Conversation, influence

Bai Li Hongzhuang could tell from the expressions of everyone that they had never heard of the Alchemist Grand Competition before.

It seemed that even the Sect Master himself was conflicted about the matter, which was why so few people in the Celestial Constellation Sect knew about it.

If possible, Bai Li Hongzhuang believed that her grandfather would prefer not to hold this Alchemist Grand Competition.

However, the current situation seemed to make it difficult to refuse.

The chances of changing this situation were slim, as evident from Emperor Beichen's attitude during their previous conversation.

"The current situation is a bit complicated and involves the Celestial Constellation Sect and the Medicine Sect," Bai Li Hongzhuang spoke slowly.

The day of the Alchemist Assessment was approaching, and since the Celestial Constellation Sect hadn't come up with a solution to deal with the Medicine Sect, it seemed that holding the competition was inevitable.

She believed that everyone would know about this news in the next couple of days.

With that in mind, Bai Li Hongzhuang directly informed everyone of the news.

Upon hearing the true situation from Bai Li Hongzhuang, everyone's expressions changed.

"No way! If they really do this, it's despicable," Xia Zhiqing's face was filled with disbelief. "The Medicine Sect is also a major sect. If they resort to such means, it will surely tarnish their reputation!"

She couldn't understand why a prestigious sect would employ such underhanded tactics, as it would undoubtedly have an impact on their reputation if it were to be exposed.

Gong Shaoqing shook his head. "It's clear that the Sect Master suffered a hidden loss in this matter. Even until the end, he won't reveal the process to others because if it becomes known to other sects, the Sect Master's reputation will be equally tarnished."

"That's why the Medicine Sect is acting so brazenly. They had already set a trap," Dongfang Yu added.

Bai Li Hongzhuang nodded. They were all not foolish people, and with a little thought, they could understand the key points.

"No wonder we haven't heard any news in this regard recently. So, the reason lies here," Yuan Xiaoman suddenly realized.

They had been in the Celestial Constellation Sect for quite some time, but until now, no significant activities had taken place, so they were naturally concerned about the upcoming Alchemist Assessment.

Moreover, this matter was related to Gong Shaoqing and Liu Qinyue, so they had inquired about it before.

However, they hadn't obtained any definite results in the end.

"Hongzhuang, what does the Sect intend to do now?" Gong Shaoqing asked.

Bai Li Hongzhuang shook her head, a hint of helplessness in her expression.

"We don't know yet. I believe the disciples of the Alchemy Hall must be worrying about this matter right now."

Even now, the situation was not clear enough.

They would have to wait until the sect made an announcement to the public before they would know what to do.

However, knowing that this matter wouldn't affect Liu Qinyue's participation in the assessment, everyone felt somewhat relieved.

After some more conversation, they had dinner together, enjoying themselves and drinking merrily before returning to their respective cultivation halls.

On the way back, Bai Li Hongzhuang contemplated the Alchemist Grand Competition.

Until now, she had no knowledge of the alchemy techniques of the Alchemy Hall disciples in the Celestial Constellation Sect.

She could only think of a solution once she knew the extent of the gap in their abilities.
