In order to not attract attention, they chose a spot far away from the stage. This way, even if they lose, they can quickly leave the stage and not be criticized by others.
Furthermore, Muyun Old Devil was asking for everyone's questions out of politeness. Ye Feng interrupted her opening speech, making it difficult for Muyun Old Devil to step down.
Muyun Old Devil furrowed her brows, "Little brother. What do you want to ask? Don't waste everyone's time. Make it as simple as possible. "
For her disciple's sake, she was able to control herself. If it was someone else, she would've yelled at them already.
Ye Zifeng smiled, "I want to ask. If there's someone who always gets last place in the alchemy competition, then does that person still need to participate in the next competition?"
The crowd burst into an uproar when they heard this.
That Tonghuo City's Hua Shao laughed, "Did you guys hear that? Those people from Leizhou City don't even have the face to participate in the alchemy competition. How about we don't let them participate in the next competition. They always get last place. We need to think about their feelings! "
Liu Bingqian panicked and looked at Ye Zifeng in shock, "Big brother rough guy. What are you doing? Do you want me to lose face in front of everyone? "
Other than her family, the person she trusted the most was Ye Zifeng. She trusted him even more than Yang Jing. But now, Ye Zifeng was standing in front of her. In front of everyone, Ye Zifeng revealed the scar that she had suffered in the alchemy competition.
Muyun Old Devil glared at Ye Zifeng. Even though she didn't want to help her disciple, she had already rejected Hua Shao's suggestion. She was helping Bingqian.
But now, Ye Zifeng had once again brought this matter to the forefront of everyone's attention.
After hearing Ye Zifeng's words, the others didn't have anything to worry about anymore.
"That's right. Lord Old Devil. I think that this little brother is right. As the last place in the alchemy competition, there's no need to participate anymore. How about we start this year's competition with an elimination system?"
"I agree. With this last-place elimination system, it can also encourage all the Alchemists to work hard to learn alchemy skills and urge everyone to learn. This method is very useful!"
In everyone's eyes, Lei Zhou City's Liu Bing Qian would definitely be last. Since it had nothing to do with them, they could say whatever they wanted.
The scene of the discussion caused Mu Yun to be unable to get down from the stage. Her expression was especially ugly.
"Ye Feng, what do you mean by this? Speak clearly! "
Ye Feng smiled faintly, "What everyone means is what I mean, but my thoughts are even further. From this season onwards, those who don't advance to the top three will all be eliminated and will not be allowed to participate in the next round of the Grand Pill Competition! "
"What?"
When Ye Zifeng said this, the people from Qushui City and Huangtu City couldn't sit still anymore. The two of them had taken turns to be the second to last place. If they were eliminated because of Ye Feng's words, then they would die a wronged death.
"You bastard from Leizhou City. What are you talking about? Are you trying to drag someone down with you before you die? Is that what you're trying to say?"
The representative from Huangtu City was a handsome scholar named Xu Zhen. Seeing that Ye Zifeng's words were related to his own interests, he immediately felt annoyed.
Ye Zifeng smiled, "So you're saying that you won't be able to advance to the top three?"
"You!" Xu Zhen was speechless. He didn't know what to say.
Ye Zifeng respectfully cupped his hands towards Muyun Old Devil, "I hope that Lord Old Devil will approve it."
When he said that, he wasn't talking about the people on the stage. He was talking about the people in the audience. To be able to make the competition more exciting, everyone wanted to see this result.
"This ….." Muyun Old Devil started to ponder.
If Ye Zifeng only wanted to eliminate one person, then Muyun Old Devil wouldn't agree. However, if he eliminated two people, then Bingqian's face would be much better.
Because of this, Muyun Old Devil thought that Ye Zifeng did this so that Bingqian wouldn't be humiliated in the alchemy competition anymore. Thinking about this, Muyun Old Devil's expression became a lot better. She felt that she wasn't wrong about Ye Zifeng. How can a guy who thinks that her beard is pretty be a bad person?
Other than Mu Yun, Liu Bing Qian also understood. Thus, she immediately smiled through her tears. Her beautiful eyes flashed with a bright light. She also thought that she understood Ye Feng's "good intentions".
"Alright. I promise you. I'll change the rules this time. Those that don't advance to the top three will not be allowed to participate in the next competition. "
Silence, absolute silence.
Everyone was astonished by this earth-shattering change in the Laws.
Muyun Old Devil's words were very smart. She didn't make it too obvious. She only said 'participants' and not 'cities'. In other words, there will still be five participants next year. It's just that it's someone else.
After a while, everyone started to discuss.
"No way. Is this year's alchemy competition going to defy the heavens? Muyun Old Devil is so bold! "
"No shit. What kind of person is Muyun Old Devil? Even if the experts of the Celestial Sect of Wonders meet her face to face, they would still have to be polite to her. So, no matter what she says, who would dare to not listen?
Muyun Old Devil's words were like a mountain pressing down on the hearts of the participants. The elimination system caused the originally relaxed atmosphere to instantly become tense.
"Does anyone have any more questions?"
This time, Muyun Old Devil looked at Ye Zifeng. She wanted to see if he was going to play any tricks. In the end, Ye Zifeng only smiled and shook his head.
Muyun Old Devil nodded and looked at everyone. She scratched her beard and yelled, "Since no one has any more questions, then I, Muyun Old Devil, will announce that this year's alchemy competition officially begins!"
After she finished speaking, everyone's faces turned serious. They no longer had any contempt on their faces.
"Bring out the ingredients!"
Several of the Muyun Manor's Iron Guards quickly moved the five pill furnaces in front of each participant in the great hall in fear and trepidation.
Apart from that, the medicinal ingredients that everyone received were exactly the same. They had all been strictly controlled in terms of quantity, and tried their best to achieve the principle of fairness and justice.
"According to last year's alchemy competition, everyone please take your places. First is Lingfeng City, second is Tonghuo City, then Qushui City, Huangtu City, and Leizhou City. Please take your places as well."
The alchemy experts of the five small cities surrounding Tiandao City stood in front of their respective pill furnaces under the watchful eyes of the crowd. The tables used to place the medicinal ingredients were also completely set up.
The competition was about to start and everyone was talking about it.
"I'm not sure about the others but Lingfeng City's Qi Zimo is definitely first and Leizhou City's Bingqian is definitely last. I can only say that ….."
"Not necessarily. Look at Tonghuo City's Hua Shao. He might even be able to fight against Qi Zimo."
"Ai ….. After the rules changed, I wonder if Qushui City's Yi Hao or Huangtu City's Xu Zhen will be second to last ….."
Bingqian stood in front of the cauldron and had an embarrassed look on her face. She blushed and looked at the ingredients and then at Ye Zifeng.
"Big Brother Rough Guy, can you tell what kind of pill these herbs are used to refine?"
Ye Zifeng's expression changed and looked at her, "No way. Bingqian. You don't even know this?"
Actually, Ye Zifeng felt that it was a bit strange. Bingqian was the number one huang tier alchemist in Leizhou City. It's fine if she doesn't know what ingredients are used for the Thunder Spirit Pill but she doesn't even know what ingredients are used for the Thunder Spirit Pill.
Liu Bingqian's delicate body trembled. She was so shy that she couldn't even raise her head. "I've been refining pills since I was young. Master always gave me the pill recipe, and then I would refine it. There are so many strange and rare ingredients. How would I know what to use …"
"This ….." Hearing this, Ye Zifeng was startled. He finally understood what Bingqian's problem was. It wasn't that her alchemy skills weren't good enough. It was that she made a mistake when choosing the ingredients to concoct the pill.
No matter how skilled she is, if she doesn't control the amount of ingredients she uses, it'll all be useless. Ye Zifeng finally found the reason why Bingqian was at the bottom.
Muyun Old Devil thought about it for a bit and looked at everyone, "The time limit is one hour. I need everyone to concoct a Yuan Increasing Pill. Other than this, I won't give you any hints. Anyone who cheats will be disqualified from the next competition. If you understand, then start concocting. I wish everyone a good result! "
The Yuan Increasing Pill was not only used to increase the amount of spiritual energy, but it was also used to increase the quality of spiritual energy. It was beneficial to people of different realms. Muyun Old Devil wanted everyone to refine this pill in order to cater to the needs of the entire market when the pill was auctioned. She wanted to sell it for a relatively good price and then split it with the participants.
After she finished speaking, everyone's eyes lit up and immediately began to concoct. Even Hua Shao from Tonghuo City had a serious expression on his face. He didn't seem to be slacking off at all.
Different kinds of mortal grade flames of different colors began to form on the fingertips of each of them according to the attributes of each person's spiritual energy.
Normally, the main alchemist would concoct the recipe and the secondary alchemist would preheat the flame. This was the reason why two people were required to participate in the competition.
However, compared to the other participants, Bingqian didn't even know how to concoct the recipe. She was thinking about the ingredients for the Yuan Increasing Pill.
