"Chi!"
At the same time, a faint sound echoed, and the situation in Liu Qinyue's furnace turned into nothingness.
Hearing this sound, a smile appeared on Wei Hanyun's lips, but his expression turned disdainful when he looked at Gu Yaoyi.
Feeling Wei Hanyun's gaze, Gu Yaoyi's face turned ugly. Earlier, when she failed, Wei Hanyun had told her to sabotage Liu Qinyue's refinement, but she had been too afraid to do so.
Never did she expect that Wei Hanyun would directly deal with Liu Qinyue. With this, their pressure was considerably reduced.
"Worthless," Wei Hanyun coldly muttered before continuing to refine the black rock wood.
Standing next to Baili Hongzhuang once again, Wei Hanyun's eyes revealed a sense of satisfaction. He didn't affect Baili Hongzhuang, but he wanted to see how long she could continue her charade.
Once the time was up, if Baili Hongzhuang still hadn't refined anything, she would become a huge joke.
"Baili Hongzhuang, no matter what you do, Canglan Academy will be at the bottom this time."
Baili Hongzhuang's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, her calm expression unchanged in the face of Wei Hanyun's words.
"Even so, your speed is not necessarily faster than Liu Qinyue's."
Liu Qinyue's face looked unpleasant, but she quickly resumed her refinement. Regardless of her ranking in this second assessment, she couldn't be eliminated no matter what!
Yue Ruyu felt a wave of joy in his heart. He was the first one to fail, but now he had become the fastest among everyone. Truly, misfortune might be a blessing in disguise!
As for Baili Hongzhuang?
He had long ignored her.
Because she couldn't possibly win.
After noticing the expressions of Wei Hanyun and the others, Baili Hongzhuang also felt a hint of helplessness. Was she being underestimated?
She was already close to completing the refinement of the black rock wood. These people who had been plotting seemed to have completely overlooked her presence.
Wei Hanyun and the others found it amusing to see Baili Hongzhuang continuing to pretend to refine the black rock wood. They didn't expect her to be such a skilled pretender.
"These idiots actually ignored Hongzhuang. They'll regret it later."
Although the failure of Liu Qinyue's refinement made everyone feel regretful, Xia Zhiqing believed that Baili Hongzhuang would definitely succeed.
"They made a common mistake, but Hongzhuang is truly amazing. She hasn't failed even in this situation."
Zhan Yunfeng's eyes were filled with astonishment. She saw that other alchemists failed due to momentary distraction.
Among the alchemists present, Baili Hongzhuang was the most distracted, but she hadn't encountered any problems until now.
As these words were spoken, Liu Qinyue and Zhan Yunfeng exchanged a glance. "Could it be that Hongzhuang really hasn't refined anything?"
The expressions of the crowd changed, and it didn't seem entirely impossible...
Upon seeing Wei Hanyun's actions, Cang Hongxi's eyes also revealed a hint of amusement. As long as Liu Qinyue's progress was affected, their goal would be achieved.
Wei Hanyun saw that Baili Hongzhuang continued to maintain her previous actions unchanged, and a cold smile appeared on his face. He wanted to see how long Baili Hongzhuang could keep up the pretense!
However, at that moment, a faint fragrance emanated from Baili Hongzhuang's furnace.
Smelling the aroma of the medicinal herb, Wei Hanyun's eyes widened, and his expression turned as if he had seen a ghost...
