The next morning, the sun had just risen and the warm sunlight sprinkled on the square of Aeolus Academy.

At this time, the disciples from each of the six major colleges have already gathered here, looking forward to today's exciting competition.

The competition area has been set up in the square and everything is ready.

Today's competition will first start with the alchemy competition. This is the time for the alchemy disciples to show their skills.

As a member of the martial arts department, Ye Qingqing is not only good at martial arts, but also has a strong interest in alchemy.

In this competition, in addition to participating in the martial arts competition, she was also signed up by Instructor Liu and Instructor Yang to participate in the alchemy and formation competitions.

The early stages of the competition were mainly competitions between the various academies in the fields of alchemy, weapon cultivation, and formation cultivation, with the aim of winning honor and more cultivation resources for their respective academies.

The final stage is to enter the sect selection competition in the three regions. Only the best students can get this rare opportunity.

In this day full of passion and challenges, every contestant tried their best, hoping to achieve excellent results in their field of expertise and win more honors and resources for the college.

Ye Qingqing came to the competition arena. There were four alchemy competitions in total.

The top 500 people who answer the first written test will enter the next round; the second round is to identify medicinal herbs, and the top 200 people who identify the most will enter the next round; the third round is to refine pills within the specified time, and the top 100 people who make the best pills will enter the next round; the fourth round is to refine your own best pill based on your own situation, and the top 50 best people will be selected by the judges.

The top fifty will not only be able to participate in the final sect selection, but Fengshen Academy will also reward them with a chance to enter the trial tower of their academy.

The Trial Tower not only contained the elixir recipes that alchemists dreamed of, but also the inheritance of various talisman, formation, sword, and weapon techniques. This was why Instructor Liu and Instructor Yang wanted her to participate.

If Ye Qingqing can successfully rank among the top 50 in both the alchemy and formation assessments, she will gain two additional valuable opportunities for Xuanqing Academy to enter the Trial Tower.

In fact, it was not only Xuanqing College that adopted this strategy. Several other colleges also used it to add competition items to obtain more rewards.

Therefore, Ye Qingqing's decision did not attract much attention, because in this highly competitive environment, everyone is trying to find various ways to improve their performance.

Ye Qingqing followed everyone to the competition area and sat down at the nearest table.

The entire examination room was filled with a tense and quiet atmosphere. Nearly a thousand people sat in their seats, concentrating on thinking about the questions.

Apart from the occasional rustling of papers and the rustling of pen tips across paper, there was almost no other sound.

Ye Qingqing passed all the tests and successfully entered the final match. She took a deep breath, adjusted her state, and began to refine the marrow cleansing pill, which she was best at and could earn the most spirit stones.

When Ye Qingqing finished refining the elixir, the whole place fell silent.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the pill in her hand that was emitting a medicinal aroma.

At this time, an old man with white hair and beard came forward. He carefully picked up the pill that Ye Qingqing had just refined and examined it carefully.

"This, is this the marrow cleansing pill?" There was a hint of surprise and confusion in the old man's voice.

He sniffed the aroma of the pill gently, then touched the surface of the pill with his fingers, feeling its texture and temperature.

"Hiss! Did you hear that? The referee said that she was refining the marrow cleansing pill?" A disciple watching from the audience exclaimed.

A disciple next to him nodded at him and said, "You heard it right. The pill in the hand of the referee of Fengshen Academy is the Marrow Cleansing Pill."

"Marrow cleansing pills, they can help people cleanse their meridians and marrow and remove impurities from their bodies."

Ye Qingqing nodded gently, and with a hint of confidence on her pretty face, she answered, "Yes, what I refined was the Marrow Cleansing Pill."

"Good! Good! Good!" An expression of excitement and appreciation gradually appeared on the old man's face, but he felt a pity in his heart, why wasn't the student a disciple of their academy!

Several people around Ye Qingqing who were participating in the competition together felt jealous. Why couldn't they refine such a good pill?

As expected, Ye Qingqing won first place in the alchemy competition, because no one could refine better pills than Ye Qingqing.

However, in fact, this marrow cleansing pill was not Ye Qingqing's real alchemy level, she just did it for the sake of convenience.

After all, the materials needed for alchemy were all prepared by the disciples themselves, and how could they possibly possess such precious materials as Ye Qingqing's.

Therefore, even if someone wants to surpass Ye Qingqing, they are unable to do so.

Zhang Ruize was also watching Ye Qingqing's competition from the audience. Although he had no feelings towards Ye Qingqing, it did not prevent him from appreciating her.

Although Ye Qingqing did not participate in the following competitions of medicine, divination, swordsmanship, weapon training, etc., she would go to the competition site to watch them every day.

Time passed quickly until the day of the formation competition arrived.

Under the guidance of formation instructor Yang, Ye Qingqing and other disciples participating in the formation competition came to the competition area together.

It seemed a bit deserted here because there were not many disciples participating in the formation competition, only about one or two hundred people in total.

Unlike other competitions, the formation competition is not divided into many rounds.

Instead, it will only be one competition, and all participating disciples will enter the competition area at the same time.

Various combinations of traps have been set up in this area in advance. They are interconnected and intricate, posing a huge challenge to the contestants.

When Ye Qingqing stepped into the competition area, she felt a mysterious force, and in the blink of an eye, she was teleported to a different formation.

These formations have their own characteristics, some are mysterious and unpredictable, while others are insidious and cunning, making them difficult to grasp.

Ye Qingqing must find an exit as soon as possible, otherwise she might be trapped and unable to escape.

It is not easy to successfully walk out of these formations, but as long as you can be one of the first 50 people to walk out, you will win.

Each formation is a test. Facing such a challenge, one needs to use wisdom and skills to break the formation.

Ye Qingqing observed carefully and found that she was trapped in a combination of a maze array and a sword array. The maze array originally had a very strong illusion ability, and the creator added the sword array to it.

Ye Qingqing drew her sword from the space, blocking the sword attacking her while looking for the center of the formation.

The illusion of the maze array almost made Ye Qingqing fall into hallucination. She was completely unable to distinguish between reality and falsehood.

This surprised her greatly, because she had never thought that the maze array would have such a powerful confusing ability.

At the same time, the sword array continued to attack her, causing many cuts on her body.

"Tsk tsk!" Fat Bai was observing Ye Qingqing in the space, and couldn't help but sigh when he saw the scars all over her body.

Bai Xiaopang thought that if Ye Qingqing needed help, it could help at any time.

"No, I want to break the formation with my own ability!"

Ye Qingqing rejected Bai Xiaopang. Although Bai Xiaopang was now able to teleport short distances, she hoped to break the formation with her own strength.

Doing so would not only train her abilities, but also allow her to better understand the principles and rules of the formation.

Furthermore, she would never truly master this skill if she always relied on others for help.

Therefore, despite the difficulties and setbacks she might encounter, Ye Qingqing decided to rely on her own strength to try to break the formation.

As time went by, Ye Qingqing gradually adapted to the illusion of the maze array and found the center of the array. She waved the sword in her hand to block the sword attacking her while moving towards the center of the array.

After some struggle, she finally moved to the center of the formation. She put away the sword in her hand, and used all her strength in both hands to exert her greatest force towards the center of the formation.

With a "bang", the maze formation and the sword formation were broken at the same time.

When Ye Qingqing walked out of the formation, she found that she was not the first person to complete the task, because before her, nine disciples had already come out of the formation.

And she became the tenth person to successfully pass the formation. But no matter what, Ye Qingqing felt that she was already very good to be able to successfully pass the formation and enter the top 50!

After coming out of the formation, everyone's situation was actually similar. Everyone had more or less wounds and bruises on their bodies, which were traces left by the battle in the formation.

However, compared with others, Ye Qingqing's injuries were obviously more serious.

Perhaps it was because she tried too hard in the formation, or maybe it was just bad luck, anyway, she looked seriously injured.

"Ye Qingqing, how are you?" Teacher Yang was a little worried about Ye Qingqing when he saw her coming out covered in injuries.

"Teacher Yang, I'm fine, I just look more seriously injured."

Ye Qingqing took out a healing pill from the space and secretly circulated the spiritual energy in her body, allowing the healing pill to slowly repair the wounds on her body.

"That's good!" Teacher Yang felt relieved when he saw her take out the healing pill and eat it.
