Chapter 221: Is There a Turning Point?
At this moment, no matter how deep Feng Qingya’s scheming was, her body couldn’t help but tremble.
She never thought that everything she longed for, everything she prepared to turn the tables, would stop at eleventh place forever in the second round!
If she couldn’t enter the top ten in the second round, how could she enter the third round?
If she couldn’t enter the third round, then everything would be for nothing.
Her heart was extremely unwilling, yet she had no choice.
She knew that Vice President Ouyang of the Alchemist Association was here, and this ranking would definitely not be rigged.
Even the Feng family wouldn’t be qualified to buy off Vice President Ouyang.
“It’s just as I expected, this Alchemist Conference is indeed a gathering of hidden dragons and tigers.”
“Miss Feng Qingya’s two invited guests may be astonishing, but they’re indeed too young.”
“In reality, if we’re going by their scores, they’re already quite impressive to be able to refine a high-quality third-grade pill at their age.”“Hehe, actually, those two alchemists can be considered to have gotten what they wanted.”
“The only loser is Miss Feng Qingya herself.”
“I actually want to see how Miss Feng Qingya will turn the tables and return to her high and mighty position.”
“It’s just a pity.”
“……”
After Yao Changsheng announced the last eliminated person, the crowd was shocked into silence for a while, followed by endless sighs.
Just like before, some people sympathized, while others ridiculed.
“Niece, maybe we can reconsider what I told you earlier.”
“If you bring those two friends to join my Spirit Sound Valley, the Feng family won’t bother you.”
“Even if there’s pressure from the Holy City, we can resist it.”
Seeing this result, Sikong Tingyun’s face was also filled with sighs.
But he immediately spoke directly.
Upon hearing Sikong Tingyun’s words, Feng Qingya took a deep breath.
She forced herself to calm down once again: “I’ll consider this matter seriously, thank you for your concern, Uncle Sikong.”
Her heart was already filled with despair.
But she still had some expectations.
Because she saw that Xuening and Su Jingzhen had both refined a Breaking Through Adversity Pill.
If it can reach super quality, it can still turn the tables!
Seeing Feng Qingya still able to behave so calmly at this moment,
Sikong Tingyun admired her even more in his heart.
If it were someone else, they would have directly collapsed when faced with their fate being strangled again.
At the very least, they wouldn’t be able to speak to him with such calmness.
They would either directly throw themselves into Spirit Sound Valley’s embrace or…
…
As the crowd below began to discuss, many people on the alchemy platform looked towards Xuening and Su Jingzhen.
Liu Ming, Bai Xiu, and others had expressionless faces.
But in their hearts, they were somewhat disdainful.
They had seen Su Jingzhen and Xuening refining the Breaking Through Adversity Pill earlier, and they thought it was a trump card.
“But it’s not that impressive,” Liu Ming muttered to himself.
Meanwhile, Ye Zhiqiu, who was standing beside Bai Xiu, looked at Su Jingzhen and Xuening with a curious gaze.
“Interesting, this is not the right expression for this moment.”
At this time, Su Jingzhen and Xuening exchanged a glance, and their eyes had a hint of sigh.
But in the end, they still managed to remain calm.
Su Jingzhen took a step forward, cupping his hands in respect towards Vice President Ouyang and Yao Changsheng on the judging platform.
“Respected seniors, the top-quality Rebirth Pill is almost at the top level among third-grade pills.”
“Is it really impossible to enter the top 10?”
Seeing Su Jingzhen stand up, Feng Qingya’s eyes had a glimmer of hope once again.
However, the onlookers around her began to sigh and ridicule once more.
“Looks like they still have some unwillingness in their hearts.”
“But daring to question Vice President Ouyang and Yao Changsheng, that’s a foolish move.”
“Indeed, it’s foolish, but I can understand.”
“If they can bring out even higher-level pills to slap us in the face, that would be even more exciting.”
“But earlier, I saw them refining a second-grade Breaking Through Adversity Pill.”
“I’m afraid this opportunity for a turnaround won’t come again.”
“…”
Regardless of whether it was the people from the various major powers surrounding the alchemy platform or the onlookers in the distant Wind Bell Square, everyone’s attention was almost entirely focused on Su Jingzhen.
And upon hearing his words, Yao Changsheng didn’t get angry.
“As you said, the third-grade Rebirth Pill is indeed very good, and its high quality is undeniable.”
“But entering the top 10 is indeed a bit difficult. Perhaps when Vice President Ouyang reveals the top 10 pills, you’ll understand.”
Upon hearing this, Su Jingzhen nodded again.
Although the Rebirth Pill not entering the top 10 was unexpected and shocking, he could still accept it.
He then asked, “May I dare to ask, respected seniors, whether all the pills refined on this alchemy platform within the time limit of the second round can be brought out for evaluation?”
Su Jingzhen’s tone was still calm.
After all, he had unknowingly reached the level of a Golden Core cultivator’s Flesh Body Golden Embryo.
He wouldn’t be intimidated.
As he spoke, Yao Changsheng and Vice President Ouyang’s expressions also became slightly more serious.
They had already had some suspicions earlier.
But when they saw that the pill presented by Xuening and Su Jingzhen was only a third-grade Rebirth Pill, they subconsciously thought that Su Jingzhen had failed.
“Did they not fail after all?”
Yao Changsheng and Vice President Ouyang thought to themselves, and then Yao Changsheng nodded towards Su Jingzhen.
“That naturally counts!”
Seeing Yao Changsheng’s affirmative response, Su Jingzhen turned to Xuening and nodded.
Xuening then took out a jade bottle from the 256th alchemy platform.
Earlier, Su Jingzhen had refined a Breaking Through Adversity Pill, and to avoid suspicion, he had left it on the platform from start to finish.
Everyone could see this, and there was no possibility of switching it.
Su Jingzhen took the jade bottle from Xuening’s hand and, without hesitation, directly threw it towards Yao Changsheng and Vice President Ouyang on the judging platform.
Upon seeing this, the two of them were shocked once again.
Their premonition grew stronger, and their eyes couldn’t help but sparkle with excitement.
Seeing Su Jingzhen’s calm and composed demeanor, Feng Qingya’s eyes shone even brighter.
【Emotional Connection +4】
【Remaining usable points: 32】
The emotional connection points arrived once again amidst the anticipation.
And not far from her, Bai Susu’s expression also became more serious.
Her gaze towards Su Jingzhen became more complex.
She didn’t think Su Jingzhen was a fool, and since he dared to throw the Breaking Through Adversity Pill he refined to Yao Changsheng and Vice President Ouyang, it could only mean one thing!
