According to the rules of the Intermediate Pharmacist Competition, if there was only one member in a small team who voluntarily withdrew, and the team had more than fifty medicinal tablets by the end of the competition, then the member who withdrew could rejoin and continue to participate in the next round of the competition.
Therefore, when they saw Gu Ying rejoining the team, many students revealed a regretful expression.
What a pity. They originally thought that eliminating Gu Ying would greatly weaken the strength of Gu Haoran's team, but now it seemed that this idea was a little too naive.
With their strength, they had snatched far more than 50 medicinal tablets, so it would be easy for them to restore their team members.
Big Beard's expression instantly turned gloomy when he saw Gu Haoran and the other two. He frowned slightly, then walked towards Gu Haoran's team.
Chu Chen and the other two grinned slightly when they saw this. They walked behind Big Beard and followed.
The air instantly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on this place.
Many people already knew about the conflict between Big Beard and Gu Haoran. Many people said that Gu Haoran might be a traitor of the Medicine Palace, but there was no evidence for this kind of thing. Even the three elders of the Medicine Palace could not make a conclusion.
"Teacher, we meet again."
Gu Haoran's expression was still calm. When his indifferent gaze swept across Chu Chen, he even nodded slightly, as if he admired him very much.
After hearing Gu Haoran's words, Big Beard grinned and chuckled, "How is it? My disciples didn't disappoint you, right?"
"Your disciple is more surprising than I imagined. If he is given time to grow, he will be a promising talent." Gu Haoran calmly glanced at Big Beard, and an imperceptible cold light flashed in the depths of his eyes.
Big Beard, of course, understood the meaning behind his words. His expression suddenly darkened, and he snorted heavily, "In terms of judging people, I've only been blind once, and I won't be blind a second time! Don't act like you're the only one in this world. Just watch, my new student will definitely surpass you! "
"Ah …" Gu Haoran chuckled softly. His expression had completely darkened. "It's only the first round. So what if I let him gain a slight advantage? After all, there's still the relationship between our master and disciple. Such a small achievement is really not worthy of teacher's happiness."
"Oh? You're really thick-skinned, aren't you? " Big Beard laughed. "You're too naive. My disciple is destined to trample you under his feet. This is the cycle of the Heavenly Dao and retribution. This day won't be long. "
"Is that so."
The corners of Gu Haoran's mouth curled up slightly, and a trace of cold killing intent gradually appeared in the depths of his eyes. "You'd better pray that your three disciples don't die in the second round of the competition. The so-called geniuses are nothing before they truly grow up. "
"Are you threatening me?" Big Beard narrowed his eyes. The murderous intent in his eyes was as sharp as a blade.
"Your disciple naturally wouldn't dare to threaten teacher." Gu Haoran put on an act of cupping his hands. His gaze swept over Chu Chen, Shen Hou, and Tang Rou. "I just hope that teacher will cherish your disciples. After all, they're still considered outstanding. If they were to meet with an accident and die, it would be a pity."
"You'd better cherish your little life." Big Beard's gaze darkened. "No matter what, after the Alchemist Competition ends, you and I will naturally have a battle to settle this karma!"
"Oh?" Gu Haoran raised the corner of his eyes. "Teacher, are you issuing me a letter of challenge?"
"A letter of challenge? You're not worthy! " Big Beard snorted coldly. "I'm going to completely eradicate a scourge like you and clean up the Medicine Palace!
"Teacher, you're exaggerating." Gu Haoran's lips curled up slightly, and a cold smile appeared on his face. "Your disciple wishes that your three disciples will be safe and sound in the upcoming competition."
Gu Haoran purposely emphasized the words' safe and sound '. With a faint smile, he waved his sleeves and strode away. Behind him, Gu Ying and Gu Lan sneered at them and followed behind Gu Haoran.
"You …" Big Beard's killing intent exploded, and the air around him stirred up like boiling water. Chu Chen, who was behind him, pulled him back.
Seeing this, Gu Haoran and the other two sneered even more and left without looking back.
"Teacher, calm down." Chu Chen tugged at Big Beard's sleeve. "The competition is between us disciples. As a teacher, you should just watch."
"Yes, after all, this is only the Alchemist Competition. It's not a real life and death battle." Shen Hou said calmly. "Teacher, don't worry. The three of us know when to advance and retreat."
"Teacher, you don't have to be angry." Tang Rou smiled. "It's not worth it for this kind of person. No matter how arrogant he is, he'll still be bound by the Medicine Palace's rules. Just watch our performance in the upcoming competition."
Seeing the concerned expressions on the three disciples' faces, the anger on the bearded man's face eased slightly. He chuckled and said, "I know, it's just a competition. Don't push yourself too hard. You must remember that safety comes first. Alright, after these few days of competition, you're all tired. Go back and have a good rest. "
The three of them nodded and said their goodbyes. Then, they walked back to the residential area.
To be honest, after seven days of competition, everyone's spirits were stretched taut. It was not easy to get some time to rest. Therefore, everyone took advantage of this opportunity to relieve their fatigue and nervousness from the past week.
After returning to the courtyard, the three of them did not say much. After washing up, they fell on their beds to rest. The Medicine Palace only gave them one day to rest. After one day, it would be the second round of the Intermediate Alchemist Competition. Rest time was very precious.
It could be said that Chu Chen fell asleep as soon as he hit the bed. He quickly fell asleep.
After resting for a day, the disciples who had advanced to the Intermediate Alchemist Competition had more or less recovered their mental states. They then went to the Medicine Refinery Hall to replenish their consumption of pills.
Then, the teams that had advanced to the next round came to the Medicine Palace's square again.
Under the guidance of the black-clothed teacher who was maintaining order, the teams stepped onto the Teleportation Formation in the square and entered the vast Ancient Medicine Palace ruins once again.
There were a total of 120 teams. Compared to the 1,000 teams in the first round, this number was very small. However, the aura emitted by this group of people was not much weaker than the disciples in the first round.
