When the competition entered the third day, the results of the medical and pharmacological competitions from the previous two days had been announced. Baihua and Shennong were neck and neck, winning first place in the two competitions respectively. The difference was that in the other competition, Shennong performed more stably, so he scored one more point than Baihua and temporarily ranked first with a score of 17 points.
Following Baihua with 16 points are Danyang with 15 points and Yuqing with 13 points. Then there are Bihai, Yinyuetang and Jixue with 12 points each. Yanyu Pavilion has 10 points. Tianyin Sect follows closely behind with 9 points. Finally, Mingdao Tower, which is still not good at medicine, is at the bottom of these two items with 7 points.
Of course, just looking at the scores of these two items doesn’t mean anything.
Shennong, Baihua and Danyang, these three sects themselves use medicine, medicine and alchemy as the main methods of cultivation. Especially Baihua and Danyang, they only accept female disciples and do not consider their talents. Therefore, their martial arts level is far behind other major sects. It can be said that apart from the alchemy method, they can still fight for some points. In the rest of the competitions, they are basically destined to just slack off.
Among the remaining sects, those that still maintain an upper-middle level include Yuqing, which is wealthy and powerful, with a wealth of talents, and can compete in various projects. Although Bihai and Yinyuetang are two good guys, they can maintain neutrality and hold on to the position of the good guys, so their strength is naturally not too bad.
Therefore, the most surprising thing about this competition was the accumulation of snow.
Tu Nian had been training hard with Xu Ziqiao the day before. Apart from practicing, he just ate and slept, and basically had no communication with anyone in the sect. When he saw the sect's battle record today, he was surprised and happy.
There are few people in Jixue, and there are only a few medical practitioners and medicine practitioners. Among them are some old disciples who are too old to compete. Therefore, in these two competitions, there are actually only Ding Rong and Qin An participating in Jixue.
But even so, they still achieved good results among a group of talented opponents.
The quality of the disciples is more important than the number! The snow is indeed worthy of its name.
"You're so hidden, Senior Sister!"
There was still some time before the formation drawing, so Tu Nian was waiting by the stands and took the opportunity to pull Qin An over to have some fun.
Isn't this a treasure for her? A quiet beauty with excellent medicinal skills may not kill men, but she will definitely kill women.
Seeing her cheerful look, Song Chengming curled his lips and said, "I was just saying that. Qin An showed his prowess yesterday and was able to hold his own against quite a few Shennongs. But you, on the other hand, didn't even come, let alone watch."
"Yes, it's a waste of An An's wonderful performance." Luo Zhan immediately agreed.
"What's wrong with being blind? Stop talking nonsense, the two of you."
Qin An glanced at the two men with a stern look, then took Tu Nian's hand and said with concern, "I heard from Song Chengming that you were a little upset the other day. How are you? Will you be able to compete later?"
Squeezing her soft palm, Tu Nian smiled and said, "That must work."
Song Chengming refused to give in and teased her, "Let's put things in perspective. We've all remembered that you didn't encourage Qin An yesterday. If you don't come back with a grand slam today to apologize, we'll see if we can forgive you..."
"What are you talking about!"
Tu Nian stopped him with a slightly embarrassed look, met his puzzled gaze, and glanced to the side, "At least pay attention to the occasion."
Letting her achieve a grand slam in front of the Bi Hai Sect next door, which specializes in formations, isn't this like showing off one's sword in front of Guan Gong, only to be slapped in the face?
Song Chengming suddenly realized and quickly shut up.
However, this was the time when all the sects were gathering to take their seats, and there were crowds of people coming and going. Even if he kept quiet now, his previous words still fell into the ears of others.
"Who is this? He keeps talking about grand slams. He's so arrogant, aren't he afraid of getting his tongue blown away by the wind?"
Several disciples of the Bi Hai Sect arrived late. When they heard Song Chengming's words, they immediately surrounded him.
Since Tu Nian entered the Golden Core stage, he could usually discern the strength of those whose cultivation was lower than his own at a glance. At first glance, he could see that the visitors were all below the Golden Core stage, but they were all arrogant. At first glance, all he could see were their chins and a pair of black nostrils.
No matter which sect, there are always a few people like this who are not very powerful but are very good at taking advantage of others. For the sake of Xue Shiqian and Fang Yuan, Tu Nian did not intend to conflict with them and took the initiative to give in, saying, "He likes to brag. It's just a joke. Don't take it to heart, fellow Taoists."
Although Tu Nian stayed in the Bihai Gate for more than half a month, she spent most of the time learning formations with Fang Yuan and did not often appear in the sight of the outer disciples. They had never seen her and thought she was just an ordinary cultivator. Naturally, they would not let her off just because of her light words of weakness.
"Oh, it's covered with snow."
Someone recognized Tu Nian's Taoist robe. The cultivator next to him, whose robe was slightly darker and had gold thread on the cuffs, laughed sarcastically upon hearing this. "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten that there was an extra person, Jixue, in this year's competition. This small sect has been silent for so many years, and I don't know what they're doing jumping around."
The other man folded his arms and snorted disdainfully, "Yeah, they're even threatening to win the Grand Slam. With you, Brother Yang, I don't think finishing last is their limit."
The man with the gold-threaded sleeves, known as "Brother Yang," smiled noncommittally, then lowered his eyelids, took a step forward, and looked down at Tu Nian, "Pray you don't run into me, or else I'll show you the difference between heaven and earth."
"Tu Nian?"
Fang Yuan was at the end of Bi Hai's team, leading the sect's reference disciples to draw lots. He turned around and saw the sect's most troublesome disciples surrounding Tu Nian. He immediately knew that something was wrong, and after settling a few reference disciples, he came over directly.
