"It's possible," Hong Xiaoxiao said. "Once she starts alchemy, her life will be on the countdown."
Hearing this, Mu Weizhu stared at Feng Yuqin with a cold look in her eyes.
At this moment, Ou Yuanwu's eyes were also fixed on Feng Yuqin.
His thought was the same as what Hong Xiaoxiao had said. Once Feng Yuqin started alchemy, her life would be on the countdown.
Yan Xiao and the others had full confidence in Feng Yuqin's alchemy ability, so they weren't worried at all when they heard those people's discussions.
Although they didn't know why Feng Yuqin hadn't started yet, they knew that if they didn't focus on alchemy, they might drag Feng Yuqin down.
So they were now fully immersed in the state of alchemy.
"The Central Region is really hopeless. Even if this year's team is complete, one hasn't started yet, and the other four only have just reached the fifth - level in alchemy strength."
"Their levels are too low. If the quality of the pills they refine doesn't meet the standard, they will still fail."
"Yeah. If they are at the fifth level, the quality must at least meet the standard."
"However, Elder Lin is quite good. His strength has actually reached the seventh level."
"The other two elders, Chen and Zhao, are at the sixth level."
"If the strength of all the alchemists in the Central Region's Alchemy Guild could be like these three elders, the Central Region wouldn't always come in last in every competition."
"Nowadays, alchemists all hope to go to more powerful places. So even those alchemists with a bit stronger strength usually go to Yuecheng or Tiancheng.
"At the very least, Xingcheng is much stronger than the Central Region."
The high - level members of various forces didn't feel much when they saw this situation. After all, the Central Region had always been at the bottom.
It was just because of Feng Yuqin's spiritual pet that everyone's attention was on her.
In Tiancheng, they couldn't openly rob Feng Yuqin of her spiritual pet, but it didn't mean they couldn't do so after she left.
So they were all paying attention to when Feng Yuqin would leave Tiancheng.
As soon as she left, they would start to seize it.
Since the Central Region had always been at the bottom in terms of alchemy, they never thought that Feng Yuqin would win. They didn't care whether she alchemized or not.
When many people on the competition stage were halfway through their alchemy, Feng Yuqin also started.
"Feng Yuqin is just starting now. She probably won't be able to refine a pill by the time the time is up. Then they will fail."
"Others are almost done refining. Almost half of the time has passed. It would be strange if she could succeed."
Everyone took a look at Feng Yuqin, then their eyes fell on the other competition stages.
"Look, Li Muchuan from Tiancheng has already reached the last step," someone exclaimed.
"No wonder he's the most powerful young alchemist in Tiancheng's Alchemy Guild. He's already reached the last step so quickly."
"Li Muchuan is only in his twenties, right? The Central Region is really embarrassing. The ones who came are elders, but they've just reached the last step."
"Truly, there's no comparison without harm."
"Yeah. Both Tiancheng and Yuecheng sent young - generation alchemists. Xingcheng only sent one elder, while the Central Region sent three, plus a guest elder."
"Truly, there's no comparison without harm."
The people below didn't deliberately lower their voices when they were discussing, so the people on the stage could also hear what they were saying.
Elder Lin and the others didn't look very happy.
But they had no choice. This competition was one of the conditions for the General Guild to distribute some medicinal materials and treasures.
If they didn't participate, it would be unfavorable for their future development.
But the words of those people below were really heart - stabbing.
The three elders, Lin, were a bit better. Lin Sixue and Zhao Yiyang, Elder Zhao's son, were young. When they heard these words, they almost caused their pill furnaces to explode.
"Old Song, most people are almost reaching the last step, but your guest elder has just started," Qian Minghui, the president of Xingcheng's Alchemy Guild, said mockingly.
"It seems that even if the Central Region has one more team this time, the outcome won't change," He Kai, the president of Tiancheng's Alchemy Guild, said with a smile.
"Old Song, if I were you, I wouldn't let them come out and embarrass themselves," Yue Hongtu from Yuecheng said.
Song Jianming looked very ugly. "Who knows what will happen until the last moment?"
"A dying struggle," Qian Minghui snorted.
The other two had the same thought.
They all thought that the situation today would surely be about the same as before.
Just then, Ye Chengkang's voice slowly sounded. "It's normal for powerful alchemists to have different alchemy methods from ordinary ones."
Previously, everyone had noticed that Ye Chengkang had been silent. Coupled with the fact that Ou Yuanwu had not paid much attention to the Central Region over the years, they all automatically assumed that Ye Chengkang also didn't care about the Central Region.
But when they heard this, they were all stunned.
He Kai was the first to speak. "President, do you think Feng Yuqin will win?"
Ye Chengkang gave He Kai a cold look.
Since He Kai was also Ou Yuanwu's confidant, Ye Chengkang's voice was a bit cold. "Do you think Feng Yuqin doesn't have this ability?"
He Kai felt that Ye Chengkang seemed quite dissatisfied with him. But he had heard that President Ye was cold to everyone, so he thought it might be due to his personality.
So he ignored this uneasiness and said to Ye Chengkang, "How old is Feng Yuqin? Isn't she under twenty? How could she refine a pill in less than half the time? After all, the previous steps were relatively fast, but the last step of forming the pill is very time - consuming."
"So you think she can't complete it?" Ye Chengkang asked lightly.
Ou Yuanwu gave He Kai a faint look, signaling him not to say any more.
Seeing that He Kai stopped talking, Yue Hongtu looked at Ye Chengkang and asked, "President Ye, from your words, it seems that you have great confidence in Feng Yuqin."
He Kai was the president of Tiancheng's Alchemy Guild and was under the jurisdiction of Ye Chengkang's General Guild.
There was a bit of a difference in their relationship, so there was a difference in attitude.
"Aren't you all presidents of alchemy guilds? Can't you see what's different about Feng Yuqin's alchemy steps?" Ye Chengkang said lightly.
"It's different from our usual way of refining pills. But isn't it because she knew she was running out of time and was just acting recklessly?" Qian Minghui frowned and said.
Hearing this, Ye Chengkang fell silent.
Because he understood that it was normal for these people not to see through.
After all, Feng Yuqin's alchemy technique was different from others. But since she could suppress the toxin in his son, he thought that her success in alchemy was related to her unique method.
It was just that others didn't know much about Feng Yuqin and thought her alchemy method was wrong.
The most important thing was that Feng Yuqin had just started alchemy, so many people hadn't noticed yet. He believed that it wouldn't be long before others would also notice that Feng Yuqin's alchemy method was different from others.
And Yan Xiao and the others had learned alchemy before, so Feng Yuqin had only taught them a different way of forming the pill in the last step.
