There is a beautiful woman in the north
Contestant progress loading...
Of the four locations, Bai Tian chose her direction purely based on intuition.
Generally speaking, girls' intuition is very accurate.
She walked north, and along the way, she didn't see anything strange.
Besides the herbs she was more familiar with.
She comes from Danxin Peak and grew up there, so she is very familiar with the herbs growing there.
He also dabbled in other herbs.
Furthermore, Bai Tian has an elite appearance, is quite intelligent, and has her own feelings about everything.
Wherever she goes, whatever she sees, difficulties never defeat her; on the contrary, she quite enjoys hardships.
"Hmm? Maybe this is a trap set specifically for her?"
It's not impossible.
With so many participants, she was just one of the few and naturally didn't want to waste her time.
But as she walked up the stone steps, the scenery was vast. She lowered her eyes, seemingly lost in thought.
Flowers and plants always struggle to survive in the cracks, and this time is no exception.
She looked at a small flower growing in a crack, silently walked around it, and then continued climbing upwards.
There is nothing that perseverance cannot overcome; she has always believed in such stories, which may be innocent, but are true.
When the shy flower proctor appeared next to Bai Hanxin, she was taken aback.
She hadn't expected the other person to be refining pills, so she had no choice but to wait patiently.
When faced with the girl embarking on the journey, Xiuhua hesitated. She should announce the rules, but she had no problem with it.
Silence cannot solve the problems that girls need.
This time, it was merely a contest between the two strongest alchemists from Danxin Peak, and also a test of their knowledge of herbs and their endurance and resilience in the face of changing times.
Xiuhua followed Bai Hanxin's rhythm step by step, neither too fast nor too slow. By the time she realized what was happening, Bai Hanxin had already prepared everything.
The herbs in Bai Hanxin's hand were familiar to everyone present. They were the most basic medicinal materials, and the simplest planting methods were enough to support a large number of resilient little medicinal herbs.
However, the treatment was not very effective.
Xiuhua spoke first, "I am Xiuhua, the proctor for this exam. What can I do for you?"
When Bai Hanxin heard Xiuhua call her, she turned around and smiled, saying calmly, "I have some thoughts on this competition."
"This time, don't interfere; let me handle it."
Shy Flower was shocked, Shy Flower was silent, Shy Flower agreed.
Xiuhua looked at Bai Hanxin, who was standing in the light, in silence. She moved nimbly and held a brightly colored pill in her hand, which looked like a colorful candy.
"Shy Flower?"
As a discerning person who had seen much since childhood in Danxin Peak, she had something to say that she was unsure whether she should or shouldn't.
Shyly, facing the test in her heart, she stammered, "Will you win by relying on the color and rainbow-like shape of this pill?"
Bai Hanxin “………………”
The shy proctor seemed to have an unusually unconventional way of thinking, and for a moment, even Bai Hanxin was led astray.
Bai Han thought for a while and then told the truth, "I originally planned to have a real competition with her in alchemy. But you're right, I'll consider whether I can make use of what I have."
Bai Hanxin emphasized the word "true".
The moment Xiuhua realized she had spoken out of turn, she shut her mouth.
But, listening to Bai Hanxin speak, she panicked a little.
It's like the guilt of messing things up and ruining something good.
Xiuhua is the most imaginative girl among the four examiners.
But she braced herself and finished her last sentence: "You, do as you please, don't worry about what we have to say."
Putting aside Xiuhua's inappropriate remarks, everything has gotten back on track.
Use fair and aboveboard methods to conduct a fair and open competition, instead of simply "reusing" something that looks like a brightly colored, eye-catching little candy.
With her trust in her family, Xiuhua gradually became completely at ease in front of Bai Hanxin, to the point of giving him complete peace of mind.
The person before her didn't say a word, but their actions were professional, and their strength was somewhat assessed. However, as a top-tier alchemist in one-on-one combat on this peak, she could sense the professionalism of this high-caliber individual.
Bai Hanxin spoke again, intending to remind her to call the person over, but Xiuhua glanced at her and received the signal, then looked at her with affectionate eyes, turning back every step of the way.
Bai Hanxin.
Is this signal correct?
Bai Hanxin smiled.
When Bai Tian saw Xiu Hua, her eyes held a hint of curiosity.
Xiuhua thought to herself, "...Is this...right?"
If a normal person is in an empty place and suddenly sees someone rapidly and purposefully walking towards them, what would their first thought be?
It's probably fear.
Xiuhua ignored the bright-eyed contestants in front of her and explained the rules, which were slightly different from those in the other three locations.
As the proctor for this session, Xiuhua has the authority to set the rules based on the chief examiner's instructions.
It may seem like the Heavenly Generals are in charge, but in reality, it's uncertain who holds the real power.
Xiu Hua wasn't standing directly in front of Bai Tian. Bai Tian was on her way to the test, while Xiu Hua was there in person. The difference was that she had an advantage. Xiu Hua used her proctor abilities to pull Bai Tian into the same dimension to relay the message, and in this space, there were only her and Bai Tian.
Bai Tian: "...It seems like we're whispering to each other."
Her eyes flickered slightly as she pondered what kind of problems might arise.
But no matter what, Bai Tian felt that this was the test that best suited her.
I have a feeling that I have some inexplicable overlap with a certain young master of the music industry.
The eldest son of the Qu family said, "Don't mention it."
The skill activation time of Xiuhua is not long.
When she arrived, she had prepared many different explanations in her mind, but when she finally spoke, she only said dryly, "The examiner wants to test your alchemy skills, and I will be responsible for your safety."
Bai Tian asked, "So, where is that person?"
Shy Flower: "...beside you."
Bai Tian didn't smile, and her voice was devoid of emotion as she said, "So, the other party was following her invisibly."
She looked at the flowers and plants on the steps and the herbs on the opposite bank, and her lips curled upwards as if unsurprisingly.
"We look forward to your arrival." Bai Tian bowed respectfully from afar.
Bai Hanxin, who was watching from behind the scenes, was puzzled. When Xiuhua told the truth, Bai Hanxin gave her a deep look, then closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
Her heart fluttered with shyness. "...No, don't scare me. Waaah!"
Bai Han was troubled and couldn't sleep.
She got up and walked towards Bai Tian's side.
As Xiuhua saw Bai Hanxin set off, she gradually realized that she seemed to have misunderstood something.
While she was reflecting on herself, Bai Hanxin, with that face that said "Everyone owes me eight million," walked up to Bai Tian.
Bai Hanxin was driving a speedboat, but for Bai Tian, as soon as she returned, she saw a girl dressed in a light blue dress come up in front of her.
Bai Tian suddenly realized, "She is the examiner who will compete against her."
Without hesitation, she asked directly, "What kind of pills are we refining?"
Bai Hanxin skipped over a thousand on/off buttons in her mind, seemingly missing the crucial information.
However, Bai Hanxin remained focused on refining pills. As a qualified alchemist, she was no less capable than the other alchemists from Danxin Peak.
"Hello, my surname is Bai, and my given name is Hanxin. You can call me Hanxin." Bai Hanxin humbly and politely introduced himself first.
"As for the girl in front of me, I don't know, but she has her methods."
Bai Hanxin was about to call Xiuhua out, but Bai Tian said her own name without hesitation.
Bai Hanxin thought, "?! That saves me some trouble."
She added in her mind, "So self-aware. I like it."
Xiuhua felt as if someone was talking about her.
She sat in the pure white space and muttered to herself, "Strange."
Bai Hanxin continued, "We will only make one universal antidote pill, in unlimited quantities, more or less. As for the formula, we will use the one I gave you."
"Perhaps this is your opportunity to make money."
Bai Tian understood the first sentence, but after the competition, she thoughtfully reviewed Bai Hanxin's words and the content of her assessment.
They tacitly kept a secret.
Bai Hanxin spoke concisely and quickly arranged the necessary medicinal herbs. As for the prescription, Bai Tian had already obtained it immediately.
Bai Tian: "OK."
A loyal heart, the heart of an alchemist.
In Danxin, almost everyone has three alchemy furnaces. Those with only one alchemy furnace are a very small group, and within this unique group, Bai Hanxin and Bai Tian are two distinct individuals who are the only ones with one furnace.
"You must grasp the core of Danxin, instead of repeatedly refining crude and shoddy things." Bai Tian's master is a hidden master.
Although the master usually appears somewhat unkempt, his martial arts skills are enough to leave many ordinary people far behind.
But she's all talk; she only lives off the living expenses Bai Tian gives her.
She didn't spend much, just a few ounces of wine each day.
Bai Tian's master is from Danxin Peak, but she calls herself a "hooligan". When no one paid any attention to her, she was arrogant and confident and wandered the mortal world. Bai Tian, as someone who loves to listen to stories, is genuinely curious about the stories she tells.
Bai Tian is willing to pay a material price for the existence of these stories.
Like a daytime when you're not alone because of love.
In her own words, "Without her, she would probably have been a lonely person forever."
As Bai Hanxin turned Bai Tian's thoughts back, she quickly prepared half a batch of food.
"Sweet and innocent!"
She quickly got up and started working.
The movements were very fluid and seamless.
Like a child who has been through countless trials and tribulations.
Bai Hanxin thought subconsciously.
But she won't show mercy; instead, she will give her a glimmer of hope.
"You need to pay close attention. Everything has a detailed step. The level of detail depends on the finished product and production cost. Putting everything else aside, the experience of thousands of failures is to pave the way for that one moment of success. However, success can be dazzling. All the efforts you have made will remain with success. Try to refine more pill formulas while preserving as much as possible to increase the success rate."
Bai Hanxin acted like an ignorant child, casually telling her answer to the other child.
She knew perfectly well that she, too, wanted to give this girl a try.
After all, everyone has their own methods, and only through communication can these methods be continued and passed down.
Bai Tian took Bai Hanxin’s long sentence to heart.
She blinked.
"If it's about guaranteeing a 100% success rate, it requires all the right timing, location, and people. And if that timeframe happens at a specific moment, then waiting is just a boring part of the process. Some people will practice diligently, trying to get a feel for the success rate. But all this preparation is for that one moment. Perhaps it's a bit foolish, but if the final result is good enough, then isn't all the previous effort worthwhile?"
The last sentence came from her heart.
Bai Tian was refining a new pill formula for the first time, but it went surprisingly smoothly compared to before.
Bai Hanxin thought to herself, "This is a simpler version that I've improved."
Looking at the girl in front of him who was persevering despite the difficulties, Bai Hanxin said frankly, "Yes, but the difference is different. One is the process, and the other is the result. When a thousand people have a thousand different interpretations, any answer is just one's own exploration of the road ahead."
The long road will eventually come to an end. And the end will lead to endless questions for those who come after to explore, a hundred flowers blooming, and each flower is indispensable, none of them appearing by chance, and then suddenly disappearing into the endless.
They chatted while their hands kept moving, clearly indicating that both of them had practiced quite a bit.
Bai Hanxin met the girl from Tongfeng who asked her a question for the first time.
There was naturally a lot of chatting.
Similarly, the content often contains metaphors.
"Can I refine it?" Bai Tian asked.
"Can I pass the level?"
Bai Hanxin looked up at the person with clear eyes.
She didn't want to at first, but later she just didn't care anymore.
The change began when Xiu Hua mentioned the rainbow-candy-like pill she had refined.
"She's better at making her way in her own field than talking to her peers!"
Bai Hanxin replied directly with a single click, "What do you think?"
But in the end, who can't be a charmer without being silent?
A complaint from a certain child named Bai.
While calling out to Xiuhua, the proctor, Bai Hanxin helped her point out her mistakes.
Xiuhua rushed over as soon as she arrived and saw this scene of "maximum friendliness," so she subconsciously stopped.
Or perhaps, Bai Hanxin, with her sharp eyes, noticed her.
The shy flower strolled over.
Bai Hanxin felt exceptionally relaxed after the people arrived.
She simply said, "Bai Tian won."
Xiuhua gradually opened her eyes wide, her tone somewhat incredulous as she said, "Oh, oh."
Bai Tian looked at Bai Hanxin behind the proctor.
He asked, "What is your status at Danxin Peak?"
Without a word of thought, Bai Hanxin blurted out the nickname someone had given her: "Little Devil." After saying that, she was thrown into the crowd like a socially awkward person who had been around for years, and she walked away quickly.
He thought to himself, "This is too tiring. Alchemy is much easier!"
Everyone has their own ambitions, and the best destination is when prosperity is at its peak.
After seeing her leave, Xiuhua pulled Baitian into a specially designed pure white space, with the main theme of "safety"!
"Congratulations! You have successfully cleared the level. After you clear the level, this venue will be completely closed. You will need to go to Elder Xingjuan to collect your reward."
"Hopefully, the next match will be a success."
Wait, Bai Tian's voice interrupted her.
Are you from Danxin Peak?
Xiuhua, puzzled, replied, "Yes."
"Is she from Danxin Peak?"
Xiuhua replied with a puzzled look, "Yes."
Bai Tian, however, revealed a bright and cheerful smile.
He accepted her words.
"Then, I wish you success."
"—I won't say goodbye."
With a single teleportation, the person in front of her left her pure white space; instead, she had to squeeze back through the teleportation array.
"I hope everything goes well."
The flowers blushed and sighed.
