Tian Ning's position is good, in the center of the competition. If she performs steadily, she might be noticed by the elders. However, if she moves to the back, she will be harder to be noticed.
"Thank you! I'll go to the back."
Tian Ning didn't care whether Elder Dan Xiu would notice her. She looked at the remaining space behind her; it was big enough to fit her stove.
So, before Lan Siran could enjoy everyone's praise, Tian Ning took out her large stove from her mustard seed bag, which stunned everyone!
The stove was so conspicuous that it immediately drew the audience's attention.
"My God! This isn't an alchemy competition, who would be so heartless as to put a stove there? Surely they wouldn't use it for alchemy?"
As it turns out, he was right.
"I saw it, it was taken out by that alchemist..."
"Where did this rogue cultivator come from, so poor he can't even afford a pill-refining furnace?"
"You can tell by the tattered clothes she's wearing; she's probably from the Lingyun Sect!"
...
Lan Siran did not receive the points she was expected to receive. She did not understand why someone had stolen her spotlight time and time again today, and looked at Tian Ning's direction with a slightly dissatisfied gaze.
He's just a poor beggar, what's there to care about?
It's just a publicity stunt!
Lan Siran suppressed her dissatisfaction and took out the prepared spiritual plants to begin refining pills. She specially chose the extremely difficult-to-refine Rejuvenate Pill, for which she had to beg her grandfather for a long time to obtain the Blazing Flame Fruit.
I believe that once the audience sees the materials she brings out, their attention will be drawn back to her!
After all, the clown can only provide temporary amusement...
But the next second she heard an audience member exclaim, "She...she's about to break through!!"
Lan Siran: "???"
Now, not only the spectators who were just there to watch the spectacle, but even the alchemists who were competing came over to take a look.
The girl in pink who took out the stove was surrounded by spiritual energy, and all the spiritual energy in the arena was surging towards her. She was obviously about to break through, and it was the Qi Refining Great Perfection that was breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage!
"No way, she just took out a stove, how did she break through?" A cultivator who had noticed Tian Ning earlier was dumbfounded.
Is this how you do breakthroughs these days?
"Who is this genius? He's so strong, he's making it impossible for anyone else to live!"
"Don't guess wildly. I think this girl might be deliberately suppressing her cultivation to attract attention, forcing herself to wait until today's competition to pull this stunt!" A cultivator, feeling incredibly clever and having guessed the truth, immediately said, "Look at the clothes she's wearing and the stove. She's definitely a cunning person! She thinks that doing this differently from others will leave a deep impression on the elders!"
"What's the point of all this nonsense? The elders only care about alchemy skills!"
"Exactly! The competition is only an hour long, and they won't make an exception for her breakthrough and pause it just for her! If they pull this stunt, there probably won't even be enough time to refine a batch of pills!"
Some people agreed, while others disagreed: "Don't talk nonsense. When and where you break through is not something you can decide for yourself."
"I was genuinely surprised to see her just now; it couldn't have been intentional."
...
Tianning was indeed very confused.
She knew about her advancement, so... there was also a system in the competition arena of the Central Continent!
