"Look, someone is coming!"

Everyone looked up in the direction of the speaker and saw five beams of light approaching from a distance. Soon, five people were already nearby. One of them was wearing the Taoist robe of the Wanxian Sect, and the other four were the judges who had just left.

It was none other than True Man Chunxu of Chuyun Sect, True Man Huaijian of Mingxuan Sect, True Man Chizhu of Shengbao Sect, and Wanderer Rufeng, who were the judges who had no connection with the three alchemist teams participating in this additional test.

"Everyone, I am the deacon for this additional test. My name is Ming Xuezai, a cultivator from the Shengbao Sect, currently serving as a deacon for the Wanxian Sect. I will preside over this additional test, and I will record its cause, process, and results in detail in the Immortal Competition Chronicle."

"It really is something I'm going to record in the Xiansai Chronicles."

As soon as Deacon Ming finished speaking, Sui An heard Shi Xu sigh.

"Brother Shi, this alchemy room has a total of one hundred small alchemy spaces. We only used forty of them in the finals. But even among those forty, there are repeated formations. The most complex of these repeated formations is the one that incorporates the four magical energies of wind, fire, water, and earth. I just deduced in my mind how to use these formations to aid in alchemy."

As Sui An spoke, he roughly explained the process of his deduction to Shi Xu and Fan Tuo.

"Sister Sui, how were you able to observe the other small alchemy spaces in the alchemy room while refining the elixir? And how did you come up with the method of balance in such a short time?"

After hearing Sui An's words, Fan Tuo couldn't help but ask.

"Talent, understanding, and luck are all essential, and hard work and practice are also necessary."

Sui An answered casually.

"Which of these is the most important?" Fan Tuo felt that his talent and understanding were not too bad, and diligent practice was the easiest to achieve.

"Luck." Sui An answered again, "Don't ask anymore. The deacon is about to announce the small alchemy space used for the competition."

Fan Tuoben was still struggling with the most illusory and elusive word "luck" and wanted to ask if there was any way to improve his luck, but when he heard Sui An's words, he quickly turned his attention back to look at Ming Xue who was standing in front of him.

Ming Xuezai's gaze swept over the faces of the nine cultivators in the three alchemist groups. Sui An didn't know if it was her illusion, but she felt that Ming Xuezai's gaze lingered on her for a while, as if he was looking at something.

"The small alchemy spaces No. 12, 27, and 34 are all equipped with Wind Mixing Formations. The formations are identical and can be used as competition venues. Do you have any opinions?"

Naturally, everyone has no objection.

Only refining one kind of elixir this time was a good thing for the Jinling Sect's alchemist team. After all, Sui An not only guessed the small alchemy space where the competition took place before the competition, but also directly gave a way to deal with it. So their alchemy was on the right track from the beginning, and they found a way to use formations to assist in alchemy.

But for the Danfu Sect and the Qi Family cultivators, the shorter the competition time, the more disadvantageous it is for them, because they need time to integrate the relationship between formations and alchemy.

With a quarter of an hour left before the one-hour limit, Sui An made the last hand seal, and then the Lieque fire slowly floated up from the bottom of the dark blue alchemy furnace, until it reached Sui An's palm and was collected into her dantian.

A batch of Xiaoyudan has been refined.

The furnace lid was opened, and Shi Xu and Fan Tuo stood up almost at the same time, sticking their heads out to look inside. Sui An did the same, although she already knew the result.

Eight round pills lay quietly at the bottom of the furnace, two of them were top grade, six were mid-grade, and there was no low grade. Moreover, if you looked closely at one of the top grade pills, you could see a faint light and shadow rotating slightly in it, but that light and shadow was so faint that it could not be seen all the time.

"The top grade is full, but the best grade is not reached." Shi Xu sighed with regret, feeling both shocked and relieved. Fortunately, he had just handed the alchemy task to Sui An, and fortunately, this additional test did not require an alchemist to make the elixir, otherwise, with his strength, he would be far from enough.

The pills on their side were already ready, and the four judges and Ming Xue discovered it naturally. The moment the lid of the furnace was opened, five spiritual senses almost simultaneously probed into the bottom of the furnace. When they saw the eight pills, they had already come to the conclusion of the result of this extra test.

Rufeng Sanren and Chi Zhu Zhenren, the pair who loved to argue the most, looked at each other and could see what was in each other's mind from each other's eyes.

Master Chi Zhu: Don’t blame the Danfu Sect for being incompetent, it’s because the Jinling Sect is too strong.

Rufeng Sanren: Haha, you famous and powerful sects always like to find excuses when you encounter problems.

Master Chi Zhu: Don’t argue just for the sake of arguing.

Rufengsanren: I don’t.

Master Chi Zhu: You do.

Rufeng Sanren: I...

"Cough!" The two were arguing with each other with their eyes when they heard a light cough. They immediately turned their gaze and looked towards the three small alchemy spaces below. The three alchemy teams had already completed alchemy.

"Now that all three groups have finished refining the elixir, the time is up. Please allow the four judges to give their respective results."

This time, the judging criteria were purely based on pill quality and success rate, and there were only three alchemist teams, so the judging results came out in just a few moments.

This time the result was not constructed with spiritual light above the entire alchemy room, but was announced directly by Ming Xue.

"First place in the supplementary test: Jinling Sect, with 80% success rate, two top-grade pills, one of which had a slight pill shadow formed, and six mid-grade pills; second place: Wangzhou Qi Family, with 70% success rate, one top-grade pill, five mid-grade pills, and one low-grade pill; third place: Danfu Sect, with 70% success rate, one top-grade pill, five mid-grade pills, and one low-grade pill."

The Jinling Sect won first place. In the eyes of all the cultivators, some were surprised, but more people felt that "they are just too strong and you can't deny it."

"Hey, the Danfu Sect and the Qi Family have the same success rate and quality of pills, so why did the Qi Family come in second and the Danfu Sect last?"

Someone first raised this question and asked it out loud, but for the Danfu Sect, this question did not stand up for them, but made them feel even more embarrassed.

"The Danfu Sect is one of the six major sects in Yunchuan, renowned for its alchemy and talismans. Whether in terms of cultivation strength or the level of alchemy techniques, the Wangzhou Qi family is far inferior to the Danfu Sect. Despite the significant disparity in strength, they achieved the same results in the competition. According to the judging rules of the Immortal Sect Competition, the weaker party wins. I wonder if this deacon has explained this clearly enough?"

Even without the use of the Thunder Note, Ming Xue's voice was clearly resounding in every corner of the alchemy room. Similarly, the crowd in front of the teleportation mirror outside the alchemy room, some of whom were simply watching the fun, some had placed bets on this additional test, or some of the cultivators who were actually related to the three parties in the competition, also heard these words clearly.

The Jinling Sect won, which was within Sui An's expectations. Although she was also worried about accidents, fortunately nothing happened.

But she didn't expect that the Danfu Sect had lost another person, and in this way.

She couldn't help but look at Xiao Qin, Guan Shanhai and Liu Chengfeng from the Danfu Sect. The three of them looked very bad, and Xiao Qin was even paler. Liu Chengfeng stared at them intently, then turned his face away and stopped looking at them.

"It seems that we have offended the Danfu Sect." Shi Xu said.

"Even if there's no extra test, we've already offended them by ranking ahead of them in the finals."

Sui An actually didn't want to provoke the Danfu Sect. Not to mention that they were one of the six major sects with strong strength and influence, she was extremely grateful to the Danfu Sect's Master Fang Ji for having saved them once.

This additional test was not instigated by them. The Liu and Wu families in Chunkong City had their own plans and took advantage of the situation. The Qi family might also have something to ask for. The Danfu Sect felt that its strength was not fully utilized in the finals and was dissatisfied with the result. They wanted to make a comeback, which led to the current situation.

"Fellow Daoist Liu, since the three fellow Daoists from the Golden Spirit Sect have proven with their strength that their achievements are well-deserved, you must keep your promise. Fellow Daoist Liu should be able to make this decision, right?"

Someone spoke loudly. Sui Anchao looked towards the direction where the voice came from and saw Song Mingyue from Lingque Sect. Although he, Xiao Qin and Qu Manxiang's group only won tenth place, it was much better than the results in the preliminary and semi-finals. Moreover, the first place was also the alchemist group from Lingque Sect. Now that this agreement was called out by a cultivator from Lingque Sect, even a cultivator from Danfu Sect would not be able to show dissatisfaction.

"My senior brother is the young master of the Liu family, so what he says is naturally counted." Before Liu Xuanjie could speak, Zeng Yu had already answered Song Mingyue's words with an expression that said, "Don't judge a gentleman by your own mean heart."
