After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the pill refiners had already started to form their pills. Cheng Sheng had also concocted a batch of Spirit Gathering Pills, he walked forward and placed the pills into a jade bottle, and then hung a small wooden board on it.
When Tang Lin's medicine boy returned with the tray, Hua Ruge placed the jade bottle on it.
Cheng Sheng usually had a big temper, but now he was extremely nervous. He clenched his fists and asked Hua Ruge: "Tell me, do you think I'll be able to get a placing this time?"
In reality, the only person at the scene who could use their mental strength to detect everything before the pill was formed was Hua Ruge. Other than the Great Clan Elder and the two of them, they all had their suspicions, and nervously waited for the results.
After hearing Cheng Sheng's words, Hua Ruge's eyes turned as he flattered him, "With the standard of a pill master, you will definitely be able to get a placing."
"It's not that easy." Although Cheng Sheng said this on the surface, his heart also felt a lot better.
"I've always been a good speaker." Hua Ruge said with certainty.
At this time, Cheng Sheng's heart was in turmoil. Upon hearing this, he immediately slapped his thigh and said: "If you agree, I'll give you another jar of wine."
"Alright." Hua Ruge was waiting for him to say these words.
The Great Elder appraised the jade bottle in front of all the pill refiners. After which, he divided the jade bottles into two piles. Soon, there were only twenty small jade bottles left on the pile.
Song Ziyang was angered until his face turned green, he really did not think that he would die here.
He wanted to show off. If he didn't succeed this time, then he would be laughed out of his wits.
Furthermore, he would be able to appear in the Alchemy Tournament to fight for the final prize after getting the entry. He thought that everything would be within reach, but he didn't expect it to turn into an illusion in the blink of an eye.
What was even more infuriating was that he had clearly been plotted against, but no one believed it. This feeling made him want to go crazy.
After the Great Elder had finished appraising the ingredients, he walked forward and took off the twenty pill bottles. He then said loudly, "I shall now announce the names of the pill refiners participating in the three great sects' Alchemists Competition."
The twenty names were quickly announced, and Cheng Sheng heard his own name.
Cheng Sheng laughed and said to Hua Ruge: "You brat, your words are accurate."
At this moment, he felt that Hua Ruge was really his lucky star, he did not know that if Hua Ruge did not set this plan to explode, his position would have been in danger.
Hua Ruge also chuckled.
"I knew you didn't have any good intentions, so I'll bring you some wine when we get back." Cheng Sheng shook his head.
"Thank you, milord." Hua Ruge's smile grew wider.
Cheng Sheng thought about it and said with a pained heart, "This is the last jar for you, you are not allowed to think about it anymore."
"Yes, yes." Hua Ruge nodded.
After the announcement, Tang Lin stood up and said: "Everyone here are the elites of my Brahmin. This time, I'll be counting on everyone to participate in the Alchemist Competition from the three major sects."
Everyone expressed their loyalty.
"Then, let's all go back and prepare. We will depart three days later, and head towards the Profound Beast Forest." Tang Lin said before he turned around and left.
When Hua Ruge heard this, his heart stirred. She had waited for so long, and was finally going to get to the main topic.
Tang Lin looked at Song Ziyang before he left. Song Ziyang stood up and followed behind Tang Lin with his head lowered, the two of them walked into the hall.
Hua Ruge looked towards the hall, but he could not see anything.
However, that was not important. Once she reached the Profound Beast Forest, it would be too late for her to figure out the situation.
This time, Cheng Sheng received a lot of admiration from the pill refiners, and after exchanging greetings for a while, he left. When he looked at Cheng Sheng's face, his wrinkles almost split apart.2
"Hai Yang, it's not that you haven't seen how they usually treat me, but now that I've obtained a placing, they've all changed their faces. So it's because the feeling of being flattered is so good." Cheng Sheng said with satisfaction.
Hua Ruge listened from the side, and did not reply.
"Tier 5 pill refiner, I'm only 40 years old this year, but I've already advanced! My master even told me that I don't have the talent to concoct pills, if you're still alive, you'll know that you've made a mistake!" Cheng Sheng said as his eyebrows rose in satisfaction.
Hua Ruge really wanted to tell him that your master has good eyes, that he definitely did not see wrong, and that you do not have talent.
However, Cheng Sheng did not know that it was all thanks to Hua Ruge that he could refine a fifth grade pill, or even get the entry, so he was not concealing anything when he boasted about it.
"Hai Yang, ever since I brought you here, everything has gone so smoothly. You really are my lucky star. Today, I'll treat you to wine." As Cheng Sheng spoke, he put his arm around Hua Ruge's shoulders and said: "Today, I'm very happy. I'll treat you to a jar of wine that I hid twenty years ago, you're so lucky."
Hua Ruge was overjoyed to hear that, "Then I will have to thank Alchemist Master for that. I have no other preferences, what I love the most in my life are wine and women."
"Just look at you, brat. You don't seem to be working. You know you've done a lot of bad things."
Hua Ruge said casually, "What's so good about being a good person?"
Cheng Sheng did not care about this, the Demon Sect's specialty was to be casual, and do whatever they want, without any rules or restrictions, which caused these people to be widely known, and to have no scruples when doing things.
Having stayed here for the past few days, Hua Ruge had a certain understanding of the devil sect. There were many practitioners of unorthodox techniques and short cuts in the devil sect;
This kind of person was extremely dangerous, and they were the ones who had caused all the troubles in the secular world. That was why they left an impression of the devil sect being cruel and bloodthirsty.
However, from what she understood, most people in the Devil Sect were normal and not much different from the righteous path. Even if they wanted to fight now, they only had different positions.
Hua Ruge drank at Cheng Sheng's place in the afternoon, and because Cheng Sheng was extraordinarily excited, he pulled her hand and spoke for a long while. Only after he was drunk did Hua Ruge manage to escape.
At this time, it was already dusk. She was carrying a jug of wine, pouring wine into her mouth as she walked.
It was indeed a good wine. After drinking it, one would not feel any headaches. Furthermore, they would feel refreshed. However, if one drank too much, it would still give off the feeling of walking on clouds.
Because he was fine, Hua Ruge did not take the Wine Extinguishing Pill, and was only half drunk.
"Li Dahai." A voice suddenly sounded from behind her. She heard it but did not agree or turn her head.
Li Dahai? Who is it?
"Li Dahai, stop right there." A figure rushed in front of her, blocking her way.
She opened her eyes and saw Song Ziyang standing right in front of her.
After seeing Song Ziyang, she seemed to recall her current situation, but she didn't really care as she said, "If you have anything to say, quickly say it. If you block this young master's way, be careful that this young master might hit you until your mother doesn't recognize you."
