Qin Yi has become the well-deserved first with the absolute advantage of consecutive first place.
As for Guozhong, although he was in second place this time, he basically never defeated Xu Qing before, and even had a slight advantage in the second round. So, this time he and Xu Qing tied for second place.
Obviously, such a result is unacceptable to both Guozhong and Xu Qing.
Neither of them complained about losing to Qin Yi. However, they always felt a little uncomfortable about the fact that they were tied with their opponent.
To be honest, Qin Yi thinks that this result is quite reasonable.
After all, Guozhong had studied alchemy with Duanmucheng for many years, so he could be regarded as inheriting Duanmucheng's mantle.
His alchemy attainments were far from reflected in this competition.
In fact, the fact that he will be tied for second place with Xu Qing instead of suppressing Xu Qing has something to do with his own character.
On weekdays, you can see that he is a very laid-back person. He would seize the opportunity and just want to be lazy.
This is not a big problem, after all, he is still very measured in doing things. He will definitely complete what should be done. On this basis, it is understandable to take more rest.
However, such a personality will inevitably cause certain changes in his behavior. He was originally very cautious, but because of his loose personality, he completed things slower.
Although there is not much harm in this style of acting, once he is placed in a competition with certain time restrictions, this style will affect his results to a certain extent.
If time is not considered, Xu Qing will definitely not be his opponent.
However, I have to say that Xu Qing's attainments in alchemy really surprised Qin Yi this time.
Because, like Qin Yi, she is also a genius in martial arts. People who can master both Dan and Wu not only need to have a very high talent threshold for both, but also need to spend more time and energy.
Xu Qing's alchemy talent is probably greater than Guozhong's. However, she is still not as good as Guozhong, who has so much time to practice alchemy. What's more, her current age is even lower than Guozhong's.
Therefore, no matter how unconvinced the two of them were, Qin Yi felt that this outcome was the best.
"As the first place, Qin Yi, your reward will be sent to the academy in a few days."
Duanmucheng looked at Qin Yi with a faint smile and said with relief.
"This time the alchemy test has been completely completed so far."
Although Guozhong's results did not meet his expectations, overall, he was quite satisfied with this Dan Dao assessment.
"Huangfu Ming, I am really looking forward to the Alchemy Examination in the next hundred years. Haha!"
Before leaving, Duanmucheng did not forget to take a dig at Huangfu Ming. If he was very happy that Qin Yi won the first place this time, then he was overjoyed when Huangfu Ming was defeated.
No one knows about the grudge between him and Huangfu Ming except themselves. Therefore, no one can understand his mood at this moment except himself.
After taking a look at Huangfu Ming's face, which was flushed with anger, Duanmucheng was in a good mood. He swaggered away from the scene with his hands behind his back. When Guozhong saw his master leaving, he followed closely and disappeared from the scene.
After the alchemy assessment was over, Qin Yi no longer had the need to stay here. Before leaving, he also glanced in the direction of Xu Qing.
Coincidentally, at this time, Xu Qing also looked towards Qin Yi. Their eyes met in the air.
From Xu Qing's eyes, Qin Yi could see a trace of unwillingness and at the same time a trace of relaxation.
At that moment, Qin Yi smiled at Xu Qing, then withdrew his gaze and turned to leave.
It is already dawn, and the sun has gradually risen from the east. Although its light is weak, it is working very hard to bring light to the entire sky.
"The sky of the Sea of Clouds Empire should be changing from now on."
After retracting his gaze, Qin Yi's eyes became extremely deep, and after leaving a sentence in an understatement, he disappeared.
…
After returning to the academy, the first thing Qin Yi did was not attend the celebration banquet held by the academy.
His goal was clear and he rushed directly to a secluded corner of the academy.
Not long after, he came to the door of a quiet courtyard. He stretched out his hand and knocked on the door, and the door was quickly opened.
"Qin Yi? Why are you here?"
After seeing Qin Yi, Xiao Xi was obviously a little surprised.
Qin Yi laughed and said to Xiao Xi: "Miss Xiao Xi, Qin came here specifically to express his gratitude this time."
Xiao Xidai frowned and asked in confusion: "Thank you?"
Qin Yi nodded slightly and said, "Yes. Is Miss Shepherd here?"
"Miss?" Xiao Xi pondered for a moment and said, "She is here."
Qin Yidao: "Can you let me in?"
"Just wait, I'll report it."
After saying that, Xiao Xi closed the door and went in to report. Soon, the door opened again. She said to Qin Yi: "Miss asked me to tell you, there is no need to say thank you. Mr. Qin should seize the time to practice, there are many things to do next.
, waiting for you to do it."
The disappointment in Qin Yi's eyes flashed, but he quickly recovered, with a humble smile on his face, and said: "Then please Miss Xiao Xi, please convey your gratitude to Qin again. Since Miss Mu
If it is inconvenient to meet, then Qin will take his leave."
After saying that, Qin Yi turned around and left the scene gracefully without any lingering or reluctance.
It wasn't until he was far away that Xiao Xi looked away, closed the door, and returned to the room.
"Miss, Qin Yi is gone."
In the room, a graceful figure was sitting cross-legged on the bed, her hands hanging up and down on her thighs. Between her palms, a small stone that exuded a sacred aura like glass was quietly suspended in it.
Wisps of transparent luster were continuously released from it, and then entered Mu Chan'er's body.
At this moment, Mu Chan'er was surrounded by mist, and she looked like a fairy in the mist, with a hint of ethereal and hazy beauty.
After hearing Xiao Xi's words, Mu Chan'er opened her eyes, and all the fog on her body dissipated.
When Xiao Xi saw Mu Chan'er coming, she hurried up to meet her and walked behind Mu Chan'er. Then, she frowned slightly and said, "Miss, this guy seems to already know."
