Chapter 469: Grand Competition Finals (Seventeen)

The next day, the Alchemy Competition of the Six Major Sects was held as scheduled.

When Lou Mu Yan arrived on the competition field, she discovered that today’s field was livelier than usual and many new faces emerged, each with extraordinary cultivation base.

She hooked the corners of her lips. It seemed that Bai Fei Yao was pretty popular among the old pupils of the Inner Sect of Heavenly Secret Palace.

The clear bell rang, and the Alchemy Competition officially started.

As soon as she entered the platform, she heard the enthusiastic exclamations of numerous pupils echoing throughout the competition field.

“Junior Sister Bai!”

“Senior Sister Bai!”

Among such exclamations, it made it seem as if the other pupils had all become foils, and even Wei Yu, the winner thought to win the championship also became a green leaf to contrast Bai Fei Yao, the fresh flower.

“Thank you for your love, Senior Brothers, Senior Sisters, Junior Brothers, Junior Sisters. Fei Yao will do her best today and not let you all down.” Bai Fei Yao smiled innocently and confidently after taking the stage.

Lou Mu Yan raised an eyebrow indifferently. Bai Fei Yao, this hypocritical woman, sure was really good at putting on a façade. Probably more than half of the pupils in Heavenly Secret Palace liked her.

Wei Yu had been observing Lou Mu Yan, and seeing that she didn’t reveal any expression of envy or disgust towards such an outstanding Bai Fei Yao, a hint of interest rose in his heart.

Although he indulged in Alchemy, but he was also extremely accurate in discerning people. This was his unique talent he was born with.

On the surface, Bai Fei Yao was simple and cute and had a sense of liveliness, but in secret, her behaviour was more venomous than a vibrant serpent, and was extremely hypocritical.

On the other hand, Lou Mu Yan was calm and composed, seemingly lazy and arrogant, but in fact, her true temperament should be somewhat cold, and was casual when treating others—like was like, and hate was hate.

Although Lou Mu Yan also hid her true temperament, but she was completely different from Bai Fei Yao’s hypocrisy. She disdained to pretend and falsify.

Between the two beauties, although Bai Fei Yao appeared more attractive to men on the surface, but he preferred Lou Mu Yan’s temperament.

“Junior Sister Lou, we’re both experiencing being a green leaf for once.” Wei Yu’s position was right beside Lou Mu Yan, and a proper smile appeared on his warm face.

Lou Mu Yan glanced at him, then chuckled: “Green leaves complement beauties. I think Senior Brother Wei and Beauty Bai are quite a match.”

Wei Yu’s eyelids twitched—as if he wanted to be in the company of a venomous serpent beauty.

“Beauty Bai already has a lot of green leaves as her foil, so this one Wei won’t get involved.” Wei Yu smiled.

During the conversation between the two, Bai Fei Yao’s gaze flickered, and she walked over with a smile, “This time, Senior Brother Wei is a favourite to win the championship. Please give me more advice during the competition later.”

She stood beside Wei Yu with a charming and lovely appearance, but deliberately ignored Lou Mu Yan.

Lou Mu Yan didn’t care at all. It wasn’t like she was interested in Wei Yu—Bai Fei Yao regarded herself too highly.

“Junior Sister Bai is more popular than me in winning the championship. I will need Junior Sister’s advice later.” Wei Yu’s clear and handsome face was full of jade-like gentleness, but there was distance in his eyes.

Bai Fei Yao chatted with him a little more and was unhappy when she saw that he kept a distance from her perfectly.

When she inadvertently looked up, she saw that her beloved Senior Brother Chi was standing tall and straight, bedazzling like the sun in the viewing seats of the Heavenly Secret Palace and she suddenly felt a nervous excitement in her heart.

Will Senior Brother Chi really see her goodness as long as she won the Alchemy Competition’s championship today?

“The Alchemy Competition starts now, I will announce the rules.”

Bai Fei Yao and Wei Yu chatted a little more then returned to their positions after the referee stood up and announced the Alchemy Competition’s rules.

“The Alchemy Competition is divided into two matches. In the first match, all pupils are required to refine a kind of pill prescribed by us. The Spiritual Herbs will also be provided by us. The pupils who refine it will enter the next round and the pupils who fail will be eliminated automatically.

“The second match is the championship competition. Each participating pupil can perform freely, prepare your own Spiritual Herbs, and the pupils who refine the highest grade of pill will win the championship. The ranking below the first place will be in a similar fashion.

“Alright, the first match will begin.”

Lou Mu Yan picked up the pill formula on the table and took a look. It was the Advanced-Level Grade 4 Elemental Recovery Pill.

Without much hesitation, she picked up all the Spiritual Herbs in the first tray and tossed them all into her own Cyan Cauldron and began to refine them.

Bai Fei Yao and Wei Yu didn’t have such strong Mental Energy like her, so they could only refine each herb one by one, but their movements were skilled, and took much less time than other pupils.

The Vermillion Fruit in the Elemental Recovery Pill required strong fire control. Its skin must be softened first, then roast its flesh with low flames before finally constantly changing between middle flames and large flames.

All Grade 4 Alchemists understood this principle, but there were very few Alchemists who could really control the firepower in one go.

Lou Mu Yan’s talent in refining pills in both her past and present life was excelling, not to mention she had pill refining experience that had been deeply rooted into her bones and marrow. Her movements were always pleasing to the eye and among all the pupils, she seemed to refine the pills the easiest.

“Lou Mu Yan sure is courageous to even dare throw the Vermillion Fruit into the cauldron to refine altogether with the rest. Isn’t she afraid of the cauldron exploding.” A Headmaster of the Medicine Sect furrowed his brows slightly. In his opinion, Lou Mu Yan was grandstanding using such a method of refining pills.

“Is there something special about the Vermillion Fruit?” The Headmaster of the Sword Sect asked in confusion.

The Headmaster of the Medicine Sect explained: “The firepower required for refining the Vermillion Fruit needs to be constantly changing between low fire, medium fire, and large fire, but other Spiritual Herbs don’t require it. Lou Mu Yan refined it altogether, but if she can’t control the firepower well, it will explode immediately.”

As soon as he finished speaking, there were several harsh explosions on the competition stage—two of the pupils’ cauldrons had shattered.

“See, those two were caused by the careless control of firepower when refining the Vermillion Fruit.” The Headmaster of the Medicine Sect said.

Huo Ling Long raised an eyebrow, “Other pupils can’t control their firepower well, but it doesn’t mean Lou Mu Yan can’t control it.”

“I didn’t say her cauldron would definitely explode either, but I just think that her approach is too unstable. Alchemy doesn’t advocate trying to do it as fast as possible. The most important thing is the quality of the pill.” The Headmaster of the Medicine Sect replied seriously.

Huo Ling Long sneered and said: “Why not if you can decrease the time used to refine pills? That’s why I say you’re all stuck as Grade 6 Alchemists, finding it hard to advance. This is the reason.”

“Huo Ling Long, you a Talisman Master, have no right to question our alchemy skills.” The Headmaster of the Medicine Sect revealed a bit of anger.

The Headmaster of the Vast Mountain Sect took the opportunity to add fuel to fire and said: “Huo Ling Long, you think too highly of Lou Mu Yan. When the time comes, it sure would be interesting to see not just her failing to grandstand, but even be unable to enter the second match.”

“Is that so?” Huo Ling Long raised the corner of her lips, pointed downward, and said: “You old things, keep your eyes wide open, Lou girl is starting to condense her pills now.”

When the several people heard her say this, they immediately turned their attention to Lou Mu Yan and saw that she had actually finished refining the Spiritual Herbs and the Vermillion Fruit in such a short time in the cauldron. Not only did her cauldron not explode, but she even started to condense her pills.

The several people revealed a look of shock in their eyes, and their faces turned red and white.

Headmaster Feng couldn’t help but smile—this was a timely slap in the face!

“Humph, a group of overconfident, ignorant old things that consider themselves aloof and don’t seek to improve.” Huo Ling Long pursed her lips and was too lazy to care about them.

These several decrepit old things just wanted to step on Lou Mu Yan seeing how talented she was—well now they were slapped in the face, no?
