After removing all the low-quality pills,

Yao Changsheng and Vice President Ouyang exchanged a glance, silently agreeing not to give any more guiPillce to anyone.

Instead, they proceeded to appraise the remaining pills.

The twenty-nine jade bottles were then divided into two groups.

Vice President Ouyang had ten bottles, while Yao Changsheng had nineteen.

This move made it clear to everyone.

“Is this going to directly determine the results?”

“I wonder if the two alchemists invited by Miss Feng can produce pills that can enter the third round.”

“Heh, wanting to enter the third round is not that easy.”

“After all, there are many renowned third-tier alchemists here.”

“During the first round, anyone with discerning eyes could see that everyone was intentionally holding back.”

“Yes, Bai Xiu, Liu Ming, and that mysterious Alchemist Association girl, for instance.”

“The three of them will certainly make it to the top ten, and producing high-quality pills should be no problem for them.”

“Among the remaining third-tier alchemists, there are many who are esteemed guests from various major powers in Yunmeng City, each with their own family’s backing.”

“These people are well-known and have extremely high-level alchemy skills.”

“If they also go all out in this Alchemist Assembly, they might be able to produce high-quality pills.”

“At the very least, producing top-quality pills should not be a problem.”

“……”

At this moment, many people from the various major powers surrounding the alchemy platform still had some doubts.

Of course, these people’s analysis was reasonable.

“You seem a bit anxious.”

“You were quite confident in them earlier.”

Tuoba Junlin, standing not far from Feng Qingya, looked at Bai Susu with some curiosity.

Upon hearing this, Bai Susu replied coldly, “I’m not anxious, just a bit expectant.”

“Of course, if my expectations come true, then you should be the one getting anxious.”

Bai Susu’s words caused Tuoba Junlin’s eyebrows to furrow suddenly, as if he had fallen into deep thought.

“Are you looking forward to the two Breaking Through Adversity Pills they finally refined?”

“But if I’m not mistaken, the Breaking Through Adversity Pill is only a second-grade pill.”

“Could it be that there’s still an alchemist here who can produce a superior-quality pill?”

As Tuoba Junlin said this, he himself was startled.

However, Bai Susu simply raised an eyebrow and didn’t explain further.

She had only heard about this from Feng Qingya, and it hadn’t been confirmed yet.

They always emphasized being practical.

And at this moment, the one who was most anxious was actually Feng Qingya.

Throughout the entire first and second rounds of the alchemy process, Su Jingzhen and Xuening hadn’t had any communication with her.

And now she could see that the third-tier alchemists in the second round were all going all out.

Feng Qingya had once been a renowned figure in Yunmeng City, and she was familiar with many of these alchemists, knowing their strengths and weaknesses.

Of course, if the Alchemist Association hadn’t intervened, she would still have been very confident in Xuening.

But the Alchemist Association’s third-tier alchemists were indeed powerful, and would likely occupy at least half of the top ten spots.

This made her feel a bit uneasy.

She knew that Xuening and Su Jingzhen had the ability to produce superior-quality Breaking Through Adversity Pills.

But she didn’t know if they had succeeded this time.

After all, superior-quality pills were, in her understanding, rare and hard to come by.

However, despite her anxiety, her expression remained calm.

Sikong Tingyun, standing beside her, sensed something amiss.

He smiled and said, “Niece, although it’s not nice to say this, it’s always best to prepare for the worst.”

“If your two friends can’t make it to the third round or the top three, you can still bring them to my Spirit Sound Valley.”

“As long as you join Spirit Sound Valley, the Feng family won’t be able to do anything to you.”

“Even if there’s pressure from Qingzhou Holy City, my Spirit Sound Valley can resist it to some extent.”

As Sikong Tingyun spoke, his expression was very serious and his attitude was extremely solemn.

He took the initiative to approach Feng Qingya, on one hand to avenge Spirit Sound Inn and target the Feng family.

On the other hand, he genuinely admired Feng Qingya’s abilities.

But now, he was more interested in Su Jingzhen and Xuening’s abilities.

In any world, when top-tier individuals make decisions, they always weigh the pros and cons.

If it were only Feng Qingya, Sikong Tingyun wouldn’t mind helping her take revenge on the Feng family using the Spirit Sound Inn incident.

But if Xuening and Su Jingzhen, two young alchemy geniuses with boundless potential, were added to the mix…

Then his Spirit Sound Valley wouldn’t mind helping to bear the pressure from the Holy City’s Tuoba family.

As for Sikong Tingyun’s past relationship with Feng Qingya’s father, it might have some reference value.

But that could only be a small consideration.

“I’m sorry to have worried Uncle Sikong. If the time is right, Qingya will definitely consider it.”

Feng Qingya responded politely.

At this moment, Vice President Ouyang and Yao Changsheng on the judging platform finally picked up another pill.

“A third-tier pill, Dragon’s Power Pill, with a medium-quality grade.”

“It comes from the No. 78 alchemy platform.”

“This pill actually has the potential to be a high-quality pill, but your control over the fire timing is still a bit off.”

“If you let it simmer in the alchemy furnace for three more breaths, it might have a different presentation.”

“Master Hu, you’re also a seasoned third-tier alchemist.”

“I won’t say more, but unfortunately, you didn’t make it to the third round.”

Yao Changsheng looked at the middle-aged man in black robes on the 78th alchemy platform and said so.

As his words fell, a servant returned the pill to the 78th alchemy platform.

The middle-aged man bowed to Yao Changsheng, though he was disappointed, he was not resentful.

He knew that with only a medium-quality pill, he couldn’t compete with others.

And this time, the medium-quality third-tier pills would certainly not make it to the third round.

There were twelve such pills in total.

Without exception, all of them were eliminated by Yao Changsheng’s evaluation.

These people might have had the potential to produce high-quality or even superior-quality pills, but their alchemy skills didn’t quite live up to it, which was quite normal.

After eliminating the twelve medium-quality pills, there were only seventeen groups left!

This meant that all the remaining seventeen groups had high-quality or top-quality pills.

All the spectators on the Wind Bell Square fell silent involuntarily.

The quality of this Alchemy Conference was higher than anyone had expected.

Most people’s gazes were still fixed on Feng Qingya, Xuening, and Su Jingzhen.

Feng Qingya’s ability to regain her former status depended on whether they could make it to the third round.

Master Yao had seven pills left in front of him, and he didn’t hesitate to continue announcing the results.

As people had guessed, the remaining seven pills were all top-grade quality from the start.

“Third-grade pill, Jade Pearl Pill, top-quality… This pill is almost perfect, but unfortunately, it still didn’t make it to the third round.”

“Third-grade pill, Return to Origin Pill, top-quality…”

Master Yao continued to evaluate and eliminate the pills as before.

However, he knew that the eliminated alchemists would not be convinced.

But once the top ten who made it to the third round were announced, these people would understand.

As the jade bottles in front of Master Yao decreased, the audience’s emotions became increasingly tense.

Eliminating others didn’t bother the onlookers, but they were eager to know if Master Yao’s remaining jade bottles belonged to Su Jingzhen and Xue Ning.

Before long, there was only one jade bottle left in front of Master Yao!

Su Jingzhen and Xuening couldn’t help but feel anxious.

Although they had an ace up their sleeve, they still hoped that the Rebirth Pill could make it to the third round.

Feng Qingya on the stage was even more so.

Everyone was holding their breath, watching the jade bottle.

Master Yao and Vice-Chairman Ouyang’s eyes were also complex, but he didn’t hesitate and finally announced:

“The last person to be eliminated in the second round is from the No. 256 alchemy platform. Third-grade Rebirth Pill, top-quality!”

The audience fell silent again!

Some people were shocked, some were disappointed, and some smiled quietly…

Feng Qingya’s face turned pale, as if she had lost all her energy in an instant!
