Everyone was shocked and looked at each other, with discussions breaking out one after another.
You know, in previous alchemy competitions, there has never been a situation where the jury poached people on the spot.
What’s more, the person who came forward to invite him this time was actually the most famous alchemy master of Tianxin Empire!
This is the first time such a thing has ever happened.
After hearing this, Lu Jingzhi was slightly stunned and obviously a little surprised.
But he quickly came to his senses and clasped his hands together, "Thank you for your kindness, Senior. However, I already have a master, so I really cannot agree to your request. I hope you will forgive me."
His tone was firm and sincere, not wavering at all because of the status of the person in front of him.
"What? The master was rejected!" Someone couldn't help but exclaim.
"Oh my god, this kid is so ungrateful!" another person shouted indignantly.
"Oh my, such a great opportunity was missed in vain. Aren't we closing the road to the peak of our life with our own hands?" Others sighed with grief.
For a moment, the audience was in chaos, with all kinds of exclamations, regrets, and accusations intertwined together, and the scene became extremely noisy and chaotic.
At this moment, the emperor who had been sitting on the high platform watching the battle finally couldn't bear it anymore. He stood up suddenly and his majestic voice resounded throughout the venue.
"Everyone, please keep quiet and do not interfere with the normal competition of other contestants."
With the emperor's order, the originally noisy audience gradually quieted down.
However, occasionally some low whispers could be heard, which was enough to prove that the audience was still unable to calm down.
Lu Jingzhi stood there with a face full of shame, muttering to himself: "Why is everyone more excited than me?"
At this moment, the middle-aged man showed obvious disappointment on his face, and muttered to himself: "Whatever, whatever."
Then, he reluctantly handed the pill in his hand to the next person for inspection.
After receiving the pills, everyone praised them highly. Some people even gave them extremely high scores ranging from nine to ten points without hesitation.
Next, it was the turn of the eldest prince and the second princess to show off the pills they had refined.
Although they were holding top-grade elixirs, due to Lu Jingzhi's stunning opening, everyone did not show much admiration for the two men's achievements.
Lu Jingzhi flew to Yan An's side and sat down leisurely.
His eyes were fixed on Danyu who was refining the elixir.
At this moment, Danyu has completed most of the steps, leaving only the last crucial step - condensing the pill.
At this moment, Lu Xiaoya came over excitedly and said to Lu Jingzhi, "Cousin, I didn't expect you to be so powerful!"
Hearing this, Lu Jingzhi immediately showed a smug smile on his face. He waved his hand modestly and said, "Oh, low-key, low-key."
However, from his excited expression, it can be seen that he was actually already very happy in his heart.
Yan An, who was standing by, smiled slightly and teased deliberately, "Look at how confident you are. I guess you should be very confident in the next round, right?"
Hearing this, Lu Jingzhi felt as if a basin of ice-cold water was poured on him, extinguishing his previous smug expression.
He couldn't help but reach out and touch his nose, a hint of embarrassment appearing on his face.
"Uh... I'm actually not very confident! Is this sixth-grade elixir particularly difficult to refine?"
"It's not bad, it's just that the required medicinal materials are relatively difficult to refine, and during the refining process, the reaction between soul power and energy will be more intense."
Lu Jingzhi widened his eyes and asked curiously, "How difficult is it?"
Yan An paused, thought for a moment, and then replied, "It's not too difficult. It's just that compared to a fifth-grade elixir, it's probably about twice as difficult."
"I...I'll try my best."
As the refining work of the last few people was completed, the second round of the competition, which lasted for two full days, finally came to an end.
After fierce competition, only 20 people out of the original 60 contestants successfully advanced to the third round.
Among these twenty people, the most favored and those with the greatest chance of winning are the eldest prince and the second princess.
The two of them performed outstandingly from beginning to end, and both their alchemy skills and control over medicinal materials were first-class.
However, in addition to the eldest prince and the second princess, there are two other contestants who are equally eye-catching - the woman with short blue hair from the Tiannv Sect and Lu Jingzhi.
Danyu, who had successfully advanced, now had a face as pale as paper.
She dragged her heavy feet and slowly returned to the high clouds.
At this moment, Ye Wu quickly stepped forward and said, "Miss Dan, let me help you."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hands and supported Danyu's shaky body.
When the big hand accidentally touched her buttocks, Danyu's pretty face turned red and she slapped his hand away.
"Humph! This young master doesn't need your help!"
Danyu snorted coquettishly, then walked to the chair made of clouds and sat down.
The soft seat gave people an extremely comfortable feeling, which made Danyu's muscles all over his body relax greatly in an instant, and his fatigue was also reduced a lot.
Ye Wu grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Good intentions are really not rewarded. They actually took my kindness for granted."
At this moment, Danyu's eyebrows were raised, her eyes were wide open, and she was waving her small and exquisite fists, looking puffed up. "Try to say it to me again if you dare."
"Believe it or not, this young master will beat you up right now, huh!"
