Look away!

Baili Hongzhuang closed her eyes, and her spiritual power quickly spread, enveloping the entire pill furnace. The situation inside the pill furnace was fully presented in her mind.

The black rock wood looked like a black piece of wood, but it was exceptionally hard. Even when burned with flames, it took a long time to burn it completely.

Baili Hongzhuang was patient, constantly controlling the temperature of the flames, refining the black rock wood bit by bit.

On the high platform, the six alchemists seemed to be in a state of meditation, except for the subtle movements coming from inside the pill furnace, indicating that they were refining the black rock wood.

Although many people couldn't understand the situation, they were still filled with interest.

After all, the assessment of alchemists was usually not made public, so seeing it today allowed them to gain a better understanding of alchemists.

Chu Jiyu's gaze swept across the six alchemists one by one, finally resting on Baili Hongzhuang.

In fact, she had thought before that Baili Hongzhuang was just an average alchemist.

Even in this first round of the competition, Baili Hongzhuang had only awakened Liu Qinyue, which she considered to be mere luck.

This first round of the competition was only a test of the alchemist's attentiveness and was not difficult. It wasn't surprising that Baili Hongzhuang had succeeded.

However, now, as she watched Baili Hongzhuang calmly refining the black rock wood, she felt that Baili Hongzhuang was not as simple as she had imagined.

Lin Hao noticed Chu Jiyu's gaze and couldn't help but ask, "Senior Chu, what do you think of Baili Hongzhuang's level?"

He also noticed Baili Hongzhuang. According to what Huan Chuoyu had told them earlier, only Liu Qinyue was supposed to participate in the alchemy competition this time.

They were all discerning people. Baili Hongzhuang was clearly a temporary participant, and her alchemy skills should not have been strong. But so far, Baili Hongzhuang had shown a different side.

"I think this little girl's strength may be stronger than we initially expected," Chu Jiyu said slowly.

Having spent so many years in the Alchemist Guild, she had seen many young alchemists. She could deduce a lot of information just from a person's energy and spirit.

"It's not impossible. Although Liu Qinyue is an alchemist, her cultivation level is not bad," Chen Yiyu spoke up.

"It's just a pity that this girl has focused all her energy on cultivation. Otherwise, she would have been an outstanding alchemist."

Chu Jiyu sighed faintly, feeling a bit regretful.

"Her talent can't be compared to Liu Qinyue's after all. I heard that Wei Hanyun is also a second-rank alchemist, quite remarkable."

Lin Hao's face showed a pleased smile. The appearance of so many talented young alchemists made him feel gratified.

Chu Jiyu nodded, "Indeed, this younger generation is indeed outstanding this time."

Not far away, Huan Chuoyu listened to the conversation between Chu Jiyu and the others, a deep and inscrutable smile appearing on his face.

It seemed that these old guys had also misjudged the situation this time.

Huan Chuoyu thought for a moment. If it weren't for Baili Hongzhuang participating in the Alchemist Guild's assessment on her own, he wouldn't have known that Baili Hongzhuang was so accomplished in alchemy.

After Baili Hongzhuang started refining the black rock wood, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai also stopped making a fuss. After all, this was not the time to be distracted.

As time passed, Baili Hongzhuang noticed that the outer shell of the black rock wood was gradually softening.
