Cao Ying instinctively wanted to leave, but was stopped by Xiao Xue. If the protagonist left, how could the scene continue?
More and more people were watching, and Cao Ying had no choice but to agree to go with them for identification. After all, she was the one who suggested that the pill in Xiao Xue's hand was fake.
Cao Ying originally wanted to escape from the scene, and the group went straight to the authenticity inspection center set up by Danta in the trading area.
When several alchemists marveled at the eighth-grade elixir in Xiao Xue's hand, Cao Ying wished she could find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
Cao Xiu was even more dumbfounded. She casually took out three eighth-grade elixirs. Who was she?
"Miss Cao, don't do this again!"
Cao Ying's face turned ugly when she heard Xiao Xue's voice behind her. She was so filled with hatred that she fled the trading area in despair without looking back.
"This Cao Ying is really funny. Doesn't she think she is humorous?"
"Brother, she did it on purpose today. It seems like my strength has been exposed."
"So that's the case, but is it useful for her to do this?"
"Of course it works, but don't forget who she is."
After Xiao Xue finished speaking, she handed the map to Xiao Yan and took the lead towards the Ye family rest area. Ah Li followed in a panic.
Xiao Yan held the map in his hand, thought about it, and then sighed before following back.
"Brother Chen, you are right, she is indeed an eighth-grade alchemist."
Dan Xuan looked surprised, while Dan Chen just looked at Xiao Xue's back quietly. His eyes were full of complex emotions.
When Ye Zhong learned that Xiao Xue had taken out the eighth-grade elixir, he was first shocked and then burst into laughter. He was looking forward to the outcome of the final.
The day of the finals has finally arrived, and the thirteen people who have advanced to the finals are now standing on their respective competition stages to greet the cheers of the audience.
The viewing area of the five major families can be described as a world of ice and fire. The Bai family and the Qiu family have given up struggling. They have no interest in who wins the championship.
They don't need to pry into the Ye family's information. The strength shown by Xiao Xue and Xiao Yan's brother and sister in the promotion competition was enough to make the two of them fall to the bottom.
It was the Cao family. At this moment, the head of the Cao family’s eyes rested on Xiao Xue.
Cao Ying returned to the Cao family rest area from the trading area without saying a word, and hid in her room until the start of the game.
Cao Ying's expression said everything, not to mention that under Cao Xiu's jealousy, he felt an unprecedented pressure on Xiao Xue's strength.
I originally thought that the championship was within easy reach, but I only regarded Dan Chen as my opponent. Now a more powerful opponent than Dan Chen has appeared, and the championship seems to be out of reach.
The head of the Cao family, especially looking at Ye Chong's triumphant look, felt even more uncomfortable. The Ye family had been trampled under the feet of the Cao family, but now it was about to turn over.
The head of the Cao family is somewhat unwilling, and now he can only pray that Cao Ying can perform exceptionally.
Compared with the head of the Cao family, the eldest elder of the Dan family is much calmer. He does not seem to have much hostility towards Xiao Xue's sudden rise.
It's just that the Dan family is afraid that it will become the third family. The elder of the Dan family sighed helplessly.
What everyone didn't expect was that the host of the finals had changed. It was no longer the previous one, but Xuan Kongzi, one of the three giants of Danta and Cao Ying's teacher.
Xiao Xue felt vaguely uneasy in her heart. Could it be that she was cheating? How could something like this happen everywhere?
Xuan Kongzi hovered on the competition stage, and his appearance surprised everyone present. Ye Zhong's face instantly became ugly.
Xuan Kongzi's gaze was directed at one person. Xiao Xue felt uncomfortable when Xuan Kongzi stared at her so coldly, so she had to pretend to be calm.
After Xuan Kongzi looked at it carefully, he began to think twice and said to himself: So that's it!
"Today is the final. Whoever refines the higher-level and higher-quality elixir within half a month will be the champion of this year."
"Game start!"
After a few brief words, Xuan Kongzi arrived at the highest viewing platform. Comparatively, refining some low-level elixirs would take a long time.
This is the finals. Needless to say, at least a few people will be refining the eighth-grade elixir, so it will be impossible to complete the competition in a few days or even a day.
With Xuan Kongzi's voice, the competition began, and the thirteen contestants began busy refining the elixir.
There is even a chance of refining high-grade elixirs. Most of them are even less than 20%, and the failure rate is very high.
Everyone in the competition area takes it seriously and is careful every time they add herbs, for fear of causing unnecessary mistakes.
Not long after, one person's alchemy cauldron exploded, which meant that he failed in his first attempt.
It's just that this speed deeply affected his confidence.
A ball of yellow flame like a lotus flower was injected into the alchemy cauldron in Xiao Xue's right hand, and Xuan Kongzi instantly became energetic.
"Elder, is that strange fire?"
Alchemists are very sensitive to strange fires, and the strange fire used by Xiao Xue is even more domineering. It is the top ten Red Lotus Karmic Fire.
Cao Ying sensed the existence of the strange fire, and was surprised to find that the flames controlled by Xiao Xue were extremely domineering, and at the same time, they were completely different from her animal fire.
But before Cao Ying could recover from her surprise, the strange fire cast by Xiao Yan once again doubled her pressure.
"Interesting, are they the brothers and sisters Xiao Yan and Xiao Xue, the alchemist of the Ye family?"
Xuan Kongzi stared closely at Xiao Yan and Xiao Xue brother and sister who were using strange fire to refine elixirs in the competition area.
The person standing next to him responded: "Yes, elder!"
Xuan Kongzi seemed to have a sense of déjà vu when he saw clearly the methods used by Xiao Yan and Xiao Xue brothers and sisters when refining elixirs.
A figure of a person appeared in my mind. He looked so similar. I didn't expect to see his disciple after so many years.
Xuan Kongzi actually smiled slightly, which made several other elders on the side confused. They wanted to ask but didn't know how to ask.
Dan Chen was relieved. When he saw Xiao Xue displaying the domineering fire, he knew that the gap between him and Xiao Xue was huge.
This time Xiao Xue did not rush to add all the herbs and then separate the liquid like in the promotion competition, but added one and then separated the other.
Compared with seventh-level herbs, it is more difficult to separate the medicinal liquid required for eighth-level elixirs. There is no room for error in every step, otherwise all efforts will be wasted.
It took three hours to separate the first herb liquid, remove all impurities, and burn it with another kind of flame.
Xuan Kongzi was stunned. Although Xiao Xue only used it for a moment, he still noticed it.
"How can it be!"
Four words have come out of Xuan Kongzi's mouth, which makes the elders around him all confused. You look at me, I look at you.
I simply cannot understand the meaning of the four words Xuan Kongzi.
"Elder, what did you say?"
Xuan Kongzi shook his head, saying it was nothing, but his eyes never moved away from Xiao Xue's body for a moment.
