Chapter 224: Postponing the Third Round
Losing to the super-quality Breaking Through Adversity Pill, she was naturally convinced.
The others also had no objections.
The first place was the superior quality Breaking Through Adversity Pill, and the second place was the fourth-grade pill.
Who dared to say anything more?
When a servant from the Feng family respectfully returned the jade bottle to Su Jingzhen’s hands, Feng Li, the second elder, suddenly spoke up, “Since everyone has no objections to Vice President Ouyang’s ranking, I hereby declare that the second round of the Alchemist Conference has come to an end.”
“Congratulations to the top ten!”
“Today, we had two consecutive rounds of alchemy. The third round will be held tomorrow.”
“Tomorrow, we will gather again at this place to witness the excellence of the top ten!”Upon hearing Feng Li’s words, Xuening, Su Jingzhen and the others on the alchemy platform all had a hint of surprise on their faces.
Although they had just completed two consecutive rounds of alchemy, it was still early.
Even if they were to hold the third round, it should be manageable.
Not only were they surprised, but the representatives from various factions surrounding the alchemy platform also furrowed their brows.
“Is the Feng family scared? They dare not hold the third round on the same day.”
“It seems they’ll be taking action tonight.”
“Hehe, at such a young age, they can already refine a superior quality second-grade pill. Who wouldn’t be anxious?”
“After all, if they don’t handle the Feng Qingya incident properly, it won’t just be a simple loss for the Feng family.”
“It will also make the Tuoba family, who could have been their ally, turn against them.”
“That’s the unbearable weight they’re carrying.”
“So, suddenly declaring that the third round will be held tomorrow, who wouldn’t suspect there’s something fishy going on?”
“It seems that tonight in Yunmeng City will be quite exciting.”
“…”
The crowd began discussing after Feng Li’s words fell.
They looked at the Feng family’s people with a hint of ridicule.
However, they didn’t say much about the Alchemist Conference, as it was, after all, hosted by the Feng family, and all explanations belonged to them.
“Hahaha, it’s going to be exciting. I wonder what choice the Feng family will make next.”
“Let’s go, let’s go. Tomorrow’s the final round. I’m really curious about the final ranking of the alchemists from each faction.”
“Hehehe, why go? Tomorrow will be even more intense here. I’ll just stay and cultivate a bit tonight.”
“Otherwise, it won’t be easy to occupy this good spot.”
“This makes sense!”
“…”
As for the onlookers on the periphery, their discussion became even more heated.
Many people dispersed from the Wind Bell Square, while some sat down on the spot.
They were afraid that they wouldn’t be able to occupy this good spot tomorrow.
“I’m Ye Zhiqiu. How do you two address yourselves?”
At this time, the alchemists on the alchemy platform also gradually walked down from the stage.
Ye Zhiqiu, with her slender figure, suddenly walked up to Su Jingzhen and Xuening.
She had a smile on her face and a very humble attitude.
Seeing Ye Zhiqiu approach, Bai Xiu, who was not far away, also walked over.
He similarly bowed to Su Jingzhen and Xuening: “I am Bai Xiu!”
Ye Zhiqiu and Bai Xiu took the initiative to come over, which made Su Jingzhen slightly surprised.
However, since they had taken the initiative to greet them, Su Jingzhen and Xuening couldn’t very well pretend to be aloof.
Su Jingzhen and Xuening both returned the bow.
“Su Jingzhen!”
“Xuening!”
Upon hearing their names, Bai Xiu and Ye Zhiqiu seemed to fall into a brief moment of contemplation.
It was as if they were thinking about whether they had heard these names before.
But after just a moment, Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said, “Daoist Su and Daoist Xuening’s alchemy skills are truly eye-opening.”
“However, in tomorrow’s third round, I might have to go all out.”
“Please, both of you, don’t hold back anymore. Alchemists should be pure and simple.”
“Competing with excellent people can help us improve our alchemy skills faster.”
After saying this, Ye Zhiqiu nodded to Su Jingzhen and Xuening again.
Then, she turned around and walked towards the Alchemist Association crowd below.
Bai Xiu, who was by her side, also nodded to Su Jingzhen and Xuening again before following her.
At this time, the crowd only realized that the famous Bai Xiu, when walking, was indeed half a step behind Ye Zhiqiu.
Xuening and Su Jingzhen couldn’t help but exchange a glance.
Their expressions became serious again, and they were shocked by Ye Zhiqiu’s words. Her inferior quality Water Flow Pill seemed to not be her limit.
This was truly astonishing.
Looking at Ye Zhiqiu’s age, she didn’t seem to be much older than them.
Xuening could refine most third-grade pills, and for fourth-grade, she might be able to try, but she couldn’t guarantee any success rate.
“No wonder she’s from the Alchemist Association.”
Su Jingzhen thought to herself.
Then, she and Xuening packed up their things and walked down from the stage.
“Miss Feng, thank you for your guidance.”
Su Jingzhen smiled brightly at Feng Qingya.

Feng Qingya hadn’t even opened her mouth when a line of golden text appeared in front of Su Jingzhen.
It was clear how excited she was.
“Let’s talk about it later.”
Feng Qingya had a thousand words to say, but at this time, she only managed to say these few words.
At the Alchemist Conference, directly refining a superior quality Breaking Through Adversity Pill was already a remarkable achievement, and there was no need for her to say anything more.
As for the third round tomorrow, Feng Qingya was also increasingly confident.
After speaking, Feng Qingya bowed to Sikong Tingyun, who was standing beside her.
“Uncle Sikong, there are still some matters that need to be discussed, so I’ll take my leave for now.”
Today, Sikong Tingyun had helped her, so it was natural for her to bid him farewell.
Sikong Tingyun nodded: “Go back and rest well, and I look forward to your performance tomorrow.”
Although he was very much looking forward to Feng Qingya bringing Xuening and Su Jingzhen to join Spirit Sound Valley,
He was a smart person and wouldn’t bring it up at this time.
He was also very clear that if Feng Qingya had this intention, then Spirit Sound Valley would definitely be her first choice.
If she didn’t have this intention, no matter how much he said, it would be useless.
Feng Qingya led Su Jingzhen and Xuening out of the Wind Bell Square.
Mu Lao followed silently behind them.
Along the way, the three of them were the focus of everyone’s attention.
But at this time, not a single person or faction came to greet Feng Qingya.
Instead, the onlookers looked at them with reverence in their eyes.
As they walked towards the edge of the Wind Bell Square,
Su Jingzhen began to notice the Yunmeng Goddess statue at the edge of the square, as well as the twelve white jade pillars surrounding it.
His gaze lingered on the Yunmeng Goddess statue, and he felt a slight tremble in his heart.
She thought to himself: “I’ve heard that this is a sacred place in Yunmeng City.”
“After the Alchemist Conference, maybe I can come and have a good look.”
