The teasing gaze made Xiao Mingyis heart skip a beat, feeling somewhat ominous.

  "Alright, the first round of identifying medicine has ended. Please have all alchemists rest to the side for a short while. The ranking of accumulated points will be announced in half an hour."

  Hua Zhizhi instructed a sentence, all scrolls were graded by three main judges, and Dan Fang was placed separately, not with the scrolls.

  "Brother Liu, your last four prescriptions wont be real, will they?"

  Regardless of the truth, they were all stunned. Zuo Hong walked over with Gu Yongshuang and another woman following behind him. With a flirtatious glance, she sized up Liu Wuxie from head to toe.

  Zuo Hong thought he couldnt do it, but after a few minutes of writing four prescriptions, he had this one question.

  "Regardless of whether its true or false, I wrote it wrong and didnt lose any points."

  Liu Wuxie waved his hand and let Gu Yongfeng and another woman burst out laughing, amused by him.

  Zuo Hong was taken aback by a single sentence, and before he could react, he was choked with laughter. He smiled and said, "What I said is true, but whats important is whether its true or false?"

  "Ill introduce you, this is Gu Yongshuang, the alchemy master from Ying City." A slightly older woman from Ying City bowed her hands to Liu Wuxie as a greeting.

  Return the fist bump!

  "This is Wu Chengs alchemy master Yan Ruyu, dont underestimate her, shes only a few years older than you."

  Another woman from Wu City, ranked fifth, was only twenty years old. Its really rare to see a female alchemist at such a young age.

  Both parties nodded and considered each other acquainted.

  "Were you really trash before?"

  Yan Ruyu approached Liu Wuxie with a curious expression, tilting her head and asking, "Youre really innocent, arent you?"

  "Cough...cough..."

  Zuo Hong coughed dryly and said, "This young lady is really straightforward, asking such sharp questions."

  The only two female alchemists, exceptionally eye-catching, their conversation here attracts many peoples jealousy and hateful gazes, especially Yan Ruyan, who is the legitimate daughter of the Yan family in the Imperial City.

  Many people admire her and want to get close to her, but on the surface, she wears a smile on her icy face, while deep down, she has a coldness that keeps people at bay. Those who pursue her rarely see this playful side of hers.

  "Does Yan Niang also like gossip?"

  The answer is very clever, neither admitting to being a waste nor perfectly evading it.

  Two women gave him a cold stare, and he stopped asking questions. They chatted about some other issues, and after reviewing the 40 scrolls, they were left with the configuration of Dan Fang.

  "Everyone be quiet for a moment, now Im posting the top ten rankings of the scoreboard!"

  The list of twenty-sixth to thirty-fifth was posted, the bill had been written and pasted on a wooden board that had long been prepared, so that everyone present could see it clearly.

  All alchemists stood up with a swoosh and walked towards the notice board to check their results.

  Wen Song was very nervous, last year Feng Niao City ranked thirty-fourth, this year its likely to be at the bottom, eager to rush out and dash towards the posted ranking list.

  "Lets go and take a look too, Brother Liu."

  Zuo Hong took the lead, followed closely by Yan Ruyu and Gu Yongfeng. Liu Wuxie was not in a hurry, while others had already gathered outside the ranking list. He stood far away, tens of meters apart, but his Ghost Pupil Technique allowed him to see everything clearly.

  "Its impossible!"

  Wen Song suddenly sat down on the ground with a thud, letting out a miserable cry. This years first round of medicine identification was a disaster for Feng Rao City, which only scored 26 points and ranked last on the list.

  No one sympathized with him, everyone was quickly looking for their own name, wondering if it would appear on the list.

  "Strange, where did Canglang City go this year?"

  Everyone was confused, Changlan City had been struggling at the bottom for many years, but this year was strange, from 26th to 35th place, the three words "Changlan City" were not found.

  In the viewing area, those big shots came down one after another, looking at the list and falling into deep thought.

  Thirty-five city masters collectively stood up and swept towards the list, some were delighted while others worried.

  "Fengyuan City is actually ranked last, this years Lundan Conference is interesting." Ke Wen stroked his beard, the ranking of the big cities that were lagging behind didnt change much, some rose one place, and some fell one or two places.

  "Meicheng actually fell to thirty-fourth place, which was beyond my expectation. Xuechous performance this year has been somewhat abnormal." Mo Shi said with a furrowed brow, Meicheng ranked thirty-second last year and dropped two places in a row, its too strange.

  There is only one person who is excited that the three words "Canglang City" did not appear on the list, which means that Canglang City has entered the top 25 this year.

  "You see, Wubian City fell to thirty-third place, dropping three places."

  A commotion spread through the crowd as everyones attention turned to Wubian City, for Xiao Mingyi and Liu Wu Xie still had a duel to settle, with the loser kneeling down to kowtow.

  This result almost made Yunlan fall over, the worst score in history. Since he took office as the head of the cabinet, he had never achieved such a low score before, it was too embarrassing.

  Always looking up, it was Dongdu City that killed thirty names and replaced Wu Bian Citys position, which really surprised many people.

  Twenty-six to twenty-nine changes are small, with little difference from last years ranking. The biggest change every year is the last five names, and no one wants to be at the bottom.

  "Its definitely cheating, why didnt Tsang Lung City appear on the list."

  Wen Songs eyes widened in shock, he struggled to get up from the ground, his hair disheveled, and his dignity as the lord of Fengjiao City plummeted. Their sales of elixirs would also plummet.

  Everyone stared at Wen Song like an idiot, questioning the three main referees. From now on, Fengyuan City will have a hard time.

  "How bold!"

  Hua Zhi shouted coldly, interrupting Wen Song. A grand alchemist like him was acting like a street vendor, what kind of dignity was that?

  Feng Rao Citys master, Nan Gong, hastily stepped forward with a smiling face: "Hua Zhi Shi, calm down. Wen Songs questioning of the main judge is indeed not right, but this matter does have some suspicious circumstances. I think we should thoroughly investigate to prevent certain individuals from cheating and winning the Dan Hui Conference."

  Pull Wen Song back behind him, when a person is in anger, its extremely easy to do something irrational, hurry up and stand out to stop him.

  "Youre questioning us."

  Shans face turned gloomy, and a terrifying atmosphere of intimidation enveloped the entire meeting room. Everyone was silent, not daring to speak.

  "I dont dare! I dont dare!"

  Nan Gongs face turned red with embarrassment, and the other officials cast sympathetic glances his way. Since the establishment of the Dan Hui Conference, no one had ever dared to question the chief judges decisions, and he was indeed the first person to do so.

  The audience was in a heated discussion, and this years Lundan seemed ordinary at first glance, but it was actually surging with undercurrents. Until the very last moment, no one knew the specific ranking.

  "Nangong Pavilion Master, dont be discouraged. The medicine identification is just the first round, after all, we will rank based on overall scores, and we still have a chance."

  Yun Luan walked over and comforted him, saying that they were like brothers in adversity, both of their rankings had plummeted.

  Mei City Pavilion Master Heng Zheng walked over: "What Yun Pavilion Master said is right, we still have a chance. Tomorrows Alchemy Conference, we will definitely be able to catch up and narrow the gap."

  Among them, they are sworn enemies. Their disciples were ridiculed by Liu Wuxie, and as the head of the pavilion and their master, they couldnt swallow this insult.

  "Xiao Mingyi, isnt it time to fulfill your promise?"

  A sarcastic voice suddenly came from afar, and only then did everyone remember that there was a bet between Liu Wuxie and Xiao Mingyi, whoever lost would kneel down and kowtow.

  Xiao Mingyis whole body shook, as if he had been electrocuted. His body felt like it was being sifted through a sieve. He looked at Yun Lanh with his eyes wide open, then knelt down in front of everyone and never dared to lift his head again, becoming a street rat that everyone shouted at and hit.

  "Kid, dont be overconfident. Its too early to discuss winning or losing. Maybe your score is zero, thats why youre not on the list."

  Yun Luan let out a loud shout, his overbearing aura crushing Liu Wu Xie, planning to give him a taste of his power.

  "Yunlan, are you bullying us because no one is in charge of Canglang City?" Bi Gongyu took a step forward, blocking Liu Wuxies path, with an aura that was not weaker than his opponents. A terrifying ripple burst out in the air, surging in all directions, and the tables and chairs on the ground exploded one after another.

  The two masters of the cabinet confronted each other on the spot, and the medicine identification link brought about so many things, which is rare.

  "Im not afraid of you!"

  Yun Luans sharp edges were all exposed, and behind him, Nan Gong Qi and Heng Zheng let out bursts of cold laughter, as if they were about to lend a hand.

  Draw your bow!

  Space is still compressing, the tables and chairs on the ground are fragmented, like butterflies, rushing into the air, turning into powder and sprinkling down.

  A massive whirlpool appeared in mid-air, draining the spiritual energy from the surrounding area, its momentum growing stronger and stronger.

  "Enough!" Master Jia shouted, as an even more powerful gust of air shot towards the two, forcing Bi Gongyu and Yunlan to retreat hastily, their chests heaving violently. "You are both masters of a sect, fighting each other in front of so many people, what kind of dignity is this?"

  The Danbao Pavilion lost face today. A Dan Conference caused so many jokes, all because of one person, Liu Wuxie.

  The scene fell into a brief silence as Hua Xie took over the second list, ranking 16th to 25th.

  The top ten rankings, at a glance!

  This time, it wasnt just Yunlan and the others who were shocked, including Bi Gongyu, whose face showed a hint of astonishment.

  "How strange! The Azure Dragon City has yet to appear. Could it be that weve entered the previous fifteen?"

  The quiet venue was once again boiling, with little change in the top ten rankings, similar to last year.

  "You guys say, will Changlan City be the dark horse this year and possibly enter the top ten?"

  The viewing area is messy and too exciting. Originally, many people were unwilling to come forward. The medicine identification link is the most boring, testing peoples patience.

  "Its more than likely that this kid can find a way to cultivate the Seven Spirit Grass, and inexplicably improve the quality of the Pei Yuan Dan. Its not simple, it doesnt seem like luck, he has real talent and skills."

  Everyone is curious about where Tsang Lung City ranks, but as for the top five, there are actually fewer people paying attention.

  Next, the rankings from sixth to fifteenth were posted, and everyones heart was lifted, especially those big cities that ranked fifth and sixth, which were very close in score and could replace each other at any time.

  "Hiss...hiss...hiss..."

  The moment the list was posted, a gasp of shock echoed around him, and Bi Gongyus body stumbled.

  "My goodness! Wu City actually ranked sixth and Ning City ranked seventh."

  Wu City ranked fifth last year and Ning City ranked sixth, each falling one place this year.

  "You... you see, Canglang City hasnt appeared yet."

  An alchemist let out a shrill cry, pointing at the list and unable to speak.

  Du Mingzes eyes narrowed, and Canglan City didnt appear, meaning he had entered the top five. The killing intent in his eyes grew thicker.

  Qin Le Tian and Ji Yang turned their heads, took a glance at Liu Wu Xie, and a hint of complexity flashed in their eyes.

  A drop of cold sweat fell from Xiao Mingyis forehead, his body shaking violently. At this moment, no one noticed him, everyone was attracted by the list.
