The fellow disciples spent the entire night recovering, and the elders were very considerate and did not come to disturb them.

Jiang Yishen was summoned away by the alchemy elder early in the morning.

Ning Yue happened to have been cultivating all night, so she noticed it and, out of curiosity, quietly followed her.

The alchemy elder and Jiang Yishen sat down directly at the table in the hall.

He took out a book as thick as Ning Yue's head and started flipping through it casually.

Ning Yue: "..."

Is this a surprise attack for the alchemy competition?

As expected, the alchemy elder spoke.

"The other four sects have all sent very talented people this time, so it seems this competition will be a fierce battle."

Jiang Yishen nodded: "This disciple has already heard that there are even intermediate-level alchemists among them."

"Don't be afraid, you are also an intermediate alchemist."

The alchemy elder casually remarked, "Just treat it as a normal competition."

"Among the four sects, only the Crimson Cloud Sect has real strength in alchemy. The other sects are mostly unreliable, so there's no need to worry too much."

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yishen heard comforting words from his own master, and he smiled with his head down.

Remembering something, he asked, "Why didn't Master let Junior Sister participate too?"

The alchemy elder suddenly paused, as if he had never thought about this question before.

Jiang Yishen, ever understanding, asked, "Is it against the rules?"

"...Not exactly." The alchemy elder thought for a moment and then said with a sudden realization.

"I really never thought of letting Ning Yue participate in the alchemy trial."

"Junior Sister is already a Heaven-level Alchemist, with her around, winning a ranking is a sure thing."

"That's one thing..."

Although the rules do not explicitly state that a person is not allowed to participate in two competitions at the same time, this is basically a consensus.

After all, apart from Ning Yue, who is a freak, no one can cultivate two at the same time.

Therefore, everyone naturally assumed that Ning Yue could only participate in the sword cultivator competition, so the alchemy elder did not call for Ning Yue.

Jiang Yishen, observing the alchemy elder's expression, asked, "Should I go call my junior sister?"

"No need to call me! I'm here!" Ning Yue heard their conversation and immediately came out from where she was hiding.

Looking at the two people in front of him with great anticipation: "When does it start? Is there anything else I need to prepare?"

She also wanted to participate in this alchemy competition!

The Alchemy Elder: "..."

Jiang Yishen: "..."

"Alright," said the alchemy elder. "Anyway, the rules don't say it's forbidden. Blame yourself for not being careful when making the rules."

"Don't blame us for exploiting loopholes in the rules!"

Ning Yue and Jiang Yishen, led by the alchemy elder, crammed for a while.

When it was almost time, they were taken to the alchemy competition venue.

The supervisor in this meeting was different from the previous one; he frowned as soon as he saw Ning Yue.

"Immortal Venerable Ziyang, this is the competition arena for alchemy disciples. Please do not bring any unrelated personnel here."

Judging from his attire, Ning Yue knew he was an elder of the Purgatory Sect.

Why does the Purgatory Sect have so many things to do every day?

She frowned: "It seems the elder recognizes me, so he should know I'm also a pill cultivator. Why can't I come?"

"There is no precedent for this!"

He pointed at Ning Yue angrily and said, "One person can only participate in one competition. Is this a consensus? Are you going to change the rules just because of you?!"

"Then please tell me, Elder, which specific rule states that a person can only participate in one course?" Ning Yue looked at him with a calm and composed expression.

The supervising elder paused for a moment, then blushed and said...

"There's no written rule, but we've done it this way for thousands of years without exception..."

"In that case, I am the first exception in thousands of years."

Ning Yue was short, and although he was looking up at him, he exuded a compelling aura.

She said impatiently, "I don't want to say anything more, let's get started, I'm getting annoyed."

The disciples around Ning Yue, who was also participating in the competition, all looked at him with amazement.

Of course they had heard of Ning Yue's reputation—the first Heavenly-level alchemist!

Although I watched Ning Yue's match yesterday and learned what Ning Yue really looked like.

But this is a close-up view, so close that you could almost reach out and touch it!

Alchemists from various sects, as long as they have some skill, even if they are just disciples, all exude an arrogance that comes from within.

There's practically nothing that can make them willingly bow down to others.

Because good alchemists have a very high status, they are all somewhat arrogant.

Unless someone with real ability appears, don't expect them to do it willingly.

Ning Yue's appearance was like a ray of light, immediately captivating these young alchemists.

Twelve years old! A Heaven-grade Pill! The only one!

The elder in charge of surveillance was clenching his fists, his eyes filled with reluctance.

Their Purgatory Sect happens to have a disciple who can win a top-three finish in this trial. If Ning Yue were to participate...

There's no place for the Purgatory Sect in the top three!

A cold glint flashed in his eyes; he was the one in charge here, after all…

otherwise……

As he was pondering, his gaze swept over and he caught sight of the alchemy elder beside Ning Yue, causing him to freeze in mid-air.

Immortal Venerable Ziyang didn't speak just now; he was too engrossed in himself and almost forgot that Immortal Venerable Ziyang was still there.

He dared to be presumptuous towards Ning Yue, but he certainly wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous towards Immortal Venerable Ziyang.

The supervising elder lowered his head sheepishly, and then heard the emotionless voice of the Purple Sun Immortal Venerable in his ear.

"This..." The alchemy elder didn't know his name, so he said, "An elder of the Purgatory Sect..."

"I am a low-level alchemist, yet you still address me as a Celestial Venerable."

Ning Yue is a Heavenly-level alchemist; you should respectfully address her as Immortal Venerable.

"In that case, you were being extremely disrespectful just now."

The elder under surveillance froze, bowing his head and standing motionless.

The alchemy elder's voice was clearly devoid of emotion, yet it carried a chilling undertone.

He immediately trembled slightly.

Offending a high-level alchemist like the Earth-rank alchemist will do their sect no good!

Moreover, Ning Yue next to him is a Heaven-level expert.

Ning Yue retorted sarcastically, "So, anyone can stop me now?"

The supervising elder broke out in a cold sweat instantly. Regardless of whether his sect could get into the top three, he immediately retreated to the side.

"I have overstepped my bounds, please come in—"

"Who are you inviting in?" The alchemy elder did not move.

The supervising elder gritted his teeth, but his tone was extremely respectful as he bowed to Ning Yue.

"Please, Immortal Venerable, enter."

Ning Yue: "..." Hahaha, this feels pretty good.

She looked at the hunched elder with some amazement.

"Why didn't you just let me in earlier? Why all this fuss?"

Ning Yue, strutting confidently, pulled Jiang Yishen inside.

People around Jiang Yishen looked at him with envy, their eyes filled with both jealousy and longing.

It's such a blessing to have such a talented junior sister as Ning Yue.

I really wish Ning Yue was holding onto me!

Jiang Yishen looked at the sleeve that Ning Yue was holding and smiled slightly.

The layout here is the same as the previous Fusang Sect trial grounds.

It is divided into many small squares, and one person enters one square.

The alchemy elder had sent his two disciples away, and he also had a responsibility to keep an eye on them.

The supervising elder first glanced at Ning Yue with a mixture of fear and anger, then began to explain the rules.

"The ranking of each Qi Gathering Pill produced depends on its quality. Exploding the furnace and wasting medicinal materials are not allowed."

The alchemy furnaces here are all uniformly configured.

Ning Yue raised his hand: "The alchemy furnace is of too poor quality. I request to replace it with a better one, otherwise it won't be able to maintain the quality of my pills."

The residual power of a Heavenly-level alchemist still lingers, so the supervising elder dares not make things difficult for Ning Yue now.

The situation was immediately reported, and it was agreed that the disciples' alchemy furnaces would be replaced.

Wow!

A disciple exclaimed in amazement, stroking the patterns on the alchemy furnace. "Thanks to Immortal Ning's favor, I can actually use an alchemy furnace of this quality!"

Ning Yue's lips twitched slightly.

Immortal Venerable Ning? What a strange title!

"And..." Ning Yue raised his hand again, "who is responsible for the damage caused by attracting heavenly lightning?"
