Chapter 463: Too Coincidental
The alchemist from the Alchemy King’s Mansion soon announced the rules of the competition.
“This Alchemy Competition will be held over three days. A round will be held each day. In the first round, everyone has to refine a Blood Clot Absorption pill. Candidates who achieve 40 percent and above purity level in the refining will be promoted to the next round!
“Besides, this Alchemy Competition is being held by the Alchemy King’s Mansion. We hope that all of you will abide by the rules and won’t disturb the orderliness of the competition. Otherwise, my Alchemy King’s Mansion will severely punish you!”
After hearing the rules, all the candidates entered the stage for the competition.
“So many people...” The audience watched the participants with dumbfounded expressions. “I heard that 580 people joined the competition this ti. It’s indeed spectacular!”
A round involving 580 people would naturally be ti consuming; by the ti the first round ended, it was already evening.
“So many, 180 people proceeded to the next round! Looks like alchemy is really flourishing!”
“Yes. And, Young Master Wei is indeed first. His purity level is 80 percent. No one is comparable to him!”
“That Ye Zhuixun fellow has a purity level of 60 percent, which is not as good as Young Master Wei’s. But this shows that Ye Zhuixun is decent.”
Amidst the crowd’s discussion, Wei Ziran proudly ca down from the stage. When he passed by Ye Zhuixun, he paused in his footsteps and arrogantly said, “Ye Zhuixun, I thought you were really capable. In your previous alchemy battle, it was just a coincidence that you refined a supre-grade Blood Coagulation pill! This reputation of yours is rely due to your master. Without your master, you’re nothing!”
Ye Zhuixun tightly furrowed his eyebrows. He was about to respond when...
“You’re right! He has a good Master, and it’s a pity that you don’t.” A cold voice spoke before Ye Zhuixun could.
“You!” Wei Ziran furiously raised his head. When his eyes ca into contact with a silver mask, they suddenly shrank. “So... So it’s Miss Jade-Masked Blast.”
“That’s right. It’s . Why? Do you have any issue with my disciple?”
“No... No, this is just a misunderstanding.” Wei Ziran’s face changed, and he forced a smile. “I have to take care of a matter. I won’t disturb the both of you. Farewell.”
Lou Qianxue snorted.
Wei Ziran hurriedly left as if there were a sharp edge pressed on his back.
“Master!” Ye Zhuixun smiled and shook his head. “Why bother to lower yourself to the level of such a person?”
Lou Qianxue replied with a nod. “Your performance today was very good. I heard that the last Alchemy Competition involved many despicable tactics. It’s fine to be low-profile at the beginning as long as you get promoted. You can give your best at the last round and make the alchemists from the Alchemy King’s mansion look at you in a new light. Then, you’ll definitely succeed.”
“Yes, Master. I’ll rember it.”
“Let’s go. Accompany to buy so dicinal herbs.”
While Lou Qianxue and her disciple went to buy herbs, Master Gan also beca happy as he got together with his disciple, Wei Ziran.
“Ziran, not bad. You steadily refined a pill with a purity level of 80 percent. Even I can’t do sothing like that. Maintain this performance, and you’ll definitely win the top spot.”
“Yes, Master.”
“And that Ye Zhuixun is worse than you. You don’t have to mind him. Just focus on the competition.”
“Master, thank you for the reminder. I’ll do as you say.”

The next day.
“In the second round, all the candidates have to refine the Wind Fire pill, a third-grade pill.”
The mont the alchemist from the Alchemy King’s Mansion announced this, a commotion broke out in the venue.
“Wow! Wind Fire pill! The Wind Fire pill that burns so easily?”
“That’s right! Under the fifth-grade herbs, it’s the most difficult pill to refine!”
“Many people will get eliminated this ti!”
True enough, the results were out on the sa day in the afternoon.
“A Wind Fire pill has eliminated 90 percent of the people within a short period! This pill that the Alchemy King’s Mansion chose in this round is really tricky!”
“Yes. However, what surprised the most is that the purity level of Wei Ziran’s pill actually dropped below 80 percent! Didn’t people say that every ti he refines a pill, the pill has a purity level of 80 percent?”
“Yet the purity level of Ye Zhuixun’s pill is the sa at 60 percent. He’s indeed Jade-Masked Blast’s disciple!”
“Yeah! It was not easy for Ye Zhuixun to refine a pill with a purity level of 60 percent in the first round. I didn’t expect him to refine the Wind Fire pill with a purity level of 60 percent in the second round. He has so talent!”
“Although, this makes think. It was 60 percent the last ti, and 60 percent again in this round. Isn’t this too coincidental?”
