"Ding ding!"

Meanwhile, the third match made progress again.

The Alchemist Alliance and the Central Plains Spirit Medicine Sect simultaneously finished their alchemy sessions.

Two batches of Grade 6 elixirs floated out.

The alchemist of the Spirit Medicine Sect was a gaunt old man with a withered face, deep-set eyes, and pupils like will-o'-the-wisps.

He glanced at Xu Chang'an with a sinister look and said sarcastically, "The pills you refined lack spiritual power, but their taste can calm the mind. They must be auxiliary pills, similar to spirit-nourishing pills. The pills I refined, however, can enhance the combat power of a Celestial Venerable cultivator in a short time, focusing on killing! Both are sixth-grade pills, but you have already lost!"

Upon hearing this, the spirits of all the elders and disciples of the Alchemist Alliance plummeted!

Gongsun Zhusha's expression turned even more unpleasant.

It's not a big deal that the Alchemist Alliance lost to the Divine Pill Pavilion and the Medicine King Valley, but failing to even make it into the top three in this competition and actually falling to fourth place is like a slap in the face to all the alchemists in the alliance, leaving a burning pain.

Sikong Yao's eyes were sinister as he said with disgust, "I told you long ago that Xu Chang'an is unreliable. What right does a mere sixth-grade alchemist have to serve as an elder of the alliance! It's all Xu Chang'an's fault for making our Alchemist Alliance lose face. I suggest that the alliance leader expel him from the Alchemist Alliance and never employ him again!"

Behind Gongsun Zhusha, besides a group of alchemist alliance elders, was a graceful woman with her face veiled in purple gauze.

This woman is the Holy Maiden of the Alchemist Alliance and the only daughter of Gongsun Zhusha. She has already reached the rank of Divine Alchemist at a young age!

It was this very saintess who personally went to the State of Qi to bring Xu Chang'an to the Alchemist Alliance and recommended him for the position of elder.

Upon hearing Sikong Yao's words, the Holy Maiden frowned and said coldly, "Elder Sikong, victory and defeat are common occurrences in war. Didn't you only get third place? Although Elder Xu is only a sixth-grade alchemist, his ability to compile new pill formulas is rare in the entire alchemist world. Why do you have such great malice towards him?"

"So what if I meant bad luck?"

Sikong Yao said coldly, "Although I only got third place, in all these years, which year has the Alchemist Alliance not ranked third in the overall results? Although I did not make any contributions, I have at least not made any mistakes, right? But Xu Chang'an made the Alchemist Alliance fall from the top three to fourth place and lose to the mere Spirit Medicine Sect. Isn't that a serious offense?"

"you……"

Before the Holy Maiden could say anything more, Gongsun Zhusha erupted.

"Stop arguing!"

Gongsun Zhusha said sternly, "Isn't losing the competition enough to be humiliating? You still have to fight amongst yourselves in Neijiang. Aren't you ashamed of yourselves!"

Sikong Yao snorted coldly and said no more.

But his words undoubtedly placed Xu Chang'an in the position of a sinner in the alliance.

Even if Alliance Leader Gongsun doesn't blame Xu Chang'an after the competition ends, the elders and disciples in the alliance will no longer like Xu Chang'an.

It can be said that Xu Chang'an's path in the Alchemist Alliance has almost come to an end.

Despite being ostracized in every way, Xu Chang'an will eventually have to leave on his own. Sikong Yao has achieved his goal!

The powerful figures from the Southern Territory all sighed.

Since the battle of the Demon City, the nine major forces of the Southern Heaven Alliance have become interdependent, sharing both prosperity and adversity.

The Alchemist Alliance lost face on home turf, not only losing to the Divine Pill Pavilion and Medicine King Valley, but also to the Central Plains Spirit Medicine Sect. These powerful figures from the Southern Region also lost face.

While everyone in the Southern Territory was feeling down, Xiahou Baiyi and Baili Qiu were beaming with pride.

Since the Eternal Sword Sect and the Southern Realm have already broken off relations, they don't mind using this Alchemist Conference to thoroughly dampen the Southern Realm's spirits on the eve of the great battle!
