191: Doing three things at once shocked the whole audience!

The exclamation came from Yin Xiaotong, who was not far away.

After Dan Xiaoya made a mistake, Yin Xiaotong also made a mistake. A medicinal herb appeared before her that was not among the herbs Lu Hao had provided her.

There was nothing she could do; her botanical knowledge came entirely from the medicinal herbs Lu Hao provided. As for the one in front of her, she had never even seen it...

Yin Xiaotong’s botanical knowledge had reached a terrifying five hundred thousand! But that didn’t mean she could answer all questions within five hundred thousand Daos.

It only meant she had memorized five hundred thousand medicinal herbs. So, when she encountered an unfamiliar herb, she was helpless.

The last question, the one hundred thousandth!

Everyone completed their final imprints.

With the end of this question, the first stage of the Alchemy Conference concluded. Before Xiao Zhuyue, a nine-colored Heavenly Flower bloomed in nine colors!

The nine-colored flower gently swayed, emitting a captivating glow.

Xiao Zhuyue was the only Alchemist who got a perfect score in this stage! She was also the only nine-colored participant! She attracted countless gazes!

“That’s the Prodigy of our Lingshan Great Domain. Look, she easily took first place in the first stage!”

“This girl is indeed exceptionally talented. Judging by her state, she didn't even use her full strength in this first stage.”

...

Besides Xiao Zhuyue, a total of six Alchemists achieved eight colors, including Dan Xiaoya and Yin Xiaotong. However, when the rankings were revealed, Yin Xiaotong was ranked second!

They both made one mistake, but because Yin Xiaotong took less time to answer questions than Dan Xiaoya, she ranked higher.

After this assessment, Yin Xiaotong was truly famous throughout the entire Danling State!

Yin Xinghai and Zhen Sixi were currently on the stage, excitedly watching their daughter.

Both had traveled thousands of miles to the competition venue. To avoid disturbing their daughter’s competition, they hadn’t told Yin Xiaotong of their arrival.

Now, seeing their daughter achieve second place in the first stage, an unparalleled sense of pride welled up within them!

At this moment, Yin Xinghai felt incredibly fortunate. He had never expected Yin Xiaotong’s Alchemy talent to be so astonishing! She could actually stand out among the younger generation in the entire Danling State!

“This is not what that Alchemist I found before said. Damn it, that charlatan almost ruined my daughter’s Heaven-Defying Alchemy talent!”

“This is truly all thanks to Brother Lu…” Yin Xinghai silently thanked Lu Hao once again.

At this moment, Qi Yuda, the Sect Master of Miao Dan Sect, was staring at Yin Xiaotong. He naturally knew Yin Xiaotong’s appearance and recognized her at a glance as the peerless genius who had comprehended the Heavenly Palm Pit martial art!

“What’s going on? This girl has such high talent in cultivation, and she’s also so terrifying in Alchemy?”

“Which Sect did she join?!”

The first stage concluded, and the rankings for First-Rank, Second-Rank, and Third-Rank Alchemists were all determined.

After a short break, the Alchemy Conference immediately entered its second stage: the Medicinal Herb Refinement Stage!

All the contestants took their positions. Dan Ding saw the situation and announced:

“For the second stage, within one hour, contestants must refine all the medicinal herbs in front of them!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a pile of medicinal herbs appeared before everyone. Yin Xiaotong had a full hundred different medicinal herbs in front of her!

Second-Rank Alchemists had fifty herbs, and First-Rank Alchemists had ten.

Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw the medicinal herbs in front of them... This? Is this real?!

One hour to refine so many medicinal herbs?!!! My goodness, even if you called a Fourth-Rank Alchemist, they might not be able to complete it!!!

“So many?! How can we finish refining them all?!”

“It’s over, it’s over. I wasn’t very good at the second stage to begin with, and now I have even less of a chance…”

Everyone continuously complained, but their movements were not slow at all; they immediately plunged into the intense and exciting refining process.

The spectators in the audience also shook their heads when they saw the content of the second stage. It was too difficult, truly too difficult... Could anyone really complete it?

A typical Third-Rank Alchemist could barely be considered qualified if they could successfully refine one medicinal herb within half an hour, but here there were a full hundred!

“Look! That person’s speed is so fast!”

Everyone looked over at the sound, only to see a man controlling his Origin Qi to refine medicinal herbs. Judging by his progress, he was already about to complete the refinement of the first herb!

And this was only one minute in!!

“Holy cow! That one is even more amazing! My goodness, she’s actually refining two Medicinal Pills simultaneously!!”

Hearing this, everyone looked towards Dan Xiaoya, their eyes filled with shock.

Dan Ding, suspended in mid-air, chuckled as he looked at his granddaughter, his eyes filled with immense pride.

He had long been teaching Dan Xiaoya the art of dual-tasking. Presumably, no Alchemist participating in the competition would know it, right?

That’s right, multi-tasking is generally a Domain that Sixth-Rank Alchemists come into contact with. How could mere low-level Alchemists learn it?

Only a Grandmaster of Alchemy like me, plus my unparalleled talented granddaughter, could possibly achieve it, hahahaha...

Dan Ding felt quite pleased with himself and showed a satisfied smile, but then his gaze swept over to Yin Xiaotong.

He was dumbfounded...

Huh? No?!

Is this real?

Dan Ding rubbed his eyes with his hand. Three... three herbs!!!

This Yin Xiaotong could actually multi-task with three things at once?!

How on earth did she do it? Who is her master? How could she master the method of multi-tasking with three things at the Third-Rank Alchemist stage?!

This, this is simply impossible to accomplish, isn't it? Without a lot of time to practice, how could anyone reach such a level?

Dan Ding fell into deep self-doubt. Was his teaching method wrong? Or was Xiaoya's talent not good enough?

Or did the master on the other side have some secret technique that could help Disciples quickly master this skill?

Not only Dan Ding noticed Yin Xiaotong, but even the other eleven Grandmasters of Alchemy in mid-air detected Yin Xiaotong's Heaven-Defying behavior!

They all looked at Yin Xiaotong in shock.

This was simply unheard of! This little girl was at most in her early twenties, how could she possess such terrifying strength?

Zuo Shaoyuan frowned, constantly thinking about something in his mind. Suddenly, he thought of a person: Lu Hao!

If he had to find a master who could teach such a Heaven-Defying Disciple, Lu Hao was the only one he thought possible.

He knew very well that the twelve Grandmasters of Alchemy present were definitely not that girl’s master!

Thinking of this, Zuo Shaoyuan immediately looked towards the audience. After a short period of investigation, his body trembled!

It really was him! Lu Hao!

Zuo Shaoyuan saw that Lu Hao’s eyes were constantly fixed on Yin Xiaotong, and a satisfied smile was on his lips. He felt it was highly likely that Lu Hao was her master!

Immediately, Zuo Shaoyuan’s thought of taking a Disciple was extinguished. With Lu Hao, such a terrifying existence in both Alchemy and Dao cultivation, they naturally had no hope.

“Third Brother, what’s wrong? You look a bit distracted?”

The second brother beside him transmitted his voice.

“It’s nothing, nothing. I was just a little surprised by that girl’s refining skill.”

“Hmm… This girl named Yin Xiaotong is indeed very impressive. Even I am moved by her talent. After the Alchemy Conference ends, I want to see if I can get her to become my Disciple.”

Upon hearing this, Zuo Shaoyuan quickly said:

“Don’t! Second Brother, listen to me, absolutely do not provoke this girl! The waters behind her are very deep, you can’t handle it!”

“Oh? Third Brother, what’s the situation? Tell me. Even you think the waters are deep. I’m a bit curious now.”

Zuo Shaoyuan slowly shook his head and transmitted his voice:

“Now is not the right time to say. When the time is right, I will naturally tell you. Second Brother, just don’t provoke that girl.”

“Alright, alright, I naturally trust what Third Brother says.”
