“Does anyone have any questions?” the head referee asked.

Many people raised their hands.

The head referee pointed at someone and said, “Go ahead.”

“Head Referee, is it okay if I only refine one type of pill?”

Many people wanted to ask this question.

After all, they had never refined these spirit pills before. It was easier to refine one type of spirit pill than to refine many types.

The referee replied, “Of course there’s no problem with this, but you can only refine the spirit pills on these ten formulas. No points will be given for any other types of spirit pills.”

“Yes! I understand.”

“Does anyone else have questions?”

“You, please speak.”

“Head referee, we’ve never refined these spirit pills before. Since this is our first time, a pill explosion will definitely happen.

“When that happens, the furnace will surely be broken.

“So time will be wasted to replace it.

“So, can the duration be extended? Three hours is too short.”

The head referee replied, “Student, you have to think clearly about why a pill explosion would occur. If your alchemy skills are good, that will not occur.

“You have to remember that this is a competition. It is a competition of skills. If pill explosions do not happen to others, then they are stronger than you. They have a chance of winning.

“Besides, if the explosion happens, it wouldn’t just happen to you.

“If everyone experiences the same thing, wouldn’t everyone be wasting the same amount of time? ”

The participant had no reason to retort.

After that, a few more people raised some questions, and the referee patiently answered them.

After the Q&A session ended, the participants went to their respective furnaces.

Before the competition began, all participants had two hours of preparation time.

During this period of time, they could familiarize themselves with the pill refinement steps recorded in the formulas and the materials needed for refinement.

After all, it was their first time working on these spirit pills. If they could not remember the steps clearly, they wouldn’t be able to refine the pills.

For a moment, the air became extremely quiet. Everyone was concentrating on memorizing the steps on the formulas.

After they began cultivating, their memory was extremely strong.

All of them could read ten lines at a glance and had a photographic memory.

However, today was a competition. It was definitely not enough to memorize them once. They had to memorize everything thoroughly.

The reason why everyone had come to participate in the competition was not only for the rewards but also for the opportunity to further their studies in the sect.

Sects were known as sacred cultivation grounds in the cultivation world. They were places everyone dreamed of going to.

This was the main reason why the Immortal Cultivation University Sports Meet was so popular.

“Time’s up. All participants, please pay attention. When you hear the sound of the gongs and drums, you can begin refining the pills.”

The head referee looked at the participants below with a smile on his face. He thought to himself, “Looks like everyone is working hard!”

The next second, he picked up the gong in his hand and knocked heavily.

Clang!

There was a loud bang.

The points-based competition began.

In an instant, the entire venue erupted.

In the audience, everyone cheered for the participants.

The most popular participant was none other than Xiao Huo.

His information was dug out immediately, and it was very detailed.

According to the information, Xiao Huo came from a traditional Chinese medicine family, but due to the improvement of modern medical technology, traditional Chinese medicine family was gradually forgotten.

Therefore, his family’s financial situation wasn’t very good, but it wasn’t poor either. They could be considered a fairly well-off family.

Xiao Huo had entered the university last year and had not even been here for a year.

His aptitude wasn’t good, but it wasn’t bad either. Because he had a traditional Chinese medicine background, she applied to major in Alchemy.

Amongst his peers in the Alchemy faculty, his alchemy results were above average. There was nothing particularly outstanding about him.

If anything, it would be that he was quite good-looking.

With his results, he was not qualified to participate in this sports meet.

However, a girl gave up her spot to him.

This girl’s grades had always been in the top three.

Not only was she excellent in her studies, but she was also very sweet-looking and had a nice voice. She had a group of admirers behind her and could be considered a popular figure in school.

This matter alarmed the school.

The school management had tried to talk to her many times, but this girl did not change her mind.

The school tried to persuade her, but the girl was very determined.

They had no choice but to accept the situation, and Xiao Huo got the spot.

Although he had a spot, no one had any hope for him. They expected him to be eliminated after one round.

However, when the results of the elimination match were announced, the school and his teammates were all dumbfounded.

Xiao Huo had obtained full marks for all three rounds and was ranked first.

The moment the results were announced, not only Xiao Huo’s school was in disbelief, but the other schools were also stunned.

It should be known that large-scale competitions like this had been inquired about by various schools before the competition—Who was the hot favorite… Who could be a dark horse!

Xiao Huo was quite famous.

However, his reputation wasn’t good because his participating qualification wasn’t based on his actual activities but thanks to the female student.

Hence, Xiao Huo was labeled as a gigolo and a freeloader.

However, after the results of the elimination round were announced, everyone’s opinion of him changed. He gained a large group of fangirls.

This was what it meant to be a dark horse.

And he was a very handsome dark horse.

Presently, half of the duration had passed.

All sorts of situations happened in the first half. The most common was naturally pill explosion.

After all, these students had never come into contact with the spirit pills they were going to refine. If they did not control the fire well, it was very easy for an explosion to occur.

However, those who could enter the points competition had pretty good alchemy talent.

After experiencing several failures, the participants learned from their experiences and soon produced the pills.

Among these contestants, there were some who could produce pills in one attempt.

Needless to say, these people all had the endowment to win.

At the mention of taking the crown, Xiao Huo was the one with the loudest cheers.

After all, he had scored full marks.

However, since the start of the points-based competition, he had been standing in front of the furnace-like a block of wood.

He was the only person who did not start refining pills.

Those who didn’t know better would think that he had been struck by the Immobilizing Spell.

The judges and referees found it very strange.

The head referee especially went over to check, afraid that something might have happened to Xiao Huo.

“Xiao Huo!” The head referee called over to Xiao Huo.

Xiao Huo looked at him and said with a smile, “Head referee.”

After hearing Xiao Huo’s response, the head referee secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

At that time, he really thought that Xiao Huo had been hit by the Immobilizing Spell.

After all, Xiao Huo’s results were so eye-catching. It could not be ruled out that there were some people who were secretly pulling little tricks.

But from the looks of it, Xiao Huo was normal.

Then, the head referee asked, “Xiao Huo, then did something happen to you?”

Xiao Huo shook his head. “Thank you for your concern, head referee. I am fine!”

The head referee frowned and said, “Then why didn’t you start refining pills?

“Half of the time has already passed.

“If you want to be the champion, you won’t have much time left.”

The head referee treasured talent as well. The same went for the elders from the Alchemy Peak in the judging panel.

Lu Guihua, the Peak Master of Alchemy Peak, even specially approached Xiao Huo to open the back door for him.

Xiao Huo knew what he was doing.

He replied, “Head referee, I guarantee that I will clinch the championship.”

Xiao Huo’s tone was exceptionally firm, and his eyes were filled with confidence.

The head referee looked very surprised. He did not know where Xiao Huo’s confidence came from.

If he really were to win, then his alchemy talent would truly be unimaginable.

One must know that Xiao Huo did not have much time left.

“Xiao Huo, you can do it!” The head referee let out a long sigh, patted Xiao Huo’s shoulder, and left.

In the audience.

Discussions broke out among the crowd regarding Xiao Huo’s actions.
