The three contract beasts continued to take care of Lan Yunxiao and Mu Lingbing as they always did. During this time, with their cute and adorable behavior, Lan Yunxiao and Mu Lingbing grew even fonder of them.
Mu Lingbing felt that having these three lively contract beasts by Bai Li Hongzhuang's side when they were not around was a wonderful thing. Honestly, with these lively little companions, it was difficult to feel lonely.
"Baishi, what has Hongzhuang been busy with these days? I hardly see her around," Mu Lingbing asked while gently stroking Baishi's head, her voice filled with warmth and concern.
"She's been practicing alchemy diligently because the Alchemist Grand Competition is about to take place," Baishi squinted its eyes, seemingly enjoying Mu Lingbing's touch.
"Besides medical skills, does Hongzhuang also know alchemy?" Mu Lingbing's eyes flashed with surprise. She had no idea about this before.
Baishi raised its head proudly, "Master is capable of everything, and her alchemy skills are outstanding."
Seeing Baishi's proud look, a smile also appeared in Lan Yunxiao's eyes. Since recognizing Hongzhuang as his daughter, her excellence had completely exceeded his expectations.
Hongzhuang, at such a young age, possessed medical skills comparable to Yue Siqing. That in itself was already incredible.
Never would he have thought that Hongzhuang had also dabbled in alchemy. She truly had broad interests, just as befitting his daughter, Hongzhuang!
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day before the Alchemist Grand Competition was set to begin.
The alchemists from the Medicine Sect arrived a day in advance at the Tian Gang Sect to ensure they would be in the best condition for the competition.
The disciples of the Tian Gang Sect had already learned about the Alchemist Grand Competition, and their hearts were filled with disdain toward the alchemists from the Medicine Sect.
"These people from the Medicine Sect are truly shameless. They resort to such despicable means and yet maintain an air of righteousness. It's truly nauseating!"
"I used to have a decent impression of the Medicine Sect, but now I have no good impression at all. They are simply detestable!"
"Just look at their postures while walking. Each one of them acts as if they're superior just because they're alchemists."
The disciples of the Tian Gang Sect glared at the disciples from the Medicine Sect, discontentment evident in their eyes. However, due to their reputation, they had to welcome the alchemists from the Medicine Sect, albeit reluctantly.
Bai Li Hongzhuang, Xia Zhiqing, and the others stood together, observing the alchemists from the Medicine Sect.
There were quite a few alchemists from the Medicine Sect, with over ten disciples and two elders. They were dressed in the Medicine Sect's uniform robes and exuded an inherent arrogance. Even when they looked at others, there was a hint of condescension.
"Hongzhuang, why do the alchemists from the Medicine Sect seem so detestable? They act as if they're superior," Xia Zhiqing frowned. She already didn't have a good impression of the alchemists from the Medicine Sect, and now seeing them like this only intensified her aversion.
"Alchemy masters hold a prestigious status, and they naturally possess a sense of superiority. Our sect's alchemists are also quite arrogant. It's just that you didn't feel it because they are our fellow disciples," Bai Li Hongzhuang explained. She had come into contact with some alchemists and most of them were inherently proud, considering themselves superior just because they were alchemists.
She had grown accustomed to it, but the alchemists from the Medicine Sect added a hint of provocation to their arrogance.
