Arrival, Liu Yuyue

The fleeting surprise in Qin Ai's eyes quickly returned to tranquility and serenity.

"Now that the Sect Master has agreed, you may participate in the Alchemist Competition after it begins. However, have you prepared the alchemy furnace and medicinal ingredients required for the competition?"

This Alchemist Competition was not held within the sect but was an exchange between two sects.

To put it nicely, it was called an exchange, but in reality, it was a competition.

Each participant in this competition represented the honor of their respective sects.

If they made a fool of themselves, it wouldn't just be a personal embarrassment but also a disgrace to their sect.

As one of the four Hall Masters, Qin Ai had considerable knowledge about the ins and outs of this Alchemist Competition.

Once this competition was over, it was inevitable that there would be conflicts and disputes.

By that time, various forces would come to know about the situation of this Alchemist Competition.

Therefore, there was no room for mistakes.

"Hall Master, please rest assured. I have already made all the necessary preparations."

Confidence emanated from Bai Li Hongzhuang's flawless face. She had made the necessary preparations well in advance upon learning about the Alchemist Competition.

Although the medicinal ingredients required for refining a sixth-grade pill were slightly expensive, with the help of Emperor Beichen, she had prepared everything properly.

Seeing Bai Li Hongzhuang's confident appearance, Qin Ai's initial worries quietly dissipated.

As the Sect Master's granddaughter, Bai Li Hongzhuang had always performed remarkably well.

If the Sect Master agreed to her participation, it must mean that she had a certain level of confidence.

Even if she couldn't achieve outstanding results, she wouldn't make any major mistakes.

Perhaps the Sect Master wanted Bai Li Hongzhuang to gain valuable experience through this opportunity.

"You just stand behind me and wait for now. The alchemists who are participating in the alchemist assessment haven't arrived yet. Once they arrive, the Alchemist Competition will begin."

Qin Ai's eyes flickered with appreciative and kind light. Given Bai Li Hongzhuang's current identity, she had managed to maintain discipline and had not displayed any arrogance or unruliness.

Just this aspect alone was already quite admirable.

"Yes, Hall Master."

Bai Li Hongzhuang stood quietly behind Qin Ai. In the current situation, there absolutely couldn't be any mistakes.

Soon, the third elder had already brought the participants for the alchemist assessment.

If it were the usual circumstances, the alchemist assessment would be commencing now. However, this time, there was a preceding Alchemist Competition.

If Tian Gang Sect lost in this Alchemist Competition, then a significant portion of the alchemists who had passed the assessment and entered Tian Gang Sect would likely follow the Medicine Sect.

A group of young and youthful faces slowly appeared in everyone's sight. Whenever there were newly recruited disciples, they always attracted the attention of other disciples.

"Look, that woman in the hibiscus-colored dress is so beautiful!"

"Yes, if she can pass the alchemist assessment, she will become our junior sister in the future!"

"I'm going to pursue her!"

Sounds of joy and excitement rang out, and everyone's gaze fell on the group of fresh faces.

Bai Li Hongzhuang also scanned the newcomers and unsurprisingly spotted Liu Qinyue among the crowd.

Liu Qinyue was as stunning as ever, dressed in a hibiscus-colored dress. Her remarkable appearance and gentle temperament made her unforgettable.

While everyone was appraising her, Liu Qinyue's gaze was searching within the crowd...
