Chapter 548: What Pill To Choose?

At this instant, the array display screen had already showed the 2nd place. It was displayed clearly: 2nd Place: Participating Immortal City - High Grade City, Long Light Immortal City; Participating Pill Refiner - Gong Yangxue. Points: 97.711. Advanced into the second round.

Gong Yangxue was one of the top Pill Emperors in the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance. The number of Pill Emperors that exceeded him could be counted in one hand.

However, this Pill Emperor only got 2nd place. There was still one more name; even a fool would know that the 1st place was this unknown, young pill refiner. If there wasn’t anything wrong with the arrays, then this pill refiner must have cheated.

This alchemy competition was not the biggest to have been held, but its importance was one of the top. Even the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance wouldn’t want to cheat in such a competition. Even if the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance was any stronger, if it dared to cheat in such an important competition, it would only be digging its own grave.

Even Gong Yangxue, Heng Jun and the other Pill Emperors were looking at Mo Wuji; they also wanted to know how things would turn up.

The involved personnel, Mo Wuji, was not a half bit flustered. When he saw that Gong Yangxue only had 97.711 points, he knew that he was definitely 1st place. Under normal circumstances, he could purify Tier 5 and Tier 6 immortal herbs to a purity of over 99%. Even though this round’s Jade Pomegranate Immortal Grass was hard, it would not dip below 99%.

The originally noisy site was now silent. Everyone was waiting for the 1st place to come out and wait for the organisers to give them an explanation.

In the concentrated stares of the crowd, the 1st place finally appeared. As everyone expected, it was an unfamiliar name.

1st Place: Participating Immortal City - Low Grade City, Water Ying Immortal City; Participating Pill Refiner - Mo Xinghe. Points: 99.361. Advanced into the second round.

”Boom!” Almost at the same time, everyone burst into noise. Everyone was discussing and everyone was staring at the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance’s Vice Head He Zhenyu, as well as Yong Ying Immortal Domain’s Heavenly Emperor Kui Fengyun. They wanted these people to give a reasonable explanation for such results.

The people, who were supposed to be happy, the Wen Family, were now having pale expressions on their faces. They were naturally happy that Mo Wuji obtained a good placing. But Mo Wuji’s placing was too good; too good to the point where they’re afraid; too good to the point where even they couldn’t accept it.

The moment there was a problem with the placing, the first person to be killed would naturally be Mo Wuji. After Mo Wuji was killed, the blame wouldn’t be bourne by the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance, nor Yong Ying Immortal Domain’s Heavenly Emperor, but his Water Ying Immortal City.

In other words, he, Wen Hou, as the castellan of Water Ying Immortal City would be the second one to be killed. After he was killed, the rest of his family would simply be ants left to be stomped.

Hu Zhenyu walked to the front of the main altar. The crowd had quietened down as they all stared at Hu Zhenyu.

Hu Zhenyu’s gaze moved from Mo Wuji to the people in the plaza, then he said loudly, ”I know what everyone is saying. I am now explicitly telling everyone: the first round is true and effective; the results are accurate with no errors. There is no problem with the grading array, nor is there any problem with the display screen. Of course, if any pill refiners feel that there is a problem with your score, you can stand forward. We will allow your medicinal essence be publicly graded…”

As he said this, Hu Zhenyu’s gaze swept across some of the eliminated pill refiners, then he said with greater solemnity, ”If there’s indeed a problem with your score, then there’s no need for you to take part in the second round and you would be allowed to enter Yunxian Immortal Valley. Of course, if the score turns out to be correct, then you would be directly killed. Now, any pill refiners with doubts over your score may come forward. We will immediately score your products.”

Everyone’s eyes turned to the seats where the pill refiners were. A whole half an incense’s time passed but no one believed that their scores were wrong.

A pill refiner had a firm understanding of their own capabilities. They all knew very clearly that the results from the array were correct and accurate. It might even be more precise than their own estimations.

After waiting for half an incense’s time and no one stepped forward, Hu Zhenyu nodded, ”Looks like all the pill refiners are clear that the array is correct. So the results from this round are effective. Since that’s the case, we will not waste anymore time and begin with the second round.”

The second round was about to begin; this meant that there weren’t any problems with Mo Wuji or the grading array. Many people began to look at Mo Wuji with envy. Mo Wuji was able to pass the first round with almost a full mark. As long as he could obtain a set score in the second round, he would very likely be able enter the top 50.

Of course, if Mo Wuji wasn’t even able to obtain a good score in the second round, then that would mean that his first round results might be fake.

…

”Father, Brother Mo’s results are actually real, he actually obtained 1st place with 99.361 points. Now, our Water Ying Immortal City definitely wouldn’t be some other city’s subsidiary. If Mo Wuji’s second round results are good, we might even be promoted to become an intermediate grade city…” When she heard the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance’s Vice Alliance Head declare that the results were effective, Wen Lianxi stood up in emotion.

Yan Qianling and Wen Hou were also incomparably excited. Yan Qianling hurriedly grabbed her daughter’s hand and got Wen Lianxi to sit down.
