When Gu Niansheng walked out of the room, she noticed that Jiang Cheng and Shi Lin were already waiting for her. When they saw her coming out, they both had happy smiles on their faces.
"Sister-in-law, you spent the whole night in retreat last night. Are you feeling well today?"
Wei Shilin's expression showed concern. Logically speaking, he should have a good rest the night before the alchemy competition in order to maintain his best condition.
However, my sister-in-law has been in seclusion since last night.
The strange thing was that they were refining elixirs in seclusion, but they didn't smell any familiar elixir fragrance, and they didn't know what the sister-in-law was doing.
Gu Niansheng smiled slightly and said, "I'm in good condition, don't worry."
"By the way, Shi Lin, where were you yesterday?"
Gu Niansheng looked at Wei Shilin curiously. He didn't know anyone in Linyao City, and he didn't like to wander around like Jiang Cheng. He was the only one out yesterday, which was a bit surprising.
"It's okay, just casually strolling around." Wei Shilin waved his hand, a complicated light flashed in the depths of his dark eyes, but his expression was as if nothing had happened.
Gu Niansheng didn't ask any more questions, just a few words of concern.
Yu Xianchi hadn't come back yet, which made Gu Niansheng feel a little helpless and worried about whether he was in danger.
Because he had said before that he would accompany her to participate in the alchemy competition, and he has always been a person who keeps his promises. Unless there are special circumstances, he will usually not break his promise.
When Gu Niansheng and his party arrived at the location of the alchemy competition, they found that the place was already crowded with people watching.
Because the alchemists participating in the Alchemist Competition come from various cities, there is no such a large venue for the Alchemist Guild assessment, so every Alchemist Competition is held in a specially prepared venue.
This is a huge square, and the high platform in the middle is enough to accommodate hundreds of alchemists making alchemy together.
The entire high platform is circular, and the surrounding stands are also circular in circles, getting higher and higher as they go outwards. This allows everyone present to see clearly how the alchemist is refining the elixir.
And with so many people gathered here, even if someone wants to cheat on this high platform, they will be discovered in an instant.
"This battle is really big enough." Jiang Cheng sighed with emotion, "I am afraid that the Alchemist Competition held in the Imperial City is not on such a large scale."
"Linyao City has a special location. Among the many cities in the Great Xia Dynasty, it is second only to the Imperial City. In addition, every alchemist competition is held here, so it is appropriate to have such a scale."
Gu Niansheng smiled slightly, and suddenly noticed Master Hongshen, Master Yunqing, and Master Xuanming sitting there in front of the circular high platform, serving as today's referees.
A group of young alchemists also gathered behind them, including many familiar people.
At this time, a figure seemed to have noticed her presence and waved to her happily.
It's Luying.
Jiang Cheng also noticed this, and after confirming again and again that the person Lu Ying waved to was indeed his sister-in-law, the doubt in his eyes became more and more intense.
"Sister-in-law, wasn't this girl unhappy with you before? Why did she suddenly change her gender?"
Gu Niansheng's lips curled up slightly and she glanced at Wei Shilin meaningfully, "It's because Shilin is so charming."
After hearing this, Jiang Cheng and Wei Shilin were a little confused, but they soon understood the deeper meaning.
