MEIWITA Chapter 452: Semi-Finals (Two)

Lou Mu Yan passed the first round, then started the second round.

The pill to be refined in the second round was a Grade 4 Force Nourishing Pill.
She still tossed all the Spiritual Herbs into the pill cauldron for refining, and the pill was done within an incense stick of time.

In the third round of the competition, she picked up the pill formula and took a look.
Just as she had guessed, it was an Elemental Condensing Pill that was just upgraded by one grade.  Meanwhile, the Spiritual Herbs in the first tray was very messy.

Only half of the Spiritual Herbs were materials for refining the Elemental Condensing Pill.
She lowered her gaze in thought, then without hesitation, her slender hands reached out to the pile of Spiritual Herbs, found what she needed, then tossed it into the pill cauldron.

This time, since she decided to be high-profile in the Grand Competition of the Six Major Sects, then she would be high-profile in an arrogant and presumptuous matter.
There wasn’t any need to hide it.

It could be regarded as a gift to her Master, Old Man Tian Xuan.

That old man told her to set herself free in this Grand Competition.
If she won the championship, there’d be a rich reward waiting for her.

This time, it was still an incense stick of time, and Lou Mu Yan placed the five refined round Elemental Condensing Pills into a bottle.

Her smooth refining techniques and superb fire control ability made all people present who could refine pills stunned.

The two referees picked up the pills to check, then finally couldn’t help but announce in shock, “Eight Extremes Sect Lou Mu Yan has successfully refined Grade 4 Elemental Condensing Pills, and qualified for the finals of the Alchemy Competition.”

Hearing the referee’s announcement, Lou Mu Yan smiled lightly and walked into the arena for the Array Competition to wait.

And her performance in the Alchemy Competition really shocked the pupils and superiors in the viewing seats.
The refining materials of Grade 4 pills could actually be thrown into a pill cauldron to refine all at once like that as if she was just playing house.

Each time was only an incense stick of time too, and the quantity and quality were the same.
Just what realm had her alchemy skills reached?

“Headmaster Feng, your Sect sure hid very deeply this time.
With the alchemy skill Lou Mu Yan revealed just now, has she advanced to a Grade 5 Alchemy Master already?” The Elder of the Medicine Sect restrained the surprise in his eyes and asked.

Lou Mu Yan’s technique of refining pills was very proficient, the pill yield rate was high, as well as the quality.
Most importantly, it seemed as if she didn’t have any trouble refining Grade 4 pills.

There were only two possibilities.
One was that she was an Advanced-Level Grade 4 Alchemy Master who had repeatedly improved her alchemy skills, so she was already familiar with the refining of Grade 4 pills, and the other was that she was already a Grade 5 Alchemist Master—although the latter possibility was very small.

Headmaster Feng actually felt a little jumpy when he watched Lou Mu Yan refine pills.
He truly never thought that this girl’s talent and ability in alchemy would be so high.

“I don’t know about this either.
After all, she’s a pupil of Headmaster Huo’s School.” He smiled shyly and replied.

When Huo Ling Long saw that the Headmasters of the five sects all place their inquiring gaze on her, she smiled lightly: “Don’t look at me like this.
Lao’niang doesn’t even know alchemy, so how could I know what Grade Alchemy Master that girl is.”

Seeing Lou Mu Yan’s performance today, she knew that this girl probably wasn’t going to hide her strength in this competition anymore.

But that’s good too.
When it’s time to restrain, one should restrain, when one’s meant to radiate their brilliance, they shouldn’t be hypocritical either.
She liked this girl’s temperament.

“It should be impossible or her to be a Grade 5 Alchemist.
Her cultivation base is only at Peak-Phase Sword Sovereign.” Although the Headmaster of the Vast Mountain Sect also classified Lou Mu Yan on the more competitive list, but he didn’t believe that she was a Grade 5 Alchemist.

Hearing the words of the Headmaster of the Vast Mountain Sect, the other Headmasters also seemed to be relieved.

Yeah! Fortunately this girl was only at Sword Sovereign cultivation base.
Even if it was at peak, it was still a phase away from Sword Venerable.

The Headmasters of the several sects also stopped talking, and the expressions in their gazes were all different.

It was just that the Medicine Sect and the Heavenly Secret Palace’s Headmasters listed Lou Mu Yan as a strong opponent to compete against Bai Fei Yao and Wei Yu for the top three this time and prepared to remind the two later to not underestimate that girl that suddenly popped out of nowhere.

Bai Fei Yao’s semi-finals was after Lou Mu Yan’s.
She watched Lou Mu Yan’s leaving back with a complicated gaze, and felt a distorted sense of disgust in her heart.

She didn’t know why but she hated Lou Mu Yan from the first sight and even developed an unknown hatred, as if that woman was her nemesis in this life.

Remembering the trump card she had, she sneered inwardly: Lou Mu Yan, so what if you’re a Grade 5 Alchemist? I will definitely step on you into the mud.

Wei Yu’s gentle and cold eyes were filled with some rare interest.
This Grand Competition sure was really interesting.
He was actually going to meet two Grade 5 Alchemists as opponents? He was excited just thinking about it.

His fighting spirit couldn’t help but spread.
He was actually very lonely without a rival among the new pupils of the Medicine Sect.

Lou Mu Yan then participated in the semi-finals of the Array and Taming Competition.
The rules of the two competitions were similar to those of the preliminaries.

She completed each round in only an incense stick of time each, and finally won a place for the finals in both competitions in a high-profile manner.

After the competition on the first day, she felt a lot more eyes on her.

Excited, complicated, apprehensive, but she ignored them all and left the arena.

Chief referee seat.

“This Lou Mu Yan’s talent is just too good.
Not only did she never fail, but the entire competition process was perfect.” The Elder of the Array Alliance said.

Towards the array talent Lou Mu Yan revealed, he admired it very much.
If she hadn’t already joined the Eight Extremes Sect, he really wanted to dig her into the Array Alliance.

“Yeah! Maybe a second Chi Xiu will be born this time.” The chief referee of the Pill Tower sighed.

“That shouldn’t be the case.
After all, her cultivation base will eventually become the chains on how much she can exert.” An Elder of the Smithing Pavilion said.

In fact, although the referees present and the superiors of the various Sects all felt that Lou Mu Yan’s talent was very good, and she might be a formidable opponent against the other pupils during the semi-finals, but not many people really thought that she could be compared with Chi Xiu.

Whether it was alchemy, smithing, taming, or arrays, it was all absolutely inseparable from cultivation base.
There was another requirement for these four specialisations to reach Grade 5, and that was for one to reach the strength of Sword Venerable.

“But even if she can’t compete for the top three, there’s still hope for the top five.” The chief referee of the Pill Tower said.

“It shouldn’t be a big problem competing for the top five with a performance like hers.”

The next day, Lou Mu Yan went to participate in the rest of the competitions amid the warm greetings from Headmaster Feng and the pupils of the Sect.

The following competitions didn’t disappoint Headmaster Feng and the others either.

She still used an incense stick of time to complete the talisman and smithing rounds each, and once again entered the finals of the two competitions with a high-profile.

In the Strength Competition, she used the same tactics as before, smashing Grade 4 stacked talismans like a local tyrant who didn’t want money, and the opponent was miserably blasted out of the battle stage without even touching a corner of her clothes.

Lou Mu Yan’s unrestricted battle made the viewers roll their eyes.
This wasn’t competing in strength; it was obviously competing with wealth…

Lou Mu Yan’s performance in the semi-finals also made her famous with the six competitions, and other pupils who entered the finals had to include her on their list of dangers.

Of course, there were also some people who didn’t take her to heart at all, because in the preliminaries and semi-finals, she didn’t meet the several popular talents from the various Sects at all.

When the finals arrived, whether she could still be so arrogant and high-profile, they would wait and see!
