Ning Zhishui knew that those people would never allow such a result to happen, so they would definitely come up with more ideas.
People who are used to being domineering are unwilling to be inferior to others, not to mention that they have always looked down on Jiang Baizhou.
Meng Cheng hummed, "That's right. Tomorrow is the last day of the competition. They will come up with other tricks."
"Who's afraid of them? Just bring them over! After all, the test is for alchemists from the three continents, not just our continent."
"That's right, I'm not afraid!"
"Didn't their best efforts have no effect? They changed it today, but in the end, aren't we still ahead?"
No one panicked.
Ning Zhishui said, "Although it's not directed at us, we don't have the same innate conditions as them in some aspects, so we should still take action early."
As soon as she said this, everyone fell silent.
"Do you have an idea?" Meng Cheng asked.
"I was just imagining how I would change the exam questions if I were them," Ning Zhishui pondered. "Speaking of alchemy, I've already tried a lot of different methods over the past three days. If I were to change it again, what could I change?"
I still have to refine the elixir tomorrow. Even if I change it again, it will not exceed this range, but what can I change it to?
"The alchemy process is nothing more than selecting herbs, starting the furnace, refining, and collecting the pills." Someone said, "It doesn't seem like there's much to it, right?"
"They've already tried selecting herbs today," an alchemist said. "Aren't those similar herbs the right ones?"
For example, the black locust grass that Ning Zhishui was using today was deliberately replaced with the black locust root to increase the difficulty.
"Then there can be no mistakes in the furnace opening process, right?"
"Perhaps the alchemy furnace will be tampered with tomorrow!"
"It's really possible. For example, they don't allow us to use our own alchemy furnace, but use those common ones!"
Everyone participated in the discussion on their own initiative.
"That makes sense. Write it down."
"What about the refining process? You can't tamper with it, right?"
"may be……"
Ning Zhishui reminded him, "Not necessarily. For example, they could interfere with our refining process by making a loud noise or emitting an unusual smell, causing a disturbance."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. "Is this even possible?"
"Of course, eliminating distractions and focusing on cultivation is a compulsory course for all cultivators, isn't it?"
"That makes sense, keep going."
…
After a while, spies from the other two continents found out about the situation in Qingfengyuan.
"How is it? Are they still refining the elixir?"
"No, they were chatting and discussing something today, not refining the elixir."
"Did you hear what was being discussed?"
"We were standing high up and watching from a distance, so we couldn't hear clearly. But when we tried to get closer, we only heard things like 'mistake' and 'tampering'."
"Tsk, are they afraid of making mistakes tomorrow, so they want to make changes in advance? This is big news, quickly report it to the president!"
"yes!"
"Humph, I told you there was something fishy about their grades. It's a shame I didn't make their words public. Otherwise, I would have ruined their reputation and told them to get out of the Xiancao Club!"
…
On the last day of the Xiancao Conference, there were obviously more people coming to the Danwang Zongguan Conference.
Because today is the key day to determine the rankings. The distribution of rankings determines the status of the alchemists in the three continents, and also affects the distribution of medicinal resources in the three continents.
So on the last day, all the important people who could come came, just to witness the final event with their own eyes.
Similarly, they also heard some rumors that the distribution of the immortal herbs this time would be unfair and there might be cheating, so they showed up in person to supervise.
They can't control what happened before, but the competition on the last day must be fair and just, especially the top three in each grade, there must not be any water in the slightest!
Otherwise, this Xiancao Association is doomed to become a joke, and they will also be accused of poor supervision.
"Just like yesterday, there are some minor adjustments to today's competition."
Luo Huai stepped forward, laughing. He was much more natural than yesterday, now that things were familiar. "But I think no one will mind, because the changed rules apply to all of you alchemists. As long as you are strong enough, you won't be afraid of these things."
The alchemists below were whispering to each other, but no one raised any objections.
With Sect Master Luo's words spoken first, who would dare to object? It made it seem as if the person who spoke up was afraid because he wasn't strong enough.
"The first change today is the alchemy furnace." Luo Huai said unexpectedly, "In the past, everyone used their own alchemy furnaces. The quality of these alchemy furnaces was uneven, and it was difficult to see their true level. So today we will all use a unified alchemy furnace. Please see--"
Luo Huai pointed to a place, and everyone looked up and saw rows of pitch-black alchemy furnaces placed there.
The alchemy furnace is plain and ordinary, the most common type on the market, and also the cheapest.
This kind of furnace has almost no extra benefits for alchemy, nor does it have any fancy functions.
The moment they saw it, all the alchemists showed stunned expressions, followed by frowns with deep hatred.
Some of the big guys standing on the stage looked towards Jiang Baizhou deliberately, and after noticing their astonished expressions, they smiled with satisfaction.
Didn’t expect that?
What I want is that you haven’t thought of it. Otherwise, if I let you continue to make changes, it would be so unfair to the other two continents!
Jiang Baizhou's alchemists were suppressing their excitement of "guessing the question correctly" in their hearts, while secretly rejoicing: Did I pretend well?
Ning Zhishui explained yesterday—
"Even if our speculation today comes true, we'll have to feign shock tomorrow. Otherwise, people will inevitably think we got the news in advance. We want to avoid unnecessary trouble the best we can."
It was precisely because of this that even though they wanted to burst out laughing when they saw these alchemy furnaces, they still held back and deliberately showed shocked expressions.
In fact, the acting of several people in the film is really bad. You can see that they are trying very hard to act shocked, but they just can't suppress the upturned corners of their lips...
But fortunately, no one suspected that they were acting and no one thought about it at all.
After explaining the changes, all the alchemists came on stage and each received a furnace for the next alchemy.
The alchemists from Cang Qingzhou and Mo Xuanzhou received the pills very casually. After taking one, they turned around and left. However, the alchemist from Jiang Baizhou was completely different.
They seem to be very casual, but in fact they are being picky.
What we choose is not the appearance, but the function——
"If the alchemy furnace is really replaced, then everyone must first check it after receiving it to make sure it is intact and there are no problems with use before using it to refine the alchemy. Otherwise, replace it in time to avoid delaying the competition."
