Long Road to Stardom

At this moment, Lin Xing felt that although her position was a bit conspicuous, the people around her were all disciples from alchemy families, and they must know more alchemy formulas than her, otherwise she would have been eliminated in the fourth round.

An hour passed quickly, and the fourth round eliminated two-thirds of the alchemists. By the time the fifth round began, there were less than fifty alchemists left.

Soon the fifth round began. The elixir to be refined this time was also a relatively unpopular one. It just so happened that Lin Xing had refined this elixir before, so he recognized it quickly.

There are also several similar spiritual herbs mixed in, and one could easily mistake them for the other if not careful.

Lin Xing had no time to appreciate the strange fire and focused on refining the pill this time.

Bai Zeyu, who was standing next to him, hadn't felt Lin Xing's gaze for a long time and actually felt a little disappointed, which almost made him fail in refining the furnace of pills.

Fortunately, he quickly adjusted his state and concentrated on refining the elixir.

The fifth round lasted two hours, and Lin Xing finished refining it before half of the time had passed, so he had time to look elsewhere.

After a quick glance, she knew that at least thirty people would be eliminated in this round.

Sure enough, when the time came, the results of the fifth round came out quickly. More people were eliminated than she expected, a total of forty-two people, and now there are only thirteen people left on the field.

Lin Xing thought they would start the sixth round directly, but he didn't expect them to rest for half an hour before starting again.

Her first reaction was that there must be some big move in the sixth round.

Half an hour passed quickly.

After hearing the rules of the sixth round, Lin Xing seemed to have guessed it and looked very calm.

The alchemists on the field were not as calm as they looked. Even Bai Zeyu frowned.

The rules this time are also very simple. You just need to find a pill that you want to refine from a pile of spiritual herbs. Any grade will do.

But it’s already the sixth round, who would find a simple spiritual herb to refine? It’s very likely that this is the last round.

When the storage bags containing spiritual herbs were distributed, there were five kinds of spiritual herbs inside that could be used to refine sixth-grade elixirs, some more difficult and some simpler.

If it’s too difficult, it would be bad if you get first place; if it’s too easy, you won’t get second place.

Finally, Lin Xing looked at what everyone else had chosen so that she could choose one.

She saw that many people chose the simple one for safety, but this guy with the strange fire chose the most difficult one.

Seeing how determined he was to win, she really wanted to dampen his enthusiasm.

But business is more important. She wants second place, not first place, so this is fine too.

Among the remaining people, Lin Xing is very confident in Bai Zeyu and thinks he can get first place.

Finally, to be on the safe side, Lin Xing chose one that was neither too difficult nor too simple, and selected it for the sixth round of refining.

The sixth round lasted three hours. Lin Xing and everyone else started to refine the pills. Only after they confirmed the pills they had refined did she begin to refine them.

In less than an hour, Lin Xing had refined the pills, and they were all top-quality and perfect pills.

This made her a little dumbfounded, and she was really afraid that she would get first place.

In the remaining time, she looked at the others with boredom. Several of them had already failed, which meant they had no chance of competing for the top ten.

During this time, she also noticed that a casual cultivator had quite good alchemy skills, but unfortunately the alchemy furnace he used was not worthy of his alchemy skills.

If she changes to a better alchemy furnace, it would be hard to say whether she can keep the second place.

As for the other seven major alchemy families, their levels are basically the same, but judging from the state of their refining, she thinks the Sun family should be the first to be eliminated.

"I don't know if Sun Xiuyuan has any relationship with the Sun family?"

Finally, Lin Xing looked at Bai Zeyu and was very happy to see that he had already refined the pill and looked very confident.

She had already imagined the scene of getting the 'Xuanyin Holy Flower'.

Time passed quietly, and soon three hours were up.

However, the result was not what Lin Xing had expected. There were actually four alchemists who tied for first place.

One of them was herself, and the other three were Bai Zeyu from the Bai family, Qi Zhengchu from the Qi family, and Ding Mo, the independent cultivator with good alchemy skills that she had seen before.

In this case, how should the prize be distributed?

Soon the call for an extra round came.

This kind of situation has happened before in previous Alchemist Conferences, but this time there are more people tied for first place.

The monks who were watching outside also started talking about it.

"There will be something interesting to watch at this Alchemist Conference. I wonder who will get the first place in this Alchemist Conference."

Someone soon expressed his thoughts.

"If you ask me, Bai Zeyu from the Bai family has the highest chance. He is the only one among the four who has a strange fire."

As soon as this was said, someone immediately refuted, "That's not the case. The strength of the Qi family should not be underestimated. The Qi family has always won first place in the past, and I think this time will be no exception."

"Why do you all think highly of the disciples trained by the aristocratic families? I think that independent cultivator has a better chance. For an independent cultivator to have made it to this point, he must have some extraordinary qualities."

The cultivator who was more optimistic about Lin Xing couldn't help but interrupt and said, "I think the alchemist hired by the Wen family has a better chance."

"Didn't you all notice that this alchemist was refining very quickly, especially in the sixth round. He was the last one to fire, but the first to finish. The key point is that the pills he refined were all of perfect quality."

"If the other three hadn't chosen the more difficult sixth-grade elixir, there would be no chance for them to tie for first place with this alchemist."

As soon as these words were spoken, many monks felt that they made a lot of sense, but soon voices of rebuttal were raised.

Lin Xing naturally heard some of the discussions outside, but she didn't care about it. She wasn't going to get first place anyway. But how could she get second place?

Lin Xing fell into deep thought, silently wondering whether the spiritual herbs for refining seventh-grade elixirs would appear in the seventh round.

She had never come into contact with a seventh-grade elixir, so if she really tried to refine it, the chance of failure would be higher than the chance of success.

I can only take it one step at a time, Lin Xing comforted himself in his heart.

After a while, the rules for the seventh round were announced.

When Lin Xing heard the rules, he realized that they were definitely simpler and more brutal than the previous six rounds.

There are two options, one is the spiritual herbs for refining seventh-grade elixirs, and the other is the spiritual herbs for refining sixth-grade elixirs, and the elixir recipe is also attached.

She was more inclined to refine sixth-grade elixirs, but seeing that they all chose to refine spiritual herbs for seventh-grade elixirs, there was no point for her to fight for second place, she would always be inferior. But if two of them failed to refine the elixir, her chance would come.

"Which one should I choose?"
