Su Xiao Xiao and Han Miao Shuang looked at that person carefully and said, "He does seem familiar, but after looking at him for a while, we don't know him. This person is strange."
"Indeed. Observe him closely. "Sima You Yue said.
"Okay, okay."
After all the results were out, Ji Qingyuan announced the people who had advanced in the first round.
His words were still so concise.
"Those with a score of 95 points and above will start the second match tomorrow morning."
After his announcement, everyone began to stand up and leave.
Sima Youyue glanced at the rostrum. Shao Yun Xiao and Xia Chang Tian were walking in front while Wu Lingyu and Shui Qing Man were walking behind them, obediently listening to what Shui Qing Man was saying.
"I've always been curious. That Shao Yun Xiao is just the Pavilion Master of the Sage Pavilion in the inner regions. Why is he able to sit with Xia Chang Tian and the others, and become the guest of honor for this competition?" Han Miao Shuang leaned on Sima Youyue's shoulder and looked at the rostrum with her.
"It is indeed a little unexpected." Sima Youyue said, "It would make sense if he was from the inner region. But Shao Yun Xiao is just a pavilion master from the middle region. He doesn't have a high status. How did he become a guest?"
"Only the President and the Alliance Master will know." Su Xiao said.
"You can ask around. But now, let's go back to the inn. "Sima Youyue followed Mao San Quan and left.
"Let's go back and rest. I'm exhausted from doing so many questions today."
"But Little Junior Brother is really amazing. He can even reverse common sense like the Scarlet Star Grass and Fire Cliff Grass."
"Since she has proven that it is wrong, then it is no longer common sense."
"That's true."
"…"
The next day, the contestants arrived at the arena early in the morning, waiting for the day's competition to begin.
At eight o 'clock sharp, Xia Chang Tian brought everyone in. The moment they arrived, Ji Qing Yuan went up on stage and said, "The second round of the pill competition has begun. Contestants, please come on stage. "
Sima Youyue and Han Miao Shuang walked to their respective seats. Ji Qing Yuan waved his hand and another table appeared in front of everyone.
"The questions for this round are in the drawer. All you need to do is to refine the elixir in the specified time." Ji Qingyuan said, "In the end, I'll calculate your results based on the grade, quantity, time, and so on. Let's start now. "
The contestants opened the drawer. There was a piece of paper and a pile of medicinal ingredients. There were three sets of each ingredient.
"This table is actually a spatial container."
Sima Youyue took out her paper. It said that she had to concoct the grade six or grade seven pill by the end of the day.
The participants in the second group were all under 100 years old, so their ranks wouldn't be too high. She looked at the people in the front row. Their medicinal herbs were obviously used to refine seventh and eighth grade medicinal pills.
As she glanced around, she saw the man from yesterday again.
He was in the last row of the first group while Sima Youyue was in the first row of the second group. Yesterday, they were diagonally opposite each other. Today, he was in front of her.
That person seemed to feel Sima Youyue's gaze. He turned around to look at her, then turned back expressionlessly.
"How strange." Sima Youyue shrugged her shoulders and started looking at the pill formulas in her hands.
This pill competition was similar to the previous ones. However, there was a slight difference. In the past, one only needed to refine one elixir. In this competition, one needed to refine three types of elixirs.
She checked the three pill formulas. The first one was relatively common, the second one was slightly different, and the third one was very rare. Many people had never even seen it before.
To refine three types of elixirs consecutively, not only did it test one's skills, it also required a high level of mental energy. The continuous operation would make one feel tired towards the end.
Of course, it didn't say that one couldn't take mental energy recovery elixirs. However, even if one took the elixir, it would still take a certain amount of time to recover.
Sima Youyue looked around. The people around her had already taken out their own pill furnaces and started refining.
Those who were able to participate in the pill competition were of high status. Hence, their pill furnaces were of higher quality. In comparison, the pill furnace that she casually took out seemed so shabby.
"Hahaha, can such an ordinary pill furnace really refine elixirs?" Someone in the stands noticed her pill furnace and laughed.
"Refining elixirs is definitely not a problem." The person beside him agreed. "After all, third and fourth grade elixirs are still elixirs."
"However, this competition isn't just about refining third or fourth grade elixirs."
"Don't talk so much. No one will treat you as a mute!" Gu Xi turned around and glared at them.
It turned out that the people who were making sarcastic remarks were from the Gu Clan. Because of what happened yesterday, they paid extra attention to Sima Youyue.
Actually, there were quite a few people who had noticed Sima You Yue's pill furnace just like them. Yesterday, she had demonstrated how the Scarlet Star Grass and Flaming Cliff Grass could fuse together, which gave everyone a huge shock. It was no surprise that it had attracted everyone's attention today.
"Doesn't your academy have good resources to prepare a good pill furnace for her?" Beside Mao San Quan, someone who had a good relationship with him teased.
Mao San Quan glanced at him and ignored him. He continued to pay attention to the competition on the stage.
Han Miao Shuang, Su Xiao Xiao and three other students were in the first group. Sima Youyue was the only one in the second group.
Sima Youyue didn't think that she would be the center of attention. She also didn't think that those people would comment on her pill furnace. She lowered her head and continued to arrange her herbs.
Wu Lingyu looked at her busy figure from the rostrum and smiled faintly.
Wait a little longer. Wait a little longer and he would be able to find her.
After Sima Youyue arranged the herbs properly, she began to refine. The other students had already been refining for quite a while.
She refined the herbs one by one, then fused them and condensed them. When she started to condense the pills, the others had already finished refining the first type of elixir. The fragrance of the herbs floated on the stage.
When she finished refining, the others had already been refining the second type of elixir for quite a while.
She didn't put the elixir into a bottle like the others. She just grabbed it and put it into a jade bottle. Then she started to refine the second type.
"Yue Yue really isn't anxious at all."
"There's nothing to be anxious about. It's still early!" Mao San Quan said, "Those people were so anxious at the start. This will make them use up more mental energy. Some of them will be more tired towards the end. "
Just as Mao San Quan said, many people were tired after refining the second round of elixir. In order to ensure that they could refine the third round of elixir, they ate the mental energy recovery elixir and waited for their mental energy to recover before continuing to refine the elixir.
Those people didn't stay idle while they were recovering. They looked around and sized up the contestants around them.
Many people saw that Sima Youyue was slowly refining the second round of elixir. She didn't have any intention to stop and rest. She took out the herbs for the third type of elixir and started to refine them.
