Despite being occupied with hosting the Pill Dao Grand Competition, Hu Zhenyu had already sent all of Mo Wuji's information back to the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance headquarters, requesting that the headquarters investigate this person's background as quickly as possible.

With Hu Zhenyu's discerning eyes, how could he not see that Mo Wuji would definitely become a Pill Emperor in the future, as long as he didn't perish?

The Pill Dao Immortal Alliance lacked fresh blood. How could he, Hu Zhenyu, let such a Pill Emperor go after seeing him?

...

After the rankings displayed twenty or thirty names, Mo Wuji's heart gradually settled down. He discovered that the displayed alchemists, despite many refining Grade 6 Immortal Pills, had a truly tragic pill formation rate.

Generally, they produced medium and low-grade pills, and not to mention full pill production, even a third of the pills were rare. Extremely few alchemists who wanted to refine more difficult Grade 6 Immortal Pills could only obtain two or three low-grade pills.

Mo Wuji quickly understood the reason. It wasn't that these alchemists were really incompetent, but that the flames were inadequate.

The flames here restricted the alchemists' performance. They could have produced six pills, but due to the flame limitations, they could only produce one or two pills, and the quality was not flattering.

Mo Wuji thought to himself, this Pill Dao Grand Competition indeed gave him a natural advantage. He wasn't picky about flames. Good flames allowed him to form pills faster and with better quality. He could also refine pills with bad flames. Although there was some impact, it wouldn't be as bad as other alchemists, who would eventually fail.

Mo Wuji hardly recognized the names of the alchemists on the array display screen. He didn't want to know who these people were. He only hoped that his name would appear within the top fifty. As long as he was within the top fifty, he would be successful.

The ranking on the display array quickly reached fifty-first place. Participating Immortal City: Middle Immortal City, Scarlet Emperor Immortal City. Participating alchemist: Fei Gao. Refining pill: Grade 6 Immortal Pill, Immortal Rain Pill. Pill formation: Eight pills, four superior-grade, four medium-grade. Score: Seventy-one point three one five.

The fifty-first place wasn't his name yet, and Mo Wuji's heart was completely at ease. He knew that he was definitely in the top fifty.

Even if the first and second rounds were ranked fiftyth, he was undoubtedly in the top fifty.

Mo Wuji was familiar with this Fei Gao. In the first round, this guy got a good sixth-place ranking. He didn't expect that while this guy was good at extracting medicinal liquids, he was so much worse when it came to refining pills. Don't think that this guy got sixth place in the first round, because he didn't make it into the top fifty in this round, and his final score would make it difficult for him to enter the top fifty.

In the first round of extracting medicinal liquids, everyone's score difference was extremely small. Even the difference between sixth and one hundredth place was only a little over one point.

It was also because everyone's scores were very small in the first round that Mo Wuji, who got first place in the first round, couldn't guarantee that he could enter the top fifty.

In fact, according to this competition system and scoring system, generally speaking, the top fifty in the second round were basically the top fifty in the overall score.

At this moment, the fiftieth place was also revealed. Participating Immortal City: Upper Immortal City, Puluo Immortal City. Participating alchemist: Wen Chengbu. Refining pill: Grade 6 Immortal Pill, Sword Qi Rift Domain Pill. Pill formation: Six pills, five superior-grade, one medium-grade. Score: Seventy-three point five two one.

As soon as this score came out, Mo Wuji knew that Fei Gao, who got sixth place in the first round, was eliminated. Wen Chengbu's score in the first round was still on the side display screen, ninety-one point four six one. Although Wen Chengbu didn't enter the top fifty in the first round, he still surpassed Fei Gao in the overall score.

Wen Chengbu even got seventy-three points, so it was even more difficult for Fei Gao to catch up in the subsequent rankings.

Sure enough, the score of the forty-ninth place exceeded seventy-five points. When Fei Gao saw this score, he sighed, lowered his head, and sat down. He was only a little short of entering the top fifty, and that little bit was insurmountable.

After learning that he was definitely in the top fifty, Mo Wuji didn't care anymore. He also sat down and began to rest with his eyes closed. At the same time, he was considering how to leave the Yongying Immortal Domain after entering the Immortal Cloud Immortal Valley and obtaining the Underworld Heart Divine Flower.

...

After the fiftieth place came out, and Mo Wuji's name hadn't been seen yet, Wen Hou, the City Lord of Yingshui Immortal City, couldn't help but stand up excitedly.

Since becoming the City Lord of Yingshui Immortal City, he had never imagined that Yingshui Immortal City could one day be promoted to a Middle Immortal City. And now Yingshui Immortal City was definitely promoted to a Middle Immortal City, what was missing was just the end of this second round ranking display.

"Husband..." Yan Qianling grabbed Wen Hou's hand and asked him to sit down.

She was the only one who could best understand her husband's mood. From the beginning of the Yongying Immortal Domain Pill Dao Grand Competition, Wen Hou's heart was like being fried in oil. He knew better than anyone what the consequences would be if Yingshui Immortal City failed in the Pill Dao Grand Competition and was reduced to an affiliated Immortal City.

Therefore, after the Pill Dao Grand Competition was announced, he searched everywhere for alchemists to participate. The reason why his daughter Lian Xi ran to Yongying Corner to look for participating alchemists was also because she knew her father's anxiety. Unfortunately, apart from his old friend Tan Liang, Yingshui Immortal City couldn't find a decent alchemist at all.

Some things were really "intentional planting of flowers does not bloom, unintentional planting of willows yields shade." Just when Wen Hou gave up on the Pill Dao Grand Competition, his daughter brought such an amazing alchemist to Yingshui Immortal City, who not only won first place in the first round but also was guaranteed to be in the top fifty in the second round.

With this result, Yingshui Immortal City was no longer considering whether it would be reduced to an affiliated Immortal City. As the City Lord of Yingshui Immortal City, Wen Hou was now considering the tedious matters after Yingshui Immortal City was promoted to a Middle Immortal City.

If the Wen Hou family was not the only one excited in the square, then the other person who was excited was naturally Ling Gu.

The reason why Ling Gu invited Mo Wuji was firstly because she simply didn't know a more powerful Pill King. Secondly, she knew that Mo Wuji was a Grade 4 Venerable Pill King.

Now, the two rounds of competition have not yet ended, and Ling Gu knew that she had not made the wrong choice. Mo Wuji was unexpectedly someone even Pill Emperors couldn't defeat in the first round. Such an amazing existence might really be able to restore her mother to health.

...

Mo Wuji didn't care about the ranking display array, but other cultivators were staring closely at the array display screen. At this time, everyone wanted to know how Mo Wuji ranked in the second round.

Mo Wuji refined a Grade 5 Immortal Pill in the second round. Although it was one of the most precious pills among the Grade 5 Immortal Pills, the Immortal Cleansing Grand Essence Pill, Grade 5 was still Grade 5, and there was an essential difference from Grade 6 Immortal Pills. If a Grade 5 Immortal Pill could get a top ranking, it would make people even more suspicious whether Mo Wuji's results were real.

The ranking on the array display screen quickly reached sixth place. Participating Immortal City: Upper Immortal City, Pingyi Immortal City. Participating alchemist: Liu Tiao. Refining pill: Grade 6 Immortal Pill, Huangyu Pill. Pill formation: Eleven pills, ten superior-grade, one medium-grade. Score: Eighty-seven point seven six two.

Fifth place: Participating Immortal City: Lower Immortal City, Yingshui Immortal City. Participating alchemist: Mo Xinghe. Refining pill: Grade 5 Immortal Pill, Immortal Cleansing Grand Essence Pill. Full pill formation, twelve special-grade, score, ninety point zero zero zero.

When this ranking came out, the crowd was even more uproar. This time, no one felt it was fake, because the refined pills were here, and this couldn't be faked at all. If there were any questions, the pills would be taken out for everyone to see immediately. Moreover, some insiders also knew that after the second round of competition was over and the total score was calculated, the restrictions on the pills refined by the top fifty would be removed, allowing people to view them with their spiritual sense at will.

In this second round of the Pill Dao Grand Competition, a Grade 5 Immortal Pill got ninety points, which was the limit. In other words, as long as you refined a Grade 5 Immortal Pill, you could only get a maximum of ninety points. Mo Wuji got all the points that the Immortal Cleansing Grand Essence Pill could get, which was more than just amazing?

...

"Congratulations, Brother Wen Hou. In the future, you will also be a member of our Upper Immortal Cities. Feel free to visit my Luyun Immortal City when you have time." As soon as Mo Wuji's score came out, the City Lord of Luyun Immortal City took the initiative to greet Wen Hou, the City Lord of Yingshui Immortal City.

Mo Wuji, this amazing alchemist, was unexpectedly related to Yingshui Immortal City. Not to mention that Yingshui Immortal City would become an Upper Immortal City in the future, even if it wasn't an Upper Immortal City, he would still try to build a relationship with Mo Wuji through Wen Hou.

After Luyun Immortal City, the City Lords of the major Upper Immortal Cities and Middle Immortal Cities came over to greet Wen Hou with smiles on their faces. Their expressions and tone were extremely polite.

Unlike the simple greetings before, after Mo Wuji was guaranteed to enter the top five, the enthusiasm of those City Lords was as if everyone had been old friends for many years.

Although Wen Hou was full of smiles, he was still dizzy. When had he, a City Lord of Yingshui Immortal City, ever enjoyed this kind of treatment?

In the past, he was fortunate to participate in one or two gatherings of the City Lords of the major Immortal Cities in Yongying Immortal Domain. Don't think that he was a City Lord in Yingshui Immortal City; at those Immortal City City Lord gatherings, he could only shrink in the corner. Occasionally, he would say a few words with a smile on his face, but people would only half-acknowledge him. Now it was different. The City Lords of the Upper Immortal Cities took the initiative to step forward and greet him politely, while the City Lords of the Middle Immortal Cities and Lower Immortal Cities even came to chat with a humble attitude.

Awakening from the great happiness and respect, Wen Hou understood even more that all this was not earned by himself, but brought by the alchemist on the competition stage who was too young to be believed.

...

The ranking display array showed the fourth place, Participating Immortal City, Upper Immortal City, Baiding Immortal City. Participating alchemist, Kuang Zhiyao. Refining pill, Grade 6 Immortal Pill, Lanxu Purple Pill. Full pill formation, one special-grade, nine superior-grade, two medium-grade. Score, ninety-one point five four nine.

The Lanxu Purple Pill was considered a very difficult Grade 6 Immortal Pill to refine. It was a very remarkable achievement for Kuang Zhiyao to refine the Lanxu Purple Pill with a full pill formation. Getting a score of 91.549 was considered very fair.

Third place: Participating Immortal City, Middle Immortal City, Shengli Immortal City. Participating alchemist, Wu Yunsheng. Refining pill, Grade 6 Immortal Pill, Ice Soul Sky Dust Pill. Full pill formation, three special-grade, nine superior-grade. Score, ninety-three point three two two.

Second place: Participating Immortal City, Upper Immortal City, Lujie Immortal City. Participating alchemist, Heng Jun. Refining pill, Grade 6 Immortal Pill, Huangyu Pill. Full pill formation, nine special-grade, three superior-grade. Score, ninety-five point four one three.

First place: Participating Immortal City, Upper Immortal City, Jiuguang Immortal City. Participating alchemist, Gongyang Xue. Refining pill, Grade 6 Immortal Pill, Nine Turns Spirit Shocking Pill. Full pill formation, six special-grade, six superior-grade. Score, ninety-seven point three three nine.
