Five appraising alchemists, including Alchemist Ming Ning, moved between the three hundred medicinal platforms, scoring the True God Flowers nurtured by each alchemist.

Among those who could participate in the Five Elements Wasteland Domain Alchemy Competition and make it into the top three hundred, almost none were weak. There were practically no True God Flowers that hadn't sprouted among the three hundred platforms, not to mention those that hadn't sprouted; even those like Mo Wuji, who had only nurtured their True God Flower to a height of ten centimeters, were extremely rare.

Approximately an hour later, the five alchemists returned to the circular platform and sat down again. Alchemist Ming Ning stood alone in the very center of the circular platform.

Everyone knew that the appraisal results were out, and they held their breath, preparing to hear the selection results that Alchemist Ming Ning was about to announce.

Alchemist Ming Ning nodded to the numerous alchemists before speaking in a clear voice, "The results of the second round of the Alchemy Competition are out. Based on the cumulative scores of our two rounds, the alchemists who have made it into the top one hundred and fifty are numbers 81, 711, 1021, 98, 34…"

Even knowing that he was eliminated, Mo Wuji still counted the numbers Alchemist Ming Ning announced, holding onto a sliver of hope.

Not just Mo Wuji, but all the alchemists were like Mo Wuji, hoping to hear their number called.

"113, 632, 2…"

Alchemist Ming Ning finally finished announcing one hundred and fifty numbers. Mo Wuji's face was filled with disappointment. One hundred and fifty numbers should take a while to announce, so why did it feel like they were announced so quickly?

"Congratulations to the alchemists who passed the first two rounds of the Alchemy Competition. At the same time, please may the alchemists whose numbers were not called leave the competition venue, as we are about to begin the third round of the Alchemy Competition," Alchemist Ming Ning's voice was exceptionally clear, reaching the ears of every alchemist.

"This is unfair, esteemed alchemist seniors. I know that what I am about to say is too arrogant. But I am not saying this because I was eliminated. It's because the second round of judging was not fair at all." A sudden voice interrupted the silence on the plaza.

Everyone turned their attention to the person who spoke. It was a young-looking alchemist, and his face was full of injustice and dissatisfaction.

No one dared to question the five Rank 6 Earth Alchemists who were participating in the judging in such an Alchemy Competition setting, because the judgment of these six Earth Alchemists would definitely be correct, and they would not be mistaken.

But now someone had stood up to question them. Could there really be an injustice? If there really was an injustice, then even if the Asking Heaven Learning Academy had high prestige, this Five Elements Wasteland Domain Alchemy Competition plaza would instantly be thrown into chaos. The Five Elements Alchemy Competition, jointly established by many forces, would be completely over and could never continue.

Mo Wuji was also shocked as he looked at Qu Feiyang. He never expected that Qu Feiyang would be so bold as to say something unfair at this time? Did this guy think that he was definitely going to pass the second round of the competition? He was already about to leave the Alchemy Competition venue when he paused because of the unfairness that Qu Feiyang pointed out.

As soon as his steps stopped, Mo Wuji felt like he had overlooked something.

Before Mo Wuji could think about what he had overlooked, Alchemist Ming Ning said coldly, "Are you questioning the level of us five Rank 6 Earth Alchemists and the fairness of the Asking Heaven Learning Academy?"

Qu Feiyang seemed to have decided to go all out. He took a step forward, cupped his fist and said, "I dare not. It's just that I am very clear about number 632. He was one of the last few to finish the first round of the competition, but later he entered the top three hundred. Because I don't know about the purity of the medicine he extracted in the first round, I didn't dare to speak. In the second round of the competition, the True God Flower he nurtured was arguably one of the worst among the three hundred alchemists. Yes, that True God Flower that was only a palm-width wide was nurtured by him. And yet, such an alchemist made it into the top one hundred and fifty. I would like to ask, where is the fairness?"

As soon as Qu Feiyang said this, the entire plaza was in an uproar. Qu Feiyang spoke with reason and evidence, so he definitely wouldn't be talking nonsense. If Qu Feiyang wasn't talking nonsense, then the only possibility was that it was really unfair. The crowd slowly surged, even tending towards a riot.

"Everyone on the Five Elements Alchemy Competition plaza, maintain silence. Ming Ning will explain the right and wrong." A deep voice filled with murderous intent descended from the sky, this voice almost landed on everyone's heart, causing those somewhat restless feet to instantly quiet down.

Mo Wuji was also startled by this voice, and his mind became completely clear. He finally understood what he had overlooked. He had only focused on counting whether one hundred and fifty spots had been announced, but he had overlooked that he himself was number 632. In fact, 632 had already been announced, but he hadn't noticed 632, which was actually his name.

A sense of belated excitement filled Mo Wuji's whole body. As for Qu Feiyang's words, he ignored them directly. Even if the five great alchemists had made a mistake in their selection, it wouldn't be pointed out by Qu Feiyang. If that was the case, then the future prestige of the Five Elements Alchemy Competition would definitely decline. No wonder Qu Feiyang would point out the unfairness, this guy couldn't wait to kill him immediately. Now that he had passed and this guy hadn't, he must be a mix of shock and jealousy.

Alchemist Ming Ning gave Qu Feiyang a cold stare before saying in a loud voice, "Fellow cultivators and all participating alchemists, even if no one had brought up the matter of alchemist 632, I would have spoken about it later. In fact, I have been paying attention to alchemist 632 for a long time. The first time, when refining the Iron Heart Bodhi Fruit, his speed was the slowest. Within the specified time, using only Scarlet Flame Stone Fire, the purity of the Iron Heart Bodhi Fruit he refined reached 71%, ranking in the top ten.

This achievement is very remarkable for ordinary Rank 4 Earth Alchemists, and even more remarkable for him. Do you know why I say that? Because he is only a cultivator in the Meridian Opening Realm. A cultivator in the Meridian Opening Realm being able to become a Rank 3 Human Alchemist is already a miracle, but he not only became a Rank 3 Human Alchemist, but also refined Rank 4 Iron Heart Bodhi Fruit using Scarlet Flame Stone Fire."

Alchemist Ming Ning's words caused a wave of discussion among the crowd, and they obviously felt that what Alchemist Ming Ning said was somewhat outrageous.

"Perhaps some of you feel that what I am saying is somewhat outrageous, but if anyone knows how he obtained this result, they wouldn't say that. I will tell you all, he stir-fried it by hand. For an alchemist, unless they are completely crippled, it is worth it to stir-fry their way into the top ten in such a competition.

Let's not even talk about the fact that the ten fingers are connected to the heart, and what kind of heartbreaking pain it is to put your hands in Scarlet Flame Stone Fire and burn them, and what kind of perseverance it takes to persevere. Let's just talk about alchemy common sense. All alchemists know how much damage this kind of hand-stirring medicine does to the hands. Once the hands suffer irreversible consequences, then his alchemy career will be completely over. I believe that a Rank 3 Human Alchemist does not have that kind of supreme recovery elixir."

By the time Alchemist Ming Ning said this, the plaza had once again fallen silent. There were many alchemists present, and not to mention that they were not sure what results they could obtain if they stir-fried medicine by hand. Even if they knew that they could pass the selection, it was estimated that no one would be willing to do it.

First, as Alchemist Ming Ning said, it was not worth it. In case of permanent damage to the hands, not only would the alchemy career be over, but the cultivation career would also be completely over. Second, even if they passed, this was only the first round, and there was no guarantee that they could definitely enter the top one hundred later.

Alchemist Ming Ning continued in a deep voice, "This is not even what I admire most about this alchemist. What I admire most about him is that after the refinement of the medicinal liquid, he endured the burns on his hands and forcibly did not take any medicinal pills. At first, I didn't understand what was going on, but after putting away the medicinal liquid, I understood. He probably didn't understand the rules of the competition very well, and he was afraid that taking medicinal pills during the competition would be against the rules, so he forcibly endured it and didn't take any medicinal pills.

This is an alchemist who is devout to the Five Elements Alchemy Competition. His devotion and desire for the Five Elements Alchemy Competition exceeds everyone here. In order to obtain a ranking, he even risked being ruined."

Qu Wan'er, who was far away, sighed secretly in her heart as she looked at Mo Wuji. This person was indeed as desperate as ever. Others might have doubts about Alchemist Ming Ning's words, but she absolutely believed them. She had personally seen Mo Wuji's desperation. He was almost dying from being struck by lightning, but he still couldn't stop his footsteps as he rushed up to fight the Thunder Crocodile.

Alchemist Ming Ning paused here deliberately. She focused her disdainful gaze on Alchemist Qu, "But these things only make me admire him. As an appraising alchemist, I will definitely not give him points to take care of him. But I can definitely tell you that if I had known earlier that there was an alchemist who was so devout and eager for the Five Elements Alchemy Competition, and whose cultivation was so low, I would have proposed changing the questions to be less demanding on cultivation.

There is no if. This second round of the competition is about nurturing True God Flower seeds. This round of the competition, in addition to requiring a high understanding of spiritual herbs, requires even higher cultivation. Among the three hundred participating alchemists, one hundred and sixty-three alchemists chose wood-attribute True God Flowers. Ninety alchemists chose fire-attribute True God Flowers. And forty-six alchemists chose earth, water, and metal-attribute True God Flower seeds."

Alchemist Ming Ning's gaze swept across everyone on the plaza, and her tone became increasingly elevated, "Among the three hundred alchemists, except for one person, no second person chose a different-attribute True God Flower. I can understand this, because different-attribute alchemists are rare and hard to find. In addition to this, I also want to tell everyone another reason. The difficulty of nurturing different-attribute True God Flowers is several times higher than the difficulty of nurturing Five Elements-attribute True God Flowers…"

At this moment, everyone on the plaza focused their attention on that group of alchemists. No one knew who number 632 was, but everyone knew that Alchemist Ming Ning was definitely talking about number 632, and number 632 was definitely among this group of alchemists.

Seeing the gazes of the crowd, Alchemist Ming Ning softened her tone a little, "You guessed correctly, the alchemist who chose a different-attribute True God Flower seed is number 632. The lightning-attribute True God Flower he nurtured is already a palm-width wide, and although its score cannot be considered the best here, it is definitely among the top ten."

Alchemist Ming Ning once again fixed her gaze on Qu Feiyang and asked in a stern voice, "Do you still think that we few judges are cheating and that the Five Elements Alchemy Competition is unfair?"

"I, I… I didn't understand…" Qu Feiyang's mind completely regained its composure. The flames of jealousy towards Mo Wuji's selection had long disappeared, and now there was only deep fear. He hated Mo Wuji, who had caused him to lose his mind and impulsively stand out at that moment.

"If everyone questioned our Five Elements Alchemy Competition like you, then the Five Elements Alchemy Competition wouldn't need to continue…"

Alchemist Ming Ning's voice was somewhat icy. After Alchemist Ming Ning's voice fell, a huge fist shadow suddenly descended from the sky.

"Bang!" This fist shadow landed on Qu Feiyang, and Qu Feiyang didn't even have a chance to beg for mercy before he was blasted into pieces.
