Just as Kang Shen said, Ning Zhishui was a Xuan-level alchemist before, but later he went into seclusion for the Immortal Grass Society.
When my cultivation level improved and I caught up with the exchange meeting, I was so busy that I completely forgot about the badge.
Under normal circumstances, registration for the Xiancao Club requires a badge as proof, but Ning Zhishui is an exception.
Her situation was special, and she had used the "back door" of the General Dan Association, so her name appeared in the final list submitted by Jiang Baizhou.
Because of the tight time schedule, both Ning Zhishui and the people from Jiang Baizhou's General Dan Association had completely forgotten about this most basic condition.
If Kang Shen hadn't brought it up, they probably wouldn't have thought of it.
Because the badge is such a basic condition, looking back at the past Xiancao Club, this situation has almost never occurred -
Even alchemists with badges can’t last more than a few rounds, let alone those without badges!
But now there happens to be a weirdo like Ning Zhishui.
After hearing Ning Zhishui's personal admission, many people had an idea in their minds -
Are you kidding me?!
He is the number one, but he says he doesn’t have any local badge?
The person without a badge got first place, which made those who didn't get a place look like little idiots.
"Is this true? President Wang, as the president of Jiang Baizhou, what do you have to say about this?"
The president of Mo Xuanzhou was stunned for a moment, and then he became ecstatic.
Isn't this a case of light at the end of the tunnel? I thought I was doomed to be humiliated, but I didn't expect someone to come and give me my head.
Without the badge, what’s the point of joining the Xiancao Club?
He intended to be ruthless and make a big fuss about this matter, making sure that Jiang Baizhou would never be able to hold his head up again.
In the past few days of the Immortal Grass Conference, Mo Xuanzhou was almost suppressed to the point where they couldn't raise their heads. Now, the opportunity for revenge has finally come.
President Wang had a gloomy face. His previous pride and joy seemed to have been poured with a basin of ice water, completely gone.
“Ah, this…”
He was just trying to figure out how to save the situation when he saw everyone else attacking him.
"That's right, Jiang Baizhou, this is too much!"
"As the president, you actually allow your alchemists to participate in the Immortal Grass Conference without a badge. Isn't this throwing the rules to the wind? It's truly outrageous!"
"There's only one person who's been discovered, and who knows how many more remain undiscovered! I suggest a thorough investigation to see if the other Jiang Baizhou alchemists have the same problem!"
"Yes, if the situation is serious, then I think Jiang Baizhou doesn't need to participate in the Immortal Grass Association in the future. Otherwise, if they continue to disobey the rules, won't it be a mess?"
…
The people on the stage were talking at the same time, and President Wang was almost pushed into a corner.
His face flushed red, and he didn't dare to say a word, but in his heart he was secretly cursing these old guys -
You dogs, are you starting to bite back now? What about when you were pressed down by Ning Zhishui and couldn't even lift your head?
What if I don’t have a badge? I can still be number one without a badge!
So what if you have badges? You are still far behind Ning Zhishui and you can’t catch up even if you try your best!
President Wang was making circles in his mind while looking at Ning Zhishui.
Alas, what a pity that such a genius stopped at such trivial details.
President Wang also felt a little guilty. He would not blame Ning Zhishui, but only blame himself for forgetting to remind Ning Zhishui.
She forgot what was normal. After all, she was young, and she spent her time on preparation. She also had to teach those eight people... How could she do both at the same time?
It would be better if I reminded myself. Then I could go through the process quickly and it would not be difficult to get a badge temporarily.
I just hope this genius's mentality doesn't collapse because of the invalidation of his results. At worst, he can start over again next time...
Just as he was thinking this, he met Ning Zhishui's gaze.
Her eyes were still calm, without panic or regret, only composure and... determination!
President Wang was stunned.
Just when he was wondering, he saw Ning Zhishui winking at him.
President Shu Wang didn't understand what it meant exactly, but he could tell that Ning Zhishui was not panicked.
Suddenly, he relaxed.
"...Therefore, all of Ning Zhishui's results for this Immortal Herb Conference are invalid and no longer have any reference value." Mo Xuanzhou's Alchemy Association President said with a smile, "Then discard her ranking, and the rest of you will proceed in order..."
"Void? Why?"
Ning Zhishui interrupted him.
This made President Mo Xuanzhou sneer, "Why? Tell me why! You don't even have the qualifications to participate, so you naturally shouldn't have a ranking."
"That's wrong. Although I don't have a badge, I'm not unqualified to participate." Ning Zhishui smiled.
The people on the stage looked at each other, all confused.
"What do you mean? If you have something to say, then speak clearly."
President Cang Qingzhou said coldly, thinking that she was still unaware of her repentance even when she was about to die, and was still being stubborn.
"President Chen, if I can get the badge right now, will the results of this competition count?" Ning Zhishui asked.
"What do you mean by asking this?" President Mo Xuanzhou was puzzled.
She clearly didn't have a badge, so what was the point of asking such a question?
Is she going to create a badge? Or...borrow someone else's?
Thinking of this, President Chen of Mo Xuanzhou quickly added, "If you can produce your own badge right now, then your results will naturally count, but do you have it?"
Ning Zhishui's smile widened a little, and he looked at him with a meaningful look, "President Chen... are you willing to take responsibility for what you said?"
"Of course I'm responsible, but I also want to make it clear that the badge must be yours. If it's someone else's or you borrowed it, it doesn't count."
"Of course." Ning Zhishui nodded, then turned to the others, "Excuse me, everyone, do you agree with what President Chen said?"
Her gaze was still directed at the leader of the Danwang Sect, the president of Cangqingzhou, and some other seniors standing on the stage.
Because only what these people say counts, it’s useless even if others agree.
After she asked this question, these people just felt strange.
It's really confusing. What's the point of her asking this question?
But since she had asked in public, they couldn't help but answer. After thinking about it, they nodded, "That's right. As long as you can take it out now and don't lend it to others, then it counts."
Seeing that they all nodded and no one objected, Ning Zhishui pursed his lips and said, "In that case, I'll take up a little of your time. Please wait for a moment."
After saying that, she walked towards Meng Cheng and asked a question.
Meng Cheng was also confused by her behavior, but after hearing her question, he nodded and took out some things from his Qiankun bag and gave them to her.
