed in this matter requires Medicine King Valley to carefully consider it.

After all, Medicine King Valley is located in the Western Regions, and the Lin family of the Heaven and Earth Chamber of Commerce is the most powerful force in the Western Regions, the supreme overlord, whose position is unshakable. In fact, Medicine King Valley's ability to grow and become a top force in alchemy is inseparable from the support of the Heaven and Earth Chamber of Commerce.

If the Heaven and Earth Chamber of Commerce is inclined to side with the Southern Territory, then Medicine King Valley needs to consider whether it should continue to remain neutral.

Seeing the red-robed old man seize the opportunity to mock the Alchemist Alliance, not only did Gongsun Zhusha's face darken to the point of being almost dripping with water, but the other eight powerful figures from the Southern Heaven Alliance also looked rather grim.

It is common knowledge that the Divine Pill Pavilion is a lackey of the Eternal Sword Sect.

The battle at Demon City was orchestrated entirely by the Eternal Sword Sect.

It can be said that the Southern Border has a deep-seated blood feud with the Eternal Sword Sect and the Divine Pill Pavilion.

In this situation, for the Divine Pill Pavilion to still point fingers at the Alchemist Alliance and hurl insults is tantamount to slapping the entire Southern Territory in the face.
