Wei Hanyun couldn't figure it out and thought to himself, could it be that Baili Hongzhuang never actually refined the black rock wood?
This scene also caught the attention of Chu Jiyu and the others, and they were equally surprised by Baili Hongzhuang's actions. However, the competition did not prohibit talking during the process.
For alchemists, anything could happen, and being forced to be distracted was common.
Moreover, Wei Hanyun's attempt to provoke Baili Hongzhuang earlier seemed to have no effect and instead affected his own state.
"I only said a few words, and you accuse me of being excessive. Your mentality is truly lacking," Baili Hongzhuang sighed with emotion, then withdrew her attention, showing no intention of continuing to pay attention to Wei Hanyun.
Seeing Baili Hongzhuang's actions, Wei Hanyun became even more furious. He wanted to say something more, but it seemed that saying anything would be futile.
While Wei Hanyun was contemplating how to make Baili Hongzhuang feel unhappy, a dull sound came from his furnace.
"Psh!"
Wei Hanyun's face instantly turned purple. He had fallen into Baili Hongzhuang's trap.
His thoughts were consumed with making Baili Hongzhuang feel unhappy, forgetting that refining the black rock wood was the most important thing at the moment.
"Baili Hongzhuang!" Wei Hanyun gritted his teeth.
He was so close to success in the refinement, yet he failed in this situation!
However, Baili Hongzhuang seemed completely unaffected by Wei Hanyun's angry words, as if she hadn't heard anything at all.
Baili Hongzhuang's gaze quietly fell on Liu Qinyue. She had already determined earlier that Wei Hanyun's speed was a bit faster than Liu Qinyue's.
If things continued like this, Wei Hanyun would complete the refinement of the black rock wood before Liu Qinyue.
Baili Hongzhuang couldn't help but feel a hint of doubt about Wei Hanyun's skill level in alchemy. Obviously, Wei Hanyun's alchemy level was very high, even higher than Liu Qinyue's.
For others, under such distractions, the essence of the black rock wood in the furnace would have long turned into waste. But Wei Hanyun had persisted for so long.
From Wei Hanyun's indifferent attitude towards Liu Qinyue, it was clear that his goal was to defeat her.
Beihai Academy had come prepared this time!
That's why Baili Hongzhuang had staged this act midway. Regardless of the preparations Beihai Academy had made for today's alchemy competition, as long as she was here, she wouldn't let the other side succeed!
Gu Yaoyi had placed all her hopes on Wei Hanyun, but she didn't expect him to fail at this crucial moment!
Her mentor had told her that Wei Hanyun was very skilled in alchemy, and she only needed to cooperate with him to win first place in the alchemy competition.
However, Wei Hanyun's failure at a time like this meant that time was running out!
Thinking of this, Gu Yaoyi couldn't help but panic, and the contents in her furnace turned into waste again.
Cang Hongxi's face looked extremely unsightly. He couldn't understand what was happening with Wei Hanyun and Gu Yaoyi today.
Usually, this kind of competition should pose no difficulty for them at all, but now problems kept arising, and among the three teams, they were the slowest!
"Elder Huan, Baili Hongzhuang's actions are somewhat despicable," Cang Hongxi spoke slowly, his words filled with dissatisfaction.
