Not only Wei Hanyun, but Ye Ruyu and the others were also completely stunned.
"The fragrance... Isn't it the scent emitted by the essence of Black Rockwood?"
"Are you kidding me!"
Baili Hongzhuang really refined the Black Rockwood before?
How could she be so distracted and still succeed in refining it? Is she just playing with them?
However, Baili Hongzhuang's actions made them realize that they had truly overlooked a crucial opponent.
Baili Hongzhuang directly put the essence of the Black Rockwood into a container and looked at Wei Hanyun and the others with a graceful smile.
In fact, due to having refined the Black Rockwood many times before, she was extremely familiar with it.
The brief distraction had no impact on her at all because she was already familiar enough and knew exactly when to pay attention.
A faint smile appeared on Liusuqing's face. Everyone saw her as the opponent, unaware of Baili Hongzhuang's equally exquisite alchemy skills.
Once again, Canglan Academy took the first place in this round of assessment, which must have infuriated the alchemists from Lingyin Academy and Beihai Academy.
Compared to others, Baili Hongzhuang's mood was quite good.
Baili Hongzhuang's previous actions were meant to help Liusuqing. However, her mentor had already warned her before the competition began that the opponents might create obstacles for her, so she should be careful.
However, Wei Hanyun's actions were still unexpected and caught them off guard.
Fortunately, everyone underestimated Baili Hongzhuang, so she effortlessly finished refining first.
Speaking of Baili Hongzhuang, Liusuqing couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.
She had never competed with Baili Hongzhuang in alchemy before, but based on what she had seen just now, she felt that Baili Hongzhuang's alchemy skills were probably better than hers.
Because in the process of refining, she would never be as distracted as Baili Hongzhuang, revealing the difference between them.
When Bai Jingtian and the others arrived at Lingyin Academy, they witnessed Baili Hongzhuang's completion of the refining process. The three of them exchanged a glance, feeling that something was not right.
"Baili Hongzhuang is a cultivator, right? Today, Lingyin Academy is hosting an alchemy competition. Why did Baili Hongzhuang run up there to join the fun?"
Bai Jingtian looked puzzled. They were still thinking about where to find Baili Hongzhuang, but unexpectedly, they saw her on the high platform as soon as they arrived.
Ji Yunmo's eyes also flickered with confusion and puzzlement. "I don't know. This girl shouldn't be an alchemist, right?"
When Ji Yunmo mentioned this idea, he immediately denied it himself. "What am I thinking! Baili Hongzhuang is clearly a runecaster!"
"Since she's up there, let's wait for a while. I believe she will come down soon."
Finding Baili Hongzhuang, Qin Qingwu also breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Baili Hongzhuang hadn't left the imperial city, he would be relieved.
Chu Jiyu examined Baili Hongzhuang's refining results and announced that Baili Hongzhuang had passed directly.
Upon hearing this news, the faces of Ye Ruyu and the others turned ugly. They never expected that Baili Hongzhuang had been pretending to be weak all along!
At this point, they no longer doubted Baili Hongzhuang's strength.
It was impossible to complete the refinement of the Black Rockwood without a certain level of skill. However, Baili Hongzhuang was a bit too abnormal. Not only was she a cultivator, but she had also mastered alchemy to such a degree...
