Mo Yan stood in the first row, his position right in the middle, right under the noses of the two elders.

Lin Ye was a little unlucky, he was standing in the third row, but there were few people on his right who were out-of-body level students, and they had a greater impact on him.

The last female student is called Xu Rongrong, and her position is a little better, on the far left of the second row, and the out-of-body level student is the farthest.

"Ready? The competition is about to start, so you can ask any questions."

The white-clothed elder asked as usual, as in previous years.

"Ready!"

"No problem!"

"Problematic!"

The answers below were mixed.

"If you have any questions, I'll answer them for you."

The white-clothed elder was not surprised.

"Elder Yu, we are in the Yuan Infant Stage, and the ones next to us are in the Out-of-Body Period, and their cultivation will suppress us, which will affect our performance."

A young man said loudly, his position was also on the far right, next to him was the out-of-body level student, he stood in front of Lin Ye, Lin Ye was the last row.

"Don't worry about this problem, I'll activate the formation later, you just need to have no distractions and refine your own pills with peace of mind."

This question is asked almost every year, and the elders' answers are the same as in previous years.

"Still have questions?"

"Nope."

"Alright, I'll announce the rules of the contest."

Another white-clothed elder stood up, this elder looked kind, with a smile on his face, and easily made a good impression on the students.

"Since it's a preliminary round, the question this time is very simple, as long as you can refine the pill, and then rank according to your pill level, quality, and time."

"In order to make you have a good state in the future, the competition is fierce this time, and we have to choose one person among so many of you."

"So it's up to you what grade of pill to refine, the herbs needed to refine the pill are provided by the academy, you can immediately pick up the pen and paper on the table next to you, write down the herbs you need, and someone will send you the herbs you need."

After the kind elder was kind, the students quickly picked up a pen and paper and wrote down the herbs they needed.

Soon someone brought over the herbs they needed, Mo Yan took his herbs, turned his head to look at Lin Ye and Xu Rongrong, and then lowered his head to check his herbs.

Lin Ye and Xu Rongrong remembered what Lin Ye had told them before the game, and they also lowered their heads and seriously checked the herbs in their hands.

The kind elder didn't get angry when he saw Mo Yan's movements, but reminded all the students.

"You can check your herbs."

The following students are:

"No need to check, we trust the Academy!"

"Yes, we trust the Elders!"

"No need to check!"

At the front of the square, where the stone monument of the academy was placed, ten judges had already been prepared, and most of them frowned and were a little disappointed when they heard the words of those students, and then looked appreciatively at the few people who were silently examining the herbs.

A qualified alchemist must be careful and cautious, and he must habitually inspect the herbs and the Dan furnace, otherwise in some specific circumstances, if someone does something on the Dan furnace and the herbs, and the alchemist does not check it out, it will kill people in serious cases.

Those who make sycophants must not know that they have disappointed the judges, and they are very energetic one by one.

There weren't many kind elders, waiting for the students who were checking the herbs to finish checking them.
