At this instant, the 2nd place had already appeared on the display screen. It was clearly written: 2nd Place: Participating Immortal City, High Grade City, Long Light Immortal City Participating Pill Refiner, Gong Yangxue. Points: 977.71, advanced to the second round.
Gong Yangxue was a peak existence amongst the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance's Pill Emperors. The number of Pill Emperors that could surpass him could be counted on one's fingers.
Yet, such a Pill Emperor was actually ranked 2nd. There was one more place that wasn't shown. Even a fool would know that the 1st place belonged to that young pill refiner that many people didn't recognise. If this wasn't a problem with the display screen, then it must be cheating.
This Alchemy Dao Competition might not be the biggest one, but it was definitely the most important one. Even the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance could forget about cheating. No matter how strong the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance was, if they dared to cheat, they would be digging their own grave.
Even Gong Yangxue, Heng Jun and the other Pill Emperors' gazes landed on Mo Wuji. They also wanted to know how this matter would end.
Mo Wuji didn't panic at all. When he saw that Gong Yangxue only had 97.711 points, he knew that 1st place would definitely be his. Under normal circumstances, his purification of Tier 5 and 6 immortal herbs would always be above 99%. Even though the Jade Pomegranate Immortal Grass was difficult, it wouldn't be below 99%.
The originally noisy arena and competition platform quietened down at this moment. Everyone was waiting for the 1st place to be revealed. Then, they were waiting for the host to give them an explanation.
Under the attention of the crowd, the 1st place was finally revealed. As expected, the 1st place was an unfamiliar name.
1st Place: Participating Immortal City, Low Grade City, Water Ying Immortal City Participating Pill Refiner, Mo Xinghe. Points: 993.61, advanced to the second round.
"Boom!" A commotion broke out at almost the same instant. Everyone was discussing. Their gazes landed on the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance's Vice Alliance Head, Hu Zhenyu, and Yong Ying Immortal Domain's Heaven and Earth Head, Kui Fengyun. They needed to be responsible for this alchemy competition. With such a result, they should give a reasonable explanation.
The originally joyous Wen Hou's family turned pale. Mo Wuji obtaining a good placing would naturally make them excited. But Mo Wuji's placing was simply too good. It was so good that they were afraid, so good that they didn't dare to accept it.
The moment there was a problem with Mo Wuji's ranking, the first person to be killed would naturally be Mo Wuji. After Mo Wuji was killed, the consequences of the rematch would not be borne by the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance's Vice Alliance Head, nor would it be borne by the Yong Ying Immortal Domain's Heavenly Emperor. The only one that would have to bear the consequences would be his Water Ying Immortal City.
In other words, he, Wen Hou, as the castellan of Water Ying Immortal City, would be the second to be killed. Once he was killed, it would be strange if there was still an ant left in the Wen family.
Hu Zhenyu walked to the front of the main altar. The crowd quietened down as everyone looked at him.
Hu Zhenyu's gaze shifted from Mo Wuji to the crowd on the plaza, then he said slowly, "I know what everyone wants to say. I will now clearly tell everyone that the results of the first round of the competition are accurate and valid. There was no problem with the ranking display array, and there was no question about the ranking. Of course, if any of the participating pill refiners feel that there's a problem with their scores, you can step forward. We will take out your purified liquid for public appraisal … "
As he said this, Hu Zhenyu's gaze swept across the eliminated pill refiners. His tone became more serious as he said, "If the appraisal shows that there's a problem with your results, we will exempt you from the competition and allow you to enter the Yunxian Immortal Valley. Of course, if the appraisal shows that there's no problem with your results, you will be directly eliminated. Now, if any pill refiners have doubts about their results, please step forward. We will immediately take out your purified liquid for public appraisal. "
Everyone's gaze landed on the seats of the pill refiners. A full half an incense's time passed, but not a single pill refiner stepped forward to say that there was a problem with their results.
Every pill refiner was confident in their own results. They were all very clear that the appraisal results were completely accurate. In fact, it was even more accurate than their estimations.
After half an incense's time, no one stepped forward. Hu Zhenyu nodded his head, "It seems like all the pill refiners are clear that the appraisal results are accurate. Therefore, these results are also valid. Since that's the case, let's not waste any more time. Let's begin the second round of the competition. "
The second round of the competition was about to begin. This meant that there were no problems with Mo Wuji and the appraisal array. Many people's envious gazes landed on Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji obtained almost full marks in the first round. As long as he could obtain a certain amount of marks in the second round, the chances of him entering the top 50 would be very high.
Of course, if Mo Wuji didn't obtain any marks in the second round, it would mean that his results in the first round might still be fake.
…
"Dad, Brother Mo's results are actually real. He really obtained 1st place with a total of 99.361 points. Our Water Ying Immortal City will definitely not become someone else's vassal. If Brother Mo's results were better in the second round, we might even be able to advance to an intermediate grade immortal city …" Hearing Pill Dao Immortal Alliance's Deputy Alliance Head Hu Zhenyu announce that the results were valid, Wen Lianxi was so excited that she stood up.
Yan Qianling and Wen Hou were equally excited. Yan Qianling hurriedly grabbed her daughter and gestured for Wen Lianxi to sit down.
Water Ying Immortal City obtained 1st place in the first round. It was better for them to be more humble. Otherwise, people would think that Water Ying Immortal City was too arrogant.
"Impressive, impressive …" Tan Liang muttered to himself. He didn't believe that Mo Wuji's results were fake. The first time he saw the 100% essence of the medicinal liquid, didn't he also feel that it was unbelievable? Since it was unbelievable once, there would definitely be a second time.
Some of the surrounding castellans came over to greet Wen Hou. Regardless of whether Water Ying Immortal City could advance to an intermediate grade immortal city, Water Ying Immortal City being able to know such an incredible pill refiner was definitely worth befriending.
Wen Hou looked at his daughter and said, "Lianxi, thank you. If not for you, our entire family would have become someone else's vassal."
"Dad, we should thank Brother Mo. Without Brother Mo, how could we sit here so peacefully? There are even so many high and intermediate grade castellans coming over to greet us." Wen Lianxi's face was flushed with excitement. Even now, it still hadn't faded.
Wen Hou nodded his head continuously, "Yes, we should thank Pill Master Mo. Without Pill Master Mo, we would have already become targets of envy."
In the distance, Pill Dao Immortal Alliance's Tier 5 Pill King Geng Ji also couldn't believe that Water Ying Immortal City obtained 1st place in the first round. His gaze swept across the incomparably excited and happy Wen Hou, and he snorted coldly. A mere low grade immortal city, even if they found a pill refiner and obtained 1st place in the first round, so what? In the eyes of a Pill Dao Immortal Alliance's Tier 5 Pill King, it was still nothing.
…
Slightly further away from Wen Hou's family, a young man said excitedly to the middle-aged man beside him, "Dad, I know that Mo Xinghe …"
"Ah …" Zhong Muqiao, who had been staring at Mo Wuji, exclaimed. Immediately, he asked excitedly, "Zhen 'Er, is what you said true?"
This young man was Zhong Zhen, who helped Mo Wuji previously. He nodded his head and said, "It's true. Back then, Blade Scar Mountain's Gou Xinghao came to find trouble with him, and I was the one who helped him out. I really didn't think that his medicinal essences would be so impressive. It's simply so impressive that I dare not believe it. "
"Good, good …" Zhong Muqiao applauded, "Good help, good help … After this alchemy competition ends, you must invite him over for a chat."
Originally, Zhong Muqiao wanted to ask his son why he didn't allow Mo Xinghe to participate in the competition. However, when he remembered that his son didn't know that Mo Xinghe could purify medicinal essences, he changed his mind and asked Zhong Zhen to invite Mo Xinghe over for a chat.
Another man sitting beside Zhong Muqiao said, "After this alchemy competition, Mo Xinghe's reputation will soar, and his status will no longer be ordinary. I'm afraid that the number of high grade immortal cities that invited him are as many as the hairs on a cow. Our True Cliff Immortal City is merely an intermediate grade immortal city … "
Zhong Zhen hurriedly said, "Master Huai, that Mo Xinghe looks like a decent person. He shouldn't have forgotten that we've met before."
…
Hu Zhenyu's voice continued on the stage, "In the second round, you will still use your own pill furnace. The competition area will provide the earth fire, and the topic of the competition will be pill concoction. As for what pill to concoct, the pill refiner will decide for himself. Even if you want to concoct a Tier 9 immortal pill, it's up to you. It's just that you have to take out all your immortal herbs. If you can't take out your immortal herbs, then please withdraw from the competition, because you have already been eliminated. Now, I announce the start of the second round of the competition. "
It was indeed very simple and concise.
The second round of the competition was pill concoction, and the immortal herbs used for pill concoction were all one's own. However, everyone knew that there was no way to cheat in this round. If anyone dared to take out a pill from their storage ring and send it into the evaluation array, they would be the first to be eliminated.
Mo Wuji's spiritual will swept across the stage. From the immortal herbs that everyone took out, he could deduce that most of the pill refiners on the stage had chosen Tier 6 immortal pills. Only an extremely small number of pill refiners chose Tier 5 immortal pills. Clearly, most of these 300 pill refiners were Tier 6 Pill Kings. As for those Pill Emperors, they also chose Tier 6 immortal pills.
Even though they were Pill Emperors, they couldn't casually concoct Tier 7 immortal pills. The immortal herbs for the first Tier 7 immortal pill were expensive, but the success rate for the second Tier 7 immortal pill was very low. To them, as long as they could concoct a Tier 6 immortal pill, they would definitely be in the top 5. There was no need to take the risk.
Even though Mo Wuji could also concoct Tier 6 immortal pills, he knew that if he really concocted a Tier 6 immortal pill, it would definitely end in failure.
He was different from other pill refiners. If other pill refiners could concoct a bottle of unique grade Tier 5 immortal pills, then at least half of the Tier 6 immortal pills they concocted would be high grade. He could concoct unique grade Tier 5 immortal pills, and even though he could concoct Tier 6 immortal pills, he couldn't even concoct an intermediate grade Tier 6 immortal pill.
So what pill should he choose to ensure that he would enter the top 50?
