Ren Xiao Yao vehemently protested and requested to re-grade Uncle Gu's Qi Strengthening Pills.
Qin Feng glanced at Zhāng Yě, and Zhāng Yě immediately stood up and said, "Ahem! Uncle Gu is a Grade 6 Apothecary, but he only gave 5 points to his Qi Strengthening Pills. This is indeed strange. I agree with the suggestion to re-grade Uncle Gu's Qi Strengthening Pills. "
Zhāng Yě was definitely on Qin Feng's side, and the rest of the contestants were also very curious. They also wanted to see Uncle Gu's Qi Strengthening Pills.
"Then we'll re-grade Uncle Gu's Qi Strengthening Pills in front of everyone based on the principle of fairness and openness!" Xiao Jian agreed after thinking for a while. He couldn't figure out why.
Uncle Gu and Bai Yao had no objection to the two main judges' decision to re-grade Uncle Gu's Qi Strengthening Pills.
Everyone gathered around Uncle Gu's Qi Strengthening Pills, and Bai Yao personally went to open the wooden box.
Whoosh!
As soon as the wooden box was opened, the crowd was in an uproar, and all kinds of discussions could be heard.
"Holy sh * t! What the f * ck is this? It stinks to death! "
"Is this a Qi Strengthening Pill? It's more like a Qi Strengthening Pill. Is this really Uncle Gu's Qi Strengthening Pill? "
"Tsk tsk! No wonder he gave it 5 points. Giving this black and swarthy thing 5 points is already very generous! "
… …
There were 8 Qi Strengthening Pills in Uncle Gu's wooden box.
These 8 pills were all black and swarthy, and they were stuck together like sheep dung.
The pills were not formed yet, and some of them were still oozing black liquid. It was nauseating to look at them.
The pills were dull and lusterless; they didn't have any medicinal fragrance, but the stench was very strong. Not to mention the size of the pills, because they were not formed yet. It was impossible to tell which one was which when the 8 pills were stuck together.
This was an extremely bad batch of Qi Strengthening Pills. Now that Uncle Gu's Qi Strengthening Pill was rated 5 points, everyone could accept it. This kind of trash that was an insult to Qi Strengthening Pills should not be given any higher points.
Many people were disgusted by the stench and had already retreated to the side.
Ren Xiao Yao didn't seem to be afraid of the stench. She stood beside the box and stared blankly at the disgusting pills.
"Xiao Yao, stop looking!"
Qin Fen pinched his nose and pulled Little Demon Ren over.
Ren Xiao Yao was finally a little more clear-headed. Her big, watery eyes were covered with a layer of mist. If Uncle Gu had performed normally, he would definitely have been able to become the champion again. But how could Uncle Gu have failed? This was something Ren Xiaoyao couldn't figure out.
Ren Little Demon couldn't blame Uncle Gu, so she could only hide her disappointment and sadness in her heart.
Ren Xiao Yao lay in Qin Feng's embrace, and suddenly buried her head in Qin Feng's chest. Qin Feng saw her shoulders shake, and knew that this girl was crying from anxiety.
Uncle Gu didn't say a word from beginning to end, as if the pill wasn't concocted by him.
When the other teams saw this, they awkwardly retreated to the side, not daring to say anything. Zhāng Yě stood dumbfoundedly at the judging panel. He held the results slip in his hand and did not know what to do.
"Since no one has any objections to Uncle Gu's evaluation of the medicinal pills, then we'll calculate it according to the 5 marks on the report card … Zhāng Yě, continue reading the results of the other participating teams!"
Zhāng Yě was stunned for a moment, but he still cautiously continued announcing the results.
"19th place, Golden Needle Society, 105 points!"
… …
"11th place, Starlight Sect, 130 points!"
After the last 20 teams were announced, Xiao Jian took another list and read the results of the top 10 teams!
"4th place, Bao Zhi Hall, 150 points!"
"3rd place, Poison Sect, 158 points!"
"2nd place, Yang Merchant Association, 163 points!"
"1st place, Herbal Sect, 180 points!"
… …
The results of the top 3 teams were in line with everyone's expectations. Poison Sect, Yang Merchant Association, and Herbal Sect were the most favored teams in this medicinal pill competition.
As for the 4th place, Bao Zhi Hall, it shocked everyone again!
If they remembered correctly, Bao Zhi Hall also came in 4th place in the previous competition. This inconspicuous little pharmacy was not to be underestimated.
After the results of the second round of the medicinal pill competition were announced, Ren Xiao Yao had been crying from the beginning until now. Moreover, the more she read the top 3 teams, the sadder she became. This was because the top 3 teams originally belonged to Saint Medic.
According to the rules of the second round, the total score was multiplied by 2, which was the corresponding points obtained by each team.
Saint Medic had obtained 200 points, and in addition to the 312 points they obtained in the first round, they had a total of 512 points!
The Herbal Sect had 155 points in the first round, and 360 points in the second round, giving them a total of 515 points.
The Poison Sect had a total of 446 points, the Yang Merchant Association had a total of 444 points, and Bao Zhi Hall had a total of 420 points.
Now that the two rounds of the competition had ended, the Herbal Sect had replaced Saint Medic and was far ahead of them in first place. They had caught up with Saint Medic with a small gap of 3 points.
Little Demon Ren was crying her heart out. She was supposed to be number one, but now it had been snatched away. The little girl was so nervous that she was about to die. She still couldn't understand why Uncle Gu would drop the ball at such a crucial moment.
After the results of the competition were announced, the points of the small pharmacies were pulled further and further away from the top 5 teams. These teams were no longer in the mood to stay any longer and left one after another.
"Gu brat, don't go!"
Just as Uncle Gu was about to leave with the crowd, Qin Feng's cold voice suddenly rang out.
Many people stopped in their tracks and looked over. Seeing that there was going to be a good show to watch, no one was in a hurry to leave.
"What do you want, brat? Spit it out now, I'm busy! " Uncle Gu was infuriated that Qin Feng had called him 'Gu brat' in front of everyone. He glared at Qin Feng with a cold expression.
"Why did you make a mistake in this round? Don't you need an explanation? "Ren Xiao Yao was still twitching in Qin Feng's arms, and Qin Feng could no longer bear to watch.
Panic flashed across Uncle Gu's old eyes, and he quickly glared at Qin Feng coldly, "It's not uncommon for a pill master to spoil a pill. What's there to explain? Isn't it just a mistake in my performance? Do I need a wild brat like you to lecture me? "
Ren Xiao Yao did not expect Qin Feng to suddenly quarrel with Uncle Gu. She hurriedly controlled her emotions and grabbed Qin Feng's arm. She looked at Qin Feng pitifully, "Forget it, Uncle Gu didn't do it on purpose. Let's just let this go!"
Qin Feng looked at Ren Xiao Yao's silly expression and wanted to give her a hard knock on the head to see if he could wake this silly girl up.
If Uncle Gu really did make a mistake like Ren Xiao Yao said, Qin Feng would have nothing to say. Who didn't make a mistake once or twice?
However, Qin Feng saw Uncle Gu go to Uncle Yao's room last night. Moreover, Uncle Gu was a Rank 6 Alchemist. Even if he closed his eyes and performed poorly, he wouldn't be able to refine a bunch of disgusting half-finished products.
There was only one possibility, and that was that Uncle Gu had purposely ruined the pill!
"Of course you don't need to explain to me. Because you've been fired by Saint Medic!"
Qin Feng glared at Uncle Gu and said word by word.
Hiss!
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air, and the entire hall suddenly fell silent!
Uncle Gu looked at Qin Feng with a shocked expression. He clearly hadn't regained his senses. Ren Xiao Yao's hand that was tightly holding Qin Feng's arm suddenly loosened. This girl was also shocked.
"You … you, you, what did you say? You want to fire me? " Uncle Gu's old eyes almost popped out of their sockets. After a while, he suddenly laughed loudly, "Haha! Funny, this is really funny. You, an outsider, dare to say such ridiculous words. What right do you have to fire me? This daddy here is the gold medal apothecary of the Saint Panacea! Even the elders of the Ren Clan have to respect me … Who the hell do you think you are in the Saint Panacea? You'd better go take a piss and look at yourself first! "
Uncle Gu laughed fearlessly. He didn't believe that Saint Medic would fire him even if he was beaten to death.
Qin Feng's expression was solemn. He didn't think what he said was funny at all. He said coldly, "Since you're old and your ears aren't working well, I'll say it again. You've been fired by Saint Medic. Don't use Saint Medic's name in the future. Saint Medic can't afford to lose face like this!"
Qin Feng's voice was loud and forceful. He didn't sound like he was joking at all.
Uncle Gu's laughter stopped abruptly. He suddenly became nervous.
"Miss Ren, what do you mean? Is Saint Medic really going to fire me? You better think carefully. Don't do something stupid because of your willfulness. Otherwise, you won't be able to explain it to the elders of the Ren family. "
Uncle Gu didn't dare to look at Qin Feng's cold eyes. He started to question Ren Xiao Yao.
Ren Xiao Yao was still confused. She had never thought of firing Uncle Gu. It was all Qin Feng's idea.
"Qiao Feng … Y-You're joking, right? I think it's better not to fire …"
Before Ren Xiao Yao could finish speaking, Qin Feng slapped her on the butt.
"I said to fire him. Are you going to oppose me?" Qin Feng's expression was cold. Ren Xiao Yao was so scared that she became nervous.
Everyone held their breath and didn't dare to speak. The atmosphere was so cold that it was about to freeze.
Saint Medic had already fallen into a disadvantageous position. How could they still have internal strife at this time? If they fired Uncle Gu now, Saint Medic would really be done for tomorrow's competition.
Ren Xiao Yao felt uncomfortable being stared at by hundreds of eyes. She was so nervous that her cheongsam was drenched in sweat again. This time, it wasn't hot sweat but cold sweat.
"Qiao Feng, I, I …"
Ren Xiao Yao was in a difficult position. That was Uncle Gu, the golden pill master of Saint Medic. There was still the most important pill king competition tomorrow. How could she fire Uncle Gu now?
"Alright, that's enough. Since you want to keep that old man, then I can't help you anymore!" Qin Feng looked at Ren Xiao Yao disappointedly and turned to leave.
Ren Xiao Yao felt an emptiness in her heart. She hurriedly grabbed Qin Feng's arm. "Qiao Feng, d-don't go … Alright, I-I promise you. I'll fire that old man!"
The moment Qin Feng turned around, Ren Xiao Yao already had an answer in her heart.
Although she hadn't known Qin Feng for long, Ren Xiao Yao trusted him more. Although Qin Feng was a little lecherous and overbearing, Ren Xiao Yao felt that he cared about her. At least, he wouldn't betray her.
"Gu, from now on, you're officially fired from Saint Medic. Don't use Saint Medic's name anymore. We're embarrassed!"
Since she had made her decision, Ren Xiao Yao instantly became determined.
She fired Uncle Gu in front of everyone. Uncle Gu looked like he was suffering from dementia. He wouldn't dare to accept this fact even if he was beaten to death.
Ren Xiao Yao was in a great mood after she fired Uncle Gu.
This old man usually took advantage of his seniority, relying on his superior alchemy skills to order Ren Xiao Yao around. Even in front of some of the Ren Family's elders, Uncle Gu was arrogant and domineering, not giving the Ren Family any face.
The hall was in an uproar!
This result was obviously out of everyone's expectation. Tomorrow was the day of the pill king competition. Ren Xiao Yao actually fired the golden pill master of Saint Medic at such a critical moment?
Indeed, a woman in love had zero IQ. Saint Medic, who was originally the most competitive, was no longer a threat in everyone's eyes!
