The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

In reality, throughout the entire third round, Liu Ming had only seen Su Jingzhen and Xuening successfully merge the 48th medicinal material.

As for the others, Bai Xiu and Ye Zhiqiu, he hadn’t paid attention to their progress.

He didn’t know to what extent they had merged.

But in the past, he was at least on par with Bai Xiu.

He didn’t want to get involved in the Feng family’s affairs, and at this moment, he only cared about not losing to Bai Xiu, who was equally renowned as him.

As he said this, Liu Ming’s face was filled with stubbornness.

“Who would have thought that the first one to lose would be Liu Ming?”

“This might not be about being unable to accept defeat, but rather his pride wouldn’t allow him to acknowledge his failure.”

“But what’s the use of that? With so many cultivators watching, who can force him to lose besides those who truly surpass him in skill?”

At this moment, many onlookers began to discuss and speculate.

Their gazes towards Liu Ming had changed, with a hint of pity.

Most people actually felt a little pity for Liu Ming, who succeeded and lost at a young age.

Vice President Ouyang smiled and nodded, having anticipated Liu Ming’s doubts.

Without any hesitation, he directly poured out the medicinal pills from Liu Ming’s jade bottle.

The pills were only half-finished, and even had an elliptical shape.

The surface was rough and uneven, with some parts showing signs of being burnt.

This thing couldn’t even be considered a half-finished product.

At least, no one dared to try consuming a medicinal pill of this quality.

When Vice President Ouyang poured out the pills, Liu Ming’s face, which had been filled with defiance, now showed a hint of embarrassment.

After all, as a rising star in the alchemy world, he had never submitted such a low-quality product for evaluation before.

But this was, after all, a fourth-grade medicinal pill, and even among fourth-grade pills, it was considered top-tier.

Even though it had no medicinal value, the significance it represented was unmatched by other medicinal pills.

Vice President Ouyang spoke again, “The Bodhi Breaking Through Adversity Pill requires the complete fusion of all 48 medicinal materials to be considered successful. You only managed to fuse 42 materials.”

As he finished speaking, Vice President Ouyang picked up another jade bottle and poured out the medicinal pills inside, which belonged to Bai Xiu.

This pill, on the surface, wasn’t much better than Liu Ming’s. Its shape was also irregular, and its surface was similarly rough and uneven. However, at least this pill didn’t have as many burn marks as Liu Ming’s.

Vice President Ouyang said, “Bai Xiu, you have ranked third overall in this Alchemy Conference! This Bodhi Breaking Through Adversity Pill of yours has fused 45 medicinal materials. Although it’s still not a complete pill, it’s clear that you have surpassed Liu Ming in terms of fusion.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Ming’s face turned pale again. He, of course, knew that in this third round, except for the top two, the quality of the pills didn’t matter. The ranking was determined solely by the number of medicinal materials fused.

He just didn’t expect Bai Xiu to have fused 45 materials. There was no need to personally inspect the pills; under the watchful eyes of the crowd, no one could fake the results.

“Now, Liu Ming, do you still have any objections?”

As Vice President Ouyang spoke, his tone became slightly more serious. Liu Ming clenched his fists, but the facts were right in front of him. Even if he was unwilling to accept, he had no words to say.

“I have no objections.”

His voice was much softer, as if all his energy had been drained from him. After speaking, he didn’t linger on the alchemy platform. He directly walked down from the platform, heading towards the outside of Wind Bell Island.

A proud and arrogant person like him would find it difficult to accept this reality.

“It’s a pity. If Liu Ming’s mindset remains stuck like this, he might never make progress in his life.”

“Hehe, every era will have its talents emerge. If one becomes complacent and stuck in their own world, it’s difficult to have a correct understanding of oneself.”

“…”

Liu Ming’s departure at this moment naturally sparked a heated discussion among the onlookers. Most people felt a sense of pity, as he was once a shining new star.

However, more people didn’t seem to care about Liu Ming’s departure. Their attention was still focused on the judging platform.

There were still two jade bottles left, and everyone wanted to know who would be the first, Ye Zhiqiu or Su Jingzhen.

At this moment, Vice President Ouyang didn’t keep them in suspense, picking up another jade bottle and gazing at Ye Zhiqiu.

“The second place in the overall ranking of this Alchemist Conference is Ye Zhiqiu!”

As soon as Vice President Ouyang spoke, the entire hall fell silent again. Then, the discussion erupted even more fiercely.

“It’s really become a dark horse! Who would have thought that the two people who weren’t favored in the first round would make it to the end and snatch first place in the Alchemy Conference?”

“Incredible, I don’t know where Miss Feng found these two. Maybe after this Alchemy Conference, Miss Feng can really regain her former status in the Feng family.”

“I wonder what the people in power in the Feng family will think about this.”

“…”

The onlookers were naturally not tired of the drama. Their gazes kept wandering around the Feng family crowd.

As the crowd discussed, a line of golden text appeared in front of Su Jingzhen.

He subconsciously looked at Feng Qingya below the stage. Feng Qingya’s gaze was also directed at him, with a calm and gentle smile on her face.

However, her excitement was already evident in the three consecutive emotional connections.

When Feng Qingya’s emotional connection points were triggered, Xuening beside him also excitedly grabbed his sleeve.

“Brother Su, we really did it! We got first place!”

Xuening’s expression was extremely excited, and as soon as she spoke, another line of golden text appeared in front of Su Jingzhen.

In just a short moment, two sets of three consecutive emotional connections had occurred.

Su Jingzhen’s heart was truly filled with joy.

What honor, what value, he didn’t care about.

These points were the most realistic things.

At the Alchemy Conference, Su Jingzhen felt that the points he had obtained were somewhat making him feel complacent.

When everyone’s emotions were at their most intense, Vice President Ouyang didn’t stop.

He took out the pill that Su Jingzhen and the others had refined once again.

“First place, from the 256th Alchemy Platform.”

“Young Friend Su Jingzhen, and Young Lady Xuening.”

At this time, Vice President Ouyang held two pills in his hands, both of which looked quite round.

The one on the left was Su Jingzhen’s, which was entirely red but had a faint green tint.

The one on the right was from Ye Zhiqiu, which was completely red.

“Both pills have fused 48 types of medicinal materials and have completed the final step of the Bodhi Breaking Through Adversity Pill.”

“Su Jingzhen and Xuening’s pill has already infused the Bodhi liquid, which can exhibit some of the effects of the Bodhi Breaking Through Adversity Pill.”

“While Ye Zhiqiu’s pill, the amount of Bodhi liquid infused is far from reaching the standard.”

“It didn’t even produce a glow.”

“If Su Jingzhen and Xuening’s pill barely reached the lower quality, then Ye Zhiqiu’s can only be considered a half-finished product of slightly better quality.”

“I, Vice President Ouyang, have ranked them thus. Can you, Ye Zhiqiu, accept this?”

The other people’s refined pills didn’t need to be mentioned.

After Vice President Ouyang’s explanation, Ye Zhiqiu and Su Jingzhen’s pills were convincing to everyone.

Ye Zhiqiu respectfully bowed to Vice President Ouyang: “Disciple has no objections!”

After Vice President Ouyang’s announcement, the third round could be considered completely over.

At this time, most people’s gazes turned towards the Feng family group.

Almost everyone in the Feng family group had an unpleasant expression.

However, at this time, Elder Feng Lie still stood up.

He slowly walked towards the alchemy platform.
