When the steward sent someone forward to collect the pills, the crowd finally came to their senses.
"Feng Yuqin didn't even have a furnace explosion?"
"When the steward explained before, I thought there would be a furnace explosion soon. I didn't expect her to succeed in refining the pills?"
"Yeah, and I just saw that there seemed to be five pills?"
"Which means Feng Yuqin's success rate in pill - refining reached 50%?"
"To achieve a 50% success rate at such a young age, she's truly a genius, isn't she?"
"Don't you guys notice that she refined a sixth - grade pill and succeeded?"
As this was said, the crowd finally realized that their previous focus had been on the possible furnace explosion, and they had forgotten that it was a sixth - grade pill being refined.
"So Feng Yuqin is a sixth - grade pill - refiner in her teens? Isn't this a bit too crazy?"
"I've never seen a sixth - grade pill - refiner in their teens."
"Even Li Muchuan, who had such high talent back then, reached the sixth - grade level in his twenties, right?"
Many people didn't expect Feng Yuqin to succeed in pill - refining.
Including those in the competition.
Because they all thought that although Feng Yuqin didn't abstain like Yan Xiao, she couldn't possibly refine a sixth - grade pill.
But now Feng Yuqin not only refined it but also met the standards in terms of quality and success rate.
What would these people think if they knew that the actual success rate of Feng Yuqin's pill - refining was thirty pills?
The moment the pills were successfully refined, she slightly used the space domain to store the rest of the pills in her space.
Moreover, her space was different from a storage ring.
So when she stored the pills, no one noticed.
It was precisely because Feng Yuqin successfully refined a sixth - grade pill this time that the way people looked at her changed.
It wasn't until the steward announced that the next round of the competition would continue the next day that the people from Tiancheng and Yuecheng got together, which was a rare occasion.
You know, they were all in competition with each other, so they never got together before the end of the competition.
But because of Feng Yuqin's success in pill - refining, they gathered.
"Brother Li, what do you think of Feng Yuqin?" Wang Zexin looked at Li Muchuan and asked.
"She's a bit strange." Li Muchuan frowned, and his solemn face carried a hint of hostility.
"I can't find out her exact pill - refining strength." Luo Tianhao had a habit of collecting information. So he had collected information about who came from the Central Region and their strengths.
So at that time, he not only couldn't determine Feng Yuqin's strength but also didn't know about Yan Xiao and the others.
However, after learning that none of Feng Yuqin's group was over twenty years old, he didn't take Feng Yuqin and the other four seriously.
After all, if they were not even twenty years old, they couldn't be higher than sixth - grade.
And they were all peak sixth - grade or seventh - grade pill - refiners, so it wouldn't be difficult for them to win.
"My secret guard said that Feng Yuqin seemed more relaxed than me when refining pills." Wang Zexin's pill - refining strength was at the seventh - grade level. If Feng Yuqin was more relaxed than him when refining pills, what did that mean?
Li Muchuan and Luo Tianhao didn't look too happy.
Because they also had their own people watching the competition, and they heard about it after getting off the competition stage.
This was also the reason why they got together.
"If it were the same as before, it wouldn't matter." Luo Tianhao said, "But this time, there's an extra quota to enter the secret realm as a reward for the competition. So I have to strive for it for Xingcheng."
This was a task given to him by the guild master of Xingcheng.
And he had promised that he must get the quota.
Most importantly, the top three would get an extra quota.
Luo Tianhao was the weakest among the three, so he was actually the most worried.
Li Muchuan glanced at him and said, "I've never heard of this woman before. She's nothing to be afraid of."
Among the three, Li Muchuan was the most confident.
After all, Tiancheng was stronger than the others. Li Muchuan was highly regarded by the pill - refining guild in Tiancheng. Whenever there was something good, it was always given to Li Muchuan first.
Li Muchuan was a talent that the pill - refining guild was focusing on cultivating.
So he thought it was no problem for him to be in the top three.
However, after being flattered for so long, he was also very arrogant.
He didn't just want to be in the top three. His goal was the first place.
He had participated in the competition several times. Except for the first time when he wasn't the first, he had been the first in the following competitions.
So when he came to participate in this competition, he thought the first place belonged to him.
Even though he now thought Feng Yuqin was very strange, he still arrogantly believed that no matter how powerful Feng Yuqin was, she couldn't be more powerful than him.
Wang Zexin and Luo Tianhao could see the confidence radiating from Li Muchuan.
The two were silent for a moment. Then Wang Zexin said, "I think Feng Yuqin is just a sixth - grade pill - refiner. She can't be more powerful than us."
Luo Tianhao looked at the two of them and said, "I always feel uneasy. In the first round, she defeated Bai Shi. In the second round, everyone thought she couldn't win, but she did. In the third round, everyone thought there would be a furnace explosion, but she completed the pill - refining..."
Luo Tianhao didn't want to say anymore. The more he said, the more panicked he felt.
He didn't know why he had such a panicked feeling.
But no matter how hard he tried to convince himself, he just felt panicked.
"Are you being too paranoid?" Wang Zexin said coldly, "Feng Yuqin is just a little girl. Could she be more powerful than us? We've lived for two or three decades. We can't be outshone by a teenager, right?"
Li Muchuan glanced at Luo Tianhao indifferently and said, "If you want to win, there's a way."
Luo Tianhao's eyes lit up and he asked, "Brother Li has a way?"
"Just assassinate her." Li Muchuan said indifferently.
Luo Tianhao's face stiffened. "Brother Li, have you forgotten that Feng Yuqin has a spiritual pet?"
So it was impossible to assassinate her.
When the spiritual pet was mentioned, Li Muchuan's eyes darkened.
He had coveted that spiritual pet since he first heard about it.
However, he planned to find a way to snatch the spiritual pet after the competition and after he got the quota.
"How about sabotaging her pill furnace?" Wang Zexin said.
"Have you forgotten what happened to Bai Shi?" Luo Tianhao said again.
This time, Li Muchuan lost his patience. "Since you're so timid, why don't you just abstain?"
Hearing this, Luo Tianhao's face turned deathly pale.
He knew that he had annoyed Li Muchuan. He quickly apologized, "Brother Li, I didn't mean that. I'm just worried that Feng Yuqin will replace me. I want to win, so I'm scared."
Li Muchuan gave him a cold look. "If it weren't for our past friendship, I wouldn't have come tonight."
Wang Zexin quickly stepped forward to mediate. "Come on, weren't we talking about how to deal with Feng Yuqin? Why are we arguing among ourselves?"
But Li Muchuan just stood up directly. "Anyway, Feng Yuqin won't threaten my first - place position. You guys figure out the rest by yourselves. I've already given you the idea. Decide what to do on your own."
Luo Tianhao watched Li Muchuan's departing back, and his face became paler and paler.
Wang Zexin patted Luo Tianhao on the shoulder and said, "Be more confident in yourself. Feng Yuqin won't amount to much."
