This ranking had caught them off guard.
An Lin and Xu Xiaolan even began to doubt the Pill Tower's strength.
Was this the strength of the top hundred … no, the top ninety pill refiners of the younger generation?
So weak!
Xu Xiaolan was aiming for the top hundred, but she ended up in first place.
An Lin was aiming for the top ninety, but he ended up in the top ninety.
Hmm … This was too surreal!
When the competition token flew in front of An Lin, the joyful Gray's pupils contracted, and he exclaimed in shock, "So you're An Lin? Oh my god! I didn't expect you to have this kind of strength! "
An Lin sighed. "I also didn't expect that my ranking would be higher than yours just by casually refining pills … Is this the highest honor you were talking about? As expected, I'm too powerful, so I can't understand the lives of weaklings like you. "
Gray almost spat out a mouthful of blood upon hearing this, but he couldn't refute it. After all, when Meimei had announced the rankings, An Lin just happened to be in front of Gray, so he remembered it quite clearly.
The black salamander was both embarrassed and angry, and it opened its huge mouth and roared, "Roar! An Lin, I'm going to kill you!! "
Bam!
Gray's head suddenly suffered a heavy blow.
"Gray, if you dare to cause trouble again, I'll kill you first!" Julia's sharp dragon claws pressed down on Gray's head as if she was going to crush it at any moment.
"Waah … Cousin, I won't dare to do it again, please spare me!" Gray shrank his head and loudly begged for mercy.
An Lin: "…"
Could it be that Gray's "I'll kill you" catchphrase had been infected by his cousin?
The eliminated participants began to leave the competition venue, and the huge venue suddenly became much more spacious, and the circle of spectators shrank once again.
The gazes of hundreds of thousands of living beings gathered on these ninety geniuses.
That's right, An Lin also had the opportunity to be seen as a genius by other living beings as a pill refiner, and he enjoyed a wave of envious and adoring gazes.
Of course, the one who attracted the most attention was Xu Xiaolan.
Originally, Xu Xiaolan only wanted to save materials and get into the top one hundred. However, she realized that she seemed to have used too much strength and became the first in the preliminary examination. She immediately shone brightly.
Not only were the audience envious, even Meimei and the Pill Tower's Elders couldn't help but take a few more glances at Xu Xiaolan. She had clearly become a strong contender for the championship in everyone's hearts!
An Lin looked at Xu Xiaolan, who was in the limelight, with a proud look on his face. He really wanted to tell the audience loudly, "Awesome, right? She's my Dao companion!"
Many people had looks of admiration and admiration on their faces, but there were also some who had hostile gazes. They were the contestants, and they were not convinced that Xu Xiaolan had won first place.
"Hmph, it's clearly just the preliminaries, but you're refining such a high-grade medicinal pill. Do you want to stand out?" A translucent woman covered in blue liquid placed her hands on her hips, a look of disdain on her face.
"Rika, don't mind her. Only stupid humans would do something like that. Can't we refine a spirit pill at the pinnacle of the fifth-grade? She's the idiot who wasted materials and gave the Pill Tower a high-grade spirit pill. There's no need for us to do that. "A true demon with a black sword on its back chuckled coldly.
"Glory? The higher you fly, the more painful it will be when you fall. "
"She should be able to see the true disparity in power during the semi-finals."
An ethereal and distant voice rang out. It was a woman's body that was formed from a mass of black energy. Behind her was a green crescent moon.
The three living beings who were speaking also caught everyone's attention as they were the top contenders for the championship. Rika, the Black Sword Lord, and Ban Yue!
There were ninety contestants gathered together, all of whom were at the Spirit Nurturing Stage or above.
Pill refinement actually had a lot to do with one's cultivation base. After all, as one's cultivation base reached a certain level, one's control over all aspects of power and perception would also increase.
Even if one didn't have the aptitude for pill refinement, they would still be able to push their cultivation base to the next level.
An Lin and Dongfang Zhuangshi were the best examples of this.
Were these ninety contestants all powerful?
Even if one ignored their pill refinement aptitude and just looked at their cultivation bases, anyone who could reach the Spirit Nurturing Stage before the age of thirty could definitely be considered a top-tier prodigy in the Kingdom of the Nine States!
Just look at the Celestial Court's Xiuxian United University. That was the place with the most prodigies of the younger generation in the Kingdom of the Nine States. How many of them could reach the Spirit Nurturing Stage before the age of twenty?
Hence, it really wasn't that the Pill Tower contestants were too weak. It was just that An Lin and Xu Xiaolan were too powerful.
It was just that they didn't know how freakishly talented they were.
After all, they were no longer fighting against living beings below the Return to Void Stage …
"The second semi-finals will determine the five most outstanding contestants. They will receive a sixth-grade immortal pill coupon. Now, let me announce the rules.
"Next, I will give you a fourth-grade spirit pill coupon called the Spirit Rejuvenation Pill. What you need to do is refine this Spirit Rejuvenation Pill. The elders in the elder seating area will determine the winner based on the quality of the spirit pills refined. "
"The materials will be provided by the Pill Tower, so it's free!"
Meimei said with a wide grin.
All the contestants were speechless. If this wasn't provided by the Pill Tower for free, then what the f * ck were they supposed to do?! Most likely, half of the contestants would withdraw from the competition out of heartache.
An Lin was quite happy. The Pill Tower finally had some conscience. It was probably because they saw that most of the contestants wanted to enter the Pill Tower and would harm their own, so they decided not to scam them too badly.
Hmm … Speaking of which …
Most of the contestants were already in despair when they found out that the pill they had to refine was a fourth-grade spirit pill.
F * ck … The starting requirement was even higher than the first place in the preliminary round. How were they supposed to compete?
They were prodigies, yes, but they weren't freakishly talented!
All the contestants were dejected. Many of them hadn't even refined a fifth-grade spirit pill before, let alone a fourth-grade spirit pill. How were they supposed to refine a fourth-grade spirit pill?
Even if Liang Jingru was singing beside them, it wouldn't be able to ignite their fighting spirit …
Gray also had a look of despair on his face. He glanced at An Lin and said in exasperation, "Human, we're the weakest in the preliminary round. Let's not join in the fun. Let's just watch from the sidelines."
An Lin didn't move. He clasped his hands behind his back and chuckled. "How can a sparrow know the ambitions of a swan?"
Gray's voice faltered. "Foolish human, I'm going to kill you!"
A chill suddenly swept over him, and the black dragon's body shrank back.
Julia's gaze was fixed on Gray.
"An Lin, I'm not leaving either. I'm going to watch from the sidelines. I want to see how you're going to embarrass yourself!" Gray stood rooted to the spot with one hand on the cauldron and a cold smile on his face as he looked at An Lin.
An Lin couldn't be bothered with that black dragon.
He didn't really have the ability to refine fourth-grade spirit pills. The only reason he didn't leave was because he couldn't stand the indignation of having his money stolen by the Pill Tower. He had to "use" the Pill Tower's medicinal ingredients!
Sets of medicinal ingredients were distributed one after another.
Duang！
As the bell rang, Meimei announced excitedly:
"The second round of the competition begins now!"
