The crazy uncle-master went on a killing spree, and the whole sect was burned to death!

Chapter 419 Huo Jinchuan's Judgment!

In the Southern Region camp, the Fourth Elder squinted and sized up Wu Qingfeng several times.

Before she set off, the sect leader specifically instructed her to be careful of the people from the Medicine King Sect, and also briefly mentioned the grudges between Song Wanning and the Medicine King Sect.

Therefore, she was very wary of Wu Qingfeng, fearing that he might secretly harm Song Wanning.

She had to keep a close eye on Wu Qingfeng's movements at all times and absolutely could not give him any opportunities.

……

"Young friend Huo, do you have a cultivator in mind?"

The city lord asked Huo Jinchuan casually.

She was genuinely surprised by the Central Domain's intervention this time, since the Central Domain rarely opens its barrier to outsiders except for exceptionally outstanding individuals.

"That young demon lord seems quite impressive."

Although Huo Jinchuan was smiling, his eyes and brows were full of aloofness.

"And that one too."

He glanced at Song Wanning, a strange light flashing in his eyes, then looked at Xiao Heyun, "This one should be quite good as well."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, the city lord raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Young friend Huo said he doesn't know how to refine pills, but his insight is so sharp, he doesn't seem like someone who doesn't know how to refine pills at all..."

She was also a master of alchemy, so she could naturally see the prowess of these three, but Huo Jinchuan was different...

"I'm just guessing randomly, it's not accurate."

Huo Jinchuan's expression remained unchanged, so natural that even the city lord couldn't quite fathom it.

However, this person is likely to be the future head of the Huo family, so he can't be too simple.

……

Half an hour later, the young demon lord was the first to refine the pill, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

He had just finished when Song Wanning also put away her alchemical fire, and a medicinal fragrance spread throughout the surrounding area.

"She didn't explode?"

An elder joked, and the crowd didn't seem to have much ill will towards him; they just found it strange.

Xiao Heyun also finished refining pills at this moment. Upon hearing this, he glanced at Song Wanning and felt a sense of resentment rising in his heart.

I was only able to master alchemy so quickly thanks to the system's rewards; this woman is truly remarkable…

Another incense stick's time passed, and everyone finished refining pills.

No one exploded the furnace, and no one failed; they all successfully refined the seventh-grade Soul Nourishing Pill.

"The first round of competition is over. Next, we will conduct the pill testing. Please recover and wait for the final results!"

At the steward's command, servants walked up the stone platform one after another, put everyone's pills into plates, and carried them up to the city lord's high platform.

At the same time, these images were clearly displayed in mid-air, and the cultivators watching below could see them clearly.

"Wow, that's incredible! Five of them have successfully refined top-grade pills!"

"That young demon lord is truly amazing. Not only is his cultivation level formidable, but his alchemy skills are also exceptional..."

"That Song Wanning from the Ancient Cold Sect is even more unexpected! Who said she's been causing explosions in her furnace every day? All four of her pills are top-grade!!!"

"..."

The crowd erupted in excitement; quite a few people had successfully refined top-grade pills this time.

Besides the Demon Clan's young master, Song Wanning, and Xiao Heyun, the remaining two are disciples of the Medicine King Sect.

Although Lu Yi and Wu Feng did not refine any top-grade pills, they had the advantage of a large quantity, which allowed them to advance steadily to the next round.

Below the stage, Wu Qingfeng and the Canglan Sect elders both had extremely grim expressions.

Song Wanning/Xiao Heyun are so amazing, it's infuriating!

"The results of this round of competition are in. Only fifty people have advanced to the second round. Those who have not been selected, please step down from the stage!"

As the list was released, many cultivators lowered their heads and dejectedly left the stage. But being able to participate was an honor in itself, and with that thought in mind, everyone came to their senses and jumped off the stage to continue watching the competition.

The remaining cultivators took pills to continue recovering their spiritual energy, and only began the second round of the competition after an incense stick had burned.

"In the second round of the competition, please use the medicinal herbs on the stage to refine an eighth-grade pill, the Breakthrough Pill!"

When the manager made his second round of demands, the audience erupted in commotion, and even the cultivators on the stage were taken aback.

Breakthrough Pill is a pill that can help people break through their limits. It is very difficult to refine. One of the medicinal materials required is called Xuanji Grass, which grows in the extremely harsh conditions of Cangshan Pass and is very rare.

All these factors combined make the Breakthrough Pill extremely precious; at the very least, such pills are never sold to the public.

They can only provide the medicinal herbs, and you still have to spend a lot of spirit stones to hire a master alchemist to refine them.

This was clearly the opinion of those people in the Central Region.

They didn't seem to want to waste time.

On the stone platform, among the fifty cultivators, the majority were human.

The demon race had only one half-beastman left, while the demon race had seven members, many of whom looked very serious, clearly indicating that they had never refined a breakthrough pill before.

"Song Wanning, don't think you can win the championship just because you stole the inheritance that rightfully belongs to the Medicine King Sect. As long as we're here, you can forget about it!"

The stone platform gradually shrank in size, and the two disciples of the Medicine King Sect got closer and closer to Song Wanning.

They thought they could eliminate Song Wanning in the first round, but who would have thought that she would also refine a top-grade pill.

The two were very dissatisfied, feeling that it was because Song Wanning had stolen the inheritance of alchemy!
If the inheritance falls into their hands, they will surely be invincible and have no rivals!

Their words were intended to influence Song Wanning's mindset, causing her to make mistakes in alchemy...

But Song Wanning glanced at them as if they were clowns, and then immersed herself in alchemy.

His nonchalant demeanor sent a chill down their spines.

They exchanged a glance, then stopped talking and focused entirely on refining the pills.

"Those two disciples from the Medicine King Sect are also quite good. This alchemy competition has produced quite a few geniuses."

The city lord rested his chin on his hand, his gaze sweeping over the five people who had refined the top-grade pills.

The top three are probably among these five.

Then she looked at the orc, a smile flashing in her eyes.

The demon race is just there to make up the numbers; they never make it to the finals. It's already quite an achievement that one of the half-orcs made it to the second round this time.

After all, most demons eat herbs directly, and few of them know how to refine pills.

"They can't."

Huo Jinchuan suddenly spoke, making a firm and decisive conclusion.

"Oh?"

The city lord looked up at him in surprise, astonished by his resolute attitude.

In her opinion, the five people are all at a similar level, it all comes down to who performs best.

"How can you be so sure, young friend Huo?"

Her eyes flickered, and she became somewhat interested.

Huo Jinchuan remained expressionless and said calmly, "It's just a feeling."

"..."

The city lord suddenly felt disheartened.

She'd be a fool to believe that.

It seems this person has a special method...

The city lord stopped speaking and focused his attention on Song Wanning and the other two.

She wanted to see if Huo Jinchuan's "feeling" was right!

On the other side, Song Wanning was fusing the herbs in order. She controlled the fire of the alchemy while carefully separating the herbs, not daring to make the slightest mistake.
