The Demon Genius Woman
Alchemy Match (2)

After separating the herbs and ordinary grass, Hinata took 2 steps back, but she was still standing behind her table.

As soon as Hinata took 2 steps back, Bai Wei Xiang also completed the sorting and he also retreated which signified that he had finished. There was also Ji Xuan, although he was a bit slow in gathering or rather separating the 100 herbs from that pile of grass, but he was the third person to finish.

Just a few minutes after Ji Xuang finished, there were Meng Qi Ying, Qin Qing and Xia Jun who completed the sorting.

On the bleachers, Old Mo smiled seeing that his three disciples had finished sorting herbs.

“Old Mo, is one of the participants down there your student? You smile so happily.”

Old Mo grinned even more, he then looked at his friend who was sitting next to him.

The place he was at was not where the sect leaders and sect elders were, but on the bench where the experts from the place were seated.

“ Not only 1 but 3. The three of them finished sorting early.”

Old Mo's friend looked towards the flat-faced Hinata without the slightest hint of emotion being detected. He was so calm and so calm that he did not as well as he did not have any arrogance to his abilities. It was as if the abilities he possessed were at a normal level.

Bai Wei Xiang himself still had a faint smile on his lips, but the smile on his lips did not reach his eyes.

Ji Xuan was even worse. The loner and gloomy aura was deeply felt, even that handsome face froze like ice that had never melted for thousands of years.

After a long time, 7 more people retreated because they had completed the sorting to coincide with the given time was also completed.

“Alright, time out, please who did not complete the sorting according to the amount requested to leave the arena.”

Those remaining directly walked out of the arena. They were confident they could complete the first stage if they were given additional time.

Hinata, Bai Wei Xiang, Ji Xuan, Qin Qing, Xia Jun, Meng Qi Ying and the other 7 stood quietly behind their tables waiting to be judged.

Soon one of the elders of the Alchemist Association came to assess. Once he was in the arena, he stared at the tables of all the participants meaningfully.

First he stepped onto Ji Xuan's table, as it was the closest to him.

Ji Xuan didn't separate all the herbs from the pile, but he only set aside 100 herbs on request.

“Alright, you passed.”

“Thank you, Elder.”

Ji Xuan slightly lowered his head in honor of the elder.

After Ji Xuan, the elder assessed the 7 people who were almost out of time. Among those 7 people only 2 escaped, as the other 5 mistakenly chose herbs. They do not separate herbs, but separate ordinary grasses that have almost 100% similarity to certain herbs.

After those 7 people, the elder assessed Qin Qing, Meng Qi Ying, and Xia Jun. The three quickly escaped.

The elder finally walked towards Bai Wei Xiang's desk which had separated all the herbs from the ordinary grass.

The elder looked at Bai Wei Xiang with a meaningful smile.

“Why separate everything?”

“Chairman, 100 too little.”

Bai Wei Xiang's reply did sound quite arrogant, but his tone was neither arrogant nor humble which signified if it should be like that.

The elder's lips twitched, but there was appreciation in his eyes.

“Alright, you passed.”

“Thank you, Elder.”

The elder finally walked towards Hinata whose face was so cold, not even showing his emotions.

“What's your name?”

“Zhu Ji Zihua.”

Hearing that, the corner of Ji Xuan's eyes twitched. Okay, he doesn't want to care anymore. Let his sister do as she pleases.

The elder then looked at Hinata's desk and he was again dumbfounded.

“You separated everything?”

“Is it too difficult?”

The elder chuckled helplessly. There is something more m*sum than that.

“Good girl, you passed.”

“Ya.”

Of course Hinata and Bai Wei Xiang's statement invited the discussion of all those who were watching.

“I did not expect the two could be so fast in sorting herbs.”

“They are all too m*sum. I'm not even sure if I can sort out 100 herbs in such a short time.”

“Indeed it is worth being a disciple of a big sect, if they are not strong, they are not necessarily chosen to be a participant.”

“This 10-year tournament does not disappoint.”

On the other hand, on Old Mo's seat, he was extremely proud of his three disciples. Although he basically did not interfere too much with the training of his four students, but he often gave input if they were in a jam and unable to break through.

Although one of them was a weapon refining master, it did not hinder him. He even wanted to raise Ao Xue when he came to fetch the soul-restoring water, but Ao Xue did not reply, she just smiled.

Old Mo was not a narrow-minded person, so he did not force Ao Xue to become his disciple.

“Old Mo, all three of your students are very good.”

“Of course it's not bad. My vision is definitely the best.”

Fellow Old Mo simply rolled his eyes in boredom then looked back at the arena.

The emperor himself still smiled calmly upon hearing what Bai Wei Xiang and Hinata had said, but his heart did not want to calm down and sounded very excited.

He thought that the current easy talent was not bad. He only wished he could live longer to see the young talents that would be born one by one.

The rules of the Imperial family to choose a successor did seem cruel, but whoever managed to sit on the throne, they would instantly have the thoughts to look after the people and make the younger generation superior to the previous generation.

Zhu Tian Mo himself was not too surprised by Hinata's abilities, but he was somewhat helpless when he heard Hinata introduce her name flatly without the slightest emotion.

Naruto and the 5th Demon Lord only smiled faintly. They certainly knew the strength of Hinata and Bai Wei Xiang, so they were not too surprised.

While the Elders assessed the results of the first stage, some people arranged several tables with caldrons and recipes on them and placed them in the arena.

Seeing if the organizer finished setting up the next stage table, the elder spoke calmly.

“The next stage is working hard. Please choose which table you are interested in!”

After saying a few words, the elder returned to his place and directly handed the next thing to Lu Bai.

“Congratulations for those of you who successfully advanced to stage 2, on the table there are caldrons and recipes. For the material, you can choose at the table that you used for the first session. Start!!”
