"Hard training doesn't really count, but in the past few years in Jiuling Pagoda, I have become much purer."
Elder Lu Xuan seemed to have expected that he would ask these questions. There was no surprise on his face and he said softly.
Elder Guyuan looked at him and asked tentatively:
"So, you still haven't—"
Speaking of this, he suddenly paused, as if he was worried about something.
Elder Lu Xuan seemed unaware and walked over.
Elder Guyuan wanted to say something, but saw that he was already on the stage, and many people around him looked over. It was really not suitable to say that.
He took a deep breath, suppressed all those words, and followed suit.
Anyway, since the person is here, there will be plenty of opportunities to ask questions later.
...
Elder Geng Zhen has already taken a stand in the middle position.
Seeing Elder Lu Xuan coming, he nodded, but there was a bit of scrutiny between his eyebrows.
Elder Lu Xuan is older than him, and what he did was really rude.
However, Elder Lu Xuan didn't seem to mind. After saying hello with a smile, he stood aside.
Elder Guyuan followed and stood beside him.
Elder Geng Zhen vaguely felt that the atmosphere between the two people seemed a bit strange.
But the thought just flashed through his mind.
He is in a very bad mood now. Where can he find the time to figure out what other people are thinking?
The apprentice he thought could take first place is now sitting on the sidelines and is not even qualified to participate in the judging!
Previously, he had thought about simply leaving and replacing himself with other alchemists from the academy, but after thinking about it, he felt that it would only make him more embarrassed. In the eyes of others, he might have fled in despair.
So, he still stays until now.
The Way of Mu Ling:
"According to the time for the elixir to be produced, everyone will come forward in turn."
After he finished speaking, a young man stepped forward.
He stood in front of the three elders, holding a jade box in his hands, looking a little nervous and apprehensive.
"Please ask the three elders to take a look."
Elder Geng Zhen took the jade box and opened it with a click.
A purple elixir as big as a longan lay quietly among it, with a white line clearly visible on it.
Elder Geng Zhen only took one look and gave his evaluation:
"Purple Eye Pill, first grade."
There was a flash of disappointment in the young man's eyes.
Just a first-class product?
He also thought that he could strive for a first-class...
Elder Geng Zhen handed the jade box to Elder Lu Xuan.
After seeing it, Elder Lu Xuan also nodded:
"First grade."
Finally, there is Elder Guyuan.
His answer was the same as the previous two.
With their level, it is really easy to evaluate a pill of this level.
Seeing that the three of them all gave an average rating of the first grade, although the young man felt regretful, he also knew that this was the grade he had achieved.
He took back his elixir, thanked the three elders respectfully, took a few steps back, and made way for those behind him.
The next person continues to follow.
...
Including Ye Xiyue, there were only thirteen people participating in this competition.
During the entire competition, five more people failed to make alchemy and had no choice but to abstain.
So now there are only eight people left on the field.
After the first person got the first-level evaluation, three more first-level people appeared.
And among these three people, two of them are first-grade, and one is lower than first-grade.
This result is really not that good.
But we can't blame them completely. If it weren't for the two turmoil caused by Gu Ying'er before, there would still be more than one of them who would be able to reach the top.
