In the sports hall, at this mont, the big shots of the Cultivation World had already gathered. The alluring Baihua Palace Master gracefully entered, causing all the cultivators to look at her with admiration and awe in their eyes. She elegantly sat in the view area prepared for her and the other big shots of the event.
After all, as the Baihua Palace Master, Weisheng Zhii holds a uniquely influential status as one of the twelve individuals of supre standing in the Cultivation World. It's certainly not just any ordinary sect leader who can sit beside her. Surrounding her, without exception, were the sect leaders of the five super first-class sects or the family heads of the five super first-class families.
In an area filled with such prominent figures, the environnt around Weisheng Zhii was exceptionally tranquil. By contrast to them, the nearby area reserved for the Immortal Realm Forum, dicine King Valley, and the Thirty-two Skillful Hands live streaming zone was noticeably noisy.
Especially the two people hosting the livestream in the middle.
Because the review convention had not formally comnced yet, no cultivators had set up barriers to prevent the sound from transmitting outside, so the two livestream hosts were animatedly speaking.
"As soone who might not be an excellent alchemist, I must admit, the quality of this entire elixir convention is exceptionally high, offering plenty to watch. Not only do we have last year's pride of the heavens Chu Xiaotian competing, but also Lin Fenghang, who ranks even higher on the top alchemist list, and the perfect fairy Qin Yurou. More impressively, this year's elixir convention boasts the most powerful black horse in history."
"Teacher Song, are you referring to Shen Qiang from Heshenghe?" Another female livestream host imdiately asked.
This comnt caused a slight smile to appear on Weisheng Zhii's pretty face, her smile becoming even more proud.
However, at that mont, an elder who appeared rather distinguished imdiately laughed, "Shen Qiang can arguably be counted as a black horse; his performance has been comndable, especially with the successful sales of Gathering Qi Powder, receiving almost seventy billion in orders. But in my view, he's at most an outstanding businessman and falls short of being a black horse."
Instantly, Weisheng Zhii's expression turned sowhat displeased.
Yet the other big shots in the area were listening with keen interest.
"Teacher Song, with all due respect, Shen Qiang's elixir pills currently have a very good reputation," a young comntator stated.
Upon hearing this, the elder sneered, "Gathering Qi Powder can be refined by any alchemist; Shen Qiang just monopolized the raw materials with ample stock, which doesn't signify he's very skilled at alchemy. When I speak of a black horse, I'm referring to the genius from the Chen Family under the Thirty-two Skillful Hands, the seventeen-year-old prodigy Chen Hao. He independently created the pill recipe for the White Jade Red Sun Pill, capable of dispelling gloomy yin, and it's an authentic masterpiece. I predict he'll definitely secure a spot among the top eight alchemists this year."
On hearing this, the young comntator slightly frowned, "Teacher Song, hold on, when it cos to self-created pill recipes, Shen Qiang is the number one in the Cultivation World. Whether it's Jiazi Pill, Half Armor Spirit Pill, Beauty Concealnt Pill, the legendary Tiless Beauty Pill, or the unprecedented Dahe Luojianan Fragrance, each one is a divine-level elixir pill. Compared to him, Chen Hao is evidently far behind."
On hearing this, Weisheng Zhii's expression eased a bit.
The other big shots also nodded in approval.
But at this mont, the elder chuckled, "Young people should speak less and listen more. Firstly, Dahe Luojianan Fragrance is a fragrance, not an elixir pill. Jiazi Pill and Beauty Concealnt Pill just erged recently. Though their functions are touted as potent, they haven't been validated over ti. In other words, everything, including reputation, is proclaid by Shen Qiang himself; who can guarantee that taking his Jiazi Pill will definitely allow one to live for sixty years? Who can assert that consuming the Beauty Concealnt Pill will indeed keep one youthfully eternal?"
The young comntator was montarily stunned, "This..."
"This clearly requires ti for validation," the elder seized the opportunity to continue, "So decades later, once everything is verified, only then saying he's a black horse will be reasonable. For now, rather than calling him a black horse, it's more apt to say he's an outstanding businessman."
"This ti, Shen Qiang brought with him a spirit pill capable of curing cancer, which might change human history," the young comntator argued defiantly.
The elder laughed, "Similarly, it's an elixir pill that can't be instantly validated, which holds no significance, understand? On the other hand, Chen Hao's elixir pill is different; his White Jade Red Sun Pill has already been verified. It's not only truly effective but also affordably priced, with its raw materials posing no issue. That is the truly useful elixir pill."
"Therefore, in this year's elixir convention, the four individuals I favor most are the pride of the heavens Chu Xiaotian, Lin Fenghang, then Qin Yurou, and Chen Hao. As for Shen Qiang, I believe if his elixir pills can reach the level of the top sixteen, that would already be a miracle."
On hearing this, Weisheng Zhii coldly glared at the elder. Unfortunately, the elder did not notice and continued his eloquent discourse.
"Not just that, because more elixir pills are competing this year, to avoid affecting the pace of the review, thirty-four alchemist sects will conduct an elimination based on the lowest rank in the first round of review," the elder said.
The young comntator seed sowhat dissatisfied with the elder's dismissive remarks about Shen Qiang's elixir pills but, taking a mont, continued following the script, "Oh, what does elimination based on the lowest rank an?"
"Thirty-four alchemist sects will engage in head-to-head battles, with the winner advancing. However, at the end of the first round, there will be seventeen winners, resulting in an odd number. To save ti, the event will directly eliminate the seventeenth place, thus forming a top sixteen, followed by a top eight, top four, top two, and finally selecting the first place," the elder explained.
The young comntator said, "Then why not choose one among the seventeen winners to be a seed contestant, comparing them to other victors?" Reciting according to the script.
The elder laughed, "Oh, that's because there's not enough ti. If the five rounds progress smoothly, the results can be out before dark. Similarly, if a seed contestant is selected, continual comparison would only waste ti."
On hearing this, the young comntator laughed, "Indeed, among the seventeen winners, those with the lowest scores are unlikely to reach the top, so eliminating the lowest rank is a good thod. However, I still slightly disagree with your remarks. From my understanding, I believe Shen Qiang is the biggest black horse, so let's make a prediction. Personally, I think Shen Qiang could possibly enter the top four, and at worst, he could make it to the top eight."
On hearing this, Weisheng Zhii imdiately and clearly saw the elder frown, giving the young comntator a look as though asking why he wasn't following the scripted lines. Moreover, he tightened his brows and said arrogantly, "Young man, you're overestimating Shen Qiang. Trust , not to ntion the top eight, even entering the top sixteen I believe is a dream Shen Qiang cannot accomplish!"
