The sect competition concluded with an unexpected outcome.

Although the first place was still Mu Yuan, with his profound cultivation from the Eternal Youth Technique, a second-tier Qingyang Tree, and a second-tier magical weapon, he could hold his own against Foundation Establishment cultivators for a few moves.

But the second place was unexpectedly taken by the out-of-nowhere Yu Lian.

Had it not been for his status as a challenger-turned-true disciple, targeted by everyone in the latter rounds, revealing almost all his trump cards by the finals, Mu Yuan might have had a fierce battle with him.

Nevertheless, Yu Lian's rise to the second true disciple still caused a huge sensation within the Shenmu Sect.

As the stepping stone for Yu Lian's rise, Luo Yixiu was quietly resented by many true disciples.

Had he refused Yu Lian's challenge at the beginning, the latter would have been unable to become a true disciple due to not registering, and all this trouble would have been avoided.

During the final two rounds of the sect competition, the news that the Alchemy Division was preparing to refine a batch of Beast Foundation Establishment Pills finally spread and became known to all true disciples.

Following Chen Mobai, Mu Yuan, who had occupied the first place among true disciples for three consecutive years, was undoubtedly entitled to one.@@novelbin@@

Based on the pill formation rate from three years ago, there should be at least two pills.

The second-placed Yu Lian instantly became the object of envy among all true disciples.

The two true disciples ranked third and fourth even sought out their respective department heads, trying to annul Yu Lian's results for the year.

They all knew that doing so would make them the laughingstock of other true disciples and even all Qi Refining disciples, but when it came to Foundation Establishment Pills, they were willing to cast aside their pride.

After all, three years ago, Chen Mobai suppressed three thousand Qi Refining disciples with a single sword strike, then obtained the Beast Foundation Establishment Pill and ascended to heaven in one step, becoming the youngest Foundation Establishment elder in the sect – a prime example right before their eyes.
