How could someone as well-behaved as Sister Yue possibly be a playboy?

"Refine a batch of pills, and rank them according to time, grade, quality, and quantity," the elder announced the second round of questions.

Everyone began preparing for the second round.

Ye Yueyue was also thinking about what kind of pill to refine. In the last round, she chose a first-tier pill in a conventional way and deliberately kept the success rate low.

Seeing that everyone's success rate in achieving the pill was 7, Ye Yueyue relaxed her mindset slightly.

Her goal this time was to test the results, and she wasn't so fixated on the rankings, since she was confident of making it into the top 100.

Ye Yueyue was considering whether or not to refine second-grade pills. She was very skilled at controlling first-grade pills to perfection, but she hadn't refined many second-grade pills. She wanted to give it a try.

After thinking it over, Ye Yueyue decided to take the risk. She was confident in herself and believed that at least the oven wouldn't explode.

However, she really lacked confidence in the quality; as for the success rate of pills, she hadn't yet achieved a 100% success rate with second-tier pills.

The second round of the competition began soon afterward.

After the elder lit the incense stick, Ye Yueyue focused intently on the task at hand, handling and refining the spiritual plants with even greater care than before, leaving no stone unturned, while multitasking.

Her advantage is speed and high success rate in achieving the desired result.

If it were a simple competition, Ye Yueyue knew she couldn't beat others, so she used her strengths to compensate for her weaknesses.

This is also why Ye Yueyue decided to challenge the second-tier pills.

Because Ye Yueyue's performance in the previous round was successful despite most people's skepticism, everyone's attention was inevitably drawn to her in the second round.

Seeing that she had selected the spiritual plants and started processing them, some of the Danfeng disciples couldn't help but speak up as they looked at the plants in her hands.

"Is she refining a second-tier pill? The materials for an antidote pill... Ye Yueyue actually has this kind of skill?"

"Isn't she from Sword Peak? How come she's refining second-tier pills?"

"I don't know, how come all the disciples this year are so talented? Are they trying to kill us all?" one disciple complained indignantly.

"Our Junior Sister Yue is the most powerful!" the Sword Peak disciple said proudly.

"Go, Junior Sister Yue! Defeat them!"

The disciples of Sword Peak became excited and began to cheer for Ye Yueyue.

Their faces were filled with sincerity and encouragement, and their voices grew louder and louder, momentarily drowning out everyone else present.

Looking at this scene, Yue Du's eyes flashed with surprise. His junior sister seemed to be very popular.

Unbeknownst to Yue Du, Ye Yueyue had already garnered favor on other peaks, not to mention the local ones. Every time she went to Sword Peak to practice swordsmanship, she would greet everyone with a smile and sweetly call out "Senior Sister" and "Senior Brother."

As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face.

Over time, they naturally became familiar with each other. Besides, Ye Yueyue herself was very hardworking, and she not only had her own script but also her disciples' scripts. Even if they weren't outstanding, she would encourage them.

The emotional value is almost maximized.

Over time, Ye Yueyue became quite famous in Jianfeng.

Everyone's impression of her is that she is a talented and hardworking genius girl who is not arrogant at all as a direct disciple, but rather very approachable.

What reason do they have not to like this?

Yue Du's slender fingers tapped lightly on the table, her gaze falling on the dazzling girl on the competition stage, whose bright face exuded composure and confidence.

……

The second round of competition has ended.

The elder called for a halt after the burning stopped, and all the disciples looked at him.

Ye Yueyue was the first to finish refining, followed by several disciples of Danfeng, including Si Keke.

In the second round, almost all the disciples finished refining their items within the allotted time, and none were eliminated.

Next, the elders examined the elixirs.

It was also the most crucial and decisive moment. All of Ye Yueyue's tension disappeared, replaced by anticipation, wondering what her ranking would be.

For the past six months, she has been working behind closed doors, without contacting anyone except Si Keke. She doesn't know the extent of her skills, only that her success rate in obtaining pills is relatively high.

She couldn't control the success rate of this batch of pills; in other words, she couldn't control it, because Ye Yueyue wasn't particularly skilled in making second-tier pills.

This batch of detoxifying pills contains eight pills, but she can tell without even looking that they are all of inferior quality.

Ye Yueyue sighed; it was really too difficult without a wood elemental root.

"Mu Xiujin, one high-grade Qi-stabilizing pill, five mid-grade pills, and one low-grade pill, is the best in Dan Peak!" The elder announced the final list.

"Si Keke, two high-grade and five mid-grade second-tier detoxification pills, third place on Pill Peak!"

Below them were all disciples of Danfeng, and Ye Yueyue was ranked tenth.

Judging by speed and success rate, they can barely win.

"Junior Sister Yue, you're amazing!" The Sword Peak disciples couldn't help but cheer.

"Junior Sister Yue, you are the pride of our Sword Peak!"

Upon learning the result, Ye Yueyue couldn't help but smile. She greeted everyone and said with utmost sincerity:

"Thank you all for your support just now. It's because of your encouragement that I was able to perform so well today!"

Ye Yueyue's clear voice echoed on the competition stage. The sound was neither too loud nor too soft, but everyone heard it.

Looking into the girl's bright eyes and earnest expression, Yue Du seemed to understand why she was so popular.

She stepped off the stage, made a heart shape with her hands towards Jian Youqing, and returned to her seat.

"Hmph, so you all underestimated my junior sister, huh? You got your comeuppance, didn't you?" A Sword Peak disciple sneered as he watched the Pill Peak disciple walk off the stage looking dejected.

This is the same person who previously mocked Ye Yueyue for overestimating herself.

The Danfeng disciple's face flushed red, and he didn't say a word, but he felt a burning pain on his face.

Yue Feichen smiled as he watched his disciple approach. "You silly child, I was wondering why I hadn't seen you all this time. So you went to Danfeng to study?"

His tone was accusatory, but anyone could hear the smugness in his words.

The peak master of Danfeng glanced at him, his gaze falling on Ye Yueyue, "Your disciple is talented."

"It's just kids messing around, I wonder if their swordsmanship has improved at all." Yue Feichen sighed, seemingly worried.

All the peak masters: "..."

Peak Master Fu frowned, silently turned his head away, and rolled his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yueyue knew without even looking that her cheap master was trying to show off, so she said with a sincere face, "Master, your disciple has not fallen behind!"

"Yes, we must not slack off," Yue Feichen said, feigning seriousness.

He was secretly delighted and even more satisfied with his apprentice, Ye Yueyue.

He really made a name for himself.

Seeing the constipated expression on Peak Master Fu Feng's face, Yue Feichen felt extremely relieved.

The peak master of Fufeng was angered by his smug look, so he snorted coldly and didn't say anything.

The open and covert struggle between the two has temporarily come to an end.

Ye Yueyue quietly approached Yue Du and asked, "Senior Brother Yue, I didn't embarrass you, did I?"

Seeing the girl's bright eyes, her chin slightly raised, and her face filled with undisguised pride, Yue Du's lips curled up slightly, and he chuckled inwardly: "Of course not."

"Can I ask for a reward?"
