"Yes," responded a few people nearby.
The alchemy competition continued until evening. Since the preparation of Ninth Grade elixirs took a considerable amount of time, by the time everyone finished, it was almost dark.
The elixirs were sent to the judges for inspection. Except for Wuhu who failed to produce a Ninth Grade elixir, the other four contestants successfully created their elixirs. Shayan and Green Emperor Xiahou produced Intermediate Level elixirs, while Meng He and Dugu Qianye both produced Primary Level ones, but since Dugu Qianye finished five minutes earlier than Meng He, Meng He was eliminated.
The host came up to announce the results and declared that since everyone had been practicing for the competition recently, the Alchemist Guild decided to schedule the final round for November 30. This allowed nearly ten days of rest and relaxation for the contestants.
