In theory, Bai Jingtian and the others had no personal relationship with Huan Chuyou, so they shouldn't have helped him like this. Could it be... they simply couldn't bear to see it?
Just the thought of this made Jian Qingqiu speechless. She felt that Bai Jingtian and the others had become obsessed with their research and had no flexibility at all. They were completely stubborn.
Everyone present could see through the situation. They were all discerning individuals who understood what was really going on.
The members of the Alchemist Guild remained silent, while the members of the Inscriptionist Guild took on the role of righteous individuals. Wasn't this stirring up trouble for no reason?
Huan Chuyou didn't expect Bai Jingtian and the others, whom he had only met for the first time, to speak up for Canglan Academy. He couldn't help but feel touched.
Jian Qingqiu and Lin Yinghao exchanged glances. This was truly a dilemma. If they had known about this situation, they wouldn't have invited Bai Jingtian and the others in the first place.
If that were the case, such complications wouldn't have arisen.
Clearly, regret was useless. After a moment of contemplation, Jian Qingqiu said, "Let's take a look first."
Baili Hongzhuang's expression had already changed the moment she sensed that the pill furnace was about to explode. Before the alchemy process, she had already inspected the furnace and confirmed that there were no issues before starting the refinement.
However, she hadn't expected the other party to tamper with it so discreetly. She hadn't noticed any problems at all until this last moment.
Ordinary people wouldn't be aware of such methods, only an alchemist would know about these tricks.
Without much thought, Baili Hongzhuang knew that it was Wei Hanyun's doing.
No wonder Wei Hanyun didn't say anything after suffering a loss in the previous round. He had probably already calculated the results of this round.
With this in mind, a cold light flashed in Baili Hongzhuang's eyes. She had always been one to seek revenge. This matter would definitely not be left unresolved!
Wei Hanyun's eyes sparkled with a sense of pride. Exploding the furnace was a very dangerous act. If Baili Hongzhuang didn't retreat immediately, the aftermath of the explosion could seriously injure her.
However, once Baili Hongzhuang retreated, her pill would turn to ashes!
Boom!
An explosion sounded, and Baili Hongzhuang swiftly moved away. Li Qingyue and the others also stepped back, avoiding the force of the explosion.
Li Qingyue's face looked extremely unsightly. This situation had exceeded everyone's expectations. Baili Hongzhuang's refined pill was completely ruined.
In the end, they lost this alchemy competition.
Wei Hanyun's smile grew even more radiant and arrogant. "Baili Hongzhuang, no matter how extraordinary you claim to be, you still failed in refining the pill. Cultivators should focus on cultivation, and as for the matters of alchemists, you shouldn't meddle!"
Chu Jiyu and the others sighed. This was indeed the result.
Wei Hanyun held his head high. He would be the first place winner of this alchemy competition, and his reputation would spread far and wide!
Baili Hongzhuang was nothing more than a stepping stone for him!
The faces of Xia Zhiqing and the others changed one after another. It actually exploded. It seemed that such a situation had never occurred in previous alchemy competitions.
"Damn it! I bet the pill furnace that Hongzhuang used has definitely been tampered with by this Wei Hanyun!" Bai Junyu's eyes burned with angry flames.
"I knew this guy was no good from the moment I laid eyes on him!"
