Everyone could see that Sima Youyue had concocted a grade-eight pill, but at the same time, no one thought that she would win.
The fragrance was getting stronger and stronger, clearly telling everyone that she had succeeded in refining the pill.
"Why isn't it over yet?" Song Mingzhu asked.
By this time, Shen Yexuan had already finished concocting the pill. However, she was still continuing.
"Could it be that she can refine even higher grade Level Eight medicinal pills?"
"I don't think so." Shen Yexuan said, "For her to be able to become an eighth grade alchemist is already a heaven-defying existence. It's impossible for her to be higher than me."
"Then why are you still refining?"
"They should be finishing up."
"Look!" Mo Yu exclaimed when she saw the changes above her head.
Everyone looked up and saw that dark clouds were beginning to gather in the clear sky.
"Pill Tribulation! She actually triggered a pill tribulation! "Shen Yexuan cried out in disbelief.
"How can this be?!"
"It really is a pill tribulation. She actually triggered a pill tribulation …"
Everyone felt that it was inconceivable. However, as the tribulation clouds grew thicker and thicker, they had no choice but to believe what they were seeing.
Sima Youyue raised her head and looked at the tribulation clouds in the sky. She felt that it was about time. She put away the fire, opened the lid, and took out the refined pills.
"Pa —"
As soon as the pill appeared, the lightning tribulation immediately struck down.
Sima Youyue held onto the elixir. Because she had become the target of the lightning tribulation, she was struck along with the elixir.
Shen Yexuan and the rest had already escaped from the arena before the Lightning Tribulation struck. They didn't want to be accidentally injured.
"She actually directly withstood the lightning tribulation. She couldn't have been struck to death, right?" Song Mingzhu patted her chest and said.
"I don't think so." Mo Yu said, "Looking at her, it shouldn't be her first time seeing a pill tribulation. She didn't panic at all. She'll be fine. "
"Hmph, it's better if he's dead! Isn't that right, Xuanxuan? "Gu Xiping snorted coldly.
Shen Yexuan only glanced at her and didn't say anything. Then, she continued to watch Sima Youyue's tribulation.
Every Alchemist understood that even for pills of the same grade and grade, those who had experienced a Pill Tribulation were different from those who had not. She had lost this competition.
However, she was interested in Sima Youyue. How could there be such a monster in this world?
After three bolts of tribulation lightning, the tribulation cloud reluctantly left. His wine was almost finished, and this guy didn't even send some over.
However, as a friend, she didn't seem to want to reveal their relationship in such an occasion. It was better for her to leave in a low-key manner.
To Sima Youyue, the Lightning Tribulation was like a tickle. The Purple Lightning was protesting in the Lightning Pool. This amount was not even enough to be an appetizer!
She placed the pills on a jade plate and looked down at Ji Qingyuan.
Ji Qingyuan came up and called the other contestants up.
Shen Yexuan and the others returned to their seats. On the table were the pills that they had just concocted.
Xia Chang Tian and Zhao Xiang Qi brought the four alchemists up and inspected their results one by one, announcing their results in front of everyone.
"Song Mingzhu, seventh rank advanced, third to complete."
"Gu Xiping, middle rank-seven, sixth completed."
"…"
"Mo Yu, top grade seventh rank."
"Shen Yexuan, low grade eighth rank."
Xia Chang Tian and the others came in front of Sima Youyue and picked up her pill to take a look. He smiled and said, "Sima Youyue, low grade eighth rank, two pill veins!"
He raised the pill in his hand and let everyone see the pill veins on it.
After that, he put the pill back and said to Sima Youyue, "Good job."
He then returned to the main stage.
Sima Youyue and the others packed up their things and returned to the resting area. The results of the competition would be announced today. They just had to wait a little longer.
On the main stage, the Sage Pavilion's Pavilion Master looked at Sima Youyue and twirled the thumb ring in his hand.
"You already knew, didn't you?" Shao Yun Xiao asked Wu Lingyu.
"Know what?" Wu Lingyu acted dumb and looked innocent.
"He's the person in the Dark Forest." Shao Yun Xiao said, "He's your junior brother. Don't you know that he was the one who did the Dark Forest?"
"He didn't tell me." Wu Lingyu said, "I've been in closed door cultivation for the past few years and haven't paid much attention to the outside world. I didn't see what happened in the Dark Forest with my own eyes."
"You really didn't know?" Shao Yun Xiao stared at him, trying to find something strange on his face.
"I know now." Wu Lingyu said lightly. His eyes looked as if he really only knew now.
"Bring him to see me tonight." Shao Yun Xiao said, "Can you do that?"
"Yes."
"Then I'll wait for you."
"Yes."
Wu Lingyu looked at Sima Youyue and saw the smile on her face. His lips curled into a faint smile.
It seemed that some things had to be brought forward.
Xia Chang Tian skimmed through the results that Ji Qing Yuan passed to him. He then stood up and cleared his throat, saying, "I'll now announce the results of this year's youth competition. First place, Sima Youyue. Second place, Shen Ye Xuan. Third place, Mo Yu. Fourth place … Now, may the top three come to the podium to receive your prizes."
Sima Youyue and the other two came to the center of the competition grounds where a podium had been set up. After they stood up, Xia Chang Tian and three maids walked up with trays.
He came in front of Mo Yu and handed her the box, saying, "Congratulations."
"Thank you, President." Mo Yu smiled as she received the prize.
Xia Chang Tian then came in front of Shen Ye Xuan and congratulated her before handing her the prize.
He then came in front of Sima Youyue and handed her the item, saying, "I knew that you wouldn't let me down. Congratulations. "
Sima Youyue knew that the box contained the Ten Thousand Year Maitreya Fruit. This thing was of no use to her now. However, she might as well keep it since it might be useful in the future.
She took the box and said, "Thank you."
After Xia Chang Tian gave the prizes to the three of them, he took a step back and said, "As the top three of this year's competition, I sincerely invite you to join the Alchemist Guild so that we can discuss and improve together."
Mo Yu was very happy and immediately agreed.
Shen Ye Xuan considered for a moment and said, "Thank you, President, for your kind intentions, but the clan can't do without me."
This was a tactful rejection.
Xia Chang Tian didn't have much of a reaction to her rejection since he had already guessed that she wouldn't join.
He looked at Sima Youyue.
Sima Youyue thought for a moment and said, "Thank you, President, for your invitation. However, Youyue still has matters to attend to so I'm afraid that I won't be able to stay in the guild."
"Youyue, don't you want to go further in the alchemy world?" Xia Chang Tian asked, "We have outstanding alchemists here that will be of great help to your future development. I …"
Sima Youyue still shook her head and said, "President, I'm not trying to shirk my responsibilities. I really do have matters to attend to and can't stay in one place for long."
Xia Chang Tian looked at her and made a decision in his heart.
