These things all require ti!
"I still don’t know what fault your Senior Brother has committed, not only was he deprived of his Seed Cultivator Position, he is even forbidden to use the Original Source True Fire in the second match."
Facing this question, Tao Yisheng didn’t know how to answer.
Tao Wen said, "If I can achieve the position of a True Disciple, maybe I will be able to uncover the truth."
Is it possible?
There’s a great chance!
As ti progressed into the deep night, the second person to produce a Dustfall Pill appeared.
It was sowhat beyond everyone’s expectations.
It wasn’t Dan Yangzi, nor the previously talented Xuan Yunzi.
It was Fu Hua, the Pill Refiner of the Fu Family!
For the second round of the Pill Refinent Competition, he cleverly chose to focus his efforts on the most important Third Order Elixir Refinent of the third match.
With the full support of the Fu Family, this Pill Formula had been researched to the extre.
He had even succeeded in private.
Now, he had finally secured a good ranking for the Fu Family!
If one considered his previous two fourth-place finishes, his final overall ranking was likely to be quite impressive.
At this ti, soone subconsciously glanced at Dan Yangzi.
The latter was still silent, still struggling to refine the Dustfall Pill, and it seed he was just one step away.
But this one step seed like an insurmountable chasm.
When dawn arrived.
Xuan Yunzi was the third to produce a Dustfall Pill.
As ti slowly passed, Huang Hezi and Lingzhi followed in consecutive success.
Thus, the top five winners were decided.
The remaining four, three no longer struggled and gave up directly.
Five victories, four defeats—the last four were failures, unable to contribute to their advancent in rank.
The Elder of Tai Dan Court, Ascendant Master Chi Ding, approached Dan Yangzi.
"Why bother?"
"With your heaven-sent talent, whether it be cultivation or the Dao of Alchemy, or even ruling a sect, you could reach the ultimate. Yet, you stubbornly want everything."
"The consequence is what you are now."
"In a competition of three rounds, just by making a choice, by giving up one round, you had a great chance of making it to the end."
"Still, you want everything."
"Dan Yang, can you accept today’s failure?"
Dan Yangzi remained silent.
He continued to persistently refine the elixir in the Glass Sky Mini Tripod.
Anger surfaced on Ascendant Master Chi Ding’s face.
"By inheriting your father Ascendant Master Dan Yang’s title, you were supposed to be the future peak master of Danyang Peak. Why bother struggling for power and profit?"
"Those things are, after all, of no... Huh?"
In his astonishnt,
a faint fragrance of pills wafted out.
Dan Yangzi spoke in a hoarse voice:
"Please, Elder, evaluate the Elixir Quality Tier."
This ti, Chi Ding was silent.
...
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd,
The Elder of Tai Dan Court announced the individual rankings of the second round’s three matches and finally provided the comprehensive rankings.
First, Dan Chenzi, truly deserved that spot!
Three victories, three overwhelming performances, no one had any doubts.
And the second-place finisher, to the surprise of many,
was not the consistently third-placed Xuan Yunzi, nor the twice-second and once-sixth Dan Yangzi.
It was Fu Hua, the Pill Refiner of the Fu Family!
Many were astonished, yet many found it to be expected.
"I’ve said it before, the Second Order Elixir Refinent of the third match has always been the most crucial one for determining the rankings!"
"His two fourth places in the previous matches, followed by a second place in the last, directly vaulted him to second overall."
"The Fu Family really made a wise decision!"
The mont this ranking was announced,
the Nine Great True Disciple’s Disciples each had different emotions, and their facial expressions were incomparably rich.
Tao Wen and Fu Li exchanged glances and then nodded tacitly.
Placing second and third respectively, He Yuanqing and Shangguan Yan gradually began to darken in complexion.
As expected,
as the following rankings of the second round were announced, their uneasy worries beca reality.
Third place went to Xuan Yunzi, who consistently finished in the top three.
Fourth place, Dan Yangzi.
Fifth, awarded to Huang Hezi who had one defeat, one fifth place, and one fourth place.
After this, all the rest were considered losers.
Their Great True Disciple rankings in the background were unlikely to change much.
With this, the top five rankings were bound to undergo significant changes due to their total rankings in the second round!
The next instant!
With a wave of Ascendant Master Chi Ding’s hand,
nine platforms roared to life.
So rose, and so fell!
Under the tense gaze of countless eyes, the originally first-ranked Dan Yangzi’s height began to descend slowly.
Taking his place was Tao Wen, who had risen to the first position!
At this mont, Tao Wen first!
Dan Yangzi second.
He Yuanqing third.
Fu Li fourth.
Shangguan Yan fifth!
Upon this result, Tao Wen naturally showed joy on his face.
The others, however, were not feeling so good.
"He Yun misled !" He Yuanqing’s face twisted with fury; he had hoped to enter the final round ranked first, but now he was only third.
This ant he had to battle at least three others to have a chance to win the Seed Cultivator Position.
Fu Li’s expression remained calm.
Fourth place was a very good ranking.
Though the chance of competing for the Seed Cultivator Position was slim, it proved his family’s value.
And it could also provide so assistance to his ally.
By contrast, Shangguan Yan, previously ranked third and now fallen to fifth, must be having a difficult ti!
He took an interested look in Shangguan Yan’s direction.
The latter’s face was livid, saying nothing.
But Huang Hezi left with a somber expression and a flick of his sleeve,
indicating that the relationship between the two was far from harmonious.
...
The second round ended, followed by a brief intermission.
Not for the rest of the Great True Disciples, but for the elders of Qingdan Valley to prepare the final Sword Fight Platform.
