"Chih!"
Just as Wei Meidai was perplexed and astonished, a voice suddenly sounded, followed by the smell of something burning.
As it turned out, while Wei Meidai was distracted, the medicinal herb had already turned to ashes...
Wei Meidai's face instantly turned ugly. She didn't expect that her momentary distraction would lead to the failure of her first attempt at refining the herb.
She glared angrily at Baili Hongzhuang, but Baili Hongzhuang didn't even spare her a glance.
When she looked up, she saw Gu Cangyun's reproachful gaze, so she didn't dare delay any further and quickly picked up the second herb to continue the refining process.
Time slowly passed, and Baili Hongzhuang remained composed and confident. Finally, as a faint fragrance wafted out from the pill, a delicate smile curved her lips.
The pill... was about to be successfully refined!
Huan Chu You and Tong Qingyuan wore the same smile on their faces. It was certain that Baili Hongzhuang, a first-grade alchemist, would pass the assessment.
Wei Meidai caught a whiff of the familiar and refreshing aroma of the pill, and her face instantly turned unpleasant.
She actually succeeded... Baili Hongzhuang had actually succeeded!
She had previously said that Baili Hongzhuang couldn't possibly refine the pill, but now she was still purifying the pill, and Baili Hongzhuang's pill was about to be successfully refined!
Wei Meidai's heart was in turmoil, and the last bit of reliance she had crumbled to nothing.
Recalling the scene that had happened in the guild hall earlier, she feared that she would be utterly embarrassed once news of today's events spread!
"Chih!"
Another familiar sound rang out, and the herb that Wei Meidai was about to finish purifying was once again turned to ashes!
Wei Meidai's face turned pale, as her control over the flames was already insufficient. When her mind was in chaos, she couldn't control them at all...
"Ding!"
Baili Hongzhuang flicked her delicate hand, directly opening the lid of the alchemy furnace. A perfectly round and flawless Revitalizing Pill sat quietly inside the furnace.
She casually picked up a white porcelain bottle placed on the table and placed the pill inside.
Everything went smoothly and naturally, as if it was meant to be.
Placing the white porcelain bottle on the table, Baili Hongzhuang finally looked at Huan Chu You and Tong Qingyuan on the high platform. "It's done."
Huan Chu You and Tong Qingyuan walked up to Baili Hongzhuang's table, picked up the white porcelain bottle, and opened it. Inside lay a perfectly round and flawless Revitalizing Pill, emanating a strong medicinal fragrance that filled their nostrils.
Huan Chu You nodded, not concealing his satisfaction in the slightest. "This Revitalizing Pill is refined very well, it can be considered perfect!"
Tong Qingyuan also wore a look of agreement. "Indeed."
"So, can I consider myself to have passed the assessment as a first-grade alchemist?" Baili Hongzhuang smiled lightly and asked.
"Naturally." Tong Qingyuan quickly replied.
As a second-grade alchemist, he was usually sought after by everyone, but in front of Baili Hongzhuang, who was hailed as a divine physician, he couldn't hold any airs.
"Thank you." Baili Hongzhuang arched her hand and smiled.
On the other side, Wei Meidai, who had been completely ignored by everyone, stood awkwardly in place. The designated time hadn't even arrived yet, but it seemed that everyone had almost forgotten about her existence.
Should she continue refining the pill or give up?
Baili Hongzhuang glanced indifferently at Gu Cangyun, her lips curling into a mocking smile.
No more words were needed; the meaning was already clear.
Gu Cangyun's face turned red, and he waved his sleeve before leaving with large strides. "Let's go!"
Wei Meidai didn't know what to do and hurriedly followed Gu Cangyun's departure.
If she continued to stay here, she would probably face endless humiliation.
