The game, the second game!

The ability of their master to disguise themselves has always been greatly admired by them.

Even though their master has the strength, they refuse to reveal it and instead wait for the right moment to leave their opponents feeling frustrated. They can already imagine the splendid expressions on Gu Yao Yi and the others' faces when that happens.

Regarding the evaluation of Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai, Bai Li Hongzhuang appeared innocent and not intentionally pretending.

However, Wei Hanyun and the others had already made up their minds and wouldn't believe her even if she emphasized her skills in alchemy.

In that case, why waste her energy?

Moreover, she only explains herself to those she cares about. As for these people whom she has no good feelings towards, let them think whatever they want.

Eventually, they will believe that she is not just an average alchemist.

"Hongzhuang, we won the first round of the competition, which puts pressure on them. That's why they deliberately said those things to disturb our emotions," Liu Qin Yue said.

Liu Qin Yue understood Wei Hanyun's tactics very well. For alchemists, maintaining a calm mindset is crucial.

If the mindset is not calm enough, their spiritual power will be disrupted, leading to potential problems during the alchemy process.

Bai Li Hongzhuang nodded slightly and smiled, "Don't worry, these tricks have no effect on me."

Seeing Bai Li Hongzhuang unaffected, Liu Qin Yue also smiled. In fact, given Bai Li Hongzhuang's accomplishments in alchemy, those sarcastic remarks were meaningless.

After a brief rest, Cang Hongxi drew the second topic in front of everyone.

"The second round of the alchemy competition is about extracting the essence from Black Rockwood! You must complete the extraction within the specified time. Failure to do so or exceeding the time limit will result in elimination!"

As Cang Hongxi's words fell, the expressions of the crowd changed.

Black Rockwood was one of the most challenging medicinal materials to extract in alchemy. As its name suggests, its outer shell is exceptionally hard like black rock, requiring a prolonged burning of flames to completely burn it away.

However, within that shell lies delicate essence. If the flames are not changed immediately after burning the shell, the essence will evaporate into nothingness.

For their current age group, extracting Black Rockwood was undoubtedly a highly difficult assessment, and it was a competition content that most of them disliked.

Bai Li Hongzhuang narrowed her phoenix eyes. The content of the second round was much more difficult than the first round. She believed that at their age, the majority of alchemists would struggle to extract it easily.

Back when she was learning alchemy, she also found it extremely challenging to deal with Black Rockwood. However, it seemed like those old folks in the family enjoyed giving her difficult tasks, so she had spent quite some time struggling with Black Rockwood before finally improving her extraction efficiency.

However, thanks to Black Rockwood, her mental power became sharper during alchemy, and her ability to control her mental power became more precise.

Now, having to extract Black Rockwood again brought back memories, and a beautiful smile slowly appeared on her lips.

Wei Hanyun and the others' expressions turned slightly grim. It was clear that passing this challenge wouldn't be an easy task.

However, the frustration in their hearts dissipated to some extent when they saw Bai Li Hongzhuang.
