Even though he was still presiding the competition, Hu Zhenyu had already sent Mo Wuji's information to the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance Headquarters, requesting for the Headquarters to investigate on this person's origins.
With Hu Zhenyu's foresight, how could he not know that Mo Wuji would definitely be a Pill Emperor as long as he didn't die? The Pill Dao Immortal Alliance was lacking young blood, now that Hu Zhenyu had spotted a future Pill Emperor, how could he simply let this talent go?
…
After another 20 to 30 names appeared, Mo Wuji's heart gradually settled down. He discovered that among those pill refiners whose names had already appeared, almost all of them had concocted Tier 6 pills, but their pill success rate was pitifully low.
On average, they were either intermediate or low grade pills. And there was no need to talk about a full batch, it was already rare for them to obtain a third of a full batch. A few refiners that tried to concoct the relatively hard Tied 6 pills practically only managed to get 2 to 3 low grade pills.
Mo Wuji soon understood the underlying reason. It wasn't due to the incapabilities of these pill refiners, but because of the fire.
The fire here was limiting their capabilities; they should originally able to concoct six pills, but because of the fire, they could only obtain 1 to 2 pills, and the quality of the pills was really lacking.
Mo Wuji secretly thought to himself that he had the greatest advantage in this competition. He wasn't picky about his flames; a better flame would cause his pill concoction to be faster and his quality to be better. But even with a bad flame, he could still successfully concoct the pill. Even though there was definitely an impact, it wasn't to the point of other pill refiners where he would fail his concoction.
Mo Wuji did not recognize any of the names on the screen; he was also not interested in knowing these people. He only hoped that his name was in the top 50; as long as his name was in the top 50, it meant that he had succeeded.
The display screen soon came to the 51st place: Participating Immortal City - Intermediate Grade City, Red Emperor Immortal City; Participating Pill Refiner - Fei Gao. Pill - Tier 6 Immortal Copious Pill. 8 pills - 4 high grade, 4 intermediate grade. Points: 71.315.
When Mo Wuji saw that he wasn't the 51st name, his heart completely settled down; he knew that he had definitely advanced into the top 50.
He was in the top 50 in both the first and second rounds, so he would definitely be in the overall top 50.
Mo Wuji knew this Fei Gao; this fella obtained 6th place in the first round. He never expected that this fella could be so good at purification, but his pill concoction would be so lacking. Don't just look at this fella's 6th place in the first round; because he didn't get into the top 50 in the second round, it was still uncertain whether he would eventually end up in the overall top 50.
In the first round, everyone's point difference was extremely small; the point difference between the 1st and 100th place was only a little more than 1 point.
It was exactly because of the tiny point gaps that Mo Wuji previously did not dare confirm that he would enter the top 50 even though he got 1st place in the first round.
Actually, with this sort of competition format, the top 50 in the second round would basically be the overall top 50.
At this instant, the 50th place also appeared: Participating Immortal City - High Grade City, Pu Luo Immortal City; Participating Pill Refiner - Wen Chengbu. Pill - Tier 6 Sword Qi Domain Splitting Pill. 6 pills - 5 high grade, 1 intermediate grade. Points: 73.521.
The moment this score appeared, Mo Wuji knew that the Fei Gao that obtained 6th place in the first round had been eliminated. This Wen Chengbu's first round score was still at the other display screen: 91.461. Even though he didn't get into the top 50 in the previous round, his total score still exceeded Fei Gao.
If even Wen Chengbu got more than 73 points, it would be harder for Fei Gao to get into the top 50.
Indeed, the 49th place had a score that was more than 75 points. When Fei Gao saw this score, he could only sigh in emotion and sat down dejectedly. He was only behind by a little bit, just a little bit more and he could have gotten into the top 50. However, this little bit was extremely hard to get.
Knowing that he had definitely gotten into the top 50, Mo Wuji didn't care any further. He also sat down and closed his eyes. At the same time, he was considering how he should leave Yong Ying Immortal Domain after he entered Yunxian Immortal Valley and obtained the Underworld Heart Flower.
…
When the 50th place came out and it still wasn't Mo Wuji's name, Water Ying’s Castellan Wen Hou could no longer hold it in as he stood up in excitement.
Ever since he became the castellan of Water Ying Immortal City, he never thought that there would be a day when Water Ying Immortal City would be promoted to an intermediate grade city. At this instant, Water Ying Immortal City's promotion was set in stone, they only needed to wait for all the results to be flashed.
”Lord Husband…” Yan Qianling tightly grabbed Wen Hou's hands, pulling him to sit down.
Only she could best understand her husband's heart; ever since the Yong Ying Grand Alchemy Competition began, Wen Hou's heart had been on tenterhooks. He was clearer than everyone else that if Water Ying Immortal City failed in the competition and got reduced to become a subsidiary city, their lives would be especially miserable.
