Chapter 159 Names Failed to Be Placed in the Sun Family

As the alchemy process reached its final stage, the audience grew tense, and the area became completely silent.

The only sounds in the entire venue were the burning of the alchemist's fire and the rustling of the alchemist refining pills.

Ye Xiaobai, Liu Rumei, and every other alchemist were in the final refining stage. The result of this refining would determine the champion of the alchemy competition.

Suddenly, a master alchemist in a corner of the venue successfully completed the refining of a pill. Many people stared intently at the alchemist, eager to see what quality pill he could produce.

This person was none other than Liu Dansheng, the genius alchemist of the Liu family.

After two failed attempts, Liu Dansheng clearly felt this time that his combination of spiritual herbs was correct and he should be able to refine the Spirit Essence Pill.

As Liu Dansheng had expected, when he gently opened the alchemy furnace, a light brown Spirit Essence Pill appeared inside.

Liu Dansheng immediately showed an excited expression. He had successfully refined a fifth-grade pill, so there shouldn't be any major problems with this pill refining competition.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Dansheng placed the pill into the array that detects the grade of pills, and it was subsequently shown to be a low-grade Spirit Essence Pill.

Only then did Liu Dansheng finally relax. The tense alchemy competition was finally over. There should be very few people who could refine it. He was sure that he would be in the top three!

Thinking of all this, Liu Dansheng couldn't help but feel secretly delighted. Now he had a better chance of becoming a disciple of the president of the Alchemist Alliance.

Liu Dansheng was so engrossed in the alchemy process that he was unaware that someone had already refined a mid-grade Spirit Essence Pill.

As Liu Dansheng looked up at the location of the Liu family, wanting to share his joy of success, the Liu family members in the distance all had furrowed brows and showed no sign of happiness.

Liu Dansheng instantly realized that something was wrong. He had refined a low-grade Spirit Essence Pill. Was this achievement not good enough?

Thinking of this, Liu Dansheng hurriedly looked around to check the refining results of other alchemists.

This was quite an achievement; Liu Dansheng quickly discovered that someone had already refined a low-grade Spirit Essence Pill.

At this moment, Liu Dansheng felt a sudden tightness in his heart, but he kept reassuring himself: there is a difference even among low-grade spirit essence pills.

When Liu Dansheng turned his attention to Ye Xiaobai's location, he was instantly stunned. He never expected that Ye Xiaobai would actually succeed in refining a low-grade spirit essence pill.

Even lower-grade Spirit Essence Pills have differences!

Liu Dansheng could only console himself once again.

However, when Liu Dansheng saw that the female alchemist next to Ye Xiaobai had actually refined a mid-grade Spirit Essence Pill, he immediately showed an expression of disbelief.

How could this be? Someone actually used an incomplete formula to refine a mid-grade pill. Liu Dansheng found it hard to accept this reality.

One after another, different alchemists completed the final refining of their pills. Ye Xiaobai watched the pills slowly condense, feeling extremely nervous.

A moment later, the pill was fully condensed. This time, Ye Xiaobai was full of confidence, certain that its grade would be higher than the last time.

Sure enough, as expected, when Ye Xiaobai carefully opened the alchemy furnace, a round, light brown spiritual essence pill appeared before him.

No problem, this one has reached the mid-grade level. Ye Xiaobai was just about to get excited about successfully refining a mid-grade Spirit Essence Pill when the female alchemist next to him also refined a new pill.

Hmm? This smell? It's very rich. Is it a high-grade Spirit Essence Pill?

Ye Xiaobai immediately smelled the aroma of the pills from next door and realized that he had absolutely no chance of winning first place in the Alchemy Competition.

Originally, I thought that if I could refine a mid-grade Spirit Essence Pill, I might be able to compete for that top-grade pill furnace. Now, I have no chance at all.

Before long, all the alchemists had finished refining their pills. Most of them failed, as incomplete formulas cannot all be used to refine pills. Only a few exceptionally talented alchemists successfully refined the Spirit Essence Pill.

On the stage, Vice President Song Changsheng watched as all the alchemists finished refining their pills. The next step was to confirm the final results.

Through the previously set-up pill testing array, it has been basically confirmed that the top performers have all successfully refined the Spirit Essence Pill.

Next, Song Changsheng, together with the other elders of the Alchemist Alliance, verified the quality of the pills and then made a final rating.

Half an hour later, after Song Changsheng and the others had finished verifying the grade of the Spirit Essence Pills refined by everyone, they began to announce the final results of the Pill Refining Competition.

At this moment, both the alchemists and the audience below the stage were eagerly awaiting the announcement of the results of this alchemy competition. Even those who did not participate in the alchemy had witnessed the emergence of a new generation of outstanding young alchemists.

Song Changsheng cleared his throat and then began to say, "The first place winner of this year's Alchemy Competition held by the Alchemist Alliance is—Sun Siyu! She successfully refined a high-grade Spirit Essence Pill!"

"What? It's actually a high-grade Spirit Essence Pill!"

"Yes, this girl's talent is amazing!"

"What? It's actually Sun Siyu?"

Just as I guessed!

Who is Sun Siyu?

"Hey, you don't know that? He's an alchemist from the Qingxia Sect of Yue Kingdom!"

After Song Changsheng announced the winner of this alchemy competition, the crowd below the stage couldn't help but start discussing it.

"Next up is second place, Ye Xiaobai, who successfully refined a mid-grade Spirit Essence Pill! Third place is tied for third place because two people refined low-grade high-level Spirit Essence Pills. Their names are Liu Rumei and Xie Dongyun!"

Congratulations to these four alchemists!

With the announcement of the second and third place winners, no one was surprised that the pills were of the highest quality. However, it was quite unexpected that there were two people tied for third place.

For every person who makes the list, someone else falls off; it's a mixed bag of joy and sorrow.

The Liu family was in an extremely awkward situation. They had originally planned to make a name for themselves with their young genius alchemist, but they never expected to encounter so many alchemy geniuses.

Liu Dansheng, a member of his own family, was immediately outshone, failing to even make the top three. Now, the Liu family was likely to become a laughing stock in Yangdan City.

Ye Xiaobai had a general idea of ​​the final result beforehand, so it shouldn't be too surprising, since Sun Siyu had just refined a high-grade spirit essence pill right next to him.

Having no choice but to wait until later in the queue to refine a mid-grade Spirit Essence Pill, I could only do so.

Next, the top three winners were invited to go on stage to receive their awards.

The president of the Alchemist Alliance, Liu Yilong, personally presented the award and encouraged the younger members of the Alchemist Alliance to continue their efforts.

After Ye Xiaobai went on stage, he saw Xie Dongyun and quickly said, "Senior Brother Xie, congratulations!"

Xie Dongyun was also greatly shocked to see Ye Xiaobai. He never expected that his junior brother from back then would now have surpassed him in alchemy skills. So he quickly said politely, "Junior Brother Ye, your alchemy skills have improved at an amazing speed! You have now surpassed me!"

"It was just luck! I still have a lot to learn from Senior Brother Xie!" Ye Xiaobai quickly said modestly.

"Hahaha!"

"Luck? Ye Xiaobai, you've been hiding it quite well. You can actually refine a fifth-grade pill, and a mid-grade one at that!" Liu Rumei said unhappily when she saw Ye Xiaobai next to her.

"Luck, luck, my strength is still not as good as Sun Siyu next to me, Fairy Sun!" Ye Xiaobai said, pointing to Sun Siyu, who won first place in this year's alchemy competition.

Everyone quickly greeted Sun Siyu and congratulated her on winning first place.
