Although he tried his best to show his gentlest side, his innate strong aura and deep and sharp eyes still made Guan Mu and Guan Lin feel frightened and their bodies trembled involuntarily.
Seeing the two people's horrified reactions, An Zeyan couldn't help but reveal a hint of disappointment. He sighed softly, "Sigh... the good image I've worked so hard to maintain over the past few years seems to have been completely shattered today."
After saying that, he shook his head helplessly, with a hint of loneliness and self-mockery in his eyes.
At this moment, Guan Muxi on the side suddenly couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Her bright big eyes curved into crescent shapes, and her face was filled with an innocent smile, as if she was completely unaware of the tense and depressing atmosphere at the scene.
At the same time, the highly anticipated alchemy competition has finally officially begun!
The rules of this competition are actually quite simple and clear - contestants only need to successfully refine a first-level pill within the specified time to successfully advance to the next round of competition.
It is worth mentioning that all the precious medicinal materials, rare elixirs and other materials needed for this alchemy competition are jointly provided by the five major sects.
Not only that, a considerable part of it came from the contribution of Youlan City.
Because of the abundant and high-quality raw materials, those who successfully refine the pills can choose to sell them to other demanders at a relatively low price if they wish.
Or you can directly entrust the elixir to an auction house for auction and sale;
Of course, if the contestants prefer to keep the fruits of their hard work, they only need to pay the corresponding cost of the medicinal materials according to the regulations.
Moreover, the price of medicinal materials charged here is much more favorable than the normal selling price in the outside market!
The venue for the alchemy competition was divided into several areas, and competitions were held simultaneously in these areas.
Because the time it takes to refine the elixir varies from person to person, some are long and some are short.
Among them, the area where Guan Muxi and others were located was more spacious than other areas. This was also the final venue for the alchemy competition, so they did not need to change locations frequently.
Following a loud shout, "The Alchemy Competition has officially begun. All alchemists, please come on stage and choose your preferred position!"
The voice came from a highly respected elder of Danzong who was responsible for maintaining order at the scene.
The elder stood there calmly, with one hand lazily behind his back and the other hand gently stroking the long beard on his chin.
His slightly raised eyes glanced casually at the people who were preparing to go on stage, as if he didn't care too much about these contestants.
I saw many contestants stepping onto the stage in an orderly manner, but at this moment, the scene suddenly became a little chaotic.
It turned out that some people started pushing each other in order to get a seat in the front row close to the Danzong elder.
After all, it would undoubtedly be a rare opportunity for these contestants to have close contact with this highly respected elder and have the honor of receiving his personal teachings.
In comparison, Guan Muxi and her second senior sister seemed much calmer and composed.
They didn't rush like the others, but sat quietly in their seats, patiently waiting for the crowd to enter the ring one after another.
After most people were in place, they slowly stood up from their seats and walked lightly towards the edge of the competition venue.
At this time, the people from Tianyi Sect who came to watch the fight saw Guan Muxi taking action, and their eyes were drawn over.
One of them exclaimed in surprise, "Look! That little girl is the one who fainted during the competition a few days ago!"
Another person immediately chimed in, "Right! I never thought she'd show up to participate in the alchemy competition again today. Could it be that she's also proficient in alchemy?"
Someone nearby shook their head, expressing doubt. "That's unlikely. She's an outstanding beastmaster, and her own cultivation is so formidable. Her daily focus on cultivation must consume a great deal of energy. How could she have the leisure time to delve into alchemy?"
Finally, someone else expressed their opinion: "In my opinion, she might just be here to join in the fun. But the woman next to her looks quite the expert. She might be a hidden leader!"
The master, who looked like a master, frowned slightly at this moment and asked Guan Muxi with a puzzled look on his face: "Sixth Junior Sister, come and take a look, do I have any wrinkles on my face?"
As she spoke, she unconsciously stroked her cheek with her fingers, as if she was very concerned about this issue.
Upon hearing this, Guan Muxi hurried forward and looked at him carefully.
I saw that the second senior sister's face was as white as snow, and her skin was so delicate that it seemed like water could be squeezed out of it. It was as smooth and delicate as the skin of a newborn baby, and as tender as a baby's.
After observing it for a moment, Guan Muxi smiled and replied, "Second Senior Sister, you're joking! With your stunning beauty, how could you have wrinkles? Besides, everyone knows that your alchemy skills are top-notch!"
Hearing this, the Second Senior Sister was startled at first, then the corners of her mouth lifted up, revealing a confident smile: "Haha, that's true! My alchemy skills are not just boasting."
However, she immediately turned worried and whispered, "Even so, I always feel like those people in the audience are always staring at us. I don't know why..."
After saying this, she signaled to the audience with her eyes.
Guan Muxi followed the Second Senior Sister's gaze and saw that everyone's attention was indeed focused on them.
She turned around, winked playfully, and said to Second Senior Sister, "Oh, Second Senior Sister, is there even a need to ask? It's because you're so beautiful that you've attracted so many people's attention."
Second Senior Sister blushed immediately after being praised by Guan Muxi. She quickly stretched out her hands to cover her cheeks and said coquettishly, "Aiya, Sixth Junior Sister~ You only know how to make fun of me."
Although she said this, she was actually very happy in her heart, and her shy and cute appearance made people feel pity for her.
At this moment, a young medicine boy came up to the two of them with light steps, holding an exquisite tray steadily in his hands.
The herbalist looked serious and said softly, "Please stop whispering, both of you. Hurry and select the herbs you need. The competition is about to begin!"
