Tianjian Sect's meeting hall.
After the alchemy competition ended, the alchemy elders with great attainments from various sects gathered here to grade and evaluate the pills made by today's contestants.
In order to avoid objections, each elder in charge of the selection process is equipped with a photo stone in front of his seat to record the selection process in case someone is dissatisfied with the evaluation results.
Bottles of pills were presented, inspected by the first alchemy elder, and then passed on to the next.
Although many pills can be rated just by smelling their fragrance and looking at how full they are, everyone still carefully checks each bottle of pills.
After all, the alchemy practice in Dongyuan Continent is in decline nowadays. If we can select some good seedlings for training from the competition, it would be worth the trip.
"Brother Hongyu, do you have any good-quality elixirs?"
Master Hongyu carefully evaluated the bottle of elixir in front of him. Without even looking up, he replied, "I haven't found any elixir that will catch my eye yet..."
As the chief elder of the Tianjian Sect and the guest elder of the Danyao Hall, Master Hong Yu’s words always carry great weight.
So as soon as these words were spoken, a series of sighs were heard in the hall.
"After several consecutive attempts, not a single good seedling has emerged. Is it really fate that will destroy our alchemy lineage?"
As soon as Master Wen Kang of the Beast Taming Sect finished speaking, he frowned as he took the pill, looked at it, put it back on the tray, and began to write his review.
It’s not that he wants to speak ill of the Dan Xiu lineage, but after experiencing so many unfulfilled expectations, he can’t help but feel a little discouraged.
Seeing the atmosphere in the hall grow more solemn, Taoist Pu Yu from the Weapon Refining Sect changed the subject by asking, "Do you know why that old man Hongyi didn't come this year?"
When he heard the word "Hongyi", Master Hongyu snorted in his heart. Others might not know, but he knew it very well!
That old man Hongyi had some kind of luck, but he got a recipe for an elixir from somewhere and actually succeeded in refining an elixir that could increase lifespan.
He really did great things quietly and left his old friend behind.
It makes me angry just thinking about it!
As his long-time friend, I didn't expect to learn about this from the headmaster...
However, after glancing at the others who were still in the dark, Master Hongyu felt a little comforted.
After all, only one bottle of the elixir of immortality has been sent to the Tianjian Sect so far, and the other sects don’t even know the news!
With many thoughts running through his mind, Master Hongyu casually replied, "Maybe he's out of spirit stones."
After these sarcastic remarks were made, the atmosphere eased a little.
"Fourth-grade elixir?"
Elder Yuxing, who was in charge of the first round of screening, shouted in surprise. She poured all the pills in the bottle onto the tray, "And they are all top-grade pills!"
Upon hearing this, several elders became excited and swarmed around her to look at the pills on the tray.
"If I'm not mistaken, the disciple who refined this pill can probably refine a higher grade one."
"Are you saying that this disciple is intentionally hiding his abilities?"
"That's exactly what I mean!"
Master Wen Kang smacked his lips and said, "Others are eager to stand out, but this disciple is so..."
Elder Yuxing raised an eyebrow. "It's said that in a world of crows, even swans are guilty. I think this disciple is quite clear-headed."
There is an old saying: A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind; a person who is superior to others will be criticized by the crowd.
There are many people with ugly minds in this world, so it is okay to be cautious.
"This is the highest grade of elixirs so far."
After putting down the pill, Master Hongyu concluded that there would be another competition next. If this disciple could refine a higher-grade pill, he would definitely bring him to the pill hall to train him well.
Unfortunately, I don't know which sect he belongs to. It seems I can only wait for the selection results to come out...
The next day.
After refining the last batch of pills, Ji Yao stood up and slowly poured a cup of spiritual tea to moisten his throat. As soon as he put down the teacup, he vaguely heard hurried footsteps coming from outside the door.
Her ears twitched slightly, and she tilted her head to look at the closed door with an ambiguous expression, and curled her lips slightly.
Just by listening to the footsteps, one can guess how flustered and irritated the person is...
Tsk, I wonder which big enemy he is looking for.
After a few breaths, there was a series of knocks on the door.
Ji Yao was sitting casually on the chair when his body suddenly stiffened. It turned out that he was the one who was wronged?
She shouted outside impatiently, "Who are you? Tell me your name."
There was silence outside the door for a moment.
"Junior Sister Ji, it's me!"
Hey, isn’t this Liang Wenyan, the scapegoat who was beaten up by me yesterday?
No one comes to see me for no reason. Why are you in such a hurry to see me?
Still want to fight?
After stretching his joints, Ji Yao stood up and walked to the door to open it. When he looked up, he saw Liang Wenyan, who had recovered as usual, pacing back and forth outside the door with an anxious look on his face.
"Hey, what wind brought Senior Brother Liang here? Is it the northwest wind?"
Liang Wenyan, with a pale face, saw Ji Yao at this moment as if he saw a savior shining with holy light.
He stepped forward and wanted to grab Ji Yao, but after taking two steps, he suddenly stopped and then stepped back slightly to his original position.
The result of getting close without permission yesterday was a sudden punch, and he didn't want to be so humiliated again today.
After he stood still, Liang Wenyan glanced evasively at the female cultivator in front of him, then hesitantly asked, "Junior sister, junior sister, did you see anything strange on me yesterday?"
The tone was so panicked, mixed with a hint of vigilance and suspicion...
Is this because you finally discovered that your system is missing?
What a pity, his system has long been digested without leaving any residue...
