Chapter 73: Lady Ming Yue’s Interest
***
One week later.
Ming Yuan Sect.
"The next participant to advance to the main round is Shen Li."
All participants gathered in the sect’s main hall to hear the announcement of the main round participants. They had all gone through three rounds, each with its own difficulties.
In the first round, the participants were required to make a third-level element pill, and Li Shen passed. In the second round, the participants were required to make a cultivation pill above the thirdgrade, and Li Shen passed. In the third round, the participants were required to complete an unfinished pill to make it a perfect above third-level pill, and Li Shen passed.
The number of participants decreased from the first round to the third round. Those who managed to survive until the main round reached 32 participants.
Li Shen was one of them. That made Ming Yue smile from the podium. She did not expect that a wandering cultivator like Shen Li would defeat so many cultivators from other sects and families in the Ming Zhao Kingdom.
Ming Gong glanced briefly when Shen Li’s name was called by the committee. The man felt caught off guard because it was the first time he had seen Ming Yue take an interest in the pill tournament, even though she had clearly said she refused to come.
"Don’t tell me you’re starting to take an interest in this tournament, Yue’er?" Ming Gong asked, surprising Ming Yue.
"N-No. I’m just impressed by all the participants who made it to the main round," Ming Yue replied, trying to deny it.
